Chapter 700: Thousands of families are born Buddha
"My dear, don't these cigarettes cost several yuan a pack?"
Old Li Tou had seen Chinese cigarettes when he was young, but after he became the village party secretary, he had never seen them again. When he went to meetings in towns and villages, he only smoked hospitality cigarettes that cost a few yuan a pack. Usually at home,
, that is, tobacco leaves rolled into paper and smoked.
There was a young man in the room who had worked outside. After taking Zhuang Rui's cigarette, he was reluctant to light it. After hearing what Old Li Tou said, he couldn't help but burst out laughing and said: "Old Uncle Li, you
Don’t you know? This costs sixty or seventy yuan per pack..."
"What are you talking about? Sixty or seventy yuan a pack?"
When Lao Li heard this, he quickly put out the lit cigarette, turned it over in his hand for a while, and said: "You kid, aren't you talking nonsense? I smoked this cigarette at a meeting in town.
It’s the same, at most it’s several yuan…”
"Old Uncle Li, don't worry about how much these cigarettes cost. The food cooked by my aunt is so delicious. This hundred yuan will be considered as food money for the few of us..."
After the meal was over, Zhuang Rui didn't want to stay here anymore, otherwise he might not even be able to see the cultural relics when the police arrived.
When Old Li Tou saw Zhuang Rui taking out the money, his expression changed. He picked up the 100 yuan and stuffed it into Zhuang Rui's hand. He said, "No way, no way. How can a few scrambled eggs be worth so much?"
Money..."
"Uncle Li, take it, don't you want to eat game tomorrow? That stuff is very expensive in the city, so just use this as food money..."
After Zhuang Rui came to this small mountain village and saw these simple rural people, the impetuousness in his heart disappeared, and he also gained a new understanding of people like Boss Yu and others.
From the conversation during the meal, Zhuang Rui had already heard that the reason why Yu Laoba was so familiar with the people in the village was because of the Hope Primary School in the village.
This Hope Primary School was built with donations from Mr. Yu and a local named Ergouzi from this village.
Of course, Zhuang Rui didn't think that Boss Yu would be so kind and spend hundreds of thousands to build a school. If he guessed correctly, Boss Yu's purpose was to establish a stronghold to hide cultural relics here.
Zhuang Rui's guess was correct, and the facts were basically consistent with his imagination.
More than ten years ago, Boss Yu met a man who went out to work in this village, Ergouzi from this village. Ergouzi's nickname was Li Wudi. Perhaps his parents missed their ancestors who were invincible on the battlefield.
, just gave him this name, right?
However, Li Wudi is a different kind. He has been unwilling to farm since he was a child. He has been idle all day long. After making his parents angry to death, he has been stealing all day long. In the end, he can no longer survive in the village, so he goes out to work to make money.
.
Later, Boss Yu recruited Li Wudi into his tomb-robbing gang, and they did many cases together, and he was considered a core member of the gang.
Ergouzi, who once caused great harm to Lijia Village, returned home in fine clothes at that time. He held a banquet in the village for three days, and he sincerely apologized and sent gifts to the villagers he had harmed in the past.
The priceless gift made the simple villagers immediately accept Ergouzi, who had become the big boss, again.
As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three holes. Boss Yu was suspicious by nature. Not only did he set up two places to store antiques in the city, he also lived in this village for up to a year.
As for Boss Yu, he is Ergouzi's business partner. He came to Lijiacun to live for a while because he was feeling unwell and needed a quiet place to recuperate.
With Boss Yu's methods, after more than a year, these simple villagers who have been won over all regard Boss Yu as one of their own. Yu Zhenping has also lived here for more than half a year, so he is very close to these villagers.
familiar.
There was originally no family at the foot of Funiu Mountain. According to legend, after Li Yan was poisoned by Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty, the descendants of Li Yan and the Red Lady came here to live in seclusion, so it was named Lijiacun.
Perhaps because of the fear of being found by officers and soldiers, Lijia Village was like an isolated paradise. It was not until the Republic of China that it came into contact with the outside world. It was only after liberation that it was officially named and included in government planning.
Originally, in order to develop the tourism resources of Funiu Mountain, the local government wanted to build a road in Lijia Village. However, later the policy changed and the original ecology was to be protected, so the road construction was shelved.
Seven or eight years ago, Lijia Village was so impoverished that it was unimaginable that the village party secretary had to take a five- to six-hour ox-carriage ride to go to the town for a meeting. Basically, he made three or five trips a year to exchange for some firewood, rice, oil and salt.
Sauce and vinegar tea is back.
As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. If there are no roads, Lijia Village has always been so poor. You have to travel dozens of kilometers to go to school. Some people just want their children to go to school, but they don’t have the conditions, so the children in the village basically
They are all written in Chinese characters and I don’t know any of them.
