Chapter 41 Seniors
"How could there be someone?" Xiaoya exclaimed, "Didn't it mean that no one has ever been to this tomb?"
Xie Fei didn't know how to answer, but judging from the clothes the corpse was wearing before death, it shouldn't be too far away from what it is now.
The three of them walked closer. Only the white bones of the corpse were left. They were wearing a one-piece suit, which had been torn in many places and was as brittle as burnt ash. It felt like the suit could blow when you blew on it.
It was rotten. But you could still vaguely see that the base material of the clothes was actually made of blue cloth.
The man's waist and cuffs were tied with hemp ropes, and a jumpsuit covered him loosely like a sheet. He also carried a large backpack on his back. Old Wu stepped forward and tore it apart.
I cut off the strap at the back of the backpack and took it over. The backpack was already in a state of tatters, and when I lifted it, all the contents inside flowed out.
Xie Fei stepped forward and pulled it for a while. There was a folding lever about half a meter long inside, and a set of hemp ropes with a fist-sized flying grab attached to the top. However, the hemp ropes were rotten and brittle, and they looked like soot when touched.
Broken, it is obvious that they can no longer be used. A shovel and a pickaxe have wooden handles that have been opened and closed, and are rotten, so they are obviously no longer usable.
"Look quickly and see if there's anything valuable." Old Wu said impatiently.
Xie Fei searched carefully again and found a small bag on the front of the bag. From the small bag he took out an old-fashioned aluminum-covered flashlight and a black grease-covered notebook. The flashlight was already full of holes.
The acid in the battery has also drained away. Xie Fei opened the notebook, and a strong musty smell hit his face. However, the notebook was still in good condition, and a two-inch photo was neatly pasted at the top of the first page.
On the corner of the page. The photo is an old black and white photo, with jagged cuts on the edges.
Xiaoya also stretched her head curiously, and saw that the photo of a man and a woman, both upper body, looked like a previous wedding photo. The man was wearing a white shirt, and there was a pen vaguely pinned to the breast pocket. The woman was wearing a white shirt.
The clothes she wore were not as fashionable as they are now. She wore a floral white top, with two braids on her head hanging down on her chest, and two white bows tied at the roots of her hair. Both of them had this smile on their lips, and they were really smiling.
satisfy.
"I see why this photo is the same as that of my second uncle." Lao Wu also came over and said, Cui Yuan was also married, but only a few years ago, the woman died and I don't know why she died. This is everyone's question.
Everyone knows this, but it is also Cui Yuan's taboo. No one dares to mention it in front of Cui Yuan. Since then, although Cui Yuan has come into contact with many women, the one who really made him determined to marry was...
No.
"I have seen the photo of my second uncle when he got married. He also had a pen stuck on his chest, but his second uncle was more able to show off that he also had a watch on his wrist. It was so golden." This was something that Lao Wu was naughty when he was a child.
I ran into Cui Yuan's house and rummaged through the cabinets and found it, but Cui Yuan found out about it later. He lost his temper and beat Old Wu up. Now thinking about it, Old Wu is still trembling in his heart. He has never done this before.
I have seen Cui Yuan lose such a temper.
"Everyone was the same back then. Wearing a pen or a watch on their chest was just to show that they were educated, nothing special." Xiaoya turned around and said.
Xie Fei squatted aside and said nothing. What he cared about was not the photo but whether there was any other value in the book. He flipped through another page and found that the book turned out to be a diary.
The diary is very tedious, and it probably started in 1970. The person who appears most in the first half of the diary is a person named Tingting, who is his future wife. It seems that the two of them have just gotten married and are spending time together.
Honeymoon. You can see from every line that this man is very sweet and satisfied. I feel a little jealous when I read it. However, what concerns Xie Fei the most is the second half of the diary. In this part, another character begins to slowly emerge.
Come out, this is this person's master. There is an ambiguity in every profession, and there is a difference in wealth. Therefore, the history of tomb robbing in China is mostly about fathers and sons, brothers, relatives and even friends. This does not mean that the Chinese people have good quality.
What a corruption, but the Chinese people are really poor and afraid, and it’s not that there are no sects like this, but very few. If these people don’t take action, they will already have many well-known big tombs, just like the ones on the road.
