Lantern Xiao made a trembling motion, "Damn, goosebumps fall to the ground!" ”

"Fuck you uncle!"

Lan Xiao slowly put away her smile, "Zhuo Ran, in fact, you know that my father's death is still unclear. I think he wants to leave these things to me," said Lan Xiao, patting the information on the table, "I think there must be clues in this that will allow me to find the cause of his death, so I won't let go of every opportunity here, including this one, of course." To be honest, you don't have to mind too much, I'm not just here to help you, I'm actually here to help myself! ”

I nodded, "In that case, let's figure out the whole thing together!" ”

After coming out of the restaurant, Lantern Festival and I went to prepare some equipment, but in this small county, there are not many professional equipment that can be bought, so we have to try to settle for it. Lantern Xiao and I felt that this time we weren't going to some barren mountains and mountains, so we didn't need much equipment. We only bought flashlights, rope and lighters.

The sapper shovel didn't know where to buy it, so he had to buy two short shovels at a souvenir shop. Others bought some bandages and wound medicine at a pharmacy just in case, and finally we bought as many bits and pieces as we could think of, but what I couldn't understand was that Lantern Festival actually bought two pairs of rubber gloves and a pack of labor protection masks.

I watched Lantern Xiao holding gloves and wearing a mask, like a cleaning aunt. I smiled and said, "Then you're planning to go underground to clean up the tomb owner, right?" ”

Lantern Xiao cut off, "What do you know, I bought a mask to protect myself, the air quality in this ancient tomb is not good, although it may not be fatal, but it is not good for the body after smelling it for a long time." This glove is even more important, if you plan to open the coffin or something, you need to turn the corpse, do you want to do it directly? Isn't it disgusting? ”

I nodded suddenly, "Open the coffin, open the coffin, you kid is really still thinking about the artifact in his head!" ”

Lantern Xiao put things in her bag and muttered, "If you really meet it, don't take it for nothing!" ”

I struggled with Lantern Festival until dark, and I felt that I was almost ready, so I hastily ate something and returned to my hometown village.

Although it should be early spring by now, the weather is still very cold, so when the sky gets dark, there are basically no people on the streets of the village. Just in case, Lantern Xiao and I hid in the grove outside the village until midnight.

It wasn't until the cold northwest wind blew me and Lantern Xiao cold that we hugged our shoulders and slipped into the village shivering.

At this time, the ancestral house, because the project has not yet been completed, it is customary to light an electric light at night, one is to prevent people from stealing all kinds of materials scattered outside, and the other is that due to the construction of various ditches and ditches dug on the ground, there is a lamp to prevent someone from accidentally falling into it and injuring themselves.

Lantern Xiao and I cautiously leaned over and found that there was no one on the construction site, and the workers on duty should rest in the wings. Lantern Xiao and I tiptoed in, and when we passed by the door of the wing, I deliberately listened to it, and there was a sound of snoring from inside the room. It seems that this anti-theft measure on duty is also a decoration, if I and Lantern Xiao are thieves, I have already succeeded, but look at the construction site There is really nothing to steal, except for sand, cement, bricks, tiles, only a few shovels and a cart.

I gestured to Lantern Festival and continued to move forward. We walked through the main house in the inner courtyard and went straight to the backyard, only to find that the backyard was already full of things that had been moved out of the main house.

Lantern Xiao was behind me, gently pulled me and said, "Hey! Where is the tomb you're talking about? ”

I motioned for him to be quiet and let him follow me. I walked around the yard and came to the utility room in a corner of the yard. After all, I've been here once, and this time I'm familiar with the road and go straight to the goal. I pushed open the wooden door and walked straight to the flap in the corner, but when I was about to get there, I suddenly found that the iron lock that had locked the flap was gone!

Sure enough, someone went in! I walked over quickly, crouched down to check, and immediately noticed that the lock on the flap was not opened normally, but forcibly pried open! The pryed lock ring was thrown aside.

Seeing this scene, my heart suddenly sank, and when Lantern Xiao saw that my expression had changed, she leaned over and said, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

I pointed to the lock on the flap, "This lock, the last time I came, it was still locked. This time, someone forcibly pried it open! ”

Lantern Xiao was slightly stunned, "You mean, the person who picks this lock is the one who destroys the underground tomb?" ”

I nodded, "To be honest, I used to think that the person who destroyed the catacombs was my second uncle. ”

"Why?" Lantern Xiao was a little surprised, "Your second uncle will destroy his home for no reason?" ”

I shook my head, "Actually, I don't quite understand, it's just a gut feeling on my part, because after my grandfather passed away, all the secrets of the family should only be known to my second uncle." And of course, this catacomb. But now it seems that the person who entered the catacombs this time must not be my second uncle, he has the key to this lock, and he will not bother to pry it open! There must be someone else! "However, thinking of these, I am even more confused and uneasy, the secret of our vein of the Zhuo family, who else will know except the second uncle!

Lantern Xiao listened to my words and nodded. But he thought for a moment and said to me: "Actually, don't think about it, maybe it was pried open by the construction team, or maybe someone else in your family pried it open." I can't say, when your ancestral house collapsed, there must have been a lot of people here, and there were many people at that time. Probably someone will do that. ”

I was shocked, "If that's the case, it's even more troublesome!" The last time I came up, I was so shocked that I forgot if I had hidden the entrance to the catacombs again! If I forget, if someone else goes down this time, then the secret that the Zhuo family has hidden for a hundred years will probably be exposed! ”

Lantern Xiao pushed me, "That's nonsense, hurry up and take a look!" ”

I nodded, quickly pulled up the flap, and walked down.

I and Lantern Xiao came to the vegetable cellar below, Lantern Xiao grew up in the city since he was a child, and he had never seen this kind of thing at all, so he looked around curiously, "Damn!" Tunnel warfare! That's interesting! ”

I ignored him and went straight to the vat that covered the entrance to the tomb. I saw that the vat that I had cracked last time was now even more severe, not only this one, but also several other vat around me.

I beckoned Lantern Xiao to remove the fragments of the vat at the entrance to the tomb, and I was surprised to find a black entrance on the ground.

Lantern Xiao held up a flashlight, leaned in, shone inside, and then got into it with a short body.

I hurriedly followed him and got in, but I was just halfway inside, but I saw Lantern Xiao retreat again, shook my head, and said to me, "No! This passage is more than ten meters down, and it is completely blocked! It's impossible to get in unless you dig it up from scratch! ”
