Chapter Seventy-Eight: Searching

The old man of the village sat cross-legged on the circle chair, muttering and picking at his feet.

"Uncle, why did Lord Gao leave his last words back then and order the descendants of the Gao family to live here for generations?" I asked.

"How do I know that?" The old man said.

I said in my heart, maybe, it has something to do with the 'river map', the so-called Gaojia village people guarding their ancestral graves, but in fact guarding the river map, could it be... My eyes lit up, could it be that the river map is in the ancestral tomb of the Gao family? In search of the skull, I went into the ancestral grave, and it was empty, there was nothing... Suddenly, something came to mind.

"Ah Leng..."Miss Bai called me softly, as if she had something to say to me.

I hurriedly waved my hand at her, closed my eyes, and tried to catch the thought in my mind... Graves... Empty graves... Funerary goods...

"That's right!"

I snapped my eyes open and slapped them on the thigh, startling everyone.

"I said you're a baby," said the village elder, frowning, "why do you like to be surprised more than me?" What's right and wrong? ”

I scratched my head and smiled, and said, "Uncle, I remember that you said at the beginning that during the Cultural Revolution, the head of your Gaojia Village ordered someone to dig up the ancestral grave of your Gao family, and all the burial goods in it were thrown into the Yellow River, is there such a thing?" ”

The old man was stunned, and picked the corners of his mouth with his foot-picking hand, "Yes." ”

"So, what are the funeral goods that were thrown into the Yellow River back then? …”

My heart tightened, and maybe among the things that were thrown into the Yellow River was the river map.

"I don't know." The old man spread his hands, "I didn't participate in it back then, and it is said that (taken out of the ancestral grave) were pots and pots or something." Actually, the valuable things were all hidden by the village chief, and the village chief died the day after Xu Xiangqian jumped into the Yellow River, and the people in the village took out an official seal from his clothes pocket, which was originally from the ancestral tomb. Later, I searched the village chief's house and found two jade pendants. ”

"Nothing other than these three?" I asked.

"It's said to be gone."

"Where are the official seals and those two jade pendants now?" I asked.

"At that time, I threw it into the Yellow River." The old man said.

I felt like crying, and suddenly it occurred to me that the village chief had assigned someone else to dig the grave, and those who participated in the digging might have also taken the burial goods from the tomb. When I asked the old man, he said that after so many years, he couldn't remember who was involved in digging the grave.

"Uncle, don't you mind if I go door-to-door in your village, right?" I asked.

"What are you looking for?"

"I suspect that the map may have been hidden by one of the people who dug up the grave, and since you don't remember who was digging the grave, I have to go door-to-door to find it."

The old man hesitated. I coughed and sighed, "It's okay if you don't let me check it, I can't find that map when the time comes, I can't subdue the river god, once it makes a mess, Gaojia Village will be flooded, alas..."

"Okay, alas." The old man waved his hand helplessly, "If you want to check, go and check." ”

I smiled slightly and asked Miss Bai in a low voice, "What did you want to say to me when you called me just now?" ”

"Huh?" Miss Bai was stunned for a moment, tilted her head and thought about it, and smiled awkwardly, "I... I don't remember. ”

"Ah Leng, then let's hurry up." Xiang Feng said, and the old fox was going out.

"Wait." I stopped the two of them and said to the old man, "Uncle, borrow something from you." ”

"What's that?"

I looked around, my eyes fell on the brass cigarette pouch in the old man's hand, and pointed with a smile, "Borrow your cigarette pouch and pot, just like the ancient Shang Fang sword, see the tobacco pouch and pot like the village chief, lest the people in your village not let us check..."

Coming out of the old man's house, we went to three houses in succession, and sure enough, they didn't let us check, so I took out the cigarette bag and pot, saying that the village chief allowed it, and they stopped stopping it. **Gao Lao's third daughter-in-law, the few families where the man was arrested, saw us as if they had a deep hatred. However, there were a lot of us, and all of us were very skilled, and with the 'Shang Fang Sword' in hand, they didn't dare to say anything.

Although this Gaojia village is closed and backward, there are quite a lot of households, almost hundreds. In a blink of an eye, most of the afternoon passed, and we only checked more than a dozen of them, but found nothing, and I was secretly a little worried. Coming out of an old man's house, I looked at the sky, and soon it would be dark, and the rain was still falling, and the evening breeze was blowing the rain line obliquely. The chimneys on the roofs near and far spewed pale blue smoke, curling in the wind and rain.

"That's not the way to go." I asked the old fox, "Uncle, do you have a better and faster way?" ”

The old fox said no, he only started looking for it recently, every time he came, it was nothing more than wandering around in the cemetery of Gaojia Village, the back mountain and other places, wandering around, and finding nothing, as for the village, he didn't come many times.

"Hmm."

"Why don't we split up." Xiang Feng said.

"Shang Fang's sword is only like this." I shook my head with a wry smile and raised the cigarette pouch and pot in my hand, "Otherwise, let's go back and ask the old man for something else, but if it doesn't work, we will pluck his beard off..."

Miss Bai patted me, "I haven't been in trouble all day long." ”

I 'hehe' smiled. A gust of wind blew, and I suddenly faintly heard a noise coming from a distant house. At this time, the old man of the family behind us came out with a sheep.

