Chapter 334: Sudden Fire
Mengshan Turtle said: "What, did he say it on a whim on his own, or did something big happen by accident and someone finally saw through his secret?"
Xiao Qingfeng said: "You guessed right, it was an accidental fire that allowed outsiders to finally discover some of his secrets. It is said that on a midsummer evening, I don't know if it was the dry weather and the naughty boy playing with fire, or some other reason, the wheat field in the village suddenly caught fire. At that time, the wheat field was surrounded by stacks of wheat straw, and it happened that the wind was strong that day, and the fire suddenly broke out, and there was no time to extinguish it. Fortunately, the people at that time had not closed the door to sleep, and after receiving the news of the fire, everyone quickly filled their buckets with water and rushed to the wheat field where the accident occurred to put out the fire. You must know that at that time, most of the houses in the village were still old 'four-cornered green' tiled houses, which were easily led by the flames that blew over. In addition, each household also stores a large amount of flammable dry firewood for cooking, which would be a real problem if the fire was to start. ”
The doll said: "No, at that time, there were no wires and gas in the old houses in the countryside, all of them were old-fashioned stone houses, why were they so easy to catch fire?"
Lone wolf said: "You little doll, or how to say it, you don't understand the actual situation at that time." At that time, although most of the rural areas did not have electric wires, liquefied gas and natural gas, the tops of those houses were made of straw or even thatch and some thick wooden beams. After a long time, those things are already very dry, and once they encounter an open flame, they will burn quickly. Moreover, at that time, every household had some wooden doors and windows, which were also very easy to burn. If you think about it, plus the firewood that each family has kept for fuel all year round, if it were suddenly lured, it would be a terrible situation. Therefore, at that time, every household would use large tanks and other containers to store a large amount of well water on weekdays, in order to prevent the outbreak of accidental fires. And as long as a fire is found, no matter what time it is, no matter who it is, everyone must rush to the scene to extinguish the fire as soon as possible. Even if there is a great hatred between the two families, they must not stand idly by. Because everyone knows that fire and water are ruthless, if it really burns into your own home, then you will regret it. ”
Xiao Qingfeng said: "Yes, as soon as the fire broke out, almost all the young and middle-aged people in the village rushed to the scene to desperately extinguish the fire, even the remaining old and weak women and children were all helping as much as they could in the periphery. Fortunately, people had not yet fallen asleep, and soon the fire was finally extinguished with the efforts of the whole village, and did not cause more damage. But who expected that only Yang Lao Liu's yard was just on the edge of the wheat field, and it was in a downwind position, which was the first to bear the brunt, and he could be regarded as a big bad luck. A dozen or so lambs that had not had time to be rescued were burned alive inside, not to mention, his hall and side houses were also burned to ashes by the fire, and finally only a few broken stone walls were burned to smoke. ”
Laughing Maitreya said: "It's nothing, thinking that he is so famous as Yang Lao Liu, the big guy will naturally not ignore him." ”
Mengshan Turtle said: "That is, as the saying goes, 'one person is difficult to carry a thousand catties, and many people can move thousands of mountains', as long as the big guys help together, it is not trivial." Besides, Yang Laoliu's reputation is outside, maybe even some people outside will take the initiative to come over to help. ”
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
Xiao Qingfeng said: "What you said is not bad, but don't talk about you, even everyone in the village at that time did not expect that this fire would burn a big secret that no one dared to believe." ”
The little Taoist priest said, "What."
What a big secret, could it be that this guy is still underground, maybe there is a big tomb under his house?"
Xiao Qingfeng said: "Your reaction is indeed fast enough, and your imagination is indeed rich enough, you really guessed half right!"
The doll said: "No, could it be that under his little broken house, there is really something else that can't be done?"
Xiao Qingfeng said: "Yes, after the fire was completely extinguished, everyone was surprised to find the entrance to an underground dark room in the ruins. ”
Laughing Maitreya said: "What about the result, what kind of reaction did the people make at that time?"
