Looking at the dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry and a box of gold bars, the family was not only not a little excited, but thought about it with great fear.

Once these things are discovered by the government and put on the hat of the landlord and gentry, the He family will have to be implicated for generations.

Now that the gold and silver treasures have been dug up, what should we do with them? Where can these deadly things be safest?

The big stubborn, Li Guixiang and Da Han were at a loss and couldn't come up with foolproof ideas.

After thinking about it again and again, he felt that there was no other way but to hide deep underground. Now I am digging the floor, which is a good opportunity to hide deep on the spot, so that you can not show your feet, otherwise you will find another place to bury, and it is easy to leave traces of excavation and be easily exposed.

He told his family what he thought, and no one objected, and he couldn't object.

So, he asked his father to pour out two large family jars, put gold, silver, jade, jade and antiques into the jar and seal them, he found the tools for digging tree pits last spring, and jumped into the house again with Dahan.

The house was already more than a meter deep from the ground, and the yak was ready to dig a trench at least two meters deep down.

Just do it, hesitate, and must race against time.

The real estate did not dare to light the lamp, only borrowed a little starlight.

According to the layout of the house, the location of the hiding point was selected under the kang of the east house and began to excavate.

The hard soil layer below one meter of the house is full of clay and gravel, and it is very difficult to dig the trench.

Yakzi and Dahan began to dig together, but later only one person could be allowed to dig in the trough, and the two alternated.

Finally, it was dug to a depth of about two meters, and the stool dug a small trench nearly one meter deep.

At this point, the time is close to dawn, and this is the only way to go.

The two rosewood boxes were placed into the deepest small trough, filled with clay and sand and tamped down, and the two jars were placed side by side into the trough above the small trough, filled with clay around them, and then buried them with sand and gravel.

Dahan carried a thick log, tamped the trough, and cleaned up the remaining soil.

That night, the whole family didn't close their eyes.

Early in the morning of the second day, before dawn, Da Stubborn, Yakzi and Da Han began to backfill the Sanhe soil in the house.

When it was dawn, several of his good brothers rushed to help.

The house was backfilled with half-meter-deep triple soil and began to be tamped.

Stone rammers are cobblestone more than a meter high, fixed with wood and tied with ropes.

When ramming, the two people moved the stone rammer, and the four people shouted the trumpet up and down, first ramming the point and then ramming the eye, and then ramming the eye, and then ramming over and over again.

The ramming scene rises and falls, the trumpets rise and fall, it is very lively, and there are many fathers, villagers, and children around to watch.

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as an impermeable wall.

Everyone was working in full swing, and they saw Zhao Kai, the commander of the militia company of the production brigade, leading a column of armed militia to the scene majestically.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." The militia separated the onlookers left and right.

The ramming stopped, and the yak stepped forward, guessing who must have gotten the news, and the one who should have come will always come, don't expect this matter to be over.

"Hello, Company Commander Zhao, what has alarmed you?" Yakzi greeted Zhao Kai.

"Someone reacted to the brigade, saying that you dug up a wooden box from the floor, right?" Zhao Kai asked.

"Yes, my father said that it was a thing buried in the town house when he built the house."

"Is it a thing of the town, how do you know if you don't look at it? All buried objects dug up in the ground must be handed over to the public, don't you know the policy? ”

"The key is that this is our own, and it's not a valuable thing, my father said that there is an evil sword and a ceramic toad in it."

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing, dig it out and see."

"You can't dig it, and the things you bury in the town house can't see the light of day." The big stubborn man insisted on his argument and expressed his opposition.

Zhao Kai said: "Uncle, this is not up to you, in case your family is a hidden landlord and gentry, buried gold, silver and jewelry, in a vain attempt to reverse the calculation, and make a comeback, we have the responsibility to eliminate all class enemies and give an explanation to the exploited and oppressed people." ”

As soon as the big stubborn man heard this, he was so frightened that his legs and stomach turned and he didn't dare to interfere with words.

"Company Commander Zhao, you can't talk nonsense, my family is so poor that it is clanging, and the parents and villagers of Xingxingtun can see it, how can it be a hidden landlord and gentry?" He was calmer and tried his best to defend himself.

It is intentional for him to defend himself like this, otherwise he will not say anything, and it will be easy for people to misunderstand that the He family has acquiesced.

"I just say in case, there is no other meaning, everything must be based on facts, is it a hidden landlord and gentry, open the box and see the truth, the government will not wronged the good people, nor will it let the bad people go."

Zhao Kai's attitude softened, but insisted on checking the wooden box.

"According to the traditional rules, the buried things in the town house can't see the light of day, Company Commander Zhao, can you be considerate."

It's not that he doesn't want to open the wooden box, but he wants to try his best to cover up the facts and prove that what he said is true.

Zhao Kai said: "What age is it, you have read books and understand the current national policy, don't blame me for not reminding you, now you are against feudal superstition and Taoism, you don't know." ”

"In that case, I don't have anything to say, it's better to dig it out and let everyone see, so that some people don't get suspicious." He deliberately pretended to be unhappy.

After the barn finished speaking, the tamping could only be stopped temporarily, and everyone began to dig wooden boxes according to the area demarcated by the bar, and the militia was on the scene.