The phone call is the same, 'If you don't work for three years, you won't have any worries, and the moment you open the restaurant, everything will be golden.' In the past, what would ordinary people do when they encountered a large tomb? They would find a few people they were familiar with. These people had craftsmanship, good technology, and experience.
But the most important thing is to have a good reputation. The network from all over the world is connected, which is what the Taoists call "Jia Lama."
Xie Fei looked back again and found that there were only a few pages left in the diary.
Qi Yin in the autumn of 1979
Autumn is just about to end, but famine has begun again. I really don’t know what’s going on these days. I went to the black market this morning and bought some corn. It’s really expensive. The rice is almost hairy. Who would have eaten this stuff before?
Tingting's belly has been getting bigger and bigger in the past few days. The pointy belly must be a baby. Two days ago, the third child said she was a girl and asked me to beat her up.
The master came back the day before yesterday and didn't talk about it for a long time. He said it again yesterday. I originally planned not to continue working. I have enough money on hand. On the other hand, Tingting's belly is getting bigger day by day.
It makes me feel uneasy, just think that the child is extremely virtuous. The blind man at the door, Chen, is as good at telling fortunes as a god, and he can predict everything accurately, but after looking forward to it for most of his life, he still doesn't get it. People say he leaked it.
He had too many secrets. God punished him, and later he stopped telling fortunes. Unexpectedly, a year later, his wife actually had a fortune teller. But when the child grew up, he realized that he was a fool.
They all started to say that it was because he leaked too many secrets, and you can tell God's things if you can.
I thought about it all night and decided to help the master finish it this time. After I finished it, I took Tingting back to my hometown. A few days ago, I heard from a fellow villager that there was a famine at home. I really don’t know how my father and mother are doing.
. If there is no master these days, how can we still have the good life now? Maybe I will starve to death a long time ago. The master is now short of people. If I just slap my ass and leave again, my heart will really be eaten by a dog. Besides, the master is an old man.
I also said that as long as I succeed this time, I will be rich for a lifetime, but I can’t let Tingting suffer with me anymore.
Light snow in the winter of 1979
It must be winter now, well, forget it, the first snow has already started to fall. I just found out today that the master has an apprentice. This junior apprentice is very capable, much more capable than me. It turns out that he is
Now there are red and purple "Six Inch Nails" on the road. I used to hear them saying that these "Six Inch Nails" are so weird and weird. But today I saw it and realized that they are just talking nonsense. Junior Brother, you have to take a look.
He still looked silly and silly.
"It turned out to be Six Inch Nails." Lao Wu said with a big mouth and couldn't believe it. "This was a person who was very popular more than 20 years ago, but he was only famous for such a short period of time, and finally disappeared unexpectedly.
It’s gone, there’s no trace of it disappearing.”
"Is he very powerful?" Xiaoya asked
"Of course, others say he is a born tomb robber."
Xie Fei felt sad after listening to what the two said. However, he still stared at the diary and continued to read down.
I secretly glanced at the second child and the third child. Their faces were also uncertain. However, if you don’t agree with me, the fourth child has the unique skill of "bone shrinking" passed down from his family. When he shrinks, he is not even half a man.
The child is taller and looks even more stupid. It seems that each of the master's apprentices is stronger than the other, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, I am about to leave, and it is good to have such a young apprentice to take care of the master.
.
It has been booked, and we will start working next week. One person has one place. What is unexpected is that the master said, "As long as I succeed this time, I will wash my hands and never work in this industry again." The second and third sons listened.
I was also surprised, but I was secretly happy. Tingting, our good days are not far away, waiting for me.
Xie Fei turned over another page. This chapter was a bit short.
Clear winter in 1979
Today, Tingting suddenly said that she felt like the baby in her belly was no longer jumping, which scared me to death. I went to the hospital for a checkup and found that everything was fine. All the juniors left yesterday, and I was close to them. The master allowed me to leave one day later.
Tingting has already gone home. She suddenly dragged me and refused to let me go. How could this work? The master had already planned it. She said a few days ago that she was very flustered and I even went to see the master.
Well, the master said that women are like this when they give birth to a baby for the first time, and I think it is the same. I will be back in a few days, and the baby will be born by then. When the baby is a little older, I will immediately go back to my hometown of Zhumadian.
