Late at night, ancient house, inner house.

It's surprisingly quiet now. I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel a faint mist suddenly popping up in the yard.

I looked back suddenly!

As the firelight shines, a shadow similar to a "human head" is seen floating around on the wall...

Master Yu immediately lowered his head and whispered: "Stop looking, just pretend you didn't see it."

I quickly turned around and pretended to be calm.

No one goes into the temple, no two look at the well.

I thought I had encountered something dirty, and there was an old rope on the beam of the house. Maybe someone had been hanged here decades ago.

When we encounter this situation, our general solution is to pretend that we didn’t see it and do whatever we should do.

Master Yu kept lowering his head and roasting the fire. After almost ten minutes, I couldn't help it anymore, so I peeked at the wall from the corner of my eyes.

There is still a "human head" shadow on the wall.

Unlike before, now this person's head seems to have grown long strands of hair.

My heart was beating to my throat, and I silently recited the mantra of rebirth over and over again in my heart.

"Oh? Something is wrong!!"

Master Yu seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly got up and blocked the fire directly in front of the fire.

The next second, the "human ghost" on the wall suddenly disappeared.

Master Yu dodged away and the head appeared on the wall again!

I ran to the door for a check and found that there was a big ragged black plastic bag hanging on the door!

The shadow of the human head is this plastic bag! When the wind blows, it floats back and forth.

"Damn! I'm scared to death! It turns out it's this thing! Master Yu! I just thought I was a ghost!"

Master Yu pointed to the wall and said, "That wall is a bit strange. Have you noticed it?"

"No, right? What's so strange?"

Master Yu frowned and said, "The wall tiles look a little new."

After saying that, he walked over and knocked the stick twice.

I said in surprise: "Hollow wall?"

"How could this be? This is the main house, how could it be used with a hollow wall!"

"You get up."

Master Yu called me to retreat. He wrapped his fist with a cloth strip, took a step back, and then punched him hard on the wall!

Suddenly, a black hole appeared on the entire wall!

When the dust dissipated, I shone the hole with a flashlight and was startled!

Behind the wall, there was a raised loess bun!

There was also a large stone tablet about two meters high in front of the landblock!

Master Yu punched two more times, widening the hole in the wall, and then we stepped over.

"Boy! This...whose grave is this?"

I frowned and looked around, nodded and said, "It's a grave! At least it was a grave from the early Qing Dynasty! It's been a few hundred years!"

A layer of dust fell on the stone tablet. I wiped it with my hands and saw a row of small regular script characters.

The left side reads: "Yi Shi Ming died young and old."

The right side reads: "Half-way happiness and longevity are not fulfilled."

A large number of lotus patterns are carved in the middle of the stone tablet, and dense words are carved under the lotus.

This kind of inscription inscriptions in the Ming and Qing dynasties was not divided into sections, and there were no punctuation marks at that time. Often, a bunch of fly-headed small calligraphy was written, which made people's head hurt.

I held my mobile phone and looked at it for a long time, and finally caught several keywords in the inscription.

"A great scholar, a scholar-in-law, Huang Helin."

This is something that most people can't understand, but it's not difficult for me.

A Confucian is a scholar. The word "big" is added to the front, which refers to an old scholar. He has been reading books for at least thirty years.

The four words "Sui Xiu Zhilang" must be understood separately. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, only if the "county magistrate" died would be called "Sui". He specially added the word "Sui" before, indicating that this position was bought by the owner after his death.

At that time, the imperial court and local governments advocated the deceased's various honorary titles, because the person was dead and did not occupy any resources. The government could not only get a sum of silver, but also fully possess the filial piety of the family members. Some women also bought the titles, for example, some tombstones were found to have "Mrs. Annual Imperial Madam" written on them.

At this time, Master Yu asked in confusion: "There must be someone living here before. How could they build the grave in their own house?"

I suddenly realized and slapped my thighs suddenly!

"I understand! This is the former stele house!"

"Monument House?"

"Yes! Only the Tuzhai people in Hubei have this old custom!"

"The old man in the family is dead! Build the grave in the house! Live with his children! This symbolizes that death is like life!"

"Then why hide it with a wall?" Master Yu asked curiously.

I frowned and thought for a while, and analyzed: "From the aging degree of wall bricks, we calculated the time. This place should have been blocked in the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, we beat the landlords every day, like a Buddha statue! Stone tablet! The ancestral hall! They were all smashed when they were caught!"

"I calculated that this family was afraid of being smashed at that time! That was why they hid the place with a wall! I just don't know why this family had never been here later!"

"It's a miracle that I have been on the roadside for so many years and have been able to preserve it to this day, Master Yu!"

I quickly walked to the grave and pointed at it, "This kind of grave is buried shallowly, and you can dig it down for more than two meters, and you can see the coffin 100%!"

"Master Yu, please wait for me here for two minutes. There is a shovel in the car! I'll get it!"

"Boy, it's a bad thing for you to dig someone's ancestral graves so rashly, right?"

"There is nothing wrong, Master Yu, this is the fate between me and my master! Besides, if I were afraid of this and that, I wouldn't do this at the beginning!"

The tombs in Ming and Qing dynasties were usually poor, and we touched very little, but why did I suddenly want to move this tomb?

Because there is a rule for the stele house and tomb.

In the past, during the Chinese New Year, their descendants would dig up graves and worship at home. Those who had no money would throw some porcelain wine cups, porcelain bowls and other daily necessities into them. The wealthy households would throw silver dollars, silver ingots, gold bracelets, silver rings and other valuable items into them. The accumulated amounts of them will accumulate over time.

The person buried in the tomb was named Huang Helin, a person in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Think about it, his descendants could spend money to buy him a county magistrate position and build such a large stone tablet, so he must have money!

I didn’t expect that I could encounter a tomb on my way, which is called “tomb fate”.

I thought to myself: "The thief doesn't leave, Mr. Huang, since I'm hitting him, you will suffer a lot."

I took it as a shovel, and I took a sip of smoke to refresh myself, and then digged directly.

This kind of earth pit has no even a tomb underneath, and it is simply a small k-screw to me.

It quickly went down one and a half meters. As I expected, the first piece of "chicken coop silver ingots" was found in the soil, with a large number of them, dozens of dollars.

The chicken coop silver ingot is the kind of privately cast silver ingots containing impurities in the past. It is shaped like an old hen coop. It is of average quality and is not very valuable. It costs about one thousand yuan per yuan. These can be sold for 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in total.

As I dug, some silver dollars were found. It was not Yuan Datou, but the kind of silver dollars with dragon patterns on the back. This one was much more expensive than the big one.

I carefully picked out these small things and dug them down dozens of centimeters, and suddenly a black coffin appeared in the soil.

There was an iron nail on the coffin, and I kicked it twice, and I wanted to kick open the lid of the coffin.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a stranger suddenly heard the sound of a stranger talking outside, and he could hear it very clearly.

"Yanan, it's raining too much. Fortunately, we found a place, so let's hide here."

It was almost two o'clock in the middle of the night.
