At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the people, the world was in constant turmoil, the princes of all walks of life were divided, and the land of China was already full of devastation. In troubled times, naturally there are people coming in chaos, and this wave of people with Uncle Qiu is not small, the leader is a Sichuan person, surnamed Qian, named Wuyu, nicknamed: Groundhog, and he is also called Qian Rat Ye on the rivers and lakes.

This man was born with a sick body, coughing all day, his face was pale, he was weak, and he was only willing to walk twenty miles a day to rest. There must be blood in the cough and phlegm every morning, which is said to be the root of the disease that fell from the corpse poison in the early years, and the residual poison has not disappeared.

Qian Rat Ye has a unique secret technique, that is, punching holes. Although he seems to be weak, the soil is ten meters deep, and it only takes one night to see the bottom, and one person can see the square. This hole seems to others to be entered, but in fact it can be entered but not out, quite like a yellow leather card pocket in the past. If an ordinary person goes in and wants to come out again, his arms will be stuck, he can't move up and down, and he will be suffocated to death, and only he can get in and out, because this person also has a body of bone shrinking skills, which can be big and small, and the dog hole can be drilled.

Of course, the Sichuan Qian family is also well-known in the rivers and lakes, the land of Bashu, rich since ancient times, the Qian family and Qingcheng are good friends, and there are some unknown spells, there are many protégés, and it is a very strong force in the local area.

This Uncle Qiu was just a ten-year-old wanderer that year, and he also had a good kung fu in order to make a living, that is, stealing!

Stealing and stealing, that day I saw a caravan in a small town, four or five tall horses, and the riders looked like rich men at first glance, with satin and black cloth shoes spotless. Uncle Qiu's nest wandered outside an inn for a few days looking for other people's leftover food to satisfy his hunger, this town is quite remote, and it is rare for such a large group of people to pass by, so he has the idea of starting.

In the middle of the night, Uncle Qiu, who had been squatting downstairs for most of the night, estimated that the lights in the room had been extinguished for an hour, thinking that those people should be asleep. The second-story room was just a piece of cake for him, and he climbed up with a sigh of hum.

At that time, the windows were all wooden windows that opened outward, and there was a tenon inside, and the tenon window could only be opened from the inside. But the weather was really hot in those days, and the people who came to stay did not have any windows, but opened half of the door to leave a gap.

Uncle Qiu was young, light and thin at that time, and he turned over and got in. He has three skills: one is to walk without making a sound, the second is to be able to pick up soap in the oil pan with his hand, and the third is to be able to see things clearly in the dark night when he can't see his fingers. With these few things, in those years, an orphan was barely able to survive, and it was precisely because of these skills that he was accepted by the money rat master.

After only two steps, Uncle Qiu heard a bell ringing in the house, and when he looked down, there was a thin line on the ground horizontally, and there was a bell on the line. Knowing that he had stolen the wrong person tonight, he turned around and wanted to leave, but his back was already buckled, and his shoulder blades hurt so much that they were about to crack.

Hearing the movement, four or five big men rushed in outside the house, holding sixteen box cannons in their hands, but instead of beating and scolding him, the man who detained him asked the cook in the store to serve him a table of food.

It turned out that the house lived in the Qian Rat Master, and the reason why he left Uncle Qiu, who was caught as a thief, was only because he said that he had never been so close to someone, and if he was a capable enemy, he was afraid that he would have already explained it here.

In this way, Uncle Qiu followed Master Qian Rat, at first he was just an entourage, and he did not assign specific work, and followed those people everywhere every day. These people rarely take the official road, and they pick the ridge to rush at night, as if they are hiding from someone. Three years later, Uncle Qiu has become a young man, and their group has also come to the current Savage Tun.

According to Uncle Qiu, when he first came, there were four or five families in this tun, and some of the pots were still steaming, but he couldn't find a single living person as far as the eye could see, and he didn't suspect it at first.

In his hand, he had a piece of parchment, half the size of a table, like a map. Uncle Qiu has never studied, and if he is illiterate, he naturally can't read, he only knows that Qian Rat often points to a red dot on the map and says, "This is it!" He remembered that those same red dots were still four more on the map.

When they arrived at Savage Tun, those people picked a place to live, and during the day, Qian Rat Ye took people around the village, and at night he kept comparing them with astrolabes in his hands in the courtyard. Uncle Qiu was in charge of cooking and laundry for this group of people, and he found that there were blood stains on two of the gowns, and he knew in his heart that the people in this tun were afraid that they had already been poisoned.

