Chapter 2 The First Strange Thing (Part 1)

Let me tell you something weird.

　　Maba Town is located at the junction of Jiangsu and Anhui, belonging to Huai'an. Within the scope of Maba Town, there is a place called Ma'an. Before the founding of New China, a strange thing happened here.

　　The location of Maba Town belonged to Dongyang County during the Qin Shihuang period. There were a large number of ancient tombs of the Qin and Han Dynasties. Since ancient times, there have been many tomb robbers here. Therefore, the local people are very familiar with the prevention of tomb robbery. At that time, there was a local tyrant in Ma'an named Ma Pingchuan, who was very famous in that area and controlled the local tobacco business. The Ma family has been entrenched in the local area for several generations, and the ancestral tombs are prosperous. At that time, wars continued, and Ma Pingchuan adopted deserters from all walks of life and distributed guns here. Ma'an once became a very strong local armed gathering place.

　　After Ma'an Village, there is a cemetery hill, where the ancestral tomb of the Ma family is located. In order to prevent people from robbing the tomb, many people have been sent to guard it.

　　That year, in this graveyard, a strange thing happened. Overnight, hundreds of acres of farmland behind the village, with the tomb hill as the center, all the crops withered and died.

　　This caused a huge panic in the local area. Ma Pingchuan thought that there was something wrong with the feng shui of his ancestral tomb. He even invited some of the most famous local feng shui masters to conduct a joint trial in eight halls to try to find a way to resolve it, but in the end he could not find any one. So come. Ma Pingchuan was full of courage in doing things. He immediately took out a lot of money, found a treasure land of feng shui, and ordered the tomb to be moved.

　　For a while, the entire plain behind the village overflowed with fireworks, as if fighting a war. The main family of the Ma family moved first, and then the foreign families went to each of them to find Feng Shui masters, to do things, to open the graves, and firecrackers rang out. In the beginning, it was the family that opened the coffin, and Ma Pingchuan's pomp called the shots. Several platoons of soldiers fired their guns at the sky. The Ma family opened the old grave of their great-grandfather, but they dug more than ten meters deep, but they couldn't get the coffin. The coffin in the ancestral tomb has disappeared. Ma Pingchuan was furious and ordered all the ancestral tombs to be filled with coffins on the same day. Under the dust, they were surprised to find that in the cemetery they had worshiped for hundreds of years, there were no coffins under all the tombs.

　　Ma Pingchuan was furious, and immediately shot several soldiers guarding the cemetery, and ordered all the cemeteries to be opened up to see if the coffin was still there. He must find out what is going on. Are there really tomb robbers who use their ancestral graves as ATMs? Is it a long-term entanglement or a robbery?

　　After a thorough investigation, Ma Pingchuan discovered that all the ancestral tombs without coffins were concentrated in the field with dead crops.

　　This matter almost became a heartbreak for Ma Pingchuan. The local feng shui masters knew that if they participated in this kind of thing, they would probably lose their lives and run away. There were also many feng shui masters from other places who thought it might be an opportunity and came to take risks. During this period of tug of war for a month, until Ma Pingchuan was upset, he was so annoyed by being cheated. So Ma Pingchuan ordered to close the door to thank the guests, and called out when a Feng Shui master came to the door.

　　On the third day of thanking guests, Ma Pingchuan was playing Tai Chi in the yard when he suddenly saw a child sitting on the eaves of his house.

　　This little child, with a peaceful face, huddled in the corner of the eaves, wearing a blue cloth gown, that is, the appearance of a teenager. He looked at Ma Pingchuan, but did not speak.

　　He was startled and immediately called the guard, thinking it was a fox fairy or something unclean. Over the past few days, he has been very sensitive to this kind of thing.

　　In fact, there is a reason for him to think so, because his house is heavily guarded, usually don't talk about little thieves, even wild cats can't get in. How did such a child enter such a deep inner courtyard, and what did the guards who went in were doing?

　　A teenage child appears here, it can only be an evil thing.

　　But when he went to see the child himself, he found that it was really a living person, not only breathing, but also squatting on the eaves. "Stinky boy, where did you come in!" Ma Pingchuan liked children since he was a child. After seeing it clearly, he became curious. He grabbed the guard who was going to arrest the child, raised his head and asked the child a question. The child did not speak, but pointed in one direction. Ma Pingchuan didn't realize at the time that the child was pointing in the direction of his ancestral grave.

　　"Do you know whose house this is, how dare you break in casually?" The more Ma Pingchuan looked at this kid, the more he felt that the kid was very clean, and couldn't help but rejoice.

　　Then the child said, "I know where your coffins have gone."

　　Ma Pingchuan frowned. He was annoyed to hear this topic. Looking at the child, he wondered what the situation was. If a feng shui master said this, it would be nothing more than cheating money, but when a teenage child said this, it made people feel panicked.

　　As a faction, Ma Pingchuan certainly wouldn't be intimidated by such a scene, and shouted: "Boy, who taught you this, those old men are cheating me with these chickens/batams, you brat dare to talk too much. ?"

The child was not afraid of him at all, and said indifferently: "I am here, and I can take any money if I want. I just came to tell you, I know where the coffin in your ancestral grave went."

　　Ma Pingchuan thought about it, too. They have all arrived in the inner courtyard, and the accounting room is on the side. If he wants money, he can go directly to get it. If this little devil can come here, he must be able to go out without knowing it.

　　His experience let him know that this child would not be too simple, so he took his temper and asked, "Then tell me, where did the coffins in my Ma family's ancestral grave go?" The

　　child said, "I If you don't believe it, you might as well go to the cemetery with me." Ma Pingchuan glanced at the guard and then at the child, and the kid looked at him so lightly that he felt it was an embarrassing provocation.

　　This is not an equal exchange. Ma Pingchuan felt that this kid must be someone who honestly felt that he was completely unworthy of fear, so he looked at him with this kind of eyes, and the guards were there, he thought about it. He must be the first to know what is going on in these eight townships. What is he afraid of? Could someone plot against him in the graveyard?

　　He has never seen any big storms. If someone wants to plot against him, it is just right to let his soldiers practice. If you are timid here, it would be a bit embarrassing to be seen by the guards.

　　Ma Pingchuan said to the child, "Okay, then it's settled. Come down. Can you ride a horse?" After standing still, he didn't speak, just nodded. Ma Pingchuan gathered a group of guards, mounted the horse with the child, and ran all the way to the vicinity of the grave.

　　Going to the grave, the child pointed to the withered and yellow area around him and said to Pingchuan: "Look, this field is dead." "Blind people can see it." Ma Pingchuan said, "Little devil, you'd better not play with me. , or I will shoot you on the spot. Come on, where did the coffin go?" "Look, what does this withered area look like?" said the child.

　　Ma Pingchuan looked at the dry fields around him, but he really never thought to look at the shape of the dry fields. But the place where they were standing was not high enough to see clearly, so Ma Pingchuan gave a guard a wink. The guard turned over a big tree beside him, climbed to the top of the tree in a few times, looked around, and shouted down. Said : "Boss, it looks like a scorpion!"

　　Ma Pingchuan frowned, thinking that he really had a story, and regardless of his image, he rushed under the tree and climbed up with gritted teeth. When I came to the canopy and looked down, I couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, the outline of this withered crop field was like a huge scorpion with claws and claws.

　　He yelled down at the child, "What's going on?"
