Take the Fox Fairy To Catch the Ghost

Chapter 31 Quicksand Tomb

On the first day, Fu Hongshan and the three of them took turns digging the thief hole, dug the thief hole nearly five meters deep. Although the depth of nearly five meters is the soil layer, this speed and efficiency are in the business of tomb robbery. It's pretty good. From this it can be seen that Hu Qingguo was able to recruit such a subordinate, and it was also his capital for the tomb robbery to this day.

From the five-meter-deep soil, Hu Qingguo and the others were able to smell the atmosphere of the ancient tomb becoming stronger and stronger based on their own experience. In other words, Jiang Yilong and I did not narrow down the slightest deviation. Even if Hu Qingguo didn't say anything, I could still see the recognition of me and Jiang Yilong from the look on his face.

As night fell, Chen Qing and the three of them had stopped digging, and the few of us set up the three tents we had brought beforehand. Liu Dafu cooked a pot of noodles and shouted at us: "Everyone is tired, come on. Come to eat."

"Hey, it's noodles again. I have eaten it twice a day today." After a day's hard work, physical energy is naturally consumed, and Fu Hongshan's complaint is reasonable.

Hu Qingguo smiled and said, "It's okay. After you find the tomb and take your things and leave, I invite you to eat a week’s feast. Whether you are flying in the sky or swimming in the water, as long as you can buy it with money What you want to eat is enough."

"Master Xiao Hu is considerate of us." Chen Qing finished flattering, and looked at Fu Hongshan and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Master Hu didn't open a small stove, and it's not the same as what we eat. "

Fu Hongshan glared at Chen Qing, shut up, and ate the noodles for himself.

Liu Dafu said: "It's okay, so I will go back to the village early tomorrow morning and bring some meat to cook for everyone."

"Uncle Liu, don't lie to me." Fu Hongshan said again.

Liu Dafu definitely said: "How can I lie to you, don't worry."

Hu Qingguo's expression was a little strange, he looked at everyone, and finally fell on Liu Dafu. "Uncle Liu, you still have to be careful when doing things and take care of the overall situation. Just eat and drink for a while, and it will be bad if something bad happens."

Liu Dafu immediately heard it plainly, and he said with a smile, "Little Hu, don’t worry, don’t you know the people in this village if you don’t understand me? Besides, I’ll be careful, even if someone bumps into it, I’m It is impossible to be stupid to say what we are doing here."

"Ah That's good."

After eating, Fu Hongshan and the others did not continue to dig holes. The reason is simple. The conditions here are special. Even if we stay here to dig for ten and a half months, no one may find out. Secondly, the three of them have worked hard all day, and the sky is too dark, which is not conducive to digging. Even if you want to buy time, there is no need to deliberately squeeze them during this time period. Moreover, it is too unhuman to do so.

It's just that the resources we bring are limited, there are only three tents, and now we have eight people. Finally, after we discussed it, Little Hu naturally needed one, and Jiang Yilong, Bai Ling, and Liu Dafu were almost idlers. Since they are idlers, of course it is not easy to grab them with them, so they left the two tents for Fu Hongshan and the others. After all, they are now the main force in our team. They have not been able to rest well, and the time has been delayed, which is not good for everyone.

The four of us put the sheets we brought beforehand on the grass and surrounded the fire, boasting to pass the time. Liu Dafu is more able to talk than we do. From his childhood to the present, most of them are entertainment events such as playing and tricking people when he was a child. At that time, we were happy after listening to it for a long time. In addition, what he mentioned the most was regretting murder...

We comforted for a while, and finally, as we talked, everyone fell asleep.

The next day, early in the morning, we ate the dried food we brought, and Fu Hongshan and the others moved their muscles and bones to continue their boring work. And Liu Dafu was ready to go back to the village just like he promised Hong Shan last night. When he was about to leave, Hu Qingguo asked him again, and he replied with peace of mind.

Fu Hongshan and the others only went down to the robbery hole and dug for only an hour, and I don’t know if we did this because of a violation of the heavens. Even the gods couldn’t pass it. There was no sign of warning, and two thunders suddenly struck. Then it started to rain. We had to stop work and squeeze in the tent, and the thunderstorm did not stop until about noon.

Seeing that Liu Dafu, who had returned to the village, had not yet returned, we had to continue to eat cold bread and other dry food to fill the five internal organs temple, but at this moment, Liu Dafu was wet and carrying a basket with a few killed chickens inside. He also brought some green vegetables and bacon in the jar, and appeared in front of us limping in mud.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I kept everyone waiting. I accidentally fell, so I walked a little slower." Although Liu Dafu smiled on his face, his facial muscles twitched slightly when he walked.

