Chapter 4 Work Notes
It was really in response to Hu Lao's blind words, which suddenly aroused my evil thoughts and reminded me of something. That's a work notebook left by my grandfather.
Those who don't know may think it's strange, people of your grandfather's generation either entered the factory or became educated youth, what other work notes can they have? What is written in the note? Write how many cows were released today, and how many acres of land were dug yesterday?
Of course not.
My grandfather's work notebook has a lot of origins, and the work on this notebook is not an ordinary job, but a job that can make people rich overnight.
In addition to my generation, our Chen family is in business, and we have been honest farmers for eight generations, but my grandfather's generation once went wrong and the seedlings grew crooked.
My grandfather's name is Chen Siyuan, our Chen family is very poor, my grandfather was mainly herding cattle for the landlord when he was a child, don't look at my grandfather who herds cattle for people diligently, but he is very unpopular, because he is particularly prone to illness.
What disease?
Slippery bone disease!
It's a rare name that most people may not have heard of, but it used to be called, and now in medicine, it's called 'congenital soft tissue dysplasia'. The joints on my grandfather's body are particularly easy to fall off, and it won't hurt to fall off, just push it back.
It is said that he was once having dinner with other long-term workers of the landlord's family, and his chin fell off while eating, and he hurriedly pushed it back, but by the time he pushed his chin well, there was not even half of the thick kang nest on the table.
My grandfather was very unpopular because of this strange disease, but once, there was a gold customer with a large bag on his back, that is, the person who used to pan for gold in the river.
When he heard about my grandfather's illness, he suddenly said: "I have a way to cure this disease, but it is my family's ancestral recipe, and I can't let outsiders know. ”
My grandfather's parents were overjoyed when they heard this. The two of them had a total of four girls and three boys, which in the past, every family was able to give birth to like this. The family has long been unable to open the pot, and now I can take my youngest son away, not only to give him a full mouth, but also to cure the disease, and to learn a gold panning craft, where to find such a good thing, immediately arranged for my grandfather to leave with the gold guest.
Needless to say, my grandfather went into the mountains with the gold guest, that is, his master, and then I knew that this person was a gold digger, and he was clearly a grave digger!
My grandfather was so frightened that he refused to work, and the grave robber grabbed him by the collar, pointed to the mouth of the fox-like cave in front of him, and said, "Boy, if it weren't for the fact that you are naturally slippery, I would have taken you?" Be obedient and obedient, and become my apprentice in the future, eat and drink spicy food, and you are indispensable. ”
It turned out that because there was a brick factory not far away, this person made the robbery hole very small and secret, and normal people could not drill through it, and only tomb robbers who had practiced bone shrinking skills could enter.
This person has practiced bone shrinking skills, and it is no problem to enter, but this is a big tomb, and you can't do it alone, you have to find a helper. And my grandfather was born with slippery bones, pushing the joints, the whole person is like a deflated balloon, can drill small holes, similar to the principle of bone shrinkage, just can become a helper.
My grandfather was only thirteen years old at that time, the tomb robber was fierce, he did not dare to disobey, he could only obey the order, the rest of the years, followed the tomb robber to the north and south, dug a lot of tombs, until one time, my grandfather was in the tomb of the trap, lame leg, the man let my grandfather go, and therefore, my grandfather learned the ability to rob the tomb.
This work notebook records my grandfather's experience of tomb robbing in those years, as well as his experience in tomb robbing and various exquisiteness.
If it weren't for him, a tomb robber who was cut to a thousand knives, I wouldn't have remembered my grandfather's work notebook.
Grandpa was a kind-hearted man, and he feared ghosts and gods, and after being released by the tomb robbers, he never did these things again, and went home to farm again, until later, because of me, my grandfather had to go back to his old business.
This has always been something I don't want to recall, and it can be said that it is one of the more painful things in my memory.
My grandfather always said that this was retribution, because he dug up too many people's ancestral graves, so retribution came.
My grandfather later married his daughter-in-law and had a child, that is, my father, it stands to reason that my grandfather is a good person, and the son he taught should not be sent anywhere, but my father is really not a thing, he is an alcoholic.
He never did farm work, wandered around the village all day long, did some things like stealing chickens and dogs, and molesting big girls, and one year, he made someone's belly bigger, that is, my mother, who was forced to get married and give birth to me.
But my dad was very dissatisfied with this, he beat and scolded my mother after drinking, and my mother left her husband and children and ran away with someone not long after, and my dad drank high again, slipped and fell to his death, leaving my grandfather and me, the two of them have to live, right?
Children have to go to school, right?
Relying on those few acres of thin land, there is no way to make a living, but the strange thing is that my grandfather not only supported me, but also sent me to study in the county seat. At that time, there were many people studying in our village, but many dropped out of school because of poverty. My grandfather was a lonely old man, and it was a great thing for me to be able to send me to school, in the eyes of the villagers. It wasn't until I was sensible that my grandfather told me that a penny was difficult for a hero, and he was forced to do nothing later, so he went to rob the tomb again, all without me.
