The next day, they came to this wasteland with the drawings, and under the guidance of Lao Wu, they found the exact location of the stele workshop.
The stele has long since ceased to exist, leaving only two faintly visible cement stone piers on the ground.
From the distance between the stone piers, Qi Lu roughly deduces that this stele is at least three meters high, which is enough to show that the village was relatively rich and populous in the past.
The three of them walked in the direction of the ancient house marked in the drawings according to the location of the stone pier, and after less than fifty meters of progress, Qi Lu showed a smile, stopped and said to the two: "The house is estimated to be here." ” Lao Wu looked around, nodded and said, "Well, it should be in this area." ” Ding Xiaolan asked curiously: "Yesterday I said that it was difficult to find a location, why did I become so confident today?"
"Xiao Ding, come and see."
Lao Wu said with a smile: "This place is the best location to choose the foundation of the residence.
This surnamed Xu is a wealthy family in the village, and such a treasure of feng shui, of course he wants to seize it for himself. ” Qi Lu also said: "Build a house here, there is flowing water on the left that does not rot, there is a flat long road on the right, there is a half-moon pond in front, and there are continuous hills in the back. ” "Let's split up and see who finds the site of the well first."
Lao Wu untied the rope that tied the sack, took out three small hoes that were more than half a meter long, divided one for each person, and got busy.
After a while, Qi Lu was the first to find the location of the well, and he hurriedly beckoned Lao Wu and Ding Xiaolan to come and inspect.
Lao Wu saw that the place where Qi Lu was standing was surrounded by jet-black soil, but under his feet was a muddy ground mixed with gravel and fine sand.
He tentatively dug with his hoe a few times, and saw that more gravel was exposed from the ground, so he scooped around the dirt again, and found that the edge of the combination of earth and stone and sand formed a complete circle, the diameter of which was exactly the size of an ordinary well.
"Can't be wrong, this is it."
Lao Wu hurriedly measured the distance from the stele to the well, and then compared it to the drawing, and said: "Five meters to the northeast is the location of the ancient house. ” The three of them hurried to the place, and found that the masonry was outcropping from the ground beneath their feet, and it was obvious that this was the remains of a deserted house.
But Qi Lu was not happy at all, but frowned.
"It is indeed a rich family's house, but it covers an area of more than 200 square meters, even if there are things buried underground, how can we find them, we can't ask a group of temporary workers to turn it all over here."
"It's okay, I have a way to deal with it."
Lao Wu actually took out a Luoyang shovel from the sack.
"Why, you want to extract the soil from the ground to determine the location of the treasure" "Well, that's the most straightforward way."
Lao Wu said: "Don't be idle, there is still a shovel in the bag, you can also work for me." ” Qi Lu said disappreciably: "Come on, in broad daylight, you dare to openly use the Luoyang shovel to explore the treasure, and anyone who comes can twist us as tomb robbers and send us to the police station." ” "What are you afraid of, it's just a big deal to let Liu Chenfei nag a few more words."
Lao Wu said fiercely, but the man had already put the shovel into the bag.
"Why don't we come back in the evening, so no one will find out what we're doing."
Before Qi Lu could reply, he heard someone yelling at them fiercely.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?"
The three of them were suddenly startled, and when they raised their eyes to see a middle-aged man walking towards them, Qi Lu hurriedly motioned to Lao Wu to put away the sack.
"Master, let's just hang out."
As he spoke, Qi Lu saw that this person's eyes were small but wide open, and he knew that he was a shrewd person.
The middle-aged man said angrily: "It's okay to come here to hang out, you really have leisure." ” Qi Lu saw that he was constantly looking at himself, so he knew that he was figuring out his intentions, so he hurriedly handed him a cigarette and said with a smile: "Master, your surname."
"My surname is Xu, you" The middle-aged man took the cigarette in his hand, but the hesitation in his eyes never disappeared.
Why is it another surnamed Xu, Qi Lu couldn't help but be stunned.
After chatting with him for a few words, Qi Lu learned that his name was Xu Jie, and he was about to ask where he came from, only to hear Xu Jie repeat the old words: "What are you doing here?"
"What's the matter with you, you're not a policeman, what are you doing so much" Ding Xiaolan was impatient and robbed him of a sentence.
"It's none of my business," Xu Jie snorted coldly, "This land has been contracted by me." ” "Ah, it turns out that Master Xu is the boss, disrespectful, disrespectful, are you going to build a tall building here" Qi Lu hurriedly hinted to Ding Xiaolan not to talk too much.
"Huh."
Xu Jie laughed, "How can I have this ability, but I just want to dig a fish pond to make a little money." ” Lao Wu glanced at Qi Lu meaningfully, and Qi Lu suddenly realized, knowing that if this guy dug the fish pond, then there would be no secrets under the ground.
In a hurry, he thought of a good idea for Qi Lu, but he said quietly on the surface: "Master Xu really has a vision, I don't know when you will dig the fish pond."
"It's going to be the end of the year at the earliest.
Hey, I said what are you doing here, do you want to raise fish too?"
"Hehe, of course not."
