Chapter 2 119 The Tomb Robber
###119 Tomb robbers
Seeing the fairy girl enter the Anyuan Hall, Xiao Yu was anxious, and pulled Ye Xiaolou and said, "Master, what is going on now? Let's go in together." ”
Who knows, Ye Xiaolou not only had no anxious look, but also complained that the weather was too hot at noon, and proposed to go back to the tea shop he passed by to drink a bowl of tea.
Xiaoyu was worried that if An Zhuyan's father's sarcophagus was found by the people who came to hunt for treasures, if the secret in it was taken away by others, wouldn't it be impossible to save the master.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, but Ye Xiaolou asked, "How many days are there until fifteen?"
Xiaoyu did the math and replied, "Seven days." ”
"Master, there is one more thing I don't understand. ”
"Let's just say that you are stupid, and you can count from one to ten things that you don't understand. ”
"What counts from one to ten, master, what are you talking about? ”
"If you say you're stupid, you have to be careful. I ask you, Heaven 1, Earth 2, Heaven 3, Earth 4, Heaven 5, Earth 6, Heaven 7, Earth 8, Heaven 9, Earth 10. What do you mean by this to ten?"
Xiaoyu's mind is all on "The Ballad of the Sea", how can he not figure out what Ye Xiaolou is talking about, only when he counts that he is shallow in knowledge and doesn't understand anything. "No, master...... The stakes are high, and I must not sit idly by. I just heard that girl talk about "The Ballad of the Sea", and I don't know if the "Ballad of the Sea" she is talking about is the "Ballad of the Sea" that I know. ”
Ye Xiaolou looked up at the sky, and after a while, he spoke, "Do you really know "The Ballad of the Sea"?"
Xiao Yu nodded cautiously, "Yes, the Ballad of the Sea is very important to me. ”
Ye Xiaolou raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his hand slightly, and the little white horse kicked his legs a few times, and stepped into the flower forest east of Anyuan Hall.
"I'm thirsty, and we said as we walked, the tea shop in front of us wasn't far from here, and there was still some hour before it got dark. ”
The two walk side by side, they really don't look like master and apprentice, but like a pair of talented and beautiful childhood sweethearts.
It's a pity that the two of them have their own thoughts, Xiaoyu's thoughts are particularly complicated, she tried to sort out what happened under the water, but she couldn't figure it out for a while, but she was sure of the importance of "The Ballad of Dividing the Sea". "The Ballad of the Sea" must not fall into the wrong hands. The heavens and the earth are overturned, the sea is pouring in, and the wildfires are scorching, and this must not happen.
As he was walking, he was thinking about it, when he suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and he saw a girl shouting while running, "Help, help, I didn't steal, help." ”
Ye Xiaolou looked at the girl who was only seven or eight years old, holding a bag of things in her arms, her legs were not long, but her steps were much faster than ordinary children, with his current skills, I am afraid that he may not be able to catch up with this girl.
The adults chasing after were also out of breath, and just as they got closer, the girl dodged behind a pine tree, made a grimace, turned her head and shouted to Xiaoyu, "Sister, I'm sorry." ”
After speaking, he shouted again: "The thief is here, folks, come quickly." ”
Xiaoyu didn't expect that this girl would suddenly lead the person to her, chase after her, and saw the girl's figure flicker, and quietly disappeared into the forest on the side.
Ye Xiaolou said: "Your speed, I can't keep up now, can I ask Miss Xiaoyu to wait a while?"
Xiaoyu felt a wave of shame in her heart, and apologized again and again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, master, I was in a hurry just now, and I forgot about ...... for a while."
At this time, the two of them have entered the forest, and they can hear someone behind them: "Don't chase, wait for the people of Qingxia Mountain to come and then enter the forest, this forest is very strange, there are often wild beasts recently, white as bears, haunt freely in the evening, and make strange screams, I don't know what kind of monster it is, we are guarding here, if the thief comes out, we will catch her, if she doesn't come out, most of them are also eaten by monsters." ”
Then I heard a few echoes, "Okay, we'll wait here, and the sun will set in a few hours." ”
"Old Wu, what has been stolen from your house?"
"Today, I happened to go to my father's grave with my wife and children to pay respects, and I didn't want to see a fire in front of my father's grave from a distance, and the pine trees I picked a few years ago were burning.
My wife and I didn't dare to rush forward to find out, so we hid in the distance and secretly watched, but the smoke was very strong, and the wind just drove the smoke to our faces, as if we had eyes, and we were smoked to tears, and when the wind passed, the fire was extinguished, and we ran to the grave to see, the soil was all hollowed out, the coffin was exposed, and the bones of my father were exposed to the sun, emitting bursts of stench. ”
One person laughed: "What kind of joke, how many years has your father been dead, and this coffin is just a pile of dry bones when opened, where does the smell come from?"
"What I'm saying is the truth, don't believe it. I'd heard about the smell in the coffin, and I didn't believe it at the time, but my father's coffin was also a stench. Now that I think about it, what happened to several families in the east of the city a while ago is also true, the coffin buried decades ago, and the tomb was dug up, and it was also a stench, like a dead mouse making a nest. ”
"Your family is so poor, what is the child looking for in your father's coffin?"
"I don't know, and the kid was doing something so strange that he didn't just burn the tree in front of our grave. He also destroyed the coffin so badly that it didn't look like a thief at all, like a wild beast cutting wood indiscriminately. ”
"So, has anyone seen what this kid looks like? Has he ever been in the city before?"
"No, the boy saw us running over, and turned his face to laugh at us, when the distance was less than a kilometer, and the smoke dispersed, we should have seen the child's face clearly.
But it was horrible to say, I didn't even see the child's face clearly. ”
"I think you've fallen into the wrong spirit, causing us to run so far in vain. I am afraid that the tomb robber and the burglary are not the same thief. ”
Several men complained one after another.
A person similar to the leader interrupted them, "Miss Liu Ying from Qingxia Mountain has already arrived in Linyou City, this matter is still to be discussed when they come, now those who are willing to wait here can wait, and those who are not willing to wait can go back." ”
Xiaoyu looked at Ye Xiaolou, and Ye Xiaolou said, "Just take your idea." ”
After saying that, he found a quick rock and sat down.
Xiao Yu thought to herself that if she went out now, she would inevitably be treated as an accomplice of thieves and delay her business, but she couldn't do it.
The forest doesn't seem to be big, and maybe you can get around these people by walking through the woods. After making a decision, she opened the package that the girl had planted for her and saw that it was a few bones.
Ye Xiaolou frowned slightly, "A few bones scared you like this? You are really a child who hasn't grown up, you see that people are younger than you, and they can already rob tombs, do you know that there are many treasures in the cemetery." ”
It's all at this time, this person is still thinking about money, if it is really a human being, it is difficult to change his nature.
"Master, let's go forward, when the people of Qingxia Mountain enter the forest, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a lot of hours, Senior An said, don't take care of things, don't care about anything that happens on the road. ”
Ye Xiaolou nodded.
In front of the forest, there is cigarette smoke and fog, and the bamboo forest is sparse but not transparent.
The voices outside the forest also became farther and farther away, and gradually, the two of them seemed to enter a mist.
