Lao Wu bets with the fourth child at night who digs the grave faster, and there is no need to guess the result. Although the fourth child is young and strong, he usually works the fastest, but this old Wu is still in the craft of digging wells and stealing holes, and it is not difficult to dig a hole on the half-meter-high grave to get inside, just as Lao Wu is happy to win a jar of coarse grain wine, but he heard the old fourth who was digging the grave not far away muttering something There is a hole in it.

When Lao Wu heard this, he beckoned Xiao Qi to go over and take a look, walked to the grave that Lao Si dug up, stood and looked inside, there were no bones in the half-dug grave, and there was a hole about twenty or thirty centimeters wide at the bottom of the grave, and the hole was so deep that nothing could be seen.

said that at that time, the fourth child planned to dig up half of the grave soil, as long as he saw the bones of the dead man, he would win, but he didn't expect that Lao Wu would dig a hole directly with a double shovel in his hand like an animal, and he knew that he couldn't compare, so he was going to go to the board car to get a few sacks to put the bones of the dead people dug up, and the last few shovels dug into the soft place in the soil, and then the grave soil began to collapse to form a small hole.

Xiao Qi's first reaction after seeing this hole was the digging of the thief hole in the story told by Lao Wu last night, he thought that this was the thief hole, so he asked Lao Wu: "Brother Wu, do you think this is the thief hole you said?" Did someone dig a thief hole and go in to get the weapon? Isn't it? ”

Lao Wu Zheng wondered if this grave was dug very deep, it stands to reason that there should have been bones in the morning, but not only did he not see the bones but also dug a small hole, and then he heard Xiao Qi ask him if this was a robbery hole, he said: "This is not a robbery hole, let's not talk about whether this person can go in, you see that there are scratches on the edge of the hole, this is obviously some kind of animal claw gouging out, looking at the width of the hole, although the animal is not too big, but it is not very small, it is not sure that it is dug by a fox or a beast such as a ground arch." ”

Although Lao Wu said that this cave was not a robbery hole, he had a series of questions about why the holes of these beasts were hit in the graves? Where are the bones in the grave? Could it be that the burrowing beast was dragged out of the hole?

But in the end, they are just digging graves for the local government, and they will secretly collect good things in the graves, and it doesn't matter if there are no dead people. As a result, before Lao Wu could think about it, he heard a few people working in the distance shouting and saying that they were digging a hole, and Lao Wu suddenly felt a bad premonition when he heard it.

In the morning, the grave team dug a lot of graves on the side of the grave slope roadside, most of which were empty, and the most important thing in the grave was to leave some broken shoes and broken clothes, and the bones of the dead were gone, leaving a black hole at the mouth of the pit to look at the brothers of the grave team.

Lao Wu didn't take it too seriously, and told his thoughts to the rest of the grave team, saying that these holes might be some kind of arch dug into the grave from the ground and took away the bones of the dead, so that the others should not worry about working quickly, and after finishing the work, he was waiting for the fourth child to buy wine and drink, and he was still worried about it.

Busy working until lunch, Lao Wu didn't sleep much last night, and the five visceral temples that were hungry for a lot of work today began to call, and quickly asked the brothers to stop and eat first, whenever Lao Wu beckoned to eat, it must be to eat noodle soup.

There are a few vendors around the main road leading to the county seat in Wulichuan Town, set up a pergola and put up a few long benches so that the porters who pass by have a place to rest and drink tea temporarily. One of the vendors in this stall is from Shaanxi, and he is from the same county and village as Lao Wu, and he is still a relative if he can't count the generations. Although the two of them met in the village before but were not very familiar, after arriving in Henan, they met on the side of the road a few times, Lao Wu took the initiative to go up and say a few words, and now the relationship is not bad. This man set up a roadside stall not to sell tea, but to sell noodles and soup in an iron pot.

It is said that because of the climate in the northwest region, there is a general lack of vegetables, so the local people are good at making fine with coarse grains, and there are many kinds of methods of inside, steamed buns and noodles, and the taste is relatively delicious, and the taste is one for each. There are three types of noodles in the northwest region that are more famous, namely noodles, gunfights, and ramen.

