Commander Chen caught Zhuang Ding and caught Fuxitang, Mao Xiaofang was kind to people, not like Qiu Ba, and the two apprentices Ma Xiaohai and Yu Dachu were more filial and worked on behalf of the master.

Hundreds of young men were taken to a wasteland by Commander Chen, digging three feet into the ground, the direction was very clear, and they did not dig up the mines that Commander Chen said, but dug up a pile of dry bones.

At the end of the evening, Ma Xiaohai and Yu Dachu returned to Fuxi Hall, cleaning their hands while telling what happened during the day.

"Master, I don't think this Commander Chen's drunkard is not meant to drink, but has other plans. We dug for several days, but we didn't find a single mine, and today we dug up a lot of dry bones. ”

"Not only that, but there's a tomb in the pile of dry bones."

Mao Xiaofang's expression moved, and he asked, "What tomb?" ”

Ma Xiaohai said vaguely: "It seems to be the tomb of a Qing Dynasty general." ”

Yu Dachu guessed: "Master, did you say that the purpose of Commander Chen was to find this general's tomb?" ”

Mao Xiaofang pondered for a moment and advised: "Don't guess, what they are looking for has nothing to do with us, just do your own thing." The food is hot in the pot, and I have to rest early after eating, and I have to go to work tomorrow. ”

"Got it, Master."

Yu Dachu looked at Mao Xiaofang's back, lowered his voice and said, "Senior brother, do you say that the master knows something, I feel that every word he says has a deep meaning." ”

"Don't guess, it's not about us."

"Isn't it, don't you be curious about master's words to perfunctory me?"

"Not curious."

"Not curious at all?"

"It's true that you're hungry, aren't you hungry?"

"I'm hungry."

"That's all this nonsense."

Yu Dachu guessed very accurately, Mao Xiaofang did have some clues. Like Uncle Jiu, he is proficient in mountain medicine and other strange miscellaneous studies, and his talent and diligence are above Uncle Jiu, so each of them has high attainments, combined with what Ma Xiaohai and Yu Dachu said, he is already ninety percent sure of the purpose of Commander Chen and others.

In the room of the inn, Commander Chen slammed his fist on the table, and said with a worried brow: "After digging for so many days, I haven't even dug up the shadow of Cixi's treasure, when will I dig it?" ”

Adjutant Xu picked up the map and suddenly said, "Commander, could the whereabouts of Cixi's tomb be related to the words above?" ”

"Words?" Commander Chen looked at it, "Panlong is afraid to swallow himself...... What do these four sentences mean? ”

Adjutant Xu smiled bitterly and said: "Commander, the words are profound and obscure, where can I figure it out, I have to find a professional." ”

"You're saying it's simple, where can I find a professional?"

"Commander, I heard that there is a master of the Tao in Fuxi Hall in Gantian Town, and he may be able to unravel the above words."

"Not sooner." Commander Chen blamed and shouted: "Come on, prepare a gift!" Gifts! ”

Mao Xiaofang and the three of them had already fallen asleep, and when they heard a knock on the door, they got up and shook their clothes and opened the door to welcome guests.

Commander Chen is demanding, his attitude is modest and respectful, his words are sincere, and his shyness is abundant, Mao Xiaofang knows that the weasel is uneasy and kind to the chicken, so he refuses to accept it, and said politely: "Commander Chen, if you have something to say, I will definitely help if you can help." ”

"Haha." Commander Chen waved his hand to rebuke the salute soldiers, and gave a thumbs up: "Mao Dao is noble, and I won't hide it." Don't hide it from Daoist Mao, I got a map of the mines, there are four sentences on it, which is incomprehensible, and I want to ask Daoist Mao to explain one or two on his behalf. Adjutant Xu. ”

Adjutant Xu handed the copied Yan to Mao Xiaofang, Mao Xiaofang opened it and looked at it, pondered it slightly, his face couldn't help but change slightly, folded it again, and said: "The Yan is more obscure, I need to turn the book to check it, and there is news to inform you." ”

Chen Junchang said happily: "It's troublesome Mao Dao, put down the gifts, let's go." ”

Mao Xiaofang said: "Commander Chen, take the gift away." ”

Commander Chen laughed, thinking that Mao Xiaofang was too polite, motioned for the soldiers to take it away, and left a sentence before going out, "After the matter is completed, Chen will definitely thank you." ”

After a group of Qiu Ba left, Mao Xiaofang crumpled the words into a ball and threw them into the garbage basket casually, Yu Dachu exclaimed and hurriedly picked them up, "Master, why did you throw it away, what should I do if Commander Chen comes again?" ”

Mao Xiaofang said: "It's just that you can't get rid of it." ”

Ma Xiaohai was surprised: "Master, since you can't solve it, why do you want to take it?" ”

"Who says I can't solve it?"

"You've already untied it?"

"The place shown in the words is by no means a good place, and there are endless troubles when you find it, so if you can solve it, I won't help them solve it. It's late, go back to sleep. ”

Yu Dachu pursed his lips, his heart was like a cat scratching, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep for a long time, so he simply came to the courtyard with his coat on, sat on the stone bench and frowned and pondered.

In the dead of night, Ma Xiaohai got up to go to the toilet at night, saw Yu Dachu, and asked: "Ah Chu, if you don't sleep at night, what are you doing here?" ”

Yu Dachu turned his head to look at Ma Xiaohai, and said absentmindedly: "It's senior brother, why don't you sleep?" ”

"I'll go to the bathroom." Ma Xiaohai picked up the paper ball on the stone table, opened it, and said with a smile: "You are still thinking about the matter of the words, the master has said it, and it has nothing to do with us." ”

"I can't sleep, try to solve it, maybe I can find the treasure?"

"Treasure, let's talk about sleep."

Ma Xiaohai couldn't help laughing, and also became a little interested, and sat with Yu Dachu to meditate, but Mao Xiaofang's voice came from behind him, and both of them were startled.

"Xiaohai, Ah Chu, you two don't sleep, what are you doing here?"

"Master......"

Yu Dachu was afraid that Ma Xiaohai would tell the truth, and was scolded by Mao Xiaofang, so he preemptively said: "We got up and went to the thatched house, and we happened to bump into each other, and sat and chatted for a while." By the way, Master, why haven't you slept? ”

Mao Xiaofang said thoughtfully: "I saw an interesting thing in a book. ”

"What's interesting?"

"When some snakes lay their eggs, they dig a pit under their bodies, and then bury their eggs in the pit and bury them with soil, do you think it's funny?"

Yu Dachu and Ma Xiaohai smiled dryly: "It's so interesting! ”

Mao Xiaofang glanced at the two of them, shook his head and said, "Two elm heads, play the piano to the cow, go to bed early." ”

"Yes, Master."

Seeing Mao Xiaofang leave, Yu Dachu continued to think about the words, his eyes swept over the first line of words, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he exclaimed: "I know." ”

Ma Xiaohai was stunned: "What do you know?" ”

Yu Dachu said excitedly: "Look at this sentence, Panlong is forced to swallow himself, that is, that place is under the general's tomb, and the last three sentences refer to the direction." ”

"That's right!" Ma Xiaohai slapped his thigh, and then said deflatedly: "What's the use of knowing, Master won't let us meddle in our affairs." ”

"Senior brother, if Master doesn't want to care, why did he deliberately talk about the snake laying eggs, maybe he just wanted to guide us to find that place. Take the guys. ”

"What for?"

"Dig it."