He admonished me: "Tomb robbery is a detrimental deed, and I have given birth to such an unfortunate son, this is retribution." You keep this book, if one day I'm gone, or...... Or if something happens, you just look at it, it's a miss. ”
When I got this book, I had just entered junior high school, and I was still a half-grown child who didn't know much about it. When I saw my grandfather put it in my hand with a stern face, I thought that my grandfather was confessing his last words, and I was directly scared and cried. In the days that followed, grandpa went out, came back, went out, came back...... I saw that nothing had changed in my life, and I gradually forgot about the book.
Until, when I was about to go to high school and pay tuition, my grandfather went out again, but never came back...... I was reminded of this book and my grandfather's words again.
I don't know where my grandfather has gone, and I don't know if he is alive or dead...... Just sat at the head of the village day by day, holding the book and waiting for grandpa to come back.
I waited for a long time, but my grandfather didn't come back, and the family was poor and white at that time, and my grandfather's bizarre disappearance made the whole family ruined.
The people in the village took pity on me, and at that time, the south was engaged in economic development, so they took me out to work, and at the age of thirteen or fourteen, they worked in the construction site, and there was a shortage of manpower at that time, and there was no such thing as child labor. The investigation is not strict, relying on selling coolies, barely supporting myself, and then I have done it in all walks of life, and I have also known a lot of people from three religions and nine streams, and gradually made a fortune, but I didn't think that I would be beaten back to its original shape now.
The more I thought about it, the more unwilling I became, if it was really just to be beaten back to its original form. I haven't suffered anything, and I can live if I eat steamed buns and drink porridge, but if the debt on my ass can't be shaken off, I will lose my life.
I looked at my grandfather's work notes, which contained a lot of explanations of tomb robbing methods and techniques, as well as his various personal experiences, for people who want to rob tombs, this is a comprehensive tomb robbing guide, do I want it......
The next morning, someone came early in the morning to collect the rent, tofu burned his eyebrows in a hurry, drank porridge with a sad face, and said: "The same person, why do you say that our brothers are so unlucky." ”
I couldn't make up my mind last night, but the current situation is here, people are forced to do everything, so I drank porridge, silently, and said: "If you are not born poor, it depends on whether you dare to do it." ”
He blinked his eyes and said, "You have always had the most tricks, did you think of any good way to make money, let my brother and me get a piece of the pie." "This kid, when I beg you, I am my brother and brother, and I don't feel sorry for you.
I said, "I didn't want to do this, but I can't drink porridge anymore, and you can't pay the rent. I have a business to do, it's up to you to dare. ”
As soon as Tofu heard it, he said excitedly: "What dare you dare, as long as I don't smash the statue of Chairman Mao and his old man in front of Tiananmen Square, I dare to do anything." True to the old saying, if a person is poor and crazy, he will be bold.
I asked him to come over and tell him my plan, but when he heard it, his eyes widened, he swallowed his saliva, and said, "Go to rob the tomb?" When did you start thinking about this? ”
I said, "Scared? ”
There was obviously some fear on his face, his eyes rolled a few times, but he still nodded and said: "Hold on to the bold, starve the cowardly, I don't dare to go with others, but it's different with you, you kid is black and bold, you are probably scared when you see the ghost, you say, how to do it." ”
Immediately, the two of us planned in the house, grandpa's work notebook, I don't know how many times I have read it, the content has been deeply rooted in my mind, although I have experience, but I have not actually practiced, to really do it, I need to discuss it carefully.
Tomb robbery, in the black dialect of the industry, is also called 'inverted bucket', bucket, is the meaning of the coffin, poured thief, so called inverted bucket, of course, tomb robbing, there are all over the country, so the black language is not the same, for example, in our hometown, tomb robbery is not called inverted bucket, local tomb robbers, more accustomed to saying 'digging mushrooms'.
Because the grave is like a mushroom bag, it is called digging mushrooms, and in my grandfather's work notes, it does not say inverted buckets, but 'digging mushrooms'. Some of these black words are still used today, and some have changed with the change of the times, and I also read a news article a few days ago about the capture of a group of younger and fashionable tomb robbers, and their code words are more humorous, called 'archaeology'.
The two of us were also forced to go to Liangshan, and after the two of them finished planning, Tofu said: "I can't see it, you still know how to do this craft." But where are we going to dig mushrooms? In this Shenzhen City, there is only a cemetery, all buried are ash jars, and there are people guarding spirits in the cemetery, not to mention whether they can be dug up, even if they are dug out, the ashes jar is not worth much, right? ”
I couldn't help kicking this kid and said, "You shouldn't jump blindly when you're clever, and you're not clever when you're clever, can you break ground in this place?" "We can't find the ancient tombs, those ancient tombs, have already been in the change of the times, even the mushroom bag can not be seen, only some masters with secret arts, can find the deep buried tomb, like me and tofu such a novice, if you want to dig mushrooms, you can only dig modern fresh mushrooms, that kind of mushrooms can be seen with the naked eye.
He touched his buttocks, bared his teeth and grinned, "Okay, I'm stupid, then you can tell me, where are the mushrooms?" As long as you have a way to make your buddies rich, you can kick me every day. ”
I looked at the cat tied with the red rope tied and placed on the table, and said in a low voice: "Huiyong River, the tomb of the civil official." ”
