Huo Buqiang got up at six o'clock the next morning, and after breakfast, he rode a motorcycle to Wang Village.

saw Wang Youxiang talking to two gray-haired old men, although they spoke in the local dialect, they could still understand the meaning.

An old man with long eyebrows said, "His grandfather was the richest man in the surrounding townships, and there were many grain stores, cloth shops and medicine shops in Hong Kong City, and the whole Wang Village was his family's land."

Another old man with a hunched back said, "I heard that in the past, rich people would stuff some gold and silver coins on the ridge and foot of the wall when building a house.

Wang Youxiang thought to himself: No wonder the two old men looked around the demolition site early in the morning, it turned out that they were playing this kind of idea.

Wang Youxiang said, "This is just a legend, and it may not really exist. If there really is, the disdainful children and grandchildren of the family would have been hollowed out long ago."

Huo Buqiang said: "No wonder when I went to dismantle those foundations, I saw that the position of the wooden planks below had been demolished, and it is estimated that the descendants went around to search for traces after hearing this legend."

The hunchbacked old man said, "There used to be a tradition of rich people building houses. You have signed a demolition agreement with them, and if the gold and silver treasures are removed, the brothers and sisters may refuse."

The old man said, "I remember the county supply and marketing cooperatives that year, and that building was the property of a big businessman in the county in the past. Later, it became a county supply and marketing cooperative, and when the house was demolished, dozens of gold coins were removed from the roof, which caused the demolition workers and onlookers to loot at that time, and later the public security did not recover the gold coins. A few people were arrested at that time......

The more Wang Youxiang listened, the more wrong he became.

I thought to myself: If other villagers also listen to the nonsense of the two old men, they all come here to watch the excitement, and their own workers will be affected by demolishing the two buildings.

He said, "You two elders don't listen to the wind or rain, this kind of thing may not be demolished for ten buildings, and if there is one, it is also the original owner's, so you should not make trouble here."

Huo Buqiang said to Wang Youxiang, "Boss Wang, I suggest that you fence it out here, don't let idle people enter, otherwise it will be very unsafe. You see those students running around here as they pass by, and these old people are walking so closely, if you bump into it even a little bit, they will knock you a lot of money."

Wang Youfu took a large bundle of ropes and straps at this time, and he loudly drove the lively students, the villagers who were wandering, and the two old men who were gossiping just now.

"Don't go into the demolition site, it will not only affect the work of the workers, but also for everyone's safety."

The two old men reluctantly retreated to the periphery.

Huo Buqiang led the workers to roll down the beams and pillars on the house, and at the same time worked together to knock down a wall, and the entire construction site was covered with dust.

Demolition of the beams and columns of the second floor slab, and some of them have to tear down a hole in the wall.

The columns in the front yard were heavier, and Huo Buqiang arranged for the big truck to be full of them.

Fortunately, the wood is already very dry, and several workers can still load it into the car with the same efforts.

Yesterday's delivery car had returned to Wang Village, and he said that Mr. Yin took him to deliver the goods to the construction site of the Confucius Temple Cultural Center early in the morning.

The workers loaded the truck in time, and soon another truck left with a full load.

At lunch, Huo Buqiang said to Wang Youxiang's brothers: "This demolition site still has to be watched by people, whether it is noon or night, as long as there is wood that has been dismantled and not transported, someone must look at it, otherwise it will be a loss to carry a few pieces of wood to the villagers and leave."

There is data for beams, columns, windows and doors, but not for others.

He said, "Either you leave someone here to take a look, and I'll come and replace me as soon as I've eaten."

Wang Youxiang felt that he was a particularly responsible person, and Wang Youfu stayed at the construction site temporarily.

Wang Youxiang took everyone back for lunch.

Huo Buqiang hurried to the demolition site after lunch and asked Wang Youfu to go back for lunch.

When he left, Huo Buqiang found a hoe and began to dig down at the foot of the main wall of the lobby.

He prepares some miscellaneous scraps

, prepare for someone to come and fill the pit dug in time.

It is estimated that after a break of more than an hour at noon, he may not be able to dig more than a meter deep, so he plans to dig up the bluestone slab laid on it first, and then dig down along the foundation of the wall.

He dug up a few bricks, and the top bricks took him a lot of time, and he was sweating profusely.

It took a lot of effort to finally lift a few bluestone bricks.

The soil under the green bricks has also been professionally compacted, and it can only be planed a little bit.

When the hard soil is excavated, the soil underneath is much softer.

He looked at the time and estimated that the Wang brothers should have brought the house demolition workers over.

He filled in some loose soil and piled up miscellaneous slab waste on top of it.

In the messy demolition site, no one will definitely see the flaws.

Soon the Wang Youxiang brothers arrived with the workers.

Started tearing down those columns in the backyard because the trucks were out and didn't come back.

Huo Buqiang asked everyone to move all the dismantled columns and beams to the front yard and pile them up.

Dig out the cylindrical foundation stone and set it aside.

Remove the windows and doors and stack them on the other side.

Huo Buqiang said to Wang Youxiang, "Boss Wang, it seems that the two trucks still can't cope with it, it's best to find another truck."

Wang Youxiang said: "At first, we thought that two trucks were enough to pull, but we didn't expect a few house demolition workers to be so fast."

Wang Youfu said: "The main thing is Xiao Huo's help, he has two people by himself, and he has experience."

He said, "I'll go find a larger truck and try to pull all the materials from this building to Jiangming tomorrow, so that Mr. Yin can transfer the money for a building."

Huo Buqiang told them: "Tomorrow Mr. Yin will still be in Jiangming, and the day after tomorrow he will take his wife and children to the capital."

Wang Youxiang was surprised and asked, "What is Mr. Yin doing in the capital?" Does he still have business in the capital?"

Huo Buqiang said: "Yin is always a famous painter, the last time he came to you to buy old wood was because he was passing by to open a painting exhibition in Shanya, and now his paintings are being sent to the National Museum in Beijing for exhibition, so he wants to go to Beijing. But even if he goes to the capital, the deal negotiated with you will definitely be paid. I've been with Mr. Yin for a few years, and he always talks and counts, but he's at home by himself, so it's better to let him transfer money to you by himself."

Wang Youxiang said: "Mr. Yin is so young, and he is a painter, and he is so good at business, which is really amazing."

Capable people are different.

Wang Youfu called another truck, loaded a truck full of columns and beams, and pulled them to Jiangming overnight.

Two cars also returned, both fully loaded, but there was also quite a bit of lumber piled up in the front yard.

Huo Buqiang proposed: "I'm here tonight, although I say that the people are simple, but I don't dare to guarantee that there are no people with bad intentions."

Wang Youxiang said, "Or I will arrange for two workers to keep vigil here with you?"

Huo Buqiang said: "No need, a few of them are tired all night, I can do it alone, isn't there two trucks here, I will sleep in the cab of the truck, I am very awake, I will wake up if there is a little noise outside."

Wang Youxiang said, "I brought my cousin's dog over and leashed it here, and when someone comes in and barks, you will know."

Huo Buqiang said, "That's the best."

After dinner and a shower, he returned to the demolition site.

Wang Youxiang tied a dog to a pile of wood in the front yard.

Huo Buqiang put the cab seat flat, Wang Youxiang and his cousin's family borrowed a blanket for him, now although the temperature is a little high during the day, it will be a little cold at night.

There was no entertainment in the countryside at night, and the people who stayed in the village were all old people and children, so before nine o'clock, the village was very quiet.

Huo Buqiang took the hoe and came to the noon position, shoveled away the loose soil on it, and continued to dig down.

At the same time, he had to keep an eye on the movements around him, and the dog tied to the side of the pile began to bark a few times when he saw him digging inside.

Huo Buqiang stayed while eating

A chicken leg, he threw it to eat, and the dog soon stopped barking.

He had already prepared a flashlight and a few more pairs of batteries.

It took more than an hour and dug more than a meter deep, and sure enough, the hoe dug up something like a clay pot, and he couldn't help but be excited, and the flashlight shone on a refined clay pot, on which a space was made of bricks.

When I lifted the lid of the jar, I saw that most of the jar inside was full of round gold and silver coins.

The inside of the jar is padded with a layer of charcoal, and the mouth of the jar is very tightly closed.

So the gold and silver coins inside are still very dry, not a little damp.

He couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the ancients in his heart, this old mansion has been more than a hundred years old, and the gold and silver coins stored more than a meter deep in the ground are still the same as you.

He didn't care about anything else, so he took out all the gold and silver coins in the jar and put the jar back in its original state, and at the same time he felt that it was inappropriate.

