Chapter 5 Chapter 10 Speculations
Nothing to say for a night.
The next morning, everyone got up early.
After a simple wash in the pond of the small village and a meal, the treasure hunt began.
Everyone was a little excited.
The layout of Zhuangzi is a bit similar to that of Erzizhuang, but the area is much smaller, but Li Wuchang and his party only have more than a dozen people, and there is no clue, so it is a little troublesome to find.
Everyone went their separate ways.
Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun went to the mountain on the left, Mo Tong took two people to the mountain on the right, and three people went to the waterfall, and the rest of the people checked in the small forest in the middle.
Four squads.
Everyone has no experience in treasure hunting, so they can only rely on intuition, anyway, if they see something suspicious, they can just explore it.
The houses are concentrated in the middle of the two mountains on the left and right, all of which are old thatched houses, covered by lush trees, and now they are empty, which is the same as what Li Wuchang saw before, it should be because of the war.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Jiang Minglun took a knife and gently knocked the pillar of a house a few times, and in an instant, streams of dust fell, accompanied by a strong smell of decay.
Wow, whoa...... Rumble!
The house collapsed like that, bluffing the two of them.
It was like a piece of wood that had rotted for many years in the deep mountains and old forests, and it shattered into several pieces at the touch of it.
Jiang Minglun looked at the old wood scattered in a mess and the thatch that he didn't know how long it was, covered his nose, and muttered in a low voice: "This is too outrageous, how long has the fuck not been there?"
Li Wuchang's expression was solemn, "I originally thought that it was because of the war, so everyone here fled, but it doesn't seem to be the case, it's long been empty, it looks like it will take at least a few decades, it's very strange!"
Although it is remote and the road is not easy to walk, there are always a few pieces of arable land, and it is not a problem to feed dozens or hundreds of people, and Fangling County is a relatively barren place, so it stands to reason that there should be no one here.
In those days, the importance of arable land did not need to be detailed.
For the vast majority of people, arable land is life.
Abandoned for decades, why?
It is precisely because of this that nothing has changed here, and the outline is still very similar to the map, so that Li Wuchang can recognize it at a glance.
Jiang Minglun speculated with great interest: "Eh, stunned, do you think it could be that someone did it on purpose? He took over this small village, but he didn't rent it to the common people to cultivate, he just didn't want others to pay attention to it, so it was a waste for decades." ”
Li Wuchang said: "If that's the case, it means that there is really a problem here." ”
Jiang Minglun said with a bitter face: "The treasure won't be taken first, right?
This possibility is not impossible.
Many people have come to look for the treasure of King Fangling before, maybe some sinister element found a clue and secretly took it away.
Li Wuchang thought for a moment and analyzed: "It's hard to say, if you don't want others to notice here, you don't necessarily need to do this, it will seem like you want to cover up." I think this should be the ancestral property of a large family, and the family has developed and gone to other places to develop, so I forgot about this place. ”
Jiang Minglun sent out more than a dozen knife blows, swept away the rotten wood and thatch, and after the sweep was empty, he walked to the middle of the house, squatted down to check it carefully, stretched out his finger and touched it, and inserted it a few times with a knife.
There is nothing suspicious.
Very ordinary dirt floor.
"Let's go to other houses and see if we can find some clues!" Li Wuchang suggested.
The two of them hurried to the next place.
The road outside is not easy to walk, but the road halfway up the mountain is even better, the path is paved with cobblestones, and although it is now overgrown with weeds, it is not difficult to see that these paths are well planned.
Paving the cobblestones is a luxury for the average small village, let alone in such a remote area.
In Feng Yi's place, when I went out to Erzhuzizhuang, the roads of other Zhuangzi were really rotten and chic, and it was really difficult to walk on a rainy day, and if I was not careful, I would slip to it, or fall into a quagmire.
This is all the more proof that there is a problem here.
"Hey, stunned, look!" Jiang Minglun shouted loudly.
Li Wuchang looked at Jiang Minglun's fingers.
It was a small bag of dirt, a lot of it, and it seemed very discordant in the forest, obviously not made by nature.
When the two walked in, they found that there was a piece of wood standing in front of many small earthen bags.
It's a graveyard.
Jiang Minglun took out a piece of wood, looked at it carefully, and said, "Wooden tablet...... It seems that a lot of people have died here, and they are all buried together. ”。
The grass was very high, and the wood in front of the grave, like the wood in the thatched houses, had rotted away, and it was impossible to see what was written on it.
Li Wuchang guessed: "There should not have been a plague here, right? ”
The people of the village lived quietly and without fighting with the world, but for some reason the plague came, which caused heavy casualties among the villagers, and the survivors buried the dead villagers together and then fled to other places.
The outline of the story doesn't seem to be bad, either.
Jiang Minglun was puzzled: "Then it won't be a waste for decades!"
Li Wuchang said: "Maybe the situation at that time was too tragic for others to think that this was an evil land, so no one was willing to stay...... Alas, I'd really like to find an old man to ask. ”
Jiang Minglun frowned and thought for a while, "Could it be murder?"
Li Wuchang looked at him and waited for the following.
Jiang Minglun took a moment to analyze: "Stunned, let's believe that King Fangling really left a batch of treasures here, since he did it so secretly, he should have sent someone to do it secretly, in order not to reveal the secret, he clicked all the people who did it......"
Many episodes say that the big man sends people to do things, and in order not to leak secrets afterwards, he will kill all the people who do things.
Li Wuchang said: "It makes some sense, but it still doesn't make sense...... If it's to extinguish the mouth, why do you still build a grave? Isn't it good to burn it down?"
Jiang Minglun smiled, "Could it be...... Do you feel guilty? Burn more paper for them?"
Li Wuchang scolded with a smile: "Burn more paper of yours, you believe in this reason, right?"
Jiang Minglun sighed and said, "It's normal for King Fangling's style of doing things to be unpredictable!"
Then his eyes were cold, and he proposed: "Do you want to dig up these graves?" I dare to pack the ticket, there will definitely be a discovery, maybe the rumored treasures are buried in these graves. ”
Li Wuchang exhaled, "Let's wait for everyone to finish exploring together, if you don't find it, digging a grave is also a good choice...... Alas, what the fuck is going on! Uncle Ben is really going to dig a grave. ”
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Minglun immediately laughed.
The matter of the ancestral tomb of the Zhang family has not yet been judged, and the Zhang family is still accounting for Li Wuchang.
