Chapter 169: Wilderness Mark
Scar Jin and several brothers swaggered into "Liu Guohua"'s home.
It was during dinner that "Liu Guohua" and his family were having dinner in the yard. There was a square table in the yard with a plate of steamed buns, two dishes and one soup.
When the male owner saw a big man with scars on his face coming in with a few people with fierce faces, the male owner frowned.
"Hey, I'm in a good mood, do you still remember me? We did business ten years ago. I came to your village to change grain. You also gave me a lot of good goods."
Scar Gold is straightforward, and he has always been straightforward and never turns.
"Liu Guohua" stood up silently and waved his hand to let his inner and child enter the house.
After seeing his wife, children and brothers return to the house, "Liu Guohua" stared at Scar Jin's eyes and said coldly: "What do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do? Hehe, the batch of raw goods you exchanged for us revealed your background. We know what you are doing. Don't pretend, don't be nervous. Brothers have no other intentions, just want to find a master to make a pot and dig some good goods!"
Scar Jin looked careless and said as he reached out to grab the steamed buns on the table. When his hand was about to touch the steamed buns, his wrist was suddenly trapped by "Liu Guohua".
The speed was so fast that Scar Jin didn't even see how he took action. He was not prepared for this moment and was caught by someone. Scar Jin felt numb half of his body and knew that he had met a master.
"You have recognized the wrong person. I am just a bricklayer. The things I used to exchange food for you were dug out in the field by accident. They have been given to you all. You go!"
"Liu Guohua" grabbed Scar Jin's pulse door with one hand, put the other hand behind him, and half-pushed and half-sending him to the door.
The brothers under him looked at the scene and looked at each other - they had never seen Scar Jin obey so "behavedly".
Scar Jin was complaining in his heart. He couldn't speak. This "Liu Guohua" was obviously a hidden trainer. His wrist seemed to be pinched by a vise. He tried it a few times but couldn't break free. "Liu Guohua"'s other hand was placed on his vest's vein. Scar Jin knew that as long as the other party came up with his heart vein, he would be disabled even if he didn't die.
Scar Jin winked at the eyes and winked with his brothers, but everyone was wrong, thinking that Scar Jin asked them to retreat, and they all retreated outside the door together.
"Liu Guohua" said softly in Scar Jin's ear: "I don't want to cause trouble, so you better not mess with me, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" With a light force on his hand, Scar Jin was pushed out of the door by him.
With a creaking sound, the gate of the courtyard closed behind him.
Scar King Kong wanted to open his mouth and curse, but Dawu stabbed him in the waist and signaled that several villagers were looking at this place in the distance. Scar Jin thought of Uncle Li not to force himself, so he had to swallow the swear words back into his stomach and angrily took people to work with Uncle Li.
After listening to Scar Jin's report, Uncle Li nodded and began to pace again.
Scar Jin felt unhappy after suffering a secret loss. He couldn't hold on to his brothers' faces and cursed, "Isn't the special code just a tomb robber? How can he pretend to be a great master? So what if you have high kung fu? We have many brothers!"
The master knew whether it was there any problems. Scar Jin already knew that he was definitely not an opponent in his single fight, so he started to have the idea of a group fight.
"Discuss him on not listening, and not eating toast, just let's be tough and sneak into his house tonight... His family is only one and a half-boy, a big-bellied woman, and a two-fool-that woman is quite pretty. Hehe, she looks so sensual..."
Scar Jin said in a squirming way through his chin, and the brothers next to him laughed maliciously.
They are always drawing antiques and doing business. These energetic single men often cannot vent their desires. They either eat and drink or go to the hair salon. Gold is especially veterans in this field, so the brothers are also in the same stinking.
Uncle Li also knew that his subordinates often acted nonsense, but he usually turned a blind eye to these people, as long as they spent their own money and did not cause trouble for him.
But this time it is different. The task this time is very important. The leader repeatedly told Li Tianming to be careful and not to let these young boys do anything wrong.
Looking at a few young people who were ready to move, Li Tianming said slowly: "This place is not as good as Mangshan, you are more regular. As the saying goes, strong dragons do not suppress local snakes. This place has a strong custom, and many villagers are martial arts practitioners. If we really cause trouble, we may not be able to gain a advantage."
Uncle Li turned to Jinzi and said, "Take them to a room in a township hotel and stay there. Don't go out to cause trouble. I'll step on the plate."
Everyone looked at each other, Uncle Li stepped on the plate himself? This was something that had never happened before. Seeing Uncle Li's serious expression, everyone dared not play anymore.
For several days, Uncle Li went out early and came back late. Jinzi and several others were fine in the hotel and could only play cards and enjoy themselves.
On this day, Uncle Li came back excitedly and summoned everyone to prepare for action!
...
The next day, Jin Zi took Dawu and Niu Da, and the three of them carried Luoyang shovels and passed by the door of "Liu Guohua".
Following the route given by Uncle Li, the three of them walked through the village and followed a path of shabby walking around to the foot of the back mountain.
