"Master! Goodbye! Remember to come back and see me when you have time!"
I looked in the rearview mirror and saw the skinny boy holding a golden bowl in his hand and jumping up and down happily.
I shook my head and smiled.
I gave him the smallest Xixia gold bowl to repay the two women for saving my life. The most important thing is that I like this boy. When I see him, I seem to see my past self.
Now there's only one last thing left.
Hide this batch of goods in my hand.
This is not something worth hundreds of thousands to two million. The total price of this batch of cultural relics far exceeds one million! What was the concept of millions in the early 2000s? Think about it.
So where is the safest place to hide?
I actually had a plan for a long time.
To prevent thieves and other casual people from accidentally discovering and walking away.
Buried
The place where you are buried needs to have few people but cannot be completely deserted. Someone must patrol and watch it 24 hours a day.
Buried where?
underground!
Buried in the cemetery!
On my route back, I happened to pass by a large cemetery, Fujian Panlongshan Cemetery Area, which later became Panlongshan Cemetery!
The next day.
A female manager wearing thick glasses greeted me.
"Hello sir, do you want to know the location? Our cemetery is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It has good feng shui and is patrolled 24 hours a day. Now we are holding an event. If you buy a cemetery, you will get a free inscription engraving service."
I washed the car, combed my hair neatly, held my briefcase under my arm, and wore sunglasses, looking like a successful little boss.
"Yeah. Your place is pretty good. What's the process like?"
The female manager of glasses immediately said: "The process is simple. You choose the location first after you are satisfied. After providing the death certificate of the deceased, the style of the inscription, and the photo of the deceased, we will then do the verification and proofreading, make the inscription, and issue you a possession permit. Finally,
Acceptance and burial on the same day."
"How long will it take to get this done?" I asked. > "Three days. If you are in a hurry, one day is about the same. Sir, how about I take you to see a few locations with good Feng Shui first?"
I nodded and followed the female manager.
I paid attention to a very inconspicuous edge location. From a distance, the tomb was blocked by a cypress tree.
“How much does this position cost?”
"this?"
The female manager was stunned and said quickly: "If you want to choose this seat, we can give you the biggest discount or reduction. Are you sure you won't look at other empty seats?"
I smiled and said, "No, I think this place is pretty good, so I decided to go with it."
The female manager was a little excited. She may have thought that no one wanted this place for many years and finally a fool bought it.
I went back to the reception hall to pay and sign the contract. On the way, I paid a high price to print out a death certificate at a printing shop. The female manager looked at it for a long time.
I felt guilty and asked, "What's wrong? I'm very busy with business and I have to finish it and get back as soon as possible."
"Oh it's all right."
The female manager looked at the materials, smiled and said: "You said this was your brother who had an accident. I took a quick look and saw that he didn't look like him, so I took a second look. However, people cannot be resurrected. Sir, you have to express your condolences."
After saying that, she took the stamp and stamped it next to the photo on the death certificate.
A black-and-white photo shows Dou Sprout with a smile on his face.
"Okay sir, in addition, we also provide statue services, high-quality solid wood urn services, wreath services, and singing class services. Which service do you need to choose?"
I shook my head and said I didn't need any of this, I was prepared myself.
The female manager's face immediately collapsed, and she said with a dark face: "Sir, the death of a relative is a big deal, do you have to choose one option?"
I pushed one over calmly
He received the red envelope and said with a smile: "Main, I have indeed prepared it myself. You can take care of it."
The female manager covered the envelope with the contract and said with a smile: "I understand, don't worry."
I requested to be buried on the same day on the pretext of being busy with business. The female manager took advantage of me and arranged the matter quickly and well.
In the early years, cemeteries were not like today. Nowadays, cemeteries in many places no longer need to break ground. They are just a big stone slab. You just need to remove the stone slab and put it in the urn. At that time, we were influenced by traditional concepts and had to dig and bury the remains.
The tomb is a vertical shaft that goes straight up. It is large at the top and small at the bottom. The depth is about 1.5 meters. It is suitable for placing the coffin. The coffin is a large urn. Large coffins are not allowed in the cemetery.
The cultural relics had been hidden in the urn for a long time. I originally planned to dig them out myself, but doing so would seem a bit cover-up.
The people responsible for digging the grave were diggers hired by the female manager. They were two honest old men from nearby villagers who had been doing the digging business for 20 to 30 years.
"Be careful! Move gently!"
"Hey, boss, your coffin is not light."
The two old men carefully placed the urn into the grave.
"This is made of good quality solid wood, so it's a little heavy. Could you two please work harder, and I'll get you a good cigarette later." I said,
"Ouch! My boss said something harsh, as it should be."
I heard that they were also offered a cigarette, but the two old men refused on the surface, but could not hide the smiles on their faces.
"I don't see any other relatives or friends coming. Master, it's just you?"
I said yes. We two brothers depended on each other for life. Both of our parents died when we were young, so we have no relatives.
"Hey, it's not easy in today's society."
The old man looked at the photo of Bean Sprouts posted on the tombstone and sighed: "It's such a pity that you are so young. You have a good journey, young man."
I watched the grave being filled with shovel after shovel.
Get it back in the car I gave someone a cigarette, and the two old men couldn't help but thank me after putting away their cigarettes. Seeing the sad look on my face, they shook their heads and sighed, then left with their shovels.
After they left, I wiped away my tears and pretended to burn paper money.
As a result, I was so burned that I couldn't help but laugh.
I looked at the photo of Dou Sprout on the tombstone and said, "Rest in peace, reincarnate as soon as possible, and be a good person in your next life."
After saying that, I lit three sticks of incense and placed them next to Lu Ziming's tombstone.
No one knows what's in the urn except myself.
Unless he doesn't want to use the cemetery anymore, he won't be able to move it. They patrol it 24 hours a day and won't let anyone else move it.
Two and a half days later.
"Hi hi."
In the Ecstasy Forest, I held my hand on a tree and gasped for air. Compared to the city, the altitude in the mountains was too high, and I was still a little uncomfortable.
After breathing for a few minutes, I continued on my way.
After passing the watchtower and walking west for more than ten miles, we arrived at our camp, the Xiwu'er ruins area.
Where are people?
Where have everyone gone?
When I got here, I didn't see a single tent. Do they all live in stone houses?
"Head!"
"Brother Yu! Xiaoxuan!"
I ran into the stone houses one by one to look for them.
Still no one was seen, and the fire on the ground had long been extinguished.
wrong
If the leader moves the camp and I haven't come back yet, he will definitely leave a message and guidance for me.
But why did they move the camp? This place has not been surveyed yet, there must be something there.
I searched carefully again.
Finally, I saw a line of small words written on the wall in a stone house.
