Chapter 47: Buried Relics

After the gym was watered, the workers all threw themselves into the excavation of the piano room, and the speed was also very fast, and it looked like it had been dug into two meters in the morning, and Long Yi would sit next to it when he was idle.

The weather is already very hot, the workers digging in the basement have nothing, but the workers who transport the soil back and forth above have been complaining for days, Gong Lao Er had to rearrange, a group of five people is responsible for transporting the excavated muck, one person is responsible for the hanging tower, and the rest of the people are one person and a cart to transport the muck back and forth, and pour it to the fence outside the yard......

Long Yi walked down the simple ladder, and the watered gym floor was covered with kraft paper, and the kraft paper was sprinkled with water, and Gong Lao Er said that it could prevent the floor from cracking, and I don't know if it was true.

Long Yi walked to the piano room where he was excavating, and touched the damp soil with his hands, and the soil layering was obvious: the top close to the kitchen floor was a relatively dry bluestone block, the largest was about forty centimeters, the small one was only the size of a thumb, and the thickness of the whole layer was about one meter and a half, which could be guessed to be filled by hand, and it was quite thick.

Down is a layer of black and slimy soil, similar to coal, Long Yi guessed that it is a long-term ready-made silt at the bottom of the lake, which is also nearly one meter thick, according to common sense, this location is the lake, there is no reason to be so thick silt, if there is a meter thick here, then the center of the lake should not be ten meters thick? Long Yi shook his head in disunderstanding.

Further down was the brown soil, which was not less than 50 centimeters thick, and Long thought that this was similar to the paint used for oil painting!

Below is a softer rock layer, the whole layer is up to one meter thick, and it can no longer be dug down, it is a natural bluestone layer......

Gong Lao Er said: "There is bluestone below, you see if you want to dig down, if you dig it, you can only cut it with a cutting machine......"

Long Yi asked, "How tall is it now?" Did you measure it? ”

Gong Lao Er took out a tape measure from his trouser pocket, measured it, and said, "Four meters and three ......."

Long Yi looked at Gong Lao Er and said, "You tell me what the height of the floor is after being watered, I have to ask Henry about this, because I don't know much about this......"

Gong Lao Er said: "Such a base plate does not need to be poured too thickly, and it is estimated that the height is about three meters and three ...... after it is done."

Long Yi took out his mobile phone and called Henry and asked Henry's opinion, and Henry suggested that it should not be less than four meters.

Long Yi said to Gong Lao Er: "The net height should be four meters, there is no difficulty, right?" ”

Gong Lao Er smiled: "There is no difficulty, the construction period is just slower, if it's okay, just do it by four meters!" ”

After another day of digging, the piano room was finally dug up, and a few workers were cutting the bluestone with a cutting machine, while the rest of the people began to dig the muck under the living room.

Halfway through the digging, the workers made a new discovery, and a square building made of green bricks appeared four meters from the floor of the living room......

Long Yi was also very curious, and looked at it carefully, the exposed part was about one meter long and wide, and of course some of it was buried in the soil, Long Yi said to Gong Laoer: "It can't be a grave or something, right?" ”

Gong Lao Er shook his head: "I don't think so, who would bury the grave so deeply?" Won't you know if you dig deeper? ”

The dragon nodded and said, "Yes, yes...... You go around and don't dig the bricks, and then talk about ...... when the whole thing is exposed."

Long Yi hurriedly ran to the living room and told Long Xiaopeng about the matter, Long Xiaopeng was also surprised, and followed Long Yi down to the basement.

After an hour, I finally dug around the building, and the whole building stood there like a pillar, with a square box of about one meter in length, width and height......

Long Yi used a crowbar to pry open a few bricks on it, and nothing could be seen in the dark, Gong Lao Er picked up the flashlight from the corner of the wall and handed it to Long Yi, Long Yi took a picture of the deliberate surprise "oh", and the two workers were so frightened that they took a few steps back......

Gong Lao Er scolded: "Bear-like! Curious and timid! ”

Long Yi laughed and continued to pry open the bricks above, and finally saw a leather box lying there quietly, the whole building was waterproofed, it was still very dry, and there was nothing but the leather box.

Long Yi said to the people below: "It's a leather suitcase, I don't know what it contains......"

Long Xiaopeng said: "Take it out!" Why are you stunned? Workers still have to work, don't waste time......"

Long threw a crowbar on the ground, took out a small suitcase and blew the dust, everyone was also very curious, how could there be such a box, Long handed the box to Long Xiaopeng.

Long Xiaopeng weighed it and said, "It's very light!" Not gold bars...... Let's keep working......" said Long Yi and Gong Lao Er as they prepared to walk out of the basement.

Gong Lao Er turned his head to the workers and said, "What should I do...... Do you still want a salary? ”

When the three of them arrived in the living room, Long Xiaopeng put the suitcase on the coffee table and found a towel to wipe it carefully. Yu Bo and Tang Xuan saw a few people coming up from the basement, and they also brought an old suitcase and ran to see the excitement.

Yu Bo looked at Long Yi with a smile and said, "Husband! I bet it's a silver ticket......"

Tang Xuan smiled and said, "It may also be a gold bar......

Long Yi looked at the curious two and said, "They are all money fans, maybe it's just a few clothes...... It's really ......."

Long Xiaopeng opened the opening slowly, everyone held their breath, and Bai Dongmei also came over to watch Long Xiaopeng open the box little by little.

