After the Heaven Breaker finished talking about his experience of picking up copper coins, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's all my greed!" ”

"Less!" Xiao Ah Si scolded: "You hurry up and say the next thing, why did you embark on the road of crime because of a copper plate?!" Why did you meet that fire-tailed cat demon? ”

After thinking for a while, the Broken Heaven Master told us: "When I was still Li Douniu, one day I had nothing to do to kick the shuttlecock and play ......."

That time, Li Douniu kicked the shuttlecock high, flew directly over the wall, and smashed it on the head of an old man. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

With a miserable scream, Li Douniu knew that he had hit someone, so he hurriedly ran out to see what was going on.

At this time, he found that he hit a "porter" who walked the streets and alleys. Li Douniu, the porter, also happened to know him, because he used to take scorpions and medicinal herbs from that guy in exchange for snacks.

At that time, in the countryside, the currency transaction was still a relatively primitive stage, each household had no spare money, to exchange for some industrial supplies, often would take surplus agricultural products from these people who picked up the burden of goods directly in exchange, children naturally did not have pocket money, but they had the medicinal herbs dug up in the mountains and the fish and shrimp picked up in the river, and these things, the merchant often did not refuse.

What made Li Douniu feel strange was that the bald merchant's head was smashed out of a big bag by the shuttlecock, but he didn't cry out in pain, but took the shuttlecock and kept looking at it, his eyes lit up, as if he saw some great treasure.

Li Douniu stretched out his hand in confusion and said, "Give me back my shuttlecock!" ”

The merchant was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Douniu and said, "Child, give me this shuttlecock!" I'll trade you with my baby! ”

The merchant's attitude surprised Li Douniu very much, he was clever, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he hurriedly snatched back the copper money shuttlecock, and then asked the merchant: "What to exchange?" ”

The merchant smiled, took out a brand new shuttlecock from the load and said, "This!" ”

Li Douniu is not stupid, although he was only eight or nine years old at the time, but he also knew that if a person exchanged something new for an old thing, it would not be kind, and there must be something strange in it.

Therefore, he shook his head and said, "No, you tell me why you want to change with me first." ”

The merchant realized that the boy was a difficult master, but the copper coin was too tempting for him, so he could only keep increasing the price and said: "How about I give you five pieces of 'Cuban sugar' in addition to this new shuttlecock?" ”

While talking, the merchant took out the new shuttlecock and five pieces of Cuban sugar, and was about to exchange treasures with Li Douniu when he spoke.

But Li Douniu still refused, he just asked curiously: "Tell me why you want to exchange shuttlecocks with me, what's so greasy?!" ”

As soon as the reckless bald old man saw that the "deception" could not be achieved, he reached out to grab it, wanting to use brute force to snatch the copper coin from Li Douniu's hand.

This time, things are getting bigger.

Although Li Douniu is small, he is very flexible, and he escaped the old man's big hand with a "catfish scale", and at the same time fled back to his house with a squeak.

Subsequently, he collided with his father.

Back then, Li Douniu's father had just become the village chief of Zhaojialou Village, in his thirties, very young, and he was also incompatible with fire and water.

The young chief of the village ran out because he heard his son's shouts, and when he saw the old man chasing after him, he drove the old man out without saying a word.

Afterwards, the village chief asked Li Douniu why the merchant chased him, Li Douniu faced his father's question, and did not dare to hide anything, so he respectfully took out the shuttlecock made of copper coins from his arms.

As soon as Li Douniu's father saw the copper coin, his eyes were straight, and he snatched the copper coin from his son's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get it?!" ”

Li Douniu looked at his father's burning eyes, afraid that his father would beat him after knowing about his tomb robbery, so he couldn't help but lie and say that he found the money when he turned the scorpion on Shirengu Mountain, and later made it into a shuttlecock.

After listening to his son's words, the village chief patted his son's head and said, "If you pick up this kind of thing in the future, you will bring it back." But don't tell outsiders, understand? ”

Li Douniu nodded ignorantly.

That night, the village chief made a meal of pork stew noodles for his son to eat, and he smiled mysteriously at his son, while holding the copper coin tightly with one hand, as if he had made a big bargain.

...... Hearing this, I asked puzzledly: "What kind of copper coin is it, your father and the merchant are eager to buy it, so charming?" ”

The Broken Heaven Master scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Another year has passed since this incident, and I learned from my father's drunken chatter that the copper coin I picked up back then was not copper, but gold!" ”

"Golden?!" We were all stunned.

After nodding his head, the Heavenbreaker told us where the money came from.

It turned out that the coin was not a copper coin at all, but a gold coin called "reward money"!

Li Douniu later learned that the so-called "merit money" was an honor specially awarded to meritorious officials and civilians by the imperial court in the Ming Dynasty, similar to a "commemorative medal". This kind of money is not used as circulation, so it is scarce and is mostly minted in gold and silver. At first glance, it looks no different from ordinary copper coins, but in the hands of connoisseurs, it is real money, and the price is naturally hard.

The reason why Li Douniu's father knew him was because when he was fighting against Zhao Qingshan, the "kitchen man", he followed the Red Guards to search out such a batch of things from the ancestral tomb and ancestral house of the Zhao family, and the gold coin was one of the "ironclad evidence" of Zhao Qingshan's counter-revolution, so the village chief looked at his son's shuttlecock, recognized this treasure at a glance, and easily pocketed him, and exchanged a lot of money to supplement the family.

But what the village chief never expected was that his own unconscious behavior had an immeasurable impact and shadow in Li Douniu's heart.

When he was a child, like all children in the countryside, life was very difficult and scheming.

When he knew that there was such a big fortune passing by him, the gap in his heart suddenly appeared.

He didn't understand life, and he didn't understand why his father, like the porter, wanted to "cheat" the gold coin from him, and didn't explain the truth to him.

Since then, Li Douniu, who knew the truth, went crazy and went to the ancestral tomb of the Zhao family every once in a while, his idea was very simple, that is, he hoped that the god of luck would visit again, so that he could pick up a golden treasure.

Unfortunately, it seems that fate played a joke on him, and in the following years, he entered the ancestral tomb of the Zhao family countless times, and finally took the ancestral tomb as his home, but he never found that kind of coin.

Although he had already understood that after the excavation of the ancestral tomb of the Zhao family by the Japanese, the Red Guards, and Zhao Deguang and countless other people, there were very few things left, but he just couldn't let go of the knot in his heart and the hatred in his heart!

It wasn't until one day, when the thirteen-year-old Li Douniu went to the cemetery again to "dig for treasures", that he saw that kind of coin again.

And that experience of "robbing the grave" changed his life forever.
