As soon as Lao Xu went to the tomb, he put his ear to the tomb wall and listened with bated breath. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoI know: Lao Xu Tou is listening to the movement of the insect king.

Old Xu Tou listened for a while, but didn't seem to hear any movement. So, he began to carefully inspect the tomb wall.

The little widow's uncle threw the dead man-eating worm into the basket, and when he had half of the basket loaded, he handed it over.

Lao Xu Tou shouted: "Old Gu, you can count again and see how many man-eating insects there are." ”

Toad Mirror happily agreed, "Okay, I'll count it carefully." ”

Within twenty minutes, all ninety-nine dead man-eating insects had been transported out of the tomb.

The toad mirror reported: "Uncle Cousin, there are ninety-nine in total, the same as yesterday's number. ”

"I see. Old Xu Tou agreed.

I saw Lao Xu Tou standing under the hole, looking up at the hole without saying a word.

From the moment Lao Xu Tou went down to the tomb, I pulled the rope tightly with three migrant workers, ready to pull Lao Xu Tou up as soon as there was a situation.

"Everyone pay attention, don't jungle, when the time comes, listen to my orders. I confessed.

The toad mirror squatted at the entrance of the tomb, smoking a cigarette leisurely.

I said to Lao Xu, "Uncle Cousin, I'll hand you the bamboo pole, and you can poke this hole again." I said.

"Okay, hand the bamboo pole down. Old Xu Tou agreed.

I handed the bamboo pole to Old Xu.

Old Xu Tou took a bamboo pole and poked the mysterious hole again, but there was still no movement.

Old Xu Tou walked around the tomb a few times, and said to himself: "It's really strange, how could the insect king disappear?"

The little widow's uncle finished picking up the dead man-eating insects and asked the toad mirror, "Old Chief, should I come up?"

"Come on. Toad Mirror looked disappointed. I guess Toad Mirror must be thinking: Grandma, why didn't that insect king appear? If the insect king came out, we would only save Lao Xu Tou. If you want to come up, Lao Tzu will kick you down.

The little widow's uncle came up from the tomb.

After a while, Lao Xu Tou also came up.

I said to Old Xu, "It's time for me to go down." ”

Lao Xu frowned and asked, "What are you doing down?"

I smiled and said, "I'm here to archaeology, so how can I not go down to the tomb?" Although there is nothing to do in the tomb, I should at least go down and check it out and find out what kind of tomb it is, otherwise I will become a deaf man's ear." ”

"I'll go down with you. Old Xu Tou said.

"Yes, if you don't go down, you'll leave me alone if something happens. As soon as you go and pull you out beforehand, I can only send you to death. I said with a grin.

"Okay. Come, tie the rope around your waist. Old Xu Tou untied the rope around his waist and tied it for me personally. He confessed: "All the people are pulling the ropes. ”

When Toad Mirror heard what Lao Xu Tou said, he hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt and said, "Uncle Cousin is right, I must not let Leader Zhang have an accident." ”

I went down to the tomb and examined it closely, and found that there was nothing but a pile of rotten coffin boards and a few bones in the center of the tomb. In other words: the owner of the tomb did not have a single burial object.

I wondered: is it reasonable that a thousand-year-old tomb guarded by man-eating insects does not have a single burial object?

Could it be that this tomb has ever been stolen?

No, it won't. If the tomb had been stolen, there would have been no man-eating insects.

Since there are man-eating insects, it proves that this ancient tomb has never been stolen.

It's weird, it's so weird, I look at this pile of rotten coffin boards, and I can't figure it out.

"What are you doing kid doing?" Old Xu Tou urged above.

"Oh, I'll be up right away. I replied.

"Hey, if you kid doesn't come up again, we'll pull it. Old Xu Tou said anxiously.

I climbed up dejectedly and said, "Damn, I don't even have an ancient coin, and I dug this tomb for nothing." ”

"It's a trivial matter to dig in vain, and we almost got into it with our lives. Toad Mirror said dejectedly.

"Alas, it is still the wise deputy curator Xu, who has long asserted that it is the grave of a rich man. "I took the opportunity to pat Deputy Curator Xu's ass.

"Yes, my cousin is really like a god, he didn't even look at it, he can deduce that this is the tomb of a rich man, and he can't accept it. Toad Mirror said proudly.

"Brother Zhang, isn't it time for us to collect our troops and return to the nest?" asked Toad Mirror.

"Don't go in a hurry, from tomorrow, let's each have a Luoyang shovel and dig around here again. Old Xu Tou said.

I paused for a moment, glanced at Lao Xu, and said nothing.

Toad Mirror said: "Uncle Cousin, the task we accepted is to excavate this ancient tomb, and now, the ancient tomb has been excavated, it stands to reason that the troops should be withdrawn." If we look for a grave here without permission, wouldn't it be a violation of the general's order?" Actually, he said this to me.

The reason why I didn't say anything was because I had my own ideas. To tell you the truth, I was not willing to go away like this, because we went back almost empty-handed. As far as I know, there has not been a single time in the museum's archaeological history that he returned empty-handed. Besides, this is the first time I've been in charge.

On the other hand, I think this tomb is too strange. There are at least three doubts. First, the feng shui here is particularly good, with the aura of the royal tomb, it stands to reason: it should be the place where the emperor and the general are buried. The second is that man-eating insects were found in this ancient tomb, which is a sign of the tomb of the emperor and general. Third, judging from all indications, there has never been a successful tomb robbery here.

I thought about it for a while, and said to the toad mirror: "Old Gu, let's discuss it again tonight and listen to my cousin's opinion in detail." Uncle Cousin, he doesn't have bad intentions, he also wants us to return triumphantly. ”

"Okay. In fact, the toad mirror is also unwilling. The first two times, when he participated in the excavation of the ancient tombs of the Qing Dynasty, he did not catch any oil and water. For this, he complained several times in front of me. Listening to the tone of Toad Mirror's voice, it seems that he wants to get a vote with me.

When the toad mirror heard me say this, he pushed the boat down the river and said: "What are you doing standing stupidly, each person takes a Luoyang shovel, and my cousin says that where to dig, dig there." ”

All the migrant workers took the Luoyang shovel from the car and followed Lao Xu up the nearby hillside.

I also took a Luoyang shovel, to be honest, I have never used a Luoyang shovel, I think it is quite fresh.

I walked up to Lao Xu Tou and asked, "Uncle Cousin, do you think there is an ancient tomb nearby?"

"Nonsense! I don't think there's an ancient tomb nearby, let's dig it up. Old Xu Tou glared at me again.

I thought to myself: Since I met this old Xu Tou, although it has only been a few days, I have been glared at by him no less than a hundred times.
