Chapter 1 Being deceived into joining the gang
August 1996.
A certain mountain in the north.
Li You handed the sapper shovel up, and Mo Liancheng immediately stretched out his hand and dragged him up. Li You took off his gas mask, breathed in the fresh air on the ground, and looked at the thief hole he had dug while wiping his sweat, his mood was still a little trance-like and felt very unreal.
"Tsk, this thief hole is really good." Shi Guangsheng, who spoke Henan, pinched a handful of moist soil in his hand, looked at the thief hole made by Li You, and gave a thumbs up.
Mo Liancheng pushed Shi Guangsheng, patted Li You on the shoulder and said, "That's not it, Li You is a college student, it's the ...... What a high-achieving student of civil engineering! It's called a professional counterpart, you know no! How can you be like you, a bastard, who said that you were born as a sapper, and you can dig a sinkhole if you dig a thief hole, as if you are afraid that others will not know that you are digging other people's ancestral graves! "
Looking at the two living treasures in front of him, Li You couldn't cry or laugh. A few days ago, he had never imagined that he would be reduced to working with two tomb robbers.
Thinking back on what happened in the past few days, Li You was like in a dream, everything was so unreal.
He was originally a top student in the civil engineering department of a famous university in the north, and he just graduated this year, just in time for the first train to be unemployed after graduation.
Although the job is not allocated, after all, college students are not as widespread as the road goods that followed, and graduates like him who specialize in the art industry, as long as they are not ambitious, it is relatively simple to find a job.
Moreover, in the south where reform and opening up are in full swing, construction is being carried out at this time, and even fresh graduates are in high demand. Li Youzheng was young and enthusiastic, received his graduation certificate, and with 300 yuan in his arms, he bought a hard seat for the south and embarked on a journey to Pengcheng.
The moment he stepped on the train, Li You's heart was boiling. My mind is full of thinking, when I arrive in the special zone full of opportunities, how to spread my fists and feet and fight for a good foundation. At this time, I was full of ambition, similar to those lottery players who had two dollars in their hands and five million in their hearts. However, he didn't know that he was embarking on a road of no return......
When he got off the train, a thin girl passed by Li You and staggered him, he didn't know what was wrong with his lack of social experience, but after getting off the train, he found that his wallet had already disappeared.
Li You was blinded.
Although 300 yuan is not much, it is his living expenses for the next period of time, and in this unfamiliar city, without it, he will be reduced to the streets.
The communication of this era was not as developed as later, and Li You's hometown was a remote rural area, and it was unrealistic to make a phone call to go home for help. It's even more nonsense to ask classmates and friends for help, they are all just graduating and looking for a job, which one can take care of him.
Touching the pockets on his body and finding that the dozens of yuan of change after buying the ticket were still on his body, Li You finally breathed a sigh of relief. Save money, you don't have to worry about stomach problems in the past two days. As long as you can find a job within a day or two, the current difficulties will be over.
rushed to the doctor in a hurry, and saw that there were many employment agencies next to the train station, Li You didn't pick one, found one casually, and strode in. But soon, he walked out with his travel bag in his hand.
The intermediary office here is really dark, and the job has not yet been settled, so you have to pay an intermediary fee of 200 yuan first. He can't even take out 50 yuan on him, let alone 200. If you still have some money to spare, do you still want to look for a job at an agency? Take your time and find a random construction company, isn't the job easy to get started?
Just when Li You was helpless outside the station, Mo Liancheng and Shi Guangsheng appeared. The two of them were dressed as nouveau riche, and first one of them came over and asked Li You to borrow a fire to light a cigarette, and after they started talking, they began to flicker.
When they flickered, the two said that they were engaged in architecture and needed to find a professional talent, which was Li Youxue's major, and under the great joy, Li You immediately volunteered to take the job.
Then they asked Li You if he knew how to read feng shui, because he really needed a job at that time, Li You also took it seriously, patted his chest, and told them that civil engineering is what he learned! In retrospect, I really can't live by myself!
But then again, although the school has never taught folk miscellaneous studies such as feng shui and geography, the old professor who usually has a special relationship is proficient in this way, and Li You has learned a little bit from him. Usually has nothing to do, Li You often brings a bottle of liquor and a bag of peanuts to chat with him. often drunk to the heart, so he set up a dragon gate array, and told Li You some strange things that he heard when he was young when he traveled south and north.
