The little boy struggled desperately, but was picked up by the man, put it in front of Lin Xiaoyu, and said with a smile: "Beauty, I'm sorry, this kid is so virtuous, how about we talk?" ”

Lin Xiaoyu was about to continue the interrogation, but I stopped her, holding a bronze box in my hand and shaking it in front of the little boy, "Child, how about this thing for me?" ”

The little boy glanced at me, then glanced at Lin Xiaoyu on the side, and said angrily: "Don't sell it, you and her are in the same group." ”

The black tall man smiled and said, "The two of these kids' things are worthless, they are all things that are not in the flow, if you want to find something, I can introduce you to our storeroom." ”

I handed the box to Lin Xiaoyu and said, "This box has been opened, and there is a trace of inlay on it, which is estimated to be re-inlaid after the person who received the news at that time opened it." ”

Lin Xiaoyu carefully examined the traces on the box and nodded, "Do you think it will be with ours-" She didn't continue, in order to prevent her words from slipping out. I smiled, "It's such a coincidence, but since it's a clue, you should take care of it." ”

I took out my wallet from my pocket, took out five hundred yuan and stuffed it into the little boy's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, why do you have to be so outside." The little boy tugged at the money in his hand, swallowed his saliva, felt that the money was full of weight, and stammered, "Okay, okay, I'll sell it to you this time!" ”

When the tall black man on the side saw that I had given him so much money, he immediately became impatient and said with a smile, "Young man, how can this broken box be worth so much money." Why don't I take you in and see what gets into your eyes? ”

"Do you know what this thing is?"

"I know, how can I not know!" Hei Gao said in a sneering voice, "Isn't it just a message box, this kind of thing has been there since the Han Dynasty, and it is said that it is to deliver top-secret news." This kind of thing is not valuable, no one buys this kind of thing in the market, it has no collection value, isn't it. ”

"Do you still have anything in the store?"

"It's really gone, we have all kinds of strange things in our store, and I also made this thing a few years ago, but then the boss thought that this thing was sold without business!"

I knew that there was no drama for Brother Dog, so I had to target the little boy. Lin Xiaoyu was eager to find out the clues from the little boy, and was about to ask, but I stopped her again, "What are you doing, do you want me to ask?" ”

"Will he tell you if you ask him that?" I admonished, "This kind of thing is supposed to be known as little as possible, otherwise wouldn't his treasure be emptied?" ”

"But?"

"Hey, listen to me."

I motioned for her to reassure. As I spoke, I gave him a few more bills, and then I mysteriously pulled the little boy to the side and said with a smile, "Does this dog uncle often bully you?" As soon as the little boy heard me talk about Uncle Dog bullying him, he scolded loudly: "He bullied me when I was young, so he gave me dozens of dollars, you see how generous this big brother is, give me hundreds at once!" Hum! ”

I smiled at Lin Xiaoyu, the corners of my mouth showed a smug look, and I suddenly narrowed the distance between me and the little boy. I also pretended to be angry: "It's too dark indeed! How can there be such a bully? ”

Taking advantage of the little boy's inattention, I beckoned to Lin Xiaoyu and whispered a few words in her ear sideways. Lin Xiaoyu immediately understood, and said with a smile, "Little brother, we both came here for a vacation in the mountains, but it seems that we don't have hotels or farmhouses here?" We couldn't find a place to stay, and I don't know if you could take us to your house for one night. ”

The little boy was still a little hesitant, and I immediately stuffed another banknote, "Not in vain!" ”

Sure enough, he immediately laughed happily, put the thick stack of banknotes in his trouser pocket, and said proudly: "No wonder you can't find a place to live, you have to walk up to the hotel if you want to stay in the hotel." My family runs a farmhouse, right on the opposite hillside. It's really your luck that you ran into me today. ”

"Yes, yes, otherwise we wouldn't dare to come out in this wilderness."

"Hey, kid, what's your name?"

"My name is GI."

"Soldier, this name is interesting, you look like a soldier!"

"Hehe, my mother always says that about me!"

As soon as I thought of staying at the farmhouse, I was happy, there are countless wild animals in this mountain, fresh and nutritious, and the more I think about it, the more I think about it, the more energetic I become. By noon, the sun was already so strong that I was so uncomfortable that I complained, "No, I need to take a shower." ”

"GI, do you have a hot shower at home?"

