Chapter 81: Can You Move to My Room and Sleep Tonight?
No one bothered him, and I didn't bother to bother.
Following Wei Lingzhi up to the small mound full of thatched grass more than half a meter high, he squatted to the northwest corner, squatted down and picked up a worn-out straw mat on the ground, and a hole appeared in the ground.
"It's ......"
"I just praised you for your talent, but I didn't expect to slap myself in the face so soon."
Wei Lingzhi sighed and shook his head.
"What do you mean? Speech is slurred. β
"Didn't I tell you last night that the three-legged golden toad originally lived in some ancient tombs with water in the grave pits, and only a few of them ran into the Yellow River because of this heavy rain."
"Of course I remember......," I didn't finish my sentence before I understood what he meant, "is there an ancient tomb down here?" β
"In order to find a suitable coffin, I drilled dozens of ancient tombs in a few months, and at that time, I found a small tadpole of the golden toad in the pit of this tomb.
As he spoke, he bent down and went down.
Cheng Blind did not hesitate, and also bent down to go down the hole.
"What about the two of you?"
Wang Manyu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I...... I'm still waiting on it! β
The cousin seemed to be very hesitant, a little entangled, and shook his head with a wry smile: "I really want to make money, but the premise of making money is to have a life." "I know that my cousin has been afraid of ghosts since he was a child, and he is also terribly afraid of things like graves and coffins.
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way." You're right! β
With that, I also went into the hole.
This is still a "three-room and one-hall" grave pit, it must have belonged to a large family in ancient times, the water in the grave is not up to the knees, and the two of them are holding candles and are bending down to find the three-legged golden toad.
Wei Lingzhi handed me a candle and said softly: "Although this is a tomb, the dead are not terrible, the most terrible thing is the human heart!" β
After all this experience, I think he has a point.
The foul smell of decay in the air in the black water beneath the grave, and the sight of the coffin boards and other unrecognizable things floating on the surface of the water, I was not afraid, but I was disgusted.
The light in the tomb was dim, the water was turbid, and the toad was very flexible in the water, and several people searched for more than ten minutes before they caught one from behind a coffin board, and after looking for nearly twenty minutes, Cheng Blind and Wei Lingzhi fell directly into the black water, turned into clay figures, and finally caught the other one.
Drilling out of the grave and seeing the three-legged golden toad in the bucket, Wang Manyu opened his mouth in shock, and his cousin's eyes widened.
We parted at the gate of the abandoned factory, Wei Lingzhi took the golden toad to cure the evil disease of Brother Dajun, and a few of us drove back to Wang Manyu's house first.
Along the way, my cousin beat around the bush, and the topic always revolved around the fact that we had just caught the golden toad in the grave, and I could hear that this kid had already regretted it, and he must have been thinking about the wealth of "one fifty thousand, two hundred thousand".
When I got back to the city, I gave another 35,000 yuan to my cousin and told him to hurry home and go to school.
I have to go back to the ferry factory first, it's been a few weeks, I haven't worked a day in the ferry factory, although Xue Chunshan is carrying, but I feel embarrassed.
Wang Manyu also has to deal with the affairs of her own company quickly, she wants to hold a shareholders' meeting, and then hire a professional manager to manage it.
It rained heavily a few days ago, and the colleagues in the ferry factory were very busy, and they have only been a little free since yesterday.
Before returning to the factory, I now bought more than a dozen Nanjing Xuanhemen cigarettes in a nearby supermarket, five boxes of Niulanshan Erguotou, drove Wang Manyu's car, and directly moved the things to the factory director's office.
"Brother Xue, I have a lot of personal affairs during this time, I always ask for leave, buy something for my colleagues to share, and put the rest in your office and keep it for someone to smoke!"
Seeing so many things, Xue Chunshan's eyes straightened.
"Good! Good! Brother is busy with something, you don't have more than such a big factory, you don't have a lot less, you can do it if you have something to do. β
Xue Chunshan counted the amount of cigarettes and alcohol with his eyes, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.
"Brother, if you don't speak first, I'm really embarrassed to say, my matter hasn't been dealt with yet, and I have to go to Qingdao in a hurry, so ......"
"Oh! Just go, is a week enough? It's not enough for half a month. β
"It should be enough."
I actually didn't have anything to say to Xue Chunshan, after all, I didn't have much time to get along, so I didn't know each other too well, so I had nothing to say.
"What's going on in the factory in the last few days?"
Xue Chunshan nodded: "There is nothing in the factory, but a strange female corpse was fished out in the Yellow River the morning before yesterday." β
I smiled: "With such a heavy rain, it's a strange thing to salvage a female corpse!" β
"You don't know! Brother, not long after the body was fished up, she came back to life. β
"Maybe it's just drowning and fainting, but everyone rescued in time, and the person woke up again."
As soon as I finished speaking, I was caught off guard, and Xue Chunshan slapped the table suddenly: "No! Then we got in touch with her family, and guess what? β
"What's wrong?" I asked casually.
"Her family said she was rowing at the mouth of the Yellow River a month ago when she accidentally fell into the water, and after several days of searching, the final conclusion was that it was washed into the sea by the current, and may have been eaten by large fish."
"Ahh But ......"
I threw myself into Xue Chunshan's narration and wanted to ask him what happened to him, but she burst out laughing, so that I didn't know for a while whether what she said was true or not.
There are too many things I've encountered these days, and as long as they don't find me, I don't bother to worry about it.
After chatting a few words else, since the goal was achieved, I didn't want to stay longer, so I drove back to Wang Manyu's house to have dinner with her.
Wang Manyu wanted to cook by himself, and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening after the two of them finished eating and cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.
In the evening, the two of them sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while, maybe because they were getting acquainted with each other, this time I didn't feel embarrassed, so I deliberately told several ghost stories, what kind of old corpse in the mountain village hated revenge, what an embroidered shoe, frightened Wang Manyu exclaimed for a while, and curled up into the corner of the sofa.
Finally, at ten o'clock in the evening, watching Wang Manyu rub her eyes and yawn, I knew that I had created an atmosphere of fear.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!
"I ...... I'm sleepy! β
"Hmmm! It's not early, go to sleep! I'll go back to my bedroom right away. β
"But ......"
"What?"
"I'm scared!"
"Scaredβand then?"
"Either you move to my bedroom tonight and sleep!"
"This ...... How can this work? Lonely men and widows, at your age, my age, I can't promise to do anything to you when I can't help it. β
Wang Manyu lowered his head, his face was as red as a persimmon, and he bit his lower lip vigorously, and his coquettish appearance was pitiful.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became three points awkward and seven points ambiguous.
