Chapter 66: Hands
It was early in the morning, everything was quiet, and all kinds of unknown birds were heard in the night. The night was very cold, and the tofu boy estimated that the fire would burn more vigorously during the vigil, so there was not enough firewood now.
I thought that there had been no accident in the first half of the night, so I was going to go to the neighborhood to find some firewood, so that the fire would not break in the middle of the fire, and then I would suffer.
This is the top of the mountain, there are no tall trees, mostly shrubs, not far from the cave is the bushes, firewood is very easy to collect, the only thing that makes people feel very uncomfortable is that there are many snakes here.
I used to often go into the mountains, and I am no stranger to all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants, but I have never seen so many snakes in any mountain.
This situation is a bit abnormal, and I can't help but think of the ghost king and the dragon tomb.
According to the woman surnamed Ren, the one who owns the eight carp bucket Jiaozhen Haishi is a foreign princess named Gege in the Ming Dynasty. And why is this princess tomb called the Yulong Tomb?
The folk also call the snake the little dragon, and the person who made the Zuò Ghost King Yulong Cup did not refer to the real dragon, but to the snakes here?
Are these snakes related to the princess's tomb?
It seems that the truth of the matter may only be clear to Wei Guangtou, after all, he was the only one who understood the information in the Ghost King Yulong Cup at that time. The woman surnamed Ren, although she killed Lin Fatzi, but judging from their conversation in the golden vein at the time, there should be someone under her hand, maybe she is rushing towards this place, I am now with Zhao Erye after all, this tomb of Princess Geger is a curse, if it is destroyed by that woman, things will not be good.
These thoughts went through my mind, and my brain became clearer. The more times like this, the more deaf and bright I felt, and suddenly, in the darkness, I seemed to hear a sound of footsteps approaching me.
The sound was so far away that at first I thought it was a hallucination, but as the footsteps kept approaching, I couldn't help but clearly realize that someone was really coming. But if it were someone, in such a dark ring, he would definitely carry a light source, such as a flashlight, or even a torch. However, in front of me, the direction from which the voice came from, was pitch black.
However, I was sure that the footsteps were not my auditory hallucinations, and the situation was unknown at the moment, so I couldn't help but be vigilant, and immediately extinguished the flashlight. The moment the light faded, I heard a voice in front of me, which seemed painful, and I gasped, and there was no sound after a muffled grunt, followed by a thud, which seemed to be the sound of a man falling to the ground, and then there was no more movement.
I waited for a long time, but I didn't wake up, knowing that something should have happened to the man, I immediately turned on the flashlight, touched it forward, and looked at the light of the flashlight, only to see a person lying on his stomach ten meters in front of him.
Walking into one, the person was not Wei Guangtou, but a person I had never met at all.
I turned him over, and I saw that this man was emaciated, with a yellow complexion, about forty years old, and the most peculiar thing was his hands, the palms of which were also thin, but the ten fingers were very long, and each finger could be lightly seen with yellowed calluses.
Although I didn't know this man, I could guess his identity with these hands.
Tomb robbing is a technical job. The location, structure, and mechanism of the mausoleum require a lot of effort, and if the tomb robbers want to obtain the treasures in the tomb, they must understand the secret of the location of the mausoleum, the architectural structure, and even the ability to make and crack the mechanism. The cracking of this mechanism is a technology, and those who are familiar with this technology are called 'palms' in the jargon.
The palm is different from the palm eye, the palm eye understands more and more complicated things, and the palm only needs to understand the same, that is, the mechanism.
One of the most famous palms in modern times is Luoyang's Sun Caishen, and my grandfather's notes once mentioned an interesting story about Sun Caishen. Sun Caishen has a pair of hands called 'Ban Mao'.
Some people may think it is strange, even if people have nicknames, how can they still have nicknames? This story is particularly interesting. This Sun God of Wealth is also a tomb robber digging mushrooms, but he generally doesn't do it alone, he is looking for someone to work with, and he is mainly responsible for cracking the mechanism in the team.
