"It really doesn't sound like it!" I said.
Then, he could not help but sigh at the lack of talent in the village. There was not even a single person to farm.
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly felt a little humiliated. If others can't do it, am I a qualified grave robber? Didn't I also choose this path by chance?
It seemed that his father was right, no one was chosen by the heavens, everyone was chosen.
So I lowered my standards and went through the people I knew in my mind. Finally, I said,
"Why don't we get Tong Kui, who teaches mathematics in school! This person looked decent, and his family was quite poor. He could be considered to be helping him.”
This time, my father and Bro Flattop didn't object. Instead, they sighed, making me feel a little inexplicable.
My nomination was considered to have passed, so I asked Bro Flattop to be nominated, but Bro Flattop said not to mention it for now.
He seemed to be keeping her in suspense and only said,
"I know someone who has the ability to shop, but I haven't encountered any big trouble yet, so I won't look for him for now.”
I asked Bro Flattop who that person was, but the doctor kept mum. I didn't ask any more questions, and the meeting ended.
The next day, I went to my aunt's house and invited her over. I asked my father to discuss this matter with them in detail. Then, I went to the Tongkui family in the village to look for Tongkui.
Tongkui was my junior high school classmate. He lost his father when he was young and was raised by his mother alone, so he was sensible since he was young and was very good at his studies. We both went to college, but he was different from me. I couldn't get into a second-tier university, so I went to a junior college. He could get into a second-tier university, but because the model school was free of tuition and included distribution, he took the model school to reduce the burden on his family. After graduation, he became a math teacher in the village.
This was quite in line with his introverted and melancholic personality.
But our school is too poor, and the salary is low. Life is very hard.
I came to the Tongkui family.
Tong Kui's house was located in the middle of the village. There was no wall around the yard. It was like a vegetable garden, surrounded by dead branches in front of the door. At that time, his mother was holding a bunch of wild vegetables that she had picked outside to make lunch, while Tong Kui was squatting at the door with a broken aluminum, thinking about how to block the small hole in the bottom of the pot.
We were usually very familiar with each other. When he saw me coming, he was not so polite.
He seemed to be helpless with the broken pot. He looked at the pot and sighed,
"You said that it was a pretty good pot. Why can't it be used because of a small hole?”
"You read so many books? It can't even mend the bottom of the pot." I said.
"I've racked my brains, but I still can't think of a way to block him with the materials in my hands.”
he said. He got up to pour me a cup of water, but saw that the tea bottle was empty. He returned the pot to his mother and said,
"Use paste to block it and boil some hot water first. When I get my salary at the end of the month, I'll get you a new pot bottom.”
I told her that I wasn't thirsty and asked her to continue cooking. Then, I started talking about business with her.
I had wondered how he would react to my invitation. He might refuse, he might hesitate, or he might accept.
In the end, I didn't expect him to be so touched that tears were about to come out of his eyes. He didn't know what to do for a moment. He picked up the empty tea bottle and poured me some water. When he saw that there was no water in the bottle, he smiled.
His reaction didn't make me look down on him.
I knew he was not a greedy person, but poverty was too powerful and suffocating.
Finally, I said to him,
" Stay at home and prepare well. Take half a month's leave. We'll take action tomorrow night."
Then, she left his house.
The next afternoon, Biaozi came to our house on a motorcycle. He hadn't changed in a few months, except that he had grown fatter than before. His hair was gelled and neat like a dog's lick. He was not only wearing a suit but also a tie. I don't have a good impression of him.
Fortunately, he was more tactful. He gave me a cigarette the moment he saw me and said,
"Brother! I'll follow you this time! I don't ask for anything else, as long as I don't have to worry about refilling my motorcycle!”
"As long as we cooperate sincerely and get things done, it's not a problem to buy a new car.”I said.
When the sky was about to turn dark, Tongkui also came over in high spirits. Seeing that everyone was here, we introduced ourselves to each other. After dinner, we changed our clothes, put on our equipment, and set off again.
In order to prevent the air in the lower level of the tomb from not circulating, we specially moved a small diesel engine and a water pump over this time, so that it can continuously send fresh air to the underground through the water pipe. At the same time, in order to prevent the sound of the machine from causing unnecessary trouble, we buried the machine in the ground after we arrived, so the sound was much lower.
This was the first time Biaozi and Tongkui had entered the tomb. The scene in front of them was very novel. Tong Kui looked at the bronze coffin and clicked his tongue in wonder. Biao Zi was very interested in this wide tomb and said,
"This house is not bad! How beautiful would it be to install a ladder and transform it into an underground casino?”
I was stunned and thought, Why is this guy like my father? I quickly said,
"Playing mahjong in a dead person's tomb, how unlucky.”
Soon, we will be going down to the second level to carry out a large-scale sweep. I am not very sure about the situation inside. In order to prevent them from causing trouble, I will give them a vaccine.
"There is a very powerful monster inside. Everyone must be vigilant after going down. Listen to Bro Flattop's arrangements and don't act on your own. We are only going down to seek wealth. After we get the wealth, we should evacuate as soon as possible. No one should cause trouble.”
The two of them immediately became serious after hearing my words. Then, we prepared to go down.
We first nailed an iron pin into the ground and tied it with a rope as a basis for us to go down. A few days ago, we saw that the rice dumpling was torn into two halves after going down. We didn't dare to be careless and tied a miner's lamp down as a test before going down. The mine light immediately lit up the surroundings. As expected, in less than ten seconds, a black shadow flashed past and shattered my mine light with a slap. The area below immediately fell into darkness.
Bro Flattop and I had expected this, while Tong Kui and Biao Zi were quite frightened.
Tong Kui asked three questions and said with a trembling voice,
"What is this? Why was there something underground? Could it be a ghost?"
I saw that he was so scared, so I comforted him.
"It's fine! This thing likes to hide in the dark and play tricks. It looks scary. When you go down and fight it face to face, you won't be afraid of anything.”
But Tong Kui was still afraid. There was a disadvantage to people who had studied. It was easy to scare themselves if they thought too much. He said,
"I wouldn't be afraid of animals. But why would there be animals in this tomb? If it was an animal, what did it eat inside? What do you want to drink?"
"Eat your meat! Drink your blood! Alright!" I said angrily,
"You're not its mother. Who cares what it eats and drinks? Think about what you want to eat and drink first.”
Only then did Tong Kui stop talking. But just as I stabilized Tongkui, Biaozi was also a little shaken. He scratched his head and said.
"Aiyo! What the f * ck was he stealing for? I saw that thing was as big as a cow. If this continued, it wouldn't be stealing treasures, it would be suicide!”
After saying that, he looked at the watch on his wrist and said,
"Alright! It's getting late. I have to go home and sleep!
Then, he turned around and was about to leave. I saw that he wanted to escape, so I quickly pulled him back and said,
"Biaozi, that's it? Speaking of which, you're also in society. Is this all you've got? Didn't he say that he wanted to earn money to refuel his motorcycle today? Now that they had encountered such a small difficulty, they had to retreat.”
Biao Zi said,
"The key is that thing is too big. I'm afraid we can't beat it!”
"The fat on your body is not weak either! Besides, don't you have a knife with you? There are a lot of good things down there. Follow us down and kill that thing. This matter won't be long!”
Biaozi immediately became spirited when he heard me say this. He held his knife horizontally and prepared to go down.
