Chapter 505: Worse than Pigs and Dogs
"Village chief, didn't you lock the door last night? Why is the lock on the door missing?" Zhao Dashan frowned and reached out to touch the ring on the door.
Is it an illusion?
The ring seems to be a little deformed and bulging.
"Bullshit!" Village Chief Zhao, who was lagging behind, cursed in a low voice. "How could I forget to lock the door? I wouldn't forget to lock the door even if I forgot to eat."
When he got closer and saw that there was no lock, he frowned and asked, "Did I not lock it last night?"
But he clearly remembered that he locked it.
Village Chief Zhao subconsciously glanced around, found nothing unusual, and shook his head, "Maybe I really forgot to lock the door.
Forget it, let’s not pursue this matter anymore. It’s getting late now, let’s go in.”
After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked in first.
Only then did Lin Mo see clearly that there were eight people in their group, led by Village Chief Zhao and Zhao Dashan.
Lin Mo was too lazy to move, so he hid in the space with his arms folded over his chest, watching them struggle.
At this time, Village Chief Zhao brought Zhao Dashan and others to burn incense and worship the ancestors of the Zhao family.
After worshipping, he first inserted the incense into the incense burner.
After Zhao Dashan and the others had lit the incense sticks one after another, Village Chief Zhao stared at Zhao Dashan sternly:
"Zhao Dashan, I'm warning you. If you try to take advantage of me again and cause trouble for me, ruining our good fortune, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
Thinking about how the Xu family almost broke into the ancestral hall during the day, Village Chief Zhao's face turned ugly.
Those people in the Xu family are not easy to deal with. If they enter the ancestral hall, the secret room might be exposed.
Can the things in the secret room be seen by others?
Zhao Dashan was depressed, "How could I have known that I would be so unlucky?
As soon as I got home, I found a bag of corn cobs at the door. I thought it would be a bad idea not to take advantage of the bargain.
So I just dragged it home, but who knew it would end up like this.”
Zhao Dashan was also depressed. He did nothing wrong but got beaten for nothing and was branded as a thief.
"Alright, don't do such stupid things again." Village Chief Zhao cursed in a low voice:
"Putting it at your doorstep is clearly an attempt to rip you off. Otherwise, why not put it at someone else's house? You don't even know how to use your brain. You deserve to be ripped off."
"I understand." Zhao Dashan's face was full of smiles, and he looked flattering:
"Village chief, let's stop talking nonsense and go in and see how much we harvested last night.
It hasn’t been open for half a year, and I can’t wait.”
As he spoke, he couldn't help rubbing his hands together.
Village Chief Zhao glanced at him with disdain.
Letting Zhao Dashan join in was the stupidest decision he had ever made.
This guy is lazy and slacking at work, but he rushes to the front when it comes to dividing the money.
Forget it, worrying about these things will only make you feel unhappy.
Village Chief Zhao was too lazy to talk any more, so he turned around and walked towards the back of the ancestral hall, then reached out and pushed hard.
The wall was pushed back, revealing a dark staircase leading down to the underground.
Lin Mo, who was hiding in the space, "..."
There really is a secret room.
Watching them walk in one after another, Lin Mo naturally followed.
The stairs were not long and we soon reached the secret room.
The secret room is not big, about the same size as an ordinary room.
But what surprised Lin Mo was that the room was full of various tools.
It's not a tool for farming, nor is it a tool for carpentry, but... a tool for grave digging and tomb robbing.
Luoyang Shovel, Whirlwind Shovel, Flying Tiger Claw, Centipede Mountain Ladder...
Lin Mo moved his eyes away from the tools and looked at Village Chief Zhao and others beside him.
No wonder I'm so nervous.
No wonder he didn’t let me get close. It turned out he was afraid that I would discover the secret here.
You can tell what these things are used for at a glance.
I didn't expect that they were actually a group of tomb robbers.
Zhao Dashan picked up a package covered in mud from the corner and placed it directly on the table, then opened it to reveal what was inside.
A pair of silver bracelets, a pair of gold earrings, a few hairpins, a few ingots of silver, and some worthless things.
When Zhao Dashan saw this, he was completely disappointed.
"We worked so hard all night, but this is all we got. After buying everything, no one gets more than five taels of silver."
Village Chief Zhao sneered, "Five taels is too little?
How many families in this area have such rich burial objects?"
"That's right, Zhao Dashan, you don't know, but the thing we dug up last month was buried with a few copper coins, so we are considered rich this time." said the accomplice next to him.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the people around him echoed:
"In the end, everyone was so angry that the coffin was not closed and the grave was not backfilled."
"I heard that stray dogs in the back destroyed the body. Humph, it's what he deserves. It's his family's fault for being so stingy that they didn't even put a little extra money for the burial. We dug all this time for nothing."
…
Once the conversation started, everyone couldn't help but talk about the interesting things they found while digging the graves.
But what they thought was interesting made Lin Mo feel a chill when she heard it.