Everyone was disappointed, there were no clothes, no silver tickets, and no gold bars, there were more than a dozen letters in such a big box, Long Xiaopeng took it out and put it on the coffee table, below was an old newspaper, which had been yellowed, and at the bottom was a few yellowed sheets of paper, neatly folded.

After Long Xiaopeng opened the paper, there were probably several contracts, and many people signed them and pressed their fingerprints. Long Xiaopeng looked at it carefully, and nodded uncontrollably......

Bai Dongmei said to Long Xiaopeng: "What did you write after reading it for a long time? Still can't read it? ”

Long Xiaopeng glanced at Bai Dongmei: "I can't understand it, you can understand it?" I'll show you ......."

Bai Dongmei looked at it for a long time and didn't know much about it, a total of four, I only knew that it was signed by a person named Long Jiping and many people, and the date of payment was March 9, the 36th year of the Republic of China.

Long Xiaopeng looked at Bai Dongmei with mocking eyes: "What to say, tell everyone!" Look at it and snatch it for you......"

Bai Dongmei angrily threw it to Long Xiaopeng and said, "Can't you understand it?" It's all written with a brush......"

Long Xiaopeng scoffed: "This is called Xiaokai!" No culture! ”

Bai Dongmei said sarcastically: "See what you can do...... You write calligraphy every day, it's not that you can't read it! How long does it take to understand it? ”

Long Xiaopeng didn't refute it, but said lightly: "What about this person named Long Jiping in the thirty-sixth year of the Republic of China...... I think...... That is, on March 9, 1947, I signed this contract with these people......"

Yu Bo asked curiously, "Dad!" Why did you sign the contract? Don't sell it, I see that my dad understands! ”

Long Xiaopeng glanced at Bai Dongmei and said, "Look, my daughter-in-law is smart, I know that I understand...... Long Jiping signed a contract with these people to rent and plant trees for a period of one hundred and fifty years......"

Long Yi took a look at the newspaper, and the second page published an article entitled "Businessman Long Jiping Returned to Hometown and Spent Huge Sums of Money to Plant Trees", the illustration was a man about forty years old, wearing a suit, a tuxedo and a bow, and a smug smile on his face......

Long Yi looked at his father and muttered, "Like! It's like ......."

Tang Xuan also looked at Long Xiaopeng and asked Long Yi: "Like whom?" ”

Long Yi said affirmatively: "The person in the newspaper is a bit like my father, you see ......" said and handed the newspaper to Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan also said incredulously: "Yes! Much like ......"

Everyone came over and looked at the newspaper carefully, and Gong Lao Er said: "Maybe this Long Jiping is someone from your family!" What's so strange about this? Is! ”

Long Xiaopeng said to Bai Dongmei: "Amei...... Do you remember the family tree I used to show you? ”

Bai Dongmei nodded: "Remember...... What about the family tree? ”

Long Xiaopeng shook his head and said: "I don't know where to collect it for so many years, I may be able to find it if I look for it, I didn't feel interesting before...... It's a pity ......."

Long Yi picked up the letters on the coffee table and flipped through them casually, two of them were written to Long Jiping, with beautiful handwriting, which should have come from a woman's hand; The other nine letters were written to Xia Bing, the font was small letters, and the handwriting on the contract was written by one person.

Long Yi said to himself: "Xia Bing? What a strange name! ”

"What? Xia Bing? Bai Dongmei asked in surprise.

Long Yi asked, "Mom! What's wrong? ”

Bai Dongmei looked at Long Xiaopeng and said, "I still have an impression of the name Xia Bing, at that time I also said where did the ice come from in summer?" Xiaopeng, do you remember? ”

It was Long Xiaopeng's turn to be surprised: "Yes, yes, yes...... You just married into our family, and you still praise the name 'Xia Bing'......"

Long Yi looked at the aftermath, obviously couldn't believe what happened today, and asked Long Xiaopeng again: "Dad...... Think about what else is going on...... Like grandpa, grandma, did they say anything? ”

Long Xiaopeng grabbed his hair and searched for the old past, as if he didn't think of anything, and finally his eyes fell on the oil painting on the opposite wall, and finally patted his thigh and said, "Draw ......"

I saw Long Xiaopeng pointing to the painting and saying, "Your grandfather used to say that this painting was painted by his grandfather......"

Long Yi thought for a while and said, "My grandfather's name is Long Chunhua, what is the name of that great-grandfather, Dad?" ”

Long Xiaopeng blurted out: "Long Changshan ......"

Long Yi muttered: "Spring ...... Often...... Season...... Upside down season evergreen...... Ji Changchun...... Ji Changchun ......"

Yu Bo said impatiently: "I'm still everyspring all year round?" Annoying? ”

Long Yi hugged Yu Bo and kissed him, Yu Bo looked at Long Yi stupidly, only to see Long Yi say, "That's right!" It's everyspring all year round...... According to the word generation, this Long Jiping is the grandfather of his grandfather, and Long Jiping's previous generation should be the 'four' generation......"

Long Xiaopeng's eyes widened, and he said, "Long Sixi...... Yeah...... There is a 'Long Sixi' on the family tree, and I still told your mother that it was still '******'? Ame ...... Isn't it? ”

I saw Bai Dongmei also nodding affirmatively.

Long Yi thought about it for a while and finally had some eyebrows, but the mystery is getting bigger and bigger, and the interest is getting bigger and bigger, why bury these things so deeply? Why do you have so many assets at a young age? Also proficient in oil painting? Still in the ocean? I thought to myself, what is the origin of this grandfather's grandfather?
