Chapter 61 Locals
I saw that this was a group of people wearing distinctive ethnic costumes, and it seemed that they were locals.
Everyone did not want to have conflicts with these locals, so Lao Yang quickly stood up and pretended to be very sincere and said, "Everyone - fellow villagers, brothers and sisters, we are tourists from other places. I want to go to the village opposite the mountain, ask, and go to the village in front, how many roads are there in front of the village?"
One of the women in a red coat said, "Are you talking about our village? You are so far away, what do you want to do when you come to our dilapidated place?"
When everyone saw that the local women were quite alert. I thought that tomb robbers have been active too frequently recently and offended all the local people to death.
Wu Xie quickly took a guise and said kindly: "That's right, we want to come over to find someone. I have been here in your village two years ago. An old man warmly received me. This time we came back to visit him. We haven't been here for two years and have forgotten how we walked."
The middle-aged woman glared at everyone, spat with thick phlegm and cursed: "Bah! You are the only ones who are thieves, who knows what you are doing? We have seen so many people like you, either come to dig graves or poaching. If you want to cheat me, you are not enough!"
Everyone was immediately angry when she was so angry that she was scolded by her bloody curse.
In addition to Lao Yang's appearance, their Sha Tao team is also quite sunny and handsome.
As a result, when the middle-aged women now have become the image of a thief-headed and rat-headed person, they are speechless.
Lao Yi was so angry that he quickly took out a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet and wanted to go up and argue with the woman, but was stopped by Chen Hao beside him.
"You are not very speaking, let me do it!"
After Chen Hao finished speaking, he ignored Lao Yang's wallet and took out a stack of 100-dollar bills, took it in front of the middle-aged woman and shook it, then said:
"Everyone, when we first arrived in Guidi, we didn't know the way. If you can provide us with a place and food now and take us to the village, the money will be yours!"
In his opinion, these people were so vigilant that it was impossible to ask any clues from them. Maybe they would even be treated as tomb robbers and called the police to arrest them directly.
That's why he took out some money and put the most real interests in front of them so that they could speak well.
As expected, the locals immediately lit their eyes when they saw the stack of hundred-dollar bills in his hand.
A middle-aged man behind the woman quickly walked up to take the money, and then smiled and said, "Everyone, don't be angry, don't be angry! My wife is joking with you. We are willing to lead you. Not far away, there is a temporary shack we built, with dried meat, firewood, and stoves. You can go there for a night to rest. After we finish picking up pig grass, we will take you back to the village."
"Well, okay, then we'll go and rest first. You can lead us tomorrow!" Chen Hao nodded with a smile.
The locals also smiled and nodded, saying that they would be back in a few hours.
Lao Yang said dissatisfiedly: "I said to Captain, they made money too easy, right? Isn't it just to lead a way and provide a shack, and they made me more than 1,000 in one go?"
Chen Hao: "These people are very vigilant and may regard us as tomb robbers. If you don't give him enough benefits, they will never pay attention to us."
Wuxie also nodded and said, "Yes, it's already very cost-effective to use this money to solve our urgent needs now. You kid are too stingy, isn't it just over 1,000 yuan?"
After hearing what the two of them said, Lao Yang had to give up. Everyone carried their equipment to the shack.
The shack is relatively simple. There is a circle of guardrails surrounded by bamboo, which are divided into two layers. There is no furniture inside, only some firewood and food, as well as a stove. There are a few wooden boards on the ground, which can be used to sleep.
Everyone was already exhausted in the primitive jungle. They quickly took out the smokeless stove, cooked some canned beef and noodles, and started eating.
Lao Yang felt sorry for his more than 1,000 yuan. Seeing a few skewers of bacon hanging on the bamboo pole outside, he took it down without hesitation, threw it into a smokeless stove and cooked it, saying that he wanted to eat some.
Everyone was tired and had a hard meal. After eating, they fell to bed. In less than a few minutes, they started to snore. Chen Hao was in the best condition and he was responsible for the night watch.
After waiting for a few hours, it was already 7:00 in the evening, and the locals returned to the shack with bundles of pig grass.
Chen Hao greeted them, and the middle-aged man who had been before came over, handed him a cigarette, and started chatting with him.
After some chatting, I learned that the middle-aged man was the secretary of their village. The village was too backward, and the young people went to work in other places, and no one did the farm work, so they had to do the farm work like these older people.
Chen Hao took a look at the big bundles of pig grass. Each bundle weighed at least forty or fifty kilograms. Carrying such a heavy thing, he walked more than ten miles back to the village. Thinking about it, these villagers still have a hard time.
After chatting for a few minutes, the man returned to the shack below to rest.
Chen Hao stayed outside the shack until 3:00 in the middle of the night. Lao Yang suddenly woke up and leaned into his ear and whispered: "Last time when Lao Chou and I came out, I saw him - he got up in the middle of the night and buried something. Our situation was too bad at that time, and I didn't have the energy to care about it. The place was not far from here, why don't we dig it out and take a look?"
When Chen Hao heard this, he became interested. He wanted to see what the old cousin had buried, was it an underworld weapon or something?
The two hit it off and quietly got down the shack, then searched nearby. Soon Lao Yi's face turned upright and said that he had found a place.
Lao Yang pointed to a tree and said, "It's just here."
Chen Hao looked over there and saw some gaps on the tree, as if the bark had been peeled off and has not healed yet.
Lao Yang told him that this was the mark he left behind back then.
The two of them came to the bottom of the big tree. Lao Yang immediately took out the engineer shovel and dug it carefully. After digging for a few times, he carefully listened to the movement so as not to disturb the villagers in the shack.
After digging for about half an hour, a crisp sound of "Clang!" suddenly came from the shovel, as if he had encountered some metal object.
