[69 Book Bar-www.] Chapter 2 Adventures in the Ancient Tomb
Huh? - There are actually people here with ginseng? This time they have made it. It seems that no one dares to come here, which is an advantage for me. Hahahaha -"
"I have to take a closer look. There are actually ten-grade leaves? There are also a few smaller ones. It seems that I can't go home today. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that only comes once in a lifetime."
Shuirou put down her backpack and looked around carefully. She quickly found firewood and built a fire. She started digging. Throughout the night, she dug up seven old ginseng trees, large and small, with great care.
Fortunately, Shuirou has been exercising her body since she was a child, and she has a lot of energy and energy. Her eyesight is first-class, not to mention her skills in hand.
Digging this old mountain ginseng is a delicate job. You can't be hasty or careless. The key is not to break any extremely small roots, otherwise you won't be able to sell them at a good price. At least one of them will fall off.
The difference is hundreds of dollars. That's not a small amount.
Experts call it leakage of ginseng spirit or leakage of ginseng essence. Even if the ginseng is mixed with medicine, it will not achieve the expected effect.
Jiang Shuirou followed the method taught by her grandfather, using birch bark as a tube, covering the inside with moss to pack the ginseng, and then tying the bark tube to preserve its freshness and shape.
I stood up and straightened my back, feeling happy that I would get rich this time. Grandpa must be very happy, and it's time to go home and announce the good news.
Jiang Shuirou bent down to pick up the medicine basket and was about to leave when he suddenly heard the sound of "crash, clatter, clatter" falling earth coming from behind him. The strange sound shocked Jiang Shuirou's heart, and he stepped forward without hesitation.
He jumped forward and left the spot to avoid danger.
Then he quickly turned around and took a look. He saw that the place where he dug the ginseng had just opened a big hole and collapsed.
"What happened? How did it collapse? What kind of hole is this?"
Shuirou got a torch, stretched it in and lay down at the entrance of the cave to look in. It was a big stone cave, and there seemed to be the sound of running water. Listen carefully, but there was no sound of wild animals. Whatever, go in and take a look.
, curiosity really killed the cat.
Out of curiosity, Shuirou grabbed the entrance of the cave with her hands, and without thinking much, she jumped into the cave with a sudden slide. This was a natural cave, and it was very dry. The cave was also quite big. She turned around and looked around.
Son, I saw a human skeleton leaning against the stone wall not far away, and his clothes had rotted.
Why is there someone here? What are they doing? How did they get in? Shuirou looked around, but there was nothing strange.
Why is this person here? What does he do? Why can't he get out? What is this? Jiang Shuirou saw a sheathed dagger beside this person, which fell on the ground. Oh? -
―There was something pressed under the hand. The box was rotten and revealed a dazzling green light.
"What is it? It's so bright. I have to pick up the dagger first to defend myself."
Shui Rou said to herself. She put the crocodile leather sheathed dagger on her belt and then went to get the shiny object. She put her hand through the hole into the box and groped around.
Damn it, my finger was pricked. Ignoring the bloody finger, I took out a small thing that I touched. It was covered with the blood on Shuirou's hand. Before Shuirou could wipe it off, the
The blood disappeared as if it had seeped into the ring, revealing a crystal green stone ring.
Shui Rou knew that this thing was called a ring. The big landowner in the village had one. Shui Rou thought about going back and giving it to grandpa to make grandpa happy.
Where should I put it? Shuirou is afraid that she will lose it soon. It is still so small, so she should wear it on her finger. She tested it on her fingers and found that it is too thin and can only be worn on her little finger. Can this grandpa wear it?
After putting the ring on, Shuirou bent her little finger, which was quite fun. While she was looking at it, she saw a few flashes of green light, and the ring on her hand disappeared.
Shuirou felt slightly dizzy for the first time, and suddenly became clear again. Huh? Where did the ring on her finger go? Why is it missing? Shuirou's mood immediately became depressed.
"Hey - you really can't get such a valuable thing if it's not yours. It's time to go up. There's nothing to see in this cave."
Shuirou jumped and actually reached a height of more than 10 meters. But when she grabbed the edge of the cave entrance with her hand, the soil was too loose, and she couldn't help but fall down again. She sat down on the ground in the cave.
.
"Mom, it's hard to handle. I didn't think about getting out when I came in. But how did this person get in? Look for it. Is there any other way out? There should be."
Shui Rou walked forward. The cave is very long. Oh - it's a natural cave.
"What is this? How come there is a wall here? Why is this wall made of large stones? How come there is such a wall here? And there is a hole in the wall.
Oh - this is a stone that has been dug out. It turns out that this person escaped from here. Go in and see if there is anything interesting? Otherwise, he would not have escaped from here."
Jiang Shuirou got in. Hahaha - such a big stone room. Shuirou looked at one room after another. There were several rooms. There was a large stone coffin in one room. It turned out that this really belonged to the emperor.
Tomb, don't disturb this. There is also a room where various weapons and armors are kept. They are of no use, they are all rotten. What else is there?
We entered another room. They were all big wooden boxes. They were made of some kind of camphor wood. They smelled quite fragrant. The boxes were all wrapped with iron triangles. I didn’t know what they contained. I looked at the big and small ones and added them together.
There were hundreds of boxes. Shuirou opened it and took a look. Her eyes suddenly blurred? What is this? They are all gold ingots!
Shui Rou opened all the boxes, including silver ingots, jewelry and jades, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and gold. Shui Rou closed the boxes one by one. He couldn't take away so many boxes by himself.
Anyway, I can't take it away. It's useless to look at it. It would be great if I could put it away and take it away. It would allow grandpa to live a good life. While I was thinking silently in my heart, the boxes on the ground suddenly disappeared.
Then go? Leave one for me, okay? Just one, so that I don’t come here in vain and can give some to grandpa.
There was no movement. Looking at the empty house, Shuirou sighed secretly, "Today is really bad. I don't get anything valuable. Fortunately, I still have the ginseng I dug."
Then he entered another room. There were human bones on the floor. It seemed that he had been poisoned to death. Every skeleton was black. It turned out that the person had not taken the poison and had pretended to be dead to escape.
It seems that he used this dagger to dig out the stone and drilled out. After a lot of effort, he fell to the ground exhausted.
Is there any other way? Shuirou turned around but couldn't find a way out, so she went back the same way. She just took an oil lamp inside, because the torch was about to die. We still need to light it up, right?
Shuirou walked back, looking for a fork in the road as she walked. She didn't see a big passage, only a hole the size of a washbasin. Shuirou got close to the hole and felt the sudden sound of wind. It was a ventilated hole. Shuirou was worried and looked again.
Looking at the entrance of the cave, there were no traces of snakes crawling.
Shuirou took out the dagger anyway, but what about my medicine basket? There was freshly dug ginseng in it. What if it got damaged?
It would be nice if I could put it away and take it out. The opening of this hole is so small. When I looked again, the basket was gone. It was over, it was over, there was nothing. What happened today? There seems to be something really weird here.
.No wonder grandpa didn’t let him come here.
This place is too weird. It’s better to go back quickly. It’s better to leave here as soon as possible. With a thought, I got in. The hole is not too long, only two or three meters. Shui Rou passed by. When I stood up, I saw another one.