At that time, no one could take care of anyone, and it was the king to survive, and half a month later, the money rat finally locked his eyes on the eighteen ponds. One of the men of Qian Rat Ye is good at water, and he himself is a landlubber, and several pigs in the tunzi were slaughtered by them at that time, and the urine bubbles on the pigs were taken out.

The pig's urine bubble was like a balloon, and it was very strong when it was blown up, and this man carried three pig urine bubbles on his back, and he jumped into the pond with a big rock on his chest. Three pig urine bubbles were used for ventilation, which could make the man stay in the water for ten minutes, and after a few times he went up and down, he really asked him to find something out of the pond, two gold coins.

This time it can make those people happy, especially the Qian Rat Master, so he waved his hand, and the person who knew the water dived again, but this time he never came up again, and Uncle Qiu described it to us like this at that time:

"That person has very long hands, the palms are two as big as mine, the feet are also very big, the person is very strong, I heard that he is a Guangxi person. In the past, the ancestors lived by pearl hunting, but when they got to the water, the man was more flexible than a fish, and Hula suddenly disappeared. We were all very excited at the time, and the money rat wiped the golden lump with his clothes for a while, and then put it in his mouth and bit it, and he specially instructed me to make a table of good wine and food at night.

Before the man went into the water, he said that it was dark underneath and he couldn't see it, it was all by feeling, and the water was also very deep, and he said that when he was going up, he felt something scratching him behind his back, and he showed us his back. ”

As he spoke, Uncle Qiu picked up his clothes, pointed to his back and gestured at us: "It's here, there are four or five blood marks, it feels like a human scratch." The man actually refused to go down, but he didn't know that the money rat took out a pistol and put it on his head and said that if he couldn't go on, he would kill him, and the man had no choice but to go down again. We stayed with the pond, and after twenty minutes a string of red blood slowly floated upward, and when it reached the surface of the water, it dispersed, and there was not even a bubble, and the man never came up again. ”

I was a little surprised to hear it, and I couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?" ”

"Later, there was no way, how could there be a pump in the mountains at that time, such a deep pool we couldn't go down, someone used ** to blow up a gap, the pool was full of stones, a hammer down can only leave a white spot. That night, the money rat master lost his temper, saying that after looking for so many years, he couldn't do it in vain, and now it was equivalent to guarding a treasure but he could only look at it but not take it, and they proposed to continue to go into the water tomorrow.

At that time, I was still a half-grown child, and when I was delivering food, I heard someone muttering my name, and that day the money rat called me to the table for the first time and gave me food. I'm not stupid, I guess they plan to force me into the water the next day, these people are used to killing people and setting fires, and they can't do anything, so I can only cope, and I drank a few sips of wine and pretended to be drunk.

I thought that I couldn't eat with this group of people back then, and now that I was going to kill me, I definitely couldn't stay long. After following the money rat for so many years, I know that he has a habit of setting up alarm lines in the house before going to bed. That night, I snuck into his house, and they only knew that I walked silently, but they didn't know that I could see clearly at night. I was going to steal some plates and leave overnight, but I didn't want to get only one of the two gold coins, so I hid in the mountains overnight.

Entering the mountain, I also fled all the way, if I was caught by them, it would definitely be a dead end, and I met a girl on the way I didn't want to escape. She said that it was the people in the tunzi who saw that the whole village was killed and shot. She was shot in the shoulder, and she escaped, and she had been hiding in this mountain for days.

I saw that she was pitiful, and told the truth that her relatives should have been killed by the money rat master, that girl is also a bloody person, I planned to take her with her but she refused, saying that she must take revenge. ”

When the fat man heard this, he also interjected: "That money rat is a brute, have you helped that girl?" ”

Uncle Qiu nodded and said: "Help, I didn't want to do it at that time, it was important to escape, but the girl told me that I couldn't get out of this mountain alone, and the lord of Qingqiu back then still had a Yin Spirit army on this mountain to guard, as long as someone moved the things in the tunzi, it would be impossible to get out alive." ”

Cha Wenbin asked, "You told her that you took the gold coins?" ”

"Yes, I didn't hide it from her, I said that I took it as a fare, and she said that as long as anyone who touched those treasures would not get out alive."

The fat man smiled: "You also believe this, bluff you, let a girl be blinded." ”

Uncle Qiu looked at the fat man and smiled and was not annoyed, and said to us: "At that time, I thought the same as you, I never believed in what the hell or god, but that girl made me have to believe it." ”

"And how did she convince you?"

"She took me to a place......"
