Chapter 79 Too Many Slots
Because it was a holiday, Bailu rarely returned to the village to stay for a long time.
Before the couple could say a few words, they were surrounded by the aunts.
Everyone heard about what happened in the town and came to Bai Lu to find out what happened.
It was the first time that Bai Lu felt so confused. She had never expected that there really was a big tomb under the school. Then she thought of what her mother-in-law had said. Could it be that she had been superstitious for so many years and believed it to be true?
"Lu, I heard there's a tomb under your school. Is it true? How did you find it?"
Bai Lu looked at the aunt who asked the question. She herself was also confused. She just found out at noon that there might be a thief and the principal might also have a problem, but she caught the person in the evening.
She looked at Lu Xing hesitantly, "I don't know as much about this as Aunt Xing does. How about letting Aunt Xing tell me?"
Everyone turned their attention to Lu Xing. "Auntie, can you tell us about it?"
Because the system was helping him, Lu Xing knew the most information of anyone in the room. "What do you want to know? There's a lot going on here."
Sun Pingjuan, relying on her loud voice, asked first, "Auntie, is there really a tomb down there?"
The others were a little dissatisfied that she had gotten ahead of them, but they couldn't help but want to hear how Lu Xing would answer.
"Yes, I heard it's either the tomb of an emperor or a prince."
"Hiss, we actually have an emperor!"
Everyone automatically ignored the possibility that Lu Xing mentioned the prince's tomb, and automatically understood that the emperor was buried there.
There is no emperor now, so people are not afraid. It is more of a novelty. The emperor's tomb is here, so to put it bluntly, they live in the same place as the emperor.
"I never thought that my grandfather would see the emperor soon, even though he had never met the county magistrate."
"How can we see the emperor? Isn't he buried in a tomb?"
"Are you stupid? Isn't the tomb right in town? You can see it if you go there."
It is obviously a serious matter, but when the people in Xiaoshi Village talk about it, they talk about it as if it were a tourist attraction.
Seeing that they were almost ready to go see it, Bai Lu quickly explained, "Aunts, that's an ancient tomb. Experts from the province are here. They can't just visit that place. The people who used to live there have been urgently relocated."
Knowing they couldn't see it, they had no interest in talking about it anymore. Someone was also amused. She had an enemy living in town. "Haha, it's that miserable old woman from the next village. I asked her to brag to me about buying a house in town, and now she has to move back."
"When she comes back, I'll ask her if she slept well living on top of the emperor's tomb."
She could hardly contain the gloating in her eyes.
The others didn't care about her personal grudges and just wanted to continue asking about the ancient tomb.
"Auntie, how did you find that tomb?"
"The thief found it."
"How did the thief find out?"
If Lu Xing didn't have the system, he probably wouldn't have known about this. "There are three thieves. One of the thieves' ancestors worked for a landlord."
"He once overheard a secret: a landlord had somehow found out the address of a prominent figure's grave, so they purposely built their ancestral hall there to take advantage of the good feng shui."
"When the thief grew up, his family was destroyed due to gambling losses and he had to leave the village. He met two brothers and told this story while drinking and bragging."
"One of my younger brothers has a family acquaintance who deals in antiques. He knows there's money to be made in this business, so he urged him to look for the tomb of that important figure."
"I don't know if they were lucky, but they managed to find it. To cover up the entrance to the cemetery, they built a toilet above it."
"It was also because of this toilet that the leaders at the time thought this piece of land had good infrastructure, so they built the school here."
This happened quite by accident.
But Bai Lu still had a question, "How did the principal find out about this?"
When the police opened the cover of the underground entrance, they all saw that the school principal was also inside.
"I found it while watching someone go to the bathroom."
The principal was middle-aged and had some health problems, so he developed a strange habit of peeping at others when they went to the toilet.
The entrance to the cemetery is next to the toilet.
One day he heard a noise in the toilet and thought someone was going to the toilet, so he wanted to go in and take a peek. As a result, he saw three thieves walking up from downstairs.
Seeing some people's strange looks, Lu Xing added, "The one peeking is a man."
"He can't pee himself, so he likes to watch other men go to the toilet."
The few men who were originally watching the fun felt a tightness in their hearts. They had lived long enough to see all kinds of perverts.
"It's okay to peek at women, but why do men do it too?"
The woman was unhappy after hearing this. "What? You mean it's okay to peek at women?"
The man who was originally muttering quietly, being stared at by so many people, quickly admitted his mistake, "Aunties, I just had a brain attack and said something wrong. It's all the principal's fault. Anyone who peeked should be arrested!"
When the aunts saw that he admitted his mistake, they stopped caring about it.
Hong Xiahua had a good memory. She still remembered that there was a gambler in Xiaoshi Village before. "Could that gambling thief be the one who ran away from our village?"
If she hadn't said it, Lu Xing wouldn't have noticed. She wasn't familiar with the man who gambled in Xiaoshi Village. He had been gone for so many years that she almost couldn't remember his name.
After hearing what Hong Xiahua mentioned, she confirmed with the system and found that it was indeed the same person.
"Really a person?"
"Gambling is so harmful. Look at the way it drives people. They don't follow the right path and even dare to steal things from the dead."
"That's right." He Gu, who has a gambling addict at home, agreed with this statement. "If I hadn't stopped my wife early, she might have ended up like him."
The people around him admired him and said, "He Gu, your husband must have been blessed in his previous life to marry you. If you hadn't stopped him, who knows what would have happened later."
"Maybe one day I'll be caught like that thief."
"Hey, Auntie, they hid the entrance so well, how did you find out?"
To talk about this, we have to mention how she knew there was an ancient tomb below. To explain this, she would have to lie, and this matter still needs to be handled by a professional.
So she turned her head and said, "Let Aunt Liu talk about this."
Speaking of this, Liu Hehua became excited.
She started by talking about how Lu Xing came to see her, saying that her perception was getting stronger and stronger. Just by standing at the school gate, she could sense that there was an ancient tomb below.
Then he talked about how his daughter-in-law didn't believe in Lu Xing's ability and got slapped in the face.
It was just an ordinary thing, but for some reason, it sounded like a slap in the face when she said it.
Lu Xing approached Bai Lu, who had been listening nearby, fearing she might be offended by Liu Hehua's words. "Your mother exaggerated the story. I was just guessing."
Bai Lu: "Auntie, why do I feel like what my mom said is true? Can you really sense something?"
Originally a materialist, Liu Hehua turned him into an idealist.
She tried to explain but couldn't, so she could only vaguely say, "This thing exists if you believe it, and it doesn't exist if you don't believe it."
Unexpectedly, Bai Lu looked as if she had suddenly understood something. "I understand, Auntie! I didn't encounter it before because I don't believe in it. My mother does, so she is the only one who can see your ability."
No, are all the kids in your family so good at reading comprehension?
Can this be accomplished?
