Uncle Liao put his hands on cloth and handed me the lunch box.
In this weather, drinking boiled hot water only makes your body feel warm and sunny.
After blowing some air, I put down my rice bowl and chatted with Uncle Liao.
The topic we discussed was whether the red eyes were affected by the "monkey boulders" in Jin Youzi's tomb and became what they are now.
Because Dou Sprout and I had similar experiences, but we were woken up early. Dou Sprout's symptoms were the most severe, and I was almost strangled to death.
Liao Bo pondered and said: "If the Chaoshan people (with red eyes) are indeed surnamed Huang as you think, 90% of them are related to someone who returned to Guan. Now we have lost the location of Wang Xiansheng. This person may be crucial."
I nodded and said yes, and mentioned one unusual point of doubt.
Look at it this way.
The secret passage in Jin Youzi's tomb is hidden behind the epitaph of Jin A'long. The small door is made of blue bricks and has never been opened before we accidentally discovered it.
In the Popo Ke cult (I call it that because the tattooed monks look weird), the monkey is holding a stone in the tomb. If the red eyes become like this because of that thing, then how did he get in?
With this doubt in mind, I called Brother Dou Sprout and Fish to go there to investigate again in the morning. After searching for nearly two hours, I finally made a big discovery.
To the northwest of the Jin'along Brick Chamber Tomb, there is a place where the soil is different, and the soil is covered with sand. But this time I was looking for it, so I found it. People can clearly feel the soft soil when they step on it.
.
I dug casually, and a horizontal wooden board was exposed under the soil. When I removed the wooden board, I saw a large hole with a slope, which was a robbery hole.
Dou Sprout stretched out his foot to explore and quickly took it back.
"Liangshushu, what's going on with this hole?"
I said what else could happen, we were lucky enough to find a tunnel leading directly into the tomb. Another group of people who came here didn't find the tunnel, so they just used the most labor-intensive method.
"Dig a cross well."
"I just said it was strange. Where did the short-handled Luoyang shovel we picked up before come from? Now it is clear that it was left behind by the group of people who dug the horizontal well before. Cheng Hongyan also participated in it."
"Then it seems like this is it."
Brother Yu clapped his hands and said, go down and see if the end leads to that tomb.
Even though it was daytime in Tengger, the light in the Hengshao was very dark. After going down, we had to use flashlights to illuminate it. This group of people seemed to be in a hurry. We walked for a while and did not see the slats used to reinforce the Hengshao.
The cat walked with his waist bent for a few minutes, and Brother Yu suddenly stopped and sniffed.
"Do you smell it?"
The bean sprouts smelled it and said no, did I catch a cold?
I smelled it, and it seemed like I smelled a dead rat smell. It was a bit smelly, just like a rotten smell.
The slope down the horizontal shaft is getting bigger and bigger. After reaching a certain distance, there is a flat road, and then there is an uphill road. I know that if the group of people dug in the right direction before, they should be at Tiezhending now.
Under the bottom of the tomb, dig up the slope and you can enter the tomb.
at this time.
"etc!"
"Look!" Dou Sprout waved his flashlight, his pupils dilated instantly.
Scanning the area with my flashlight, I saw a few people lying vaguely about seven meters in front of us, all motionless. The smell of dead mice that I smelled just now was even more obvious here.
Be brave enough to step forward and take a look.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I almost vomited out my morning meal.
There were four corpses in total, three women and one man. Some were facing up and some were facing down. The men were all in their forties or fifties. The women looked younger, in their early thirties. They were not very tall and had a slim body.
She was already stiff, especially this short woman. Her neck was twisted at 60 degrees, her eyes were open, and there were dried blood around her nose and mouth.
Dou Sprout stammered: "Hurry...turn your face away quickly, she's fucking staring at me."
One of the three male corpses was the oldest, with a mustache, pierced ears and earrings. We found half a pack of cigarettes, two hawthorn candies, and a wrapped...
plastic bag.