Qi Lu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "We are a few astronomy enthusiasts who came here to survey the terrain. ” As soon as these words came out, Lao Wu and Ding Xiaolan were staring at each other, and they couldn't guess what Qi Lu was thinking, Xu Jie was also confused, and he asked suspiciously: "Doing astronomy should be looking at the sky, you have a fart for surveying the terrain."
Qi Lu replied with a smile: "The view here is wide, and there are no buildings to obstruct it, so it is very suitable for stargazing with astronomical telescopes at night." ” "You really know how to pick a place, by the way, what is in your bag" Xu Jie was very shrewd and didn't believe what Qi Lu said at all.
"Nothing, it's all astronomical equipment."
Qi Lu hurriedly covered up and said, "Master Xu won't tell you, I'm going to set up a tent here these few nights, and I'm going to observe the stars all night." ” "You still want to camp, let's go, you're not welcome here."
Xu Jie gave an eviction order with a straight face.
Qi Lu hurriedly squeezed his eyebrows at Ding Xiaolan, Ding Xiaolan was slightly stunned and understood what he meant, so he took out a few hundred yuan from his wallet and stuffed it into Xu Jie's hand.
"It's a little meaning, Master Xu, you can make it convenient."

Xu Jie pretended to push and unceremoniously put the money in his pocket, and his tone eased a lot.
"Mr.
Qi, I'm all for your good.
It's not that I'm trying to drive you away, this place is evil, and you can't stay here at night. ” Seeing that there was a loosening meaning between his words, Qi Lu was not in a hurry, he lit a cigarette and handed Xu Jie another one and asked, "Why, isn't it safe at night?"
"You're young and don't know the origin of this place, so don't blame me for startling you."
"I've heard people say that it used to be a village, but then it was demolished."
"The land under our feet used to be called Xujia Village, but the older generation called it White Bone Village.
Do you know why, because this is a deserted village filled with dead people's bones. ” "Ah, is it so scary?"
"My father used to be a villager here, so he knows everything about the situation in the village."
Xu Jie said while smoking: "In the 60s of the last century, many people died inexplicably in Xujia Village, and some even the whole family died overnight, and the bodies were buried on the spot before they had time to be sent to the cemetery. ” Qi Lu asked in surprise: "It's not that exaggerated, there is no time to bury the body, and it is buried in the village, so who else dares to live here" "Of course, no one dared to stay, and after that tragedy, the whole village was relocated by the government to Clear Water Bay."
Xu Jie pretended to be mysterious and said: "You don't know yet, the place where you are standing now used to be the commune canteen, and the body is buried under it." ” "Ah" Ding Xiaolan was so frightened that she hurriedly ran to the side and didn't dare to come over again.
"At first, I thought it was a story that my dead father made up after he got drunk, until I saw it one day and realized that what he said was true."
Xu Jie pointed to the highway in front of him and said, "See, did the highway turn a corner in our place?"
Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, so he replied with a smile: "You don't mean that the road was originally going to pass through the village, and then it was rerouted like this."
"Hehe, you're pretty smart."
Xu Jie took a puff of cigarette and said: "In the 90s, when the city was expanding and repairing the highway, the original plan was to pass through your current place, but when the construction team used a bulldozer to push it, it launched several corpses, and when all the bones were dug up, it was enough to load a truck."
Hearing this, Qi Lu was relieved, and he immediately understood that these bones were the remains of the villagers who were poisoned in the water pollution incident.
Seeing Qi Lu's indifferent look, Xu Jie pretended to be mysterious and said, "There are even more strange things." ” "There are strange things," Qi Lu couldn't help but be curious.
"When the construction team was digging up the bones, I watched the excitement from the side, and the result was that I was scared half to death."
As he spoke, Xu Jie's face couldn't help but darken a little, "A hole was dug in this place, originally this hole was only the size of a water tank, but it suddenly collapsed into a hole the size of a bedroom, and the bulldozer almost fell into it." ” "It's normal for the ground to collapse."
Qi Lu was disappointed, thinking that he was going to tell a ghost story.
"The weird ones are in the back.
At that time, everyone gathered around the entrance of the cave to watch the excitement, and suddenly there was a loud noise inside, followed by a thick smoke rushing out of the cave like a black dragon.
You didn't know that you didn't know that the situation was followed by the ghost door closing everywhere with the screams of ghosts crying and wolves.
Frightened, everyone dispersed in a hurry, and only gathered when the smoke was gone. ” "What happened next?"
Later, people said that it was because there was no sacrifice to the gods before the start of construction, so it angered the Lord of Yama, so he sent black and white impermanence out to hook his life.
At that time, people were panicking, and the construction team didn't dare to go on strike.
In the end, the government was also afraid of safety accidents, so the exhumed bones were transported to the cemetery for burial, and the road was rerouted because of this incident. ” Qi Lu hurriedly asked: "So, I'm standing on top of that strange hole now."
"Of course, even after 20 years, my memory is good."
An imperceptible smile swept from the corner of Qi Lu's mouth, because Xu Jie had inadvertently revealed important clues to him. i0 t1706231537:
