Chapter 161
"It's time to work, it's time to work!"
With two clangs of gongs, the laborers squatting in the grass put down the tea bowls and dry food in their hands and stood up, picked up the hoe and earth basket, and walked towards the soil slope not far away.
The laborers walked to the half-man-wide deep hole dug by the side of the soil slope, and were about to move the shovel again, but they almost shouted: "Don't dig this!" They pointed to a wooden pole that was inserted several meters away, "Go to dig."
The laborers were making a noise.
"Set up the ground again?"
"What the hell is this doing?"
"Didn't you tell us to dilute the river? How can we dig holes in the big wasteland?"
...
The coward said, "Don't be too long-winded, hurry up and dig. This is something that County Magistrate Zhang has given me a lot of instructions to do! He has just taken office and has done it well, and you will have your reward! Do you know who is sitting in the county government now? Lord Prefect! The imperial envoy sent by the Empress Dowager! Two ministers! If you don't work under the noses of these adults, you will wait in the future!"
The laborers carried the guy to the wooden pole, but saw a circle sprinkling with white ash powder on the ground. They almost pulled out the wooden pole and tapped the ground: "Just this part, dig down!"
The laborers rolled up their sleeves and started to move, and almost took out a piece of paper from their arms, looked at the sun, and then went to the distance. The man in his 100th century whispered, "Hey, what are we digging? I have dug five or six holes in this field in the past two days."
Another man said, "The adults said, let's just dig the river."
Everyone laughed and the man who had been aged a year said, "It's more than a mile away from the river. How big the water does it take to spread here. When it comes, there are only a few holes that can't drain the flood."
An old man said in an insult, "Maybe it is a formation. Didn't it mean that the new Lord Zhang can do magic? I saw that the man kept holding a piece of paper and asked us to dig according to the drawing above. It might be a formation diagram. When the hole is dug and put it in a big stone, the formation will be completed, and our county will never be flooded."
Everyone burst into laughter again.
Another young man said, "Maybe our new magistrate is the God-Star of the Rat. Recently, our county not only has supernatural beings, but also digs holes. The top of the mountain is dug, where the well where grandma shows her spirits is dug, and here is also dug."
Everyone hurriedly said, "Be careful, be careful, be careful."
The black man walked over with a wooden pole and everyone was silent and digging the soil. The sun gradually turned west and the soil pit gradually became deeper. The black man walked towards another open space with paper, holding the pole and gestured in the light.
Two men raised a basket full of soil from the pit, poured it onto a gradually higher mound of soil, glanced at the direction of the missed head, and jumped into the pit.
"My father is plugging the pole again. I wonder if I have to dig another hole to get off work today."
A short-mouthed man couldn't help but whisper: "Are we digging an old grave with treasures..."
Suddenly someone hit him an elbow, and another old man said slowly: "It seems that this pit has been dug in vain again."
Everyone continued to wave the shovel, and they almost walked back to the edge of the pit, leaned down and looked down: "Stay."
Everyone stopped as they said, and inserted the shovels in their hands into the soil to wipe their sweat and wait.
The kid looked in the pit carefully: "Come up first, rest for a while before doing it."
Everyone was about to take the guy out of the pit, and a young man suddenly paused down the shovel in his hand: "Wait a minute!"
The shovel pierced into the soil and hit something hard and flat.
The boy digged quickly, and a corner of gray was revealed.
“There is a slate underneath!”
The soil was covered and the square stone slab was lying flat in the setting sun. Two or three men blew the remaining floating soil on the blowing board and wiped it with their sleeves. A mountain pattern outlined by several lines appeared in the middle of the stone slab, and there was also a flowing water-like pattern at the foot of the mountain.
The father shouted to return to the county government to report the news with joy. Everyone dialed the soil around the stone slab and exposed a round white stone. The father grabbed the white stone and turned it. With a click, several laborers inserted the iron shovel into the edge of the stone slab and pried it hard. The stone slab slowly raised, revealing a dark hole, and a tongue-like earth ladder leading to the depths of the darkness.
Everyone was filled with excitement, and the man said to the cop: "Sir, I think you have to go down first to find out what other monsters are there."
The person rubbed his hands and thought for a moment, nodded, and after he was relieved, he ordered a thin and lean man to tie a rope around his waist and go inside first. After a long time, a vague exclaim came from the hole.
Everyone who was squatting at the entrance of the cave was shocked and looked down. After a moment, the man's surprise shout came from the bottom of the entrance of the cave: "Hurry! Get up a few more people, there are things underneath!"
The man immediately raised his hand and pointed four people waiting outside the pit, climbed down first, and the rest of the laborers followed.
Suddenly, another series of exclamations came from the cave. The four people guarding the entrance of the cave couldn't help but stretched their necks and looked down. The backs suddenly became slightly numb. Before they could turn around, their eyes turned completely black.
A figure wrapped in black cloth flew to the edge of the cave entrance and gently slashed down the stone steps.
The laborers' discussions were filled with fragments. The man in black took out a red ball and stuffed it into his mouth and nose, covered his mouth and nose with a black towel. After walking several steps, he lit a black grass ball and turned forward.
After walking for a while, a light appeared in front of him. Two unconscious laborers were erected next to the burning torches on the ground. Behind the two were a door. The man each popped two hidden weapons to each other. He confirmed that the two men had not moved. He just rushed into the door and another smoked grass ball popped up.
Suddenly, he stopped.
The light smoke spreads out in front of you, nothing is left.
Nothing, no one.
There is only one light.
The golden sunset shone in from the entrance of the cave above, and a person slowly walked down the earth staircase that was exactly the same as the entrance of the cave where he came in.
"Why didn't Abbot Jingqing practice Taoism in observing and walk here?"
He pulled down the masked cloth towel and smiled slightly: "The government office is busy, so why is Mr. Xie free to come out to relax?"
