Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

On a remote path at the southeast corner of the pond, I saw a tent set up there, and a group of people came and went in a hurry.Security guards were also placed outside the tents to prevent students from approaching.I am very surprised, such a big place, why should tents be set up there instead of near the pond? Liu Ge said that the principal was there just now, but he has left now.The students who came to watch the excitement were also driven away, and only the students who found the body in the morning stayed. This strange incident lasted for three or four days before the police removed the security at the scene, but few people went there again.This incident was widely circulated among the colleges at that time, but no newspapers reported on this incident.And the female corpse was also carried back to the Public Security Bureau for processing, but the result of the processing was nothing.

It's going to be a holiday in December, and when I was immersed in the imagination of going home, the fourth and fifth uncles came.Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle came to Beijing to see the antique exhibition, so they came to see me.My fourth uncle told me about this when I started school.But I often laugh at my fourth uncle. Antiques are very expensive, and we common people cannot afford them.The fourth uncle said that it doesn't matter if you can't play, the important thing is participation, and the level of appreciation is very important. After Uncle Wu came, he said, "Yishui, why is your school so remote? I thought it was on Chang'an Street." I smiled and said to Uncle Wu, "Chang'an Street is not the place to build a school, but It is the administrative center of the government. Famous schools are all in Haidian, and ordinary schools like us can only be in Changping."

The next day, my fifth uncle went to Wangfujing to buy some things, and I took my fourth uncle to the school for a tour.When they reached the rockery behind, the fourth uncle stopped.He ran to the top of the mountain and wondered why there was such a big mound here.I smiled and said to my fourth uncle, "That's called a rockery, and the leftover soil and waste from the school expansion are thrown here." The fourth uncle said: "Brat, do you think I don't know anything? I just think it's a bit strange here. How can you build anything here. It's fine to build a mound of dirt, and that puddle shouldn't be dug."

I know that Uncle Si has studied Feng Shui for a while, but I never thought that Uncle Si would be so obsessed with it.At that time, I didn't know that our family's Feng Shui was erudite and profound, and I only thought that my fourth uncle was making up his own nonsense like a fortune teller on the side of the road.I said, "Fourth Uncle, when did you become so talkative, like a fortune teller on the side of the road." The fourth uncle said: "You are not young anymore. You should learn from our family when you go home. You must not have read the book I gave you last time, otherwise you can't say such ignorant things. Here you will not Come on, be careful not to walk around at night." After the fourth uncle finished speaking, he also gave me a piece of jade around his neck.The fourth uncle said that this is our family's heirloom jade, there are three pieces in total, you take this piece, it may be useful in critical times.

I looked at this piece of jade, it didn't have any luster, it wasn't as dazzling as the jade in the jewelry store, so I didn't want it.But the fourth uncle insisted on stuffing it to me, and asked me to hang it around my neck day and night, so that I could not lose it. The fourth uncle walked to the top of the mountain, looked into the distance, and said, "This place is so fierce!" I said, "Yes, people have died!" The fourth uncle asked when, and I said I didn't know, the body was discovered recently, but no one claimed it.So I told Uncle Fourth that the school had pumped and released water from the pond. Uncle Fourth thought about it and said, "No, it's very likely that they salvaged this corpse in advance and put it back later on purpose."

I was curious, so I asked why, and the fourth uncle said: "These people knew there were corpses under the water, so they fished them out early, and then prepared to bury them. But after entering the water, they must have discovered some other strange things under the water. They put the corpse back on purpose, using the excuse of blocking the rockery, and taking advantage of the blockage, these people entered under the rockery." I suddenly realized that my fourth uncle was so smart and witty.I thought of a question, so I asked my fourth uncle: "But this lake has been drained, and there is nothing under it except silt!"

The fourth uncle said: "The silt is enough, what else can't cover it. The silt can cover the buried objects in the ground, so they dare to pump the water out, so that you can believe that there are no dead bodies in it." I thought it made sense , although it was unbelievable, but still nodded.The fourth uncle continued: "It must be strange that this place is so flat that it suddenly protrudes so high. Looking at this mound, the foundation below is large, more than 500 square meters. It is definitely not a simple small rockery. According to the label in our family book There are indeed several large tombs here in Changping. Let’s do an experiment tonight.”

