"Come here, why are you buying wine? You have contracted orchards in the past few years, but you have lost a lot of money, right?"
The second uncle Yu Ku mentioned was about sixty years old, short, with wrinkles on his face. He was holding a long dry pipe in his hand and was smoking.
"No, second uncle, you also know that I have been working for so many years, I have saved a little money, and sold all the valuable things at home, so that I can get enough money to contract the orchard, but today Bigfoot Sister-in-law
Those archaeologists are going to dig up the trees in the garden, how can I survive..."
As soon as Yu Ku entered the door, he complained about his misfortune. He squatted on the edge of the threshold, rubbed his eyes with dirty hands, and looked pitiful.
"Well, don't worry, kid. Si'er's wife just came to tell me about this, but others haven't dug it yet. Don't worry, even if they want to touch your orchard, they will compensate you.
, didn’t Ermao’s uncle’s melon field in the east also lose thousands of dollars?”
Liu Zhishu took a puff of cigarette and knocked the cigarette butt several times on the edge of the table. All the burned ash fell to the ground.
"Second uncle, I spent tens of thousands on my garden. It looks like it will bear fruit in two months, but the melon field can't compare..."
Boss Yu took out a pack of crumpled Golden Monkey cigarettes from his pocket, stood up and offered one to Liu Zhishu.
"Why don't you understand? The price of a melon field is the price of a melon field, and the price of an orchard is the price of an orchard. How can the village make you suffer? They haven't come to me yet. They have been busy with long hair these days.
Let’s talk about it after this matter is over…”
Liu Zhishu did not take the cigarette from Mr. Yu, but grabbed a handful of loose tobacco from the tobacco bag, stuffed it into the pot and pressed it firmly, then lit it with a match.
The Party Secretary Liu and Liu Changfa are also somewhat related. Liu Changfa was the first person in Liujiazhuang to be admitted to university in so many years. In ancient times, he would have been the number one scholar. Because of this, Liujiazhuang spoke a little louder in Qilibagou.
The wife I married is from the city, so the village is ready to take care of it. He, as the branch secretary, is the commander-in-chief.
After getting the confidence, Boss Yu chatted a few words with Secretary Liu, and then turned around and left happily. When he went out, there was a look of pride in his eyes. After Liu Changfa got married, he would have left long ago.
…
Professor Meng and the others rented a large courtyard with four rooms. The original owner moved to a relative's house for the rent of 800 yuan a month. One room was for the little girl to sleep in, and the other room was for the little girl to sleep in.
One room belongs to Professor Meng, and there are two rooms left. Xiao Fan and Ying Ning originally lived in one room each, but after Zhuang Rui arrived, they squeezed in together, leaving a room for Zhuang Rui.
Liu Changfa had someone deliver the dinner for the evening. After he learned that Professor Meng would be Zhuang Rui's future mentor, he also came to visit him. However, he, the groom, had too many things to do, so he was called to his door without saying a few words.
Pulled away.
"Grandma, how can people sleep like this?"
It's not hot at night in the countryside, but there are so many mosquitoes that Zhuang Rui can't stand it. The white lion has thick fur on its body, so he's not afraid of it. However, within a few minutes of Zhuang Rui lying down, he was bitten by seven or eight bags on his body, which made him feel numb and itchy.
Tolerate.
Zhuang Rui ran to the rooms of several other people and saw that they all had mosquito nets. Zhuang Rui had no choice but to go to the car to spend the night and buy mosquito nets tomorrow.
"Youngest, can't you sleep?"
When he was about to sneak out of the yard with the white lion, Liu Changfa walked in, followed by a man. However, because it was getting late and there were no street lights in the countryside, Zhuang Rui did not see the man's face clearly.
Zhuang Rui said truthfully: "There are too many mosquitoes and I can't sleep. I'll go to the car to make do."
"Let's go to your house and I'll help you get rid of the mosquitoes."
The third child raised his hand with a smile, and Zhuang Rui found that he was holding a handful of hay in his right hand and a basket in his left hand.
What makes Zhuang Rui a little strange is that the third child did not introduce him to the person following him, and that person did not say hello to Zhuang Rui. After entering the courtyard, he walked directly to the room where Professor Meng lived and knocked on the door.
Then walked in.
Zhuang Rui didn't have time to care about what that person did. He was dragged back to his room by the third child. The third child closed the windows and everything, then found a brazier, lit the hay in his hand and threw it away.
After entering, a thick smoke suddenly rose up. The third child quickly pulled Zhuang Rui out of the house and turned back to close the door tightly.
"Third brother, what kind of grass is this?" Zhuang Rui could guess that this thing should be used to smoke mosquitoes, but apart from mosquito coils, this was the first time he had seen grass used to smoke mosquitoes.
"Haha, this thing is called mugwort. We in the countryside didn't have mosquito-repellent incense before, and we couldn't afford it, so we just used this thing. It's better than mosquito-repellent incense, and it doesn't cost money. You can grab a lot of it by the roadside. In summer,
Every house dried them to smoke mosquitoes."
The third child returned to the yard, took out the contents of the basket, and placed them on the stone platform in the middle of the yard. There were some cooked food and a few bottles of beer.
"Youngest, third brother, I'm sorry for you this time. I'm really too busy. If I can't wait until tomorrow, you should go to the county town to stay. There is a guest house there and the conditions are acceptable."
This time Zhuang Rui came, the third child felt a little embarrassed. When he went to Guangdong some time ago, he stayed in a hotel and ate in a restaurant, but when he came to his place, he couldn't even arrange a place to sleep.
"Third brother, don't say such unreasonable things. Neither Wei Wei nor I have lived in the countryside. This is a good experience. It's good to live here. Okay, I'll call those two boys out for a drink."
Zhuang Rui waved his hand. He was speaking from his heart. It was the first time he had lived in a rural area. Zhuang Rui stood up and called out Xiao Fan and Ying Ning. The little girl Meng Qiuqian also came out to join in the fun.
, but the door of Professor Meng's room was always closed, and the voices of two people could be heard faintly. It was not known who the person was, or what they were discussing with Professor Meng.
…
Professor Meng sat upright in his chair, shook his head repeatedly, and said to the people in front of him: "No, we can't let them enter the tomb before you do anything. That will cause immeasurable damage to Wenzong's Mausoleum."
"Mr. Meng, we have been following this gang for a long time. However, the gang members are relatively scattered and rarely gather together. If they are not eliminated all, I don't know how many national treasures will be smuggled abroad by them, which will cause endless harm...
"
The middle-aged man tried hard to explain to Professor Meng. His name was Chen Zhi, and he was a deputy director of the Anti-Smuggling Division of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department. He was responsible for cracking down on smuggling. He was the one who solved the huge cultural relic smuggling case of Ma Ta Fei Yan.
of.
As early as three years ago, the Guangdong police uncovered several cases of smuggling national treasures and cultural relics, but failed to catch the main culprit. Not at that time, Boss Yu had come into Chen Zhi's sight. After careful and rigorous investigation, Chen Zhi almost
It can be concluded that the disheveled Yu Ku in this village is the powerful Boss Yu outside.
It's just that in the past few years, Boss Yu has not made any changes, and there is insufficient evidence in Chen Zhi's hands. In addition, their tomb robbery gang rarely gathers together, so the middle-aged man has not taken action against him. This time Guangdong seized
"That is your police matter. I only care that Wenzong's tomb is not damaged. Xiao Chen, this is the first tomb of a Tang Dynasty emperor that the country is planning to excavate, and it is also planning to build a palace here for tourists to visit. It is of great significance.
, the underground mausoleum must not suffer any damage."
Professor Meng's job is to protect Wenzong's tomb from being destroyed by criminals. As for other things, that is not within the scope of the old man's consideration. Professor Meng had already cooperated with the police when they excavated the worthless burial pit.
, but this time we have to wait until the tomb robbers enter the tomb before arresting them, which Professor Meng cannot accept under any circumstances.
Due to the differences in geographical environment and historical inheritance between the north and the south, the tombs in the south and the north are also different, which also divides tomb robbers into two factions, the north and the south. The southern faction is more skilled in tomb robbers. In the process of searching for ancient tombs, they have to use Feng Shui and Kanyu.
More importantly, it pays attention to looking, hearing, asking, and understanding.
"Looking" naturally refers to Feng Shui, and smelling relies on the difference in smell to distinguish whether there are tombs. Some friends will say, isn't this nonsense? Can a person have a dog nose? However, this sounds mysterious, but it is
It is based on certain facts.
The fillings and fillers in tombs in the past dynasties are different, so the tombs will also emit different smells. For example, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, tombs were often poured with mercury and buried with cinnabar for antisepsis. However, after the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was customary to apply green plaster on the outside of the tombs.
