Chapter 254 The way to make money from the old zongzi
When I heard the three words "Night Pearl", I looked up reflexively and looked at the 100W light bulb above my head.
After accustomed to the strong light, the two of them looked up to look at the light source above the tomb, and then they were stunned at the same time.
The man holding the sledgehammer in his hand took two steps forward unconsciously, probably to see what was hanging above his head.
Puchi-Wow~Gagahaha...Woo-Gagahaha!
The man stepped on a plastic doll, and the doll made a baby cry. It knocked down the electric duck blocking the "rail track". The duck ran while screaming. The small train blocked by it pulled the whistle and ran again. The man was so scared that he jumped onto the "Boss" and screamed octave in his mouth.
The two tomb robbers looked at the ground at this time. Coincidentally, I was sitting not far from them, leaning against a stone statue half a man high.
The statue was originally a ghost-like figure, and with my Shrek appearance, they had their eyes swept here and then a second wave of screams broke out. Before they could see other places, they turned around and escaped from the tomb.
This is a human instinctive reaction. When they stop and think about it, they will find abnormalities in the tomb. For example, how can there be electric ducks and small trains in the ancient tomb?
I have heard tomb robbers say before that what they are most afraid of in ancient tombs is not the zongzi mechanism poison trap, but the items of modern people.
Because if there are modern people's things in a tomb, such as flashlights, towels, food bags, and mineral water bottles, it means that the tomb must have been stolen.
What is more terrifying than risking your life to lose all your money?
I understand their feelings. After all, the tomb robbers themselves have the risk of sitting in prison. If they are penniless and go to squat in a trumpet, they can only: holding steamed buns in their hands... tears can't stop flowing down.
As long as you find that there are modern people's belongings in the tomb, your fear will be greatly reduced.
Sure enough, after a while, the two of them turned back again, one of them holding a bright kitchen knife in their hand and the other holding a sharpening rod in their hand.
The two of them are so amateur equipment. They are wearing mining work clothes, and the mining lamps on their heads are sold online for 48 yuan. They wear wire gloves on their hands for 20 cents, and their feet are covered with Jiefang shoes and their shoelaces are running away.
The sledgehammer just now was professional, and the kitchen knife looked good. One of them should be a decoration and the other was a chef.
As if she didn't see them, Milky Way sat in front of her workbench and continued carving wood. Chen Qinghan did not make a move to fight.
The two saw someone in the tomb, but they just held the "murder weapon" and neither of them stepped forward.
The man holding the sharpening rod quickly looked at the tomb and spoke in a hesitant tone: "Are you... changing the tomb room into the studio?"
"Who are you?" The person holding the kitchen knife was quite loud, but he was obviously not confident and suspected of bluffing.
They only have two people, and they have no advantage in numbers, so they dare not take action easily.
"Let's visit." I raised my hand and pointed at Chen Qinghan.
"The housing prices are high, living here is free." Galaxy cooperated with them very well. She, who has always been a little talkative, actually answered their questions.
The kitchen knife man was a little bolder and asked forward: "Where is the treasure?"
"Look at the picture and talk." Milky Way pointed at the painting on the wall with a carving knife.
If you look at the murals and carvings on the stone platform, you will know that this ancient tomb does not have any treasure buried, it is a "door blocking stone" that suppresses the evil ghosts' gate.
The mural depicts the scene of the burial of the "hero", each person and a coffin, and there are no other burial objects.
"Boss, could they be found by that group of people?" the man holding the sharpening stick asked whispered.
"Idiot, can these things be arranged in a short time? This is something that someone took the lead." The kitchen knife man gritted his teeth and turned his eyes to the mural on the wall.
Judging from his opinion, they didn't come in for long, and another group of people came in too.
I guess the other group was a professional team. The person who was dizzy in the passage should be the backpack of the professional team.
"Liu Lao Nian'er - Wang Datou!!" A murderous voice broke in from outside the door, and the voice's owner was also coming in.
"Young Master Dong?" The man holding the sharpening rod shrank his neck and showed an expression of doing something wrong when he saw the visitor.
The person who came was none other than the young man who was scared by us in the passage. He ran into the tomb chamber with his backpack behind him panting. The tomb door slowly closed behind him. He glimpsed us in the outskirts and his whole body instantly became petrified.
