Take the Fox Fairy To Catch the Ghost

Chapter Thirty: Digging for Thieves

Hu Qingguo and the others had already waited impatiently. Hearing what I said, they immediately let Fu Hongshan and Chen Qing hold the Luoyang shovel and start digging towards the place I pointed. As the saying goes, interlacing is like a mountain, and there is a specialization in the art industry. Regardless of the fact that this tomb robbery is a hidden business, but as professional tomb robbers like Hu Qingguo and others, the doorways are far from being able to fully learn to know about me and Jiang Yilong and other laymen.

Take the thief hole as an example. Depending on the physical strength of me and Jiang Yilong, we may not be tired from picking up a hundred or so steps on the ladder, but let’s take the Luoyang shovel and go down to beat the thief. Hole, it is very likely that you will not be able to hold on for half an hour. But Chen Qing and the two of them are different. First, two people started digging together. After digging out the size range of the pirate hole and having a certain depth, the working mode of the two people changed again, becoming one person digging, and one person was responsible for dumping the dirt on it. After the two of them worked in such a meticulous division of labor, in only about half an hour, the hacking hole had been dug out of the initial outline, and the room for the hacking hole was not small, and two adults could stand at the same time.

"Digging for you, I'll do it."

"Okay, you come up."

While Fu Hongshan and the others were hacking the thief hole, Jiang Yilong and I were temporarily unable to help, and we sat next to them and chatted with Bai Ling. But Hu Qingguo, Fang Wenhu and the others. First took out an iron pulley from the equipment bag they carried, and then took a machete to cut a tree nearby. Seeing that they were carrying it a little hard, Jiang Yilong and I took the initiative to run. Go up and help. After inquiring, I learned Hu Qingguo's intentions.

On the face of it, Fu Hongshan and the others were able to dig the hole very fast. Under such circumstances, it will definitely take a long time before they can completely complete the hole. However, in fact, the deeper the pirate hole is drilled downwards, the speed of digging will remain the same, but it will become more and more difficult and harder to pour out the mud and stones dug out of the pirate hole.

At first, Jiang Yilong and I felt that after we finished the ritual, we were so idle, feeling a little sad. It was because we discovered that this problem existed, and we discussed and prepared to help out for a while. We don't have the skills and speed to fight the thief, but it's still okay to stand on top and use brute force to help pour out the dirt.

This idea is good, but in the eyes of Hu Qingguo, it is only a stupid method used by junior tomb robbers or wild robbers, and as professional tomb thieves, how could they use such a stupid method?

A tree, a strong hemp rope, and an iron pulley combine these seemingly completely irrelevant things into a pulley frame that saves time and effort. You only need to stand on it. By turning the bearing rollers made of tree trunks by hand, the soil in the robbery hole can be lifted up. It seems that Jiang Yilong and I are still out of touch with this kind of chance.

As for Liu Dafu who came with him, he is also very busy now. He was picking up some gravel and preparing to build an earthen stove. The earthen stove was built, and a small iron pot was put on it. After all this, he immediately went to pick up dry firewood nearby, and then took it again. He ran to a stream three miles away with a wooden barrel and carried clear water...

The approximate location of the ancient tomb has been completely controlled by us, but there is no shadow of the ancient tomb on the ground at all, which means that the owner of the tomb does not want anyone other than him to know the location of the ancient tomb. With this intention, it is not difficult to guess how deep and secret the ancient tomb is hidden. Therefore, it is impossible for us to decide how long this thief will take to reach the tomb. The specific time cannot be determined.

Maybe one day, maybe two days, or even longer...

In addition, there is a distance between Jiandao Mountain and Taoyuan Village, and most of the people in the village are elderly and infirm. It is impossible to make a special trip over Jiandao Mountain to come here. Therefore, combined with multiple reasons, Liu Dafu immediately proposed to Hu Qingguo to bring these things on a special trip. Although conditions do not allow him to enjoy Liu Dafu's cooking skills, during the period of our tomb robbery, it was possible to eat a bite of hot noodles and drink a bit of hot water.

After Liu Dafu was busy, he thought so thoughtfully. All of this was seen by us, and of course, it was also seen by Hu Qingguo. And the reason why Liu Dafu is able to work so hard and flattery, in my opinion, he is not for money at all, but for freedom.

At that time, Liu Dafu was drunk and made trouble and killed someone. Even if Liu Dafu racked his brains, he would do more to help hide and return to Taoyuan Village. On the surface, he did manage to escape the punishment of the law, but it was not the case. If I guess right, after living in the outside world for so many years, he has long been accustomed to the outside way of life, but now Taoyuan Village is actually a prison for him. Before this matter was handled properly, he could only stay here to live honestly, even until he died.