Jing Xin said: "I think those who were surprised at that time should not immediately ask that Yang Lao Liu, because people at that time did not like to care about other people's privacy like people now." You must know that it was a period of turmoil in the past ten years, and most people were very vigilant, and most of them had the mentality that more things are definitely better than less. Especially this Yang Lao Liu was originally a weirdo in everyone's eyes, so naturally he didn't dare to care more about his affairs, and it is estimated that most of everyone must have pretended not to see it. ”
Xiao Qingfeng said: "Yes, when I first discovered the entrance to the basement, it did cause a slight commotion. But when everyone remembered all the eccentricities of Yang Lao Liu, they all left with an excuse. As Jing Xin said, let alone being questioned on the spot, there was not even a single person who dared to mention this matter afterwards, and everyone acted as if there was no such thing. ”
Mengshan Turtle said: "Everyone's mood at that time is completely understandable, after all, no one dares to provoke easily, he is such a strange person, and people have never done anything to harm everyone, so everyone is even more guilty of taking care of other people's privacy." But I think since his secret was accidentally discovered by others, and it was in full view of everyone, he shouldn't just keep silent and continue to pretend that nothing happened. It is estimated that he will definitely give everyone a reasonable explanation, even if he deliberately made it up casually, at least it can be regarded as a slight gag of everyone's mouths and caters to everyone's curiosity. Otherwise, after a long time, it will definitely cause such and such small troubles. Thinking that he is such a strange person, naturally he will not fail to think of this section. ”
Xiao Qingfeng said: "As you said, at the beginning, the people who saw the entrance to the underground dark room at that time, although they didn't dare to talk and inquire about anything casually on the surface, they were very uneasy in their hearts. Because they have long known that this Yang Lao Liu is definitely not a simple character, everyone is indeed starting to get uneasy when they are speculating wildly, and no one knows if some unexpected things will happen in the future. You must know that once this Yang Lao Liu really takes any measures against them, it will be a disaster that no one expected. But just when everyone was hesitating and confused, Yang Lao Liu actually took the initiative to call a few slightly famous elders among everyone to the courtyard he had just rebuilt, and told them a past story that was enough to make everyone feel at ease. ”
"I think he must have made up a perfect story for them, and it sounded so real and logical that they couldn't find any loopholes. ”
Xiao Qingfeng said: "Yes, he first brought those elders into the underground dark room that was discovered by everyone. ”
The doll said: "What treasures are there in his underground dark room, can't they all be treasures, or is it really the entrance to some ancient tomb?"
The little Taoist priest said: "You are stupid, if that is the case, will he still bring everyone in, I'm afraid he will kill everyone a long time ago."
Let's kill it. ”
Xiao Qingfeng said: "You all calm down for a while, and I will reveal this mystery to you immediately." After everyone followed the entrance of the underground dark room found earlier, and went down about seven or eight meters, everyone was stunned again, none of them expected that there were three basements below. And in the center of a basement in the middle, there was a dark and shiny coffin, but the size of this coffin was a little small. If there was a corpse lying in it, it would have been a small woman, or a child. And in the basement to the east, it looks like it should be a woman's boudoir, and all the utensils in it should be women's things, and they should all be things of great value. In addition, in the basement to the west, there were neatly placed more than a dozen jewelry boxes of the kind used in the homes of the dignitaries earlier. In particular, what made everyone unbelievable was that inside these jewelry boxes, there were all some gold and silver jewelry, and even a few boxes of gold bars. ”
The doll said: "I strangled it, what is the situation, could it be that this Yang Lao Liu is not only a hidden tomb robber, but also an amorous seed hidden in the golden house." ”
The little Taoist priest said: "Yes, this old guy shouldn't be some kind of flower thief." But this is also a bit unreasonable, it is said that this old guy is also so old, he shouldn't like this tone. Besides, these people who have eaten the food of the underworld since ancient times are generally not very infatuated with women. ”
The doll said: "How can you say this, these tomb robbers have even done bad things about digging people's ancestral graves, do they still care about what flower thieves are?"
The little Taoist priest said: "You don't understand this, and besides, you are a little girl's family, and you shouldn't have asked these questions in the first place." ”
The doll said: "What, what's wrong with my little girl's family, don't you pretend to understand, fool people there." ”
The dumb man said: "This is yours, what the people said is good." Since you want to know, then I'll tell you about the second brother, anyway, I'm so old, and others won't say anything about me. Do you know, generally speaking, most of the Jianghu people who eat food in the underworld, especially those who are engaged in tomb robbing, are indeed not very obsessed with women, or even not close to women at all. This is why, because there are a lot of taboos in their profession, and many people think that certain things about women will bring them some bad luck. As long as you accidentally touch it, then it is very likely that you will encounter this kind of strange accident when you are working, so as long as you are a real expert, you will generally pay special attention. Of course, this is also the reason why in ancient times, there were generally no famous female tomb robbers, because no one would partner with them at all. ”
The doll said: "What is this, if you want me to say that it is all some deceitful nonsense, it is okay for the dead hunchback to say so, you are so old, how can you be embarrassed to talk nonsense like this." Haven't you watched the current blockbusters on the theme of tomb robbery, you see which one doesn't have those sexy and hot babes in it, if you want me to say that you are too old-fashioned, I'll go, hum!"
Jingxin said: "Okay, you little doll, don't mess around here." I'll show you some information another day, and you'll know that what the second brother said is true. Besides, what are those blockbusters for, people are pursuing the box office, in order to win people's attention to the greatest extent, do you think they will really respect the facts. ”
Mengshan Turtle said: "Master Hou, you hurry up and talk about it, I really want to know how this senior managed to persuade those people." ”
