"Go to Mangshan? Tonight?" I asked in surprise.

He looked at me and nodded.

"No, let's go, it's past nine o'clock. I'll call Xiaoxuan to go up the mountain? Are you looking for a tomb to check out the site?"

"And I look at the weather forecast, it may rain moderately in Luoyang at night."

He said, "It's okay, bring an umbrella. You and Xiaoxuan will accompany Mr. Li's family of three. He specially asked me."

"What are you going to do? Are you going to get your head?"

"I won't go anymore. Mr. Li will explain to you on the way. He will leave at 10 o'clock. If he is fast, he will be back at about one o'clock."

"Then... OK, I'll call Xiaoxuan."

When Xiaoxuan heard that I was going to go to Mangshan, she was also confused.

At around 9:50, the guests ended. Mr. Li, Yuanbao, and the young wife who had just passed by Yuanbao came out. The new wife was named Xiaoxia. They all held an umbrella in their hands and probably looked at the weather forecast.

A three-wheeled motorcycle was parked outside the yard, a blue Jincheng Suzuki King. The back of the tricycle was filled with two bamboo baskets and covered with rain cloth.

"Xiaoxiang, can you ride a bike?"

I said yes.

The old man nodded, threw the key to me and said, "Wait until you ride on the bike and follow me, it will take about half an hour to the foot of the mountain, and then let's walk up the mountain. Thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, he looked up at the sky and said, "I hope it won't rain. If it rains, it's hard to walk in the mountains."

I took the Suzuki car key and asked, "Master Li, I didn't tell me my head, it's so late, why are we going to Mangshan?"

A trace of sadness flashed in the old man's eyes and said lonely: "Go and see my son and daughter-in-law. I promised that when Xiaobao got married, I would come and tell them."

At this time, Xiaoxuan bit my ear and asked quietly, "What's going on, Yunfeng? Do their family live in the mountains? Why don't your son get married in such a big deal? "

I see....

I couldn't help but say, if I could come during the day, it would be a damn daytime.

Mr. Li originally looked for someone else, but he decided to change us on the spot this day. I guess it might be because we are all insiders.

Xiaoxuan and I are a man and a woman, and our identities are equivalent to those of the best man and bridesmaid.

Suzuki's battery was in short supply and turned on the fire without electricity.

I kicked it for more than ten consecutive times before hitting it. After a few rounds of the accelerator, Xiaoxuan sat up and put her hands around my waist.

In front of him, Mr. Li was riding a tricycle, Yuanbao and his wife Xiaoxia were sitting in the fight, and I followed behind him.

The couple was loving and loving on the way. Yuanbao hugged Xiaoxia and helped block the wind. From time to time, he would raise his head and kiss each other.

The road conditions were a little bumpy, and Xiaoxuan held me and her face was tightly pressed against my back.

10:30.

We couldn't ride a bike at the foot of the mountain, so we started hiking up the mountain.

We were afraid of anything we were afraid of. Not long after we went up the mountain, raindrops began to drop in the sky. We turned on flashlights and held umbrellas again.

The north-south range of Mangshan Mountain is about 200 kilometers, and the altitude is more than 200 meters. The altitude here is not high, with more soil and few stones. It is the landform of the Loess Tomb. The highest main peak is Cuiyun Peak.

"It's raining, the road is slippery. Grandson, please hold Xiaoxia a little, don't slip, the next section of the road is not easy to walk."

"I know Grandpa."

The old man turned around and reminded me and Xiaoxuan, "Xiaoxiang, please pay attention to the footsteps and pay attention to the holes that have not been filled in tightly. If I weren't talking big, there are about 20,000 holes in the north of Guangmangshan."

"So much..." Xiaoxuan couldn't help but exclaim.

The old man held an umbrella and smiled and said, "You don't know that there are more holes stolen in the south of Mangshan. From ancient times to the present, there are at least more than 30,000 holes stolen. The Forestry Bureau has conducted an investigation over the past ten years.

The mountains have been backfilled a lot.”

I was so shocked by my tongue when I heard it.

The rain gradually turns from light rain to moderate rain. Judging from the situation, it may even turn into heavy rain.

I was afraid that Xiaoxuan would get wet, so I hit her with the umbrella, and my entire back was soaked.

The path I walked in the mountains became more and more remote. Finally, I passed through a forest. Mr. Li, who led the way, slowly stopped.

The old man held his hand on a persimmon tree with a crooked trunk, took a deep breath, and said, "Baby, Dad is here to see you."

At this time, Xiaobao thrust, knelt on both knees, cried with sobs, and said, "Dad! Mom! My son is here to see you!"

"Xiaobao is married today!"

"Dad! Mom! I'm married!"

After choking and saying that, Yuanbao pulled his wife Xiaoxia to kneel down and kowtowed to the persimmon tree.

The grandson and his wife kowtowed, and Mr. Li held the persimmon tree with tears faintly in his eyes.

The bamboo basket was filled with candles and paper money because the rain cloth was covered before coming, but it was not wet, but it was not better.

I found several sheltering places under the persimmon tree, and it took Mr. Li a long time to light a candle.

I lit a handful of incense on the ground again, and Xiaoxuan and I went over to worship as besties and bridesmaids.

"Master Li, I have a question I want to ask, it's nothing else. Don't be angry if you say it."

"You said." The old man was still trying to use a lighter to light paper money.

"This is...it should be an ancient tomb, right?"

"Oh? How did you see it?" the old man asked without raising his head.

I held an umbrella, turned my head and looked around, frowned and said, "Mr. Li, this is a basin. The basin is easy to preserve water. Every grass and tree should grow well."

"But look, compared to the woods we just passed by, these persimmon trees here are crooked and obviously malnourished. In addition, these grasses are wilted and cannot grow tall."

"It may be a tomb in the Han Dynasty or before the Han Dynasty. There was a lot of white paste mud under the ground irrigated along the rain. Over time, this underground soil turned into an alkaline soil layer."

"That's right."

The old man praised: "There is indeed a Han tomb underground. My son and daughter-in-law died in this tomb."

"Because of a thief hole and landslide?" I asked in a low voice.

The old man nodded and recalled: "Maybe there is a connection in the dark. I remember it was raining heavily that day. My son expected that the thief would hold it up and would not collapse, but in the end... it still collapsed...

.”

Hearing this, I suddenly had a question.

The descendants of Li Yazi can be said to be a tomb robber family, passed down from generation to generation, and have rich experience. Even a half-new person who has just entered the industry for a few years knows that it is a taboo to get tombs when it rains.

Even if you make a vertical hole that is straight up and down, even if you use a gap plate as support, if the rain is heavy, the hole will become a water inlet, which is very dangerous.

At this time, the soil on the thief wall will begin to soften, falling down piece by piece, and eventually collapse.

I have studied before that this is a problem with the structure of the hole stolen, and square holes are more likely to collapse.

The ancient circle is close to square. Before the Republic of China, there were no Luoyang shovels. The holes dug were all round and relatively more stable.

If you don’t believe it, go and have a look. The most common ones that can be left behind are the old thief holes in the past.

"Master Li, then your son's body was not transported out later?"

Finally lit the paper money, he stood up and shook his head and said, "It was not shipped out, because the last word my son shouted was to prevent me from going down."

"Say there is something in the tomb."

"Is there something? What?" I asked in confusion.

Mr. Li pushed the paper money with a branch and said two words.
