Chapter 221 Carrion
According to legend, the surname Li in their Happiness Village comes from Li Zicheng, and he lived in seclusion here to avoid disasters.
Li Youqian didn't know that this news had been circulated for hundreds of years. He believed it when he was young, but when he grew up, he was only deeply suspicious of this legend, because according to some experts' research, Li Zicheng, the King of Chuang, actually had no descendants, so the rumors that the Li surname of their Happy Village came from the King of Chuang, were self-defeating.
However, even so, some old people in the village insisted that they were descendants of the Chuang King and would go to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors, Li Zicheng, the King of Chuang King.
Li Youqian vaguely remembered that there were rumors that the tombs of the descendants of Chuang were built in Xingfu Village. Because of this rumor, a scientific expedition team actually came to their Xingfu Village for a while, but it turned out that the rumors were false. Now, the land suddenly collapsed into a large pit, revealing the pits underneath that seemed to be tombs, which made him echo these legends again.
"Is this true?" Li Youqian murmured softly, because as far as he knew, all the villagers were buried in the cemetery in Xishan after their death. It was never said that who would be buried elsewhere, except for one person, who was the legendary ancestor of their Li family, the descendant of the rebellion queen.
"If you have money, I'll take someone over to see it first." Li Defa couldn't help but want to solve the mystery. He had to go over and see if the truth was like the rumor.
"Defabo, let me go with you." The injured worker's legs were no longer seriously damaged after being scrubbed by Li Youqian with the diluted birth-enhancing liquid, so Li Youqian was not going to stay here either.
"Boss Wu, you might as well wait here for a while. You can pay for the hospitalization fee first. I will return it to you as much as possible. I will have other things to do when I go out." Li Youqian said to Wu Sheng.
"Okay, you go, it's enough to have a few of us here." Wu Sheng was not the kind of unreasonable person. He could feel the solemnity between Li Youqian's expression.
Besides, through cooperation these days, Wu Sheng found that Li Youqian was still very good, and the injury of the worker was normal during the construction process. Li Youqian said he was willing to compensate for medical expenses, so what else should he worry about?
"Yuhe, you guys are staying at home. I'll go out to see you with Youqian." After Li Defa said that, he left home with Li Youqian and walked towards the land where something happened. Although Li Yuhe also wanted to go and see, she had to give up when she thought about staying at home to watch the house.
When they got there, villagers had already arrived and heard the news and whispered around the excavator that fell into the pit, as if they were talking about something.
"Village Chief, here you are." Someone saw Li Defa and immediately woke everyone up.
When everyone saw Li Defa and Li Youqian together, they immediately stopped talking and wanted to see how Li Youqian was preparing to deal with this sudden incident. After all, many people in the village knew that this piece of land was rented by Li Youqian.
"Everyone leaned to the side, otherwise if a second collapse occurred later, it would be very likely to endanger everyone's safety." As soon as Li Youqian came, he quickly urged everyone to stay away from the big pit, and he himself walked to the edge of the big pit and looked down.
When Li Youqian came for the first time, he focused on the injured worker, so he just glanced at this side. This time he came specifically for this big pit, so he naturally observed carefully.
Looking from the top down, Li Youqian estimated that the pit was about four or five meters high, and there were some decayed wood upside down in the pit. However, because it was covered by a lot of soil, Li Youqian did not find anything valuable except these woods.
"Uncle Changgui, do you have a long hemp rope in your house? Lend me one for it and bring a small shovel by the way." Li Youqian asked a villager standing under the big tree.
"Yes, you wait, I'll take it for you now." Li Changgui responded and trotted towards his house.
Li Changgui's house was relatively close, so within a few minutes he came back with a hemp rope about ten meters long.
"You are rich, this is a rope and a shovel." Li Changgui walked into the pit and placed the things next to Li Youqian.
"Defa Bo, Uncle Changgui, and Uncle Jincai, please help me pull the rope for a while and I'll go down to the ground to take a look." Li Youqian knew that he couldn't find anything on the ground, so he thought about going down to the pit to take a look.
"Youqian, I think it's better to find someone to dig out the soil next to you first. It's too dangerous for you to continue like this." Li Defa said with a solemn expression. They are not in a hurry and can dig slowly. Li Youqian doesn't need to take this risk.
