Chapter 329: Unearthing the Treasure
The fat man carefully pulled the floating soil away with his hands, and there was really an iron guy inside, which was already covered with rust and mottled, and it looked like something that was old.
"The Japanese are planting bombs everywhere, they should beβ" Captain Lee snorted back halfway through his words, as he saw that Ito Saifumi, who was beside him, was also staring at the pit, his face showing endless grief and indignation.
"What a sinβ" Ito muttered, he had only heard his father talk about that period of history, and now he witnessed the evidence of the crime buried in the ground, and his heart was extremely sad and indignant.
The fat man took a shovel and carefully cleaned the dirt around him, and a square iron guy appeared in front of everyone, it was a meter square and two feet high.
"It turns out that the bomb is still square!" everyone looked at the freshness.
The fat man touched the back of his head: "This doesn't seem to be a bomb, it looks like an iron box." β
Everyone's mood immediately relaxed, but soon they all became excited: "It's not a bomb, could it be a treasure buried before?" Listen to the old man, this vacant land used to be the horse farm of the rich man Li Dabangzi's family!"
"That's right, open it and take a look, I heard that someone has dug up gold bars, and Yuan Datou, those are all valuable things!" Everyone gossiped and dreamed of making a fortune.
The fat man is also energetic: maybe it's really a batch of treasures, if that's it, it's going to be released!
However, just in case, he told everyone else to dodge first to prevent chemical gas and the like in the box, leaving only Captain Li and Wang Sanpao, and they all told them to hold wet towels to plug their mouths and noses.
The fat man took a deep breath, then held his breath and slammed his shovel against the lock of the box. The iron lock, along with the ring, had long since decayed, and was shoveled down at once, and the fat man shoveled the lid of the box with the blade of a shovel a few times, and finally cracked a small crack.
With a lift of both arms, the entire lid of the box was lifted, revealing a layer of yellow oiled paper. The fat man's heart finally landed: looking at this posture, it is definitely not military supplies inside.
So he stepped forward and slowly uncovered the oil paper, and the three people next to the iron box exclaimed in unison: "So much money!"
The people in the distance craned their necks to look, and when they heard this, they immediately came up with a bee. I saw that the iron box was full of piles of banknotes, and the flowers were green. Because of the oiled paper, all of them are intact, and some of them are still rattling.
"Get richβ" someone shouted.
"You can't spend this money, do you?" the fat man muttered, scratching his head. His eyes were good, and he could already see the pen and paper printed on them: "Central Bank of Manchuria". Obviously, these coins are still from the Puppet Manchurian period, not RMB.
Everyone suddenly realized, and said "ah" in unison, and their tones showed infinite disappointment.
"Flip through the bottom again and see if there is a big head Yuan!"
The fat man took out the bundles of banknotes, only to see a portrait printed on the front, I don't know whether it is the God of Wealth, or the Qing Taizu, there are Arabic numerals next to it, and the words "Shiyuan" in capital letters. In addition, there are also five yuan and one hundred yuan printed on them, as well as five corners and one yuan, and the face value is very complete.
"These things are just right for children to play with. Wang Sanpao muttered, then pulled out two of them, and fell on his hand with a rattle.
"The things dug up from the ground belong to cultural relics, and they should be handed over to the state first, and if the state doesn't want it, let's give it to children to play with. The fat man admonished, according to his estimates, this kind of paper money, the state will definitely not want.
Thinking of this, the fat man's heart suddenly moved: maybe it can be exchanged for money in the future, and after a few decades, the wind of collecting will rise, and these banknotes are estimated to have some value. But in this era, it can only be seen as a pile of waste paper.
There was a crisp sound, and when the fat man was holding the banknote, there was movement below.
"Haha, it must be Yuan Datou!" everyone's attention was attracted by this pleasant noise, and the fat man also sped up the movements in his hands, and moved the last two layers of banknotes out, only to see a thick layer of round coins scattered at the bottom of the box.
"Wow - there are so many Yuan Datou, now we have a strong backing mountain!" someone has already begun to cheer.
"It's good to see clearly, is there such a small Yuan Datou, this is useless, and it is also a child's play. "Captain Li is still knowledgeable, and recognizes that this coin is not a silver dollar, but a common coin in Manchukuo, and the face value is a dime. Almost everyone in the village has this thing, and they usually use it to pick and fry it.
The fat man picked up one, only to see that one side was printed with two dragons playing with pearls, with "One Corner" written in the middle, and the other side was engraved with Great Manchukuo, and below was the third year of Kant.
"It's empty and happy, I guess I don't want to sell it to the ragged, and this thing is not iron. "The group was rather frustrated, and finally unearthed a box of antiques, which turned out to be all outdated.
The fat man rummaged through the coin for a long time, and finally pinched out a silvery-white one: "Don't say it, we really didn't waste our efforts, there is really a Yuan Datou in it."
Many people have just heard of Yuan Datou, but they haven't seen what it looks like, hula suddenly surrounded each other, passed each other to see, on it is Yuan Shikai's big light head, and a circle is printed on the back, which is in the hand, heavy.
"It's fake, it's fake. Li Wuye and Grandpa Wang's old brothers walked over, Li Wuye took Yuan Datou, pinched the middle with his thumb and index finger, and then put it to his mouth and blew hard, and put Yuan Datou in his ear to listen carefully.
