Chapter 108: The Ghost in the Tomb 1
Although we are doing some unrecognized professions, it does not mean that we will lose our conscience and morality for the sake of our profession
Three hours later, the sky finally dawned. The grey sky seems to reveal one thing to people, and that is that the rainy season is not far away.
Unfortunately, in the past, people might have been afraid of the rainy season in winter. Because of the arrival of the climate during this season, it also means that people will starve to death or freeze to death. But now that the conditions are good, I'll burn a fire to keep warm if you're cold. It's raining all the time, and I have plenty of food at home, and not going out to farm is enough for me to survive the winter.
Therefore, the people in the village gathered around the ghost house a hundred meters away early to stop and watch. After all, everyone knows that a group of people went inside to catch ghosts last night, so everyone wants to know what the result is, whether they have caught ghosts, or become ghosts' supper.
When we walked out of the house, we looked up and saw at least hundreds of villagers waiting for it. When we saw the figures of several of us appear, there was a commotion among the villagers.
"It's out! It's out!"
"Guess if they caught the ghost?"
"Judging by the momentum with which they walked, and their mental outlook, it seemed that they had not been hurt much! I guess they must have caught it!"
"If you say that you are stupid and you are not convinced, you say that they have not been hurt and their mental outlook is very good, so naturally they must not have spent too much energy. Therefore, it can be inferred from this that they did not catch the ghosts at all, or that there were no ghosts in them at all. ”
No matter what everyone said, the few of us still didn't say a word. It wasn't until we saw the old man's figure that we walked in his direction.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
"Alas! Since you went out last night, my heart has been pounding, and I'm really worried that something will happen to you. When the old man saw us, his worried face suddenly relaxed, and he continued: "Come! I would like to introduce you, this is the head of our village. He was not in the village yesterday and just came back this morning. I heard that you were sent by the town to catch ghosts, so I came here early to take a look. ”
The village chief is terrible! Could it be that our excuse has been debunked, but looking at the village chief in front of us, who is less than 1.6 meters tall and has always kept smiling at us, it doesn't seem like it. Because if we were really exposed, then the surrounding villagers would definitely not have that indifferent expression.
I stretched out my hand and shook the village chief, complimenting: "Heh, hello village chief, I have admired the name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really as the leader said, full of spirit, and the future was immeasurable!"
"Oh, the leader is so polite, I just did my part. Hehe! A few brothers have worked hard, why don't you go to my house to rest for a while, I don't know what a few people think."
Why do you think I said that, because at first glance at the village chief, I knew that he must be the kind of sesame petty official who is driven by interests and likes to be slapped on his ass. No, I just slapped him on the back a little, and he didn't know what his last name was! The main reason for this phenomenon is my hidden saying, the leader said that you have a bright future. As a walking officialdom, how could he not understand that meaning
"Since the village chief is so graciously invited, then we have to interrupt."
As a result, a group of villagers didn't see any excitement, only that a few people who caught ghosts were invited to their homes by the village chief. This time, they were even more convinced that we were really sent by the town's leaders. Didn't you see that the village chiefs were polite to those who caught ghosts, this is the best proof!
In fact, we went to the village chief's house and had breakfast, and after breakfast, we wiped our mouths and said goodbye to the village chief. Because our reason is very simple, that is, we didn't catch the ghost last night, and we have to continue to work hard.
During this period, the village chief also asked us why the town leader invited us to catch ghosts without informing him. In order not to be exposed, I rushed in front of everyone and replied, 'The leaders of the town don't want to be known about this matter. After all, they are the elite of the party and believe in modern science. If the people above know that the leaders of the town have asked us to catch the ghosts, once the responsibility is investigated, then no one involved in this matter will be able to escape. Hearing my answer, how dare the village chief ask anything. He left his house with us, and then volunteered to maintain order for us. In fact, it is to put pressure on the villagers to make all their mouths tighter.
It can be seen that the village chief is still very methodical. The villagers were soon persuaded by the village chief to leave to do their jobs. Only the old man and the village chief were left there, and a few other old people who seemed to be respected in the village.
Although I don't know what the village chief said to the villagers, I guess he should have persuaded the villagers with reason. Facts have proved that afterwards, the old man personally mentioned to us the words of the village chief to make the villagers tight-lip. That is, once we have successfully subdued the demons or spread the news that the demons have been subdued, then the town will come to develop their village. When the time comes, everyone will have a good life. Therefore, when they heard the news, why did they refuse to listen to the command of the village chief.
