When the one-eyed man saw her, he stood up and walked closer. There was a long distance between them, and they walked slowly, one in front and the other behind, making it look like an underground party meeting.
"The letter has been sent, everything went well. I just want to tell you that there is indeed something wrong with those foreigners."
"How do you say that?"
Tian Yuzhu looked around and found that there were not many people on the street.
During the day, everyone is busy doing hard farm work.
So he slowed down a step, afraid of missing a word.
The one-eyed man lowered his voice and said, "I heard that those foreigners are going to Luwangpo for an inspection."
"Luwangpo?"
It sounds like the name of a small hill.
"Pah." The one-eyed dragon suddenly spat, "You don't know how big Luwangpo is. These hills in front of us are nothing. They must be as big as ten of these hills put together."
Tian Yuzhu was shocked.
None of the hills along the way from the military area are small.
In her eyes, this was already a towering mountain range, but there were actually ten such mountains that were still larger.
How big is Luwangpo?
She couldn't imagine it anymore.
"That's why I said those foreigners had bad intentions."
The one-eyed man's words were a bit confusing.
Tian Yuzhu glanced at him, and he quickly explained, "That mountain is incredible. I heard from the older generation that there are all kinds of rare medicinal herbs. There is also an ancient tomb in the mountain. I suspect those foreign devils went for the tomb."
"Whose grave is this?"
"Six hundred years ago, there was a King Shuozhen. Although his dynasty was small, the entire kingdom was extremely wealthy. Even ordinary people could afford golden and jade bowls. Just imagine how wealthy King Shuozhen must have been. If his tomb were opened, it would be a great bargain for the foreigners."
"No, wait a minute."
The legend of King Seokjin does exist in the New World as well.
But his tomb is actually at Luwangpo?
Tian Yuzhu sorted out her thoughts: "It's not about whether it's cheap or not. If there really is an ancient tomb there, then it belongs to the state. Without the consent of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, no one can open the tomb, let alone a few foreigners."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the one-eyed dragon's eyes widen: "You really know a lot."
"...I learned it from others." He covered it up with a fake smile, and then changed the subject: "Uncle, you haven't also picked up good things at Luwangpo, have you?"
"I wouldn't dare to do that."
The one-eyed man quickly shook his hand and said, "Mr. Gong, you don't understand the people in our area. Although we have many ethnic minorities and there are brave hunters who go up the mountain, when it comes to Luwangpo, no one dares to go in."
"If you don't believe me, go look at that old lady on the street, that old lady Qiao. Her son went in there once when he was young and hot-headed, and he came out changed like that."
"What's wrong?" Tian Yuzhu was surprised.
Isn’t Mrs. Qiao the widow of that Red Army soldier?
"He couldn't speak or hear anymore, he became dumb and deaf. It was with great difficulty that he finally survived. He was bedridden for a month, unable to get out of bed. After he finally came back to life, he was left like that."
It didn't seem like the one-eyed man was bragging. His eyes revealed his fear of Luwangpo.
Tian Yuzhu found it incredible: "Could it be that he encountered miasma, or ate poisonous wild fruit?"
The one-eyed man shook his head. "That's not the case. Someone asked him the same question later, but he just wrote something on the ground with a stick."
"What?"
"……ghost."
“…”
This is a bit superstitious.
Tian Yuzhu didn't believe it, but even though she said she didn't believe it, she felt uneasy inside.
Let’s not talk about Mrs. Qiao’s son, let’s just talk about herself. How could such a thing as time travel happen to her?
How do you explain this?
She pulled herself back to her thoughts and said, "Since everyone is so taboo about that place, Mayor Qin will definitely not approve them going up the mountain, right?"
"I don't know about that."
"Uncle, you have to keep a close eye on me these two days."
"Don't worry, you're right. The tomb belongs to our country. We can't let foreigners open it. I understand that."
Don't think that the one-eyed man is unreliable in his daily work.
That's because he hasn't encountered a time when he feels that this is a serious matter.
Once he decides on something, he will work hard to complete it.
"By the way, uncle, have you found anyone with the surname Gong in the county?"
"No."
The one-eyed man scratched his head, totally confused as to why she wanted to inquire about such a person.
…
Yang, a salesperson at the grocery store, is a middle-aged woman with a round face and almond-shaped eyes.
She saw One-Eyed Dragon talking to Tian Yuzhu.
Although they seemed to be talking sporadically, they actually chatted a lot as they slowly walked towards me from the other end of the street.
When Tian Yuzhu walked into the grocery store, she couldn't help but ask, "Military wife, did that one-eyed guy come to you to recommend something again? I'm telling you, ignore him. He's just shameless. Next time he pesters you, come in and tell me, and I'll go out and scold him."
Tian Yuzhu was very surprised. She never expected that a strange female compatriot would take the initiative to offer to protect her.
People of this era are simple and honest.
She looked at the other person’s name on his/her work badge: Jinju.
This is a good name, it makes you look rich.
Tian Yuzhu smiled and shook her head: "Thank you, Sister Jinju, I'm fine, and uncle didn't recommend anything to me. We were just chatting casually."
Jinju was stunned. How did she know my name?
After Tian Yuzhu's eyes signaled her, she realized that it was her work badge that betrayed her.
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm glad I didn't bother you. But you're quite polite, even calling him uncle."
Tian Yuzhu smiled.
I guess no one in this town knows about the one-eyed man.
After looking around, I saw garlic sprouts on the counter.
That’s good. Didn’t she just buy a piece of fresh pork belly yesterday?
After taking it home, add salt and marinate it. It is in this semi-dry state that the fried garlic sprouts are especially delicious.
Also some peanuts and three pounds of hairtail, a bottle of soy sauce and vinegar, coriander, green onions, and peppercorns.
She wants to make scallion rolls for dinner.
There are not enough cabbages at home, so I bought two heads. I also bought two pounds of eggs.
All this added up to a small sum of money, and since she didn't have a ticket, she just paid with cash.
Jin Ju was filled with envy: "As expected of a military wife, she is rich."
Tian Yuzhu was slightly stunned...
It seemed that buying things like this would give military wives a bad reputation.
It seems that I have to buy it in small amounts and in several batches in the future.
When buying a lot, you still have to go to the county town.
After packing up, I thought for a moment and worried that there was not enough flour at home, so I weighed another ten pounds.
All these things were stuffed into the bamboo basket, and the bamboo basket was stuffed full.
"Thank you!"
Jinju came out from behind the counter, picked up the bamboo basket and put it on her back.
She waved her hand cheerfully: "You're welcome, we are military and civilians, we are one family."
