Chapter 5 Into the Cave

Others don't know, Lao Liu Tou understands the words of the fortune teller in his heart, and he said that there are "living dead ghosts" in the mountains, which are the people who his grandfather buried in the ancient tomb. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info When Liu Er came back with the bandits to seek revenge on the big landlord, the villagers here had already run out. Liu Er asked people to dig up the tombs in the ancient mountains and bury people very secretly, few people knew what was going on, at that time it was just rumored that the people of the big landlord's family were kidnapped by bandits and buried alive.

Besides, since Liu Er disappeared in the big landlord's house, the villagers thought that he had stolen money and ran away, who would have thought that he was put into the coffin by the big landlord, let alone that he was rescued by tomb robbers on the night he was buried in the coffin, how could they dare to stay, and they ran away without a trace overnight.

What's even more unexpected is that Liu Er, who used to work in the big landlord's house, became a bandit leader. When Liu Er attacked the big landlord's house, the villagers ran away, and when they came back, Liu Er had already returned to Henan. After a few strokes, almost no one knew about the burial of people in the ancient tombs in the ancient mountains.

Old Liu Tou secretly admired the fortune teller and began to be afraid.

He thought that if he dug up the Han tomb in order to find the night pearl, and all the "living dead ghosts" in it ran out, he would cause trouble for the villagers, so he no longer thought about digging this Han tomb.

Of course, he doesn't dig it himself, and he can't let others dig it.

At that time, double-barreled shotguns could still be bought on the black market, and in order to protect the Han tomb from being stolen and excavated, Lao Liu Tou actually bought five double-barreled shotguns and nearly 1,000 rounds of scattered ammunition. Later, when the Public Security Bureau investigated the double-barreled shotgun, Lao Liu Tou only handed over one, and now there are four more at home.

A trend of tomb robberies began in the late 70s of the last century, and in the 80s, it was already very powerful, and some tomb robbers even let go of museums. By the 90s, the tomb robbers had become an organized crime gang, and they had a clear division of labor, and the smuggling and sales were one-stop, and the artifacts dug up at night could be transported overseas the next night, which was a greater threat to the ancient tombs.

Of course, the tomb robbers will not let go of the Han tomb in the ancient mountains, and Lao Liu Tou has no choice but to carry two guns on his body, and when he sees the tomb robbers, he will release guns to scare. One year during the Spring Festival, when the cannons were fired on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he heard a muffled sound coming from the back mountain, and he quickly carried four shotguns to the back mountain. Sure enough, there was a group of tomb robbers on the back hill who blew up the tomb with explosives, and because they gave too much medicine, there was an accident, and two people were injured by stones, and someone was carrying these two people to the car.

Lao Liu Tou was very angry, he was worthy of being the descendant of the bandit Liu Er, he stopped his bicycle and raised his gun to shoot.

Four shotguns, eight scattered bullets in a row, more than a dozen tomb robbers were stunned, there were sporadic firecrackers in the distant villages, and the mountains were full of firelight, deafening, iron sand flew all over the sky, more than a dozen tomb robbers were scared on the spot, beckoning to climb into the car and run. Lao Liu Tou was still unsatisfied, got into a scattered bullet, and fired eight shots at the back of the car, and the three cars had already disappeared.

Old Liu Tou went to the hillside and looked, and it had become a pit, that is, the pit where we dug a thief hole inside.

Later, it was said on the road that in order to dig the tomb here in Gushan, the two groups had a fight, and even small steel cannons were used, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, and more than a dozen corpses were carried away. Although it was a false rumor, it was true that few people came to dig graves in the back mountain later. Of course, except for us who are not afraid of tigers when we are newborn calves.

It also happened that we came yesterday, and Lao Liu Tou went to his daughter's house to see his granddaughter, and he didn't come back until the evening. When he arrived in the village, he heard from the old man that a few people had come here to ask about Liu Er, but the old Liu Tou hadn't woken up yet, so he didn't care and went home to sleep. When he woke up at night, he always felt that something was wrong, so he went to the mountains with a gun and took a look, and then he found us......

After Lao Liu Tou finished talking about it, we learned why he had a few pages in his diary, and how Lao Liu Tou found us digging graves on the mountain. Everything seems to be accidental, but in fact there are inextricable links in it, if in Buddhist terms, "there is a cause and there must be an effect", in philosophical terms, it is "the inevitability in chance", and in the classical story, it is "Seon lost his horse and knows whether he is blessed".

But now that we think about it, we are still afraid that the descendants of this bandit would dare to carry a four-rod shotgun and a tomb robbery gang, if it weren't for the diary, we really wouldn't dare to think about it......