"Uncle, who lives in that family?" I stopped the old man and asked, pointing to the distance.

When the old man said it, it was actually the rich and handsome family. The old man said that Gao Fushuai and his mother were very unfriendly with his daughter-in-law, and they had a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days, making the chickens and dogs jump at home.

I can't help but think of what Gao Fushuai said at the beginning, his mother took off her pants and smoked his daughter-in-law to make the house full of, and I secretly felt funny.

"This bastard, I was about to look for him, I rowed a boat in the Yellow River and ran away, my magic weapons, as well as the compass, and the seven-star sword are all in the bag on the boat, let's go, let's go to his house..."

The courtyard walls of the rich and handsome house were tattered and overgrown with climbing vines. Pushing open the gate, in the courtyard, an old woman with a gray head and a short and fat middle-aged woman stood face to face, jumping high with their waists crossed. Gao Fushuai was wearing the coat I threw in the boat, squatting under the eaves, covering his ears and shaking his head.

"Oops? Do you dare to jump at my mother?! ”

The old woman's chest thrust forward, and the middle-aged woman was stunned and took a step back, "I just jumped, what's wrong?!" As he spoke, he jumped again.

"You're a dwarf winter melon if you jump again! Do you have a lady jumping high?! Look at you! …”

"You're so good, like a shriveled pear! …”

……………

The two of you jumped, I jumped, scolded so much that I didn't notice us walking in. The geese in the yard quacked violently, and the ducks ran all over the ground. Miss Bai and I looked at each other with tears and laughter.

"Alright, don't jump!! ~~~ Jump, jump, jump, cockfight?! ”

Gao Fu Shuai let go of his ears, punched the ground, shook his hands with painful grins, raised his eyes, saw us, and jumped into the house.

I was wondering when I was a child, but I saw the rich and handsome man walk out with a change of clothes.

"Don't make noise, someone is coming, isn't it a shame?!"

Gao Fushuai stomped his feet, and the two who were arguing stopped, and only then did they notice us.

"Hey, hey, you guys... Why are you here? Gao Fushuai rubbed his hands crampedly and walked towards us.

"Why, do you wish we were drowned in the Yellow River?"

"Oh, what's the matter? Look at you..."

I rubbed my nose and threw my hands at him, "Bring it." ”

"What?" Gao Fushuai asked nervously.

"Our clothes, and the bag I used to hold the magic weapon."

"No... It's gone, it's going to fall into the river...", Gao Fushuai said in a hurry.

"Oh... It turned out that I fell into the river, hehe..."

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Gao Fushuai and I pouted our chins, 'hehe' and laughed, Gao Fushuai smiled so much that his little eyes couldn't see, and he smiled and laughed, and I paused suddenly.

"your grandma's fart! I saw you wearing my clothes just now! ”

"I've been wearing this dress!" Gao Fushuai pointed at himself, "Why did you wronged a good person?" ”

"Are you fucking good?" I laughed and scolded, "Okay, I don't want that clothes, I'll give them to you, give me my bag with magic weapons..."

Gao Fushuai was about to speak, when the old woman walked over, "Where did the little rabbit cub come from?" If you scold the handsome baby, aren't you scolding the old lady and me? ”

"That's it, why are you scolding my mother-in-law? …”

The two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were arguing just now, suddenly united into a united front and approached me one by one. Miss Bai wanted to come forward to reason with them, but I pulled her back.

"What, my aunt and sister-in-law are they going to jump higher with me?" I asked with a smile as I stepped back.

"Huh? Compare and compare, who is afraid of whom? Daughter-in-law, jump one and show him! …”

The woman 'Teng' really jumped.

"Uncle Fox." I beckoned, and the old fox walked up to me, "Jump one for them to see." ”

The old fox had a cold face, nodded, sank his waist down, bent his knees slightly, and jumped up more than a room high at once, landing steadily, without making a sound at all. The rich and handsome mother and his daughter-in-law were both stunned, and looked at the old fox with their mouths open.

"I'll ask you again, do you want to give me the bag of magic weapons? Don't force me to do it! "I raised my fist at Gao Fushuai.

"Give and give, hehe... That, the clothes..."

"I said, the clothes are for you."

"Oh, that's so embarrassing, hehe..."Gao Fushuai smiled with a wrinkled face, "Come into the house, I'll give it to you." ”

The room was dark and smelled of stinking. When he came to the bed, Gao Fushuai lifted the dirty sheets that couldn't even distinguish the color, and got under the bed, and after a while, he threw out a bag, which was my bag.

I pulled it open and flipped it over, "Where is the Seven Star Sword?" ”

"You mean the wooden sword?" Gao Fushuai crawled out from under the bed and wiped the dust on his face, "I threw it away." ”

"Thrown? Where did it go? ”

"Just throw it in the ditch behind our house, and I'll look for it later, it should still be there."

"Why throw it?"

Gao Fushuai pointed outside, "My mother and my daughter-in-law screamed like ghosts when they saw the sword, so I threw it away." ”

"Are you scared?" I frowned.

"Uh-huh."

I walked to the door, and when I looked outside, the two women were still standing motionless, and suddenly, something was wrong with me...
