One summer night more than 60 years ago, the moon was hidden in the sea of clouds and the stars were dim. More than ten miles southwest of the ancient city of Shaoxing, there is a small mountain called Yinshan. It is named because its plane is slightly square and the inside is like a towering seal.
There are ditches dug around Yinshan Mountain, which were caused by digging when building the mound. If there are such features, there must be a large tomb in the mountain.
At this time, four country rats were outside a secret cave on the top of the mountain, which was the destination of their trip. However, there was no joy on their faces because someone in the team was missing.
All kinds of blood-sucking mosquitoes are annoying, and the strange calls of night owls are creepy.
Everyone was silent and stared straight at the Luoyang Shovel on the ground.
The Luoyang shovel explored the soil layer more than ten meters underground. Strangely, the soil brought up was not the black plaster mud that should appear in theory, but thick red soil, which also exuded a strong fishy smell.
"Lao Luo, it seems that this business can't be done." A fat man with a rosy nose looked at the cave entrance nearby with regret, "Blood comes out of the soil, evil spirits appear, don't move forward until you are tough. This is a robber hole. It only stopped halfway, and it was at least a hundred years old. There must be something hard in it, and the wind is blowing hard."
The man in a short coat squatting on the ground raised his head and glared at him, "Want to leave? How to leave? The melon seeds are gone. How can I explain to my parents when I get back?!"
Rosacea said anxiously: "Lao Luo, it's not like you don't know about that guy from Guazi. He's just so brave. Maybe he sneaked back by himself. He's probably already home by now. You listen to me, let's Let’s go back first, and when we invite the Xunlong Taibao, it won’t be too late for us to take action.”
Lao Luo snorted coldly and stood up, "Xunlong Taibao, Xunlong Taibao, where can I find Xunlong Taibao? Er Fatty, let's go down or not, just a word!"
The bald young man at the side said: "Although Guazi is timid, he will never go back without saying a word. I'm worried about him..."
As soon as these words came out, the four people present couldn't help but take a breath.
"Kuanwazi, don't talk nonsense!" Rosacea glared at him, as if blaming him for his unlucky words, "Don't disturb the morale of the army here."
"Second Fatty, if you ask me, you fatty can't move easily, so don't go down there. Me, Chuanwazi, and Shitou will go down. No matter what he does, just cut him in two." Lao Luo waved the ax in his hand. , with fierceness in his eyes.
"Hey, why don't you listen to me!" Rosacea sighed and shook his head helplessly, "This place is very fierce. We, as a few of us, might end up in it."
At this moment, three figures appeared on the steep cliff on the right side of the cave.
Lao Luo and others immediately stood up and looked at them warily.
"Boss Luo, don't be nervous, it's me."
Lao Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a young woman with an excellent figure walking towards the front of the team.
"Ms. Meng, it's you. I thought you weren't coming?" Lao Luo squeezed out a flattering smile.
The woman named Meng glanced at a few people and asked, "Didn't you say there are five of you? Is there another person?"
Lao Luo's face froze, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Missing."
"Missing?" A middle-aged man standing behind the woman immediately stepped forward and asked, "What is going on? How could a living person disappear out of thin air?"
It turns out that Lao Luo and others are a group of civilian tomb robbers, also known as "country rats", which is the most shameful profession throughout the ages. At first, the soil rat was a tool used when digging a robber hole. There was a rope tied to one end. People inside dug and people outside pulled out the soil. Later, people used this as a derogatory name for tomb robbers.
Lao Luo looked at the beautiful woman named Meng and said disapprovingly: "There is no danger in robbing graves. Not only disappearances, but also deaths are common. Miss Meng, there is no need to make a fuss."
The fat man with rosacea on the side felt his teeth itching when he heard it, and he cursed in his heart: "Damn it, just now you couldn't tell his parents about the melon seeds in his mouth, but now he has turned his back on me and refused to give me melon seeds for that little money." Your life is your destiny, and your heart is too dark!"
But he dared to be angry but dare not speak out. Lao Luo was the "eye" of this "Yi Guo'er". He was responsible for many lives. He was ruthless and told the truth. No one dared to confront him.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man turned to look at the woman and said, "Miss, today is a dark night, and the seal is about to be opened." As he spoke, the man deliberately blocked Lao Luo's gaze with his body, and with a slight movement of his eyes, he turned to the woman. His eyes were drawn to the pile of red soil on the ground, "When the red soil comes out, the Holy King appears, that boy has probably been sacrificed to the ancestors."
The woman's eyes closed slightly, revealing a depth that was impossible to see through. Then, she smiled slightly, walked up to Lao Luo, and said: "Boss Luo is worthy of being the number one in Yuezhong. He is really courageous and courageous. In this case, let's take action immediately. If everything goes well, tomorrow Liang, we can also have morning tea together."
Lao Luo looked at the beauty in front of him, couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and said with a smile: "Okay, listen to Miss Meng, we will start right away!"
After saying that, he waved back and shouted: "Get off!"
After hearing Lao Luo's order, Er Pang and others had no choice but to take action.
Among the four, Erpang is the oldest and the calmest. Both Chuanwazi and Shitou admire him. He looked at the sky, seemed to have made up his mind, and said to the two of them: "Listen up, I will go down first. Chuanwazi, you follow me, Shitou, you are responsible for pulling the tail of the earth mouse, we are here When someone calls you, pull something out."
