Chapter 118: The Tomb of Hengshan
No one expected that on this rainy day, Secretary Liu would actually come to them on a bicycle. Officer Liu was wearing a raincoat, his trouser legs were rolled up, and he was pedaling very hard, and when he looked up, he saw that the brothers of the grave team had just come out of the door, and they were far away and shouted to wait for him for a while.
What is Lao Wu thinking about this person for? Didn't they all say that they haven't been alive lately? Seeing this posture, he seemed to be in a hurry, not like a trivial matter, so he stood at the door and waved at Liu Shigan.
Officer Liu was a clerk in the army back then, and now he is also an officer in the county, sitting and working all day long, and he can't exercise his physical strength. From the county seat to the dormitory of the Nanpo Village grave team, it is only a dozen miles in total, but it is not a good road. When the weather is good, it's okay, but to catch up with this kind of rain or just after the rain, the loess paved road is not much different from the swamp, if you don't pay attention to stepping into the thick silt, the foot can be pulled out, and the shoes are gone, it's such a broken road.
At that time, when Officer Liu pedaled his bicycle to greet them, it was only forty or fifty meters away from them at most, but Officer Liu didn't ride over for a long time, and the brothers couldn't wait to catch up. But before they could take a few steps, they saw Officer Liu, who was riding a bicycle on the road in front of them, and suddenly the front wheel fell into a pit, and his foot was pinned by the car Dengzi and did not pull out, so he fell directly into the mud with the bicycle.
Hu Dafang couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud
"Haha, I said, you look at Lao Liu's falling appearance, it's too funny!"
The fourth child stabbed him next to him, then quickly lifted the hat of his raincoat and ran over with his brothers.
Hu Dabo was still standing at the door, shouting to the brothers who ran away: "Hey! If that Lao Liu is to send us money, and then get him up, otherwise it doesn't matter! Let him roll in the mud by himself! ”
Director Liu fell all over the mud, lying on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, waiting for his brothers to come over and drag him to the side of the road to sit, rubbing his elbow and saying, "Oh, this is a broken road, but the fell to my death!" ”
Lao Wu stood beside him and said, "Do you still know that it is a broken road? Do you know why you don't ask the county to pay for us to build a good road?
Director Liu took off his raincoat full of mud, looked up at Lao Wu in the rain and said, "What you said, how light it is to pay for road construction, who will pay for the key money?" If the road is built for your village, won't other villages have to be repaired as well? As soon as he finished saying this, he quickly shrunk his neck, and looked at whether there were other people around, and then said with a wry smile: "How can there be so much money in the county!" The hundreds of thousands of dollars I gave you last time are simply the silver that has moved the treasury, and they are all poor, so know and be content! ”
Lao Wu looked at him and knew that the county was really bad, either pretending to be poor or really poor, and he didn't tease him anymore, so he asked why he was looking for them on a rainy day?
Director Liu was blindsided just now, and after being reminded by Lao Wu, he patted his head and said, "Oops! Look at my brain, how I forgot to get down to business! Hurry up, don't go anywhere, you don't have to take anything with me, we have to go to Luoyang for a while, then dig up a large burial pit, it may be the tomb of a certain emperor! ”
The brothers heard it strangely, they were just digging graves, and they weren't archaeologists, why did Luoyang dig up the tomb to find them? The fourth squatted down and asked Director Liu, "What are you doing?" What does it matter to us to dig up the tomb? Isn't it the ancestor of any of our families? Let's go get the money? ”
"Fourth, where do you want to go, listen to me!" There was both rain and sweat on the door of Director Liu's head, and he was very anxious, but he still told them what happened in Luoyang.
It turned out that just three days ago, farmers in the Hengshan area of Luoyang dug up pottery from the edge of their fields, but the soil was still colored on it, and it didn't take much time to turn into earthy yellow, which looked like it had been for many years, and it faded when it encountered the air. After preliminary excavations by local scholars, it is concluded that there is an imperial tomb in the Northern Wei Dynasty underground, and it is also a tomb group, and its scope is incalculable. However, when measuring the area, it was found that there were no less than dozens of new and old robbery holes on the ground, and it seemed that the underground tombs had most likely been hollowed out and destroyed by tomb robbers. This incident alarmed the local county, and with special approval, several professional archaeologists were transferred from the central government to participate in the excavation of the underground Northern Wei Dynasty tombs, so as not to damage the already damaged tombs as much as possible.
