Chapter 341 Things are different and people are different
The several mud balls that appeared in the yard now didn't look out of place at all, they just looked like a few stones.
The houses in this town were originally all made of bricks, and the yards were not hardened with cement. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice anything unusual.
Fortunately, Xu Feng had a good eye and was on guard in his heart, so he discovered that something was wrong.
When Zhang Rishan took out the flamethrower, Fatty Wang snatched it away.
Then he sprayed violently at these mud balls.
The sound of flames spurting out was very obvious in the silent night.
The blazing light almost illuminated the entire yard.
"Damn it, you guys actually dared to cast a curse on me secretly, I will burn you all to ashes..."
As the fat man spoke, he burned the mud balls into charcoal.
"Okay, Fatty, stop it, these bugs are probably dead!"
Xu Feng stopped the fat man, then walked forward and stomped on the mud balls to crack them apart.
The smell of roasted meat wafted out, even with a hint of burnt aroma.
“It’s really a Gu!”
Only after seeing the burnt insect eggs in the mud balls did they finally determine that these mud balls were indeed left behind by those people.
It is not difficult to imagine their purpose, which is to harm their own group of people.
Xu Feng brought the burnt poisonous insects back to the house and told the old man of the Zheng family about it.
The old man wasn't that surprised.
He said very calmly: "It seems that my prediction was not wrong at all. These people just don't want to let my Zheng family go!"
Immediately afterwards, Xu Feng handed the mud balls directly to Wu Congyi.
"Brother Wu, you are good at Gu magic, why don't you take a look at what type of Gu insects these are and what kind of damage they can cause to us?"
After Wu Congyi took the mud ball, he began to observe it carefully.
But after a moment he shook his head: "No, these poisonous insects have been burnt beyond recognition, I can't tell at all..."
Xu Feng originally wanted Wu Congyi to identify the types of these poisonous insects to see if they were deadly, so that he could judge whether these people were planning to kill him.
But now it seems that this idea is impossible to achieve.
However, Xu Feng still got an important piece of information.
That is, although these people want to harm the old man of the Zheng family, or their team.
But they still didn't dare to confront them head-on and could only act in secret.
Perhaps it was because they were few in number and did not dare to directly engage in action against a complete and large team.
Or...
Because they knew that this team had a large number of weapons and equipment, they did not dare to act rashly.
No matter which possibility it is, these people will not show up for the time being.
All they can do is keep looking for opportunities in secret and wait for a perfect opportunity. When the opportunity comes, they will launch an attack.
Xu Feng could only sigh: "It's getting late. We still have to find the entrance to the tomb tomorrow. Let's go to bed early now!"
Zhang Rishan nodded and said, "That's right, but we have to leave a few people to take turns to guard the night, otherwise, these people might come back again..."
"Correct!"
Fatty Wang couldn't help but say, "However, we are all going to look for the tomb of the Xiangxi Gu King tomorrow. Shouldn't we leave a few people here to protect the old man?"
Before Zhang Rishan could answer, the old man of the Zheng family couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha.…….."
Although he was laughing, he also looked helpless: "If these people wanted to attack me, I would probably be dead long ago!"
"These people just want to torture me and see me suffer, that's why they did this to my grandson! Even if I was alone with him, they would never do anything to me!"
In fact, everyone understood that what the old man said was indeed somewhat reasonable. But they couldn't really let the old man stay in this place alone.
After all, he is old, and no one can be really sure that those guys will not harm the old man.
Zhang Rishan immediately said to his men around him: "Tomorrow you two will stay and look after the old man, taking turns on duty to prevent any accidents!"
Although the two men also wanted to enter the tomb of the Xiangxi Gu King, since the boss had spoken, how could they refuse?
"Ok!"
After discussing everything for the next day and making specific arrangements, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
Soon, the next day arrived.
Everyone got up as soon as it was light.
While the town market was not yet bustling, everyone came into the mountains with their tools.
According to the old man's description, they came to this remote place.
But it is indeed very difficult to find that entrance.
Everyone searched the area thoroughly and found the small mounds of earth that the old man had described were almost everywhere.
But they were not sure which small mound was the place that the old man of the Zheng family mentioned.
In addition, this place has long been a wasteland, with all kinds of weeds and bushes growing everywhere, completely covering the terrain.
This makes the search more difficult.
They have been going back and forth several times, but still have no clue...
After Fatty Wang went back and forth a few times, he felt too tired to continue.
He threw his backpack on the ground and sat down: "Oh, I'm so tired..."
"I think the old man's description is a little too simple. There are so many dirt bags, which one is it?"
Xu Feng walked up to Fatty Wang and said, "Fatty, you're giving up now. This is not like the style of the famous Fatty in Beijing!"
The fat man was helpless.
"Hey, Master Xu, don't provoke me now. There are small mounds of earth everywhere. We can't dig out every place to check and determine where the entrance is..."
In fact, what the fat guy said is absolutely right. The little mound from decades ago may no longer exist now!
Everyone looked at the weeds in front of them, and they were at a loss as to what to do...
Decades have passed, and I don't know how much this place has changed.
"Let's not waste our efforts. Even if it was a big mound of earth back then, it must have been flattened by now..."
Fatty Wang couldn't help but complain.
Zhang Rishan was also extremely anxious at this time.
The clues given by the old man of the Zheng family were indeed not many.
Back then, the old man of the Zheng family was still a strong young man, but now half of his body has been buried in the earth.
Although it cannot be said that the world has changed drastically, it is definitely true that things and people are no longer the same...
Perhaps even if we bring the old man to this place, we may not be able to find the exact entrance to the tomb.
"Boss Xu, what do you think we should do now?"
Zhang Rishan was indeed starting to get anxious, and there was even more sweat on his forehead than the fat man.
Xu Feng couldn't think of any good solution at this time.
He could only comfort Zhang Rishan, "Boss Zhang, don't worry. We still have enough time. If you look carefully, you will find clues!"
"At worst, if we really do as Fatty said and conduct test digging in suspicious places, we should be able to find it...
However, what Xu Feng said at this time not only failed to comfort Zhang Rishan, but also scared the fat man.