At night, the fourth uncle climbed in from the school's courtyard wall with a long bamboo pole.I meet fourth uncle under the wall.Seeing my fourth uncle holding a long bamboo pole, I was very surprised. I didn't know what his intention was, and my fourth uncle said that I would know later. In the dead of night, when everyone is asleep, the lights have been turned off by this time.Fourth Uncle put something on the bamboo pole. It was black and made of iron, with both sides rolled up and the top was slightly bent.This thing doesn't need my fourth uncle to say, I can figure it out, it must be Luoyang shovel.I saw the Luoyang shovel before at home. I accidentally saw it when my grandma took it out. I didn’t know what it was for at the time. I just thought the shovel looked strange.It is said that the Luoyang shovel cannot be made by machinery. There are 28 procedures all over the body, so it must be made by hand.

Looking at the soft bamboo pole, I doubt whether it can penetrate into the deepest part of the ground.But seeing the skillful technique of the fourth uncle, the bamboo pole went down little by little.Standing on the top of the rockery, the breeze was blowing, and after a while, the fourth uncle knocked down the bamboo pole by seven or eight meters.Seeing how my uncle was sweating profusely, I never imagined that my uncle was so strong. Not long after, the bamboo pole had gone down about ten meters, and more and more soil was shoveled out.The fourth uncle said: "Okay, here we are." Then he called me and pulled up the bamboo pole with him.

The fourth uncle removed the Luoyang shovel, smelled the soil on the Luoyang shovel, and then took a photo with the flashlight, and said: "Although this soil has not been touched for a long time, it is still different from other soil. It must be in stock." He put away the Luoyang shovel and said to me: "Yishui, after that body appeared, did the police come and set up a cordon to prevent you from approaching the cordon?" I said yes." The fourth uncle then asked: "Then is there a new building nearby?" At this time, I remembered that when the cordon was established, a tent was once set up to park the corpse, saying it was to protect the corpse.But shouldn't the corpse be brought back to the Public Security Bureau under normal circumstances?The tent was not withdrawn until three days later.I told my fourth uncle that a large tent had been set up on the sidewalk 40 meters south of the rockery.

