Chapter 20 That Night in the Grove-The Northern School Tomb Raider’s Notes

Seeing the top boss so much attention to himself, Xiao Ke heart surging, returning from Sichuan to Yinchuan, he just used less than seven days of time, according to the speed of transportation at that time to see, this speed can be described as a fast horse, fast can not be in the fast.

Returning to Yinchuan again, this time Ko spent money to expand his staff, and he found twenty or so local farmers who grew crops, promising to pay each of them a half-dollar. (The silver dollar issue was to be set back a few years).

Honest farmers do not know anything, collected money, they just follow the command digging soil and sand, this time they expanded the scope of exploration, in the original dug two dungeons and then expanded around more than ten miles, and found three new buried dungeons.

Xiao Ke may then deduce that the Western Xia Blackwater City has too much treasure, because the Mongols are raging time urgency, so there is no time to collect and organize, just scattered and buried around.

Here’s the problem.

Did he then dig up the ruins of the main city of Blackwater 800 years ago?

On this point, there are two statements in the handle sayings.

One is digging to find the Blackwater City under the sand, and the other is not digging, and he only found hidden treasure dungeons scattered around the ruins.

Born in 1863 and died in 1935, Kotko lived to be over seventy years old, and because of the special requirements of the Royal Geographical Society, he himself left no autobiographical books, and the ones that can be found today were not written by him.

The head was more biased towards the latter theory. That is, he led the group of people did not find the main city of Blackwater City, the head of this judgment is also based on, because this second digging lasted less than three months, if he dug to the Blackwater City, want to use two or three months to clean up the time is simply impossible, two or three years is more or less the same.

Between 1900 and 2001, exactly one century and one year, it is possible that the stone slab Uncle Aggie dug up came from a building somewhere within Blackwater City …..

After eating the mutton that night, the old patriarch went back to rest early because of his old age and poor health.

After supporting the guide Lao Zhang, the rest are our own people, at this time bean sprout boy said happily: “Hair, hair, we are not going to hair the head! I’ll be the first one to dig in and get the treasure when we reach Blackwater City!”

Put the head shook his head, not very happy, on the contrary, a little worried. Qin Xingping is also the same, with a blank face smoking a boring cigarette.

Doubtful, Bean Sprout Boy asked, “What’s wrong with you all, why are you all drooping and unhappy, did I say something wrong again.” Bean Sprout Boy pointed to himself as he spoke.

“Hey …..” The head of the handle sighed, before speaking, “Bud Boy, at first I was as happy as you are, then I reacted, we’re going astray here.”

“What do you mean head,” Bean Sprout asked, scratching his head, “We haven’t even set out yet, how could we have gotten off course?”

Rubbing his head on his temples, he said Yunfeng, you tell it.

I nodded my head and looked at Bean Sprout Boy and said, “Why are you so stupid, Bud Boy, have you forgotten what we came from Handan to Yinchuan for in the first place?”

“Didn’t forget ah, how can I forget,” bean sprout boy pointed to Qin Xingping said: “not Qin said that Yinchuan here may have a large tomb of the Western Xia, and so on ….. Tomb …… “Bean Sprout Boy only reacted at this time.

“That’s right ah ….” I glanced at him and said, “Our original plan was to come to find the tomb, to find the dungeon where the treasure was hidden, not to find the main city of Blackwater City, to make an analogy, it’s just like we were supposed to look for sesame grains that fell on the road, as a result, the sesame seeds were gone and let someone else swept them away, and there was more watermelon on the road in front of us, isn’t that just biased.”

Digging and robbing graves and digging to find the city are two different concepts, if you decide to do it, if you’re not lucky, with the few hands we have, you may not be able to dig for eight or ten years …..

“Forget it, it’s very late today don’t think about it first,” the head of the handle got up and said: “This matter allow me to consider carefully in the consideration, to see if there is any feasible way in the end, everyone go to sleep first, the old patriarch asked Aji to prepare a room for you.”

Said that the room is actually the earth kiln, I and bean sprouts boy a house, put the head and Qin Xingping live in a house, Xiao Xuan because it is inconvenient for girls, she lives in a house.

Another funny thing happened this night.

Because the first few levels have been trips to the sand on the body to get very dirty, a bunch of big old men are fine, but Xiao Xuan is not comfortable, she noisy want to wash her body, want Aji to help find water.

Aggie said with difficulty, “I can’t, I haven’t fetched any water for the past two days, and usually we use sand for washing our faces and hands.”

Xiao Xuan stared wide-eyed and said how can I take a bath with sand? Do you just rub it with sand?

I thought it was said as a joke, but Aggie nodded her head and said, “Yes. Scrape and pull with dry sand, rub back and forth, and the mud will fall off your body, and you’ll be clean.”
