Chapter 1215: Clay Pots

Coming out of the Shangri-La Hotel, I passed a pharmacy on the way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Honghong got out of the car and went inside to buy a box of emergency contraceptives, and then swallowed one with the mineral water in the car. Seeing her slightly embarrassed appearance, Lin Xiaohu was very upset and decided to treat her better in the future to repay her favor for herself.

Halfway through the journey, Honghong said, "Brother, if my aunt asks you, where did I stay last night, what do you say?"

Lin Xiaohu was slightly stunned, and immediately understood her intentions, this is to make a confession first, so as not to be exposed by Guo Maomao when he sees any flaws, and thinks about it: "Since you asked so, you must have an idea, you say, I will listen to you." Honghong smiled and said, "Brother, you are so smart." I'll teach you, she wants to ask you, and you just say this: Yesterday afternoon you sent me to my former company to ask for a bonus, but I met a good colleague and sister, so I invited them to dinner in the evening, and the bonus I got was not spent a penny, and then I went to live with a sister. You drove me up this morning. ”

Lin Xiaohu was secretly shocked, what a smart girl, this lie is actually leaky, no one can find a mistake, let alone Guo Maomao who is not in the capital? Tsk, that's amazing, the ghosts and elves are at the extreme.

Seeing that Lin Xiaohu didn't make an affirmation, Honghong asked hesitantly, "Isn't this reason okay?"

Lin Xiaohu praised: "It's very good, why can't it?" There simply doesn't get any better reason than that. Honghong, I'm really convinced of you, you can make up such a classic nonsense, it doesn't leak, and you can't make any mistakes. Honghong smiled when she heard this, her face was quite colorful, but she quickly raised her eyebrows, made a bitter face, pursed her red lips, and said, "Brother, you are so ruthless, you have swollen mine, and it hurts fiercely when you touch it."

Lin Xiaohu couldn't cry or laugh, his heart was on fire, and he discussed: "Honghong, please, when we don't really do it, don't you always talk about your ......**, okay?" I can't stand it, you see......"

Honghong looked over and smiled

After being quiet for a while, Honghong opened her mouth again and asked, "How many times have we been from last night to morning?"

Lin Xiaohu was speechless and said, "Why do you ask this?" I don't remember. Honghong smiled and said, "It's commemorative." Brother, you are so fierce, it turns out that the legendary 'Ten Jiro in One Night' is like you. ”

Lin Xiaohu couldn't cry or laugh, waved his hand and said, "Stop, don't talk about this kind of topic, you'll be home soon, I'm afraid you will miss your mouth." Honghong shook her head and said, "No, when I go home, I will keep the door tight, and I won't let my aunt hear a word if I shouldn't say anything."

Lin Xiaohu said: "Not only your sister, but you can't talk nonsense about other people." Honghong said: "I know, hehe, I'm not a child anymore, what can I say, what can't I say I haven't counted in my heart?"

There was still a quarter of an hour before eleven o'clock, Lin Xiaohu and Honghong rushed to their house. Guo Maomao was serving those vegetables with her grandmother on the ground in the yard, watering and weeding, and when she saw them coming back, she came up to greet them with a smile.

To Lin Xiaohu's surprise, after he made such a big mistake with Honghong, he didn't feel the slightest bit of shame and guilt when he faced Guo Maomao. He thought it might have something to do with Honghong being her little niece. In the bottom of her heart, she may feel that having a relationship with her niece is a derivative of the relationship within the family, not a betrayal. Of course

This is just a manifestation of the cleverness of his Ah Q spirit to the extreme, and in fact, he also knows that he is just pretending not to feel guilty about her. As for what he thought in his heart, only he knew.

There was another thing that also surprised Lin Xiaohu, Guo Maomao didn't ask where he lived last night, but only asked him about the construction of the house in the capital.

Lin Xiaohu replied simply, thinking in his heart, Honghong was still a thief, although she was prepared to deal with her aunt's questioning in advance, but unfortunately Guo Maomao didn't think about it at all. In fact, even if she is an aunt, no matter how much she cares about Honghong's eldest niece, she will not suddenly ask where she lived last night without context. This would not have been in line with the normal logic of human beings. But it's good to do this, so as to save Honghong's weak heart and being really asked about the wrong thing.

In the next two days, Guo Maomao and Honghong continued to prepare for the supermarket in the county, perhaps feeling that they might not be professional enough, Guo Maomao also transferred a senior manager with supermarket management experience from the group to help. As for Lin Xiaohu, he didn't follow them around, but hid at home, practiced qigong every day, recuperated his body, and gave Dong Qing'er acupuncture treatment...... Although there are not many affairs, there are still some things that do not let him be idle every day, and the life is ordinary and boring.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon of this day, I suddenly received a call from Li Bing, the ringtone was very urgent, Lin Xiaohu subconsciously guessed that something big might have happened at home in the capital, and hurriedly answered. Li Bing didn't hide anything, and he said everything when he came up.