So I took my fourth uncle to the place where the tent was built. There was nothing but a normal concrete sidewalk. The only difference was that there was an underground manhole cover.Looking at the mundane scene here, I really can't see anything special about this place. At this time, the fourth uncle looked at the manhole cover and slowly pulled it away with his hands. It was pitch black underneath.To be honest, I don't like the sewer at all, where almost all the garbage collects. Fourth Uncle took a picture of it with a flashlight, and I was surprised to find that the inside was not what I imagined. It was very clean, as if it hadn't been used for a long time.The fourth uncle said that someone cleaned it up a few days ago. Fourth Uncle put the long bamboo pole in a hidden place on one side of the wall and came to the sewer.He took off his baggy coat and told me to wait for him on it, then he went down with the lamp. Thinking of fourth uncle going into the sewer by himself, I was a little worried.So I threw the clothes in the corner and followed me down.When I saw the light of the sewer, I bent over and walked over, and saw Fourth Uncle squatting down in front of him.The fourth uncle was surprised when he saw me coming, and asked me why I came down too.I said I was afraid that something would happen to you down there alone. Fourth Uncle asked me to look under the lamp, and there was a female corpse lying there.I've definitely seen this female corpse somewhere, but it's definitely not the one that floated in the pond later.Where is it?Suddenly I remembered, that photo, yes, is the female corpse that appeared in the photo with Liu Ge. I said to my fourth uncle: "Although I have never seen this female corpse, I have seen her reflection in the water on the rockery." The fourth uncle was very surprised, and did not expect such a thing to happen.I continued, "But this body is definitely not the one that was found in the water later." This time, even the fourth uncle, who has always been imaginative, couldn't figure out what was going on for a while. We didn't touch the body of the female corpse, and when we walked forward, we suddenly found a hole less than one meter in diameter in the wall of the sewer.The entrance of this cave is not neat, bricks are scattered on the ground, and if you look into the cave, you can see an artificial cave with neat cuts inside. Only then did I understand that a few days ago, under the guise of solving a case, those people dug a hole from this sewer.If it was true what the fourth uncle said, these people had already salvaged the body, then when they were salvaged for the first time, they must have found something unusual at the bottom of the lake.But the tomb cannot be entered from the bottom of the lake, because there is water, so the school pumped the water, and when it is determined that it is still impossible to enter the bottom, the water is put back.Later, the tomb robbers used another corpse to hide their eyes and ears, set up a tent at the manhole cover of the sewer as a warning belt, and then took the opportunity to enter the sewer and dig the hole.If this is the case, there are quite a few people in this school who know about the tomb. Fourth Uncle wanted to go into this robbery hole again, but I stopped him.I said, "It's too dangerous for us to go in with bare hands like this. When Uncle Wu comes tomorrow, let's go in together. There are more people to take care of us." The fourth uncle thought about it, and agreed. After returning home at night, I had a good night's sleep.The next day, Liu Ge came to see me again.To be honest, I really regret participating in that card game. I was unhappy for half a year because of the momentary happiness.This Liu Ge seems to be entangled with me, and is intentionally waiting for me to confess my love again. Looking at Liu Ge's innocent eyes, I really couldn't bear to tell her that it was just a game. Liu Ge said, "Why are you going at night?" I said, "Read a book." "Where to see?" "Study room." "Myself?" "Ok." "You went to the self-study room for self-study, so where should I go for self-study?" Uh, how do you ask me to answer this question.Finally, I reluctantly said, "Then come with me." "Oh, that's the only way to go." She said helplessly. I was annoyed for a moment, this is obviously seducing me! Because I have to go to the sewer with my fourth and fifth uncles to find out what happened at night, so I need to supplement my sleep.At night, Liu Ge knocked on my window, and I said, I was getting up.Unexpectedly, Liu Ge scolded me, saying why I was so unmotivated, and the tone seemed to regard me as one of my own.I was in a fog for a while, and I didn't know what to say.Later, she was forced to get up and dragged into the study room alive by her. When we arrived at the study room, Liu Ge said, "I often sit in this seat. I sit here every day." I was even more depressed, you don't come here every day and ask me where are you going? Looking at the watch, it was already nine o'clock, and the fourth uncle was coming.I told Liu Ge, "I have something to do tonight, so I have to go back early." Who knew that Liu Ge was very angry, saying that I was not doing my job properly, and wanted to go back to play cards, and wanted to confess my love to someone again.I looked helpless and was about to defend myself when Liu Ge bit my hand, which made me feel unbearable pain.I looked at my arm and it was bleeding. I frowned, looked at my poor arm, and looked at the proud Liu Ge, but my heart was speechless and desolate.Liu Ge said: "You are not allowed to play