After the huge tree roots were dug up, there was a large pit in the ground; Wang Yuan jumped into the pit with a torch and took a closer look, except for the scattered gravel and soil, only the cobweb-like tangled tree roots were all over the pit wall, like blood vessels exposed.

"Erlang, this doesn't look like a place to hide treasures, such a deep pit, if there is a treasure, there should be something strange." Saburo asked, standing on the edge of the tree pit and stretching his neck.

Wang Yuan was also slightly disappointed, but he was not discouraged, if there was a treasure below, how could it be dug up so easily. The tree pit is only half a man deep, and it seems that it needs to be dug further down.

"Keep digging." Wang Yuan didn't say a word, waved the iron pickaxe and began to dig, everyone was quite speechless, and could only accompany him, Huang San didn't say much, jumped into the pit and started digging. The two of them were sweating profusely with iron pickaxes, and after another half an hour, the hole was already more than one person deep, and it was not over the top of their heads.

The women were willing to help but were helpless, and the two of them were too crowded in the hole, even if they wanted to help, they couldn't help.

There was a lot of dirt piled up in the pit, because Wang Yuan and Huang San could no longer use a dustpan to get the dirt up, Wang Yuan climbed out of the pit, felt the axe and began to chop the trees next to him.

Li Xin'er brought tea for him to drink, Wang Yuan took it and drank a few sips, picked up the axe and continued to cut down the tree, Li Xin'er said: "What are you doing to cut down the tree again?" Isn't the place dug in the right place? ”

Wang Yuan said: "Make a shelf to transport soil upwards, and never stop if you don't dig up the water today." ”

Gongsun Lan, who was leaning on the tree and watching coldly, sighed and said softly: "You are not immortal in the heart of the Yellow River, no wonder people say that people die for money, birds die for food, and I understand when I see your strength today." ”

Wang Yuan laughed and said, "You will be surprised, I know you think I am crazy, but I trust my own judgment." If you are really tired, go back and rest, and leave two to help light the torches. ”

Gongsun Lan sneered and didn't answer, Wang Yuan Gu cut down the tree, Gongsun Lan walked slowly, pulled out the short sword from his waist without saying a word, and in a flash of white light, the thick bowl of the tree that Wang Yuan cut was cut off from it, and fell aside. Wang Yuanwu was stunned spontaneously, the white light in Gongsun Lan's hand flashed, and five or six trees fell one after another, and he turned around and asked, "Is it enough?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "That's right, cousin started early, and I spent so much effort there." Enough is enough. ”

Gongsun Lan put the sword back into its sheath and said, "I just don't want you to waste everyone's time." If you don't give up, everyone will stay up late. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Since my cousin is considerate, why don't you use your advanced skills to help." My cousin slapped me lightly, and I and Saburo dug for a long time. ”

Gongsun Lan reprimanded: "Are you an immortal when I am a god? I don't have the ability to do this, you should do this kind of thing by yourself, everyone is a woman, how can I help you do this kind of work. Look at Miss Lan, a delicate woman, helping you dig a pit, what has become of it. ”

Wang Yuan looked at Lan Xinhui, who was standing on the edge of the pit and pulling a rope, and saw that she had a lot of dirt on her unkempt face, and she was like a country woman, which was funny and distressed. Lan Xinhui didn't care, and smiled: "It's okay, a slave can do these things." ”

Huang Ying shouted: "It's still strong, and my hands are blistered." ”

Wang Yuan was startled, regardless of everyone's eyes, he walked over to check Lan Xinhui's hand, and sure enough, blisters appeared on the little hands with fine skin and tender meat, and he immediately blamed himself. Hurriedly said: "I don't have to suffer here, San Lang and I will be." ”

Lan Xinhui said: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt." ”

Li Xin'er looked a little uncomfortable, gritted her teeth and grabbed the iron pickaxe and jumped into the pit and began to dig hard, everyone looked at it in a daze, Li Xin'er raised her head and shouted, "What are you looking at me for?" Let's take action. Erlang set up the wheel, the eldest sister, the younger sister and Miss Lan are responsible for lifting the soil and dumping it, everyone helps to get it together, digging until Erlang dies, otherwise can this night be stopped? ”

Wang Yuan listened to her words and deeds as if he was jealous again, and he didn't say much, and after clearing the trees, he set up a roller on the pit and hung a large basket with a rope to transport soil. Except for Gongsun Lan, who was still leaning on the trunk of the tree and doing nothing, with the cooperation of the rest of the people, the progress of digging the pit suddenly accelerated a lot. An hour later, the pit was deeper. This hill is no more than a few feet high, and it is almost digging to the bottom of the mountain.

Everyone didn't have much hope, and they were becoming more and more disappointed at the moment, because there was no place to bury treasures except soil was soil. I don't know what the point is in tossing like this.

