Chapter 18 Planning
Fatty and I returned to a small bungalow we rented near Chongwenmen. We drank too much wine and slept until noon the next day.
After waking up, I lay on the bed and stared at the low and low ceiling. I thought a lot. The tomb robbery industry is actually not unfamiliar to me. I am confident that I can find some large tombs. Money is not the most important thing to me. It can be said that I don’t care whether I have money or not, but life is always full of contradictions. Now I need money too much.
My parents are all raised by the state, and I have no family burden. My whole family is not hungry after eating, but what should I do if my brothers who died on the battlefield do? Who will take care of their parents? The cost of medical treatment and medicine, and the tuition for their younger brothers and sisters to go to school, and the pension is not enough to drink the northwest wind with that little pension.
On the battlefield, it seems that everyone except me has a reason not to die, but the last survivor is me. My life was exchanged for many comrades with their lives. What should I do for them now?
At this time, the fat man woke up, rubbed his eyes, and saw that I was staring at the roof in a daze, he said to me: "Old Hu, what are you thinking? Actually, I know if you don't say it. Did you touch your heart yesterday? I also felt itchy. What are the things that both of us are? I'll wait for you to say something."
I took out the amulet given by the Big Gold Teeth: "Fatty, don't treat that grandson as a good person. He is also a businessman and will get up early without any profit. This digging claw was worn by Cao Cao's subordinates in the Three Kingdoms. Can he give such a valuable thing to us casually? He is interested in our abilities and wants to get some benefits from it."
The fat man was anxious: "****, I'm not like a good bird anymore. I'll go to Panjiayuan later and break down the big gold tooth and throw it into the pit."
Having said that, when we two decided to do it, we thought we should use each other and not have a breakup with him for the time being. My personality disadvantage is that I am too impulsive and don’t consider the consequences when doing things. I think the path of tomb robbing is feasible. Chairman Mao said that everything in the world has its own two sides. Good things can turn into bad things, and bad things can turn into good things. This is dialectics.
There are countless treasures in the tombs of emperors and generals, but can we say that these good things belong to the tomb owners? They are all plundered and exploited from the people, taken from the people, and applied to the people. How can they always accompany the dead bones to sleep underground? If you want to do it, you can make it bigger. Those folk tombs are boring. Most of them have no valuable things, and taking the things of the people to harm their destiny.
I once heard my grandfather talk about the rules of the lieutenant who touched the gold, which was very different from the tomb robbers. Tomb robbers dig randomly and took things randomly, and did things very well. No matter what loyal ministers and generals you are, the officials are the people, and there is no rule at all. Even if there is one, it was all the farmers who figured it out by themselves. It was not that way at all.
When the magistrates work, whenever they dig a large tomb, they will light a candle in the underground palace of the tomb chamber and place it in the southeast corner. Then they open the coffin to touch the gold. The most valuable things of the deceased are often carried on their bodies. Some tomb owners above the kings and princes have pearls in their mouths, covered with gold and jade, and have heart-protecting jade in their chests. They hold jade Ruyi in their hands, and even gems are stuffed in their ***. At this time, they can't damage the remains of the deceased. They can touch them from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet. In the end, one or two treasures will be left for the deceased. In the meantime, if the candle in the southeast corner is extinguished, they must put the property they have received as it is, kowtowed three times respectfully, and retreat according to the same path.
Because some tombs are said to have ghosts, as for why these ghosts do not enter the cycle of reincarnation, they have been staying in the tomb for thousands of years, it is hard to say. It is very likely that they are reluctant to give up their wealth and glory during their lifetime, and after their death, they still stare at their treasures every day. If they encounter such a master who sacrifices their lives and refuses to give up their wealth, don’t force their abilities.
Finally, Fatty and I decided to be the decisive lieutenant. If we accept condemnation or not, let us eat the dog. If we eat half of it, we should look at it from another perspective. It is the 1980s. Don’t we all advocate dedication? Now it’s the turn of princes and nobles who exploit the working people to contribute. However, these dead ghosts have a low awareness, don’t expect them to climb out and contribute. We will take care of this kind of thing, beat the autumn wind of these feudal ruling classes, clean up the golden bowl, and divide the land and land.
The strategic direction has been determined, and the specific tactical goals and how to implement them must be carefully discussed.
In Henan, Hunan and Shaanxi, where tomb robbery is the most prevalent, it is not easy to find large tombs. Moreover, it is inconvenient to do things in places with many people. You have to cover up the behavior of planting crops and building houses. If you want to do it, go to the deep mountains and forests, and places with few people.
If we talk about the tombs I have seen in the deep mountains and old forests, the first one is definitely the one in Niuxin Mountain. When I went to the mountain and went to the countryside, I was too young and didn't know anything. Judging from my current experience, the tomb should have been before the Northern Song Dynasty. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it was mostly popular with mountains as the tombs. This trend continued until the early Song Dynasty. After the Southern Song Dynasty, the national strength gradually weakened, and no royal tomb dared to do such a huge project.
The fat man asked me, didn’t you say that Niu Xinshan is haunted? Can you find someone who is not haunted? It’s nothing to deal with the Gou Kuma Savage, but you don’t know how to start when you meet a ghost.
I said first, there are no ghosts in this world. What I told you last time might be the hallucination I had. Second, this is our first action, and we don’t have to start a mountain. Do you still remember that many families in Yanzi and their village have antiques? Let’s collect a few and sell them, so we will save the effort and effort.
On that day, we were preparing separately. The fat man went to deal with the remaining tapes. I went to the fresh market to buy some essential tools, flashlights, gloves, masks, candles, ropes, and kettles. What made me most overjoyed was that I bought two German engineer shovels. I held the engineer shovel in my hand, and it felt like I had met an old friend.
This kind of engineer shovel was equipped with a mountain assault division during World War II. It was seized by the Soviet Union. During the Sino-Soviet friendship period, part of it flowed into China. German engineer shovels were very light and could be folded and hung on the waist. The steel mouth was excellent. Not to mention digging soil and rocks, even when it was dangerous, they could be used as weapons when swung, and they could be cut off half of the enemy's head in one go.
The only regret is that I didn’t buy gas masks. When the country was engaged in the third defense nationwide, many 60 gas masks were also distributed by the public. I occasionally saw them in the old market. I didn’t buy them today, so I can only talk about them later. In addition, there are some things that can be prepared by waiting for Ganggangyingzi.
It cost more than 1,500 in total, mainly because the two shovels were too expensive, 601, and the price was so expensive that it couldn't be paid. In the end, I only had six dollars left on me. This was awful, I didn't have the money to buy a train ticket!