It turned out that Brother Sun's construction team had been in the yard for two days, and they had been demolishing the north house for the first two days. Because the layout of the courtyard house is compact and narrow, it cannot be dismantled by large machines, so everything is manual, so the speed is not fast, and it took more than a dozen people two days and two midnights to dismantle it cleanly. After the house was demolished, it was time to dig deep into the foundation and rebuild it with a stronger and more durable foundation. Before lunch today, they had already dug a foundation tunnel more than one meter deep, about the same size as the original north house, and a slightly larger circle, and began to dig again in the afternoon, deepening it by about a foot. But just as he was digging deep in the tunnel to the west, a worker went down with a pickaxe, and the pickaxe touched something like a porcelain jar. He didn't know what he had come across, so he put down his pickaxe and carefully tried to pick up the earth around the jar with his hands, and he dug up a clay pot about a foot and a half high and more than half a foot wide. The clay pot was very strong, and the relationship between the deep and the imprisoned was not broken, but only cracked, and a deep crack was formed on the surface. Seeing this, a group of workers dug up a jar and gathered around to watch the excitement. Brother Sun, Li Bing and Wang Baoqiang were all watching from the periphery, and when they saw this situation, they naturally jumped into the pit to see.

Li Bing said that he hugged the clay pot, it was very heavy, and he could barely hold it. Lin Xiaohu was secretly dumbfounded, Li Bing was born in a special forces, his arms were shaken, and his strength was not enough, at least five or six hundred catties. He could barely hold it, what a heavy thing it contained.

When the workers saw that the clay pot was so heavy and buried deep in the ground of the old house, they all superstitiously believed that it contained either gold or silver. It may not be accurate to say superstition here, but to be precise, it should be a superstitious rumor of the old generation. According to the old generation, the landlord or the famous relatives like to bury the gold and silver treasures that cannot be used in the ground, one is to use the treasure to gather feng shui, the second is to avoid theft, and the third is to ...... Maybe it's the personal love of these old riches who don't want to show their wealth. Fourth, sometimes it is also to avoid trouble, such as war, bandits, or something, if you run away with a large ticket of gold, silver and jewelry, it is estimated that you will not be able to run at all, and it is not safe, but buried in the ground

If you go down, there will be a lot less tired praise, and others can't take it away. When the war is over or the bandits return to the mountains, they can go home and dig up.

And this story buried in the ground is not a rumor, but really runs through the entire history of China. Don't talk about the stories you heard, just talk about what really happened: when Lin Xiaohu was still in the fifth grade of primary school, the playground of the primary school was renovated, and as a result, the construction workers dug up more than a dozen gold and silver ingots from the ground somewhere in the playground This is not a rumor, the gold and silver ingots dug up at that time were placed in the principal's office, and many students ran to the door to watch, and saw the gold ingots with dark yellow light and gray-white silver ingots. Later, I learned that the site of our primary school was once the yamen of the old county seat, and the gold and silver ingots dug up may have been buried by the county magistrate. Later, those gold and silver ingots were confiscated and taken away by the county government, and now I don't know where they are.

Even before Lin Xiaohu made his fortune, the piece of gold was not confiscated.

Magical stories like this happen all the time in the land of China, which shows that the Chinese people have a tradition of burying gold and silver treasures. It can be said that in the old society and even earlier, the best way to preserve gold and silver treasures was to bury them in the ground, and this idea is deeply ingrained and well known. The migrant workers felt that the contents of the clay pots were either gold or silver, which can be seen from the imprisonment.

In addition, in addition to those rich landlords who buried gold and silver under their houses or in their yards, some powerful people would also bury the stolen gold, silver and jewelry in a cave or crypt somewhere, turning it into a veritable treasure trove. For example, Zhang Xianzhong, one of the leaders of the peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty, is said to have accumulated a total of tens of millions of gold, silver and jewelry from the uprising to his defeat, which is estimated to be worth more than 3 billion yuan if it is estimated to be RMB. But there were so many treasures that he couldn't take with him, so he also chose to hide the treasure. But where he ended up hiding is unknown. In later generations, many warlords or private organizations went to the places where he fought and lived in search of the huge wealth he left behind, but no one succeeded. His treasure remains a mystery to this day.

One of the contradictions often mentioned in martial arts novels is also a treasure trove, which is derived from it, which brings up the plot of the treasure map falling into the rivers and lakes, and then the heroes of all parties fight for it...... Western pirate movie books also use this cliché plot, but there are endless people who like it, and the selling points are excellent, and the more famous ones are ((Treasure Island) and "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

After talking nonsense for a long time, back to the topic. In fact, Lin Xiaohu personally didn't have much feeling about whether the clay pot was gold or silver, and he was not short of money now, but this incident made him have a strong curiosity, and he couldn't help but want to ask the reason, so he asked Li Bing, and then what?

Li Bing told him that the migrant workers were so excited that they wanted to open the clay pot to see what it contained. Fortunately, the quality of the contractor foreman is good, saying that this thing was dug out from under someone's house, and the prisoner belongs to the owner, how can you workers casually take it apart and look at it? So he organized his subordinates to move the clay pot to the east wing and let Li Bing and Wang Baoqiang guard it. Li Bing may not dare to take on such a heavy responsibility, so he reported to the boss as soon as possible, so as not to have anything wrong he couldn't afford.

Lin Xiaohu thought to himself, this Brother Sun is really good. If it was replaced by another contractor, he might have asked his henchmen to secretly put away this clay pot, and he would not let Li Wang and his wife know at all: those with slightly better morality may propose to share it equally with the master. But Brother Sun didn't even open it, so he directly let Li Wang and the others look at it, which is almost equivalent to picking up gold.