Shitou was unconvinced: "Why am I the one pulling the strings again? No, I have to change with Chuan Wazi this time!"
The second fat man frowned and said, "Don't make trouble. I'll touch you a gold horseshoe later."
"I don't want you to touch it, I can touch it myself."
Seeing a few people moaning and groaning, the "hand-eye" Lao Luo immediately became angry and grabbed Shi Shi's ears: "How can you talk so much about such a miserable mother? You can do whatever I ask you to do." If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will chop off your tongue!"
Shitou had received a lot of beatings on weekdays. Seeing that Lao Luo was really angry, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word and looked straight at Er Fatty asking for help. Unexpectedly, Er Fatty had already gone to deal with the guy. Sichuan Wazi on the side said proudly: "If I call you a bitch, I won't help you this time."
Shitou was afraid that Lao Luo would beat him again, so he could only stare.
At this time, I heard the fat man yell, "What are you two bastards talking about? Hurry up and grab them!" After saying that, a tornado shovel was already dancing away.
Chuanwazi and Shitou quickly joined in, and the three of them advanced together. Half an hour later, the hole had been drilled to the bottom. Except for Chuan Wazi coming up for air from time to time, no sound could be heard clearly in the cave.
"Secret Fat Uncle, you are the 'leg' of our 'Yi Guo'er'. Palm Eyes trusts you the most. Please tell me, what is the 'Guo' in our business doing? That little girl They are so handsome." Chuan Wazi asked while digging the soil.
Palm eye, support pot, leg, and xiaku are the titles and basic structures of personnel in the basic industry chain of tomb robbing. The whole group of people involved in a tomb robbing activity is called "Yi Guo'er", and the highest-ranking person in the pot is "Zhang Yan". The "Zhuguo" is the boss behind the scenes, and he will bear all the initial investment in funds, equipment, and later remuneration. It's just that the woman surnamed Meng was born in a plutocratic family, which makes it difficult for people to associate her with "supporting the pot."
"He's so handsome that he can be eaten as a meal." Er Pang, as "Leg", is equivalent to a senior technician in the tomb robbing business. His maturity and experience allow him to become Palm Eye's confidant. When Palm Eye is not at the scene, Leg has absolute authority. , Er Pang rolled his eyes at him, "It is said that he is the daughter of a large conglomerate in China, and he is still studying archeology abroad."
"Damn it, isn't that the standard Bai Fumei? Then why is she doing..."
"Stop talking nonsense, don't ask around for things you shouldn't know!" Erpang interrupted him, "Hurry up and dig!"
There was no other way, Chuan Wazi had to swallow the words that were on his lips. Who said "Xia Ku" was the lowest level worker in the pot, with no status or voice at all.
At this time, the stones on the ground became impatient and shouted into the hole: "Uncle Er, have you dug through it?"
After several seconds, a vague voice came from inside: "Not yet, you... stay up there and pull... the rope!"
It was Chuan Wazi's voice, and then I heard Erpang cough again: "Shut up! Listen! There's something moving!"
Shitou knew something must have happened down there, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak. Suddenly, he heard a creepy sound coming from the cave, "bouncing", just like the sound of zombies jumping in the movie.
Then Chuanwazi yelled from below: "Shitou, pull it out!"
Soon after, Shitou quickly grabbed the rusty mouse's tail and pulled it out. Lao Luo on the side also realized that the situation was not good, so he quickly stepped forward, grabbed the tail of the country mouse, and the two of them worked together to pull the rope out.
At the same time, the middle-aged man and another young man were guarding the woman surnamed Meng in a defensive posture. If there was any situation, the guns in their arms would fire immediately.
"Stone, use force!" Lao Luo blushed and used all his strength to pull out the earth rat bit by bit.
However, seeing that the local rat was about to be pulled out, he hesitated.
Who knows what will be pulled up? Not long ago, Guazi disappeared mysteriously, and now something like this happened again, how could he not be on guard.
"You hold the stone while I go find someone to do something with you!" Lao Luo yelled, and then let go.
But at this moment, Shitou felt the rope loosen in his hand, and the rat popped out of the hole with a "whoosh" sound. Caught off guard, the stone fell to the ground.
Everyone took a closer look and saw that there was nothing on the earth mouse.
"Where's the second fat man?" Lao Luo was shocked.
Immediately afterwards, a gust of cold wind blew out from the Thief's Cave, making everyone present feel a biting chill.
"Bengbengbeng", the voice came closer.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Suddenly, a night owl's scream came from the forest, causing everyone to tremble, and the strange atmosphere suddenly became extremely gloomy.
And just after this cry, the whole world seemed to be quiet.
The bouncing sound also disappeared.
But everyone became more nervous.
"Palm, palm eye, me, how do I feel, feel, there is someone behind me..." Shitou looked at Lao Luo in horror and said tremblingly.
Lao Luo also froze at this time. He stood on the spot and looked behind Shi Shi. A blood-red thing was looking directly at him.
This Lao Luo is not an ordinary person. He has seen a lot of bizarre things, including rice dumplings. He gathered his thoughts and took out the self-defense Colt single-action wheel from his back. As long as the thing made any movement, it would make his head explode.
Unexpectedly, after a while, the thing made no movement. Lao Luo swallowed, then slowly walked forward, took a closer look, and suddenly felt his scalp numb. I saw that the thing was covered in blood, its skin was completely ulcerated, and countless maggots were writhing in its muscles, emitting a fishy smell that was stronger than that of the red soil.
