"There's something wrong with that thin dog." The fat man said: "His eyes are dodgy, I guess if someone asked him to buy those stones, is that thing suitable for the yard?" "It's not that there are no such people in the countryside, this kind of stone is really rare, and in that era, projects were everywhere, and this is the money when it is pulled to the city.

"If that's the case, it's easier." Cha Wenbin said: "If you earn a little money, go with him, I'm afraid that he will find something that shouldn't be found and hide, he doesn't say that there is no one at home, wait for noon to find a time to touch his house and take a look." ”

The fat man grinned and said, "Cha Ye, you will do this kind of thing now, you were going to scold me in the past." ”

"This time and that time." Cha Wenbin said: "I was in the meditation before the accident, and I vaguely saw a man sitting there painting a portrait of a woman, and I was disturbed by them when I was about to take a closer look. You may not believe in this thing, but in fact it is a kind of prompt, and what you see is often some fragments and clues, which need to be deduced and pieced together by yourself, which is what we call the process of enlightenment. Since I saw it, but it was demolished at this time, I think this thing is a bit coincidental and unreasonable. ”

"Hu Fei'er doesn't say what kind of god that woman is," the fat man said: "The god is not an Oriental thing, don't say that there was an old devil who ran into this ravine hundreds of years ago to get a god, and he was ready to pit you hundreds of years later, which is too." ”

Cha Wenbin said: "The problem is here, she said that it was Shishen, and then another fire was burned, and now there is no proof of death." "He is very chaotic now, and he is afraid that those unprovoked things will affect his family, so he must complete the investigation of some things independently without interference.

The fine dog's house is in the middle of the village, the geographical location is excellent, the ancestors will choose the land, I heard that the land was the first of my ancestors also fancied, but the old man said that the place is not very rich, so he changed to another place. After the Chinese New Year, most of the houses in Hongcun have been replaced, and two-story small buildings abound, and the fine dog family is still nested in that old house. It's not that the fine dog doesn't work hard, it's that no matter how hard he tries, the fine dog's father is a good gambler, and this bad problem has been inherited to the fine dog, and his son has not missed it, and most of the money earned is given to others.

Moreover, the son of the fine dog wants to marry his daughter-in-law, and said that the matchmaker came to take a look, your house is sunny and windy, rainy, watered, and the yard can raise fish in the potholes, so this matter has been delayed again and again, and the son is thirty years old, which was considered a bachelor in Hongcun at that time.

Because of the good location and the large number of people coming and going, Cha Wenbin and the fat man wandered around there for a long time, and indeed they never saw the door opened. At noon, the thin dog and his brothers went to the opposite side together, which was his third family, and the fat man muttered that this old thing really didn't tell a lie, and he probably couldn't change his words when he said it, because he heard the third daughter-in-law very surprised, saying that he didn't even prepare the dishes, and scolded him for being unreliable.

"It's okay, the rice hasn't been burned, it's enough time for us to touch it." At this point, most people are eating, and when they look at this stall, the fat man runs up to the earthen wall, and Cha Wenbin follows in. As soon as I settled down, there were several large stone slabs in the courtyard, and in front was a three-bay bungalow, with an empty house piled up with waste on the left, and a latrine and pigsty on the right. The yard was filled with the smell of pig dung, and the fat man choked and said, "It's a shame that I didn't come here to eat at noon, or I'll have to vomit, and the fuck can live in this place!" ”

The door was locked, the main house had only the main door and the second door, and the glass on the windows was gone, replaced by a layer of plastic film, and the inside could not be seen. But this old-fashioned lock fat man only kicked it with a wire twice before it opened, and as soon as the main entrance entered, a puff of ash burst out, and in the center was a table, and in the middle was a shrine with a portrait of the old ancestor hanging on it. There is a door on the left and right, all of which are locked, and there are some auspicious pictures pasted on the door, and there seems to be no problem with the arrangement inside, but Cha Wenbin smells a special smell.

"It smells of incense here." Cha Wenbin said: "But it's not from the incense burner on this shrine, the incense ash here is already black, which means that it hasn't been lit here for a long time, and it stands to reason that it can't have such an obvious smell." ”

The fat man naturally can't smell it, it's no wonder that Cha Wenbin has been dealing with candles and incense all the year round, so he is naturally sensitive, he sniffed everywhere with his nose, and found something wrong in the house on the left.

