Yang Kun cursed: "What are you looking at! This must have been climbed first! Damn it, let me know who did it! I have to bury him alive!"
I didn't say anything because I felt there was something wrong.
When I raised my head and encountered a wooden board, I squatted half-crouched and walked about a hundred meters along this robbery hole. I found that there was a dead end in front of me. There were gravel and soil on the ground. After turning over the soil, I could not determine the hole.
Whether it leads to the underground palace under the tower.
But judging from the current situation, the backfilling of this stolen tunnel was only halfway done before it suddenly stopped. The people before were so panicked that they even confiscated the supporting boards above their heads. It was precisely because of these boards that the stolen tunnel did not collapse.
I thought about it and said to Yang Kun: "Brother Yang, the way forward is blocked. If we want to find something, I'm afraid we have to crawl backwards to see where this mouse hole was dug from."
Yang Kun grimaced, nodded and said: "That's right, you go first, I will follow."
I cursed in my heart: "You old bastard, I'll go ahead, if something happens, I'll die first."
After squatting and crawling forward for more than ten meters, I looked back and found that none of them had moved.
"Let's go, what are you doing?" I shouted.
"Don't panic, let's keep our distance while you move forward and take a look."
"That's right, the boss is right, keep your distance," the water pump shouted.
I cursed quietly and crawled forward.
"what?"
I saw something lying on the ground seven or eight meters away in front of the Robber's Cave.
I speeded up and crawled over, and when I shined a light on it, I couldn't help but be frightened by the scene in front of me. I let out a cry!
"Brother Yang! Come here quickly! Someone is dead!" I turned around and shouted.
There is no one behind me.
The yellow hair on Yang Kun's water pump has disappeared.
It's a dead person, that's not right.
A more accurate description is that of a dead person with some flesh left on his face. He is rotten, but not completely rotten. A faint stench can still be smelled even in the winter.
The lower part of the body was wearing tattered jeans and a black travel shoe on one foot. The other foot was bent outward without shoes.
He didn't wear a jacket on his upper body, only a round-neck black sweater.
From the style of the travel shoes on the dead man's feet and the thickness of his socks, I concluded that the man may have died last winter.
I covered my nose with my clothes, stepped over the corpse and walked to the second half of the robbery cave.
I looked up from here and watched for dozens of seconds, and I understood everything.
"Are you okay, brother? Come up quickly."
Yang Kun pulled me up from the ladder.
"What did you call just now? What was it?"
I ignored him.
After patting the soil, I took a shovel and ran to the back of the house, where the soil was dumped.
Following the spot where I found the rotten down jacket last time, I used a shovel to dig down a few times, and soon found a square wooden board.
Use a shovel to pry open the wooden board, revealing a large hole about 60 centimeters in diameter on the ground.
I waved my hand to drive away the dust and looked down with my flashlight.
The height was about 4 meters, and I happened to see the undecomposed body lying in the robber's cave.
I speculate that the dead person should be the fat man with a round face in the photo. The water pump burned the photo, but even if it was there, it would be of little use and he would not be recognized at all.
"Who is this person? How did he die?"
"Did you get tricked by your accomplices?"
This 100-meter-long tunnel discovered accidentally was definitely not dug by one person, but by a group of people.
What happened at that time? The group of people left in a hurry without even finishing backfilling.
This dead fat man’s body is at the bottom and his clothes are at the top.
Was there an accomplice above who tried to pull him up, but failed and only pulled him up with a down jacket?
Does the underground palace under the Kaiyuan Temple Tower hide any secrets?
Yang Kun coughed and said, "Brother Xiang, you have a lot of ideas. Now that something like this suddenly happened, what do you think we should do next?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, let me think about it."
"Brother Pump, I'm scared. There is a dead person. Is he the fat man in the photo?"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother is here, Tingting is not afraid."
There are still a bunch of snakes in the cave that have not been cleaned up. This must not be done anymore, so we will call it a day.
It was around three o'clock in the middle of the night when I returned to the house on the second floor. I didn't know where the water pump was. I lay on the bed and turned over and over, unable to sleep.
Suddenly I felt like going to the toilet, so I got up, put on my clothes and went downstairs.
Before I reached the bathroom door, I suddenly heard Tingting's soft cry.
"Oops...Brother Pump, I feel numb..."
The water pump said: "It's good to be numb, it's good to be numb."
I didn't dare to disturb others, so I thought I'd just go to the door and solve the problem.
I opened the door and came out, walked to the wall to untie my pants and put some water in. At this time, the cold wind blew, and my mind became clearer.
I couldn't sleep anyway, so I wasn't in a hurry to go upstairs. I sat on the steps, took out a cigarette and lit it, while smoking and thinking.
I wish I were Conan. There is only one truth. The key is that I don’t have the brain.
It was quiet at night, and I could hear any movement clearly. I was smoking and thinking about something, and suddenly I heard a rushing sound coming from somewhere behind me.
I turned around and rubbed my eyes, thinking I was being blinded.
It was pitch black, and I could see an old man with white hair squatting in the garden not far away.
The old man was squatting on the edge of the crabapple lace with his back to me.
I saw him squatting there, holding the water pipe with both hands, motionless.
