The group of people had been quiet for a while before they heard boss Li say: "Originally, I wouldn't tell others about this kind of thing, but everyone has followed me for so long, I think you are your own, since you want to know , Let me just talk about it. "

The young man was immediately excited and said: "That dare to have a good relationship, let us tell you, we still have to guess, if you have any special skills, you can find the location of the ancient tomb as soon as you find it."

Boss Li paused again, and it sounded unwilling to talk, saying, "There is no such god, but it is actually not a secret. This matter is related to my ancestors. There is such a thing in my genealogy. I say it. You listen. "

Boss Li said something interesting:

"That was what happened in the Northern Wei Dynasty. There were a lot of wars in the wild. I didn't know how many battles I fought a day. The adults were all dead. My ancestors were less than six years old, so they had to go to herd and maintain their family.

In that year, riots occurred near their village. Officers and soldiers came to suppress them. The villagers fled. The family members did not have time to leave. They were stuck in the house. The outside was killed and dim until the third day.

My ancestors were trembling and secretly crawled out to see that there were corpses all over the ground, and many people were still breathless. He was frightened and ran to find his cow. When he entered the barn, he saw that the cow was gone, but there was a wounded soldier lying in the straw.

The soldier was a dumb man, he couldn't speak, and he was badly injured. My ancestor was too young at that time, and could not tell whether it was an officer or a rebel. Just looking at his pity, he took some water for him to drink, and gave him cloth to stop the bleeding. But the dumb injury was so serious that it didn't work long enough.

When he was dying, he took out a roll of burlap filled with words and gave it to my ancestor. He also made a gesture to keep it safe.

Unfortunately, my ancestor's house was illiterate, and I didn't know what was written on it. Later that year, because of the cold, many people died in the cold. The family used this cloth as cloth and made cotton.

As an adult, my ancestor was recruited as a soldier. In the battles of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he was repeatedly meritorious and was later mentioned as a school captain, but because of the weakness of his years, the dynasty renewed too quickly. In his later years, his family decayed gradually. At the time of death, only the cotton coat was left for the funeral.

After, our family went through several ups and downs, and by the late Qing Dynasty, it was already a landlord. When the ancestral grave was moved once, several long-term workers were not careful and tilted the coffin, and the bones in it were fallen to the ground. While cleaning up the bones, my grandfather discovered that everything in it was ruined, but the cloth in the funerary coat was still intact.

My grandfather felt weird. He gave this cloth to a person in his family who was doing antique business. At first glance, he found that the cloth was not too small. The words on it were called dumb, and they could only be understood by legendary dumb people. word. "

Boss Li came here and asked them: "Do you know what this cloth is used for?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and a voice that they had n’t heard before said, "This one is slightly heard. At that time, an army in Northern Wei was dumb. This thing was the secret message they sent. The words on it were all" dumb. " Ordinary people still do n’t understand, and I still listen to my uncle ’s words. "

Boss Li nodded and said, "After all, Master Shi is Master Shi, then do you know, what is this army doing?"

The master laughed, "I don't know very well, but I heard that this army of the Northern Wei Dynasty followed Cao Cao's Mo Jin school captain, and Mingli was the emperor's guard, and secretly did the ups and downs business, because It ’s dumb, and they use dumb scripts that only they know, so only the tomb they fell on, and only the emperor and the emperor, their tracks have always been very mysterious. "

Speaking of this, the master paused and seemed to think of something, and asked, "Boss Li, could the piece of sackcloth you said actually be" Hemuji "?"

Boss Lee laughed suddenly, nodded proudly, and said, "It's awesome, there's a master, you're here, I can't sell it even if I want to sell a pass. Yes, that's it."

The master took a breath and replied: "That's awesome. It's not the same life as the same person. With this thing, it's time for the Li family to get rich."

The young man couldn't understand it, and asked Master Ye, "What is Hemuji? What's the relationship with the ancient tomb?"

Master said: "It is said that after the dumb army found the ancient tomb, it was usually not in a hurry to excavate, but recorded it, stepped on it with horses, poured iron slurry, and retrieved it according to the record when needed. The thing at the tomb is called "Hemuji", where to take the meaning of the tomb. "

The young man was surprised and said: "I'm leaning, so to speak, the last few fights we fell to were all the news from this? Wow, boss Li, then you're so unreal. Baby, it ’s time for us to share it. "

Boss Li smiled, "It's not exactly that. The things on the ancestors are not exhausted. The white cloth in the coffin of our ancestors records the positions of the 24 ancient tombs. The one we are going to is the last one. But this one should be the best of all the ancient tombs. "

The young man asked, "Does it say anything, what's in it?"

