The matchmaker saw that we were so tough, and didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he took us directly to the girl's house he said, and when we arrived, we found that there were several middle-aged men in the courtyard who were tidying up the courtyard.

Wu Shu immediately rushed forward, and the firewood knife in his hand was already on the neck of one of the prime men.

The prime man immediately knelt down and said with a bitter face: "Uncle, we have no money at home, don't rob us, or we will give you the rest of the food and spare our lives." ”

"Big brother, they are here to find your sister-in-law, let your sister-in-law come out. The matchmaker hurriedly entered the courtyard, said a few words to the prime man, and informed Wu Shu of the situation.

Wu Shu withdrew the knife in his hand and followed the matchmaker into the room.

I hurriedly followed, and found a woman in her twenties, and the matchmaker said, "This is what you are looking for." ”

When we saw her, I was also dumbfounded, the girl in front of me was not Ah Cai at all, just a mediocre-looking, but quiet-looking girl.

"Excuse me, girl, what's your name?" I continued, "We're just looking for the wrong person." ”

The girl didn't speak, and the young man came over just now and explained: "My sister can't speak, she was dumb when she was a child, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to marry the butcher in the city." ”

"You're settled?" I asked.

The prime man said: "Of course it's settled, that is, the matchmaker said that the butcher doesn't want my sister to come over for the time being, and he will wait for two months to pick it up." ”

"Huh?" I looked back at the matchmaker and asked, "That's not what you said to the butcher, right?"

"Uh!" the matchmaker's eyes flickered, as if he didn't know what he was going to say, but he still smiled: "Actually, I ......"

Wu Shu grabbed the matchmaker with his hand: "Bastard, the butchers are so miserable, and they cheat people out of money, how do you let the girl marry and live?"

"I'm not, I'm actually ......"

"It's your mother's ass. Sun Er was in a hurry, and with a kick, the matchmaker flew out directly from the window of the house, and his head was stuck in the mound.

The matchmaker cried bitterly, crawled out of the dirt with difficulty, knelt in front of us and cried: "I don't dare to fight a few heroes anymore, I will return the money on my body, and return the rest to him when I win the bet." ”

When Liu Laosi heard this word, he was annoyed and angry, waved his hand and hit it, and the matchmaker who hit him crawled and crawled.

"Why don't you go to gamble, from tomorrow, help the butcher work, when does he say let you go, you can go, this money Lao Tzu will collect for you and return it to the butcher. ”

I said, "I'll pick up your sister today." I took out some silver from my bosom and said to the prime man: "Go find a sedan chair, pack up for your sister, marry today, and enter the cave room." ”

Several middle-aged people in the courtyard were happy to bloom, and an old woman came out of the room tremblingly and said, "Great, the girl is finally married, and it is still so beautiful, good." ”

"Liu Laosi, you go and inform the butcher, invite the neighbors to dinner tonight, and the big guy will have a good time. I said.

After the matter was arranged, the matchmaker was dumbfounded, and after finding someone to help dress up the dumb girl, he put on a red hood.

Half an hour later, the butcher was carried in a sedan chair to greet the mute girl, and when he saw the mute girl, his face was full of joy, and we could see that his joy was from the heart.

"Hello dumb girl, save the quarrel, our life can be long-lasting. The butcher said.

Wu Shu leaned over and said, "In the future, let's be less a butcher, let's learn to change careers and see if we can make some other livelihoods." ”

The butcher nodded his head repeatedly, and that night we all attended his wedding, and during the day, the old woman who took advantage of us saw that we were brothers and sisters with the butcher, and paid the bill for the pork that she had taken advantage of, and gave us another gift.

The butcher's matter was solved, but we were in vain, thinking that we could find Acai's whereabouts, but we didn't want to help the dumb girl complete the marriage.

After a few days of carpet searching in the city, there was still no trace of Ah Cai, and I even doubted Zhang Xiaoba's ability, but in the end, because there was no better way, I could only trust him.

In the evening, the mute girl suddenly came to our room and gestured with us, as if to say something.

She took me by the hand and was about to go out, and when she followed her to the butcher's house, she found that the butcher's leg was covered in blood and he could not move.

"What's going on?" I asked.

The butcher said, "It's broken, and it looks like it's going to be disabled." He gritted his teeth and was covered in sweat.

I squatted down in front of him, touched his leg with my hand, and then smiled: "No problem, your leg won't be disabled, but how did you fall your leg?"

The butcher hesitated, and the mute girl led us into their pig slaughtering room, pointing to the center of the room.

When Wu Shu saw it, he exclaimed, "My God, have you opened up hell?"

I saw a huge pit in the middle of the pig slaughtering house, the pit was bottomless, and there seemed to be some strange sounds coming from it.

"What is this place?"

