Chapter 31

On the first day, Fu Hongshan and the three of them took turns to steal the cave and dug it out to a depth of nearly five meters. Although the depth of nearly five meters is a layer of soil, the speed and efficiency are quite good in the business of stealing tombs. It can be seen that Hu Qingguo's ability to recruit such men is also the capital he can do tomb theft until now.

From the five meter deep soil, Hu Qingguo and his colleagues can smell the increasing flavor of the ancient tomb with their own experience. In other words, Jiang Yilong and I have no deviation in the scope of narrowing. Even if Hu Qingguo didn't say it, I can still see the recognition of Jiang Yilong and me from the look on his face.

When night fell, Chen Qing and the three of them had stopped digging, and we set up the three tents we had brought in advance. Liu Dafu cooked a pot of noodles and shouted to us, "everyone is tired. Come to dinner."

"Hey, it's noodles again. I've eaten it twice a day today." after a day's hard work, it naturally consumes a lot of physical energy. It's reasonable for Fu Hongshan to complain.

Hu Qingguo said with a smile, "it's all right. After finding the ancient tomb and taking things back, I'll treat you to a big meal for a week. No matter flying in the sky, running on the ground or swimming in the water, as long as you can buy something with money, you can eat whatever you want."

"Mr. Hu is considerate of us." Chen Qing flattered, looked at Fu Hongshan and said, "don't talk nonsense. Mr. Hu doesn't open a small stove, and it's not the same as what we eat."

Fu Hongshan glared at Chen Qing, shut up and ate noodles.

Liu Dafu said, "it's all right. I'll go back to the village early tomorrow morning and bring some meat to cook for everyone."

"Uncle Liu, don't lie to me," Fu Hongshan said again.

Liu Dafu affirmed, "how can I lie to you? Just rest assured."

Hu Qingguo's face was slightly different. He looked at everyone and finally fell on Liu Dafu. "Uncle Liu, you still have to keep an eye on things and take the overall situation into account. If you only want to eat and drink for a while, it's bad for a big event."

Liu Dafu immediately heard this and said with a smile, "don't worry, little Hu, you don't know the people in this village. Don't you know me? Besides, I'll be careful. Even if someone bumps into me, I can't be stupid enough to say what we're doing here."

"Well, that's good."

After dinner, Fu Hongshan and they did not continue to dig the hole. The reason is simple. The conditions here are special. Even if we stay here and dig for ten days and a half months, no one may find it. Second, the three of them have worked hard all day. In addition, the sky is too dark, which is not conducive to excavation. Even if we want to win time, there is no need to deliberately squeeze them during this time. Besides, it's too inhumane to do so.

However, we have limited resources, only three tents, and now we have eight people. Finally, we discussed that little Hu Ye naturally needed one, and Jiang Yilong, Bai Ling and Liu Dafu, I could only be regarded as idle people. Since they are idle people, of course, it's not good to rob them, so we left the two tents to Fu Hongshan and them. After all, now they are the main force in our team. They can't rest well and delay the time, which is bad for everyone.

The four of us put the sheets we had brought in advance on the grass and passed the time around the fire. Liu Dafu can talk and play better than us. Since he was a child, most of them are entertainment events such as playing whole people when he was a child. It makes us happy for a long time. In addition, what he mentioned most was the regret of killing

We comforted for a while. Finally, we all fell asleep.

The next day, early in the morning, we ate the dry food we brought, Fu Hongshan, they moved their muscles and bones, and then continued to do the boring work. Liu Dafu, like he promised Fu Hongshan last night, was ready to go back to the village. When he was leaving, Hu Qingguo asked him again, and he said, "don't worry.".

Fu Hongshan and his men went down to steal the cave and dug it for only an hour. They didn't know if it was the reason why we did it against the harmony of heaven. Even God couldn't see it. Without any warning, they suddenly thundered twice, and then it began to rain. We had to stop work and huddle in the tent. The thunderstorm didn't stop until about noon.

Seeing that Liu Dafu had not returned from the village, we had to prepare to continue eating dry food such as cold bread to fill the five zang organs temple, but at this time, Liu Dafu was wet and limped in front of us with a basket containing several killed chickens and some vegetables and pickled meat in the jar.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I fell down just now, so I walked slowly." although Liu Dafu smiled, his facial muscles twitched slightly as he walked.

"Little uncle, are you all right?" Fang Wenhu quickly took the basket and said.

