Just when everyone was confused, the fourth brother suddenly said, "I remember that a book I read talked about a method of turning a kite over. Is it feasible?"
Liu Xin thought for a while and said, "It's unrealistic. The other burglar's hole is too far away. Drilling a hole down there with such a long length will increase all kinds of risks. There once was an old man who drilled a very long hole in order to hide it from others." The long hole was first diagonal and then horizontal, and in the end he almost died from lack of oxygen within a few meters of the tomb."
At this time, Lao Li said, "I have an idea! Look at this."
Liu Xin went to the village chief's house and told the village chief that the Taoist priest had said that he would have to perform rituals for three days before he could be buried in peace. Now he had gone back to collect his clothes and tools. She brought two items to the village chief. Just a sheep. The car came in the evening and brought it over to express my gratitude to the village chief. We also hired a song and dance troupe to sing in the village for three days. I just don’t know where to put the stage.
The village chief laughed and said it was okay, he would arrange everything, and asked polite questions such as how his aunt was doing. Everyone exchanged a few polite words, and Liu Xin left.
In the evening, the truck unloaded a bunch of various Taoist supplies at the cemetery, such as feudal lords, flags, table bells, candles and other utensils. Then there were many empty oil drums with both ends cut open.
Liu Xin followed the car to deliver sheep to the village chief's house, and then arranged for the song and dance troupe to perform. My fourth brother and I were playing with the oil barrels. I couldn't help but ask, "Okay, Lao Li, how did you get this thing twice?" ah."
"If you have ever sold roasted sweet potatoes, you will know it. I have sold roasted sweet potatoes before. The oven is modified from this kind of barrel."
Lao Li is responsible for digging the hole, the fourth brother is responsible for unloading the tube, and I am responsible for processing the dug out sand. This sand is much easier to handle than the soil dug out from the previous robbery holes. As long as it is dug out and dried for a while, it will be no different from the sand on the surface.
After a while, when Liu Xin came back to take charge of releasing the wind, we had already loaded four oil barrels.
To be honest, this empty oil drum is good in every way, but the surface is too smooth. If no one is pulling on it, you can't even think about coming up after it goes down.
At dawn the next day, everything was finally completed. My fourth brother and I quickly pulled Lao Li up. Then a long table was used to cover the main entrance of the cave, and the tape recorder continued to play Taoist music. Lao Li sat there with his eyes closed and meditated, but he actually fell asleep.
My fourth brother and I leaned on the three-piece set of tombstones and fell asleep unconsciously. We don’t know how long it took, but suddenly an old voice woke us up.
"Young man, please wake up, you can't do this."
I was so frightened that I turned over and took a closer look. It turned out that the village chief was here. When he saw that I was awake, he said, "Look at your driver, he will be punished for being like this."
I saw my fourth brother hugging a paper-tied woman on the ground, with a paper-tied chicken pillow under his head, and his saliva was dripping like a dropper.
I kicked him, and the fourth brother quickly got up, straightened his clothes, and turned his head to the side unhappily.
I also wanted to say something: Lao Li came over now, but he was too sleepy to see clearly, but now it is interesting to see that this guy looks like a human.
Lao Li said, "Donor, may I ask how much you are worth this year?"
The village chief said, "I am 58 this year."
Lao Li calculated again and said, "Well, you are 58 years old, so you are born in the year of Jiawu in the lunar calendar, and in the year of the horse. I would like to advise the donor to avoid it earlier, for fear that the eight characters will be in conflict with each other and the five elements will be in conflict. It will not be good for the donor."
The village chief suddenly became nervous and said, "I just came to see if there was anyone who needed help. When I came, I saw the little baby falling asleep holding the paper man and paper horse. This is unlucky. Since nothing happened, I'll go back." Gone, gone”
"It's okay, village chief. We will sleep in the car for a while, and we also brought a diesel generator. When the light bulb is turned on at night, it will be bright."
"That's ok, let's walk then. You've finished your work, come back to where I am and go again." The village chief held it in for a long time and finally burst out.
"Don't worry, village chief. You will definitely go if you take your time..."
