(This book reader exchange group: qq389980575, welcome everyone to join the discussion and exchange~)
On the way to Zhang Han's big tent, I inadvertently asked Meng Jiang: "Pu Weng, this old man is also quite godly, I think you guys are quite familiar, right?" ”
Meng Jiang nodded and said, "Well, we have known each other for a long time, probably...... It was five or six years ago. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"You mentioned it, you worked with him. But how old were you five or six years ago, how could you have any cooperation with him? Looking at his personality, it doesn't look like he will look at juniors in his eyes......" I said, and I couldn't help but think of the big burden I carried for him before, and I was ridiculed for being in poor health.
"Hehe, he just likes to joke, but he actually has a good heart." Meng Jiang said.
"It's definitely not just that people are good, but there must be real skills, otherwise you wouldn't have handed over such a big thing to him." I say.
"Yes, he will be able to do this!" Meng Jiang also made no secret of her trust in Park Weng.
"But I don't understand, you should have already planned to do this, if Pu Weng is not here, and Qin Qi is not here, how are you going to complete this puppet part? You're not going to tell me you're good at it, are you? I asked curiously.
Meng Jiang first shook his head and said, "I'm really not good at this...... then tilted his head and said with a smile: "But I know that Pu Weng will definitely be here!" ”
"Oh? Why? Although he seems to be hanging around all the time, who knows when he will leave? ”
"He won't leave this Lishan," Meng Jiang said with certainty, "because this is his home!" ”
"Is it his house? What do you mean? ”
Meng Jiang looked around and said, "The land we are stepping on now originally belonged to Pu Weng. If it weren't for this imperial mausoleum, he probably wouldn't have become so lonely and wandering around. ”
I was stunned for a moment, daring to love the eccentric, child-like Pu Weng was once a big landlord!
"In that case, he must be disgusted by this fortification! After all, it's a place to occupy his house! I sighed.
Meng Jiang lowered his head and said, "Indeed, I used to be very disgusted ......"
When I heard what she said, my curiosity sparked, and I asked, "How did you change?" ”
Seeing the question mark on my face, Meng Jiang pursed his lips and smiled: "It seems that I won't give up if I don't explain it to you clearly today." ”
I listened and laughed embarrassedly, but nodded slightly.
So, Meng Jiang told me what happened five or six years ago, in the autumn of that year.
In due course, the Imperial Mausoleum has been under construction for several years, but the progress is quite slow, due to the frequent occurrence of unexpected troubles.
For example, at that time, the cart transporting materials in the fortifications often broke down, and from time to time it would suddenly get stuck, unable to move, and paralyzed in the middle of the road. Even if someone fixes it, within a few days, it will still relapse.
Another example is the scaffolding in the construction site, which was still in normal use the first day, but the next day it was actually scattered under a touch, so I had to take time to rebuild.
At first, it was all such incidents, and the foreman thought that it was a worker who wanted to be lazy, but under strict investigation, he did not find anyone suspected of doing so. But it's hard to believe that this is the case.
Finally, one day, someone discovered the problem while patrolling in the middle of the night.
It was a full moon day that night, and the moonlight was nice. A guard was on a routine patrol alone, and suddenly there was an internal emergency, and there was no one to supervise him anyway, so he simply found a quiet place to make it convenient.
I was relieved to solve the problem, and I was about to turn around and go back to continue walking, when I heard a rustling sound in the grass. After all, this place is very close to the mountains, forests and wilderness, and this person's first reaction is whether there is a snake in the grass, so he quickly took a few steps back, and picked up a wooden stick next to him, ready to deal with it.
But in the midst of the shaking of the grass and trees, a black thing slowly moved out. Although it is difficult to see because of the swaying shadows of the trees, it is definitely not a snake when you look at the shape.
The man crouched there motionless, staring at the black thing with wide eyes, but saw it emerge from the grass and calmly move along the path in the direction of the construction site. The gesture of the action, not climbing, not jumping, not walking, but so pure translation, looks like a phantom.
The man suddenly thought of the ghost, and the hand holding the wooden stick was sweating for a while, and he didn't dare to move a little, but just stared at it until the black shadow faded away and there was no abnormal phenomenon, so he was bold and followed with the cat's waist.
After following for a long time, they came to the area where the fortifications were under construction, and in the middle of a large pit, huge scaffolding stood up, and the white new wood glowed softly white in the moonlight.
