Chapter 5 Windfall from Heaven Innocence of Gain
Wednesday's weather is still sunny, blue sky, slight breeze, this is the fourth day of the nine-year-old boy to start a new life, Zhang Zhenyi gradually adapted to such a somewhat poor rhythm of life, class, sleep, drawing on paper, and then there is nibbling sweet potatoes, once gradually forgetting the memories of gnawing sweet potatoes in the previous life, but this life is real.
Batou Village belongs to Zhangjialing Town, Anhui County, Huizhou City, Jiangnan Province, located at the junction of three provinces, adjacent to the Yangtze River, the river flowing eastward flows around the village, connecting the river is an incomparably wide lake, there are mountains and water, it is a good place to raise people, at least in Zhang Zhenyi's view, this is a blessed land, although his previous life left here is endless injustice and bullying, but in this life he has experienced the deep love of licking calves in the place of birth.
The scorching summer heat gradually faded away with the autumn wind, and in the gap after school, the boy did not return home as early as usual, but walked towards a dense forest at the head of the village, and the returning fishing boats shuttled on the hazy lake in the distance.
The bird did not see a thin boy walking alone in the hazy dusk, the shoulder bag on his shoulder seemed to be extremely open-minded, and if he opened it, he could clearly see that there was nothing in it, hanging on his shoulder, and swaying with his body.
Zhang Zhenyi is distressed that in the countryside of the ** era, he doesn't seem to have any spare strength, and it seems to be extremely common to have no half a cent in his pocket, but now it seems extremely abnormal, and the little boy never thought that he would one day worry about a few cents in his pocket.
Vaguely, he seemed to remember that there seemed to be a big incident in Batou Village in his previous life, and it was this incident that made a fisherman-like man in a neighboring village become an upstart in the nineties, and the center of the incident was what he was missing now.
One day when Zhang Zhenyi was about to graduate from the fifth grade in his last life, the man's family in the neighboring village had a piece of sand near a river dam in the east of Batou Village, in order to increase the fertility of the sandy land, the whole family went out to dig up the sand pile on the edge of the field, but unexpectedly, after digging less than two meters, they actually dug two and a half meters high and about 40 centimeters in diameter clay pots.
What's even more eye-catching is the contents of the clay pot, in the onlookers, everyone found that the two clay pots, one of them was filled with a jar of stinky water, and everyone laughed at it at digging a stinky kettle as a treasure, but when the second clay pot was opened, they all gasped.
In the dilapidated clay pot, after being broken, a whole jar of rusty coins was revealed, no one thought that these things were hidden under such a dilapidated dam, and what was even more amazing was that after the coins were opened, there were four golden ingots wrapped in it, and the big gold ingots of fifty taels suddenly dazzled everyone.
"If I didn't guess wrong, I'm afraid that no one has dug that dam yet, and rebirth is really a weapon for cheating, and I have to pick up this kind of good thing first."
Zhang Zhenyi's goal tonight is the clay pot full of coins, these things are his first pot of gold, and they are also the beginning of all plans in this life.
By the afterglow of the setting sun, the boy cautiously touched the sand that was not unfamiliar in his memory, as early as when he went to school in the morning, he hid a hoe near the sand, when he found the hoe, the sky had gradually darkened, and he took out the old-fashioned tin flashlight, and by the light yellow electric light, the sand in front of him was unobstructed.
"People found it by accident, and if I dig without a clue, I don't know how long it will take to find it!"
Zhang Zhenyi stood on this sand and hesitated, young and wealthy, it will definitely be coveted, so he had to dig by the night, he did not know the specific location of the clay pot, it must take a lot of time, but he can't spend too much time, this sand is close to the river dam, people often pass by, in case someone finds out that he is digging here in the middle of the night, nothing has become something, which is exactly what he does not want to see.
In his mind, he slowly recalled the location he saw at the beginning, and after about half a sound, he saw that he chose a place near a slope to excavate, in his memory, it was this slope where there was a lot of sand, so the family dug from here, and after half an hour, he observed, the young man's body was really weak, and the area of the excavation was less than one meter, and the depth was not more than thirty centimeters.
"For a new life, fight!"
Secretly spit, then dig again, the October night began to shine slightly, but Zhang Zhenyi's body has already been soaked with sweat, from the beginning of digging to now has been nearly two hours, under the feet exposed a huge pit half a body deep, but did not see the original clay pot.
"Isn't that thing here?"
The boy frowned slightly, the hoe in his hand immediately stopped, and his tired hands grabbed the dead grass on the pit, and with a kick he stepped on the side of the sand pit.
"Yikes!"
As soon as he used his strength, he seemed to have kicked over something under his feet, Zhang Zhenyi's heart suddenly tightened, and then a burst of ecstasy rushed to his heart, and his whole body seemed to be filled with strength again, only to see him turn over and jump into the pit, holding a flashlight in his hand and shining it, and a dark clay pot was lying on one side of the bunker.
"Damn, I finally dug it up."
After a while, two swarthy clay pots that were exactly the same as the one he saw were dragged out of the sand pit, one of them was filled with stinky water as he had seen at the beginning, and the other was filled with several pounds of copper coins and four bright ingots.
When he returned home it was half past nine in the evening, and he did not have time to carefully clean the coins in the cloth bag, and fell asleep, and the cloth bag full of coins was hastily stuffed into his large closet, which no one but a mouse would have imagined that there would be a staggering fortune in this dilapidated closet.
The next day, because the school teacher had to participate in a review meeting in the county, so the whole school was on holiday, and he went out early in the morning to lock the unilateral wooden door, and then drilled into the house from the crack in the door.
After creating the illusion of not being at home, he pulled out the cloth bag from the closet, counted the whole bag of copper coins everywhere, and identified them one by one, although he did not know the quality of the coins, but with the knowledge of his previous life, he could also identify some extremely rare and precious coins, and it turned out that these coins were basically some common coins, so he had to wrap a few layers in a large bag and throw them into the closet.
Then he was full of excitement and picked up the four full value of gold ingots and observed them carefully, only to see that the bottom of the ingots was engraved with some of his own that had been blurred, but he could vaguely see the words of red gold, even if he didn't understand the value of these things, but the four full value of red gold ingots were still fifty taels, and he must have been able to exchange for a huge amount of nearly one million funds in this era.
After carefully storing these four things, Zhang Zhenyi opened the door again, although there was no farm work, but he had to grow some common vegetables by himself, in the countryside at this time, it is rare to see people who can afford pork from time to time, although it is only about a piece of price, but it is not something that most people can afford to use.
Fortunately, Batou Village is located at the water's edge, even if there is no pork, you can often catch fresh aquatic products, a pound of crucian carp can often be seen, in the village, Zhang Zhen is alone, but someone will often send him a fresh crucian carp or two, this person is Zhang Minzhong at the end of the village.
In the depths of the boy's memory, this person even has a little memory. A drink and a peck, all have a conclusion, the cause of planting, although the previous life did not bear fruit, this life has given the young man a chance to repay.
