The headless snake struggled desperately in the steel pipe, its tail hitting the steel pipe with a clanging sound.
Only then did I understand. I didn't even walk to where we were doing our homework. Instead, I was led here by the sound of these animals using steel pipes.
Just as I fell, the other two steel pipes fell one after another, and there was a hissing sound behind my ears.
I didn't even need to look to know that the other two were also hiding snakes, and were now crawling towards me.
"It's over. I think I'm going to die this time!”
However, even though I couldn't dodge their fangs, I still had the strength to hold them and cut them off with my knife after being bitten.
I suddenly thought of a poem:
"A true warrior will fight even if he is lying down.”
The venomous snake's belly rubbed against the ground as it crawled towards my neck. However, just as I was about to fight them to the death with the dagger in my hand, a light suddenly flashed in front of me and I heard the sound of a knife slashing by my ear.
Then, I saw Bro Flattop and my father standing in front of me with electric lights in their hands.
"Did this thing bite you?"
his father said.
"If you were two steps later, you could have directly chopped off my head.”
I said.
Seeing that I was fine, my father pulled me up and the three of us walked out of the field together. When we reached the river in the west, we stopped. This is where I draw water and light the fire. The fallen leaves were still burning.
Seeing that I was fine, my father began to lecture me.
"What's wrong with you? How could you get lost when I brought you a bucket of water? If I didn't see the fire in the south, I wouldn't know where you went.”
I knew that the flame he was talking about was the flame of my lighter.
I was also very unconvinced and said,
"You're still talking about me! You guys are the same. You can't even look after your own things. If it weren't for your steel pipe, would I have gone in the wrong direction?”
Then we were silent for a while. At last Father said,
"These snakes are too cunning. Bro Flattop and I were pouring water in when we found a big mound of dirt nearby. When we went over to check, the snakes took the opportunity to sweep away the pipe.”
Speaking of those mounds, I immediately became curious again and asked what was going on with those mounds.。
"Nothing, just a big toad? A toad the size of a jeep!”
Then Bro Flattop said,
"I didn't expect there to be such a big toad down there! He swallowed all the medicine that we fed him, and his body expanded violently. Not only did he arch the ground, but he also continuously released poisonous gas. You didn't get hit just now, right?"
It would be strange if he didn't get hit! I thought you were buried under the ground! I was poisoned the moment I dug."
I said, but I was glad that I didn't dig it up. Otherwise, such a big toad would eat me like a pest.
"How is the toad?" I asked.
Then his father said,"
"We're not as stupid as you to dig up the soil. Instead, we saw that the situation was not right and directly inserted the steel pipe into it, releasing the toad, water, and blood. He probably wouldn't live long. There was more than one toad. Tonight's work was in vain.
"What a failure!"
I said,
"Then what should we do next? If he was already bullied like this before he even went down, wouldn't he be beaten up when he went down to their territory?”
"What's wrong? You're scared!"
Father gave me a contemptuous look.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, but it's always good to be careful.”
Bro Flattop had been smoking as if he had something to do! At this moment, he suddenly threw the cigarette in his mouth to the ground.
"Damn it. Those who were afraid of ghosts did not rob tombs, and those who robbed tombs were not afraid of ghosts. Our goal is very pure. We're here for money, not to play games with the pets of the dead. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, let's have a quick one.”
Bro Flattop's words immediately made me correct my goal. I was encouraged and determined to get down as soon as possible.
In the blink of an eye, it was already three in the morning.
We were all a little sleepy. The few of us packed our things and walked back. Along the way, we discussed the specific matters. When I got home, it was still dark. I washed my face casually and fell asleep. I slept until the evening. When I woke up, I realized that my father had woken up earlier than me.
He was still busy in the courtyard as usual, but today he was not busy for nothing, but doing serious things.
According to the plan, we will secretly find a place to bury my grandfather tonight. Tomorrow morning, we'll use another coffin to put on our tomb raiding equipment and pretend to have a funeral. Then, we'll build a fake grave at the place we attacked as a cover. The inside of the tomb is hollow with wood, which can be used as our tomb robbing base.
So even though we already have a coffin, Father had no choice but to go out and buy another one. Now, my father is looking at the two coffins in the courtyard and shaking his head.
"Sigh! One died, but two coffins were needed. Isn't this a little unlucky?”
To be honest, I also feel that it's a little unlucky. However, in order to make a fortune, it was not worth mentioning whether it was auspicious or not. She comforted him and said,
"You can't say that. What was so unlucky about that? Coffin, coffin, promotion and wealth. This implied a lot. Don't always think of it as a tool to hold the dead. Just think of it as a box to hold gold and silver treasures. Since ancient times, those who did great things did not care about trifles. In the past, during the Spring Festival, you would always carry wood to your house and say that you could make a fortune this way. However, you would carry wood every year, but you never saw our family make a fortune every year. I've been poor for half my life, and there's finally a good opportunity to make a fortune in front of me. I can't be timid and miss this opportunity.”
Then, his father said,
"Most importantly, he's not filial! He buried it secretly like this! What's the difference between that and burying animals?"
"Filial piety doesn't depend on what happens after death. It depends on how he treated him when he was alive.”I said.
After hearing my words, my father was no longer conflicted and immediately changed the topic.
"I wonder if there's anything valuable in that tomb. I haven't even seen anything good yet, and I've already spent more than 500 yuan.”
"Don't worry! Bro Flattop said that there was a big shot in the tomb, a big shot! Even a strand of hair is thicker than our legs."
Grave robbing was a job that required one to hide during the day and come out at night. One day had passed before they even noticed it.
The sky darkened again.
After dinner, my father and I went to the wheat field outside the village and dug a grave. After that, he came back without stopping and used an ox cart to pull the coffin over to be buried. After we came back, we slept for a while. When it was dawn, we used the ox cart to pull the coffin filled with tools to steal our destination and dig a hollow earth bag there. This was another busy day. At night, my father, Bro Flattop, and I all wore raincoats and gathered in the grave to plan something big.
"Did you bring everything?" Bro Flattop asked.
His voice became a little low, and he was wearing a raincoat. He no longer looked like a doctor, but like a fugitive.
However, there was no mirror in the tomb, so I couldn't see what I looked like. I didn't think I was any better.
"What else do you need?" I said
I opened the coffin lid and took out everything inside. Other than tools such as shovels and ropes, there was also a pot of gasoline, more than ten bottles of mineral water, a box of instant noodles, a large fully charged battery, an electric fan, and three long knives.
In addition, the most eyesore was the two-meter-long iron sand gun, which was commonly known as the old stupid pile or Chong Zi by the villagers. This thing looked quite scary, but it was not very practical. Not only could it only be fired once at a time, but it also had to be filled with iron sand and gunpowder first. It was used purely to boost one's courage. At the moment, these things were not of any use. Each of us only brought a long knife or dagger to protect ourselves. Then, we continued to dig the grave that we had dug during the day.
Soon we realized that the situation here was a little different from what we had thought. We originally thought that the top of the tomb was below the soil, but when we dug two meters below the soil, we found layers of dense tree roots. They were coiled up like a vine net covering the bottom.
However, this is nothing to us. Now, there was enough time to clean up these roots.