"Don't worry, Defabo, as long as the situation is not good, I will definitely let you pull the rope." Li Youqian said casually, and then tied a knot on the rope despite the opposition of Li Defa and others and put it on his body.
Li De had no choice but to agree, and then, Li Changgui and Li Jincai, pulled the rope hard and put Li Youqian to the bottom of the pit little by little.
When he arrived at the bottom of the pit, without the obstacles of the excavator, Li Youqian could see more clearly. He found that there was an arch hole almost one person high on the side blocking the excavator. It seemed that something was inside was vaguely placed, but because it was too dark, he couldn't see clearly.
"Uncle Changgui, can you come home and get a flashlight?" Li Youqian shouted to the ground. He didn't dare to just drill into the hole rashly, otherwise it would be too late to regret it if something happened.
"Okay, I'll go home now." Li Changgui ran home again without any hesitation.
Not daring to enter the hole, Li Youqian picked up a shovel and dug it under his feet. After digging a few times, he dug out one by one. These woods were obviously there for a long time, and were covered with gray-black rotten rotten wood.
Li Youqian picked up the broken wood, then piled it together, and then dug it deeper again.
"Dong!" A muffled sound came over and Li Youqian suddenly felt energetic. He knew that he must have dug something else.
Li Youqian quickly squatted down and pulled the soil covering the surface aside, and a piece of box-like thing gradually revealed its lineup.<>
"There will not be treasures left by our ancestors hidden here, right?" Looking at the box slowly falling out of its outline, Li Youqian also felt a little excited in his heart.
In order to prevent the damage to what might exist in the box, Li Youqian put the shovel aside, pulled out all the soil on the box with his bare hands, and threw it to another corner.
Originally, Li Youqian thought he could clean the box in three to five minutes, but it took him twenty minutes.
"Hu." Li Youqian leaned against the excavator and let out a long breath, wiping the sweat on his forehead.
The weather was already hot, and the hole was not airtight, so Li Youqian had already been sweating profusely, and his clothes were probably squeezed out of water. However, for the sake of possible treasures, Li Youqian didn't care about so much.
"Hey, why does this box look a little weird?" Li Youqian was working hard just now, and only then did he notice that the box seemed a little abnormal, and the more he looked, the more he looked like something he was extremely familiar with... the coffin!
"Damn it, this thing is really a coffin." After research and comparison, Li Youqian became more and more sure of his guess. "The coffin is just a coffin, let's open it first."
Li Youqian secretly exasperated himself in his heart, and then began to search for the coffin lid, but in the end he found that the coffin lid seemed to have been nailed to death and could not be opened at all.
In desperation, Li Youqian thought of asking Li De to send it home and get some tools. He stepped on the coffin and was about to shout at the hole, but with a click, Li Youqian staggered and fell to the ground.
"Damn it!" Li Youqian cursed in a low voice, holding his waist with one hand and the ground with the other and climbing up.
He just stepped on the lid of the coffin, but because the coffin was buried underground for too long and had already rotted, it could not support his weight at all, so he directly rotted a big hole, and Li Youqian fell into it with one foot and lost his balance, so he fell to the ground.
"It hurts so much." Li Youqian rubbed his waist and grinned.
"What happened to you when you are rich?" Li Defa asked nervously on the ground, and he was also worried that Li Youqian would have an accident.
"I'm fine. I accidentally fell a little just now." Li Youqian replied. After massaged through the massage technique that existed in my memory for a while, the pain finally slowly disappeared.
After taking a look at the hole in the lid of the coffin, Li Youqian knew that he could save it and asked Li De to send it back to get the tools.
Li Youqian walked back to the coffin, cleaned the sharp wooden stubble at the edge of the hole, and then looked into the hole, and saw that it was dark and could not see anything.
"God bless you, come up with something good." Li Youqian prayed secretly in his heart and reached out to touch it.
"What's the thing?" Li Youqian couldn't see it, but based on his feeling that he must have touched something sticky. With a nervous mood, he took out the thing from the coffin.
"My mother, I'm scared!" Li Youqian was shocked in an instant and threw away the things in his hand.
The black ball thrown out by Li Youqian hit the earth wall, and then rolled to Li Youqian again.
"Gudu." Looking at the black eye sockets, Li Youqian couldn't help swallowing and spitting, and involuntarily retreated a few pieces, and distanced himself from it.
