Chapter 34 On Strategy
Chapter 34 deals with stratagem
1
After tossing all night, it was almost dawn when I rushed back to the village, I thought that there was a situation at the scene of the ancient tomb scientific expedition, who knows, no, the place where the fire caught fire was the house of the old lady and the village secretary. The fire was very severe, the fire brigade came again, and the two small buildings in front of us were surrounded by raging fires, and I stood not far away and watched the fire brigade methodically control the fire. Dazhe didn't know when he stood beside me.
"It smells of gasoline, and the fire is man-made."
I nodded, feeling that the truth was far away from us, but it seemed to be right in front of our eyes. Who set the fire? Is this ruining miè any important clue? Did the old lady leave us some clues in the old mansion, and someone wanted to destroy the evidence? Who are these people? I looked around me, in addition to Dazhe, there were also Yun Ximing and Uncle Lu, and then some villagers who came to see the excitement. Who the hell is it? Could the arsonists hide in the crowds? Jia Xianqing doesn't know where to go, could it be that she did it? If it was her, why would she do it?
I feel that there is a force that we don't know about, that is always around us, that doesn't directly harm us, but that opposes us at every turn.
Two hours later, when the day was completely light, the fire was finally extinguished, and the two farmhouses were almost burned to the ground, and I thought of the antique furniture in the old lady's house, and I couldn't help but feel a little sorry. The location of the arson was easily found, and someone set fire to the haystack in the old lady's yard and the feed for the chickens, and the haystack was separated from the yard of the village secretary's house by a wall, and the fire gradually spread. By the time I returned to the tent camp, I felt lightheaded, I hadn't slept all night, I was so tired that I had almost just occupied the camp bed, and I fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long I slept this night, I had many long, meaningless dreams, in which I heard the voices of Uncle Lu and Yun Ximing in a daze.
"Do you want to call Yin Yin up and discuss?" Yun Ximing said.
"Let the girl sleep for a while, it's already like this anyway, there's no point, I've already reported it, maybe there will be news soon......"
Their conversation mentioned me, and I wanted to open my eyes and ask them, but another wave of sleepiness hit me, and I rolled over and fell asleep again.

When I woke up, I saw Yun Ximing standing next to me, it was already evening, and there was still steaming food on the table beside me.
"Are you awake? How does it feel? Yun Ximing looked at me and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, maybe I haven't had a good rest recently, I don't feel old, and I stay up all night to become like this." I try to keep my tone as brisk as possible, I won't tell him because I didn't sleep well last night, and I've used the yin-yang technique too many times lately, and my head is about to explode in pain now.
"Let's have something to eat, the fat man went to the town to find a cook, and his skills are not bad." Yun Ximing handed me the food, the dish was really good, I saw braised pork and dried green beans, but I didn't have any appetite at all.
"That is, he is afraid of starvation!"
"Hey, I'm thinking about your body!" Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Dazhe opened the curtain and walked in, carrying a large pot of hot water in his hand. I looked at him and smiled wryly, kind of apologetic.
"I can't eat yet, when I fall asleep, is something wrong?" I remembered their conversation that I vaguely heard, Yun Ximing and Dazhe looked at each other, and finally Yun Ximing opened his mouth.
"There is indeed a little situation, Lao Lu is responsible for burying the tablets of the Jia family in the back mountain, and it should be when the old house is on fire."
"Take me to see it!" I rolled over and got out of bed, followed behind Yun Ximing, and hurriedly ran to the back mountain.

The hill behind Chengxin Village was originally an old grave, but later in response to the call of the state, it was renovated and moved together, becoming the only cemetery in the ten miles and eight townships. Many people say that Chengxin Village has always been affected by this cemetery, but I think it's pure nonsense.
The place where Uncle Lu buried those tablets is in a small open space next to the cemetery, this open space is quite high, the scenery is also good, and the walking position is overgrown with pine trees, which is a feng shui place. Standing here, you can see the whole picture of Chengxin Village, especially the old lady's burned down old house, which is at the foot of the clearing. Standing in this open space, looking at the old lady's burned farmhouse courtyard with only the foundation left, and the looted ancestral tomb of the Jia family behind me, I suddenly became logically clear.
Let the old lady take all the charges, and then use arson to divert our attention, and then take the opportunity to steal all the tablets, and the name of the person who made this qiē is about to come out.
"Turn the tiger away from the mountain." I sighed with emotion, this is clearly a play performed by the old lady and Jia Xianqing, and sent me the genealogy just to attract my attention, let me go to him to ask what is going on, maybe the old lady himself doesn't know the secret of the genealogy, and the ghost text that I found by chance is just crooked. My uncle and I went to the city, taking advantage of the time difference, setting fire to the old mansion and stealing the ranking of the Jia family, this qiē was a plan, a farce directed and acted by the descendants of the Jia family.
Yun Ximing obviously realized this, and he nodded, "Do you want to say hello to the public security department and want Jia Xianqing?" ”
I shook my head, "She's also a miserable person, and besides, those tablets originally belonged to her ancestors, so at most she took them away." Besides, the old lady's arrangement is all for her to live better, let's not live up to the old lady's last wish. The legal principle is nothing more than human feelings, do you think that the people in the criminal investigation brigade are stupid, they can't see such a clumsy scapegoat, they have to be merciful and forgiving. ”
I looked back at the open space behind me, it was now empty, only the sign that Uncle Lu was standing there that read "Jia Family Ancestral Land", I don't know what to do with those tablets, maybe they will be enshrined, maybe they will be sold to become Jia Xianqing's capital to start a new life. I bowed respectfully to the sign of "Jia Family Ancestral Land", which can be regarded as a consolation to the old lady, but the only clue I can solve the connection between our family and the Jia family is completely broken here.
"What's next?" Yun Ximing asked me.
"Down to the grave." This is the last way to solve the mystery, but I still have concerns, since it is not the old lady who sealed the tomb door in the tomb passage, who is it and what is his purpose?! At present, we are like people walking in the dark, and since we can't find the exit, we must first find a little light. Right now, all we can do, and the only thing we can do, is explore the mysterious central cemetery.