cards in the future. From now on, your personal ownership belongs to me. If you have any opinions, you will be dealt with according to family law." What family law did I say, she blinked, pointed at my bitten arm, and said, "Kiss me!" My God, who's kiss is this, it's bleeding.I ran out quickly, Liu Ge saw me rushing out the door, and immediately chased me madly, the corridor outside the self-study was noisy, just like a scene of a prosperous vegetable market. When leaving, Liu Ge said: "Our supernatural team will go to the mountain to find out the secrets recently, you have to keep it a secret for us." I thought to myself, it's broken, my fourth uncle and I will go tonight, how good it is for you to go again."Is it tonight?" I asked. Liu Ge said: "It's not decided yet, maybe tonight, maybe three days later." I said to Liu Ge: "It's not safe these days, don't go, besides, it's already very late today." Liu Ge rolled his eyes and said, "Okay." After the lights were turned off, I still sneaked out of the dormitory. Uncle Fourth and Uncle Fifth had been waiting for me in the rockery for a long time.The two were wearing military combat training uniforms, and their bags were bulging.Fourth Uncle took out a dagger from his body and handed it to me, and told me to carry it with me, so as not to lose it.I took the knife, and saw that the blade was sharp, the blade was long and narrow, the blade was faintly cold, and a chill was transmitted from the blade to the body.I said, "Fourth Uncle, I have a knife, what do you use?" At this time, Uncle Fourth took out a fake June 4 pistol from his body.I was surprised that my fourth uncle would also have a gun on his body. I really couldn't imagine when my fourth uncle would be so powerful.Then Uncle Wu also took out a fake June 4 pistol from his body.I asked my fourth uncle, "Where did this come from?" The fourth uncle said, "Leave this alone and talk about it later." I asked again, "How many rounds of ammunition did you bring?" The fourth uncle said: "The two of us have a total of sixteen rounds. In addition to the eight rounds on the gun, we each put a bullet clip in our pocket. This is called being prepared." Then my fourth uncle gave me a searchlight. He said that this kind of light can shine directly for 300 meters, and the place illuminated is like daytime. I asked my fourth uncle, "Why don't we bring some glutinous rice, black donkey hooves and so on?" The fourth uncle said: "Those things are things that don't know whether they will work or not. I think real guns and knives are real. Anyway, the things I encounter are knocked down by guns." I don't think so, although the fourth uncle has entered the ancient tomb, how could he not prepare those things.Things in the tomb are played in the same way as in the tomb, after all, they are different from the ground.Uncle Wu seemed to have read my mind, and said to me with a smile, "Yishui, don't listen to your fourth uncle's nonsense." Taomu sword, and then took out a dagger with a silver blade from his boots. Then, the fourth uncle also turned over the big pocket on his trouser leg, and saw that it was full of self-made detonators. This kind of detonator was similar to ordinary firecrackers, but it was very big. With the gunpowder made by himself, A detonator is enough to blow up a small two-story house. We went down from the manhole cover, walked north along the sewer, passed the female corpse, and came to the robbery cave.When it comes to entering the ancient tomb, there are rules.Before going to college, although my grandparents seldom told me about tomb robbing, my fourth uncle was always nagging, so I also knew a lot of rules about tomb robbing.When a family goes to rob a tomb together, the younger generation must go in first and the older generation come out first, otherwise there will be no return, or even if they come out, they will suffer sudden illness.So when entering the robbery cave, I, my fifth uncle, and my fourth uncle must go in order. The fourth uncle said that tomb robbers, from the moment they enter the robbery cave, draw a boundary with the world on the ground.You can no longer think that you are still living in your original world, and if you do, then you will pay the price for it. I always keep these things in mind, because it's hard to say that I will encounter them once in my life.Ever since my fourth uncle caught frogs and met a female water ghost when I was a child, I have paid special attention to how to protect myself.Grandma said that a person will see unusual things three times in his life, which can never be explained by common sense.When I was young, I had already seen it once, and some time ago, I also saw it once. It seems that I am destined to see more than others in my life. After entering the robbery cave, I was in the front, my fifth uncle was in the middle, and my fourth uncle was at the end.We kept climbing forward for more than ten minutes. At the end, I turned around and told Uncle Wu, "We have reached the tomb passage. Do you think the oxygen in it can work?" Uncle Wu said: "This robbery hole has been dug for so long, and the wind has already been ventilated. It doesn't matter." I said, "Okay, then I'll go in." Uncle Wu nodded and said, "Well, go in and be careful." I took a photo of the searchlight in the direction of the tomb passage, and found that the robbery hole is located in the middle of the tomb wall of the tomb passage. After going down like this, it is very convenient and does not require too much effort.After entering the tomb passage, I relaxed and thought I could finally stand