If you touch a bowl, you can know the size, size, weight, and even the pattern of the porcelain painting on the surface of the bowl, and you will not forget it. He is a strict wife and is afraid of his wife, but he does not change his lust and always goes to the kiln behind his wife's back.
His wife doesn't know his character, and has always wanted to teach him a lesson, but because there is no evidence, as the old saying goes, catch a thief and take a stolen product, catch a traitor and catch a double. His wife thought of an idea and went to Cuiyun Tower to keep an eye on it.
Soon, Sun Caishen dangled the figure-eight steps and went to find his favorite little peach blossom to open a room and talk, and his wife bought the little peach blossom and got into the quilt by herself. Sun Caishen looked at the door, smiled lewdly, and said, "Little beauty, you are really anxious, I just came, and you are waiting for me in bed." After saying that, he jumped on the bed with a smile, the room was dimly lit, and he didn't see the other party's face clearly, so he went up and picked up his clothes, and grabbed the other party's tits.
As soon as he shook it, something was absolutely wrong, and he shouted, "Not good! It's a little small, it's still half a millimeter, it's not a little peach blossom, it's my wife! His wife lifted the quilt and grabbed his ear and scolded: "Okay, you old ghost digging graves, you carry me outside all day long, and you dare to think I'm small, my mother doesn't beat you today, you are full of smiles and spring breeze, you don't know why the flowers are so red." "His wife, who is five big and three thick, has a strong shoulder, and beats Sun Caishen's nose and face are swollen, and since then he has a nickname of 'half a milli'.
This pair of machine hands that can know the measure of proportion at the touch of the finger is the ability of the father to the son, the master to the apprentice, if you want to practice, it is not a day's work. It is said that when practicing finger power, a heavy piece of iron and lead fell on each finger, and after finishing with these fingers, he used these fingers to play the guqin.
The iron and lead are heavy, the fingers are stiff and trembling, and the piano must be out of tune, and you have to practice until the fingers are wrapped around the iron and lead, and the sound is like flowing water to be considered complete.
The man in front of me, a pair of 'machine hands' is very obvious, I immediately knew in my heart, presumably this person must be one of the helpers invited by Wei Guangtou, how could he fall here? Could it be that something happened to Wei Guangtou and them?
I hurriedly reached out to probe his breath, but fortunately he hadn't lost his breath yet, and there were no obvious external injuries on his body, and I didn't know how he had fainted, so I could only take him back to the cave first.
After entering the cave, I woke up Tofu, and I didn't care to explain to him, so I asked him to open the kettle, poured some water into the machine, pinched people, and knocked on the vest...... Where am I, where am I? ”
Tofu leaned his head over and said, "I'm a cow head, he's a horse face, and we'll take you back to your hometown." ”
The machine hand blinked, where would he be able to make tofu, moaned a few times, and said, "I understand, the two must be Brother Chen and Brother Dou, and they will be fortunate to meet." ”
Tofu wanted to scare people, but people were not fooled at all, and he was a little frustrated and asked, "How did you know the two of us?" ”
The operator said: "Brother Wei said, if you meet two men, one is cold, the other is hot, one is calm and wise, and the other is unreliable, it must be the two of you." After speaking, he looked at the tofu and said, "Brother Dou, you are too unreliable, even if you look like a bull's head, this Brother Chen is not like a horse face." ”
After listening to this, I had a great impression of this person, and said: "Look at this old brother is an understanding person, you hurried up the mountain in the middle of the night, and suddenly fainted to the ground, what happened?" ”
The machine slapped his forehead violently and said, "Something happened, Brother Wei and the three of them were trapped, didn't I escape and move the rescuers?" "Stuck? I was shocked, and I said that they had already entered the ancient tomb? How can you get trapped? Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but say, "Even if there is a mechanism and you are there, it should be fine, how are they trapped?" ”
The machine operator looked anxious, and immediately told the two of us what happened, and Tofu and I only felt dumbfounded after listening to it, I didn't expect that there was such a bizarre and strange thing in the mountains.
