It was 8:30 that night, three hours before departure.
I knelt on the ground, not daring to look into Wang Baotou's eyes.
There was no need to hide it from him. I truthfully told the boss the difficulties faced by Li Jing's family.
The light bulbs in the room were very low and the lights were yellow and dim. Wang was holding a cigarette on his head and looking at me expressionlessly. The atmosphere between us was a bit dull.
I gritted my teeth and gave it my all.
I kowtowed heavily to Wang Bao: "Bao Bao, the mother and daughter of the Li family saved my life. They are now in trouble. I, Xiang Yunfeng, repay my kindness. I don't know what the consequences will be if I go to the pit tonight. I want to help."
The two of them."
"Please lend me fifty thousand yuan with your head!" I said and bowed.
After listening to my words, Wang put out the cigarette butt in his hand. He shook his head and said in a low voice: "Yunfeng, fifty thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. This is an ordinary family's savings in the past ten years. I can borrow it."
You, but you must agree to one condition."
"Please tell me your head." I looked seriously.
"Is this condition...you don't need to know it yet, you just need to remember that you owe the debt, that's all."
"In the future, you will repay this debt to me, Wang Xiansheng."
"Do you agree?" Wang looked at me with bright eyes.
I agreed at that time, I did it for Li Jing.
Wang then headed to his house, and about ten minutes later, he came back carrying a bulging plastic bag.
Wang put his head gently and put the plastic bag on the table.
"Yunfeng, this is fifty thousand, every penny is a lot, take it." He pushed the bag over.
There was some weight, and the money in the black plastic bag was wrapped in newspapers, wrapped in several layers.
Carefully opening the corner of the newspaper, it was the first time I saw so much money. At that time, my heart was beating wildly, and I hurriedly covered the newspaper without daring to read it.
Before going out, he stood with his head and hands behind his back and said: "Yunfeng, remember the time and come back before twelve o'clock tonight."
"Besides, all gangsters in our society are very particular about fairness. If I give you money, you owe me, Wang Xiansheng, a debt. Similarly, the girl you helped also owes you."
"I can't guarantee your safety on this trip to the pit. In our line of work, we need to be more open-minded, bold, and free-spirited. Yunfeng, if you feel that you are at a disadvantage."
"Just fell in love with her."
Wang Baotou's tone was calm, but I couldn't calm down for a long time after hearing this.
"I...should I obey the leader? But if that's the case, wouldn't I, Xiang Yunfeng, become a gangster?"
The rule on the head is that there should be improvements and improvements, but... this is not really a rule, right?
Carrying a black plastic bag full of money, I was filled with worries along the way, including excitement, fear, excitement, and worry.
From time to time, the scene of Li Jing bending over in her Donald Duck pajamas comes to mind, as well as what she said to me in the afternoon...
"Bang, bang," I knocked on her door directly.
"Squeak," the door opened a crack, and I saw half of Li Jing's face.
I held the plastic bag in my hand and said with an excited smile: "Li Jing, I brought the money! You don't have to worry about others coming to ask for the account!"
"Come on, let's go out and talk," Li Jing's face lit up, and she pulled me and ran towards the arch bridge.
The river is flowing and the moon is crescent. Under the Shunde Arch Bridge, two teenagers, a man and a woman, stand.
"Li Jing, look at this 50,000 yuan. If you return this money to those people, you and your mother will be fine." I handed over the plastic bag.
Under the moonlight, she opened the newspaper in the bag and took a look. As she looked at it, her eyes turned red.
Li Jing held the bag and hugged me.
"Xiang Yunfeng, thank you, you are so kind." She hugged me hard.
I clearly felt the girl's body temperature, softness, and curves.
My face suddenly turned red, very red.
Li Jing buried her head in my arms and said in a very small voice: "I...I keep my word, I am yours."
It may sound a bit silly now, but it was true at the time, after all, both parties were young at that time.
If this matter is left now, then it will not be strange.
If you don’t believe me, take a brand new iPhone and go to high school to try it out. Little girls are open to it, and they blush when hugged. That’s a coward like me.
That night, um... later, I went to a small hotel with Li Jing in a daze.
I won’t go into detail about the embarrassing incident in the middle, anyway, I ran away later.
Looking back now, I feel regretful and feel like I missed a good time.
....
At 12:14 midnight in Shunde, the whole city was dark, except for two red dots on the hillside of Moth Mountain.
Boss Sun flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said in a deep voice: "Stop talking, that's the deal. Let's check the power of the walkie-talkies. I'll go down with you to find someone. The second brother is my brother. I can't sit still."
"I'll leave it up to you, the leader, to deal with the matter."
Wang raised his head and said nothing. He nodded in agreement.
Just like that, I, the boss and the third, the Yao family brothers and sisters, and a group of five people went down into the pit. The safety of the pit had to be left to the leader Wang.
Sliding down the Pirate Cave, the cave was very dark, so I turned up the brightness of the headlight a little higher.
When he went down to the tomb for initiation, the woman Yao Yumen stopped. He knelt down and touched the stone for initiation, and let out a soft sigh.
"Sister Yao, what's wrong?" I called sweetly.
The woman gave me a blank look after hearing this.
"Hey, let's call you Sister Yu. Sister Yao is too ugly."
I quickly changed my words: "Oh, Sister Yu, what's wrong with this stone initiation?"
She said straight to the point: "This Western Zhou tomb is a bit strange. This kind of green shale is very rare in the south, almost none. It came from the Luoyang Mountains and Shaanxi area."
I thought about it carefully, and the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. It was really like this. Previously, our attention was attracted by the funerary objects and we didn't pay any attention to this kind of thing.
This woman... is so observant.
This kind of stone is similar to the stone in the grottoes near Longmen Yungang. The hardness is not very high, but it has good expansion properties. In other words, it is stable. It will not crack under thermal expansion and contraction.
What scares me is the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. Did the craftsmen of the Western Zhou Dynasty understand it three thousand years ago?
The inscription on the bronze bean found in Xi'er's room read the words "簯簣子".
The boss said that this was translated by someone from the Archaeological Research Institute through his connections, so there should be no mistake.
There is no such stone in the south, and the stone cannot travel thousands of miles on its own. The only explanation is man-made transportation.
Such a huge bluestone apotheosis project spans thousands of kilometers across the north and south of the Yangtze River. How much manpower and material resources will it require, and how many vehicles and horses will it consume?
History books say that Jihou was a small prince in the south in the middle and early Western Zhou Dynasty, and there was no record of even the heirs of his fiefdom.
But if so.
How could a small prince have such huge financial and material resources?
The huge bluestone initiation in front of you is the evidence.
I secretly guessed that this mustard's true identity may have been mistaken.
in other words.
It's just that the records in the history books are wrong.