up straight.Then Fifth Uncle and Fourth Uncle also entered the tomb passage. I shone the searchlight on both sides, and I saw that one end was quite far away and the other end was very close.There are stairs going up at the nearest end, which shows that it is the entrance to the tomb.Few people enter the entrance of the tomb passage, why do you say that?Because the entrance is mostly built with very strong bricks layer by layer, and then the surface is rammed with soil, usually the surface of the entrance of the tomb passage will not grow crops for decades.Many people judge the length of the entrance and the tomb passage based on the place where no grass grows in front of the tomb. The three of us walked into the tomb, the fourth uncle walked in front, and I was at the end.We turned off the searchlights and there was only one left.This tomb passage is relatively wide, more than three meters wide and two meters high.They are all made of huge fired bricks. The brick walls are khaki, the ground of the tomb passage is flat, and the top of the tomb passage is in the shape of an arch bridge. At this time, the fourth uncle saw something lying on the side of the tomb passage wall in front of him.The fourth uncle reminded everyone to be careful, he took out the pistol, opened the safety, and slowly approached the thing. When the fourth uncle approached, there was a rumbling sound from the tomb passage.Uncle Wu yelled, "Fourth Brother, be careful!" The fourth uncle is also a person who has experienced big storms. I saw that the fourth uncle rolled forward and rolled to the front of the tomb, but there was another rumbling sound from the front of the tomb passage.I could see clearly that there was an iron pillar about three meters long and thirty centimeters in diameter with countless thorns hanging on the upper right side of the tomb passage. This iron pillar weighed at least a thousand kilograms. After making a circle, it floated to the upper left of the tomb passage.When the fourth uncle rolled to the front, another iron pillar appeared on the upper left side of the tomb passage.Seeing that the fourth uncle was in an emergency, he immediately turned around and rolled to the corner of the tomb passage. After the iron pillar jumped into the air, he reached the other side of the top of the tomb passage. My fifth uncle and I were dumbfounded, and we were relieved when we saw that our fourth uncle was safe and sound.Uncle Wu shouted, "Fourth brother, are you alright?" The fourth uncle said: "It's okay, it's a good thing there is this dead body here to remind me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to react." Uncle Wu and I stood in the distance and were taken aback. Unexpectedly, the black mass in front turned out to be a dead body.The fourth uncle was still lying in the distance, and said: "That one was stabbed to death by the iron pillars above the tomb passage. He was hit by the iron pillars on the wall and fell down, becoming what he is now." Uncle Wu and I gasped.Fifth Uncle shone a light on the tomb passage in front of him, and suddenly found that there were at least two iron pillars on the tomb passage in front of Fourth Uncle.A long groove has been dug where these iron pillars are located, so if you don't pay attention, you can't see them at all. Seeing such a scene, my fifth uncle and I didn't know what to do for a while, because my fourth uncle would not be able to come back.When Uncle Fifth and I were hesitating, we saw Uncle Fourth crawling forward. When he crawled, the barbed iron pillars on top kept falling down, almost hitting Uncle Fourth every time. Only then did Uncle Wu and I understand that to pass through this section of the tomb passage, we had to crawl over the edge of the passage. It seemed that Uncle Wu had already had experience.But when it comes to experience, this is also the experience that Dahei bought with his life.In the Guishan Han Tomb, Dahei was shot with two arrows, and the fourth uncle will never forget it. Originally, what the fourth uncle thought was that someone had already entered the tomb here, and there would definitely be no more traps.But what the fourth uncle didn't expect was that the tomb passage mechanism here could be able to function again. The carelessness this time almost cost my fourth uncle his life.Uncle Wu and I reached the other side where there were no dead bodies, and crawled over one after the other.After connecting four iron pillars, we found that there were no more iron pillars, so we dared to stand up straight. There are still more than ten meters away, and through the searchlights, you can clearly see the gate of the tomb.The gate is wider than where we are standing, and there is a big iron ring on the gate, and nothing else can be seen except this. The three people who reunited began to be careful. After all, there are many traps here. If they are not careful, their lives may be ruined.Fourth and Fifth Uncles both took out their pistols, and I also took out the dagger.The three of us walked in the middle, lined up in a straight line, and walked slowly towards the door of the tomb.After walking about five meters in this way, the fourth uncle asked us to stop. He took off his coat and threw it along the floor of the cemetery. Looking at the peaceful tomb, all three of us let out a sigh of relief.Just as we were about to move on, the stone bricks on the ground of the tomb passage were pulled away to both sides, revealing a big hole. The about three-meter-long tomb passage could not stand at all, and Fourth Uncle's clothes fell into the trap hole.