Are they still human?
No, they are not human beings at all. They are worse than pigs and dogs.
After the grave was dug up, they found no valuable burial objects inside. They did not fill the grave with soil and left the body exposed in the wilderness. Eventually, it was eaten and dismembered by wild dogs, leaving Luo Ge's body incomplete.
That's nothing.
The most terrifying thing is that if they come across a fresh female corpse, they actually...
Lin Mo stared at them with gloomy eyes, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
These people are worse than pigs and dogs, they all deserve to die!
Village Chief Zhao asked them to stop, his face stern. "The things are all here. Anzi and I will go buy them tomorrow and we'll split the money then."
Everyone had no objection, after all, he was the one who always handled these matters.
Seeing that they had no objection, Village Chief Zhao was satisfied and said, "There is another job tomorrow night. It's for a wealthy family. I think they can produce something valuable.
It’s just a bit far, and it might take half a day to walk there. Who wants to go there?”
"I."
"I!"
…
Everyone raised their hands.
While the weather is not cold now, take on as many jobs as possible. When you have money, you won’t have to go hungry in the winter.
Village Chief Zhao nodded, "Then get ready and set off at noon tomorrow.
Remember the rules, don't tell your family where you go. If anyone dares to tell you anything, don't blame me for being polite. Do you understand?"
At the end of his speech, he became sinister and vicious.
Tomb robbing is like cutting off someone's descendants. If people know that they are doing this, they will have no good life.
Zhao Dashan smiled and nodded disapprovingly:
"Village chief, please don't say such harsh words every time. We all know the rules. We don't want to lose our livelihood. Without this livelihood, we are afraid that we will all starve to death."
With this business, their lives would be so comfortable. They would have to be very stupid to ruin their own business.
The others nodded in agreement.
Village Chief Zhao didn't smile at him, but instead had a serious look on his face:
"Remember all of this, and stop smiling like a playboy.
There are more people from Ruyixing in the village, and there are also Xu family members outside the village. If you are discovered, you can think about the consequences yourself."
At this point, everyone put away their playful smiles.
If they were discovered, the family whose graves were robbed would rush over and beat them to death.
Seeing that they all became serious, Village Chief Zhao's expression finally relaxed.
This matter must be kept secret. Once discovered, they will be killed. Therefore, everything must be done with caution and no carelessness is allowed.
"Okay, now go back and have a good sleep, and meet up at the same place tomorrow."
…
Lin Mo came out of the Zhao family's ancestral hall only after these people from the Zhao family left.
Looking at the eerie and terrifying Zhao Family Ancestral Hall behind him, Lin Mo's eyes showed a hint of irony. With such an unfilial descendant like Zhao Dashan, the ancestors of the Zhao Family must have been running their legs off in the underground to prevent their Zhao Family from becoming extinct.
She really wanted to burn down the Zhao family ancestral hall, which was full of sin, but she had to give up for fear of alarming others.
Forget it, she would just be a good person and help them accumulate good karma, so she wouldn't burn it for now.
Lin Mo shook his head and turned to leave.
The next morning.
Jia Lianhua got up early in the morning and went straight to the kitchen as usual to prepare breakfast for the family.
But just as he picked up the pot, he was stopped by Liu who followed in.
"Oh, Lotus, you have to take good care of your hands, after all, you have to make money with them.
It's rare for you to come back, how can I let you do such heavy work?
Put it down, you don't have to do it, I'll let your sister Juhua do it later."
Jia Lianhua frowned, "Dad, get up and have breakfast. I also want to eat before going to work. I..."
"It's okay. I'll make breakfast for your father. You can go to the village entrance and buy some buns." Liu smiled more cordially, then took out four coins.
"Go, go buy two meat buns. You have to go to work, how can you not eat enough?"
Jia Lianhua shook her head and handed the money back, "No thanks."
"Why?" Liu's eyes flashed with displeasure, but her smile became more gentle.
"Lotus, Mom is doing this for your own good. Go out and eat some buns, dear."
"But two buns aren't enough to fill me up," Jia Lianhua said worriedly, "I'm better off drinking whole grain porridge at home. It's filling enough for me."
Don't worry, stepmother, I will be able to finish it soon."
Liu's face froze. Damn it, is this the reincarnation of a starving ghost?
Two buns are not enough to fill you up, you need to eat three!
She suppressed her anger, took out two more coins from her pocket, and stuffed them all into Jia Lianhua's hand, adding the four coins she had before to make a total of six coins.
"Go ahead, three meat buns, you must eat your fill."
When saying this, Liu gritted her teeth.
"Thank you, stepmother, you are so kind!" Jia Lianhua immediately took the money and walked out happily.
"Lotus, come back for dinner tonight and I'll stew meat for you." Liu shouted at Jia Lianhua.
After Jia Lianhua walked away, he began to jump in pain.
"Damn it, six coins! This bitch actually spent six coins on three meat buns."
"Oh, so angry!"
