The old gentleman was almost at the end of his rope, and his hungry eyes were full of gold stars every day. He lay on the bed and thought that if he continued like this, it would definitely be over, but it was not easy to find Song Yichen to find a way, after all, his younger brother Song Erxiao also drowned because he broke the ice net with himself to quench his hunger. To this day, the bones have not been found, so he can't trouble Song Yichen anymore.

On this day, the old gentleman was wandering around the street, he wanted to go to the station to kick the three-wheeled passengers and make some money, but when he thought of his weak body, he could only shake his head, and he came to the People's Square again, he had heard Song Yichen say that this place has the largest passenger flow, and he wants to sell fruit here can also be regarded as self-reliance, unfortunately, red armbands are everywhere, not to mention stalls, smoking will be fined. He went to the steamed bun shop snack bar again, but it turned out that there was no recruitment at all.

The old gentleman sucked on his hungry stomach and planned to find a place to fill himself with tap water first, and then he wandered around to a store where two soldiers stood guard with guns, and the plaque of the store read the words "People's Exchange Office for Gold and Silver Products". Originally, this store was the largest gold store in Tianjin, but in that era, private gold was not allowed to be bought and sold, so it was converted into a gold and silver products exchange office.

The old gentleman saw that people were constantly coming in and out, so he also walked in.

There is an exchange formula posted on it, and there are special graders, and silver is divided into three cents and one gram in the first grade, and two cents and two cents in the second grade. Gold is divided into three pieces of five grams for low-level, four pieces of five grams for intermediate level, and one gram for six yuan for high-grade gold, among which someone holds more than 600 grams of gold for more than 3,000 yuan, and the greedy old gentleman's heart has entered his mouth, which is a huge amount of money that can buy tens of thousands of catties of grain!

I didn't have anything with iron in my pocket, so I had to leave here stupidly.

He still tied his pants with rope, and he only had a dime left in his pocket.

After wandering around until the afternoon, I don't know where I went, and the old gentleman guessed that it should be the suburbs.

He suddenly heard the crowd in front of him and rushed over to see that it was dozens of Red Guards digging an ancient tomb in a small park.

The ancient tomb stele was knocked down and smashed and broken on the ground, and the old gentleman heard others say that this is the cemetery of the abolished prince of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. Originally, it was a place for citizens to relax and recreation, but now they are all in ruins, and there are scenes of rebel Red Guards and invincible young generals demolishing ancient tombs, cemeteries and temples everywhere. At that time, the society was too boring, and as soon as something happened, countless people watched, and this place was quickly surrounded by people with three layers inside and three layers outside.

The old gentleman had come to the front of the field earlier, and at this moment the Red Guards were wielding shovels and pickaxes to dig the soil with all their might, as if they were digging the ancestral graves of their own enemies.

The soil was quickly dug up, and when I dug down, I heard Red Guards shouting: The soil layer has been compacted, and the more you dig it, the harder it becomes.

Fortunately, there were many people with great strength, and after ten minutes, they dug up a layer of soil with lime particles, and then continued to slowly show gray tomb bricks and a large amount of white lime.

When digging here, the Red Guards did not directly break the bricks to take the coffin, but saw one of the rebel leaders take out a small red notebook and recite words to the tomb. What kind of feudal society oppresses the people has long been overthrown, proletarianism and communist society will become the master of the world, no matter how you were a prince and nobleman in the past, now you can only be abandoned by history! Feudal society must be punished, and the exploiting class will inevitably be exposed and whipped.

The old gentleman looked around, he used the geographical technique in the "Shushan Universal Scripture" to survey the feng shui here, this tomb is at most five or six square meters of area, although the environment here is quiet, but the trees are dim, the wind is sullen and the air is swirling, and the terrain has been blocked by buildings and various buildings, and there is no trend and structure to be seen.

In any case, this is not a good feng shui cave at all, on the contrary, the tomb gate rushes to the road, and on the west side of the road is a very large textile factory, even if the times have changed the terrain, but this direction is not east and south is really incredible.

The old gentleman saw that the soil turned out was red and sticky, not only rough and accompanied by gravel, but also thought of the Shushan universal scriptures recorded in the Yin Mansion chapter: the good hole must sink into the mud, the soil is thin, the clay is accompanied by sand and gravel, and the burial person is poisonous.

