Chapter 7: Strange Things
In the face of Lao Wutou's abnormal performance, although I felt that he seemed to know something, but we couldn't force him to tell us what information he knew in public, so we had to walk away silently, standing in the cultural market, I was suddenly at a loss, and Yang Zhi kept wiping the Tang knife with his shirt, muttering while wiping. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I took a cigarette out of my pocket, lit it, and sat on the side of the road smoking.
Yang Zhi: "Thank you, senior brother. ”
Yang Zhi seemed to like the gift I gave him, and said to me while wiping the knife, and I nodded to Yang Zhi while smoking a cigarette.
"Dig holes in the ground, dig out coal blocks, there are monsters, take treasures, flood, death light, death light, hahahaha" Suddenly a strange shouting sound came from my ears, I looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a man named Hua Ziyi jumping and jumping in the market, shouting that sentence repeatedly, shouting and laughing while shouting. Hanako's clothes are tattered, her face is full of dust, one foot is stepping on a broken shoe with open toes, and the shoes on the other foot have long since disappeared, it seems that this person is a madman. The people around looked at this madman and didn't react, or what should he do, it seems that this madman has not been here for a day or two, everyone has long been accustomed to his existence, and after a while, the kung fu madman ran to the edge of Lao Wutou's stall, and the old Wu Tou, who was cleaning up things, saw him with an angry face.
Old Wu Tou: "Hurry up and get out of here, crazy what's crazy." ”
After the old Wu Tou finished speaking, he stepped forward and kicked the madman, and the madman saw that someone was beating him, and staggered away, shouting as he ran: "Dig holes in the ground, dig out coal blocks..."
"Oh, that's pathetic," a sanitation worker near me shook his head and sighed as he swept the floor.
"Auntie, how pitiful this person is, isn't he just a madman?" I smiled and said to my aunt who was sweeping the floor.
Sanitation worker: "You're out of town, aren't you?" ”
Auntie looked at me and Yang Zhi on the side, smiled, I nodded and said, "Yes, we are from out of town." ”
Sanitation worker: "That's it, if anyone in the local area doesn't know about Ah San." ”
Listening to what my aunt said, I realized that the name of the madman just now was Ah San, could it be that Ah San is a person with a story? This aroused my curiosity, and I hurriedly invited my aunt to come over and sit and rest together, thinking that it would be okay anyway, and letting my aunt tell us about Ah San can be regarded as relieving our boredom.
Aunt Sanitation Worker was very enthusiastic, seeing that I invited her to put down her work and sit beside me, I told Yang Zhi to buy a few bottles of water, and Auntie drank a few sips of water and told us.
It turns out that Ah San was not like this in the past, he was a coal worker in Xinzhang Coal Mine in the past, he worked diligently, he was loyal and honest, he also had a pair of children, and he lived a very happy life. Until one morning in the summer of six years ago, Ah San went to work as usual, and when he arrived at the unit, Ah San changed into work clothes with his co-workers, and went down to work in a ground cage truck. At noon, news of underground water penetration came from the mining area, and Ah San was trapped underground with hundreds of workers. Organizations from all walks of life rushed to the rescue, but everyone rescued them for more than a month, and no one was rescued. The mines of the coal mine are more than 1,000 meters underground, and once the water penetrates, they cannot be rescued at all, and then everyone gives up the rescue. Just when everyone thought that none of the workers working underground survived, someone found Ah San dying by a ventilation shaft in the coal mine, and then sent him to the hospital for rescue, so Ah San became the only worker who survived the mine disaster. After being rescued in the hospital, Ah San was lucky to pick up a life, but since Ah San woke up again, the family found that Ah San was no longer the Ah San of the past, he muttered words that everyone didn't understand every day, and then Ah San's wife left him with the child, and since then Ah San has lived alone, wandering on the street crazy every day, shouting the same words every day. A disaster turns Ah San into a madman who lives on the streets. The coal mine where Ah San used to work was no longer able to be mined due to changes in the underground mining environment due to water permeability, and the mine was also closed down by the local government.
"Oh, poor thing." After speaking, the aunt shook her head and walked away with her own tools, looking at the back of the aunt who was far away, thinking about Ah San just now, I couldn't help but feel sad, and Yang Zhi was even more sad, maybe he remembered his own wandering experience after his parents died.
After my aunt left, I drove back to the hotel with Yang Zhi, and when I returned to the hotel, the fat man and A-Ning had already gotten up to watch TV.
A-Ning was very happy to see us coming back, and said to me, "Brother Xiaojiang, how is the investigation today?" ”
Fat Man: "yes, what's the catch?" ”
Looking at the two of them, I shook my head and sighed and said, "I didn't gain anything today, the only thing I got was to buy a Tang knife." ”
I said and pointed to the knife on Yang Zhi's back, the fat man was curious when he saw Yang Zhi's knife, and ran over to take the knife off Yang Zhi's body, but Yang Zhi was very alert, and when the fat man was about to touch the knife handle, he pinched the fat man's wrist with his hand, and the fat man screamed in pain, Yang Zhi let go of his hand, and the fat man had to give up, but he scolded Yang Zhi for having a sick brain, but Yang Zhi did not react.