Boss Li frowned and said, "That's not detailed, but the white cloth says that the baby in this fight can't bear it, it's the best among the best, it's three points better than Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. Wrong, you believe me. "

I and Lao Itching heard here, and already knew that they came here, they did have a goal, but we did not expect that these people were so big. Old itch asked me: "You--what did you say that this surnamed Li said is true--really? Is there anything better than Qin Shihuang's mausoleum in the world?"

I shook my head and replied: "I can't say for sure, but you can see that he swears so much that there are 10,000 and 5,000. They will definitely cross the mountain tomorrow, and we will follow."

The old itch said: "Then I--we'll just settle it down. Their goal this time should not be small. Even if they pick up what they have left, they can still be half full. Let's not go to the broken burial pit. ? "

His words were particularly stiff due to nervousness, and several words spoke particularly loudly. As soon as I heard badly, I quickly covered his mouth so that he would n’t be excited, and at the same time, he raised his ears to listen to the reaction over there, but It's too late. Suddenly it calmed down over there, and apparently noticed something strange nearby.

I and I hurriedly held our breaths and tried hard not to make a sound. Their hearts beat like drums. They didn't speak either. They seemed to be trying to listen to the sounds around them. There was no sound from both sides, and for a few minutes, the old Thai could not bear it, and said softly, "Ermako (the young man), there seems to be some movement in the back. Go and see what it is."

After listening to this sentence, I heard two clear pistol loading sounds, and suddenly a cold sweat came out. It seems that it is a gangster, this time I am afraid to kill the old itch.

I turned around and looked at the surroundings. If I run away now, I have 80% confidence that I can escape, but it will be troublesome to follow them in the future. If I do n’t run now, I am not sure that I can hide under their eyes.

While hesitating, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance. I looked towards the place where the sound was made. I saw a row of four or five flashlights approaching our side, and the mountain patrol came. At this time, Uncle Tai whispered softly: "Damn, let's talk." After that, several people hurriedly put out the fire and ran to the depths of the forest with their equipment on their backs.

The old itch was scared to death just now. Now when he saw that the man was running, he was anxious again, and he asked me quickly, "What—how to do? Chase--do not chase?"

I took a careful look at the probe and found that none of them had a flashlight. The forest was dark and there was no longer any figure, saying, "No, you see this black lamp blindingly, we might be able to chase them in front of us like this Go, let ’s take a break first, and follow their footprints tomorrow. I believe they wo n’t go too far. They have to stop and rest. ”

The old itch felt anxious and could not help. At this time, the people of the mountain patrols were already very close to us. We will not go anymore. We are probably going to be caught. I let the chattering old itch shut up and dragged him hurriedly to the depths of the forest in the other direction.

We dare not go too far, fearing that we will not find a place when we go back tomorrow. The two people hid behind a bush and watched the light of the flashlight in the distance gradually go away.

I thought about it and said to the old itch: "This way, the locals say that this season is the most rampant time for tomb robbing. I am afraid that there will not be fewer patrols this evening. Find a place to spend the night, and hurry to go inside again tomorrow, otherwise the two outsiders will be caught here and there is no way to explain. "

Old itch nodded and said yes, I shook him a bit, he was already half asleep and half awake, I sighed, wrapped my clothes, and said that it seemed that I had been guarded in the middle of the night, but I leaned against the tree, and fell asleep, unconsciously.

The next day, we woke up early in the morning. Because of sleeping under the tree, the bird's excrement fell, and I smelled so bad that I wanted to vomit, and the old itch didn't care about it anymore. To find the group of people, I couldn't bear to run around in the forest with bird's excrement, so I had to sacrifice half a pot of water and flushed.

I followed the old itch and hurried back to where I was staying yesterday. I prayed for some clues on the ground, but after several circles, we could not find the remains of the campfire yesterday. The old itch has a lot of opinions on me, and has been nagging in my ear: "So say-say, let you follow yesterday-keep up with it, you see-look, pour it now, cook-cooked duck- ─Ducks are flying. "

I was furious: "His mother, where have so many opinions, you see here is a mountain road, where can they go, we have been going forward, I can't believe it."