Although no snakes and scorpions crawled out during the excavation, it was expected that once the bricks were opened, there would definitely be a foul smell and poisonous gas, so the old gentleman covered his mouth and nose in advance and waited for the moment when the Red Guards opened the tomb bricks.

Although the description of the geography of yin and yang in the "Shushan Universal Classic" is vague and difficult to understand, the old gentleman has read poetry and books after all, and many sentences have gradually become clear under continuous speculation. The book deals with the characteristics of the five elements of the earthly branches, the mountains and rivers, and the mystical relationship between the yang house and the yin house, and the blessing of the future generations.

This book also has a deep explanation of the dragon and the cave, but the old gentleman has never stepped into the cage mountain and the wilderness, so he can not appreciate the charm of the dragon cave of 'mountains and rivers win the world'.

Finally, after the head of the Red Guards finished some criticism, he waved his hand and ordered the young generals to excavate.

It seems that the tomb bricks are very strong, the pickaxe clicked twice, and it didn't even enter half an inch, and the young generals cleaned up the floating soil and moved a broken tombstone to smash the pickaxe into the gap in the tomb bricks. It was easy to remove the first layer of bricks after opening the gap, and soon most of the first layer of bricks was removed.

The head of the Red Guards signaled to open the second layer of tomb bricks, and the strong general with a pickaxe saw that the great work was about to be completed, and spit on the palm of his hand, and then turned the pickaxe to split it hard, this time the gap was found extremely accurately, only to hear a "bang", and the pickaxe split into more than ten centimeters.

The young generals praised the pickaxe to make people powerful, the strong guy was praised and couldn't help but win more, he yelled and wanted to pry out the tomb bricks, maybe the pickaxe went too deep, he had no angle advantage, even if he was blushing and his neck was thick, he didn't pry the bricks open.

At this time, the leader of the Red Guards took off his coat and threw it to one of the young generals, jumped into the tomb and exchanged a few words with the strong guy, and the tomb bricks were finally pried out with the help of the two of them.

In an instant, an indescribable stench came from the tomb, and the two Red Guards crawled out of the grave and vomited.

The crowd around also felt the stench, and hurriedly covered their noses and retreated, but the stench could not suppress their curiosity, and after the stench dissipated a lot, some people moved forward, constantly looking at the tomb.

The leader of the Red Guards vomited for a long time and finally stopped, and when he saw that everyone was surrounding him again, he wanted to stand up again, but when he turned around, he smelled the stench again, and he couldn't stop throwing up. At this time, a Red Guard general pinched his nose and came to the head to ask for instructions, and the Red Guard head gritted his teeth and stood up with vomiting, and he asked several of the Red Guards to destroy the tomb bricks as soon as possible.

The young generals received the order, and they covered their mouths and noses with their coats, jumped into the tomb and dug up again.

Soon, the bricks on the top of the tomb were pried off and fell on the coffin with a "thump" sound, and everyone was curious and crowded to the edge of the grave to watch. A Red Guard general used a shovel to knock down the gaps on both sides of the coffin, and after a period of busy work, a pitch-black coffin was revealed.

The old gentleman saw that the paint color of the wooden coffin had not faded, and the wood had been smashed by the tomb bricks but there were no pits, and he couldn't help but admire the "Shushan Universal Scripture" even more. Because there is such a sentence in the Yin House chapter: The condensation is hidden in the hole, the coffin is like a new life, if the sealed soil is viscous, the coffin newcomer rots early. This sutra is a jiazi, unless it is a high-quality wood, and the jade wraps its body, and the way of heaven can be delayed. According to the literal understanding, it is probably that if the coffin is well sealed when it is sealed, the air left in the tomb can keep the coffin as new for 60 years, but if it is sealed with sticky soil, although the coffin can be preserved for the same time, but the people inside have long since decayed, if the coffin is made of very good precious wood and the deceased takes the best jade in his mouth and then covers the whole body with jade, it can delay the decay of the corpse against the way of heaven.

The old gentleman thought to himself, if the expected is good, the body in the coffin has already decomposed, judging from the simplicity of this tomb, the coffin must not be made of high-quality wood, that is to say, this tomb should only exist for about sixty years, and it is definitely not buried during the Kangxi period as shown on the tombstone.

The onlookers saw that the coffin was as good as new, and some old people had already talked eloquently, saying that the funeral goods of the abolished prince of Kangxi in the coffin, which had not decayed for more than 300 years, must be even more amazing.

