Chapter 14: Rejoice
This silver dollar should be buried in a very superficial place, and grandpa's guess is the same, the person who hid the money was not buried so deep at the beginning, plus in the following decades, earthquakes, flash floods, heavy rains or something, the surface of the ground has changed, so the silver dollar was exposed to a more obvious position, and it was dug out at once!
I was very excited to put the silver dollar in my clothes pocket, thinking that it was not right, my pocket was too shallow to fit at all, so I grabbed it out and wiped it, found a cloth bag, and put it inside.
Then I began to kneel on the snow and continue to search, in fact, I don't have many dreams, as long as I have thirty or fifty pieces, I will be content. This can also be exchanged for a lot of money, and now go into the city to find someone to secretly exchange something valuable. Rice and white flour, biscuits, clothing and so on, are quite valuable.
If I get some precious flour, cream and sugar, and I can bring it back and make some simple cakes and other food, maybe I can quietly set up a stall and make some money, and I even thought that it would be nice if the other party buried not only silver dollars, but other valuable things, gold, silver, jewelry, heirlooms, or treasure maps on TV.
Hey, hey, I'll post it then, maybe I can become a multimillionaire?
Of course, this dream was just done casually. I know how unrealistic it is.
I continued digging for a while before I heard the crisp sound of my shovel hitting the ground. I was so excited, and sure enough, I kept digging.
Then I saw the layers of silver dollars inside, all of them touching together, and there was a kind of heavy stale rush.
In addition, these things should be wrapped in a red cloth, but they can't be wrapped anymore. Was it in such a bag at the beginning? Although there were several layers, now most of them have disappeared from the weather, and when I pulled it slightly, all the fabric was broken, and only the silver dollars were heavy in my hands.
The coins were covered in dirt, and I didn't care about getting dirty, so I put them in my big bag that I carried with me, and I was very excited as if in a dream, and I looked around as I carried them. The very heavy silver dollar gave me a very grounded feeling.
Why hasn't my grandfather come back? My bag was very full, heavy, almost hundreds.
Soon I picked up all the silver dollars in the land, and it was very difficult to find them. When the last silver dollar was put in, my people had a sense of loss, and it was gone? I was unwilling to look around in the snow, but I didn't find anything, and some stones were dug up in the back, and I threw them all out.
My grandfather's voice came at this time: "Xiu'er, where are you?"
I looked up in surprise and beckoned, "Grandpa, I'm here! What are you doing?
"The child is on Mr. Zhao's side for the time being. "My grandfather slid down from it when he said this, and in a blink of an eye he came to me, worthy of a person who had beaten devils, and he was still very energetic after a night of tossing, but I, the person who had been staying in place, was very tired and a little unable to stand.
"What's the matter with the kid?"
"This kid's brain is a little unclear, I don't squeak when I ask anything, and then I keep crying and I can't ask, seeing that he is very close to Mr. Zhao's home, I will temporarily send him to Mr. Zhao's house, and then I will come to you. Why, did you find it? I think you're excited?" my grandfather smiled and reached out to my hair.
I didn't speak, I just grinned and opened my coat pocket for my grandfather to see.
When my grandfather saw it, he shouted happily, "Okay, girl, this is yours?"
"Shhh I grinned and said, "I can't find it, grandpa, you're a scout and see if you can find it?"
My grandfather said yes and started looking for it nearby. My grandfather was a scout, and soon found a wooden box, very delicate, slightly larger than a man's palm, a mahogany chest, surrounded by some yellow and black inscriptions, with a yellow-orange-orange lock nose with a bronze lock hanging from it.
I tugged hard, but there was no response at all.
My grandfather thought about it, took the shovel and smashed the lock nose directly, and opened the box, but it was not karma, but a thick pile of paper, which I didn't recognize.
My grandfather took it and looked at it and said, "Oh, this thing doesn't work." This thing is called the official gold band, it is something that the officials of Lao Jiang had at that time, but it is valuable, but unfortunately it is a piece of waste paper now, scolding, it is so easy to hide a thing and it is only this?
I used to watch this thing on TV, and it was very valuable at the time, but later because of Lao Jiang's economic crisis, he fled, and these things were worthless, and they could only be used as a souvenir.