The smell emitted by special substances may be difficult for ordinary people to detect, but those tomb robbers who have made a living by robbing tombs for generations can keenly identify these smells and further determine the location of the tomb.
There was a Guangzhou native named Jiao Si, a representative figure of the Southern School. He was very good at finding tombs. He could judge the location of tombs by listening to the wind and rain, hearing the sound of thunder, and observing the color of grass and mud marks.
Once, Jiao Si and his gang of tomb robbers were looking for tombs in the wild. It was noon, and there was lightning and thunder in the sky. Jiao Si immediately asked his men to disperse and go to different directions to observe the thunderstorm and lightning, and remember the characteristics later.
Report to him, while Jiao Si himself stood on a high place and watched the geomantic omen.
After the rain stopped for a while, a person came back and reported to him that during the thunder, he felt something floating under his feet, and there were echoes from the ground. Jiao Si immediately judged that there was an ancient tomb there, and it was a large tomb.
After a group of tomb robbers excavated the tomb, it turned out to be the tomb of a prince from the Han Dynasty.
In this process, Jiao Si used the two techniques of "looking" and "cutting" in the southern tomb robbing.
Friends, don’t think this is nonsense. Feng Shui can be used to search for tombs. This has been verified countless times and is often based on a lot of facts. This is also the foundation of the southern tomb robbers.
The northern sect of tomb robbers is an extensive type. Their most striking feature is the tools they use. Among the northern sect of tomb robbers, few people determine the location of tombs based on Feng Shui theory. They believe more in... It is the Luoyang shovel in the hand, so some people say that the Luoyang shovel is the symbol of the Northern School of tomb robbing.
In addition, sharp axes are also one of the common tools in the northern sect. They are used when digging tombs. Especially for the large tombs with "Huang Chang Ti Cou" in the Han Dynasty, sharp axes are indispensable tools.
In addition, when archaeologists excavate tombs, they often find chisels, rakes, pickaxes, shovels, sickles and other items in previously stolen tombs. These are all tools used by northern tomb robbers to steal and excavate tombs.
Whether it is searching for tombs or excavating tombs, the northern faction has no technical content and simply relies on sharp tools, so it is called extensive, which is also looked down upon by the southern tomb robbers.
For people like Mr. Yu, when they excavate tombs, they basically use an ax or a chisel to open up the tomb chamber after digging through the robbery hole. Explosives are also often used.
Compared with the northern and southern factions, the northern faction's tomb robbers destroyed tombs more seriously and thoroughly, so Professor Meng firmly disagreed with Chen Zhi's opinion and waited for the tomb robbers to succeed before arresting them in one fell swoop.
Chen Zhi had no choice but to deal with Professor Meng's stubbornness. After all, Professor Meng was an expert who received special allowances from the State Council and was not something he could instigate. If the old man insisted on excavating Wenzong's tomb, he would not be able to stop him. In that case, It will definitely alert the snake.
"Mr. Meng, do you think this will work? Give us another two days to set up the net. The day after tomorrow, we will definitely bring these criminals to justice."
Chen Zhi and the others have already mastered some information about this tomb robbery gang, and analyzed that they have not yet opened the tomb and entered the tomb chamber. However, according to their judgment, Boss Yu and others should take action within the next few days. So Chen Zhi made a guarantee to Professor Meng.
…
On the second day, Professor Meng and others still took a group of old ladies from the village to the excavation site as usual, but Zhuang Rui couldn't leave today because both Weibo and Laosi arrived today, and he came Morning, I was entrusted with the reception task by the third child.
Wei Wei and Laosi had never lived in the countryside. They followed Zhuang Rui to the melon field and visited the archaeological excavation site. The day passed quickly. Naturally, the two of them lived with Zhuang Rui at night, but they slept on the ground. Two more mats would be convenient.
On the day of Liu Changfa's wedding, Zhuang Rui's car was used to pick up the bride, and Weiwei pretended to be the best man. It was another busy day. The third child's wedding was considered a happy event in Liujiazhuang, and there were also relatives in the nearby villages. Many people came to celebrate, and together with the bride's family, Liujiazhuang suddenly had many new faces.
As night gradually approached, the flowing banquets at Liu Changfa's house were still being served, and there was an endless stream of guests coming and going at the head of the village. At this moment, three people, two tall and one short, took advantage of the moonlight and quietly walked back from the back of the village. The mountain slipped away.