Wang Changxing asked Lao Liu: "Master Liu, since you are protecting this ancient tomb from being dug by others, we have now found the tomb door, is it possible for us to bury it again?" ”

Old Liu didn't squeak, Zhang Yuan continued: "Master Liu, I look at that, don't look at this tomb, we have dug up to the door, you can also go in and have a look, find the night pearl, let's divide it equally, you also have the wish of your ancestors, right?" ”

Lao Liu Tou was still silent, and Lao Cai then said: "Lao Liu, you see that you are so old, how many years can you live, you can't look at this Han tomb forever, right?" As for ghosts....... Cut, that's all a fortune teller deceiving people, he just coaxed you for money, you really believe it, you deserve to be deceived. If you want to say that people who have died in the mountains are haunted, our ground, that is, the whole earth, how many people have died since ancient times? What about the people of the entire Ming Dynasty? What about the people of the Qing Dynasty? Aren't we living in a den of ghosts? Hmph, if I had met that fortune teller earlier, I would have beaten him up as a little turtle grandson. ”

Lao Cai's words made us laugh, and I understood that the three of them persuaded the old man to pull Lao Liu into the water so that he could get the Night Pearl and other artifacts. Old Liu Tou was still silent, looking very entangled.

I said, "Uncle Liu, have you heard of Dayu's water control?" What he advocates is dredging, not blocking, that is, letting the water flow naturally. I feel that you are blocking the Han Tomb by protecting it, and you are afraid that the living dead ghosts inside will come out and harm people, so you are desperate to prevent others from digging this Han Tomb, just to block these living dead ghosts inside. Lao Cai is right, you can't live forever, this tomb will have to be dug up sooner or later, either the tomb robbers or the archaeological team, if it is really like the fortune teller said, the living dead ghosts should come out to harm people. Besides, there are legends of ghosts in this world, but who has really seen them? Or grab one and put it in a cage for everyone to buy a ticket to watch, no! So, I think you might as well dig up the Han tomb with us, you bring paper money, incense and candles to the Han tomb to worship those innocent souls, like the big landlord who harmed your ancestors, we pull out his bones and crush the bones and scatter ashes, and he will become a ghost. The diary says that the big landlord may have eaten the pearl of the night with a golden thread in his stomach, and we can find his bones. All in all, when we go to the Han Tomb, there is revenge, there is resentment and resentment, you have taken care of things for your ancestors, even if it cannot be completely resolved, it can alleviate some sins for your ancestors, and the souls inside will eventually be comforted, this is .......what I said."

Old Liu Tou looked at us, raised his head and took a sip of wine, and nodded......

Lao Liu nodded, and a stone in our hearts fell. The reason why we tried so hard to persuade the old man to dig the grave with us was just to clear the obstacles, otherwise it would be difficult for us to start.

Besides, look at this old Liu Tou's rustic dress, although he is a descendant of Liu Er, he is the master who dares to shoot people with guns, but he is not like a person in the rivers and lakes, that is, a master of tomb robbers in our eyes, we don't need him to help, when the time comes, we can get the night pearl and sell him a share, but he has to give us the paper torn off the pages of the diary, so that we can find more tombs.

It's easy to get the Night Pearl, we have found the tomb door, and when the time comes, we will push it open and enter the ancient tomb and take the Night Pearl out. Although it is said that the mountains are haunted, Lao Liu Tou still has a shotgun, can the ghost not be afraid of a shotgun? Kill his little turtle grandson.

Oh, Lao Liu's head really weighs a thousand pounds at this time, and with a little bit of him, the four of us are about to live the life of a rich man, and I want to laugh when I think about it.

But after Lao Liu nodded, he stopped talking, just drank vigorously, and his face was very solemn. I glanced at him and felt a bad omen in my heart.

The sky was bright, and we stayed at Lao Liutou's house after we were full of food and drink......

We slept until 11 o'clock at noon, and I was dizzy. Lao Liu Tou has already come back from going out to the market, and he has washed all the clothes we changed last night, and we feel very embarrassed.

We looked at the things that Lao Liu Tou bought, and he really bought a lot of incense, candles, and paper money, as well as a few pairs of rubber shoes, batteries, small blowers, and a huge rooster, and other meat and vegetables have been taken to the kitchen.

Lao Cai was so happy when he saw the rooster that he was about to kill the spicy chicken with a kitchen knife, but Lao Liu stopped him and said that this was a rooster who worshiped the tomb, and he couldn't move. The chicken is boiling in the pot, and it will be ready to eat in a while.

After eating lunch, we came to the spirit, we charged everything that should be charged, installed all the tools, and then played mahjong at Lao Liutou's house. We also called home and said that we were going to another city to attend an antique exchange and that it would take a week to come back. The reason why we reported to our family for so long was that we were going to go directly to Beijing to find the auction after we got the Night Pearl, and when we came back, we were afraid that we would already have a lot of money.

Finally, in the evening, we took the guy to the ancient mountain again.

Although it was only a day away from last night, I felt like I was in the mountains at this time. Originally, we didn't know much about Gushan, but after listening to Lao Liu Tou talk about the history of Gushan and all kinds of rumors, I felt a little hairy in my heart, and it was not as relaxed as last night.

Everyone didn't talk much, silently put on hard hats, headlamps, changed into rubber shoes, and prepared to enter the tomb. Wang Changxing and I entered the robbery cave and pushed the tomb door open, Lao Cai connected the blower outside to blow the wind inside, and we waited in the pit.

About forty minutes later, Lao Liu Tou put the rooster at the entrance of the robbery hole, the rooster lay on his stomach and did not move, Lao Liu Tou hit it with a stone, and the rooster ran quickly to the Han tomb. We listened carefully at the entrance of the cave, and there was no sound of roosters struggling in the Han tomb, so we took our tools and went into the cave......