We chased down the mountain road and walked for a whole morning. The road was already finished. Still no trace of them was found. Then we went to an extremely dense forest. The trees climbed to the sky, the bushes were shrouded, and there were no road signs at all. I looked a little dazed in my heart, which means that the road behind this will not even go to the mountain patrol team, that is really entering the Shetou Mountain, the deep mountain and the old forest. Up to this point, it is a real mountain road, no Know how many cliffs are waiting for us to climb.

Coming along the way, I did n’t see any traces of campfires anymore, and my heart sank. These people might not have rest after they scared away from the mountain patrol last night. They went straight to the night and went forward. If this is the case, we can catch up Their chances are almost zero.

I hesitated at the end of the mountain road and made a decision immediately. The energy of the people is limited. If these people rushed all night, they will have to rest anytime during the day today, and the journey at night is much slower than during the day. Many, they must still be not far from us. There is hope for us to keep up, but we must be careful when we walk, and we can't find them.

We took out a military dagger from our backpack and hung it around our waists. The two of them each folded a large branch as a cane. There are many beasts in the Qinling Mountains. They say that there are tigers and bears when they grow up. When they are young, they say that they have wolves and wild boars.

Old itch asked me, what should I do if I can't catch up with them? I thought about it in my heart and said to him: "According to the information I checked before I came, there are a lot of temporary shacks built by medicinal people in this mountain. There are cooking utensils, firewood and air-dried meat. If we can find one, then You can take a good rest tonight and then plan again. "

The old itch said: "You have to be sure, we have to go back and have a chance now, and then go in-walk, you-you see these four weeks even-there is no ghost, wait for the fan to be late in the forest Well, it ’s difficult for the Shu Road to go up to the blue sky. For thousands of years, I do n’t know how many people have died in this huge mountain of hundreds of miles, and I do n’t know if it ’s haunted at night. "

I laughed at him and said, "Where did that ambition go when I first came? I said that your **** one was a paper talker. It was difficult for me to reach the Shu Road before I reached the mountain. Do you dare to go in, then we Just go back. "

Old itch smiled and said: "I raised the difficulty first, to see if your determination will be shaken. Now it seems that our little Wu classmates have abandoned the book angry and are approaching a rogue like us. You can rest assured, you brother and I It is definitely not a person who talks on the paper. Do n’t say that Shu is difficult, and dogs are not afraid. ”

We took the branches and knocked the bushes in front of us, while entering the jungle. We walked in the direction of a mountain in the distance. The "mountain road" without roads was very difficult to walk. The ground was almost covered with grass and vines, and the top was a dense canopy. The sunlight was extremely difficult. Take it down. I do n’t know how long I have left. I just feel that it ’s dark and dark, and everything seems to have been seen. Just when I started to wonder if we were going around in the same place, the mountain turned steep, and there was a cliff in front. Know when to build the plank road!

The plank road has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has shown a dark green damp color, with a lot of spring flowers and vines wrapped around it. It seems that no one has walked by for a long time. We were about to climb up and suddenly heard someone in the woods shouting, "Hey! What are you doing?"

I was so startled that Old Itchy turned around and looked at it. A team of horses were walking from a distance. They were all locals. There were men and women. It seemed that we were going to the village opposite the mountain like us. .

I do n’t know if I should be happy or frightened. I took a quick look and asked Old Lao to hide the dagger in my waist. Then I stepped forward and asked them sincerely, "Big brother and sister, I ’m out of town Tourists who come here want to go to the village opposite the mountain, and ask, how many mountain roads are there in the village going forward? "

A woman in a red coat looked at me and said, "Are you talking about our village? Did you come to our village to do it?"

At first glance, the women here are very vigilant. They said, "I came to find someone. I visited your village two years ago. At that time, an old man had hosted me. This time I came back to see him, but for two years. If it does n’t come, the road wo n’t go. ”

The middle-aged woman glared at me and scolded, "Wow, just like your thief, who knows what you feel for! You are so common with people like you, either digging graves or poaching , Want to lie to the old lady, you are not hot enough. "

I was dumbfounded by her, and I did n’t know how to talk back. The old itch pushed me aside and cracked. A hundred pieces were handed to the middle-aged woman and said, "Which--what crap, Which of your eyes saw us dig the grave, and answer the question politely, this-this one-one hundred is yours, his mother, dare to dare again-wordy, I gave you a slap. "

There are still a few strong men in this team. I listen to the old itch, my heart is worse, the mountain is tough, you dare to say this, I took a step back and prepared to slip away. Who knows that a man behind this middle-aged woman saw the money and immediately took it with a smile, said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, my daughter-in-law is joking with you, you want to go to my village, you have to go to the left and bypass There is a waterfall on the top of this mountain. The water along this waterfall is going straight forward. That is the fastest way to cross the mountain. As long as you follow the mountain stream, you will definitely be able to reach I village. "

Old grinned, asked: "You deceive people, go around, isn't it faster to go on this path?"

