Chapter 15: Accidental landslide kills
Lao Wan was so difficult in the pit that it was difficult to even turn around, and the pit had been dug like a dry well. Wang Defa didn't feel that Lao Wan was so obedient today, looking at Lao Wan and the high-legged stool at the bottom of the pit, Wang Defa also felt unbearable.
"Lao Wan, you fool, come up, come up, don't dig!"
Lao Wan didn't speak, and looked up at Wang Defa, to confirm that Wang Defa really wanted him to come up.
Wang Defa understood Lao Wan's thoughts, squatted down and stretched out his hand and said, "Come up, let you come up, you will come up!" ”
Lao Wan still didn't speak, and slowly stepped on the high-legged stool, Wang Defa reached out and grabbed him and dragged him up. The two of them looked at each other face to face at the entrance of the cave, Wang Defa took out the dry food he brought and gave Lao Wan half of it, and the two of them solved the stomach problem with a mouthful of steamed buns and water.
Now Wang Defa is also in a dilemma, continue to dig, I don't know what the result is, if you don't dig now, then there will be no result. He was very melancholy, and his head kept wondering what the hell was wrong. To say that according to Lao Yin and Yang's statement, the location must be correct now, and he is not blind, this place is indeed the place where the sunset shines for the last time. Judging from the place where he had already dug up the treasure, Lao Yinyang's words were definitely worth believing.
Wang De looked into the distance in a daze, standing on this apricot forest, he could see the river at the foot of the mountain, as well as the naturally exposed tombs on both sides of the river, which looked very eye-catching under the washing of the river.
Just when he was at a loss, there was a tomb on the bank of the river that gave Wang Defa an epiphany. The place where the river has washed away the fault is clear, and it is obvious that the burial chamber is not directly facing the shaft where the hole was dug, but after the burial pit has been dug and then a hole is dug horizontally for the coffin.
Wang Defa understood, completely understood, these days, he only cares about digging down, and then digging like this may be out of the groundwater, with this current depth, Wang Defa thinks that enough, should be dug horizontally at the bottom of the pit, in which direction? In the direction of the setting sun.
Wang Defa picked up the shovel beside him, found a big stone, put the shovel on the stone, and then stepped down, and the shovel handle was divided into two and halved. The bottom of the pit was narrow, and now it had to be dug horizontally, and such a long shovel handle could not be used underneath at all, so it had to be shortened.
"Lao Wan, come here to transport the soil, I'll go down and dig for a while! Do you hear that? ”
Lao Wan didn't speak, he pulled a slingshot and aimed at the bird.
"Lao Wan, you fool, come here to work! Look at the broken bird again, and your arm will be discounted! Wang Defa threatened loudly. When Lao Wan heard this, he just didn't want to speak, and when he saw that Wang Defa was going to discount his arm, he reluctantly walked to the entrance of the cave and prepared to start transporting away the new soil that had been dug up.
Seeing that Lao Wan moved, Wang Defa immediately went into the pit. The direction of the sun's setting, Wang Defa already knew it by heart, and began to do it after going down. About every five or six minutes, Lao Wan had to pull up a basket of soil from the hole. After Wang De realized the truth of digging horizontally, the whole person was full of strength, and he couldn't wait to sweep this place and turn it over to see what was valuable.
For Wang Defa, in front of Lao Wan, he was already blatantly digging graves, but in Lao Wan's eyes, no matter how deep this hole was dug, it was digging a tree pit.
Lao Wan's biggest wish is to marry a daughter-in-law, as long as he sees a woman walking on the road, if he is interested, he will shout to people from afar: "Raise a doll!" Most of the little daughters-in-law couldn't stand such a provocation, and when they heard this, they covered their faces and turned their heads and ran away; The slightly older ones were not ashamed to hear this, and spit to Lao Wan from afar and said, "Go and daydream." Lao Wan was not angry, and repeated in his mouth: "What about raising dolls, raising dolls......", and walked away.
Before Wang Defa asked Lao Wan to see the apricot orchard, Lao Wan's life today is a repetition of yesterday, and tomorrow is a repetition of today, he doesn't need to think about who he is, where he comes from, and where he is going. Lao Wan lives a very simple life, but he can't understand the joys, sorrows and sorrows of a normal person, and never will.
On the contrary, Wang Defa gave Lao Wan a salary of 200 yuan per month, which made Lao Wan feel that he was still a little useful. Lao Wan's first two hundred yuan, he went to the street to buy six buckwheat dough dough, one for each family, and he didn't know what to do with the rest of the money, so he hid it in the soles of his shoes and saved it, shouting every day to raise dolls.
Wang Defa dug hard in the hole, looked down from the hole, Wang Defa could not be seen, only half of the shovel stick moved regularly at the bottom of the cave, and the horizontal pit at the bottom of the cave had been dug to fit himself. Stuffy and aggrieved, Wang Defa dug at the bottom of the cave for about an hour, couldn't hold it anymore, and climbed out of the high-legged stool to rest.
"Lao Wan, come here, drink water, eat some dry food!" Wang Defa rested, Lao Wan had no soil to transport, and the two sat together on the mound at the entrance of the cave, you looked at me, I looked at you, and didn't say anything.
