Chapter 138 Jinjiang Debut

"They took all the good things in the village. They took the fertile fields of whoever they met, and they snatched the business opportunities of whoever they met. They even snatched the daughters-in-law of others. Xiaoyue, the most beautiful girl in the village, was already engaged, but Du Dasheng broke up the engagement. He took the girl home and made her his son's daughter-in-law."

"The villagers make a living by farming, so the sale of grain during the autumn harvest is particularly important. In the past, each family would go to the grain dealer to negotiate the price. Since the Du family grew stronger, Du Dasheng has completely monopolized this route. He does not allow outside vendors to enter the village, and only allows grain dealers who have a good relationship with him to enter the village. If the villagers want to sell grain, they can only let Du Dasheng do it on their behalf. No matter how much the grain is sold, Du Dasheng will take a commission. Over time, Du Dasheng made a lot of money, and the Du family became the richest in the area."

"In the past, the village was closed and information was backward. People didn't know how to call the police when they encountered any problems, so Du Dasheng continued to do whatever he wanted and no one dared to stop him."

Weng Xuhua looked up at the sky and said, "Perhaps Du Dasheng had done so many evil things that even God couldn't stand it. When Du Dasheng was 45 years old, he got a terminal illness. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find the cause. With the medical level at the time, he couldn't be saved. Even though he spent a lot of money seeking medical treatment everywhere, it was of no avail."

"In the end, Du Dasheng accepted his fate. He no longer went out to seek medical treatment, but lay quietly at home waiting to die. Just before he died, he made a strange last wish -"

At this point, Weng Xuhua deliberately kept the question a secret, so Bai Mian pressed on, "What last wish?"

Weng Xuhua said mysteriously: "He first asked his family to dig a large tomb for him, just like the tombs of ancient kings and nobles. Then he asked his family to buy him extremely valuable burial objects. Those burial objects almost cost most of the Du family's money."

"His family did as they were told. After he died, they quietly carried his coffin away. No one was allowed to follow them. They buried Du Dasheng in a tomb. No one knew where the tomb was. There was no grave mound on the grave. Only his family knew where the grave was."

"After Du Dasheng died, many people wanted to find his tomb and dig out the burial objects inside, but no one found it. Later, as the times changed, fewer and fewer people lived in the village. People all went to the city, and the village almost became an empty village. Du Dasheng's story became a complete legend."

After Weng Xuhua finished his story, Bai Mian thought about it carefully: "So, the treasure of Wulong Mountain is Du Dasheng's tomb. Whoever digs up his tomb will make a fortune."

Lame nodded, and it was obvious that he could no longer contain his excitement. Bai Mian shook his head and said, "This story doesn't make sense. In rural areas, in order to help future generations develop, the elderly usually leave their property to their children. What Du Dasheng did is equivalent to cutting off the family's future. How could his children agree to this?"

Weng Xuhua: "So it's just a legend, just a casual talk among people after dinner, and only this silly boy believed it."

He looked at Lame Brother, Gao Jin also looked at Lame Brother, the old couple seemed to think he was stupid, Lame Brother said unconvinced: "It's not a legend, it's true!"

Bai Mian smiled: "So you took a week off to go rob tombs! Brother, have you watched too much "Grave Robbers' Chronicles"? Do you really think you are an expert in tomb robbing? Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the location of this tomb. If this tomb really exists, in order to find the location of the tomb, you have to dig the whole mountain. Not to mention a few of you, even if you bring an entire excavator, you can't do it."

Finally, Lame Brother couldn't help it and whispered the truth: "Don't bother... This tomb really exists, and it has appeared in the world!"

"What?"

Bai Mian and Weng Xuhua were both stunned, waiting for Lame Brother to continue.

Lame Brother gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, but you must not tell anyone else. This is a piece of gossip my classmate told me. He got this news from the underworld - Du Dasheng's tomb has been discovered. It's on Wulong Mountain. Anyone who wants to go can go."

Bai Mian teased, "How did it appear? Could it be that this tomb is alive? It knew you were looking for it, so it jumped out like a kangaroo!"

Lame Brother frowned and said, "Listen to me, this happened half a month ago. At that time, it rained heavily on Wulong Mountain for several days in a row, and the soil on the mountain turned into mud. After the rain stopped, a man happened to go to the mountain to visit a grave. As he was walking, he passed by a muddy field. He stepped on it and sank into it. Then he fell into a big pit."

"After observing for a while, he found that there was a square tomb with a coffin in the middle. He was terrified and quickly climbed out using his hands and feet. Later, the news spread like wildfire and reached my classmate. He believed that this big pit was the tomb of Du Dasheng. Later, his descendants moved away and the cemetery was left unattended. The tomb was soaked by heavy rain and then stepped on by someone, so it completely collapsed. Now is a good time to explore the tomb!"

"And guess where Du Dasheng's tomb is? It's in his own vegetable garden. No wonder the villagers couldn't find it! Hey, you know what, this Du Dasheng is really thoughtful. The villagers searched for it and found it was right under their noses. He must have fooled the whole village!"

Bai Mian had not come to the human world half a month ago, but she remembered that it was raining on the day she first arrived at Ci Xin Tang, so what Que Ge said was right, it was indeed the rainy season at that time.

Weng Xuhua reminded: "The tomb found in the Du family's field, even if there is something inside, it belongs to the Du family. You are seizing the Du family's property. Aren't you afraid that the Du family will come looking for you?"

Lame Brother said with disdain: "Du Family? There is no Du Family now. After the death of Du Da, all his descendants died young. I guess they had a short-lived gene. They all looked as strong as calves, but they all died early. After the death of the young and strong, the power of the family suddenly weakened. The remaining old people and children were afraid of revenge from their fellow villagers, so they moved away collectively, leaving behind their fields and ancestral houses. Even if there are one or two descendants of the Du family today, they don't pose any threat."

Bai Mian poured cold water on him: "Why would your classmate tell you about such a good thing? He could have kept the treasure for himself. Besides, this happened half a month ago. Even if there is a treasure, it has probably been taken away by someone else."

Lame Brother explained: "My classmate did want to explore the tomb alone at first. He walked around Wulong Mountain and saw the entrance to the tomb. Then he entered the cave alone and searched carefully inside. In the end, he found nothing. That's when he wanted to call us to search together. There is strength in numbers!"

Bai Mian crossed his arms and said, "Since there is nothing here, it means that the things in the tomb have been taken away, or this legend was false from the beginning. Why are you still so obsessed with it?"

Lame Brother said stubbornly: "No, Du Dasheng is not a fool, he is a smart man. When he built the tomb, he must have considered the possibility of tomb robbery, so he would not put the burial objects in the tomb openly, but put them in a place where they are not easily discovered."

"I think there must be other mechanisms or secret rooms in this tomb, but my classmates just haven't discovered them. If I go to the scene and dig deep, I will definitely find them! Give it a try, and a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle!"

Bai Mian sighed: "You have the mentality of a gambler. Even if you really win the bet and you dig something out of the tomb, would you dare to take it? This is tomb robbery, a crime, and you will go to jail!"

Gao Jin also criticized: "You have a good life but you insist on going to jail and making your parents worry about you. You are really asking for trouble!"

Lame Brother lowered his eyes and whispered unconsciously: "So what if I go to jail? I am destined to go to jail anyway..."

"What did you say?"

Bai Mian showed a surprised look and wanted him to repeat it again, but Lame Brother refused to speak again.

Bai Mian looked at Lame Brother quietly. It seemed that he also had many secrets...