The man said: "I don't know what the road was repaired in years, it has never been reinforced, and now no one dares to go."

I heard the tongue in my heart, and said that I was lucky to meet them. I just walked away and almost went up. I do n’t know what to do if I want to get stuck on it.

The man looked at the sky and said, "Oh, I don't think you can catch up tonight. You have to spend the night in this mountain. There are several tributaries in the mountain stream. If you are not familiar with it, you will definitely get out of it, Otherwise, let ’s go there to fight pigweed. If you do n’t wait for us, we will go back to the village tomorrow and walk with us. It ’s all right. ”Then he came to help me get the equipment.

When I saw him, he was quite enthusiastic. It didn't look like a bad person. I quickly figured it out. The place we are going to is the canyon on the other side of Shetou Mountain. It took us nearly three days to turn this mountain. The weight of people is limited, it is impossible to bring more than ten days of dry food. After we cross this mountain, we must still go to their village to buy something. The five people walking in front of us are now gone. Now, it is rare to meet people now, so there is no need to risk getting lost.

I exchanged glances with Lao Ti, and nodded quickly: "That big brother, thank you, come and come--" As he took out his cigarettes, he gave each of them a few.

The middle-aged woman still wanted to be wordy, the man gave him a glare, she was white and we dared not say anything.

The atmosphere in the mountains. Generally, men are the head of the house, and women have little status to speak. As long as they have a good relationship with a few men, these village aunts ca n’t do anything with us. I looked at the expression of the middle-aged woman and laughed inwardly.

We joined their team, the man is the oldest, it seems that he doesn't need to do much work, and the old itch concentrates his firepower close to him. The man told us that he is the secretary of the village. This village is too backward. Although the electricity is connected, the transportation is inconvenient to develop. Now the young people are running out and no one is doing farm work. These cadres have to catch up. Dozens of miles of mountain road came out to fight hogweed. However, he has problems with his waist, and he will have to rest for a long time.

I responded to it with emotion in my heart. These people are not easy.

We walked with them for a while, and when they came to a place, they started to work. We looked at the terrain on the side, but here the mountain was low, and the view over the mountain could not be fully seen, only that the mountain was connected to the mountain , A piece of lush green, the burial pit that Lao Tie said, don't know where in the Guangao Mountains?

It was already evening after weeding pigweed, we helped carry a large bale of grass that was almost my size, and walked back with the sunset for about an hour. The sky was getting dark, and walking, I suddenly It was found that the old itch's expression had changed. His eyes looked around and kept aiming.

I asked him what he was doing, and he whispered, "I visited this place last time. If I remember correctly, I must have a foothold if I go forward."

Sure enough left, there was a wooden shack of a medicinal person in front. The old itchy expression was excited and gave me a wink, meaning that I was right? The man opened the door and turned back to me and said, "We will spend the night here today, and there is a stove. You can cook if you want."

I followed them in and found that this is a two-story shack connected by a ladder, above which is an attic, without furniture, but covered with a few large wooden planks, there is a pit in the center of the room, which is filled with charcoal, believe It is used to heat a fire. We put down our equipment, picked up some firewood outside, and quickly set fire to keep warm. Then he took out the dry food from the bag and baked it directly to eat. When we finished eating, the outside was already black and there was a cry of the beast all around.

The old tickle a cigarette, and asked the village branch secretary what kind of beast it was, and the latter couldn't tell clearly. The people who hunted here had long since died, and they wanted to know the old people in the village. He also said: "At night, each of us men can only sleep for half a night. Someone has to watch this fire to prevent it from extinguishing, otherwise the outside beast will come in."

I ’m not sure. I ’m tired enough to drive this day. I thought I might have to do this for several weeks in the future. I could n’t help but feel a bit regretful. I said to the old itch, "I ’ll keep the last shift, I will fight first. A nap, you wake me up in the middle of the night to change shifts. "As soon as he finished speaking, he protested loudly, but I was so confused that I didn't know what he was talking about and soon fell asleep.

This sleep was not very stable, and I was tossing and turning. In the middle of the night, someone suddenly shook me and opened my eyes to see that everyone else was sleeping. Old itch was looking around while gently pushing me. Whispered: "Get up, get up!"
