Xu Da was so focused on the road to wealth that he completely forgot about his humble status. He jumped on the verge of being beaten and even waved Wang away angrily, "You mother-in-law, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Then he explained in a low voice to his three children: "What I mean is that since ancient times, the rich and powerful have shown their filial piety, and the trend of lavish burials has been prevalent. Those who are dead can't use up their money, and we living people can help him use it!"
Xu Yue understood, her father wanted to rob the tomb!
Seeing her father being chased and beaten all over the room by her mother, Xu Yue couldn't help but think... The first captain in history to touch gold was actually my father?
.........
It was a dark and windy night.
A group of five people sneakily climbed to the top of a mountain with hoes, shovels, dustpans and other items. It was Xu Yue's family of five.
Xu Dayao looked at the river in front of him and at the mist-shrouded mountains behind him. He measured the direction with his fingers and spoke plausibly:
"The owner of the mountain is Ding, and water controls wealth. The method of Feng Shui is to obtain water first, and to hide the wind second. This place faces forward, leans back, and embraces left and right... It is a Feng Shui tomb for the rich and powerful. The foot of the mountain is determined
There is a big tomb, not only for the king, but also for the general!"
After that, he raised his hand and said, "Give me the hoe."
Wang, who was carrying a hoe, handed it over. Living in the era of the Interstellar Federation, she obviously didn't understand the principle of Xu Da's calculation.
But seeing how well he did it, it didn't dampen his enthusiasm.
The family watched Xu Da dig. He dug deep into the soil, and then dug out a few pieces of soil that were different from the surface.
Judging by the color, it seems to be quite old.
Is there really an ancient tomb under this foot?
Xu Yue looked at her father in surprise. It was the first time in her life that she had seen such an on-site archeology scene, and various bizarre and mysterious scenes in tomb-robbing novels automatically appeared in her mind.
What kind of rice dumplings, ghosts blowing out lamps, ghosts hitting walls, etc.
She waited with expectation, but she never expected that her father seemed to return from fantasy to reality in a second, and told her with a serious face:
"The grave is too deep, and we may not be able to dig it."
Can't dig it?
Then come to this mountain in the middle of the night to dig a hammer!
Performance art?!
Mother and son looked at each other angrily. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Da turned around and ran away.
"Xu Da, I will kill you with one shot!"
Wang picked up the hoe and chased after him. In the silent mountain forest, Xu Da's mournful and angry wails could be heard.
In a flurry of excitement, the family of five returned empty-handed with resentment and neatly returned to the home of the farmer where they stayed overnight.
The sky has turned white, and this night, it's all white.
However, looking at the particularly majestic mountain peak in the morning mist, Xu Yue secretly noted its location.
She believed that her father was not lying, but with their meager manpower, they really couldn't dig him out.
Just because you can't dig it now doesn't mean you won't be able to dig it in the future.
Maybe one day in the future, they will come back here...
I didn't sleep all night and had to continue setting off at dawn.
A family of five came out of the old couple's home with panda eyes after staying up all night and feeling depressed.
When Wang Dayou and his wife came to join them, they thought something had happened to them last night.
Mrs. Tong asked with concern: "Sister-in-law of the Xu family, what happened to each of you? Nothing happened, right?"
Wang smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's just insomnia."
If one person suffers from insomnia, will the whole family suffer from insomnia?
Tong's face was full of worry and she wanted to ask again. Wang Dayou pulled his wife and signaled her not to ask any more questions, so Tong gave up.
But I still couldn't control my doubts, and I kept looking back to observe the identical dark circles under the eyes of the five members of Xu Yue's family, feeling amazed in my heart.
When you arrive in Hejian County, you can walk to the Hejian Administrative Office.
But after entering late September, it has been cloudy for days and the temperature is getting lower day by day. Sleeping in the wild at night, Xu Yue has already felt that winter is approaching.
The two families originally only wore two single pieces of clothing, but now they had to put on the tattered linen clothes they had changed out of before.
Wearing three pieces on top of each other can barely withstand the cold air.
Xu Yue was always worried that she would catch a cold or get sick. She worked hard to recall knowledge points every day, and with the help of her family, she finally unblocked the small kitchen in the laboratory.
The quick-frozen dumplings, instant noodles, and eight-treasure porridge can all be moved, but now that they have passed the difficult period of not having enough to eat, Xu Yue left them alone without touching them.
After all, if you want to eat them again, you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
There is a stove in the kitchen. There is an induction cooker and a small liquefier on the stove. If the induction cooker has no power, it will be useless. You may be able to use it after removing the parts.
There are still two bottles of gas in the liquefier, which are not needed now.
Next, there are bottles and jars on the table, including oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and MSG, a bottle of pepper, a few beautiful porcelain bowls, two pairs of chopsticks, and a plastic spoon.
The porcelain bowl is exquisitely made and may be worth some money if sold, but there is no need for it at the moment.
All in all, apart from instant noodles, eight-treasure porridge, and unfinished dumplings, the biggest gain from the unblocking of the small kitchen this time was the bottle of almost untouched pepper.
She had seen a piece of news on a popular science TV program, saying that in ancient times spices were as valuable as gold, or even more expensive than gold. This small bottle of pepper was worth thousands of gold, but she didn't know if it was true or not.
After the family settled down, they asked my father to take it to the county seat and try it out.
Putting all these aside, Xu Yue only has one idea now, which is to free the finished medicine box in the laboratory.
The day was getting colder and colder, and she was numb from the cold. In order to avoid catching a cold, she practiced physical skills whenever she stopped.
But this is only a temporary measure. Warm clothes are scarce. If you don't have a shop in the middle of nowhere, you won't be able to get any warm clothes. Sooner or later you will get sick from the cold.
She didn't know what the medical conditions were like in other places. She only knew that in the original owner's very few memories, the sick people in the village had never seen a doctor and just suffered.
Or you can ask a witch doctor to help you. It is God's will to survive. If you cannot survive, it is fate.
Unfortunately, it was a hot summer before she traveled through time, and there were only two thin white coats on the clothes rack next to the kitchen, which could not meet her current needs for warmth.
But it was better than nothing, so Xu Yue took out the two coats and asked her sister Xu Erniang to change them into five small vests, one for each member of the family.
In this way, in the howling cold wind, after walking for seven full days, the two families finally arrived at the gate of Hejian County.
Different from the lax guards in the previous town, a county government office is strictly guarded by officers and soldiers entering and exiting the city. Registration and inspection are required when entering and exiting the city. Those who enter the city from afar must pay landing tax and transaction tax.
People entering and leaving the city lined up under the city gate, everything was in order.
On the notice board under the city gate, Xu Yue saw the notice recruiting refugees. It seemed that the steward was indeed telling the truth and did not deceive her father.