"Here, it came out of here, it stands to reason that there are people here, how can you light incense!" Cha Wenbin found out the clue and was ready to let the fat man pick the lock, but at this moment there was a movement outside the house, and as soon as the two heard that this was not good, they quickly flashed to the fan wall behind the shrine to hide.

The wall was made of wood, and there were large cracks between the woods for a long time, so that people and cats could see the outside from inside. I saw that the little dog panicked and unlocked the house and rushed straight to the room on the left, he stayed in it for five or six minutes and then came out again, this time even the fat man smelled a smell of incense.

The dog did not stay in the house for long, but made a rough round and closed the door, and in a short time the door of the yard was closed. The two of them came out one after another when they felt safe, and the fat man immediately went to pick the lock, and the skill he learned from Rong Ping was used at the critical time. With a slight hook, the lock spring inside "clicked", and the wooden door opened with a "squeak"!

What's in the house? A bed with a quilt that hadn't even had time to fold, a few old boxes, but the room was a little choking, smoky, and there was a bowl at the back of the bed. Inside the bowl is raw rice, and three cigarettes are lit there, if it weren't for the daytime, people would be a little hairy in their hearts. The two walked over and took a look, there was a long box in front of the bowl, and there were still mud blocks on the box that had not yet had time to be cleaned out. ”

There is a padlock on the top of the box, the lock style is very strange, it is a ghost head biting a ring, gently flicking the mouth of the ghost head can open and close, just two fangs put on the ring to lock the box. There is a small hole in the middle of the ghost head, that is, between the eyebrows, the key should be inserted here, the fat man thought that this matter was completely difficult for himself, but after trying for a while, he gave up and said: "Cha Ye, I dare to pack this thing is not his thin dog's, this lock has a rather large doorway!" ”

Rong Ping once handed over the fat man to open many kinds of locks, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, but Rong Ping said that he also has several kinds of locks that cannot be opened, one of which is this kind of bite lock, also known as ghost lock. From the design point of view, this kind of lock is completely a work of art, and the upper and lower structure of the lock is very ingenious, which was invented by the master craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. The most powerful thing is that if you don't have the right matching key to go in and turn around, it will trigger the mechanism inside, so that there is a real key to come again, and this lock still can't be opened, it is a lock with a self-destruct device.

"If you want me to say, or we can carry this box back, anyway, the source of his things is unknown."

"Don't startle the snake first," Cha Wenbin said: "Now in the middle of the day, if someone bumps into the two of us, I can't tell clearly, so I can go to the Jiwang Temple in the afternoon, aren't they lifting those stone slabs, by the way, see if there are any other discoveries, so as to stabilize others." ”

After eating, the thin dog didn't come back, and it was estimated that no one would worry about his broken family, the fat man and Cha Wenbin shook it on time, on the grounds that there had been an accident here before, and they asked Cha Wenbin to come here to dissipate bad luck, of course, it was brought by Xia Laoliu himself.

The fine dog was still polite when he saw the sixth child, and he stopped work and came over to smoke and said: "Sixth brother, you see, this is almost demolished, it's just weird, this Lang Lang Qiankun has been exposed to the sun all day, if you want me to say anything, the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have to go to see Marx, you say yes?" ”

"You still know Marx!" The fat man smiled: "I told you Uncle Dog, the things you dig back are not considered waste, this temple is from the Ming Dynasty, and this floor tile is a cultural relic of the Ming Dynasty. ”

The thin dog's face changed, and then he smiled a little reluctantly: "This big nephew, you can laugh, I am kind enough to do this coolie for the village, and return the cultural relics, isn't it just a few broken stones." ”

"I'm joking with you." The fat man continued: "There is usually something buried under this old house, Uncle Dog, you have to move it carefully, so as not to smash the treasure below for me, come, let me take a look." After that, the fat man wanted to go to the temple foundation, but before the front foot approached, the back foot "clanged", and a large stone slab almost wasted the fat man's instep.

"What are you doing!" The fat man's temper turned his face when he said it, his eyes glared, and the thin dog panicked, and quickly explained: "The hand slipped and didn't lift it, so don't follow here to watch the excitement, I can't afford to hit you for a while." ”

The fat man didn't continue to give him a smile, and continued with a dark face: "This is your land, right, I'm still playing here today, what can you do with me?" The fat man is worried that he can't find a chance to find fault, only if he messes them up will he have a chance, the few on the opposite side are all brothers, and they are all locals, where can the five big and three rough croppers let you a foreign kid rampant, and immediately the third of their family was not happy, and shouted bare-chested: "My family's land, what's the matter!" ”
