Chapter 138 Jinjiang First Launch

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

"The villagers make their living from farming, so the sale of grain during the autumn harvest is particularly important. In the past, each family would go to the grain vendors to negotiate prices. After the Du family grew strong, Du Dasheng completely monopolized this business. He did not allow outside vendors to enter the village, and only allowed grain vendors who had a good relationship with him to enter the village. If the villagers wanted to sell grain, they could only let Du Dasheng sell it on their behalf. No matter how much they sold, Du Dasheng would take a cut. Over time, Du Dasheng made a lot of money, and the Du family became the richest in the area."

"Before, the village was closed and information was lagging behind. 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 could not bear to see him suffer. When Du Dasheng was 45 years old, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. No matter how hard they tried, they could not find the cause. With the medical level at the time, he could not be saved. Although 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 his death, he made a strange will -"

At this point, Weng Xuhua deliberately left the question unanswered, so Bai Mian pressed on, "What will?"

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 consumed 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 the team. They buried Du Dasheng in a tomb. No one knew where the tomb was. There was no grave marker on the grave. Only his family knew where the tomb 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 moved to the city, and the village almost became an empty village. Du Dasheng's story became a complete legend."

After Weng Xuhua finished speaking, Bai Mian thought about the story carefully: "So, the treasure of Wulong Mountain is Du Dasheng's tomb. Whoever digs up his tomb will become rich?"

Lame nodded, and it was obvious that he could no longer suppress 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 this is 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 laughed, "So you took a week off to go robbing graves! Brother, have you watched too much of Grave Robbers' Chronicles? Do you really think you're an expert at robbing graves? Let's not talk about anything else, let's first talk about the location of this tomb. If this tomb really exists, you have to dig the entire mountain to find the location of the tomb. Not to mention just a few of you, even an excavator can't do it."

Finally, Lame Brother couldn't help himself 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 that my classmate told me. He got the news from the underworld - Du Dasheng's tomb has been discovered. It's on Wulong Mountain. Anyone who wants to go can go there."

Bai Mian teased, "How did it come out? 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. 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 make 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 so scared that he quickly climbed out with 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 no one maintained the cemetery. The tomb was damaged by heavy rain. After being stepped on by people, the tomb collapsed completely. 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 after you?"

Lame Brother said with disdain: "The Du family? What kind of Du family is there 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 oxen, but they all died early. After the young and strong died, the power of the family suddenly weakened. The remaining old people and children were afraid of retaliation 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 now, 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 really was any treasure, it would have probably been taken away by someone else."

Lame Brother explained, "My classmate wanted to explore the tomb alone at first. He walked around Wulong Mountain and saw the entrance to the tomb. Then he went in alone and searched carefully inside. In the end, he found nothing. So he wanted to call us to search together. There is strength in numbers!"

Bai Mian folded his arms: "Since there is nothing, it means that the things in the tomb have been taken away, or this legend was false from the beginning. Why are you still 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 easy to be found."

"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 site and dig deep, I will definitely find them! If you try, a bicycle can become 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...