The parents and villagers of Xingfutun heard that they were going to dig up the wooden boxes buried by the He family, and they were very concerned, and the more people gathered in the house, they all waited and waited.

It didn't take much effort, the surrounding soil spread out over a large area, and the box was exposed again, and the fox deliberately dug into the box lock with a spade, destroying the box lock.

Zhao Kai and the militia saw this scene, and Zhao Kai commanded to dig in from the periphery on the spot.

In the end, the group dug up the wooden box completely, and there was a stone turtle buried under the wooden box, and there was nothing else.

Zhao Kai stepped forward and personally inspected the wooden box in front of everyone, and the big stubborn, Da Han and the yak were very nervous.

Except for the wrought copper lock, the rest of the wooden box remained intact and had no flaws.

Zhao Kai personally opened the wooden box, which contained a sword, a toad porcelain, six silver ingots, a dozen silver dollars and some copper coins.

There was nothing too valuable, and the onlookers were a little disappointed.

Even so, these things are not something that ordinary people can have, especially the Nanmu box, which only large families deserve.

Time has passed, and the general people in Tunli do not know the past of the He family, and only some old people still have some impressions.

More than 30 years ago, almost all the land in Xingfutun and the neighboring Wanbaotun and Gushantun belonged to the He family, and some old people worked as hired farmers and tenants of the He family.

Of course, these old people knew that the He family's business was ruined and their land was sold, and they were even poorer than them.

More than ten years ago, when the family composition was demarcated, the land reform working group examined the He family, and at this time, the He family had no land and wealth, and because of their meritorious service in supporting the anti-Japanese resistance, they were luckily classified as poor peasants.

Now that these things are dug up, the people in Tunli will inevitably talk about it and comment on it.

Sister Hua talked the most, and said: "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, three poor and three rich have reached old age, I seem to have heard that the ancestors of the He family are in the scenery, but I am not sure, but I just heard, who would have thought that the ancestors would have two broken grass houses left in the hands of the big stubborn, not to mention, thanks to this, otherwise, they would have become landlords and rich peasants." ”

"That's not a big deal, there are some things that I really can't say, and I don't know how to characterize them yet," a woman chimed in, "and too, if you have to build a big house, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." ”

Sister Hua said: "People's life, God is destined, the yak is capable, if you don't listen to me, if you listen to me, how can you stand up for this, in my judgment, it's strange if you don't go online." ”

The people who eat melons are not afraid of chaos, and everyone is gossiping.

Witnessed by everyone, Zhao Kai organized the militia to carry the wooden box and the contents away, saying that they were going to take it to the production team for identification.

The militia left, and the big stubborn family breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and the gang and the others filled in the big hole dug up and continued to ram.

In the evening, the backfill of the house was completed, and the rammed floor was more than half a meter deep from the ground.

Tomorrow the foundation of the wall will be built with stones on the floor, and the foundation of the wall will be completed, and the rest of the place will be backfilled and tamped.

Let's say that Zhao Kai carried the Nanmu box to the militia company of the production brigade, and the cadres of the brigade came to watch.

Liu Zhishu of the brigade looked at the Nanmu box and the contents of the box thoughtfully, and inspired everyone: "Tell me, what kind of family can have such a Nanmu box?" Why is such a good chest buried in the ground? Is it worth using such a large box with only those few things? It's a big fuss, obviously a fool, and the ghost won't believe it. ”

Captain Jiang Fa asked, "Company Commander Zhao, have you been staring at the scene when you were digging this box?" Don't you see any flaws? ”

"All the militia were staring at the scene, and the soil and rocks around the box were very hard," Zhao Kai said, "At that time, the box was locked, and we all saw it, but we were accidentally dug up with a spade, and we didn't find any flaws." ”

"The lock was dug up by a skewer? This may be the problem, isn't the lock not open now, but the box is open. Liu Zhishu said, "I suspect that such a large box will never contain just these few things, maybe someone has done something in advance." ”

When the cadres of the brigade heard Liu Zhishu say this, no one refuted it.

Liu Zhishu continued: "Take a step back, just rely on these few things, it shows that the owner of the box was at least a wealthy family in the past, if it is found out that there are gold, silver and jewelry hidden in the box, it proves that the owner of the box is a local tyrant and inferior gentry hidden in the members of the society. ”

When the cadres of the brigade heard Liu Zhishu's analysis, they would rather believe in it than believe in it, and they all felt that it made sense.

Liu Zhishu continued: "I suggest that this matter be reported to the commune, ask the commune police station to come forward, and immediately block the scene, your militia company, you must carefully cooperate with the investigation, do not let go of any details, visit the members of the commune more often, especially the elderly people who know the truth, to find out the facts, not to wronged the good people, but also must not let go of the bad people." ”

No one objected to Liu Zhishu's analysis, and no one objected to his words.

Then, Liu Zhishu ordered the Nanmu box to be sealed and temporarily locked in the warehouse.

According to the instructions of Liu Zhishu, Zhao Kai personally went to the People's Commune to report, and the other militia quickly returned to Xingfutun and blockaded the Qizi's house.

Da Stubborn, Li Guixiang, Yakzi and Da Han were all taken to the production brigade and awaited interrogation.