The old gentleman was disdainful in his heart, and waited for the Red Guards to open the coffin to find out.

When the Red Guards heard the discussion of the crowd, they looked as if they had made a historical feat and were remembered, and hurriedly asked the little head whether to open the coffin.

This time, the little leader of the revolution learned to be obedient, and asked someone to borrow a few gas masks from the textile factory before picking up a pickaxe and jumping into the grave.

Two pickaxes were used hard at both ends of the coffin, only to hear the "squeak", and the coffin was pried open!

The stench was overwhelming, and Rao was wearing a gas mask at the head of the Red Guards, but when he saw that the onlookers had run away, he squatted on the ground and retched, and he didn't hold back and vomited again.

After some attempts, the coffin was completely opened, and it was vaguely seen that the tattered robe and coat showed a human shape, but the corpse had long since decayed, the gray-white bones were scattered on the severely faded quilt, the corpse's skull was still facing the sky, and the black hole in the eyes and white Sensen's teeth made the onlookers' hair stand on end.

Suddenly, a teenager standing on the mound of sealed earth, probably frightened by the disgusting and terrifying scene, slipped and fell, and his scream shocked the hearts of the onlookers.

The old gentleman grabbed him quickly, but the young man was timid after all, and when the old gentleman dragged him, his legs kicked around, and kicked the head of the Red Guards into the coffin.

The leader of the Red Guards sat down in the coffin defenselessly, and he was shocked! Regardless of the fact that his ass was pierced by the ribs of the corpse, he hurriedly tried to get up and jump out of the coffin. But because he panicked, he didn't expect his clothes to be hung by the bones, and he fell into the coffin again. He was even more panicked now, and as soon as his hand grabbed the long furry braid, he thought it was something terrible and hurriedly threw it out, so frightened that the onlookers hid far away.

When the crowd gathered again, they saw that the little head of the Red Guards was frightened and fainted, lying crookedly in the coffin.

Several Red Guards hurriedly jumped in and lifted the little head out, and after a burst of pinching, the little head woke up.

He lost face in front of everyone, couldn't help but be annoyed, stomped his feet, scolded and jumped into the coffin and threw out all the contents inside.

He acted very quickly, and when everyone reacted, they saw that skulls, thigh sticks, bottles, jars, and all kinds of gold and silver jewelry were constantly thrown out of the coffin.

The old gentleman's eyes flickered, and a thumb-sized object flew in front of him, and he was afraid of smashing it and squatted down, but he saw a shining golden object hit his shoulder and fell to the ground.

The old gentleman was quick to pick up the object and stuffed it in his trouser pocket.

The scene was out of control, and the crowd of onlookers was frightened by the flying bones and debris and fled farther and farther away.

The old gentleman took advantage of the confusion and turned around and walked away quickly.

Sure enough, as he expected, this ancient tomb is not the tomb of the abolished prince of Kangxi three hundred years ago, it is the burial place of an ordinary landlord in the late Qing Dynasty.

The old gentleman took out a small gold ingot, which still emitted a stench, and saw the handwriting engraved on the bottom with one or two gold in the 23rd year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, and couldn't help laughing.

He hurried home and washed the little gold ingot countless times before he smelled that it didn't stink so much.

The old gentleman was lying on the bed playing with this little gold ingot, and the roast chicken, pig's head, and pig's trotters appeared in front of him, and he was so happy that he didn't feel hungry.

Song Yichen didn't come back until the evening, he took out half of the flattened steamed bun from his pocket and said to the old gentleman: "The social situation is very bad now, the hospital has reduced everyone's ration standard, and it will be difficult to rub steamed buns in the future." ”

The old gentleman took out the gold ingot and told Song Yichen about it, and the two of them hurriedly found out the only coal slag to make a good stove, and took turns to fan the stove in a crazy way before the words one or two catties of Qing Guangxu 23 years were melted.

The next day, the old gentleman exchanged the two gold for 300 yuan, bought a lot of food and returned to Song Yichen's house.

The two drank wine, ate roast chicken, and pig's trotters, and cried bitterly when they thought of their relatives who died tragically.

The old gentleman gave Song Yichen 200 yuan, because Song Yichen has been talking about the object, but he has been hanging due to his identity and poverty, and with 200 yuan, he can have a wedding and have a little surplus. The old gentleman said that Song Yichen is his own brother, and the future generations of the two will become righteous brothers.
