Li Zhenwei stepped forward to help Li Lao sit down, and the people in the room were waiting for him to calm down, and fell silent for a while.

Perhaps because my young personality was a little more anxious, I couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I've heard that the wrench can make people 'rich'!" ”

"Make a fortune?" Li Zhenwei looked shocked, he glared at He Ming angrily, "Just because of this, you instigated your daughter to deceive my son?" ”

He Ming shook his head and said with a sad face: "That's me who lied to Xiaoxue!" ”

"Since it's not, then why do you have to get it?" I asked, puzzled.

"Because it'...... It's an ominous thing! I want to atone for my sins, and I have to destroy it!" He Ming said sadly: "In our He family, only me and Xiaoxue are left, and I ...... It's an advanced stage of liver cancer, and I don't want Xiaoxue to continue to suffer from this innocent implication......"

"What the hell is going on?" Li Lao said angrily.

He Ming looked at Li Lao and snorted helplessly: "How did this thing come about, you know better than me!" They are all disasters, and there is no escape! ”

"Alas!" The old lady, who had not made a sound, suddenly sighed, and stomped the crutch she was holding in her hand, "Now that it's time for you to say it, you don't feel at ease if you want Xiaojuan to die!" ”

I looked at them in confusion - who is Xiaojuan? What do they refer to?

"Dad, that weird wrench is ...... with Mom's death"

"Shut up!" Li Lao screamed, he frowned, anxious with a look of horror, and after a while, he said: "That was many years ago, and I never want to mention it again!" ”

"Since you don't want to mention it, then I'll tell you!" He Ming said sadly.

"No......" Li Lao waved his hand and said in thought: "That's it...... When I came down from the army, I didn't find a livelihood for a while, so under the recommendation of Agui, I followed Ouyang ......" Li Lao stood up, paced to the window, and looked into the distance, "I originally thought that Ouyang was an ordinary cultural person, and he came to me and Agui, just because he took a fancy to the two of us coming down from the army. But I found out later that he was a man...... It's a disgraceful thing to do...... He who makes a fortune from the dead! ”

"Tomb robbing?" I say my first reaction.

Li Lao turned around and looked at me: "He doesn't have that much ability." At that time, it was nothing to die in a foreign land or abandon corpses in the wilderness, he just scavenged money from those people to make profits. ”

"If that's the case, how can you ask a stranger for help?" I asked, puzzled.

"At that time, there was a riot of displaced people in the area of Hoana, and afterwards the government stepped in and buried those who died in the riot in the nearest place and buried them on a nearby mountain. Ouyang was mixed in with those who disposed of the corpses, but he didn't get any benefits, but unexpectedly, he found a burial ground. ”

"Tombs? Is it a graveyard? ”

Li Lao shook his head: "There is a custom of hanging coffins in that area, and the coffins are placed in stone walls or caves. Ouyang took a fancy to this, so he had a crooked idea and asked me and Agui to be helpers! At that time, we were also confused and agreed to help him. The three of us opened more than a dozen coffins in the ancient coffin cave and didn't get much until ......" Li Lao narrowed his eyes slightly, and he groaned for a while, and then he continued, "Until we found a coffin hanging on a high cliff......

"What's wrong with that?" The old lady asked in a deep voice.

"According to Ouyang, the coffin itself is worth a lot of money, it is a sandalwood coffin, and there is nothing special about ...... else."

"No!" He Ming suddenly retorted: "There's something on it, it's just hidden!" ”

I was puzzled for a moment and asked, "You just said three people, so what about Uncle He's father?" ”

He Ming answered: "My father followed Ah Gong to ferry together, and when he passed by, he found out what the three of them had done. Ah Gong was originally very angry...... he said with a guilty face: "My father is poor and short-minded, so he joined them!" ”

"You said someone was hiding, who was it?" Elder Li asked suspiciously.

He Ming said in a deep voice: "Under the cliff is the turbulent river, they found a big boat, left Ouyang to answer, and the other three were responsible for putting the coffin down!" ”

"Yes, yes, it was Agui who went down to tie the rope at that time, and the three of us worked together to put the coffin down!" Li Lao added.

Ah Gong saw through his father's mind and knew that he was powerless to stop him, so he quietly followed. He said he had seen with his own eyes that after the coffin was lowered, the bespectacled Sven man removed something from it and put it in his pocket. ”

"And then?" I can't wait to see what's in that coffin.

Li Lao replied: "At that time, the sky changed greatly, and a thunderstorm was coming. Several of us moved the coffin into a nearby cave. At that time, several of our old men felt cautious, but Ouyang ...... Hmph, he was a veteran, and he was used to this kind of thing, and he took the lead in priing open the lid of the coffin. ”

"How many nails were there in the coffin?" The old lady asked with a solemn face.

"Who would pay attention to these things in that situation!" Li Lao showed a hint of horror, "The moment the coffin was opened, several of us were frightened. We have also opened a lot of coffins before, but they are just a pile of white bones, and you can get used to it when you look at it, but inside this coffin, there is a 'person' lying there! ”

"Alone?" I asked rhetorically, "The living?" ”

"No, it's a man who just died, a woman!" Li Lao said hesitantly.

He Ming answered: "At that time, my father also thought so, but Ah Gong said that the coffin had been hanging for more than 50 years, so he was in a panic all day long, and in fear of offending the gods, he died not long after!" ”

"That white jade wrench, was it taken out of her?" I asked.

Li Lao nodded, his expression was different, he suddenly looked at He Ming, and asked, "Was the fire caused by He Laosan?" ”

He Ming snorted and said unhappily: "Sure enough, you also suspect that your father did it!" ”

"Not him?" Elder Li lowered his head in contemplation and muttered, "Could it be him?" ”

I glanced at each of them and asked confusedly, "Is there a misunderstanding?" ”

Li Lao looked at me, there was a lot of reproach in his eyes, but he didn't know what he thought of, and replied: "Back then, Ah Gui and I were just hired by Ouyang, so everything we got from the coffin was kept by him. When the rain subsided, we left with our things, but halfway through, the rain started to get heavier again, so we had to find a family to take shelter from the rain. Have you ever thought that ......" A hint of gloom flashed in Li Lao's eyes, "Someone actually got rich and wanted to get rid of other people, so he set a fire." ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel suspicious, and I always felt that Li Lao deliberately concealed a lot of things, many key things.