Another time, the old man drank too much, and took out an old book that was riddled with insects from the bookcase and stuffed it to Li You. The cover is already in tatters, and the title of the book is "The Ten Methods of Secret Collection", the title of the book is fresh, Li You usually reads all the books in a mess, but this title has never been seen.
But the following signature frightened Li You for a while. The author is Li Jie.
This name may be unfamiliar to others, but for those who study civil engineering and architecture, it is impossible not to recognize it. Master architect of the Northern Song Dynasty. compiled a "Construction of the French Style", which is a figure who has left a strong pen and ink in the history of architecture.
At that time, Li You felt that "The Ten Methods of the Secret Collection" was a work of pretense, and he didn't care about it at the time, so he put it on his desk after taking it back, and read some of it at random in his spare time, except for a little obscure content, most of it was quite interesting.
The book mentions some superb secret methods for finding dragon points, but the content is too mysterious, Li You doesn't know what to say at all, and there are a lot of structures about the construction of mausoleum organs, and there are some things that seem very mysterious, such as using the mysteries of gathering wind and hiding water, arranging the feng shui bureau of life and killing, controlling the fate of future generations through the tombs of the dead, etc.; But it's more about telling strange and strange stories all over the world, and the history of barnyard officials. In my spare time, it is a good choice to use it as a notebook to read novels.
……
Lies are always easy to debunk.
After being taken to Luoyang by the two guys, Li You began to feel that something was not quite right.
But at first, I just felt a little skeptical, and didn't think anything else. But after the two of them took him into the depths of Beibi Mountain, he became vigilant, whose construction team would be in the deep mountains! And at this time, the two didn't feel that they had anything to hide, and told Li You their true identity.
Mo Liancheng is not a contractor engaged in construction projects at all, but a dealer of cultural relics. Usually, the two of them go from house to house in remote villages, and at very low prices, they buy valuable antique and second-hand goods. It's just that doing this line of work is inherently leaky, seven points depend on luck, two points depend on eyesight, and one point depends on strength. Not to mention the hard work, you can't make a lot of money. And now the people in the countryside have learned to be smart, and they know that the treasures handed down by their ancestors are valuable, and they are not willing to sell them casually. The business between the two became more and more difficult, so they decided to change careers.
Mo Liancheng's ancestors had done tomb robbing and passed down a lot of tomb robbing skills, Mo Liancheng and Shi Guangsheng combined for a while, and then decided to change their careers to rob tombs. Anyway, I have been a cultural relics dealer for many years, and I have a fixed sales channel, and I am not afraid that no one will accept the unearthed artifacts.
So the two went to Pengcheng, got rid of the goods they had recently received, bought equipment by the way, and prepared to go back to "raise the coffin and make a fortune".
But tomb robbing is not delicious. If you don't get it right, you'll lose your life. So I had to find a "professional" partner who could see the good luck and evil of the tomb. But as we all know, the tomb robbers who are active in Henan and Shaanxi are all partners with family neighbors, relatives and acquaintances. Never trusting strangers, so the two can't find a new partner.
When he saw Li You, Mo Liancheng saw that Li You was tall and big, and he looked anxious, so he moved to find one more strong man to participate in his team, and went over to find Li You to talk about it, but what he didn't expect was that Li You was still from studying civil engineering and architecture. Mo Liancheng and Shi Guangsheng, who are not highly educated, don't know the difference between civil engineering and feng shui, so Li You was recruited by the two as "professionals".
When he first learned the identities of the two, Li You was very frustrated. It was bad enough that the money and documents on his body were stolen, and he didn't expect that people were also abducted into this mountain by two guys. The two told him the truth, spread their hands, and let Li You choose whether to go down this black road with them, or leave them behind and go back along the road by himself. Just make sure not to expose them.
Li You was stupid on the spot.
It was the first time for Li You to come to this mountain, and the two of them had taken him around for two days, and he could still recognize the way. Besides, he has no money on his body, and he doesn't even have an ID card, how can he walk? When they get outside, no matter how unlucky they are, they may be arrested as blind streams and sent to labor camps for deepening reform.
At this point, Li You had to hold the idea of breaking the jar, and did not hesitate for long to agree to join the gang. Mo Liancheng was also very happy, and he didn't mention how much he would pay Li You, he stretched out four fingers and said to Li You: "Xiaoyou, brother doesn't lose you, after digging out the treasure and selling it for money, I will share you with 30% ......."