"I'm fine. I'll cook delicious food for you right now." seeing Hu Qingguo walking in front of him, he quickly said, "don't worry, little Hu, no one sees me."

Hu Qingguo handed a cigarette to Liu Dafu, patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "uncle Liu, don't worry. If you finish the business here, you'll go back with us. As for the future, you don't have to ask for a living. Just follow me. I happen to lack a cook who can cook good dishes here."

Liu Dafu looked very excited. For a moment, he couldn't speak.

"Little uncle, what are you doing? Thank you, Mr. Hu."

"Ah, thank you, Mr. Hu." after a pause, Liu Dafu said, "but what I've done is not simple. Will it cause any trouble to Mr. Hu?"

Hu Qingguo waved his hand and said, "it's no big deal. It's just killing someone. To tell you the truth, I have a few lives in my hand. Isn't it good so far? Ha ha."

According to the contact with Liu Dafu in the past two days, he did kill people. However, although Liu Dafu's character was a little naughty since childhood, his essence was not bad. Moreover, for people with his character, to tell the truth, I still like to contact him very much. "Uncle Liu, why don't I take a look for you? I still know how to have a little disease and pain."

"Nothing, nothing. I can't bear the pain. How can I do great things with little Hu in the future? Ha ha."

After receiving Hu Qingguo's affirmative reply, Liu Dafu now has the happiest smile in front of us. Of course, even so, I can't watch him limp in front of us. So while he cooked delicious food for us, he quickly went to the nearby hillside with Jiang Yilong and Bai Ling to collect some herbs. Finally, he ground the herbs and applied them to his sprained ankle.

We were all very happy with this meal, but due to today's temporary weather change, the speed of digging a stolen hole will certainly be delayed. However, for this, Hu Qingguo was also very humane and did not deliberately urge Fu Hongshan and them.

Nearly five meters were dug on the first day, less than two meters on the second day, and only four meters on the third day. The stolen cave, which is more than ten meters deep, has already exceeded the height of the soil layer. When it is excavated to about eight meters, there is already a hard rock layer. However, just as Fu Hongshan was about to continue digging, they suddenly stopped.

Fu Hongshan and Chen Qing under the stolen cave reached the ground through the pulley frame. When Hu Qingguo was still stunned, Chen Qing seemed very excited and handed the things in his hand to Hu Qingguo. "Look, little Hu, this is what was dug up below."

What Chen Qing held in his hand was only a handful of yellow sand, which was not strange at first. On the contrary, after Hu Qingguo took it over, he was immediately overjoyed. "I said, I said hiding so deep must not be so simple, ha ha."

Bai Ling said, "little Hu, why are you smiling so happily?"

"You don't understand." not only Bai Ling doesn't understand, but Jiang Yilong and Liu Dafu don't understand. Seeing that the faces of the three of us are almost the same, Hu Qingguo continued: "This is an ancient anti-theft means, called quicksand tomb. This kind of tomb was very difficult to build at the beginning, but the anti-theft effect is very good. For tombs like this, usually the surrounding of the tomb will be filled with fried fine sand, ranging from a few tons to hundreds of tons. Once the stealing hole is dug, the fine sand will be filled immediately by the fine sand. Of course, if you are careless, people will be killed by the fine sand Buried in it. "

Bai Ling said, "since it's a quicksand tomb, it's more difficult for us. Why are you so happy? Shouldn't you be worried?"

Hu Qingguo said three things in a row and said with a smile, "you really should worry about such a thing. However, since you don't know how high the cost of this quicksand tomb is, you can build a quicksand tomb for yourself at that time. What identity do you think the owner of such a tomb will be? Besides, we have found quicksand now, that is to say, we are close to the ancient tomb."

According to Hu Qingguo, it is not difficult to guess that the owner of the tomb must have been a person who was either rich or expensive at that time. This fact was indeed beyond all our expectations. However, when we are happy, we have to face the reality.

Jiang Yilong said, "the ancient tomb is so powerful against theft. What should we do next?"

Fang Wenhu said, "the only way to ensure 100% safety of such quicksand tombs is to take out all the sand filled around the ancient tomb. However, the process takes time, and it can't be completed in a day or two."

"What should I do?" I said.

"We have to find a way to make a horizontal hole and bypass the quicksand layer. Although this is very risky, once it is successful, isn't there much fun in the ancient tomb?"
