Chapter 16: The Eyeballs in the Water Tomb
"Tell me about it!"
The fat man rubbed his hands excitedly, no less than the gossip group at the head of the village.
The boatman looked up at the sky for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about something.
"Bizarre thing, we have a big hole, it's weird."
"What big pit?"
The fat man hurriedly asked.
As soon as I heard about the big pit, my heart instantly became interested, maybe the big pit he said was also a tomb.
"The weather in our place was very strange, drought and drought, waterlogging and dying, and one day, we suddenly had a heavy rain
The rain washed out a big pit in the mountain behind us, and at first we thought it was a dirt pit, so we were going to fill it up to prevent the children from falling into it again
But just when everyone was about to fill in the pit with tools, as soon as they walked to the edge of the pit, our people, one after another, all fainted, and they were all sent directly to the county hospital. ”
The boatman gestured as he spoke, getting more and more excited.
"Then why don't you use a machine to fill it in?"
In fact, at this time, I suspected that this big pit was a tomb, otherwise it would not be so evil.
The boatman continued:
"I used the machine, it didn't work at all, the machine just walked to the edge of the pit, and the engine went out in an instant, and I couldn't hit the fire."
"Could it be that the machine is too old?"
The fat man asked.
"No, then we changed to a new machine, and the result was the same as before, and the engine went out as soon as we got to the pit
Dead and alive don't catch fire, and then we push the machine somewhere else, and guess what, it's on fire all at once, old monster! ”
The boatman's description of the gesture instantly aroused my interest, and I was almost sure that it was a tomb, so I hurriedly asked:
"So what happened in the end? Is it left there? ”
The boatman swallowed, and continued:
"Later, we thought, since this man can't get close, let's let the dog go down the pit and have a look, this dog is spiritual, can see things that ordinary people can't see
It has the effect of warding off evil spirits, and letting the dog go down may be able to scare away those evil spirits. ”
"Dogs?"
The fat man looked puzzled, as if to say when will this dog be able to go to the front line? Calling the PAW Team?
"Yes, dog!"
The more the boatman spoke, the more excited he became, and the stars flew all over the sky:
"We tied up the dog and lowered it down the edge of the pit, and as soon as the dog let it go, it barked as if it was frightened
We quickly pulled the dog up, and when we pulled it up, the dog was soaking wet. ”
I listened to the boatman's description, and I thought to myself, this can't be a water tomb, right? If what we're going to steal today is exactly this water tomb, we're in trouble.
This water tomb is different from the usual tomb, the ordinary tomb has a corpse cockroach and zongzi at the top, and no matter how powerful it is, there will be a bloody corpse.
But if this is a water tomb, this is dangerous, what corpses, water monkeys, ghost dumplings, corpse fireflies, one is more poisonous than the other, and if you get one casually, you may die.
So we have an old saying in our line:
"I'd rather steal ten tombs than wade through the water once!"
As long as it is stained with water tombs, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die!
The boatman, who was probably a little dry-mouthed, took a sip of water, and continued:
"We had just pulled the dog out, and suddenly the dog opened its mouth, and with a "snap", something fell out of the dog's mouth. ”
"What's that?" I hurriedly asked.
"It's not a good thing, it's just a green ball, about the size of an eyeball, and the pimples on it are like ghost drawings."
The boatman paused, then added:
"The material, I heard the descendant of our village say that it seems to be bronze!"
When I heard it, I felt that the ball he was talking about, I seemed to have seen it somewhere.
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and the fat man seemed to realize something.
Isn't that the bronze eyeball that the big gold tooth gave me?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly took out the bronze eyeball and brought it to the boatman's eyes:
"Come on, brother, take a look, the ball you said looks like this."
The boatman took the bronze eyeballs and looked at them carefully, and suddenly shouted:
"It's it, exactly like this one! Even the pimple on it is the same! ”
So saying, the boatman pulled out another bronze eyeball from the mezzanine of his clothes.
I put the two together, just one for the left eye and the other for the right eye.
When the big gold tooth heard the movement, he instantly came over:
"Oops! I didn't expect this thing to be a couple, and when your father gave it to me, he didn't tell me there was another one! ”
I looked closely, and noticed that the eyeballs seemed to be looking in some direction, and the more I looked at them, the more strange they became, as if they had just popped out of their sockets.
But then I felt that something was wrong, and I said that this one was in the desert where birds don't, and the other was in Antarctica, thousands of miles away.
These two eyeballs are so far apart, how did they just come together?
Another point, since there is a connection between these two eyeballs, does it mean that my father also came to this water tomb back then?
So how did he get to Antarctica again?
A bunch of questions kept popping up in my head.
Just as I was pondering, a move by the boatman immediately pulled my mind back.
The boatman was so fascinated by the sight of me that he asked for the bronze eyeball back.
and put it in the compartment of his clothes:
"I found this thing, and I can only show it to you, not take it."
The boatman's operation can make the fat man on the side anxious:
"Hey, I mean, why did you old man change his face so quickly? Just now I wanted to praise you for being a good person, where are you doing now? ”
The boatman clutched the compartment of his clothes tightly for fear that we would snatch it for him.
I smiled, and said in my heart, I'm afraid this old man didn't learn to change his face, right? If I'm interested in it, I'll just take it.
I can't even look at it, it's really unseemly, and the sea is incomprehensible.
I pursed my lips and winked at the fat man, then at the big gold tooth.
The fat man instantly understood the meaning, lowered his head and coughed lightly, and then walked towards the big gold tooth in small steps.
The big gold tooth is not stupid, and when he saw this formation, he hurriedly stepped back:
"Fat man, don't take it, if you take it again, you really won't even have bitter tea left, I'll invite you to eat hot pot when you're done, okay?" Leave me alone! ”
So saying, he retreated to the edge of the boat, and the fat man saw the right moment to take off the coat of the big gold tooth.
Four gold bars were pulled out of it.
I was immediately happy when I saw it, and said that this big gold tooth put gold bars on his body all day long, and he was not too heavy, he was really addicted to money.
As soon as the big gold tooth saw that the coat had been snatched away, and the old bottom was stripped of nothing, he "plopped" on the boat, and began to splash:
"You dead fat man, you are really shameless! I can be alone in the pit, you wait for me, I will steal the ancestral tomb for you! ”
The big gold tooth lay on the boat, crying and rolling, like a child.
The fat man ignored the big gold tooth and handed the four gold bars to the boatman.
When the boatman saw it, his eyes lit up, but his hands were still protecting the bronze eyes, and he had no intention of changing them.
"Not enough?"
The fat man looked shocked:
"You're too greedy, aren't you? The old bottoms of the people have been lifted out, what more do you want! ”
The boatman suddenly looked at the fat man, and then he made me look at the big gold tooth.
The big gold tooth was so frightened by this look that he trembled.
The fat man also glanced at the big gold tooth, and then gave the boatman a thumbs up with a shocked face:
"You're still ruthless!"
