Chapter 82 Sail with the Current
  A mouse and a fox came over to look at the paper I placed on the ground. When I saw the content on the paper clearly, I saw that the faces of the two animals were a little ugly.

The little fox asked uncertainly:
  "What can make you so panicked?"

"How about we take a look first?"

I only thought for a moment, then raised my hand and motioned for the two of them to follow.

I memorized the map in my mind and was familiar with the route. After the little fox activated the wooden cow and flowing horse, he and the big mouse kept running behind me.

In just two or three minutes, we arrived at the place where I saw the manpower just now.

The knocking sound continued, but the bones of the human hand were already visible, all the nails fell off, and even the direction of the palm was severely bent in the opposite direction due to the force of the stone.

The little fox looked at the scene in front of him, his mouth opened slowly and unconsciously, and after a long while he said:

"Is this a zombie?"

The big mouse repeatedly rubbed his eyes with his small paws, and seemed to be shocked:
  "It can still move and save itself. It's interesting. This is at least a green zombie-level zombie."

"Why is there still such a thing here?"

Yes, what is a living mummy called? Isn’t this a zombie?

My confused brain suddenly clicked. Judging from the reactions of these two people, I guess they knew how to deal with it?

The little fox pondered for a moment and said:

"The best way to deal with zombies is definitely lighting, but he's stuck here now, and we can't take him away. Why not, let's leave him alone and find the tomb first."

"I'll come down again later and carry some gasoline. Zombies are also afraid of fire, so I think I can do it."

Light, fire, green zombie.

I kept what they said secretly in my heart, and while they were not paying attention, I wrapped a small piece of green nail in paper and secretly put it into the paper bag I carried with me.

After the fox and the mouse discussed it, they looked at me with a pair of faintly excited eyes.

Are you afraid that you really think of me as an expert?

My scalp was numb, so I ignored them and continued exploring.

After getting past the constant knocking green zombie, the rest of the way seemed smoother.

The underground pits had already been torn apart by the earthquake, and they did not all collapse as I thought. Moreover, because there were many cracks, some cracked directly into the tombs.

I explored more than a dozen wrong paths before trying the right path.

Why do you know it's the right path?
  Because we followed a gap directly and came to a large funerary tombstone. On the tombstone it was clearly written——

Gao Jian, named Shouxin.

Jinshi in the first year of Dayou
  This is going directly into someone’s grave!

I don't need to worry about what happens next. The little fox and the big mouse took out the things they carried with them and started to explore around by taking advantage of their extremely small bodies.

Seeing that it had nothing to do with me and couldn't help me, I waited and read the tombstone idly.

The burial tombstone is not big, but because the font is small, it can still record thousands of words. Because it is an abbreviation of ancient characters, it can carry more things.

I read more than half of it, all of which were records of life achievements, and I felt sleepy.

It wasn't until I read a short story in the second half that I regained my energy. The short story behind is only about a few hundred words, but the words and sentences are very intense. The general meaning is——

Gao Jian had three sons, one of whom was a son born from a concubine. Because of his young age, Gao Jian loved him like an eyeball, but he was very unsatisfactory and competitive.

When he was young, he competed with his two elder brothers for playthings, and when he was studying, he competed with his brothers for famous teachers. When he got older, he saw that his brothers had passed the Imperial Academy on their own merit, so he began to blame others and begged Gao Jian to find him an official position.

When Gao Jian got an official position for his younger son despite rumors of partiality, he began to complain that the official position was too small and not enough to make a living.

Gao Jian originally thought that his younger son was too young and ignorant, and would be better if he was older. Unexpectedly, his younger son turned out to want to steal Gao Jian's treasures.

This time Gao Jian finally got angry and kicked his youngest son out of the house, and set up a monument to inform future generations that they should not accept this younger son.

There are also inscriptions on the back that are obviously from the same period, but the strokes are different, and a few more strokes are added, which means:

The third child was unfilial, and the old man Gao Jian died a few days after he was kicked out of the house. Therefore, the old man was angry to death because of the third child, and there was no other reason.

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this. Isn't this why there are three hundred taels of silver in this place?
  These descendants are also true. It is estimated that everyone knows that Gao Jian died in a bath with a maid, but because he wanted his father to have a good reputation and wanted to pour dirty water on his third son, he insisted on adding this sentence.
  I was a little helpless, so I went through it again, and then I discovered the key point that I had not discovered just now——

'treasure'

Gao Jian died shortly after the third child left.

Therefore, the treasure that Lao San intended to steal at that time was most likely the 'Longevity Pottery Urn' that Gao Jian regarded as a treasure in his later years.

But, so what if you know?

I shook my head helplessly, how long ago this happened, how could I still do housework for others?
  I left the tombstone and started looking for the little fox and the big mouse along the tomb passage.

The tombs are still more or less affected, so there are not many tombs that can be inspected.

I walked around a few rooms at random, and saw two noisy little animals digging into the mounds of rocks.

They chattered while digging:
  "I'm really convinced. Who organized the equipment? Why don't you have two shovels? How long will it take to dig?"

"Stop complaining, Sixth. Let's not talk about whether we can bring the shovel down and cross such a small passage. With our eight claws, can we get a pair of hands to use the shovel?"

"It seems so. Alas, we can only dig slowly. Neither the butcher girl nor the wooden cow and horse can help. Fortunately, the coffin is only half buried. If it is all buried, we probably won't know where to dig for a long time. .”

"That makes sense. Stop talking nonsense and go on. Finish digging quickly, get the things, and go back to save my sister-in-law."

The big mouse stopped digging at the mound of soil, then dug harder, and his voice became duller:
  "Okay, let's hurry up and go back to save my sister-in-law."

"This better be true, otherwise I will grind the bones of the person who said this into ashes last night!"

The little fox also worked hard to dig the soil:

"Designation works. He himself died here because of this thing. Why did he lie to us?"

"I am just thinking that the longevity effect of this thing does not include curing cancer. Otherwise, life is life, but cancer is so painful, my sister-in-law probably won't be able to survive it."

"After all these years, God really doesn't have any eyes for me."

It turns out what Boss Hu said was true.
  My heart sank, and I floated into the tomb, only to see a scene that made me even more shocked.

It was true that this was the main tomb, but the fox and the mouse had been digging around on the ground and didn't see his coffin, which opened a gap!
  What's going on? !
