Suddenly Lao Jiang jumped down the slope, crawled under some weeds in front of him, and then put his ears close to the ground, as if he was listening carefully to something, looking extremely serious.
I chased after him in a decent manner and wanted to ask what was wrong, but Lao Jiang pressed my head to the ground and told me to stop talking and listen together!
I closed my eyes and focused all my attention on the ear that was close to the ground. A sound of 'dong', 'dong' and 'dong' suddenly entered my ears, accompanied by 'chi', 'chi'. "Chi" The sound of shoveling soil.
Could it be?
My eyes lit up, and Lao Jiang nodded to me.
It turned out that the late-night theater troupe was just a cover, and the missing group of elite tomb robbers were actually digging holes under the stage. Thinking about what Dana Lu said when he arranged for us to live next door during the day, I felt that everything made sense. Already...
He told us at that time that if any soldiers came to the village to ask questions, they should tell us that we were distant relatives of this family.
The thing should be like this. It is very likely that this group of tomb robbers entrenched in Sanxing Village has aroused the vigilance of the Guanghan County Magistrate, so the county will send troops to patrol from time to time!
This group of tomb robbers simply broke into pieces and lurked in every house, pretending to be relatives and friends. On the one hand, they could not arouse the alert of the superiors, and on the other hand, they could continue to control Sanxing Village.
But they can't hide in people's homes forever. They still have to rob tombs and find the huge treasure under Sanxing Village!
This group of people chose to go out late at night, but it is relatively quiet at night. If the shovel is used, there will be more noise. There is no guarantee that no one will sue the police. So they continued to deceive people by using the rampant curse in Sanxing Village, and using the excuse that Yan Daocheng's family died tragically and needed salvation, they finally invited a so-called theater troupe to sing a ghost play at the head of the village, in order to trick the villagers into suppressing the evil spirits.
In fact, they just wanted to use the singing voice as a cover to continue digging holes.
In other words, the opera is fake, but the underground tomb robbing operation is real!
The woman on the stage was still singing with high voice, sometimes melodious, sometimes low, sometimes like the roar of dawn, which hurt people's ears.
There was also a burst of sonorous musical instruments, which completely covered up the sound of drilling holes below. Even if someone passed by, they would just stay away from this ghost show!
If Lao Jiang hadn't been observant and witty, I wouldn't have discovered the mystery at all.
He didn't know how to stick to the ground to explore the situation underground, and he didn't even know that there were rats burrowing down there!
At this time, Lao Jiang and I suddenly realized it, but the woman on the stage was still singing enthusiastically. She waved her long sleeves and continued to sing with tears: "Second uncle, second uncle, your heroic spirit is here." Where? I blamed Lü Meng for crossing the river to attack Jingzhou, and you refused to surrender until you were beheaded."
"Third uncle, third uncle, your heroic spirit is far away! A thief was killed in the Chinese army's tent, and the Taoyuan friendship was heartbroken."
Sun Shangxiang sang so miserably on this stage, she cried in the first song: The water is cold, the river is cold, the fish can't jump, the world and the earth are in sorrow and have to pay filial piety!
I even wonder if the best singing actor in Chengdu has been tied up here. Otherwise, the opera style is too straight, how can we tell that he is involved with the tomb robbers?
As Sun Shangxiang finished singing, three more colorful faces suddenly jumped out on the stage.
The three of them seem to be just ordinary actors, but their methods are extremely powerful!
They turn over continuously in the air and change their facial makeup to a different color every time they land. This should be the face-changing skill in Sichuan Opera.
Seeing such neat skills, I almost wanted to applaud them, but I saw Lao Jiang's expression change and he quickly pulled me back to the slope.
After the three people finished showing off their skills, one with a plain face, one with a red face, and one with a dark face stood on the stage with their heads erect, circling around Sun Shangxiang.
Looking at their clothes and the weapons in their hands, I immediately understood that these three people were imitating Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei!
Sun Shangxiang cried with joy, it seemed that it was her sacrifice to Jiang that brought back the souls of these three people.
What a wonderful play!
I was fascinated, but just when I was looking forward to the next scene with concentration, suddenly, Guan Yu on the stage seemed to be beheaded in the air, and the head on his neck actually fell off.
I saw the big red face rolling around on the ground and finally falling down the stage.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the moment he looked at me, the head actually winked at me.
Oh my God, is it alive?
Guan Yu on the stage stretched out his hand to touch his neck and was shocked: "Wow, where is my head? Where is my head?"
He groped around stiffly, and finally faced the audience and found his head. However, at this moment, he suddenly let out a cold smile: "This head was stained by Sun Quan's child. I don't want it anymore. I want that." Head!"
After saying that, he actually pointed his finger at the slope where Lao Jiang and I were hiding.
Did he discover us?
My heart skipped a beat. Just when I was in a hurry, a stone suddenly hit the stage, coming from another direction.
Is there anyone else besides us present?
The three men and one woman on the stage were immediately attracted by the stone. At this time, Lao Jiang grabbed my hand and said, "Quickly!"
Thanks to Lao Jiang's quick reaction, otherwise it would have been too late.
Just after the two of us sneaked down the slope, we heard the woman singing Sun Shangxiang on the stage blowing a strange whistle.
This whistle sound was clearly the sound that ordered the tomb robbers to go out!
Immediately afterwards, the green ghost fire on the stage was extinguished, a bright light rose from under the stage, and a large number of tomb robbers swarmed out.
They fiercely pulled out their knives and not only rushed in the direction where they had just thrown the stones, but also headed towards our slope.
But obviously their attack was in vain. At this time, Lao Jiang and I had quickly fled back to the village.
Along the way, I was curious about one question: who was the person who threw the stones? That person was obviously the same as the person who threw the stones that afternoon.
But wasn't it thrown by the evil spirits of Western Sichuan in the afternoon?
This time it was obviously to attract the attention of the evil spirits in western Sichuan and help us escape.
Who is the other party and why should he help us?
Lao Jiang couldn't answer this question for me. He just told me: "When we came out of Guanghan County, I found someone following us. And this person was so elusive that even I couldn't catch him!"
When I heard this, my eyes widened and I became more and more frightened.
After Lao Jiang and I returned home, we carefully climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, then prepared to go back to the room and tell Ge Weihan and Yin Ling'er what we had discovered today.
However, we never expected that when we turned around, we suddenly bumped into the people in front of us.
The other party is surprisingly the husband of this middle-aged couple!
I saw him holding a kerosene lamp, a face under the lamp that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his two eyes staring at us.
The shadows of the branches were entangled with his shadow, which almost scared me to the point of weakness in my legs!
