"What's wrong with you two?" the water pump asked in confusion.

Huang Mao didn't say a word, he didn't want the shovel and pick, he ran out scrambling.

I ran faster, and before the yellow hair moved, I turned around and ran away.

"What is this! It's not sticky."

The water pump grabbed what was in his hand suspiciously, took a look, threw it away and ran away.

"Snakes! Fucking snakes!"

Because it is inconvenient to pour soil up and down with a ladder, and the leather buckets always bump into each other, so the ladder is taken away when we are working.

Huang Mao shouted: "Three Guarantees! Three Guarantees! Ladder! Put down the ladder!"

"What's the matter with you?" Sanbao asked.

"Snakes... dug out a lot of snakes!

"Put the ladder down!" Huang Mao shouted in horror.

"snake!"

San Bao was so frightened that he directly covered the hole with wooden planks.

The light in the burglary dimmed instantly, and if it wasn't for the headlights, I wouldn't be able to see anything.

The water pump that ran out finally saw that the hole was covered, and immediately cursed.

"Shh..."

"Shut up..."

"Did you hear anything?" I asked.

"I didn't hear anything, nothing happened."

After Huang Mao finished speaking, he scolded again: "Three guarantees! I am xxxxx"

I was startled when I saw a snake just now, but now I am calmer, because anyone who has studied biology knows that a snake is similar to a tortoise. If it is in a hibernation state, it is basically not aggressive. Waking up from hibernation Come here, it takes time.

In addition, it is not uncommon to find snakes when digging soil. Many construction sites may dig out snakes when building roads.

Because it is cold in winter, snakes hibernate in underground holes, which is a natural phenomenon.

I said Brother Pump, go back and have a look, the snake won't move after hibernating.

"Fuck! Why don't you go! If you don't bite, go!" the water pump said.

I said again: "Then you go, Brother Huang Mao, you will never bite anyone."

Huang Mao stared at me hard and said: "Brother Feng, you go, I killed you, I will cremate you for you."

"Oh shit."

"What's the big deal, you two are timid, I'll go and I'll go."

I grabbed hold of my headlamp and began to crawl back.

At this time, I heard Huang Mao yelling at Three Guarantees for refusing to erect the ladder.

Climbing back this time, I can see clearly.

Dozens of snakes were dug out by the water pump with one pick.

The long ones are more than one meter long, and the short ones are less than half a meter. There are several hanging on the wall, and a few hanging from the pick handle.

Some of these snakes can move, but most of them are motionless. The scales on the snakes are yellow-black with round spots.

What kind of snake is this?

At this time, it reflects the importance of knowledge.

In the past, Sister Hong was interested in botany biology. I have read a few books in her room. One of them was about snakes. I could see this kind of snake just after opening a few pages. I remember it was called The flower snake is still the flower snake, it is not poisonous.

I thought about it, something was wrong.

Think about it.

Now the depth of the robbery hole is about six meters underground, surrounded by solid soil, can the snake hibernate in such a deep underground?

Is this a snake or a burrower?

I carefully avoided a few flower snakes on the ground, looked carefully at the wall, and after looking at it, I pulled the soil twice with the shovel.

Soon, I found a small hole spreading to the right, hollow and the size of a fist.

At this time, a voice came from outside the cave: "Go quickly! Sanbao put down the ladder!"

I ignored it, and used the pickaxe to plan on the wall on the right side of the robbery hole.

A large amount of broken soil fell down, and after a few diggings, a big hole suddenly collapsed.

The entrance of the cave is pitch black, there is no wind, no sound, it is very quiet.

"Have you reached the underground palace? No? It's still far away."

I grabbed the headlamp tightly and leaned sideways to look over.

Next to the hole we made, there is actually a robbery hole on the right side!

There is a layer of wooden boards on the roof of the cave, and the bottom is supported by sticks as thick as arms. The horizontal robbery hole we dug and the one we found suddenly are separated by soil layers in the middle, and the distance is less than [-] centimeters!

I was dumbfounded.

The snakes of emotion didn't come down from the ground, they crawled into this robber's hole first, and then climbed into our hole.

At this time, my headlight suddenly started to flicker, I wondered if it was out of battery, so I hurriedly backed out to call for someone.

Yang Kun was not there just now, I said Brother Yang, come down and have a look, the situation is good, I found a robbery hole with the same route as ours.

One thing to know.

The route Yang Kun decided was the coordinates he asked Huang Mao to use the theodolite laser to mark, and it was the closest road to the ancient pagoda.

......

10 minute later.

"What should I do, boss?"

"The front of this hole seems to be very deep, and I can't even illuminate the end with my flashlight." The water pump asked.

Yang Kun scolded: "What are you looking at! This must have been taken first! I'm so stupid, let me know who did it! He must be buried alive!"

I didn't speak because I felt there was nothing wrong.