After Boss Yu came here, he first took 100,000 yuan in the name of Ergouzi and paved a road that was barely open to traffic. Then he spent hundreds of thousands more to build a Hope Primary School and received approval from his superiors.
With the government's recognition, teachers were assigned.
It can be said that Er Gouzi and Boss Yu have brought earth-shaking changes to the village. Even the 21-inch color TV in Lao Li Tou's home was also a gift from Boss Yu. Naturally, it is intended to enrich rural amateur life.
As a result, the status of Er Gouzi and Mr. Yu in the village has increased, and their prestige is even higher than that of the old party secretary. The villagers almost regard them as the Buddhas of all families.
The two-story building built by Ergouzi and the school at the same time, although it made the villagers feel envious, is not so conspicuous. Others built a four-story school for the village, and I built a two-story building. Then
It's natural.
In the past few years, Mr. Yu would stay here for a month or two every year in the name of recuperating his health, and Mr. Yu would basically accompany him.
Over time, the villagers no longer regarded them as outsiders. Even if no one lived in it for a year and a half, no one had any idea of that house. Moreover, these villagers also knew that there were only some scraps of metal in that house.
Apart from that, there are no other objects.
It's just that these villagers don't know that these so-called Buddhas from thousands of families in their eyes dug up all the tombs of their ancestors in their free time, and found out many relics from the late Ming Dynasty.
How would you feel about armor and weapons?
…
"Old Uncle Li, why are you so polite to me? Boss Zhuang is a big boss, a boss bigger than my eldest brother. Just take the money you are given..."
Yu Zhenping also wanted to trade with Zhuang Rui as soon as possible, but when he saw Lao Litou repeatedly giving in and refusing to ask for money, he tried to persuade him.
"Then...I'll take it, Da Zhuang, hurry up and take the people up the mountain to get the condoms. We'll hunt wild boars tomorrow to entertain the guests..."
Under Yu Zhenping's persuasion, Lao Li Tou finally accepted the 100 yuan. After sending Zhuang Rui and others to the door, he said to Yu Zhenping: "Xiao Ba, let Er Gouzi come back when he has time."
Look, it’s been almost two years, and I don’t know if I’ll come back to pay his parents a grave..."
After hearing what Old Li Tou said, Yu Zhenping's body shook violently, and he said unnaturally: "Old Uncle Li, I understand. I will tell Brother Ergou about this when I go back this time. Otherwise, it will take some time."
, let’s pull up the phone line, and you’ll have to scold him..."
Others didn't know it, but Yu Zhenping knew clearly in his heart that this little bitch Li Wudi was no longer alive.
After Yu Laoliu's transaction failed in Guangdong the year before last, Er Gouzi and others had the intention of quitting. They found Boss Yu and wanted to divide the money they had earned over the years and then fly away. Boss Yu was obsessed with the Tang Dynasty imperial mausoleum.
The evil spirit persisted, and they failed to reach an agreement for two times, so they became murderous.
Yu Zhenping saw with his own eyes that Boss Yu drugged the wine, made Er Gouzi and others drunk, and strangled them to death one by one with his own hands, and their bodies were regarded as the peach forest.
of fertilizer.
This is also the main reason why the police failed to trace Lijiacun, because apart from Boss Yu and Ergouzi, only Yu Zhenping knew about it.
At this moment, Lao Li mentioned Er Gouzi. Even though he was brave after the shock, he still felt a chill on the back of his neck and his scalp was numb, as if he had seen the scene that day again.
Holding the flashlight from Lao Li Tou's house, Yu Laoba sped up significantly and led Zhuang Rui through the silent village to the door of the two-story building.
Yu Zhenping took out a bunch of keys from his waist, opened the iron gate of the courtyard, and called Zhuang Rui and the others in.
Entering the yard, Yu Zhenping pulled the switch somewhere, and a light bulb hanging above the yard suddenly lit up. Zhuang Rui could see through the light that there were already overgrown trees in the corners around the yard where there was no concrete floor.
Weeds.
Yu Zhenping stood in the yard, not in a hurry to open the door of the hall, but looked at Zhuang Rui and said: "Boss Zhuang, do you want to see the tripod first, or the smaller objects first?"
Zhuang Rui didn't understand what Yu Zhenping meant, but he still said: "Of course, let's see the tripod first. Boss Ren, this is what we agreed. Without such a heavy weapon and only those small items, I would be too lazy to come here.
Just a trip..."
"Okay, let's take a look at the bronze tripod first..."
Yu Zhenping nodded, greeted Zhuang Rui, and walked towards a small room against the wall in the east of the yard.
This should be the kitchen, but apart from a stove and a brick table for placing dishes and chopsticks, there is no one cooking. Zhuang Rui is a little confused about what Yu Zhenping means by bringing him here.
?
Yu Zhenping didn't say anything. After entering the house, he immediately walked to the brick platform that was more than one meter above the ground and started beating on it with his hands.
