I quickly closed my eyes, covered my face with my hands, and asked the other party: "Who is it? Who are you?"
When I asked the question, I actually had a rough guess in my mind, that these people should be human beings and not evil spirits. If they were the owners of this land, that would be fine. I was afraid they were arresting cultural relic dealers or tomb robbers. Relevant units, that would be the end of it.
Because the flashlight shone over and illuminated the entrance to the thief's cave, and I also asked who the other party was, Zhao Hu and the others naturally understood that someone was coming. When we came, we brought an iron sand gun. Zhao Hu also hurriedly filled the thief's cave with gunpowder, probably thinking that if the situation went bad, he would come up and fight directly.
At this time, a man with a duck voice said: "You are still asking me who you are. You are digging holes in my territory, so I should ask you who you are, right?"
As soon as these words came out, I was relieved. It seemed that he was the owner of this land. As long as he wasn't evil spirits or people from relevant departments, it would be fine.
I smiled and said, "Brother, can you please stop shining your flashlight on me? It's so dazzling. Let's talk carefully if we have anything to say."
To be honest, the scene in front of me suddenly reminded me of the scene when we first met Xiaoye. At that time, Xiaoye and the others were digging holes in our "territory" and were caught by us.
But now, we are digging holes in other people's property, and they are also catching us.
The other party did not rush to turn off the flashlight, but continued to ask me: "What do you do? Tomb robbers?"
"Can you please turn off the flashlight first? It makes me dizzy." I emphasized again.
The duck-voiced man then asked everyone else to turn off their flashlights, leaving him alone to turn them on.
And he no longer continued to shine on my face, but on my feet.
Using the bright light, I looked up and saw five people standing five or six meters across from me. They were all men. Four of them looked to be in their twenties to forties. Because the light was relatively dark, I can't see his general appearance clearly. As for the last person, he is the old man guarding the gate.
The old man recognized me, and he snorted coldly and said, "That's him. He came here with a woman and said he wanted to raise pigs or something, and wanted to come and inspect it. I don't think he looks like a pig raiser." Damn it, our two dogs must have been poisoned to death by him, so we have to make him pay for the dogs!"
At this time, Zhao Hu, who was in the thief's cave, should have filled up the gunpowder. He also asked me in a low voice: "How to build an army? Can you do it?"
I put my hands behind my back and waved to the man in the thief's cave, meaning I couldn't do anything.
The reason why I chose not to take action was that there were more men on the other side. On the other hand, I saw two people holding guns in their hands. One of them was semi-automatic, which was much more convenient than ours. Zhao Hu would wait a moment. If one of the guns collapsed, he would have to refill it with gunpowder or something.
Besides, they haven’t said what they’re going to do to us now, so it’s definitely not worth it to just start killing people like this.
"Are you tomb robbers? There are several of them. Call them out. Don't hide inside." The man with the duck voice said again at this time. He also waved his hand and motioned for the two people next to him to walk behind me, obviously wanting to Outflank us and prevent us from playing tricks.
I knew that I couldn't run away or fight now, so I had to laugh and said: "Don't get excited, buddy, we are indeed tomb robbers. We just want to make some money to make a living. We don't have any bad intentions. If we have something to say, please tell me. Don't hurt our lives, I'll let my people come out right now, and you tell your people not to shoot."
I deliberately mentioned "gun" at this time. In fact, it was also a reminder to Zhao Hu that there was a guy in his hand that we couldn't beat.
Then I said to the few people in the thief's cave: "You all come out and have a good chat with them. Zhao Hu, just throw that guy in your hand inside. We can't beat them either."
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hu took the lead and led the other three people out of the robbery hole.
When he discovered that there were two women, the man with a duck voice laughed and cursed: "Fuck, you actually have women. I have seen a lot of tomb robbers, but this is the first time I have seen a female tomb robber."
"Where are you from? Your accent doesn't sound like our locals, does it?" Sister Yuan stepped forward and asked.
The man with the duck voice did not answer the question, but continued to ask us: "Is there anyone named Chen among you?"
The surname is Chen?
Isn’t my last name Chen?
A few of us looked at each other, but no one was in a hurry to answer his question. Then I asked the man with a duck voice: "Why are you looking for a man named Chen? Is it possible that you believe in fate, brother, but Chen's surname is you or..."
Before I finished speaking, the man with a duck voice said impatiently: "I ask you if you have it. Just answer yes or no. What's the ink mark here?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Then I have to ask, what does it mean if it does, and what does it mean if it doesn't."
"If not, you can each pay me 10,000 yuan per person, and I will let you go when you are done. Just pretend that nothing happened."
"What if there is?" I continued to ask.
"I see what you mean, is there someone named Chen?" When the duck-voiced man asked this question, you could feel that he seemed to have some small expectations.
Although I don't know what he wants from the man named Chen, but judging from his expression and his expectation, it's probably not a bad thing.
I was about to say that my surname was Chen, but Sister Yuan immediately said: "We don't have anyone surnamed Chen. It's ten thousand for each person, right? Can you find someone to take me to the city to get the money? I hope you can do what you say on this matter." Just act like nothing happened.”
Zhao Hu and Xiao Zizi also cooperated with Sister Yuan, saying that we really don't have anyone named Chen. Zhao Hu also said jokingly: "If you want to find someone named Chen, I can find my friend. My friend's surname is Chen."
The duck-voiced man waved his hand and said, "No need, just forget it if you don't have anyone named Chen."
After he finished, he looked at the fat man next to him and said, "Fat, you go back to the city with that young woman to get the money. When you come back with the money, we will let him go."
The duck-voiced man's words "young woman" directly made Sister Yuan unhappy. Sister Yuan snorted and said, "What a young woman? I'm still young, okay? It's true."
The duck-voiced man smiled: "Okay, take this lady to the city to get the money."
"You might as well call yourself a young woman."
Sister Yuan said, telling the fat man to leave quickly, saying that he should get the money and come back early.
The braid was probably worried about Sister Yuan, so he also said: "Sister Yuan, can I go get it with you?"
The duck-voiced man immediately said: "Just let her go alone. You guys wait here. You don't go anywhere without my permission."
I still smiled and asked: "Then we have given you the money, are you sure you want to let us go?"
"Well, I only care about money and not life. Don't worry. I'm going to kill a few people just for these tens of thousands of dollars. I won't do this kind of loss-making business."
With that said, the duck-voiced man pointed to an open space next to him: "You guys go and stand there."
After we passed, Sister Yuan also followed the fat man. The duck-voiced man probably didn't trust us, so he sent another person to go into the burglar's cave to check it out, and took away the iron sand gun that Zhao Hu had placed inside. After he came out, he asked people to check other thieves' caves. After seeing that there was no one else, he seemed relieved.
I was also curious about what he wanted to do by enclosing this large wasteland, and why there were so many burglary holes here. It seemed that he knew about it, so after waiting for a while, I took the initiative and said: "Brother, What is your purpose for renting this land? It must not be to raise livestock, right? You should also know that the Feng Shui here is particularly suitable for burial, and there should be something like a dragon's lair under the ground, right?"
The man with the duck voice glanced at me with a bit of disdain: "Don't ask more questions than you should. Grave robbers of your level should not be embarrassed in this place. Don't come here again. You will lose your life here." "
