After the appearance of the black wooden box, the atmosphere in the field became oppressive.

When the old people saw things and thought about people, they reflected on it one after another, and they couldn't help but cry.

The young people quietly observed the field, and did not dare to speak loudly.

Gu Meng glanced around and sighed: "Let him pass the past, it's a new era, everyone look forward!"

"Gu Meng is right, everyone is old, and they will all be harmonious in the future, so look forward to everything!" Secretary Yuan sighed.

"Brothers, brothers!"

Han Defu stood up and said: "We have hurt Brother Gu by ghosts, if we don't want to go, we will go to Brother Gu's grave to put incense on the pillar afterwards, and admit your mistake!"

"As it should be!"

"We should have been mistaken!"

The old people in the house wiped their tears and nodded their heads again and again.

Zhao Laohan bit his cheeks, a mouthful of blood in his chest, and he endured it, and his face turned a little pale.

"Gu Meng, open the box quickly!"

"yes, what's in the box?"

Zhang Yichi and a few other classmates couldn't wait and shouted loudly outside the house.

"Okay!"

Gu Meng nodded, took the black wooden box from the wall and put it on the table.

This wooden box is made of pine wood, which has been placed in the cracks of the wall for nearly 30 years, and there are no insects or cracks, and it is still very strong.

There is another small lock on the lid and bottom of the box, an old-fashioned iron lock, and the lock has been corroded.

He twisted it slightly, and with a click, the lever broke.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the wooden box with wide eyes.

"Gu Meng, open it quickly!" someone urged.

Gu Meng smiled slightly and slowly lifted the lid of the box.

"Silver dollars?"

"Yuan Datou?"

"Just a box of silver dollars?"

The treasure of the Gu family finally appeared.

The people inside and outside the house all showed incredible expressions, the Gu family's treasure that had been passed down for decades should at least be a box of gold bars, or jewelry, bracelets, headdresses or something, how could it be a box of dusty silver dollars?

Silver dollar this thing, most people have one or two at home, every Qingming New Year, will burn paper money to the ancestors, but the fire paper can not burn white sheets, you need to use silver dollars to stamp on the fire paper, a hundred pieces of fire paper a bunch, on the top of the fire paper marked horizontal three vertical four, twelve money seals, it is said that in the underworld this fire paper is hard currency.

Someone in town sells silver dollars, two dollars a piece, how much is this small box worth?

Can this also be considered a treasure?

After selling these silver dollars, I couldn't even make up enough money for thirty tables of wine.

The people outside the house pouted, and to be honest, a box of silver dollars was far less attractive than the plate of stir-fried pork liver on the table!

There was no excitement to see, everyone returned to the table, ate a lot, and if they didn't eat, the good wine and food were eaten up by others.

The older generation in the house had a secret fever on their faces, and when they followed Zhao Laohan to deal with the Gu family, weren't they just money fans, thinking that they could get a piece of the pie?

The treasure is just a few silver dollars, why did you rob it in the first place?

Hey, confused!

"Why is Brother Gu hiding it?

An old man sighed deeply.

yes, why don't you hand over this box of silver dollars?

Is it worth dying for a box of silver dollars?

Gu Meng didn't understand either, why would grandpa rather die than tell the matter of the box?

"Is there anything else in there?"

With curiosity, Gu Meng took out the silver dollars from the box, ten stacks, and placed nineteen stacks on the table.

As Zhao Jia said, there are a total of 189 silver dollars.

"There's something at the bottom of the box?"

When the silver dollar was taken out, there was a clear oil-paper bag spread flat at the bottom of the box.

Everyone came to their senses in an instant, and the people eating outside heard the movement and ran into the hall again, the people in front stretched their necks, and the people in the back kept asking the people in front of them, what else was in the box?

Immediately, Gu Meng opened the oiled paper bag and took out the thin thing from the box, satisfying everyone's curiosity.

"It's a letter!"

Yes, a yellowed envelope.

There was no writing on the envelope, I don't know where it came from, and I don't know who it was addressed to.

Gu Meng gently opened the envelope and took out a stack of letter paper from inside, with a total of eight pages.

It was pressed under the silver dollar for a long time, and the letter paper was glued together.

He turned the first page and read softly:

"Abba, I'm Zhenming, I'm not dead, after the defeat of the national army in 49, I withdrew to Xiangjiang with the army... Abba, how are you, how is Grandma, how is Brother, how is everything at home?..."

Gu Meng read and read, he couldn't read it anymore, he looked at the letter and couldn't cry.

This is a letter from the second uncle Gu Zhenming, the second uncle said that he is all right, settled in Xiangjiang, and got married, but the situation between the two places has been very tense, he can not come back to his grandfather as soon as possible to fulfill his filial piety, he said that Xiangjiang is very good, and when Xiangjiang returns, he will take the whole family over, and the family will be reunited, and the beauty of harmony.

The letter said a lot, and it was inconvenient to travel between the two places, and this letter was sent by the second uncle after contacting an old friend from the past, and sent it through an underground relationship, and asked the grandfather to read it and burn it as soon as possible.

In the years since the 'Vespa case', more than 100 million letters have been burned across the country, because leaving letters is leaving behind scourge.

No one knows what the grandfather thinks, and no one knows what a father thinks, but after reading his son's letter, he actually collected it.

At that time, such a letter from Xiangjiang was not a normal channel, and if it was discovered, the consequences would be very serious.

So the stubborn old man would rather die than tell the whereabouts of the treasure.

He thought that if he died, his family would be safe, and he thought that if he died, the letter would be saved.

But everything was not what he imagined.

The ruin of the Gu family may be because of this letter.

Gu Meng looked at Zhao Laohan with red eyes, Zhao Laohan must have seen the letter in his previous life, right? It's just that he didn't say it, he must be worried that Gu Zhenming will come back to take revenge, right?

It's a pity that Gu Zhenming never came back in his previous life, or he came back, Gu Meng didn't know?

When Gu Meng saw the address on the letter, he really wanted to go to the distant Xiangjiang River to have a look, and see if the second uncle had become a king or a turtle?

"Gu Meng!"

Zhao Jia cried and shouted.

Gu Meng's eyes were red, his face was full of anger, he was like a tiger who wanted to devour people, he was very dangerous, and the people around him were terrified.

Zhao Jia felt very uncomfortable, she was worried that Gu Meng had ignited the flame of revenge in her heart because of this letter.

Because everyone knows how Grandpa Gu died, why does Grandpa Gu keep his mouth shut?

It's a tragedy.

An unsightly letter, a ruthless opponent, a wrong era.
