Chapter 0701 – Ten Thousand Family Buddhas
“Wazi, this cigarette do not a few dollars a pack of it?”
The old Li head of the young time to see the Chinese cigarettes, when the village secretary, but never seen again, said to go to the township meeting, smoking is a few dollars a packet of hospitality cigarettes, usually in the home, that is, the paper rolled tobacco smoke.
In the room, there is a working student outside, after receiving Zhuang Rui’s cigarettes, has not been willing to light, heard the words of the old head of Li, could not help but “puff” a laugh, said: “Old Uncle Li, you have not seen, right? This is sixty or seventy dollars a pack of it!”
“What did you say? Sixty to seventy dollars a pack?”
When Old Li heard this, he quickly snuffed out the already lit cigarettes, put them in his hand and looked them over and over for a while, and said, “You’re a kid, aren’t you talking nonsense? This cigarette is the same as the one I smoked at the meeting in the town, at most it’s a few dollars.”
“Old Uncle Li, don’t care how much the cigarettes cost, the old aunt’s cooking is really delicious, this hundred dollars will be our several people’s meal money.”
After the meal was finished, Zhuang Rui didn’t want to stay here, otherwise when the police arrived in a while, he was afraid that he wouldn’t even be able to see those artifacts.
Old Li head saw Zhuang Rui pull out money, his face can not help but change, pick up the hundred dollars, to Zhuang Rui hand, mouth said: “can not, can not, fried a few eggs, which is worth so much money ah!”
“Old Uncle Li, you take it! Don’t you want to eat wild game tomorrow? That thing in the city sells old expensive, this is as a meal money.”
After Zhuang Rui came to this small mountain village and saw these simple rural people, the trace of impatience in his heart disappeared, and he also had a new understanding of Boss Yu and the others.
From the conversation during the meal just now, Zhuang Rui had already heard out that the reason why Boss Yu was so familiar with the people in the village was because of the Hope Primary School in this village.
This Hope Primary School, was built by Boss Yu and a local from this village whose nickname was Er Dogzi, together with donations.
Of course, Zhuang Rui heart did not think, Yu Boss will be so kind, take out hundreds of thousands of dollars to build the school, if self correctly guessed, Yu Boss purpose, is to want to set up a stronghold to hide cultural relics here.
Zhuang Rui guessed correctly, the facts basically match what he imagined.
Boss Yu in more than ten years ago, met this village to work outside a person, that is, the village of the second dog, the second dog’s name is called Li Invincible, perhaps his parents miss the ancestors in the battlefield invincible, only to give him this name right?
But Li Wouwu enemy is more alternative, since childhood is not willing to planting, all day idle, in the parents of the old man after the death of anger, all day to steal chickens and dogs, to the end of the village can not be mixed up, only pat ass out to work to earn money.
Later, the boss of the Yu Li invincible absorbed into their own tomb raiding gang, together with a lot of cases, is also considered a core member of the gang.
Once the Li family village scourge of the two dogs, at that time, but the clothes return to his hometown, in the Zhuangli big three-day banquet, and to the villagers before their own scourge of those villagers, very sincere apologies, sent a lot of value of the gift, which allows the simple villagers, at once re-accepted has become a big boss of the two dogs.
As the saying goes, a sly rabbit has three holes, Boss Yu is suspicious by nature, not only has he set up two landing points in the city to place antiques in addition to the village, but he has also lived in this village for up to a year.
The identity of Boss Yu, however, is the second dog’s partner in business, due to physical discomfort, need a quiet place to recuperate, only to come to the Li Village to live for a period of time.
With Boss Yu’s means, after more than a year, these simple villagers who have enlisted him, all look at Boss Yu as one of their own, and Yu Zhenping has also lived here for more than half a year, so he is familiar with these villagers as well.
At the foot of this mountain, originally there is no family, according to legend, is the end of the Ming Dynasty Li Yan was Li Zicheng poisoned, Li Yan and the descendants of the Red Queen, came here to live in seclusion, it is named Li Jia Village.
Perhaps afraid of being found by the soldiers, Li Jia Village is like an isolated paradise, until the Republic of China period, only contact with the outside world, after the liberation of the official name, into the government’s planning.
Originally in order to develop the tourism resources of Mount Funiu, the local government is trying to build a road to Lijia Village, but then the policy changed to protect the primitive ecology, the repair of the road has been shelved.
Seven or eight years ago, the Li family village, poverty is unimaginable, the village branch secretary to go to town for a meeting, have to sit for five or six hours of cattle and horse-drawn carts, basically is a year to run a three or five trips, for a little bit of wood, rice, oil, salt, vinegar and tea back.
As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, first fix the road, no road, Li’s village has been so poor, to go to school to run dozens of kilometers, some people just want to let the children go to school, but also no conditions, so the village children, basically are illiterate a word.