He thought: In the future, there will be a house built on this land, and when the foundation is dug up and this crockpot is seen, he will understand that this crockpot must have contained treasure, and then he will be suspected of it.

Since you want to get this money, you have to leave no tail.

He simply pried up the crockpot and threw a few bricks inside into the pile.

Break the clay pots, especially into pieces, and scatter them in the bricks and stones.

Then the soil is backfilled, compacted, and the bluestone bricks that have been pried open are covered back, and they try their best to restore their original state, and a pile of broken wall soil is poured on them.

He counted the belongings he had, and there were 168 silver coins, 38 gold coins, which he wrapped up with a newspaper and stuffed into the storage space under the seat of the motorcycle.

After washing the pond at the door, I slept in the cab of the truck until dawn.

The next day, Wang Youxiang helped him bring breakfast over.

Huo Buqiang remembered the gold and silver coins he had obtained, and he discussed with the Wang brothers: "Let a few trucks pull secondary goods, and basically move all the materials that have been dismantled in this building. In the end, I will go with them on a motorcycle, and after counting the total number with Yin, I will ask him to transfer 1 million to your account, and I will come early tomorrow morning to help demolish the second building."

It is equivalent to demolishing an old house in three days, and the speed of demolition is unexpected by the two brothers of the Wang family, who originally thought that it might take a week to demolish one building, and it would be good to demolish two buildings in half a month.

Both of them thought that it was Huo Buqiang's help that they had such a fast speed.

At lunchtime, I basically removed everything that should be dismantled.

The three trucks returned to the demolition site and stuffed the remaining timber and window doors onto the trucks, filling all three trucks.

Huo Buqiang asked Wang Youxiang to copy the account to himself, and he said that I asked Mr. Yin to transfer the money to you today.

Wang Youxiang copied the account number to him and said, "If it's too late today, it's okay to transfer money tomorrow morning."

Huo Buqiang said, "Don't worry, I will deal with this matter, the money has been transferred, and I will ask Mr. Yin to call you."

Wang Youxiang and the two brothers were very happy.

I feel that dealing with Yin Yuan is very down-to-earth.

Huo Buqiang got on his motorcycle and went back to the hotel where he lived in Haikou first, and took out the lockbox that was stored in the safe at the front desk.

The girl at the front desk also asked him, "Boss, you opened a room, and it seems that you didn't stay last night?"

Huo Buqiang smiled and said, "Beauty, you care about me so much? You went to my room last night?"

Another waiter giggled and said, "Ah Hua really went to your room last night, but unfortunately you weren't there."

The waitress slapped her colleague and said, "You're going, aren't you?" Working here, can't you see that the guests are not staying?"

Huo Buqiang said, "I have something to do when I go back to Jiangming tonight, and I won't live here tonight. But I've paid for the room, so you don't have to arrange for someone to stay there, right? But if you two go inside to rest, I'm not against it."

He thought both girls were funny.

But there is more important business to deal with today.

He rode back to Jiangming, and on the way he was still thinking: he didn't know how much these silver and gold coins could be worth.

He remembered that a few years ago, the silver dollar had risen from a dozen yuan a piece to fifty or sixty yuan a piece, and it was estimated that it had risen to a hundred pieces now, a total of one hundred and eighty silver dollars, which should be worth eighteen thousand.

As for 44 gold coins, it would definitely be worth more than 180 silver dollars, and even if it was worth the same as 180 silver dollars, then he would have a fortune of more than 30,000 this time.

He thought excitedly: I have more than 30,000 yuan, plus the more than 20,000 yuan that Mr. Yin earned here, and now I have a lot of wealth.

At the same time, he thought: these gold and silver coins must not be very safe in the dormitory of the paint factory, and there is another worker living in the dormitory.

It is not safe to put it in a drawer or a suitcase, and the kid in the same dormitory often goes to his bed to find his cigarettes.

Although he is talking to Yang Xiaorong now, he feels that before he becomes his wife, he must not give her valuables for safekeeping.

In the past, he felt that Huang Qiuyue was unreliable, and now Yang Xiaorong has no bottom.

Before a woman becomes a wife, she must be unreliable, and even if she becomes a wife, it is impossible for all the money to be handed over to her wife.

When he was collecting waste with his second uncle, he put the money he earned in his backpack where he put his clothes, and the second aunt secretly rummaged through his bag and refused to admit it when he took the money.

After thinking about it, he thought that the safest way was to let Yin Yuan help him, and tell him about it without reservation.