As soon as I raised my head and touched the board, I squatted down and walked about 100 meters along this robbery hole. I found that there was a dead end in front of me. It leads to the underground palace under the tower.

But judging from the current situation, the backfilling of this burrow stopped suddenly after only half of it was done. The people before were so panicked that they didn’t even take away the support boards above their heads. It was precisely because of these boards that the burrow did not collapse.

I thought about it, and said to Yang Kun: "Brother Yang, the road ahead is blocked. If we want to find something, we may have to crawl backwards to see where this mouse hole came from."

Yang Kun made a dark face, nodded and said: "That's right, you go first, I'll follow."

I cursed in my heart: "You old Yinbi, I will go ahead, if something happens, I will die first."

After squatting and crawling forward for more than ten meters, I looked back and found that they hadn't moved a few times.

"Come on, what are you doing?" I yelled.

"Don't panic, let's keep a distance, you are walking forward."

"That's right, the boss is right, keep your distance," the pump yelled.

I cursed in a low voice, and then crawled forward.

"what?"

I saw something lying on the ground seven or eight meters away in front of the robbery hole.

Speeding up and crawling over, I illuminated it with a light, and I couldn't help being frightened by the scene in front of me, with a bang!called out.

"Brother Yang! Come here! There is a dead person!" I shouted back.

There is no one behind me.

Yang Kun's yellow hair in the water pump ran away and disappeared.

It's dead, no.

A more accurate description would be a dead man with a little flesh left on his face, rotten, but not yet rotten, and even in winter he could still smell a faint stench.

The lower part of the body was dressed in ripped jeans, a black sneaker on one foot, and the other foot was bent outward without a shoe.

He didn't wear a coat on his upper body, only a round-necked black sweater.

From the style of the sneakers and the thickness of the socks on the dead man's feet, I deduce that the dead man may have died last winter.

I blocked my nose with my clothes, stepped over the corpse and walked to the second half of the robbery hole.

I looked up from here and watched for a few tens of seconds, and I understood everything.

"Are you all right, brother? Come on up."

Yang Kun pulled me up the ladder.

"What was your name just now? Is there something?"

I ignored him.

After patting the soil, I took a shovel and ran to the back of the house, where the soil was dumped.

Following the place where I found the rotten down jacket last time, I dug down a few times with a shovel, and soon found a square wooden board.

Use a shovel to pry open the wooden board, revealing a large hole with a diameter of about 60 cm on the ground.

I waved away the dust and looked down with a flashlight.

The height is about 4 meters, and I happened to see the undecomposed corpse lying in the robbery cave.

I figured the dead man was the round-faced fat guy in the photo, and the water pump had burned the photo, but even if it was there, it was of little use, and it was impossible to recognize it.

"Who is this man? How did he die?"

"Did you get hacked by your accomplices?"

This [-]-meter robbery hole discovered by accident was definitely not dug by one person, it was definitely done by a group of people.

What happened?As a result, the group left in a hurry without finishing backfilling.

This dead fat man, the body is on the bottom, and the clothes are on the top.

Could it be that some accomplices above wanted to pull him up, but they couldn't pull him up, only a down jacket was pulled up?

Is there any secret hidden in the underground palace under the tower of Kaiyuan Temple?

Yang Kun coughed, and said: "Brother Xiang, you have a lot of ideas, and now such a thing suddenly happened, in your opinion, what should we do next?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, let me think about it."

"Brother Pump, I'm afraid. There is a dead person. Is it the fat man in the photo?"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother is here, Tingting is not afraid."

There are still a bunch of snakes in the cave that have not been cleaned up. This must not be done, so let's call it a day.

When I got back to the room on the second floor, it was more than three o'clock in the middle of the night. I didn't know where the water pump went. I lay on the bed and turned over and over, unable to sleep.

I suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, so I got up, put on my clothes and went downstairs.

Before I reached the door of the toilet, I suddenly heard Tingting's soft cry.

"Oh... Brother pump, I'm numb..."

The water pump said: "It's good if it's numb, it's good if it's numb."

I didn't dare to disturb others, I thought about going to the door to solve it.

Opened the door and came out, went to the base of the wall, unbuttoned his pants and drained the water. At this moment, the cold wind blew, and his mind cleared up.

Anyway, I couldn't sleep, and I wasn't in a hurry to go upstairs. I sat on the steps and took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked, thinking about my thoughts.

If only I were Conan, there is only one truth, and the key is that I don’t have that brain.

In the dead of night, I could clearly hear any disturbance. I was smoking a cigarette and thinking about something, when I suddenly heard a rushing sound coming from somewhere behind me.

I turned my head to look and rubbed my eyes, thinking I was delusional.

It was pitch black, and there seemed to be an old man with white hair squatting in the garden not far away.

The old man squatted on the crabapple lace with his back to me.

I just saw him squatting there, holding the water pipe in both hands, motionless.

Watering the flowers.