Yu boss came here, first with the name of the two dogs, took 100,000 yuan, paved a barely passable road to, and then took out hundreds of thousands of dollars, built a hope elementary school, and got the recognition of the higher government, arranged down the teacher.
It can be said that the two dogs and Yu boss, to the village has brought about sweeping changes, that is, the old Li head of the family’s 21-inch color TV, but also the Yu boss gift, the name is naturally to enrich the rural amateur life.
In this way, the two dogs and Yu boss, the status of the village is soaring, even higher than the old branch secretary, the villagers are close to the two as the Buddha to provide up.
The two dogs and the school at the same time the construction of the two-story building, although the villagers feel envious, but not so conspicuous, others to the village built a four-story school, their own building a two-story building, that is naturally a matter of course.
In previous years, Yu boss every year in the name of health care, to live here for a month or two, Yu old eight basically accompanied to come.
Over time, the village people do not take them as outsiders, that is, every year and a half years no one lives, no one to hit the idea of the house, and these villagers also know that the house in addition to some broken copper and iron, and there are no other objects.
Just these villagers do not know, their eyes of these so-called Wanjia Sheng Buddha, in their leisure time, will be their ancestors’ tombs are dug all over, panning out a lot of the end of the Ming Dynasty armor weapon thing, will be what kind of a mood?
“Old Uncle Li, why are you still polite with me? Boss Zhuang is a big boss, bigger than my big brother, give you money and take it!”
Yu Zhenping also wanted to make an early deal with Zhuang Rui, and when he saw that Old Uncle Li repeatedly pushed and refused to take the money, he spoke up and persuaded.
“Then …… then I’ll take it, Dazhuang, hurry up and bring people up the mountain to put down the sets, and tomorrow I’ll shoot the wild boar so I can entertain the guests.”
Under Yu Zhenping’s persuasion, Old Li Tou finally accepted the one hundred dollars, and after sending Zhuang Rui and the others to the door, he said to Yu Zhenping, “Xiaobachi ah! Let the second dog son have time to go home to see, this is almost two years of time, also do not know to come back to his parents on a grave.”
After Yu Zhenping heard Old Li Tou’s words, his body jolted and said somewhat unnaturally, “Old Uncle Li, I know, this time when I go back, I will give Brother Er Dog this matter, or wait for a period of time, let’s pull up the phone line, you old yourself to scold him a few times.”
Others do not know, Yu Zhenping heart is clear, this second dog Li Wuxi, long gone from the earth.
The year before last, after Yu Laoliu lost the deal in Guangdong, the two dogs and other people had the intention to retreat, find the Yu boss, want to split the money earned over the years, and then go far away, and the Yu boss is on that Tang Dynasty Imperial Tombs of the thieves, the two failed to negotiate, and then moved to kill.
Yu Zhenping that year, but saw with their own eyes, Yu boss drugged in the wine, the two dogs and other people drunk, one by one, personally strangled them to death, and their bodies, but also as a piece of peach forest fertilizer.
This is also the main reason why the police failed to trace the Li family village, because in addition to Boss Yu and Erdogzi, only Yu Zhenping knew about this place.
At this moment, when Old Li Tou mentioned Er Dogzi, even if Yu Zhenping was bold, he still felt a coldness at the back of his neck and his scalp tingled, as if he had seen that day again.
Taking the flashlight from Old Li Tou’s house, Yu Laobai’s footsteps obviously accelerated, leading Zhuang Rui through the silent village to the door of the small two-story building.
Yu Zhenping took out a bunch of keys from his waist, and after opening the iron gate of the courtyard, he greeted Zhuang Rui and the two of them and walked in.
Into the courtyard, Yu Zhenping did not know where to pull the switch, a light bulb hanging above the courtyard, suddenly lit up, through the light Zhuang Rui can see, in the courtyard around the corner of the wall without a concrete floor, has been full of weeds.
Yu Zhenping stood in the courtyard and did not rush to open the door of the hall, but looked at Zhuang Rui and said, “Boss Zhuang, do you want to look at the tripod first, or do you want to look at the smaller objects first?”
Zhuang Rui somewhat did not understand Yu Zhenping’s meaning, but still said, “Of course it’s the tripod first, Boss Ren, this is what we agreed on, without this heavy artifact, if it’s just those small objects, I’m just too lazy to run this trip!”
“Good, then let’s look at the bronze tripod first.”
Yu Zhenping nodded, greeted Zhuang Rui, and walked towards a small room against the root of the wall on the east side of the courtyard.
This should be the kitchen, but there wasn’t any cooking utensils in it except for a stove and a brick counter for dishes, Zhuang Rui was a bit confused as to what Yu Zhenping meant 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 tapped on it with his hand.