"It's okay to take a bath, but you have to pick the water yourself." He pointed to the cemetery down the road, "Whoa, the canal is there!" ”

I squinted my eyes with one hand to cover the sun and saw a cemetery under the hillside, "Good fellow, how did your village build a canal in the cemetery?" ”

"No way, a few years ago, the water in our village was directly connected to our home from the reservoir on the mountain, but I don't know why the water in the reservoir ran out after a flash flood, and there was no way to know that an aqueduct was built at the bottom of the mountain. The land in the south of our village can be used to build canals, and the rest is sloping land and cannot be used. ”

Lin Xiaoyu looked at me embarrassedly, "Then isn't it very inconvenient for you guys, you still have to go in and out of this cemetery every day." ”

"It's good to get used to it!" The GI smiled and said, "It's okay, if you're afraid I can help you carry water, but the salary will have to be calculated separately!" ”

"You've taken so much money from me, it's still money?"

"One yard to one yard, for the sake of you, I'll charge you half price!"

Lin Xiaoyu whispered to me, "Did you say that the water is clean, and there won't be a corpse smell?" She looked at me worriedly, her heart fluttering.

"No, it's all cremation now, the coffin is full of ashes, how can there be a corpse smell!"

"But I always feel sick."

The soldier's farmhouse was a three-story building, with three large characters written in paint on one wall: Farmhouse. The interior layout is OK, each room has a TV, a bed and a small bathroom. In the past, there was hot water in the bathroom, but now you need to carry your own water to boil water in the boiler downstairs before you can take a hot shower.

The soldier's mother entertained me and Lin Xiaoyu, and she was embarrassed to return the money to me, but I stopped it, saying that it was unreasonable to take out the money and wanted it back. When it was time to eat, I began to ask around. The soldier's mother specially killed a local chicken for the two of us, saying that it was to entertain distinguished guests.

"I said, lady, what's the matter with you here, how did you build a canal in a cemetery?"

"That's no way!" The soldier's mother smiled, "We used to have running water here, but a few years ago, there was a mudslide in the mountains, and the bottom of the reservoir was empty, and the whole reservoir was drained!" More than 100 coffins were rushed out of the mountain, and the government immediately came to investigate, saying that our village was an ancient tomb and that we wanted to move our village! ”

"Move away?"

"Yes, how can we agree to this, we have lived here for generations, we can't say that we will move away, but the government will not build a reservoir for us, there is no way for us to build our own canals!"

Lin Xiaoyu looked at her sympathetically and comforted, "Fortunately, your life is quite nourishing, and I think your family's business should not be bad." ”

The soldier's mother said proudly, "We people in the mountains are not afraid of hardship, roll up our sleeves and do it." A few years ago, I heard that farmhouses can get rich, and her father is the village party secretary, so my family first set up it in the village, which can be regarded as an example for the villagers! ”

"Don't look at my small shop, people who come and go here live in our house, you must also be here to hunt for treasures."

"Hey, we're trying our luck in this antique market down there."

"The antique market down here, the water is very deep, it has only been built for a few years, and the business is very good, I heard the people in our village say that nine times out of ten the things in it are from this ancient tomb in our village!"

I glanced at the GI who was eating at the small table next to me and thought, "It seems that his mother didn't know about the GI digging in the tomb." ”

"And then, no one came to your village to hunt for treasure or anything?"

"Yes, how can you not?" When the soldier's mother talked about this, she immediately became nervous, "I can tell you, don't keep spreading the word, the government's archaeological team also came here a few days ago, stayed at my house for one night and left." I also heard a few people in it talk about it, and they said that there is a ghost tomb down here, and it is very evil! ”

"Oh?" The more I listened, the more interesting it became, and I took a big sip of beer and asked, "How?" ”

"Guess what, good fellow, I heard the man say, digging out a skull that is not as big as a fist, and it contains three big boxes!"

"Not big enough for a fist?" Lin Xiaoyu's surprised look was no less than that of the proprietress, she looked at Lin Kun's thoughtful eyes, and couldn't calm down in her heart for a long time, "Could it be a child's head?" They sacrifice small children? ”

"Pocket skeletons?" Four words came to my mind, and the beer can in my hand rattled. I reached into the bag and felt it, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. Lin Xiaoyu asked, "What are you looking for?" ”

"Compass."

Lin Xiaoyu smiled, "You're so funny, don't forget to bring a compass when you go out." ”

I finally managed to find the compass, so I rushed out and ran to the open space outside, staring at the compass and moving its bearings.

My suddenly nervous expression also made Lin Xiaoyu frown, as if something big was about to happen.

There were no stars in the broad daylight, I looked up and only felt that the sun was spicy in my eyes, and when I opened my eyes again, Lin Xiaoyu had already walked over. It would have been a breeze for me to divide the money, but I couldn't calm down for a while, and I was as emotional as an ant on a hot pot.
