Republic of China small businessman

Chapter 147 The Living Tomb

Bai Hongqi snuggled into his arms without saying a word.

She thought of all the things in the past, Bai Mingyu didn't lie, this silly boy has always been very kind to her.

As long as it is a letter written by her, no matter how small it is, Bai Er will seriously reply to it. I can explain a small matter to her for two pages. There are also those jewelry that came with the letter, some are expensive jewelry, and some are expensive. It was the rattle drums and paper lanterns bought at the roadside stalls... He was always like this, as if he saw something good, he wanted to bring it all to her.

For some reason, just as she was thinking here, Bai Er happened to talk about it: "Auntie, when I came here a few days ago, I saw a beautiful Sichuan brocade. After I go out, I will find the best tailor for you." Make some new clothes, beautiful ones, and shoes, I'll buy you two pairs, no, I'll buy you ten pairs."

Bai Hongqi clenched his sleeve tightly, and said awkwardly: "I don't want it."

"Why?"

"Who knows who else you gave it to?"

Bai Mingyu said anxiously: "What do you think I am? Where did I give one to others? I gave it all to you!" With the recklessness of a young man at this age, he swore seriously: "I only bought it for you alone. Shi, if I lie to you, God will strike me with a thunderbolt! You know it well, but I only miss you in my heart."

The last sentence is a bit embarrassing.

Bai Hong got up for a while, then whispered: "Shanghai stock market is so big, people who are better than me..."

"No, no, I haven't seen any of them!" Bai Mingyu rushed to interrupt her, his heart felt like a small flame for some reason, and he obviously didn't say anything out of the ordinary but blushed inexplicably.With a little strength in his arms, he hugged the person in his arms tightly, and whispered in her ear: "I don't care what others say, anyway, you are the best when you are with me."

Bai Hong pushed him up, but didn't push him. This man was as strong as a bull and didn't know how to measure it. She leaned too close to his chest, and the sound of violent heartbeats could be heard in her ears, which was transmitted through the chest cavity. I can't tell if it's his or my own.

"Auntie, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you in the East Courtyard. When I was in Nanfang, all I could think about was how to marry you back home."

Bai Hong bit her lip.

When in Nanfang?

At that time, she regarded Bai Mingyu as a competitor, as the apprentice Jiushu kept by her side, and compared him everywhere.Bai Er was also dumbfounded, and always ran to her to be angry with her when he had nothing to do. She was so angry several times that she almost wanted to beat someone with a whip, but she thought he was very annoying.

She thought that Bai Er wanted to compete with her.

But thinking about it carefully, she already had some clues, it was because she didn't think about it.

There was an autumn rain in Nanfang that year, and Bai Er stood at the door of the car dealership waiting for her to come back. His clothes were all wet, but the small wooden box he held up in his sleeve was not at all wet from the rain. Waiting for her to come back at the gate; on the Northland train, this foolish boy insisted on sending her all the way to the outside of the pass; in Buffalo Town, from the first moment to the few days when she was trapped in the underground palace, Bai Er protected her from the beginning , Never complained a word, never gave up on her, and didn't give up on myself.

……

This man is strong, looks reckless, but also knows how to hurt others.

It's just that I can't see it on weekdays, the more I am in front of the person I like, the more stupid I am.

"Stupid." Bai Hongqi muttered.

When Bai Mingyu heard this, he became suspicious: "Auntie, did you scold me just now?"

"No, I'm praising you."

"You say I'm stupid...

Bai Hong laughed, stretched out her hand to pinch his strong arm, and said softly: "What an idiot, what I said is that stupid people are blessed with stupidity."

Bai Mingyu usually goes straight and straight, but today he rarely turned a corner. He suddenly understood in a flash, his eyes lit up soon, he grinned, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do, he just held the hand of the girl in his arms. Rubbing it in the palm of his hand, he gave her a sigh of relief, and carefully hugged her tightly.

Bai Mingyu thought to himself, he was going to die, so it turned out that what was said in the play was true.

When his aunt glanced at him or said a word to him, his heart would jump out of his throat.

Don't talk about mountains of gold and silver, if you want him, you will give him his life.

In a few days, Bai Mingyu relied on his own strength to push down two sealed earthen walls, and finally found a way out.

He helped Bai Hong up, stumbled forward all the way, groped forward in the darkness, walked for an unknown amount of time, and finally saw a dim yellow light.

Bai Mingyu was overjoyed, almost carrying Miss Hong on his back, crawling all the way along the low soil cave, but he didn't think that it was not the way out, but another cave.

It is not an earth cave, but a stone wall and wooden boards are added, like a room, and there is a small altar in the middle, with several altars of millet and other offerings on the left and right according to the number of heaven and earth, and the sesame oil enshrined on the top. The lamp was lit, and the little light that could be seen was also emitted by it. Under the light of a bean lamp, a few crumpled fruits in the pottery plate had been placed for an unknown period of time and lost their moisture.

There was a movement of someone beside the altar, and Bai Hong noticed it at first, and she screamed in a low voice, clutching the clothes on Bai Mingyu's shoulders, and said in a low voice, "There is someone there!"