After sending the village chief off, everyone discussed it and decided not to take it lightly during the day, so they should still stand guard in shifts.
At night, Lao Li carefully unloaded the tube alone, tinkered for a while, and then started digging with a steel drill. After a while, Lao Li pulled the rope and we pulled him up.
When Lao Li came up, he said he couldn't do it alone.
As usual, I changed the air first, and then waited for an hour. There was nothing unusual down there, so Lao Li and I went down.
When he reached the position, he held the steel drill, and I used the hammer to hit it vertically for nearly half an hour.
"Brother, are you okay yet?" I couldn't knock anymore.
"Brother, work harder. Without Xiao Liu's potions, I would be so tired. It's buried deep in the ground, and over time, the bricks have long been pressed tightly together."
Finally, after all the efforts of nine cows and two tigers, we pried open the first brick. Then the second and third blocks were opened. The top of the tomb is a vault structure similar to the Zhaozhou Bridge structure. What is it specifically called? I still have to do some tutoring when I go back.
After getting through, Lao Li went down first, and then I handed him his backpack, and then I followed him in.
Even though it’s 35 degrees hot outside. But it was extremely cold inside the tomb, and I was shivering from the cold.
"What are you afraid of? There won't be any kid zombies," Lao Li looked at me and said with a smile.
I said I'm not afraid, it's just the cold.
The flashlight shone around. The location we are in should be a passage, and for some reason there is a thick layer of soil on the ground. Sometimes it’s hard to step on, and other times it’s like stepping in a quagmire.
Lao Li said, "We have to find the coffin room quickly and leave after taking the things in the coffin. Take a few steps forward to see if the things in the ear room are easy to get."
I walked a few steps and saw the ear chambers on both sides, filled with half-buried bottles and cans of various kinds. Then he walked back for a while and saw a tomb door. Lao Li went up and pushed it, but it couldn't be pushed. I said, "Is there a mechanism or a door-sealing stone?" Lao Li said, "When you went to see the ear room just now, didn't you see the tomb door at the other end of the passage? There was nothing there, so I guess there will be no It won’t be there anymore. It can’t be opened, probably for the same reason as those bottles and jars in the ear room. There is a layer of soil behind the door.”
“Then where does this dirt come from?”
Lao Li thought for a while and said, "It was brought in by running water over time. Let's not discuss this issue for now. Hurry up and open the door to get the treasure."
Lao Li took out the steel drill and started to pry the door bit by bit. After prying open a small gap in the left door, he used the steel drill to reach in and make the soil behind the right tomb door soft and loose. After a while, the tomb door opened.
After opening it, we came to a passage. I looked around with a flashlight, and there seemed to be nothing but cold and darkness. Immediately afterwards, the second stone door was also opened.
After the door opened, there was a small step inside. After going down the step, under the illumination of two flashlights, a square coffin lay quietly on the tomb bed.
I walked around the coffin twice and found nothing. How to open this?
After searching for a long time with no results, I asked, "Could this be the same as a Russian matryoshka doll?"
Old Li Mun said calmly, "That's easy to handle. The outer layer should be made of stone."
Then before I could react, he hit me with one blow. Then came two more hammers, directly smashing the coffin lid. After cleaning up the rubble, there was a metal-colored coffin inside. Lao Li fiddled with it with a steel drill and said, "This is actually a silver-clad wood. This tomb is not big, with average specifications. He is a wealthy owner. Come on, rich man, let us see it." How was your financial resources in ancient times?"
After that, he started the coffin opening project by himself. It was not easy to open the coffin lid with a drill, hammer, chisel, and angle grinder.
Lao Li invited me to collect the treasure together, and we both went over together. Lying in the coffin was a woman about 1.6 meters tall. Wearing a mask on his face, wearing purple clothes, holding a piece of jade Ruyi in his hand, and two jade pendants on his chest. Without saying a word, Lao Li picked up the bag and packed it, except for the three things he could see. He put a chisel against the skeleton's throat and pressed hard, and he took away a small jade pendant from the skeleton's mouth. Then he picked out the body with a steel drill and placed it on the ground, poking around to see if there was anything else.