The young man ran too fast and stepped on the track of the train with a click. Galaxy did not get angry. She turned the carving knife in her hand and said to the young man: "Pure handmade 10:1 simulated retro luxury version of train track accessories, original price 1,800, recently held an event, after discount, 1,620, you can pick up the goods in person and get free postage, 1,600, thank you."
I never expected that the longest sentence I had ever heard her say in my life would be like this...a complicated thing.
The young man was also stunned. Perhaps out of instinct, he immediately followed: "What is 1,600, are you cheating people?"
"No compensation?" Galaxy stopped turning the knife and turned to look at the young man, "I have lived here for more than 800 years, and there is no living person who can rely on my account."
As soon as she said this, let alone the young people, the two people with knives and sticks were so scared that they shivered.
Her face was stern and her eyes were dark, as if she had changed. No one would doubt that anything she said at this time was that this dangerous and powerful aura was formed by her countless killings. It is estimated that the original tomb owner would not have the lethality of her as she was resurrected.
"I didn't want to bet on the debt. 1,600 is not expensive and the price is fair. But... I don't have enough cash, do you think?" The young man patted his clothes pockets and took out 800 yuan in cash and a few pieces of change.
“WeChat transfer.”
It seems that if you know that the young man will say that there is no signal and you can't access the Internet, the Galaxy pats the black box on the table.
When I fell from the entrance, I realized that the tomb was very close to the surface, similar to the basement of an ordinary building. There was a mobile phone signal amplifier on her workbench. I used to want to get this thing in the tomb, but unfortunately it cost several thousand yuan, and I didn't have an address to receive the goods at that time.
When the young man saw the black box, his expression was amazing. He accepted his fate and took out his cell phone and added Galaxy's WeChat to transfer money to her.
I said why she is so rich? I am afraid that she has been cheating in many tomb robbers over the years. The tomb robbers didn't touch a piece of artifact to the tomb, but was cheated by the old rice dumplings occupied by the magpie's nest. It can be regarded as a strange story about ancient and modern times.
However, if you often walk by the river, you can’t show off your shoes. They steal graves and dig tombs. It’s impossible for them to keep taking other people’s things for nothing. They will have to pay them back sooner or later.
After paying the bill, the man holding the sharpener rod had obviously wrong expression, and his eyes kept floating towards the door, as if he wanted to go out.
He just stepped on the toy on the ground, but it didn't break it. He just had half a shoe print on the doll's clothes.
"Don't be afraid, you don't have to pay compensation, I don't want to die."
Galaxy said this so scared the man holding the sharpener. He knelt down and threw the stick in his hand, bowed repeatedly.
"Grandma Zongzi, please spare me! I, I'm really a first offense. I didn't take anything. The guy who was eating fell into the trap. Please spare me..." The man snotted and cried, looking at it, it was very pitiful. I said why didn't he hold a sledgehammer when he came in again? It turned out that he fell into the trap.
After the puppets carrying candles came in, they put out the candles. They flew around the Milky Way. This strange scene made the kitchen knife man dare not approach.
His forehead was covered with sweat beads, and the kitchen knife in his hand was almost unable to hold it. He glanced at the door, but the door of the main tomb only had a mechanism to open the door outside, but there was no inside.
If he prying the door, he would expose his back to the enemy, so he did not move for a long time. He could not count on his companions who were kneeling on the ground.
"You are poisoned." Galaxy didn't want to hear him crying and interrupted him without any intention of hearing him crying.
The man's cry stopped and he calmed down before asking, "What poison? What poison did I get?"
Galaxy sat back in front of the workbench and continued to carve her wood, "The poison of the former homeowner is unsolvable."
I understand this. Although the Milky Way lives in the tomb, it may not necessarily clear out all the traps of the mechanism, especially the poisons that are ineffective against her. She does not need to spend time to remove them deliberately.
When ancient people built tombs, they mostly mixed poisons into the soil, sealed the tomb door, smeared on the wall, or laid the ground.
Even if tomb robbers do not touch these poisons directly, they will inhale poison gas that evaporates into the air.
The young man who was cheated was fine, only the person who was kneeling on the ground was poisoned. There are two possibilities: either they did not go the same path, or the poisoned person directly touched the poison.
"Then, what about me?" The kitchen knife man finally couldn't help it. He should have been with Liu Lao Nian'er forever, so he heard that Liu Lao Nian'er was poisoned and he felt like he was struck by lightning.
