Chapter 159: Treasure Hunt
"What?" Listening to the little fat man's words, Ding Hao was so shocked that he almost didn't jump up, and his eyes widened, bigger than the copper bell that his master used to exorcise ghosts.
The little fat man nodded solemnly, indicating that what he had just done with Ding Hao, about finding Zhao Qian's mother and inadvertently discovering the rebellion of King Penglai, was true.
"Little fat brother, what should we do then?"
With a little fat man in front of him, Ding Hao has always been reluctant to spend a little brain. In his opinion, the little fat man's ideas are absolutely earth-shattering, as long as he implements the little fat brother's ideas steadfastly, it is stronger than his own idea of thinking about three days and four nights.
The little fat man lowered his head and muttered for a while, this matter is not trivial, it is related to the rise and fall of the country, and the life of the people. If one is not handled properly, it can lead to an extremely brutal war, when the people are displaced and mourned. After a long while, the little fat man slowly lifted up and looked in the direction of the plane tree. Because of the blockage of the courtyard wall, the little fat man could only see the dense tree head and the two flirtatious/flirting little yellow warblers on the tree. The little fat man said: "Let's wait for the evening, take the steel bar and shovel, and quickly take out the jade seal of the country." ”
Ding Hao nodded and said, "Okay, no problem!"
If this thing is done well, maybe it will be famous all over the world, and even go down in history. When the time comes, the descendants of their own Ding family will proudly say to others: "Look, what a great thing our ancestors did back then!" Thinking about it already made Ding Hao excited.
"Little fat brother, how about we go and observe the place where the jade seal is hidden first?" Ding Hao was already a little impatient, it seemed that the moment to revitalize their Ding family was finally coming. He Ding Hao, Ding Daweiren, the glorious moment of leaving a name in history is just around the corner.
The little fat man felt that Ding Hao's words made sense, so he first observed the terrain, familiarized himself with the environment, and saw from what angle it was easy to dig and what tools were best to use. The little fat man nodded, and the two of them threw the hoe under a tall canna in the garden, and walked over to the place that Zhao Qian's mother said with a worried heart.
The sycamore tree was older than they were in their palace. It is said that the grandfather of Penglai Wang's grandfather, when he didn't know what the king was, took a fancy to this place and prepared to build a palace here. It just so happens that there is a hundred-year-old plane tree here. At that time, the old prince had the tree cut down to prevent it from getting in the way. Unexpectedly, when the carpenter was about to cut down the tree, the wind suddenly blew violently, and the sun in the sky was also covered by a dark cloud. Immediately afterwards, there was a violent wind and rain, thunder and lightning. It took three days and three nights to stop. Three days later, the rain stopped and the sun finally showed up again. Only then did everyone find out that the carpenters who were originally going to cut down trees were killed by a collapsed house in this heavy rain. When the old prince saw this, he was stunned, and he didn't know if the plane tree had become a spirit and made a spell. However, I am reluctant to give up this piece of feng shui treasure. So, let the construction people carefully bypass the plane tree. In this way, after the palace was built, the plane tree was also preserved.
When he got there, the little fat man saw that someone had already occupied it first. It turned out that under the plane tree, there was an elderly domestic servant, about fifty or sixty years old, who was vigorously waving the broom in his hand. This old man, the little fat man had seen it before, and remembered that his surname was Zhang. Old man Zhang held that broom in his hand, about a meter or so. The other was holding an iron dustpan with a meter-long wooden handle on it. Old man Zhang swept the leaves of the plane tree on the ground into a pile, and then, waving a broom, gently swept the plane leaves into the dustpan. Like a naughty child, the sycamore leaf swept this piece in, and that piece ran out again. It took a lot of effort, the strength was not less, the sweat was not less, and the results were very little. There are still large sycamore leaves on the ground, arrogantly demonstrating to Old Man Zhang. Old man Zhang was very helpless, sighed, looked at these sycamore leaves, and didn't know when he would finish cleaning. Just when he was worried, he suddenly heard someone next to him say, "Uncle Zhang, you're busy!"
Old man Zhang looked up and saw two teenagers standing in front of him, these two people were really wonderful. One is fat like a pig, the other is thin like a monkey, and the two of them stand together, which is simply a stark contrast. For the two teenagers in front of him, Old Man Zhang just felt familiar, and knew that they were also family members in the palace, but they couldn't be called by name.