In this case, it is like a bird in a cage, only waiting to die, there is no freedom at all. And now, before him, there is a chance to escape the jail. Even if I am Liu Dafu, I will work hard to please Hu Qingguo in every possible way.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel surprised.

In my opinion, Hu Qingguo is a boss who is in the antique business on the surface, but behind him is the real tomb thief leader. He was able to promise Liu Dafu to do this for him in front of all of us. This is not something that can be done with the ability of a tomb thief leader.

Could it be a big talk? Is it just a perfunctory Liu Dafu? Even if my understanding of Hu Qingguo is limited to contact during this period of time, Fang Wenhu has been following him for a long time. Whether he has such ability, Fang Wenhu knows very well...

This person is not the one I can offend. Fortunately, Jiang Yilong came up with a good method last time.

Bai Ling didn't know where to pick a flower, and ran towards me. Seeing me in a daze, he took the flower to me and shook it. He laughed and said, "Brother Zhiyuan, what are you thinking about? "

I said, "I didn't think about anything."

"Hey, look at the flower I just picked. You smell it, but the fragrance is not fragrance." After saying that, he handed the small flower to my nose.

I sniffed it. The flower has a delicate fragrance and the smell is very weak. I joked at Bai Ling, "Why can't I smell it."

Bai Ling blinked and said, "How come you can't smell it, is there something wrong with your nose?"

I said: "What I smell is the scent of your body. The scent of your body is more scented than this flower. You said, I can still smell the scent of this flower. Hey."

"Oh, you hate it." Bai Ling's face blushed suddenly, and he looked very cute.

"By the way, Ling'er, after such a long period of time, have you thought of anything? For example, home, or your parents..." In fact, when I said this, I was drumming in my heart. However, I understand that even if I am now familiar with Bai Ling and never hate her ascending to a deeper level in my heart, even so, I can't just take care of myself selfishly.

Bai Ling pouted, turned the wildflowers in his hands, and said, "Brother Zhiyuan, don't ask me this question anymore. Because, I didn't have any amnesia and lost it. Now I don't tell you for another reason. Of course. I believe that one day, you will still know everything. But, I hope that by that time, you will not hate me, dislike me, or even drive me away."

Let me just say, Bai Ling speaks methodically and logically, how could it seem that he has suffered from amnesia. From another perspective, Bai Ling has a family and parents, so why doesn't she go back, because she still pesters me and Jiang Yilong. According to her words, there is a very special reason, and she added this sentence at the end. It can be seen that this reason may make me a little unacceptable...

I don't think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more confused it becomes. Since Bai Ling didn't want to tell me, why should I continue to ask for an answer that I might not even want to know. Besides, it's good now, to be accompanied by such a beauty who has come out of the painting. If allowed, I really hope it can be forever.

Within a long time, Hu Qingguo and Fang Wenhu had already finished the time-saving and labor-saving pulley frame, and lifted the pulley frame above the entrance of the robbery hole, and Fu Hongshan's work efficiency accelerated again. However, the concept of pirate holes and deep wells is the same. The further down, regardless of the hardness of the soil or the rock layer, the progress of the excavation will be greatly reduced. Taking into account this level of reason, Fang Wenhu jumped into the robbery hole again, and the three of them took turns to exchange excavation or dump the dirt.

At first, Bai Ling kept chatting with me, and then Jiang Yilong came over again and said a lot of miscellaneous things. But when he saw the new thing, the pulley rack, Bai Ling's interest was aroused again. After saying that I would also help, he ran to run Fu Hongshan who was spinning the pulley rack on it.

With a little effort, the full mud was lifted up from the robbery hole, and without any effort, the empty basket filled with mud was put under the robbery hole again. This one up and down, in Bai Ling's eyes, is completely like a game, claiming to be fun and fun.

Hu Qingguo looked at Bai Ling and said jokingly: "Ha, Sister Bai Ling, work hard. After everything is done, I will also send you a copy."

Bai Ling said, "Really."

"Of course." After receiving Hu Qingguo's affirmative answer, Bai Ling triumphantly looked at me and Jiang Yilong. The information revealed from her eyes is nothing more than I can make money. I will never eat free food again. But then Hu Qingguo said: "However, don't just be interested in it for a while. If you want to do it, you must do it to the end. Otherwise, if the time of hacking is delayed, then I can get the rebate. Delay one minute, the deduction will be made. One piece, one hour later, one hundred deduction, one day later, hehe, just deduct yourself to me."

"Ah." Bai Ling didn't do it now, put down the fun pulley rack and ran away.