It was only at this time that the butcher revealed his identity, and it turned out that he was the descendant of the Nawu Tomb we were looking for, and this pit was left by his grandfather, saying that he could go in and hide in times of war.

When we asked what was down there, the butcher said, "It's nothing, it's just a hole in the ground, it's just that the ladder has fallen into disrepair and broken." ”

"Then how did you get up?" asked Wu Shu.

The mute girl gestured with her hand, and I realized that she was the one who pulled the butcher up.

But at this time, I have another hunch, this hole is not so simple, maybe it is like the hole in Liu Laosi's house, and it may be connected to the cemetery.

After Wu Shu helped repair the ladder, we went down to the cave, and after probing, we didn't find anything special, only a tablet of Wu's ancestors.

"Could this be the Tomb of the Ooths?" I muttered to myself.

But at this time, Zhang Xiaostick was in good spirits and said in a low voice: "Why didn't I think of it at the beginning, if there is no top, it doesn't mean that there is no bottom." ”

"What do you mean?" said Liu Laosi.

Sun Er understood, and said in a low voice: "Heavenly Master seems to have another idea, let's go back and talk about it." ”

"Thank you for helping me so much, I really don't know how to repay you. ”

I said, "I don't need you to repay me, but you have to tell us something." ”

"Tell me, and I will tell you what I know. ”

"Did you Wu Shi live here before?"

"Then I don't know, at least this branch of our family must have lived here for another hundred years, but they said that there is our Wu clan's soul here, and I actually don't believe it. The butcher said.

I said, "Then do you have any Wu Clan Ancestral Hall or anything like that in your city?"

"No, there is only a temple of the City God, but I go there every year to pray for blessings and pay tribute to my ancestors. The butcher said.

I nodded, helped the butcher with the medicine, and went back to my room.

After entering the house, I said, "Tell me, Celestial Master, what have you discovered?"

"I mean Sister Acai's information has never disappeared, proving that she is still in the city, but there is one thing, we have all checked, and we have not found any trace of her, only the City God Temple, and ...... right now."

Sun Er said: "You want to say that there is still underground, and the tomb of the Wu clan is not far from the city, right?" ”

Zhang Xiaostick nodded and said, "He's right, I feel that there is likely to be an entrance to the city." ”

"Who would build a cemetery under the city?" Wu Shu asked.

"Don't forget, I think most of the people in this city are descendants of their Wu clan, and their ancestors are not in conflict with their own descendants. I said.

"Then according to what you say, Ah Cai was brought into the tomb again?" Wu Shu said.

Zhang Xiaostick and I are sure that at this time, we will go to the City God Temple that night to explore the bottom, Zhang Xiaostick wrote the spirit talisman at home, and Liu Laosi also helped prepare the items.

After I took Sun Er and Wu Shu into the Chenghuang Temple, I found that in addition to the worship of the Chenghuang in the temple, there was also a very large tablet under the Chenghuang, on which were written the ancestors of the Wu family.

"Look, this should be their Wu clan's ancestral hall, right? ”

In fact, there is no one to guard this temple in this city god temple, and there are no people living here, but every anniversary, most of the people will come here to pack up and prepare, and after the offerings, most of the offerings will be distributed to those families who are not wealthy.

But the strange thing is that now is not a festival, nor is it a sacrificial season, there are a lot of offerings under the body of the city god, as well as a huge pig's head, a few wines, and the incense burner is full of fragrance.

"Could it be something?" Wu Shu muttered.

I shook my head: "I don't know, I always feel that something is not right, but the offerings are quite generous." ”

"Brother Wushu, you better go and find it, you are familiar with the mechanism, maybe this is the entrance to the cemetery. Sun Erdao.

We searched for a long time in the temple and didn't find anything special, but I found some people eating under the offering table, and there were some neat hay behind the statue of the city god, and it was estimated that someone was staying here.

"We're waiting here, maybe somebody. ”

The front and back of this temple are open, and if you enter through the front door, you can also go out from behind, and near the back is a flat vegetable field, so we waited in the vegetable field.

That night, I really waited for a few people to come, and after they entered the temple, they picked up the wine jug and began to eat and drink, and kept talking and chatting.

From their conversation, I heard that they were digging something, which gave me the first impression that they were peers.

In order not to startle the snakes, we waited for them to wake up, and then another wave of people came from outside, as if to take their place of sleep, and when the people who came back had slept, the people who got up went out again with shovels.

We followed him to the rockery pond outside the temple, where we saw the people disappear en masse after jumping into the pool.

We immediately ran to the edge of the pond and found that the water in the pool was crystal clear, and there were quite a few fish swimming around, and there seemed to be a spring under the rockery.

"What the hell, what about people? It looks like the water here is only half a person high, and a few people are gone. ”

"Gollum!" bubbles bubbled up in the pool, and we watched with wide eyes.