"Well, really, buzzing. Li Wuye threw Yuan Datou back to the fat man, and the fat man also blew it in his appearance, put it in his ear and listened to it, the aftermath was long, and it seemed to be true: "Just this one, how much can it be worth?"
Yuan Datou also has a collection in the countryside, but they don't dare to show it easily, of course, there are also young people who use it to make rings and bracelets or something, and they can generally exchange it for a few yuan, and the value is not too high.
The fat man's face was also slightly disappointed: "Captain, send someone to the commune to report and see how to deal with it." β
"This thing is all waste, whoever wants to take it and forget it, and what are you going to toss to the commune!" Captain Li thought that the fat man was making a big fuss.
The fat man said twice: "You can't say that, there is no impermeable wall, if it is spread out and then spread out of shape, say that we dig out a box of Yuan Datou, and gold bars and ingots or something, when the time comes, the township will come to investigate, then it will be passive." β
Captain Li nodded when he heard this: "It's still a fat man who thinks thoughtfully, big fat man, you ride a bicycle to the commune to report, and the others will continue to work!"
At about seven o'clock in the evening, the red bricks on the two Great Liberation cars were unloaded, and even the earthworm boxes of the fat man were placed on the ground. In addition to the boxes sold by "Director He", there are also some users who bought earlier and have switched to homemade large boxes, and some have several households.
Such people are generally already profitable. At that time, people were really good, and when they heard that they were scammers, they returned all the money from the sale of recovered earthworms.
In the end, as soon as the Public Security Bureau calculated the general ledger, there was still a lot left, and it was estimated that it was "Director He" himself, so he simply returned the money to those farmers.
Of course, the most advantageous is the fat man, who won a grand prize certificate for the spiritual award, and in terms of material, he also won a lot of earthworms for nothing, which can be regarded as the reward he received for exposing the liar.
These boxes of earthworms were transported to the deer farm by the little babies and put in the No. 5 pool. The big boxes were poured out on the spot, and the earthworms were picked up one by one into the small boxes, and then transported over. The wild boys are willing to run, and this job is the most appropriate.
Seeing that it was not early, the fat man called it a day, and the two drivers ran again after eating a mouthful of food. The fat man knew that when it was dark, the brick factory would not deliver the goods, so he told them to rest well, get up early tomorrow, and strive to run twice.
As soon as he was about to leave the construction site, he saw the little jeep of the Commune's Armed Forces Department drive into the village, and Secretary Ma and the Minister of Armed Forces came out of it, which shows the importance attached to this matter.
The fat man hurriedly greeted him: "Secretary Ma, you still need to run this matter yourself." β
"I heard the young man from your village say that I have dug up a lot of money, of course I have to come, these are all state, and private individuals cannot be moved. Last time, a village dug up a jar of open ocean, and the result was that the people robbed it. "Ma Zhanshan attaches great importance to this matter.
"Don't worry, the people in our village are highly conscious - hehe has dug up a lot of money, but it doesn't seem to be of much value. The fat man replied with a smile, it's hard to say whether the consciousness is high or not, and the latter is the truth.
It is said that in the minds of the common people, whoever digs up something from the ground is whoever's own, and it is justified.
Ma Zhanshan and the Minister of Armed Forces walked to the front of the big iron box, and when they looked at the banknotes and coins inside, they were also a little disappointed: "Fatty, what else do you report about this thing, whoever wants to start a fire can take it." β
"Hehe, there's something valuable. The fat man took out a big head of Yuan from his pocket, put it to his mouth and blew it: "If you find such one, you will return to the public anyway." β
Ma Zhanshan was also made to cry and laugh by him: "Okay, even if you kid can toss people, we won't leave today, we have to eat you well!"
"Actually, that's what I mean, Secretary Ma, you helped approve so many notes, I have to thank you. "The fat man also specially chooses good things to say.
Then he told everyone: "The state doesn't want this money, I keep it, and I will go back and help carry my family - Secretary Ma, do you see that the people in our village are so conscious, do you want to give some awards or something?"
"I'll give you two kicks first. Secretary Ma was about to kick, but the fat man had already flashed aside: "Hehe, the canteen of the Ueno Vegetable Factory, the meals have already been prepared." β
After the fat man was full of food and drink and sent Secretary Ma away, he arranged all the engineering team to go to the guest house, and the remaining few went to the villagers' homes to spend the night. The meal is also in the guest house, Captain Zhao and they all have food, as long as they get some food for a meal.
Of course, the fat man can't be stingy, and the eggs and all kinds of vegetables are transported by someone. There are all kinds of vegetables this month, and the fat man scooped a pot of lard, boiled eggplant beans or something, and the meat oil is more fragrant.
When I returned home, it was already dark, and I saw Qiqi and Maomao Brother sitting on the kang, with several stacks of coins in front of everyone.
Mao's paws held the coins and slowly stacked them high, stacked to a certain extent, and collapsed all of a sudden, so happy that even people and monkeys slapped together.
"Don't lose it, it's still useful to keep this thing. The fat man screamed so loudly that the coins in their hands fell and knocked down a large piece of it.