"Uncle, are you okay?" Fang Wenhu quickly took the back basket and said.

"I'm okay, I'll make good food for you." Seeing Hu Qingguo walked up to him, he quickly said: "Little Hu, don't worry, no one will see me."

Hu Qingguo handed a cigarette to Liu Dafu, patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, don't worry, you can get things done here and you will go back with us. As for the future, you won’t need it. Just follow me if you want to ask for a living. It just so happens that I still lack a cook who can cook good dishes."

Liu Dafu seemed very excited, and for a while, he was speechless.

"Uncle, what are you doing, don't you want to thank you, Master Hu."

"Ah, thank you Little Hu." After a pause, Liu Dafu said again: "However, what I committed is not simple. Will it cause Little Hu to trouble him?"

Hu Qingguo waved his hand and said, "It's no big deal. It's just killing people. To be honest, I also have a few lives in my hands. Isn't it good so far? Haha."

According to the contact with Liu Dafu in the past two days, he did kill people. However, although Liu Dafu’s character was a bit stubborn since he was a child, the essence is not bad. Moreover, for a person like him, to be honest, I still I like contacting him very much. "Uncle Liu, if I help you see, I still know how to get a little bit of pain."

"It's okay, it's okay, I can't bear this bit of pain, how can I do big things with Xiaohu in the future, haha."

After Liu Dafu got Hu Qingguo's affirmative reply, it is now his happiest smile in front of us. Of course, even so, I can't just watch him limping in front of us during this period of time. So taking advantage of him to prepare food for us, we hurriedly went with Jiang Yilong and Bai Ling to gather some herbs on the nearby hillside, and finally grind the herbs on his sprained ankle.

This meal made us all very happy, but because of the temporary weather changes today, the speed of digging holes will definitely be delayed. However, Hu Qingguo was also very kind to this point, and did not deliberately urge Fu Hongshan and the others.

It dug nearly five meters on the first day, less than two meters on the second day, and only four meters on the third day. The thief hole, which is more than ten meters deep, has long exceeded the height of the soil layer, and it is already a hard rock layer when it is about eight meters deep. However, just when Fu Hongshan and the others were about to continue digging, they suddenly stopped.

Fu Hongshan and Chen Qing under the thief cave both reached the ground by the pulley frame. When Hu Qingguo was still in shock, Chen Qing looked very excited and handed what they were holding to Hu Qingguo. "Lord Hu, look, this is dug out from below."

What Chen Qing held in his hand was just a handful of yellow muddy sand. This was not surprising at first, but after Hu Qingguo took it, he was overjoyed. "I'll just say, I'll just say hiding so deep, it's definitely not that simple, haha."

Bai Ling said, "Little Hu, why are you smiling so happily?"

"You don't understand." Not only Bai Ling didn't understand, but Jiang Yilong and Liu Dafu didn't understand me. Seeing that the faces of the three of us were almost the same, Hu Qingguo continued: "This is a kind of anti-theft in ancient times. The method is called a quicksand tomb. This kind of tomb was very difficult when it was built, but the anti-theft effect is very good. For tombs like this, the tombs are usually filled with dried fine sand, or at least a few. Tons, as many as hundreds of tons. Once the thief dug a hole, it will be filled with fine sand immediately. Of course, if you are not careful, people will be buried alive by the fine sand."

Bai Ling said: "Since it is a quicksand tomb, it adds to the difficulty for us. Why are you still so happy? Shouldn't it be worrying?"

Hu Qingguo said three things in a row, and said with a smile: "When you encounter such a thing, you should really worry about it. But since you don’t know how high the cost of this quicksand tomb is, you can build a quicksand tomb for yourself at that time, do you think What kind of person is such a tomb owner? Besides, we have now discovered quicksand, which means that we are close to the ancient tomb."

According to what Hu Qingguo said, it is not difficult to guess that the owner of this tomb must have been a rich or noble person at the time. This fact is indeed beyond all of our expectations. However, happy to be happy, but also to face reality.

Jiang Yilong said: "This tomb is so strong against theft, what should I do next?"

Fang Wenhu continued: “Like this kind of quicksand tomb, if you want to be 100% safe, the only way is to take out all the sand filled around the ancient tomb. However, the time required for this process is fundamental. It can’t be done in one or two days."

"What should I do then?" I said.

"I can only find a way to make a horizontal hole and get around the quicksand layer. Although this is very risky, once it succeeds, is it possible that the fun of the ancient tomb will be scarce."
