"Grave robber?"
I felt inexplicably scared. This was the first time I had heard such harsh words since I was a child! When I was six or seven years old, my grandfather Guo Dingtian began to teach me to memorize some formulas and passwords, and to learn a lot of common sense about astronomy and geography, as well as some rare tasks in the world, such as walking up a high mountain and being able to judge its height with my footsteps. and width. You can know the depth of the water by tasting the water in the lake. These strange skills are what I love very much.
After ten years of studying hard in the cold window, I have recited Tang poetry and Song lyrics, and also read many strange stories and strange opinions in ancient classics, as well as many unsolved mysteries. Although I am not yet able to punt a boat in the belly of a prime minister, I can also There is nothing in the world that I, Guo Zan, have not touched before.
However, what my grandfather said about "grave robbers" made me surprised, happy and frightened. I was surprised when I heard this word for the first time. It seemed like it was still a business. My grandfather once said that I knew what he knew, but today I saw that he still hid too many things from me. So why would he? Why hide the knowledge of tomb robbers and not teach it to me? I was happy to have knowledge to learn again. The tomb was buried with gold, silver, jewelry, and ancient valuables. This was secondary. The main reason was that the owner of the tomb stirred up an impulsive passion deep in my heart. I wanted to If you want to confront the famous ancient generals and doctors who were famous thousands of years ago, or even the emperors and fortune tellers of a generation, what kind of collision would it be like to go back in time and overlap in time and space! When I thought of this, I suddenly realized that the most precious and valuable things in the world are in the underground world, and ancient time and space are also buried in the underground world. From this moment on, I yearned for the tomb so much.
However, I am extremely afraid deep in my heart. It is a kind of fear hidden deep in the soul. The stories handed down in China have always been full of ghosts and monsters. Today, these two crows made our whole village immersed in fear. It was the first time I realized that death was so close.
My father was afraid that the fat white man would wake up in the middle of the night and run away, so he tied a carp knot for his grandson. What a carp knot is was also passed down from my grandfather. My family is the only one in our village who knows how to tie a carp knot. Of course, although my mother She is the daughter-in-law of the old Guo family, but she is not related by blood to the old Guo family. My grandfather clearly understands that the daughter-in-law cannot learn these skills that are passed down from one line of the Guo family. When I was a child, I peeped on my father teaching my mother how to fight. This carp knot, but my mother just can't learn it. It seems that my grandfather also chose a stupid daughter-in-law, which shows how much he values these skills of the old Guo family.
This carp knot, after it is tied, looks like a small goldfish, with all the head and tail scales and fins, and a total of one hundred and eight small knots. After tying the carp knot, if you want to untie it, you must follow the steps in advance. My own design is to pull out three small knots. If you pull them wrongly, the carp knot will become a dead knot, and it will get tighter and tighter. Every year in the twelfth lunar month, my grandfather and I go to the mountains to catch pheasants and lasso roe deer. , I have seen those roe deer being strangled alive by my grandfather's carp several times. But if you make these three little knots right, the carp knot will shake off easily, so my grandfather also gave this carp knot another name, called the life-betting knot.
Without talking all night, my father and I tied the fat man to the big water tank in the kitchen and waited for him to be interrogated tomorrow. As for his package and the things on him, my grandfather ordered not to move them. If he comes out, he might even catch fire, so after tying him up, we all went back to the house to sleep. Because it was raining coldly today, my mother kindly lit a fire for my kang, so I slept well that night. It’s comfortable, but the big ditch in the middle of our village is filled with the cries of crows and owls from time to time.
The next day, at dawn, the big red rooster of the next-door neighbor Aunt Shi's house played a long tune early and quite regularly, three long, two short, two short and three long. It was probably about to become sperm.
The fat man was tied up in the kitchen, and my mother couldn't cook, so she asked me to talk to my grandfather. My grandfather came out from the side room with dark circles under his eyes, looking like he hadn't slept all night. My grandpa asked me to take the fat man to his house and ask him for questioning. I picked the shit out of my eyes and had no choice but to do it.
I came to the kitchen and found this big white fat man, oh! This snoring caused ripples in the water in the water tank. I inspected the carp knot and it was still intact, and I felt a little better at that moment. I picked up the big horn kitchen knife and chopped it hard on the cutting board, cursing: "Hey! Hey! You chubby little running boy! Why don't you get up!"
All of a sudden, I made a huge movement, and I chopped an inch into the cutting board. The fat man was so frightened that he bumped his head against the big water tank, and the well water ladle in the tank came out and poured melon seeds on his head. At this time, he suddenly woke up and looked very angry. He scolded me: "You are just Ba'er Ba, you are Ba'er Ba'er, your whole family is Ba'er Ba'er Ben! Tied up What are you doing, I'm here as a guest, not to fight, let me go!"
I saw him spitting foam and flying stars, and I was rude. I picked up the rolling pin from last night and hit him on the head. I asked, "You must have been fighting. Look at the blood on your body. What's going on?" Please tell me the truth, otherwise, I will send you to the Yamen and hand you over to Mr. Bao!"
After hearing what I said, he snorted coldly and said: "I, Fei Long, were born as earthlings. Although you look as old as me, you must have been simmering in this ravine. You're stupid, there's a lot of gunfire outside, the world is in chaos, the Qing dynasty of the Aisin Gioro family has long since ceased to exist, and the feudal regime of more than two thousand years has long since disappeared, and what the hell are the yamen still covered with black charcoal? I think you are a dung beetle who only cares about the earth but not the sky, and a toad who only cares about the sky!"
Before he could finish scolding me, I raised my big foot and aimed it at his fat butt. This kick made him scream and even yelled for his life, "Little Master." I saw that I had almost finished taking care of him, so I quickly took him to the side room to deliver errands to my grandfather.
When I opened the door, I saw that my grandfather had just added a pot of cigarettes. After lighting it, he took a puff and pointed at the fat man's knees. I understood and kicked the fat man to the ground and said harshly. : "Benbo'er Ba, please be more honest with me, or else I'll reap the rewards!"
My grandfather waved his hand to tell me to stop talking. He crossed his legs on the edge of the kang and sat down firmly, then said to Fatty Wang: "Wang's son, I don't mean any harm, just tell me, what's the blood on your body like?" You did it, and what was your purpose and how did you do it?"
When the fat man heard this, he started crying and said back to my grandfather: "Grandpa Guo, I came here specifically to look for your Wu Burial Sect. Something big has happened! I have been looking for you from Shandong. Yesterday I was begging for food in Zhaojia Village, but I found that the entire village was a den of bandits. There were also some Japanese Japanese devils who wanted me to join the miners. They said they were mining a big black mountain for the Japanese and extorted money from me. I took advantage of the rain at night and broke out of the siege. I killed three Japanese and followed the flood ditch before escaping to this village. As soon as I found out about the fat aunt next to me, I came to join Grandpa Guo's house!"
My grandfather was so frightened that he jumped down from the kang and said, "What! The Japanese are coming!"