In the afternoon, a few of us had nothing to do, we finished dinner early and lay on the bed watching TV, the fat man looked at the TV and said to me: "Xiao Jiang, let's go out for a walk, I stayed with A-Ning in the hotel for a day, and we are all about to grow hair." ”
The fat man had been in the house all day, and his heart must have been very bored, so I called Yang Zhi and A Ning out for a walk, because the place where we lived was close to the suburbs, and there was nothing to visit, so a few of us came to the Chaiwen River.
Walking on the riverside and looking at the sun that is about to set in the west, my heart is very comfortable, the slow flowing water, the faint earthy smell makes people feel refreshed. But when I remembered the purpose of our trip, I fell into hesitation again.
A few of us walked by the river, the fat man A-Ning walked and made trouble, while Yang Zhi and I slowly walked behind the fat man and them, looking at the river and thinking about the map on the silk. The fat man looked at me without saying a word and walked up to me and said, "What, are you still thinking about the map?" ”
I nodded silently.
Fat man: "I think it's actually very simple, didn't you take out the map, compare the trend of the river in the map, compare the current river trend, don't you roughly determine the location?" ”
The fat man's words reminded me, but when I thought about it, it was wrong, they all said that the vicissitudes of life, that silk painting has been thousands of years from today, and the river has long changed, and it is impossible to compare it. I shook my head at the fat man.
The four of us continued to walk forward, and Yang Zhi suddenly stopped our way and said to us mysteriously: "Someone." ”
Then Yang Zhi pulled out the Tang knife on his back, quietly walked behind a piece of reeds, and opened the grass to look over. Looking at Yang Zhishen's mysterious appearance, I and a few people also quietly walked up to Yang Zhi and looked through the reeds.
At this time, it was already dark, and through the reeds I could vaguely see two people shaking with flashlights, and one person said to the other, "Master, do you want to shovel here?" ”
Another person took a flashlight, walked around the area for a while, and said, "This is it!" ”
Then the two of them cooperated and continued to take a thin pole to hit the ground, seeing here I thought to myself, we have encountered a tomb robbery, and it is still a father and son, and the thin pole should be the Luoyang shovel. Luoyang shovel, also known as exploration shovel, a tomb robbery tool invented by tomb robbers, is a half-cylindrical shovel. One section has a handle, which can be lengthened with an ash rod. When used, it pokes the ground vertically downward, uses a semi-cylindrical shovel to bring out the soil from the ground, and gradually digs a deep well with a diameter of about a few meters, which is used to detect the soil quality of the underground soil layer to understand whether there are ancient tombs underground. I saw two people constantly poking the ground, every time they pulled up, they would observe the soil brought out by the flashlight, and the two people continued to work until the son said to his father excitedly: "Master, I hit the green bricks." ”
When the father heard this, he ran over, looked at the dirt brought by the shovel, and said to his son, "Do it, it's down there." After saying that, the two men threw the shovel aside, picked up the iron drill and dug it.
Fat man: "Good boy, it seems that we have run into a tomb robber this time." ”
I whispered to the fat man, "I'll catch them later." ”
The fat man rubbed his hands excitedly and replied in a low voice, "Okay." ”
At first, the two men dug the ground together, and when the hole was deep, one stood on the ground, and the other went into the hole, and the person in the hole dug the earth, and the person outside the hole used a basket to lift the earth out. After a while, people from outside also entered, and then one of them was faintly heard saying, "It's here." But not long after, both men came out again, sat down at the mouth of the cave, lit their cigarettes, and smoked.
The fat man looked at me and said, "Xiao Jiang, is there nothing in it, so they came up?" Do you want to do it? ”
The fat man asked me if I could do anything, and I was also very hesitant, not knowing if the time had come, and approaching to catch the thief and scratch the dirt. At this time, A-Ning whispered to us: "Don't worry, they didn't come out because there was nothing inside, but they were afraid of poisonous gas or something inside, afraid of danger, open the tomb and let him ventilate, and they will go down later." ”
After listening to A-Ning's words, I nodded secretly, thinking that what A-Ning said should be right. Sure enough, as A-Ning said, the two of them re-entered the robbery cave after smoking, and came for nearly half an hour, the two people climbed out, but there was nothing on their bodies, after getting out of the hole, they immediately pulled a rope, until finally pulled out a bag from the hole, the bag was full, it seemed that the harvest was not small, I secretly thought that a cunning tomb robber, if they brought things with them, they would definitely not be able to take so much, and it was very dangerous, but in this way, it was easy to pull out the things in the tomb.
It seems that the time is almost up, I gave the fat man and Yang Zhi a look, the fat man Yang Zhi understood, Yang Zhi put away his knife, and followed the fat man slowly walked over, at this time the two tomb robbers were checking today's harvest by the light of the flashlight, and did not notice the approach of Yang Zhi and the fat man.