The person who had been following him could see it clearly, and when the black shadow reached the edge of the big pit, it suddenly changed from small to large, swelling up like a blow, and instantly changed into a top-heavy, top-heavy form, and in the blink of an eye, the thing was crooked in place, and it was planted in the pit.
The guard was astonished, and hurried over to look down, only to see the black shadow floating in the air, slowly falling into the pit. He suddenly understood that the thing had just changed into such an umbrella-like form, precisely to slow down the fall, and the purpose was to jump into the pit! Look at that agile posture, like some kind of living creature, but what kind of living creature would have such ability?
At this point, of course, this man could no longer resist his curiosity, and immediately found a suitable gentle slope and slid to the bottom of the slope, still hiding in the dark and watching.
The following things made him a little confused. I saw that after the black shadow floated down, it returned to a small form, and then moved to the vicinity of the scaffolding, stopping in the east and stopping in the west, and went around in a big circle, and walked all over the shelves.
The guards are also a person with a bit of memory, and at that time they remembered the "accidents" that have been destroying the scaffolding that have been happening on the construction site recently, after all, they have also been ordered by the people above to pay attention to them when they patrol, and now there is such a strange thing, and they stay near the scaffolding, how can he not be suspicious?
Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but feel a little excited. He knew the importance of this matter, and if he found out the strangeness of this tonight, wouldn't it be equivalent to making a great contribution, maybe he would have the opportunity to be promoted to sergeant, and he wouldn't have to come to patrol in the middle of the night so miserably!
He couldn't help but secretly resolve that he must be patient and investigate this matter thoroughly, so he kept staring at the black shadow step by step, not daring to blink an eye.
The shadow spun for a moment, as if satisfied, and began to move slowly, towards the edge of the pit.
This man was a little strange at first, he could use a glider when he came down just now, but now he wants to go up, what are he going to do?
As soon as I thought of this section, I saw that the thing suddenly stretched out, and was divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts, and the middle was twisted with silk, as if something was connected. Then, the upper section began to fall down, slightly made a "boom" sound, the middle coil wire drove the lower half of the ground to rise, bounced forward quickly, the moment it touched the slope, it was a "boom" sound, the upper and lower sections changed positions again, which was equivalent to climbing up again, and so repeated, it actually climbed up the slope step by step!
The man watching from the sidelines opened his mouth wide in surprise: What is this? Not only can you fly, but you can also jump, and you can jump from the bottom up! Judging by that agile movement, it shouldn't take long to climb to the top!
This man didn't think much about it, and even climbed up with a rolling belt, he was a big living person, and with both hands and feet, he was not as fast as the little thing, and when he reached the top, the little black shadow had turned into the form of translation again, and calmly walked out of a large section!
At this time, it was in a large open space, and the two sides were not far away, and under the moonlight, this person finally saw the true face of the black shadow, which was actually a small wooden man! Fang Fang's head and square body, the small head seemed to have eyes, ears, mouth and nose painted on it, but it was partially covered by a hat-like thing on the top of the head.
But looking at the vitality of the action, if it weren't for the faint circles of wood on the head and body, this man couldn't believe that this thing was a dead thing!
Can wooden people move? Can wooden people be transformed? This man couldn't imagine it! It seems that this thing is far from being behind the scenes, a dead thing can move, it must be controlled by people, after all, you have to find the person behind it to know who is the initiator of the accident on the construction site!
The man continued to follow the wooden man with a twisted heart, until it returned to the grass where it had first seen him come out. There was a circle of walls on the edge of the wall, and on the other side of the wall was outside the camp, and when he came here, this man saw that the wooden man was quickly walking through the grass, for fear of losing his goal, so he quickly squatted down, and followed in, and did not climb a few steps, but he had reached the wall, and there was a small hole in the corner of the wall, and the wooden man had also disappeared, and apparently climbed out of the small hole!
The size of the cave did not allow one person to pass through, and the man was hesitating how to continue to follow, when suddenly he saw a flash of fire and a figure at the entrance of the cave, and there seemed to be someone moving with a torch outside.
The man fell to the ground, desperately pressed his face to the ground, and peeked out along the hole, only to see a man standing outside the wall, not very tall, dressed in an apricot-colored robe, wearing an apricot-colored hat, and his hair was protruding from the brim of the hat, making the facial features that had been hidden by the hat even more indistinct.
And at this time, he was holding a torch in one hand, and the one holding it in the other hand was the wooden man just now! He was still muttering something. The people inside the wall almost stuck their ears out of the hole before they could hear clearly.
He's saying, "...... Good boy, your mission for today is done. (To be continued.) )