It just rained these days, and the road was muddy. Soon everyone's feet and legs were covered with mud.
There is only one path to the mountain. The terrain is very rugged. One side of the path is steep rocks and an almost vertical cliff on the other side. After the rain is washed away, the road surface is muddy and slippery.
When I climbed to the top of the mountain, I saw Uncle Li and Yinzi and others have arrived, waiting for them. The other side of the hillside is relatively smooth, and the sloped hillside is densely covered with earthblocks - it turned out to be a cemetery.
Scar Jin whispered the mud on his feet while complaining, "Uncle Li, why are we doing so hard to come to this broken place? You see, this broken cemetery doesn't look like a rich family, and you probably can't dig out anything. Making some money is not enough for us to travel..."
Uncle Li nodded gently, "You have a good vision. You haven't been in vain with me for so many years. Although there are many earthen graves in this place, there is really nothing to dig. Although there are many people buried here, it is not even a level of a tomb, and it can only be regarded as a cemetery."
Funerals in ancient China were strictly constructed according to the level. Tombs were mainly divided into several levels, and the tombs of each level were also given different names.
The first type is tombs, which can only be built at the level of an emperor. For example, the thirteen tombs of the Ming Dynasty were buried by the thirteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and the Eastern tombs of the Qing Dynasty were buried by Cixi, who ruled the country from behind the curtain. The imperial tombs were usually built on the mountain, with a magnificent momentum and a large area. The imperial tombs were generally equipped with gardens. Naturally, the gold, silver and treasures were buried with the most.
The second type is a tomb. The tomb is the tomb of the king, general and minister. "Tomb" is literally the meaning of a high tomb. As the name suggests, there are a large amount of seals on the tomb, like a pile of hills. The underground palace below is also relatively large in scale and funeral objects are also relatively rich.
The third type is tomb. The level of the tomb is lower than that of the tomb, but it is not something that ordinary people can build. For example, some wealthy families or officials can build it. The "tomb" is generally flat and not higher than the ground. Tombs also have levels, such as rich and noble tombs, whose burial objects and specifications are also very amazing. For some relatively ordinary families, the tombs are just a form.
The last one, and the lowest level, is the grave. Usually, the places where ordinary people are buried after their deaths are called graves.
There are no specifications or requirements for graves. Basically, it is enough to dig a pit to put the coffin into the soil. After the coffin is buried, a bunch of soil is piled on it to mark it. This is the burial method of ordinary people.
Uncle Li continued: "The cemetery in front of us is the burial place of the ancestors of Lijia Village for generations. Although the tombs are large and numerous, and the time lasts for hundreds of years, there are basically no place worth digging."
Jinzi wondered, "Since that's the case, why are we here?"
Uncle Li held his hands behind his back, raised his head and chest out of his head and looked at the cemetery like a military parade.
"Have you noticed that there is a strange place here?"
Jinzi looked up blankly, "From the terrain, although this place is surrounded by mountains, it is not watery, and it is not a Feng Shui treasure land. Judging from the soil, there is a lot of sand and gravel here, and the soil layer is more prone to seeping water. It is estimated that the coffin will rot after a few years of burying it."
Anyway, this is not a good place.
Uncle Li nodded, stepped on the ground and asked, "Look at the place under my feet carefully, is there anything unusual?"
Several people looked at each other and didn't know what Uncle Li was selling.
Uncle Li was standing in a stone pit, covered with gravels, and I don’t know who dug it.
This stone pit is on a relatively steep hillside, facing the direction they are coming. People who are going up the mountain can see it at a glance.
Scar Jin said: "Looking at the faults, it should have been dug in the past few days. I guess someone wanted to dig a grave pit here, but after half of it dug, he found that the soil layer was not good, so he gave up."
Uncle Li said to everyone, "Stand far away and take a closer look."
Everyone was puzzled. Why did Uncle Li have time to teach everyone the basic knowledge of tomb robbing today?
Although they all showed suspicion, everyone still walked away from each other, walked a few steps and looked back, and Uncle Li signaled to let them go further.
After walking dozens of meters in a row, I looked back at the stone pit where Uncle Li stood, which was a few meters square, surrounded by grass and shrubs. There was nothing else except a few dwarf pine trees. The yellow-white soil and stone layers inside looked very eye-catching against the surrounding grass and trees.
Uncle Li waved to everyone and let everyone go back to him, but Jinzi still shook his head and didn't understand.
Yinzi, who had been silent, spoke: "The shape of this pit is a bit special, and it looks a bit like the claw marks of a wild beast."
Uncle Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right, the pit you are looking at is rugged and the geology is rough. It is covered with gravel and gravel, which neither retains water nor protects soil. It is not only not suitable for funerals, but also does not even suitable for farming. Even the most ordinary farmers can see this. Why do anyone have to dig a pit here?
This pit was obviously made on purpose by someone.
This is a sign that only colleagues who rob tombs can understand.