Bai Mingyu was very courageous. After putting her down, he picked up a wooden stick wrapped with satin and went to the side. He got closer to see her clearly, and immediately shouted: "Mr. Huang?!"

They went round and round all the way, and after climbing an earth cave tunnel for an unknown amount of time, they unexpectedly met Huang Mingyou.

Huang Mingyou's hands were tied, and the rope was loosened a little, but not completely loose. He looked a little tired, but his consciousness was still clear, and he recognized the two of them. Just fine."

Bai Mingyu and the two quickly helped Mr. Huang up, but found that Huang Mingyou was dragging a leg, limp and weak, as if his leg bone was broken.

Bai Mingyu gritted his teeth with hatred: "Those troublemakers!"

Mr. Huang's complexion was not very good, and he pointed to the altar and said to them: "There are still a few jars of millet over there. Remember to find the intact ones, and chew a handful with the shells on to satisfy your hunger. I have been relying on these millets for the past few days. today."

Bai Mingyu was obedient and went to search for it.

Huang Mingyou took advantage of the light to see that Bai Hongqi was wearing gold leaf paper clothes, while Bai Mingyu's forehead and body were covered with blood and mud, especially the wound on his head had dried up and scabbed, and a few strands of hair and blood had coagulated In one place, very embarrassed.

Huang Mingyou asked about the situation when the two of them were arrested, and he sighed when he learned that the other party was being targeted in Jiangkou.

Bai Hongqi asked: "Sir, what is this place? Could it be where they hide their treasures?"

Huang Mingyou shook his head, frowning tightly.

Bai Mingyu rummaged through and found a small jug of wine. He didn't know how long it had been kept, it tasted spicy.

But it is also reassuring, at least it is clean.

He shared some with several people, and Bai Hongqi took a sip, her face flushed from coughing.

Bai Mingyu was fine, he usually chewed grains, while looking at Huang Mingyou, seeing that he was wearing a strange long robe, and he couldn't tell what kind of pattern it was, so he asked suspiciously: "Sir, why have you been arrested and brought to this underground palace? What kind of clothes are you wearing, how do you look like you are singing an opera?"

Huang Mingyou drank a couple of sips of wine, and felt a little better: "This is what the emperor used to wear. It's just that these mountain people don't know so much, so they put me on a few at random. It's very messy."

Bai Mingyu was puzzled: "What is this for? Arrest us to play a show with him. The emperor is gone. What's the use of doing this?"

Bai Hongqi at the side changed his expression, and when his hand touched the gold leaf paper clothes on his body, he made a slight rustling sound.

"If I were alone, I would only have a few guesses, but seeing Miss Hong's body, I'm afraid I can't be wrong." Huang Mingyou sighed: "This is not an underground palace, but a living tomb."

"Living tomb?"

"Yes, the undead, the tomb he repaired for himself, we are all his sacrifices."

Huang Mingyou asked Bai Mingyu to help him up. After looking around, he frowned for a long time, and suddenly said: "No, no, it should be according to the old calendar 200 years ago. If it was then..." He asked Bai Er to support him. I changed another position, calculated for a moment and said: "That's right, this is all right."

Bai Mingyu: "Sir?"

Huang Mingyou smiled wryly: "Have you heard the story of Xiwang Chen Yin?"

Bai Mingyu didn't respond. Bai Hongqi, who was sitting and resting beside him, said, "Mr. is talking about Shen Yin Jue? But this is on a mountain, not in a river."

"At the beginning when the King of the West entered the land of Shu, he was defeated and fled. He melted gold and silver and cast them into gold cakes and silver bricks and took them away. It is said that some of them sank into the water from the mouth of the river by water, and some of them were secretly sent into the mountains. Three hundred masons were employed. The rest of us are guarding the treasure of the Western King, waiting for future generations to open it, and rebuild their achievements." Huang Mingyou's lips were broken, and he said dryly: "None of the three hundred stonemasons came out of the mountain, and some people said they were killed, but the treasures are also gone. Now it seems that it was hidden and guarded by those people."

Bai Hongqi clenched her hands tightly and said nervously: "Sir, you mean, those people didn't hide the treasure in the mountains, but... they came to repair the tomb..."

Huang Mingyou nodded.

If so, everything makes sense.

The population in Buffalo Town has been thin for more than a hundred years, and they rarely interact with the outside world. Most of the carvings are in the shape of dragons and tigers, and the whole town respects the old rituals almost harshly.

There are still a few murals in the tomb. Huang Mingyou took the oil lamp and asked Bai Mingyu to carry him over to look at it, wanting to understand more.The place where these people imprisoned them was not randomly chosen. While watching, he asked Bai Mingyu: "Did those mountain people say anything when they arrested you?"

Bai Mingyu said: "I asked about my birth date, but my aunt refused to say it. They broke my head, and that's why I said it."

Huang Mingyou asked them about their birth dates, and since it was the husband who asked, they both said it.

Huang Mingyou had a little understanding of Ziwei Doushu, so he did some calculations, and said: "They should be looking for someone with a very noble fate to press their luck. Both of yours are good, and Miss Hong's is even better, so I put them on for her. Gold leaf paper clothes."
