The truth is often completely different from what you originally thought, there is no gold all over the ground, and there are no fish all over the ground, and the first time we see such a picture, it is beyond our heart's ability to bear.

White bones, countless white bones, broke when stepped on, dense bones mixed with animal corpses. People have a natural fear of death, and white bones are the equivalent of death, and I don't want to stay for a moment.

"Let's go." I tugged at the corner of Cha Wenbin's clothes and kept saying, "Let's go, let's go." ”

The fat man picked up a thigh bone or a calf bone on the ground, and kept rummaging through the piles of bones, muttering, "Why is there no gold, it doesn't make sense." ”

Cha Wenbin just held his headlamp and kept shining around, as if he was looking for something, and the fat man seemed to have found something, which was a lump of iron wrapped in rusty water.

"Damn, it turned out to be a broken hoe after all the hard work, and I didn't even get a diesel money. Cha Ye, your gold was really picked up from under the pool, didn't you fool us? ”

"Hoe?" Cha Wenbin hesitated for a moment, and then said something that we couldn't understand: "Well, that's right." ”

"By the way?" The fat man was not happy: "Let's go down and find a hoe?" ”

Cha Wenbin patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Go up, you have to deal with it again here." ”

"What do you mean?"

Cha Wenbin didn't explain, but said: "Let's go back first, this pond is of little use to us." Xiao Yi, let's go, the fat man is willing to stay here, so let him stay there. ”

As soon as I heard this, I grabbed the rope and climbed up, and the devil was happy to stay here, for I had come to find gold, not to see the bones of the dead. Where to use Cha Wenbin Cui, the speed of climbing up is much faster than going down, using both hands and feet, the ladder that he provoked was dangling, and he was unstable several times and almost fell.

The fat man yelled below: "Slow down, be steady, damn, I'm going to be shaken down by you!" ”

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, the soft rope ladder was not stable, the fat man tried a few times and couldn't catch it, this kid also wanted to tease me, he simply didn't climb, stood below and grabbed the rope with both hands and pulled it to the left. This guy shook me like a swing and flashed to the side and almost didn't fall down, the fat man didn't stop there, he probably was a little addicted to playing, he pulled the rope and ran to the right, and I was dragged over there again.

"Fatty, I'll be an immortal!" I could only scold so loudly from above, and there was nothing else I could do, and I clung to the ropes on both sides like a grasshopper, trying to make sure that I didn't let go. But the more I scolded, the more happy the fat man shook underneath, and just the last time he shook the most, my eyes seemed to see a big black hole in the wall.

"Stop! Stop it! I shouted, the fat man continued, and I was also anxious: "If you shake Lao Tzu again, you will jump!" ”

It's better to Cha Wenbin, I heard him say to the fat man: "Okay, okay, stop playing, wait for the real game to have an accident." ”

The fat man probably had a heart, and said to the poor mouth: "It's okay, it's a little too high, even if he falls, I can catch it." ”

I really convinced the fat man, and before he could shake it, I put one hand on the hole, and my body flashed into it, and I thought to myself that it would be better to stay here for a while than to really me.

After the fat man finished talking to Cha Wenbin, he looked up and saw that there was still my shadow on the rope, there was nothing left, and now he was really panicked, and he looked for it all over the ground.

"Hey, where's Xiao Yi?"

I shook my headlamp downwards and said, "Hey, I'm here." ”

Cha Wenbin looked up and asked me, "Why did you run there?" ”

"There's a hole." I didn't forget to look back and say, "It's very deep, I can't see it to the end!" ”

Cha Wenbin glanced at the height and said to the fat man: "Don't make trouble, fat man, you stabilize this angle, I'll go up and take a look." ”

The fat man was a little unhappy: "Then what should I do?" ”

"You wait for us below, or after a while, the ladder will be moved again, and we won't have no place to come down."

The hole was wide enough to barely accommodate two half-squatting people, and the walls of the hole had obvious traces of artificial excavation, and I felt a little chilly in my back, as if a gust of wind was blowing out.

We took a few steps into it with courage, the cave was spiraling and gradually going up, Cha Wenbin stretched out his tongue and gently probed and said, "There is corpse qi, very heavy." ”

"What?"

Cha Wenbin pulled me and ran out, saying as he walked, "Let's go, it's not clean here." ”

I don't understand why he said that, but I remember the incident when I was a child, and he clearly predicted my grandfather's death. He followed us

It's a little different, the way you speak, the way you look at people, it's always so incomprehensible.