Old man Zhang replied with a smile: "Yes." ”
The little fat man stepped forward and said, "Uncle Zhang, come, I'll help you sweep it." Now it's cold, you see you're wearing so thin, hurry back and get dressed. With that, the little fat man took the broom from Old Man Zhang's hand. Ding Hao was not to be outdone, and took the iron dustpan from Old Man Zhang's hand.
When Old Man Zhang saw the fat and thin teenagers in front of him, he knew that he respected the old and loved the young, and he had a good impression of them in his heart. Old man Zhang said: "Young man, then I'll trouble you. ”
"No trouble, no trouble. Uncle Zhang, go back and get dressed. When it freezes and gets cold, those of us who are juniors won't be able to go. ”
Old man Zhang listened, and a grateful look appeared on his face. He turned and staggered off into the distance. As he walked, he muttered about the benefits of these two teenagers.
The little fat man and Ding Hao looked at each other and smiled, and saw that the old man Zhang was gradually walking away, and the voice disappeared into the small door, so he was relieved. They watched for a moment and noticed that no one else was paying attention to them. Even some guards or maids passed by, and they were also disdainful of low-level families like them. The little fat man and Ding Hao didn't feel uncomfortable at all because they were discriminated against, what they want now is that the more they are not taken seriously, the better. has been noticed, and their plans are not yet well carried out.
The two of them stood under the big tree, and there was a row of stone slabs one meter square along the west direction. When the little fat man and Ding Hao saw it, they were ecstatic in their hearts, and they felt that this victory was too simple, and there were no ups and downs at all, but it made the two of them feel quite lost in their hearts.
Following the slate, the little fat man and Ding Hao found the third piece. The little fat man stretched out his foot and stepped on the slate, feeling that the slate was no different from the other slates. Maybe it's been a long time, and the soil on the ground has solidified. There are often people walking on the stone slabs, and they are very smooth when they are stepped on. The slate is separated from the surrounding slabs, only one finger's width apart.
The little fat man looked at the slate with a frown, and realized that it would take a shovel and 61 heads to lift her up. Although the little fat man and Ding Hao are also anxious now, they can't wait to pry up the slate at this moment, take out the long-missing jade seal of the country and present it to the current emperor to appease the people of the world. However, the little fat man is still somewhat sensible. He knew that this was not to be done at this moment. In broad daylight, if the little fat man and Ding Hao dared to do this, I am afraid that before the slate was pried up, they would be discovered by the people in the palace.
Hit you, the two of them remained silent, and still cleaned up the fallen leaves seriously. The "seriousness" of the little fat man and Ding Hao also won a lot of praise from the passing manager Wang. Encourage them to work hard, and promise to give them a salary increase next month. The little fat man and Ding Hao heard it and laughed it. If they had found the Founding Jade Seal, they would have flown away that night. Who would stay here and suffer their humiliation for a few small bucks?
At night, the moon crept down on the branches. It's like an old bachelor who has been single for decades, quietly climbing up the wall and peeking at the love of the little couple next door. The stars in the sky blinked and flashed like wolves attacking their prey in the wilderness. A gust of autumn wind blew, like an old lady in the last years of the wind, and staggered down from the branches. When it falls to the ground, it makes a slight rustling sound.
In the courtyard of the palace, from time to time there are guards patrolling around with bright broadswords and bright lanterns. It's not too early now, it's already the second watch. The second watch was originally an excellent sleep, but the guards couldn't sleep but had to patrol everywhere, of course, they were reluctant. I saw them all drowsy, dragging their legs as if they no longer belonged to them, walking with difficulty. At this time, an eight-year-old boy suddenly jumped out, and with one finger, he could push these tired men to it.
The guards had just patrolled over, and at this time, two black shadows suddenly flashed. Under the illumination of the moonlight, the two dark shadows revealed a vague outline. I saw these two people dressed in black and black pants, and they also wore black hoods on their faces, except for two shiny ones, like stars in the sky, shining like silver. The figures of these two people are so familiar, they are none other than the protagonist of this book, Little Fatty, and his partner Ding Hao.
The little fat man and Ding Hao dressed up in disguise and quietly sneaked into the plane tree. Each of them held a long weapon in his hand. No, it's not a weapon. One with a shovel and one with 61. This was what they had agreed during the day, and they came out of the tool room to pry open the slate.
The guards have just passed, and this place is safe for now. The little fat man exchanged glances with Ding Hao through the hole in his hood. Ding Hao understood what the little fat man meant and nodded.
"Excavation. The little fat man whispered, and inserted the 61 heads in his hand into the gap in the stone slab.
