Chapter 441: Temptation One
In recent years, the scale of Harbin has become larger and larger. Three cemeteries were set up in the northeast of Harbin a few years ago. They are the Municipal Cemetery, the Japanese Cemetery, and the Lujin Cemetery.
The Exposed Cemetery is dedicated to burying those wanderers who died of cold and starvation on the streets. Especially now, due to the arrival of the Japanese pioneer group, a large number of landless peasants have poured into Harbin. People die in the streets almost every day.
It's summer, and if it's winter, more people will die.
The bodies of these people will be dragged to the dew cemetery and hastily buried.
The dead buried in this way are usually buried relatively shallowly, and the wild dogs in the vicinity smell the stench of rotting corpses coming from the soil, so they run over to pick up the soil on them and gnaw on the bones of the dead.
Chen Mingyi followed behind Xiaobao and walked tremblingly. If it weren't for following Xiaobao, a kid who is not afraid of heaven and earth, he wouldn't dare to come here alone.
Xiaobao walked in front and beat the drum in his heart. Who in the cemetery did not feel frightened when they saw the wild dogs in the cemetery with blood-red eyes, shiny fur and slimy saliva hanging from the corners of their mouths? He thought it was more terrifying than the wolves he saw on the mountain.
Xiaobao clenched the shovel in his hand tightly, and if a wild dog pounced, he would cut its head!
Two men turned from Da'an Street and walked to the left into the cemetery.
"How old is that woman? What is it for? Xiaobao asked suddenly.
Chen Mingyi was a little strange, Xiao Bao didn't speak all the way, why did he suddenly ask about these things now.
Xiaobao walked into the graveyard with wild dogs at night, and felt a little weak. He just wanted to find something to talk about to distract himself.
"She's sixteen. I heard her own say that her family used to be quite rich, but after the Japanese came, they were defeated. My parents died, and I couldn't live in my hometown, so I followed my brother to Harbin. Chen Mingyi replied.
"She's only sixteen? It is said that it is also the age to get married. But it's a good match for me, marrying you is a bit of an old cow eating tender grass. Xiaobao shook his head and said regretfully.
"I'm only thirty!" Chen Mingyi said unconvinced.
Now it is normal for a man to marry a wife who is a teenager and is nothing.
"You lie down on the kang every day to read, how did you know her?" This is what Xiaobao cares about and wants to ask the most.
"I sometimes go to the Harbin Special Municipal Library on Chunshen Street in Nangang to look for books, and that's where I met her. She worked in the library. Chen Mingyi replied.
"Don't look down on her, she's a cultured person. When I was at home, I went to a national elite school. Chen Mingyi added.
In the current Manchukuo, the primary school is called the National School. The high school is known as the National Excellence School. The secondary school is called the National Higher School. In this way, this girl is still a person who has read high school. This year, it is already very good, and it can be regarded as a cultural person.
Xiaobao felt very uncomfortable when he heard Chen Mingyi say this. It's as if Chen Mingyi is sarcastically mocking his illiterate.
"It's all forced to the point where we're going to dig a grave, and this dowry is too high, right?" Xiaobao asked angrily.
"As I said, she went to Harbin with her brother. Her brother is sick and lives in the Schulders Hospital. It takes a lot of money to cure the disease. Chen Mingyi explained.
Xiaobao stopped talking. Schuldez Hospital is a hospital opened by the German Schuldez and is famous in Harbin. It seems that what Chen Mingyi said is true.
It's not easy to walk in a mass graveyard, and there are no serious roads at all. The two men accidentally walked onto a dirt bag, and it was likely that a dead man was buried underneath.
From time to time, Xiaobao looked left and right to see if any wild dogs followed.
Since there is a tree as a sign, the fake grave that Xiaobao and Chen Mingyi are looking for is also easy to find. No one would have thought that someone would bury something so valuable here.
"I'm digging, you're watching a little wild dog on the side." Xiaobao said to Chen Mingyi.
"I'll dig it up, and you'll look at the wild dogs." Chen Mingyi looked around the dark surroundings and felt creepy, this kind of scary work is better for Xiaobao to dry. He'd rather sweat a little more.
Xiaobao unceremoniously handed the shovel to Chen Mingyi, squatted down against the big tree, pulled out a big white pole and pumped it up.
People in the Northeast used to smoke directly. The Jew Lao Ba took Harbin and opened a paper cigarette factory, and the Harbin people gradually smoked paper cigarettes. Everyone calls this kind of smoke a big white pole.
Xiaobao was smoking a big white pole while thinking about making money. The first thing Chinese think of when they have a little money is to buy a few acres of land and become a rich landowner. Those rich turtle owners work with the long-term workers, and there is not much money left over from eating bran vegetables all year round.
But when the Jews had money, the first thing they thought of was to buy and sell. The big white pole in his hand was produced by the Jew Lao Ba. The most famous hotel in Harbin is the Jewish Gaspu's. Even the bakery on Da'an Street that I passed by just now was also opened by the Jew Lao Meijin.
Lao Tzu wants to learn from the Jews and take the money to do business. Xiaobao made up his mind while swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog.
Seeing Chen Mingyi pouting his ass and digging a hole there clumsily, Xiaobao couldn't help but say, "Hurry up!" Lao Tzu is waiting to use it as capital to make money! ”
Chen Mingyi raised his head and looked at Xiaobao in a daze, not knowing what was going on.
With a bang, the tip of the shovel touched a hard object. It should be the jar that was buried.
Chen Mingyi threw the shovel aside, bent down and reached out to pick at the soil. In a few moments a jar was pulled out of the earth.
Chen Mingyi looked up at Xiao Bao's face hidden in the shadow of the tree. But all he could see was a light and a dark cigarette butt.
"Smash the jar with a shovel!" Xiaobao said.
"Isn't it going to be too much?" Chen Mingyi asked worriedly.
Xiaobao patted his waist. There are also two tough guys here, and he is not afraid of anyone. Besides, who would dare to come to the grave in the dark light?
Chen Mingyi was ruthless, and as soon as he went down with a shovel, he heard a loud bang, and the jar shattered.
Even in the dark night, Xiaobao's eyes flashed. This yellow and clear color is just beautiful!
Chen Mingyi had been prepared for a long time. He took a piece of cloth one foot square from his pocket and spread it on the ground, and then put all the gold bars pressed under the fragments of the jar one by one on top of the cloth.
Xiaobao just looked down at Chen Mingyi's movements and didn't move. He and Chen Mingyi are lifelong friends, and they have nothing to fear from each other. Otherwise, now is the time when two people are most worried, worried about being hacked by each other!
Chen Mingyi picked up all the gold bars, wrapped them in fabric, and walked to Xiaobao with them: "Brother, I said in advance, one and a half." There are a total of twenty-three large yellow croaker, twelve for you and eleven for me. ”
"Don't fight, you have twelve, the rest is mine. That's the money I gave you to marry your daughter-in-law. I said that you will return it to me when I marry a wife in the future. Xiaobao said in an unquestioning tone.
The little bandit goes to the end of the world