Back on the ground, the fat man also told Yuan Xiaobai about today's events, Xiaobai was shocked when he heard it, there are so many bones, not to mention hundreds of people, this is a big event in the era, we hesitate to report to the village tomorrow. In the end, Cha Wenbin decided not to say anything, his reason was that, in his opinion, it was a burial pit.

"Today we are very unlucky to choose a burial pit, those bones are used for burial, as long as we find the real burial pit, the gold below is definitely not a problem."

"What do you mean?"

Cha Wenbin continued: "On the first day, I suspected that this was not a pond at all, and those stones originally had traces of artificial carving, and it was impossible to dig such a large project to dig the pond. I always felt that these eighteen ponds were connected, and I don't know what the purpose was, but one thing is for sure, the place we went to today was a burial pit. ”

A girl's heart always has to be softer, Yuan Xiaobai frowned and asked, "Accompany the funeral?" ”

The fat man nodded and said: "I have carefully looked at those bones, they are basically broken in the position of the cervical vertebrae, and the fracture is very flat, which is in line with the logic of beheading, Wen Bin should not be bad at guessing." ”

Cha Wenbin continued: "Xiao Yi, the place you found today is very dangerous, Ming'er, you and Xiao Bai go to the village to take a look, find some people who have lived here since childhood, and inquire, is there anything to say here." Then he said to the fat man: "General Shi Ming'er will go to climb the mountain with me." ”

"Climbing a mountain?"

I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, he said that if he doesn't explain, there will definitely be no follow-up, and everything can only wait until tomorrow.

We met at noon the next day, and as soon as the fat man came in, he panted and said, "There is a great discovery!" Xiao Yi, I really convinced Cha Ye, he can think of this, guess what we saw? ”

"We also have some news, you tell me first."

"I really don't know the true face of Lushan, just because I am in this mountain, Cha Ye and I climbed to the top of the opposite mountain, we looked down, the whole village swept the bottom of the eye, those ponds connected together turned out to be a pattern of human faces!" The fat man took a sip of the water handed over by Xiaobai, wiped his mouth and said, "You don't know, the first sip of the pond we smoked happened to be one eye, and the other day it was a little above the bridge of the nose. ”

Cha Wenbin interrupted him, and I asked me instead, "It's not a coincidence, it's artificial." Xiaoyi, what about you, what did you find? ”

"The oldest one in our tunzi is Uncle Qiu in the east of the village, he is eighty-seven years old this year, and when Xiaobai and I went, I was not taken care of at first, I heard that he didn't like to deal with anyone in this tunzi, and he was almost like a widow and a lonely widow. Later, when we were about to leave, Xiaobai asked me in the yard when I planned to draw the third pond, but I didn't expect the uncle to rush out of the house with a cane and shout at us: You guys are going to pump the pond? ”

Yuan Xiaobai took my words and said: "At that time, I was frightened, Uncle Qiu's eyes stared at me straight, as if he wanted to kill someone, I quickly explained that in order to irrigate and pump water on the spot, I didn't expect the uncle to ask us if we found anything in the water, do you think it's strange?" ”

The fat man asked, "You told him you found gold?" ”

"No, I just said nothing, I didn't even see any fish, and then he blew us out in impatience. I looked at his expression as if he was very concerned about what we had found, and I inquired with the people in the village, most of the people here were family members of the lumberjacks who came one after another, but that Uncle Qiu heard that he had lived in Savage Tun for generations. This is what Uncle Miao said, but he also said that the old man has a very strange personality and usually doesn't interact with people in the tunzi. I heard that he used to have a daughter, but then he died somehow, and he was left alone, and he was taken care of in the tunzi, not letting him go to the field, and receiving the work. ”

Cha Wenbin thought for a while and said, "Let's eat first, and take me to meet the uncle after eating." ”

Uncle Qiu's house is two bungalows, he is indeed different from the others in the tunzi, his home is not in the tunzi, but on the periphery. The yard is fenced, there are two cedars at the door, I tried it with the fat man, and the two of us just hugged each other, just like the door god left and right.

Pushing open the courtyard door, there was a black cat with a big belly in the clearing, and the black cat glanced at us, and then turned around and ran back to the house.

The fat man quipped: "Look at whether a person is good or not, you just look at what his domestic animals are, such a thief old cat must be raised by a thief, so unhospitable, and not welcome." ”

As soon as the fat man's words fell, I heard an old man's voice in the house scolding: "Where did a group of scoundrels come from in my house to spread wild, get out of here!" ”