At that time, I listened to the old man's words, and directly praised these officials for their sincerity and not fuel-efficient lamps. It is no wonder that more than ten years later, batch after batch of harmful moths have appeared in the officialdom of China, and they have been cut down endlessly.
That's all for later. Let's take a look at what we did when we returned to the haunted house after eating and drinking enough from the village chief's house.
Since we had already greeted the village chief at his house, we would dig tunnels into the houses that would lead to the ghosts' lairs and subdue them. Therefore, even if we do not use the Luoyang shovel to excavate now, but choose to hire an excavator to excavate on the spot, I am afraid that the village chief and his villagers will not say a word.
Now that I think about it, this should be the plan in the village chief's mind. That is, whether we catch the ghost or not, he can completely discuss with us, give us some benefits, and let us go to the town to report that the ghost has been subdued, and everything in their village has returned to peace. Then the town will definitely re-pay attention to the history of their village and the surrounding environment, and develop their village. In this way, as the village head, he can make a lot of money.
"Hey! Shugui, you really can! Originally, I thought that we would be a shady profession to touch gold, but after this time, whoever the fuck said that in front of me, I would definitely go up and beat her up. ”
The wild bull waved the Luoyang shovel in his hand, and in front of him was a circular hole about one and a half meters in diameter. Each shovel landed on the dirt with great precision, and then a thick pile of dirt could be seen shoveled from the ground onto a mound of dirt about a meter high.
The thin man was on the opposite side of the bull, and the same movement as the bull did it, shoveling out the dirt from the pit that was already more than a meter deep. I only heard him sigh and say, "I agree with this!" In the past, we used to sleep during the day and work in the dark at night, but this time it was completely reversed. In other words, when I work during the day, it seems that my spirit and strength are much better. ”
"Of course, whether it's winter or summer, there will be frost and dew at night, and those things will not do people any good in the first place. The old people don't often say that people who have been beaten by frost and dew will feel very tired when they wear them. So in the same way, this is also the reason why we feel more energetic and energetic during the day than at night. Even if you recuperate enough during the day and sleep enough, it can't compare. ”
The mouse leaned back on a recliner, its eyes closed leisurely. The chaise longue on which he was lying was still a house that we surveyed more than a dozen houses. It was taken from a house with the loosest soil. Therefore, not only mice, but also a few of us who are idle have found stools or other tools that can allow people to sit, close our eyes to recuperate, or read books to increase knowledge.
Of course, it is naturally me who reads books to increase knowledge. There's no way, who asked the master not to teach me the secret art of yin and yang earlier, so watching "The Secret Art of Yin and Yang" temporarily is also forced to be helpless. If we can learn more knowledge from the book, we can ensure that after we enter Li Si's mausoleum, we will have more safety in case we encounter zongzi or ghosts.
In fact, digging tunnels is the most boring. Especially at the beginning, looking at the thick layers of soil, I didn't even have the heart to do it. Because you don't know how thick it is, and it's going to take a long time to dig it. Therefore, every one of them who uses the Luoyang shovel to touch the gold captain has a strong patience.
Seeing this, someone may spray me again. You said earlier that you were the coolest when you were digging the passage, why are you saying that it is the most boring now?
Actually, what I want to say is that the so-called boredom is that you dig a ten-meter deep pit, and there is still a thick layer of mud blocking it, and I don't believe you will not feel frustrated and suspicious of your actions at any time. And the so-called coolness is the feeling when you only need to move the shovel again, you can dig up the mud layer, and then look at those mausoleums with a lot of mystery and full of ancient atmosphere. There is really no conflict between the two.
And this is also a portrayal of my true mood this time. After the six of us digging day and night, a ten-meter-deep pit appeared in the compound of the house. As mentioned above, in the countryside at that time, many families liked to build an open-air yard.
With such a deep pit, we can no longer bend down to get the dirt out. Instead, we tie a rope around the person's waist, put it down and shovel the dirt, and then pile the dirt into a bamboo basket that we tie with rope. When the basket is full of dirt, they will say hello to the people above and ask them to pull the rope to pull the soil in the basket and pour it out, and then put the basket back into the pit.
Add in this day, and if you do the math, we've been here for nine days. During this period, they basically work during the day and rest at night. The food and accommodation are also in the old man's house, for this reason, we paid the uncle 1,000 yuan in cash, as the cost of living and food. Now that I think about it, if it weren't for the way I thought of it, I would have convinced the villagers that we had been sent by the town to catch ghosts. Instead, according to Brother Xiao's method, it was confirmed that Li Si's mausoleum was excavated from outside the village. So we've just dug up from outside the village to the village now!