Half a pack of cigarettes was a hard-packed Double Happiness. There were several ID cards and a palm-sized notebook in the plastic bag.
Brother Yu helped me shine a light, and I looked at them one by one.
It says on the ID card.
"Huang Hao, Huang Zhiqiang, Huang Xiaonan, Luo Xiaobo."
Three people are named Huang and one is named Luo.
The three people named Huang all came from the same place, Qianlong No. 2 Village, Shaxi Town, Shangrao City. The oldest man with earrings was Huang Zhiqiang, who lived at No. 135 Qianlong Village. The deceased one, Luo Xiaobo, was from Chaozhou City.
Fengxi Town, Chaoan District.
There are not many people in the Chaoshan area who are famous for tomb robbing. I had doubts about it before, but I didn't expect that it was really Huang.
There is indeed this habit in the southern faction. Zhiguo (equivalent to the northern faction's boss) will collect the ID cards of his subordinates before taking action. This may be because they are afraid of running away or for other reasons.
Brother Yu came closer to help me with lighting, and I looked at the small notebook again.
Huang Zhiqiang is the supporter of the southern group. He has the habit of taking notes. He records every time he goes to the tomb in his notebook to see who does more work and who does less work, so that he can sell things easily.
After that, the distribution is based on work. This is the same in the north and the south. In the north, the leader gets more, and then in order, they are selling rice (sales), earthwork, logistics, and loose soil. But the leader does not take notes, and who should get how much afterward.
He knows the money well. I used to be the most rubbish person, but now, for the first time, I got 120,000.
That was our situation back then, but that's not the case now.
Nowadays, tomb robbers use Alipay transfers, and large-scale gangs all have fixed wages plus performance commissions. Even if you don't go to the tomb for a few months, you will still be paid a fixed wage to support you. For example, those who do loose soil work are now being bought out.
, for example, if the new Santu owes gambling debts or online loans, the team leader will help him deal with it at once, and then you will be sold to others for the rest of your life. Compared to our time, it is more formalized now
, and more cold-blooded.
Huang Zhiqiang recorded a lot of things in his small notebook, including the following items.
"On July 14, 2001, a small merchant ship from the Ming Dynasty was found in Lobster Bendzi (probably somewhere in the South China Sea). It was floated on July 16 and launched into the water on July 20. The water came out with 74 plates, 16 bottles and a box of silver ingots.
, sold to Lao Wei (probably an antique dealer in Chaoshan) for a total of 142,600, distributed according to work."
"On the third day of January 2002, just after the Chinese New Year, a sunken ship from the Song Dynasty was found on Shajiao Island. There was only water for tea leaves on the ship. After excluding the loss of the gas cylinder, the loss was 4,000 yuan. It was a bad year."
Similar fragments like this were recorded dozens of times. I turned the pages one by one and looked at them. Soon, a note caught my attention.
"On September 22, I received an invitation from Aunt Luo to go to the desert. Zhuangzi didn't respond, but it was a good opportunity to become famous. In the end, Dabao persuaded me that it was feasible and I should go."
The name "Dabao" caught my attention, as I seemed to have heard of it before.
I didn't think about it at first, but then I suddenly remembered it.
When I was in Shunde, I ate fish every day. Once, Sister Hong and I went to the market to buy fish. We saw a big flat fish with a long tail. It was very ugly. I had never seen it before. I asked Sister Hong what kind of fish it was.
Who would eat it if it looks so ugly?
Sister Hong told me: "This is a ray. It is a very good fish. It can be found in shallow seas and deep seas. If you want to catch this kind of fish in the shallow sea, you must have the water quality of a water monkey to catch it. We also have this kind of water quality in the industry."
A master of martial arts, I know that in the past two years there was a man named Huang Tianbao, nicknamed Mighty Monkey."
The dead support pot found in Hengjing was called Dabao.
Suddenly recalling this incident, I felt that I had basically determined the identity of Red Eyes.
