Chapter 119 The tomb robber
###119 The tomb robber
Seeing Xiangu enter Anyuan Hall, Xiaoyu felt anxious, pulling Ye Xiaolou and saying: "Master, what should we do now? Let's go in together."

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaolou not only showed no signs of anxiety, but also complained that the weather was too hot at noon, and suggested that he go back to the tea shop he just passed by for a bowl of tea.

Xiaoyu was worried that if An Zhuyan's father's sarcophagus was found by people who came to hunt for treasure, and if the secrets in it were taken away by others, wouldn't it be possible to save the master?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, but Ye Xiaolou asked: "How many days until the fifteenth?"

Xiaoyu calculated and replied: "Seven days."

"Master, there is one more thing I don't understand."

"Let's just say you are stupid and can count from one to ten the things you don't understand."

"What are you counting from one to ten, master? What are you talking about?"

"If you say you are stupid, be careful. Let me ask you, sky one, earth two, sky three, earth four, sky five, earth six, sky seven, earth eight, sky nine, earth ten. From one to ten. What is it?"

Xiaoyu's thoughts were all on "The Ballad of Dividing the Sea", so she couldn't figure out what Ye Xiaolou was talking about. She just thought he was criticizing her for being shallow in knowledge and not understanding anything.Disappointed, he said: "No, Master. This matter is of great importance, and I can't just sit back and ignore it. I just heard the girl talk about "The Ballad of Dividing the Sea". I don't know if the "Ballad of Dividing the Sea" she mentioned is what I meant. I know "The Ballad of Dividing the Sea"."

Ye Xiaolou looked up at the sky. After a while, he finally said, "Do you really know "The Ballad of Dividing the Sea"?"

Xiaoyu nodded cautiously, "Yes, "The Ballad of Dividing the Sea" is very important to me."

Ye Xiaolou raised his lips slightly, raised his hand slightly, and the little white horse kicked its legs a few times and got into the flower forest to the east of Anyuan Hall.

"I'm thirsty. Let's talk as we walk. The tea shop in front of us is not far from here. Anyway, there is still some time before dark."

The two of them walked side by side, not like a master and a disciple, but like a pair of childhood sweethearts.

Unfortunately, both of them had their own worries, and Xiaoyu's worries were particularly complicated. She tried to figure out what happened underwater, but she couldn't figure it out for a while. She was convinced of the importance of "The Ballad of Dividing the Sea" undoubtedly. "The Ballad of Parting the Sea" must not fall into the wrong hands.The heaven and earth will overturn, the sea water will pour in, and the mountains will be scorching with fire. This must never happen.

As I was walking and thinking, I suddenly felt pain in my waist. I saw a girl running and shouting, "Help, help, I didn't steal anything, help."

Ye Xiaolou looked at the girl who looked like she was only seven or eight years old. She was holding a bag of things in her arms. Her legs were not long, but her steps were much faster than those of ordinary children. With his current skills, he might not be able to catch up with this girl.

The adult chasing behind was also out of breath. As soon as he got closer, the girl ducked behind a pine tree, made a face, turned around and shouted to Xiaoyu, "Sister, I'm sorry."

After saying that, he shouted again: "The thief is here, folks, come quickly."

Xiaoyu didn't expect that the girl would suddenly attract someone to her. When she chased him, she saw the girl's figure swaying and quietly disappearing into the woods nearby.

Ye Xiaolou said: "I can't keep up with your speed now. Can Miss Xiaoyu please wait a moment?"

A wave of shame surged through Xiaoyu's heart, and she apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, master, I was so anxious just now that I forgot about it."

At this time, the two of them had entered the forest, and heard someone behind them say: "Stop chasing, wait until the people from Qingxia Mountain arrive before entering the forest. This forest is very strange. There are often wild beasts with fur as white as bears, which appear in the evening." Ziru is still making strange noises, and we don’t know what kind of monster it is, so we will guard here. If the little thief comes out, we will catch her. If she doesn’t come out, she will probably be eaten by the monster."

I heard a few echoes, "Okay, we will wait here, the sun will set in a few hours."

"Old Wu, what exactly was stolen from your home?" "Today, I happened to go to pay homage to my father's grave with my wife and children. Unexpectedly, I saw a fire in front of my father's grave in the distance. The pine trees I picked a few years ago were burning.

My wife and I didn't dare to rush forward to find out what was going on, so we hid in the distance and watched secretly. However, the smoke was very strong, and the wind just drove the smoke towards our faces, as if we had eyes, and we were stung by the smoke. Tears, when the wind passed and the fire was extinguished, we ran to the grave and took a look. The soil was all shoveled away, the coffin was exposed, and dad’s bones were exposed to the sun, giving off bursts of stench. "

One person laughed and said, "What joke are you talking about? How many years has it been since your father died, and this coffin is just a pile of dead bones when opened. Where is the smell coming from?"

"What I tell you is the truth. Don't believe me. I've heard people talk about the stench coming from the coffin before. I didn't believe it at that time, but my father's coffin also had a stench. Now. I think what happened to several families in the east of the city a while ago is also true. The coffins that were buried decades ago were dug up by grave robbers, and there was a stinky smell, as if a dead rat had made a nest."

"Your family is so poor, what is the child looking for in your father's coffin?"

"I don't know either, and the kid's behavior was extremely weird. Not only did he burn down the tree in front of our grave, but he also damaged the coffin into a state of disgrace. He didn't look like a thief at all. It was like a wild beast that was chipping away at the wood."

"So, has anyone seen what this kid looks like? Has it appeared in the city before?"

"I haven't seen it before. When the child saw us, he ran over and turned to us and laughed a few times. The distance was less than ten feet away and the smoke dispersed. We should be able to see clearly what the child looked like.

But it was scary to say that I didn't see the child's face clearly at all. "

"I think you were possessed and made us travel all this way in vain. I'm afraid the tomb robber and the house robber are not the same thief."

Several men complained one after another.

A person who looked like a leader interrupted them, "Miss Liu Ying from Qingxia Mountain has already arrived in Youcheng. We should wait until they come to discuss this matter. Now, if you are willing to wait here, just wait. If you don't want to wait, just wait. Let's go back."

Xiaoyu looked at Ye Xiaolou, and Ye Xiaolou said, "Just make up your mind."

After finishing speaking, he found a quick rock and sat down.

Xiaoyu thought that if she went out now, she would inevitably be regarded as an accomplice of the thieves and delay her business, but that was not okay.

The forest doesn't look big, maybe you can get around these people by walking through the forest.After making a decision in her heart, she opened the package that the girl had planted for her and saw that it turned out to be a few bones.

Ye Xiaolou frowned slightly, "A few bones can scare you like this? You are really a child who has not grown up. You see, people are younger than you and can already rob graves. Do you know that there are many people in the cemetery?" There are many treasures.”

At this time, this person is still thinking about money. It is true that people are dying and cannot change their nature.

"Master, let's walk forward. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time when the people from Qingxia Mountain enter the forest. Senior An said, don't meddle in things. Don't meddle in anything that happens on the road."

Ye Xiaolou nodded.

In front of the forest, there are smoke and mist, and the bamboo forest is sparse but does not let in the sunlight.

The voices outside the forest became farther and farther away, and gradually, the two of them seemed to have entered a mist.