I stopped my grandfather: "Don't burn it, maybe it can be used as a cultural relic." ”
"You don't understand, if this thing is not hidden well and is discovered, your grandfather and I will not be able to protect you, and I will be taken over to criticize, don't think about beautiful things. ”
I sighed, too, this thing is at most a few dollars a piece, and if you are caught and shot, you can't commit it.
I'm a little disappointed, such a box, it is estimated that it was worth old money at that time, right? Unfortunately, it has long been abolished.
My grandfather opened the box again, and when it was empty, he threw it on the ground and kicked it with his foot.
I couldn't stop him: "Grandpa, what are you doing, why are you ruining such good things? It's so beautiful, I seem to want to put alabaster and a wooden comb in it!"
"I'll see if there's a mechanism? You can't keep this thing, now Yang Dabao is looking for trouble everywhere, this thing looks like the kind of lady in ancient times who can afford to use the dressing box, you have to keep it, but it's Miss Assets." Let's keep this copper lock and sell it for scrap iron. Something else burns, don't let the enemy find out. After that, he kicked a few more times.
I couldn't help but laugh, I even compared Yang Dabao to an enemy? But grandpa's words make sense, I can only forget it, it's really a pity.
My grandfather saw that there was nothing inside, and grabbed the box and put it in the flames, when a golden thing flew out and landed in a nearby snowdrift, and I quickly ran over and picked it up, and it turned out to be a gold necklace! It was a very plain chain, and there was nothing but a gold chain, and the color was very black, and there was almost no gold luster at all. It's very old, and the style is not good-looking.
My grandfather took it and took a bite and said, "It's real gold, yes, you even thought of hiding a gold necklace in it?"
I said, "Will there be gold bars, didn't you say that gold bars are very valuable?"
My grandfather laughed and said, "This is stupid, isn't it? If there is really a gold bar, it must be taken away, and it can be buried here? Then it was loaded with official gold coupons. If you're lucky, take it with you, find someone to wash it, or exchange it for money. ”
I agreed, and put the necklace in my pocket for the silver dollars. I don't really like gold jewelry, all I think about is how to exchange it for money, it must be good.
My grandfather and I started working again, and after a while, we didn't find anything. It seems that this is all there is to it.
My grandfather stood up and hammered himself in the back: "Okay, so be it." Let's fill in this pit casually, don't worry about anything else, it is estimated that it will be covered with snow overnight. ”
I agreed, the two of us messed around, and left, before leaving, I glanced at the sky, the snow has been not small, I guess I won't see anything tomorrow, my grandfather took my money bag and carried it behind him.
"Good guy, it's almost thirty or fifty pounds, right?"
I laughed, "Anyway, it's a lot, I was shocked when I saw it, it's a lot!" I said, helping with my hands.
My grandfather waved his hand and pushed my hand away: "I can do it myself, I'll come." It's safer to go this way. ”
At first, I thought it was someone who was buried over there, after all, there was Yuan Datou, but it was earlier than Lao Jiang, but then I found out that the official gold coupon plus modern jewelry is estimated to be the group of people who are saving silver dollars to exchange money or as antiques, so they didn't take it away? These things have been forgotten.
My grandpa was happy to be humming songs all the way.
I said, "Shall we go home? ”
"Let's go to Mr. Zhao's side first, we have to bring the child back, don't we?"
I think about it, too: "yes. I forgot about it, I always thought about the money, and I don't remember such an important thing. When I finished, I smiled embarrassedly.
My grandfather said: "The place where the old man lives is very cold, I said a few words before leaving, but he still refused to move over, he is really a hypocritical person." ”
I shook my head: "I don't think he's hypocritical, but he simply doesn't want to bother us, when I went before, he said that he was a black five category, and he also loves to read, so I think he's a good person." "Anyway, it's much better than bastards like Ouyang Sheng and Yang Dabao.
My grandfather nodded: "Forget it, I can understand him." When will these bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods be able to torture good people and go crazy!"
I persuaded, "Even if we drag them then, we will drag people over." Either way, I'm a little happy tonight! Don't be unhappy. ”