Yang Zhi and the fat man approached the backs of the two people, and suddenly grabbed the back of the necks of the two people, and directly pressed the faces of the two people into the soil. One of the sons shouted, "Lord, what the hell are we doing." ”
When the other thief heard this, his legs trembled and he did not dare to make a sound.
The fat man shouted at us at this time, "Come here, both thieves have been caught." ”
I heard it with A-Ning and hurriedly walked over, at this time the fat man and Yang Zhicai pulled the two of them up from the ground, I saw that it was an old man and a small two, and the little one kept kowtowing and shouting: "Ghost grandfathers, spare your life, it's all this old immortal who instructed me to do it." ”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard the thief's words, and then the thief knew that we were not ghosts but people, and suddenly sat down on the ground. Look at the old one, he has already passed out, it seems that the stimulation is too great to scare the old thief out. I walked up to the old thief and tried to wake him up, but when I shone it with a flashlight, my eyes couldn't help but enlarge: Isn't this the old Wu head of the cultural market?
"Yang Zhi, isn't this the old Wu head we bought his knife in the morning?" I said to Yang Zhi.
Yang Zhi walked over and pulled Lao Wu Tou to look at it, and then nodded at me.
The thief saw that we knew the old Wu Tou and begged us and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, since you know my master, please let us go, take the things, please let me go." ”
Ah Ning walked to Old Wutou's cloth bag, took out a bronze mirror from the cloth bag and said to us: "Look, they dug a Warring States tomb this time!" ”
The fat man looked at the bronze mirror in A-Ning's hand, and said viciously to the thief, "Let you go?" If you think about it, you will call the police and send them to the police station. ”
I waved my hand and said to the thief, "Now you throw what you stole back into the hole, then bury the hole, and then carry your father with us, and listen to me honestly, otherwise we will be unkind to you."
When the thief heard what I said, he picked up the bag and ran to the mouth of the cave, looking reluctant, but when he looked back, he threw us down.
Then the thief carried the old Wu Tou on his back and went back to the hotel with us, the four of us closed the door, the fat man took a glass of water and splashed it on the face of the old Wu Tou, the old Wu Tou was splashed with water and woke up, the old Wu Tou wiped his face with his hand and then opened his eyes.
"Old Wu Tou, do you still recognize me?" I said to Old Wu Tou.
Old Wu Tou fixed his eyes, and suddenly sat up in horror and shouted: "It's you." ”
I said, "That's me, why, dare to rob the tomb," I turned to the fat man and said, "Or I think I'll hand them over to the police." ”
Fatty: "Okay." ”
After the fat man finished speaking, he was about to take out his mobile phone to make a call, and when the old Wu Tou saw that the fat man was about to make a call, he hurriedly ran over and grabbed the mobile phone, and said to me: "Since it has fallen into your hands, let's say, how can you let me and Qiangzi go." ”
Hadron? I looked at the young thief sitting on the side with his head bowed, it turned out that the son of the old Wu Tou was called Qiangzi.
"Easy, just tell me what you want to know?" I said to Old Wu Tou with a smile.
Old Wu Tou: "What do you want to know?" ”
"It's the one I asked you in the cultural market today, where is the Xuanming in Xintai!" I didn't tell all of the palace.
As soon as Lao Wu heard what I said, he immediately hung his head and said to me: "I don't know, you still send me to the police station." ”
As soon as Qiangzi heard Lao Wu Tou say let's send us to the police station, he hurriedly grabbed Lao Wu Tou's hand: "Master, are you crazy, we can't get out if we go to the police station, don't you know what Xuan Ming is, tell them!" ”
"Shut up" Old Wu Tou slapped his son in the face, and suddenly everyone in the room was stunned, thinking, what's the matter, does Old Wu Tou really know the Xuanyin Palace? It seems that Old Wu Tou definitely has the information we want to know. Old Wu Tou turned around and raised his head and said to me, "Come on, I really don't know." Call the police! ”
Seeing that Lao Wu Tou was not afraid of death, I had no choice at this time, what should I do now, Lao Wu Tou refused to cooperate, just when I was at a loss for this, Ah Ning whispered to me in my ear: "Let Yang Zhi give his son some blood." ”
I immediately understood A-Ning's words, I looked at Yang Zhi, and then pointed at Qiangzi and made a gesture to wipe his neck, Yang Zhi nodded, and pulled out the Tang knife and put it on Qiangzi's neck.
Qiangzi cried when he saw Yang Zhi's knife, and shouted while crying: "Master, it's just me!" ”
Old Wu Tou was also stunned by the scene in front of him, his eyes widened, but he didn't know what to say.
I stepped forward and patted Lao Wu Tou on the shoulder and said to him: "Old Wu Tou, you think we are good citizens, if you don't cooperate today, then I'm sorry, it seems that you are going to use the tomb you dug today." ”
After listening to my words, Lao Wu lowered his head that was still held high just now, his legs kept shaking, and he muttered to us with his head down: "I said, I said." ”
