But when I was suddenly asked to make a decision, I became a little entangled, because it was really a big girl getting on the sedan chair for the first time. After all, many people's lives were involved, so I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.
I stared at the cinnabar clod in my hand, thought for a long time, and then said with difficulty: "Let's see, Uncle Jiang, from what I learned about the monster's travel patterns, it usually appears at night. It can be seen that it is afraid It's sunny, we can find it during the day, and then it will be easier to deal with."
Although this doesn't sound like a good idea, it's the best I can think of at the moment.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiang felt that it made sense and nodded unconsciously: "That's right, but where are we going to find that monster?"
Hearing this question, I raised my foot and stamped the ground under my feet, and said without thinking: "This is easy to handle. Since I can confirm that this is a cinnabar tomb, it means that the cinnabar is the second layer of sealing soil. As long as I dig deeper At most one meter, I can guarantee that I can see the top of the tomb, and the monster is naturally in the tomb."
I say that, right? It must be right. According to the records in "Maoshan Sanqing Shu", the three layers of sealing soil in the cinnabar tomb are not particularly thick. Except for the top layer, which is a little thicker, the remaining two layers are not considered thick. Too thick.
Because the main function of the cinnabar tomb is to suppress evil spirits and is not a mausoleum for dignitaries, there is no extravagance in burying the tomb so deep.
Considering the cost, neither the cinnabar nor the lime loose soil is particularly thick. Now that we have seen the cinnabar, it means it is too far from the top of the tomb, so I am so sure.
As for whether the monster is in the tomb, I'm not sure, but according to its characteristics of hiding day and night, if it doesn't stay in the tomb during the day, I really can't imagine where it would go?
After Uncle Jiang heard my speculation, I also touched the beard on my chin, gently twisted a handful with my hand, and started thinking seriously.
After a long while, he clapped his hands, as if he had made a decision, and said loudly: "Okay, it's better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. Just listen to Lin Jiu, let's dig!"
After that, Uncle Jiang raised his legs and was about to leave. Before he could go out, he turned to Jiang Tao and said, "You and Lin Jiu stay here, wait for me to come back, and don't run away again."
After saying that, Uncle Jiang took a step and ran out. Regardless of the people in their forties or fifties, they ran no slower than us young people.
Seeing Uncle Jiang running out, my mood became even heavier. After all, the decision I made was related to the lives of more than 8,000 people in seven villages in Dongtan Town. This feeling of pressure was really unbearable. It feels so good.
"Would you like one?"
A familiar voice came, and I looked up. It was Jiang Tao handing over a cigarette.
I smiled bitterly, then took it, squatted on the ground again, didn't light it, just held it in my mouth.
"I don't know you well yet. When you are in trouble, you like to squat on the ground and show this expression. Only then will you accept the cigarette I hand you." Jiang Tao smoked a cigarette by himself while talking to him. I said.
"Don't you tell me, I didn't realize that I still have this habit?" I sighed and said.
"It's really difficult for you to be involved in this unreasonable disaster. If this happens, everyone will be afraid." Jiang Tao continued.
I was indeed in a dilemma, but it was definitely not what Jiang Tao thought that I was afraid, but because my decision would involve the lives of many people. At this time, my fear was no longer important.
At this time, just as long as Jiang Tao smoked a cigarette, Uncle Jiang had already led a group of people and trotted over with various farm tools in their hands.
As he spoke, he came right in front of me.
"Lin Jiu, I've found the man, tell me, how to dig?" Uncle Jiang thrust the hoe in his hand into the ground and said to me.
When I saw this formation, I was really shocked. There were at least twenty or thirty people standing in front of me, all holding things in their hands.
Seeing so many people was really inspiring, and my heart was like, fuck it, do it!
"If you see the red soil on the ground, dig along the red area. Dig until you can't see the red anymore. Then change places until you can see the bricks!" I pointed at the blood and soil behind me and said loudly. .
As soon as I finished speaking, the villagers rushed to the big pit and started digging!
It seemed that Uncle Jiang had already completed the mobilization work before coming, so the villagers didn’t ask me any more questions!
Although many of these villagers no longer farm, they are all farmers after all, so when it comes to hoeing and digging, they naturally do it with their hands. Digging is very fast, and the big pit in front of them is visible to the naked eye. The speed is sinking.
It should be arriving soon! !