Finally, Huang San couldn't stand it anymore, and gasped with an iron pickaxe: "Erlang, you can't dig anymore, it's a waste of effort." You forget that those people dug hundreds of pits, big and small, and didn't dig up any treasure. I don't want you to be as obsessed with them as they are. Miss Biao is right, the treasure is a fake at all. ”

Wang Yuan kept digging the soil in his hands, and said in his mouth: "No, it must be buried somewhere down here, don't you think it's strange?" The area we dug up was full of loose soil, and if we tried to widen the area, we would encounter hard rocks around it, you tell me why? ”

Huang San frowned and thought for a while: "It's a little strange, why is it all scattered soil in this square area, and the pit walls are full of stones, and an iron pickaxe is shaking and numb." I think it's weird, but what's the reason for that? ”

Wang Yuan said: "It's very simple, someone dug up here a long time ago, and the backfilled soil was not fully compacted, and it was all loose soil. So we were able to dig up this piece of land, and there were no excavated rocks around it, so the soil quality was naturally different. ”

Everyone suddenly felt that it was very reasonable, and this time even Gongsun Lan felt a little strange, so she deliberately took a branch and poked it around the top of the pit a few times, frowning and thinking about it carefully.

Wang Yuan had already taken off his shirt, revealing his dirty body full of mud and sweat and digging violently, and said: "San Lang, aren't you complaining that many parts of the house are dilapidated, and there is no money to rest in the backyard and front yard of the fence?" Do you still complain that we don't have a horse to ride or a car to sit on when we go out? Dig up these treasures, not only will you rest the house, but you will also be able to buy a few mules and horses to walk around, and some slaves to call on. I can't help but marry you a daughter-in-law, in short, you have money and easy to do. I also really love money, but I don't have a happy life without money. ”

Huang San spat a few mouthfuls of foam in his palm, rubbed it vigorously and said, "What I said is that maybe there is really a treasure, dig, black oil, dig, black oil." "While digging, I shouted to myself.

Everyone puffed up Yu Yong again, digging down along the tubular tunnel, the pit became deeper and deeper, and looking down from above, Wang Yuan and Huang San seemed to be in the well, at least three or four zhang deep. Moreover, the mud dug out is becoming more and more unpleasant, it is actually a viscous thin mud, which makes everyone's hearts, including Wang Yuan's heart, half cold.

If there is really a treasure, at least it is buried in a dry place, and such a muddy place is actually dug into the groundwater, so I am afraid that it will be a waste of work. The mood of the crowd suddenly became a little low. Suddenly, the people above heard Wang Yuan's exclamation below, and they all gathered around the mouth of the pit and looked down.

Li Xin'er shouted down, "What's wrong? You okay. ”

Huang San's frustrated voice came from below: "It's out of the water, it's over." We've dug a well. ”

Everyone's hearts were suddenly cold, and they dug out the water, which was a well, and what treasure was there? It's all mud.

The water in the well accumulated more and more, and soon the icy cold water passed through Wang Yuan and Huang San's calves, and it rose ferociously. Li Xin'er called: "Come on, this is not fun." ”

Putting down the bamboo basket, Huang San climbed into the basket and said to Wang Yuan, who was stunned: "Erlang, come up, let's go out." ”

Wang Yuan turned a deaf ear, standing in the muddy water and holding a torch, the torch shining on his tightly knit brow.

"Erlang, get into the basket quickly." Huang San anxiously urged, because he had already seen that the water had risen above Wang Yuan's knees, and the basket was also half submerged.

Wang Yuan turned a deaf ear, and suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Miss Lan, which one is the fourth secret sentence from?" ”

Lan Xinhui crawled at the mouth of the pit and shouted, "Go down to the spring." ”

Wang Yuan shouted loudly: "Down the spring, down the spring, there is spring water under it, isn't this the meaning of this fourth secret sentence?" “

Lan Xinhui's body shook and shouted, "It seems to be ...... That can be explained. ”

Wang Yuan jumped up in the muddy water and shouted excitedly: "What seems to be, it can only be explained like this, otherwise what is the use of this fourth sentence?" I think our hard work has not been in vain. This water is not a catastrophe, but an auspicious omen. ”

Lan Xinhui frowned and said: "Even if it is the poetry of the fourth sentence, where is the treasure?" Is it under the bottom sludge? So how can you get it? ”

Wang Yuan said loudly: "Isn't there a fifth sentence?" You recite the whole poem of Guan Ju to me. ”

Lan Xinhui no longer hesitated, and recited aloud into the pit: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island." My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, I covet it. I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. Leisurely, tossing and turning. Jagged wattles, picked left and right......"

It is a strange thing for a group of unkempt people to dig a pit in the woods in the dark night, not to mention that there are people shouting to the bottom of the pit, 'Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, good gentleman.' A group of women with muddy faces around them were stunned, this scene was not only weird, it could be described as weird.