Wang De found that he was very suspicious of his own grave-digging skills, and according to his own words, he was now a headless fly, with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, without any purpose. He can't be blamed for this, after all, he's not a professional person who does this job. He reached for a snakeskin bag beside him, put it on the mound of dirt, and lay down. He was so tired that he felt a little deprived of oxygen, and if he stayed down for a while, he wouldn't even have the strength to climb out.
Since there is no result yet, it is better to squint for a while. When people are sleepy, even if they can only squint for more than ten minutes, they feel very energetic. Wang Defa couldn't take care of Lao Wan, so he squinted.
After lying down for about half an hour, Wang Defa woke up, because he knew that if he couldn't dig up something, when it was going to get dark, he would be busy all day today.
"Lao Wan, where are you?" Wang Defa woke up and looked around, and couldn't find Lao Wan, so he shouted loudly. Eighty percent went to hunt birds again, Wang Defa was about to get up to look for it, and when he walked to the hole he dug, he saw someone inside. Wang Defa jumped, squatted down and took a closer look, it was Lao Wan below, half of his body was in the horizontal hole, and he didn't know what he was doing.
"Lao Wan, what are you doing? Who told you to go down? Wang Defa became nervous, muttering in his heart, could it be that Lao Wan knew that he was digging treasures? After squinting for half an hour, should Lao Wan take the lead and wait for this good opportunity to go down the hole?
"Lao Wan, you second fool, you come up for me! Come up! ”
Lao Wan hunched his waist, and his pouting ass came out of the horizontal hole first.
"Lao Wan, you turtle grandson, who let you go down?" Wang De was furious.
"You get up for Lao Tzu!"
"I won't go up, it's fun in the cave, don't go up." Lao Wan looked up at Wang Defa, looking like a lai.
Wang Defa couldn't do anything about him, but Lao Wan's answer made him breathe a sigh of relief, this fool was just for fun, and he had no other ideas. The hole was too small to accommodate two people, and there was no way to pull Lao Wan up, so Wang Defa had no choice, so he threw down the short shovel.
"If you don't come up, take the shovel and dig underneath, and if you don't dig it, come up for me."
Wang Defa's patience also has a limit, and he scolded Lao Wan loudly.
Lao Wan also definitely fought for himself, and took a shovel and dug it underneath. The two completely switched roles, and Wang Defa began to pull the soil from the hole net with a basket. Lao Wan is digging underneath with great joy, what's wrong with this fool today, is it possible that he has opened his mind.
The sun in the west was getting lower and lower, and Wang Defa wanted to go down to see if Lao Wan had dug something, but this fool couldn't come up alive or dead, so he could only circle around the hole in a hurry. The soil piled up at the entrance of the cave is surrounded, like an enlarged ant nest, Lao Wan should move the soil to the side if he is on it, Wang Defa does not want to move, Lao Wan dug up more and more soil, blocked at the entrance of the cave.
The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill, and when there was an avalanche, not a single snowflake was innocent, which is not bad at all. When Wang Defa poured the soil pulled up from the cave at the entrance of the cave for the last time, tragedy struck. The soil surrounding the entrance of the cave began to collapse into the cave like Wang De's attack, and in an instant, it poured down like a waterfall.
"Lao Wan, Lao Wan, come out of the horizontal hole!" Wang Defa shouted Lao Wan loudly, and quickly used his hands and feet to quickly remove the falling soil. But it was too late, Wang Defa watched the soil fall down, and Lao Wan in the horizontal cave had no concept of danger at all.
In less than a minute, all the soil that can fall down will fall, and the dust at the bottom of the cave will slowly disappear, Wang Defa is dumbfounded when he sees all this, the mouth of the horizontal cave is buried, and he can't see Lao Wan at all, he was stunned for a few seconds, Wang Defa picked up Lao Wan's shovel, jumped into the hole and began to dig the soil, he wanted to dig Lao Wan out quickly. The hole is too small, and the shovel can't be picked up at all, and the soil thrown at the mouth of the hole will fall down, and Lao Wan can't be dug out at all.
Time passed minute by minute, Wang Defa couldn't hear any movement from Lao Wan, he wanted to hurry back to the team to find a few people, but this time, more than half an hour passed, Wang Defa shouted Lao Wan in his mouth, and plowed the soil like crazy with his hands. But what's the use, the more you toss, the more solid the empty soil.
Wang Defa suddenly relieved himself, Lao Wan was buried. What can I do? When a person is helpless to the point of despair, there is nothing to fear. Wang Defa crawled out of the hole and trotted all the way to the team, he was going to find someone to dig up Lao Wan together. Along the way, Wang Defa kept asking himself: "Is Lao Wan dead?" ", "Lao Wan won't die", "Lao Wan is still alive", walked all the way, muttered all the way, obviously he was scared and lost his soul.
This way, Wang Defa is being tested, and along the way, Lao Wan's life and death are uncertain. If Lao Wan really died, it would be in the hole he dug with his own hands, and he would be relieved. If Lao Wan really died, Wang Defa would be completely finished, a human life, how could he pay it back? A fool's life is also his life, Lao Wan's father is honest, but his nephew who is a good thing eats the country's food.
Wang De panicked, he didn't know what to do, and at this time he responded to that sentence, the dead are a hundred, and the living are in pain. Lao Wan is alive or dead in that horizontal hole? can only look at creation, but if you have to wait until Wang Defa brings people back, Lao Wan's life is slim.