The young man just called two names, and I guess the one who knelt on the ground was Liu Lao Nian'er, because the man with a kitchen knife had a big head, so he must be Wang Datou.
"You don't." Milky Way didn't even look at him, carving the wood in his hand seriously.
Wang Datou breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Lao Nian'er cried again, but the young man did not leave after transferring the money. He reached out to Wang Datou and said, "Give me the things back."
Wang Datou looked around and shook his head in frustration: "I didn't have my place, so I asked the Leng's surname to take it away."
The young man was so angry that he scolded him for a long time. I roughly heard their relationship. The young man named Dong hired someone to renovate the old house. When Wang Datou and Liu Lao Nianer were smashing the wall, they found a box hidden in the wall.
They thought the box was the money hidden by the ancestors of the Dong family. When they pried it open, they found a copper key and a sheepskin map.
Although there is no gold and silver, they believe that this is a treasure map and the copper key can open the treasure door.
If it weren't for the treasure, how could the ancestors of the Dong family hide things in the wall? Who would have hidden the rag so secretly?
The two of them were determined to see money, but they happened to be caught by a young man named Dong. They ran away with the box in their arms, and they didn't dare to go back.
They were greedy and lacked IQ. They could have handed the box to the young man to deceive him, and then stole it out for a while. If they really couldn't, they sneaked into their homes in masks, assassinated people, and then ran away with the box... No, this is too bad. They agreed that I would be a new person and be a good citizen who abides by the law!
In short, they snatched other people's things in broad daylight and were chased by young people all the way. The process was quite tortuous, and finally they chased them here.
What the young man wants is the key because the map is useless, and the location marked on the map is this ancient tomb.
Perhaps the young man is the descendant of the tomb owner, but there may be any changes in his family. Those who know the details of the tomb hid the clues and did not leave any verbal instructions, so that no descendants knew about it again.
Milky Way has lived in the tomb for 800 years, and the box will not be built into the wall for more than 100 years at most, so the Dong family's habit of hiding boxes has probably been there for dozens of generations.
Maybe the last person who hid the box himself didn't know where the clues in the box would point.
I have heard of such stories from tomb robbers. Reality is often more bizarre and tortuous than novels. History leaves too many blank spaces, from the world to the smallest family, there are more empty places.
But one day, future generations will find the lost puzzle and see the full picture of the truth.
I looked at the Milky Way. If the young man was the descendant of the tomb owner and she lived in the house for so many years, how could she settle the account?
She didn't even raise her eyelids, and when the young man finished scolding, she said calmly: "You... your ancestors have become spirits, I cremated him for you, no need to thank you."
A string of meaningless mumbs spilled out of the young man's throat, and I don't think he knew what to say for a moment.
"Grandma Zongzi, you have no limits of magic power. Please save me. Woooo I don't want to die yet-" Liu Lao Nian'er climbed to the edge of the workbench and wanted to kowtow to Yinhe. Two puppets grabbed his ears and forced him to straighten his body.
"I said it, there is no solution." Galaxy really has a good temper towards them. She is willing to explain it repeatedly, but she has not gotten angry yet.
When they decide to go to the tomb to seize treasure, they should have the awareness of death. The ancient tomb is dangerous and once poisoned, it is difficult to get timely treatment.
But Liu Lao Nian'er looked nothing unusual, except for the bubbling of big snot, no symptoms of poisoning were seen.
Liu Lao Nian'er wiped his tears and sat dejectedly on the ground, becoming the real Lao Nian.
If it were him, I would hurry out of the grave and find the nearest hospital to have a complete blood test. What if I could rescue it?
But neither he nor Wang Datou had any plans to leave. Wang Datou looked around and picked a place without toys to sit down, his face full of depressed expression.
After the young man named Dong scolded Wang Datou and the others, he went to see the murals. After that, he looked at several people in the tomb one by one. He had already scolded the two thieves who were stealing things. He dared not provoke Milky Way. When his eyes swept across me, he did not stop for a second, and he obviously dodged. Finally, his eyes were fixed on Chen Qinghan.
"You, that, cough, do you know the way out?" the young man asked very politely.
"I know, but I still have something to do. I can't send you out now."
"You... know her?" The young man dared not look directly at Milky Way, and only pointed at her from the corner of his eyes.