I had all kinds of jades, big and small, in the coffin. There were so many gold ware that I forgot to count them, and I filled two schoolbags with them. In the end, there was nothing left. Lao Li took off the skeleton's mask, headgear, comb, mirror, and clothes, and put them all into a bag. He said, "Spray some pure water on these, seal them quickly, and put them in the car refrigerator." , and then ask the fourth child to buy frozen mineral water as quickly as possible. If these clothes can be preserved, their value should not be cheaper than the jewelry and jade in your hand.
I said, "Look, there are murals on the top, and there is a stone tablet over there with words engraved on it." Old Li looked at it and said, "These are the four sacred beasts: green dragon, red bird, black tiger, white tiger. That cup is probably an epitaph." , this thing should be left to those archaeologists to study in the future, of course if they can find it here."
After we got our things, we returned the same way, but after pulling on the rope for a long time, there was no response. It shouldn’t be. Lao Li and I looked at each other, “What happened above?”
Finally, I pulled the rope and climbed up a little bit. Then I felt someone starting to pull me up, so I checked with Lao Li. I went up first. After I went up, Lao Li also came up. He said don't worry, the barrels had to be removed. He went down and strung all the twelve iron barrels with wires. After the strings were strong, he set up the table for the ceremony. A platform was set up on it, and all the tubes were pulled up bit by bit using the principle of leverage. As the tube was pulled up, the space below was slowly covered by the sand layer bit by bit. When it was almost dawn, Lao Li asked Liu Xin to drive her out, and my fourth brother and I were responsible for letting out the wind.
I said, so many tin barrels are still here. . No one paid any attention to me. I turned around and looked at my fourth brother and said, "Why didn't you react when I pulled the rope just now?"
The fourth brother said with a look of disgust, "What do you mean by being unresponsive? I just brought a bowl of instant noodles and was about to bring it over and sit down to eat. When you pulled the rope, I tripped and fell. Look at it. There is still sand in my mouth."
I said "Come on, I'm sorry bro."
After fifteen or six minutes, our car drove back again, followed by a truck that delivered oil barrels in the morning. When the truck arrived, Lao Li said, "We men are pretending to be here. Liu Xin, you will be responsible for loading the vacuum." The machine and everything are in your car.
The three of us men loaded up the oil drums in a while. Lao Li was about to drive away, but Liu Xin stopped him and said, Brother Li, don’t forget the rules.
After we finished speaking, we took off the metal objects from our bodies. Liu Xin searched each of us one by one and scanned them with a metal detector. After making sure there were no problems, he let him go.
After daybreak, we burned all the things we used for daily use, and I quickly found a place to take a bath. Firstly, it was not bad luck, and secondly, I was disgraced, so as not to be discovered.
At the village chief's house, I smoked a cigarette and said, "Village Chief, I guess you came to me because of my aunt's business."
The village chief said with a smile, "Who says it's not the case? Although your child's household registration and related things have nothing to do with our village, you still have to have some feelings, right?"
I laughed and said, "Once I leave, I don't know when I can come back. It's not easy to work outside, and I can't take my old aunt with me. Let's do this. This is one hundred thousand yuan. Please also The village will help me take care of it more, and after two years when my career is stable, I will come back to check on the situation."
The village chief oops, oopsed for a long time and finally let us go. The 100,000 yuan was Liu Xin's money, and he also wanted to eradicate the weeds so that the buns would not be round and the fillings would be exposed. We could go back to Hua Jianguo for reimbursement. After all, no other person besides me and the village chief would know about the one hundred thousand yuan.
We didn’t talk too much nonsense along the way. Everyone was very tired. We took Liu Xin’s car and returned quickly.
I had a dream in the back seat. In the dream, there was a very beautiful woman holding my hand and asking me if I looked good. I said it looks good. Immediately afterwards, the four sacred beasts of Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger and Xuanwu circled up and down around an orb. Suddenly the woman lowered her head and said, "When you dug up my tomb, didn't you see what was written on it?" Don't you see it? I woke up with a start. I looked around and the cars were still driving. Liu Xin was shouting, "Didn't you see the speed check just now? Didn't you see it?" Old Li drooped his head and drove the car without saying a word.