But there is a local legend that this is the meeting place of the two dragon veins, and the old people say that there is a big tomb here, which is the tomb of the emperor in the past, and there are countless treasures in it, but it is densely packed, and if you want to get the burial goods in the tomb, you have to leave your life inside. If you want to say what the dragon vein is, the locals don't know it, they just think this thing is very evil, and they can't say what is going on, exaggerating from generation to generation, saying that the original ordinary tomb group is full of traps, poisonous snakes, insects, ants, and even zombies, and that is called an evil one.
It is because of the saying that the peasants who have to be recruited during every archaeological excavation do not dare to come. Those archaeologists are all scholars, and if you ask them to talk about the knowledge in the books, they really have to turn the soil with a shovel, and they will be tired in a few strokes. They didn't recruit locals to work, and they couldn't do it themselves, so they had to ask the local county for help. It just so happened that there were a lot of grave relocation teams in Henan, and the team was full of strong men, digging graves, and digging ancient tombs should be similar. Director Liu just received the order from above, and he came to find a few brothers in the grave team who were in a hurry.
When he heard this, Lao Wu's eyes lit up and he was still a little excited, because he hadn't touched the ancient tomb for many years, and his heart was really itchy. The kind of robbery hole into the tomb to get the Ming utensils for a living, just like gambling on the nature of the stone, when gambling just look at the appearance, what is inside, whether it is a piece of treasure jade do not know, but the danger of robbing the tomb is very great, increase the stakes, every time the last layer of grave soil is dug up, that is extremely excited.
But Lao Wu suddenly remembered that they had received Pu Weibai's work yesterday, and they went out so early in the morning to prepare for going to the county in advance, and Secretary Liu suddenly came out like this, which caught him off guard, what should I do? Could it be that Pu Wei's white work is forgotten? But the money that was about to arrive was not reconciled.
Lao Wu thought of this and asked Secretary Liu: "Hey, if we go, will it be considered salary?" ”
Director Liu frowned and said helplessly: "Oops! Why do you still think about this? It's going to have to be paid! And quite a few! How many people have broken their heads to work, but、But it doesn't meet the requirements. ”
"Requirements? What are the requirements? You didn't say that just now, did you? What's going on? The fourth child shook the water on his raincoat and asked him.
Secretary Liu stood up, raised his hand to wipe the mud off his hair, and said anxiously: "Okay!" Don't ask, there's not enough time! Come with me, I'll talk about it on the way! ”
Lao Wu asked strangely: "Why are you in a hurry?" Didn't you just go and help dig the grave? Besides, if it's too late, can the tomb still run with long legs? ”
Director Liu seemed to be really anxious, and he didn't reply to Lao Wu's words, but instead stretched out his hand and pointed at the number of brothers, exactly seven people, and then waved his hand and said, "Okay!" Everybody! Are you all right? Then come with me! ”
Lao Wu said: "Who said it's okay? There is a job you don't have to give advance notice! Just so suddenly you have to go to another county, and you don't have time to get anything, how can you be like this? Besides, yesterday, I promised an old man in the county who had just passed away, and we would have to help carry the coffin when the funeral came, if we didn't go, what would we do? The coffin is put on the ground and dragged away? ”
Officer Liu rolled up his wet sleeves, patted his watch to check the time, and then gasped and said, "Then, then let me take five people, you and Hu Lao Er go to the county!" What do you think? ”
But in the end, Director Liu only took four people, the third and fourth brothers, and the fifth and sixth brothers, and took them to Hengshan to dig graves. The remaining Lao Wu, Hu Dabao and Xiao Qi went to the county to find Pu Wei to do white things. It stands to reason that everything is quite normal, but when these two groups of people were working, something happened!