Among them, dough is the most popular and popular noodle dish in Northwest China, and it is generally used as a staple food for dinner. There are two types, one is to roll out thinly with a rolling pin and then cut into pieces and put them in the pot. One is to mix the noodles with cold water, pinch and stretch them into long strips, and then knead them into a dough sheet the size of a fingernail and put it into the pot. Then put it in the pot and scoop it up, pour the mutton consommé, add diced mutton, tomatoes, and green radish slices to become tomato mutton noodles; Mixed with beef and lamb slices, tofu, vermicelli, and vegetables to make braised noodles. There are also fried fried beef, mutton, vermicelli, and vegetables to make fried noodles, and there are many varieties with different tastes.

In the second half of 1952, the Korean War was hot, and China also sent a million volunteers across the Yalu River to resist the invasion of North Korea by US imperialism and its allies.

The noodle soup sold on the side of the road is not the mutton consommé mentioned above, just roll the noodles into a thin skin and cut them into a diamond shape and go down to the boiling soup, the soup puts very little lard and some condiments, but the chili noodles are put a lot, the whole soup is red, the noodles can be red with the dyed color when they are served out in the pot, the taste is spicy and delicious, and it is very delicious.

Lao Wu They will also come over every once in a while to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup, every time they arrive, they don't need to say hello to find a bench to sit down, and they don't know each other anymore.

There may be too much chili noodles in today's soup, and the spicy faces of several people in the grave team are covered with sweat, and the taste of drinking spicy and hot soup against the sun is a bit strange, and it is estimated that it can be similar to a sauna.

The old erhu is a native of Jilin in Northeast China, and his figure should be the strongest in the grave team, so he is nicknamed Da Wing. said that after drinking two bowls of noodle soup, Hu Da couldn't hang up his clothes, so he took it off his body and put it on his shoulder, wiped a handful of soup oil on his mouth with the back of his hand, and said: "Oh mom, it's spicy to me, Liu Hat, how much chili pepper did you put in today?" My lips are numb. ”

Liu Hat is this Shaanxi man who sells noodle soup, his surname is Liu, because this person likes to wear hats, no matter when I see him, there is always a small round hat like the guy who used to run the restaurant on his head, so some people call him Liu Hat.

Liu Mao said while serving soup to others: "It's not that I put too much chili noodles today, but that you came here today to catch up with the first pot of soup, and the taste is relatively strong." ”

Xiao Qi ate almost two bowls by himself, and drank it after a while, sitting on the side thinking about the strange holes in the grave slope, and after a while, he was bored and panicked and asked Lao Wu: "Brother Wu, did you say that the holes in the deserted graves in the grave slope were dug by animals?" Those dead people's bones can't gnaw on them, huh? What is Fei that stupid man digging holes and graves for? Is there something underneath the grave? ”

Lao Wu was hungry and was eating noodles in a big gulp, and suddenly heard Xiao Qi carrying human bones, and somehow felt a little sick to his stomach, so he said: "I'm eating, what do you say this thing is going on, let's just move the grave and care about what is under him, and we can't get close to it, and the brothers have to hurry back to work after eating, and we'll talk about it in detail when we get back to the grave." ”

This point is the most sufficient, and the people who are in a hurry are also looking for a place to rest, almost no one passes by here, and there are only a few brothers left in the grave team who eat, and when Liu Hat brushes the dishes, he listens to what Xiao Qi said to Lao Wu, and he suddenly comes to his senses and says: "Hey, you saw a hole in the grave slope?" The entrance to the cave is not so big. He gestured with his hand as he spoke.

Lao Wu saw that Liu Hao's hand was comparing the size of the hole, so he asked him: "Yes, it's so big, we dug a lot in the morning, and it's not all in the grave on the surface, do you know what's going on?" ”

Liu Mao was also idle, and when he saw Lao Wu to inquire, he moved a bench and sat next to Lao Wu, and talked about the noisy street of five rats that were rumored to be in the uproar back then.
