Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Grave, dry wood and raging fire
Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu walked around for a while before they found the battlefield near the grave hill.
At this time, she had a question in her mind: the cemetery is so big, why would so many people gather together to dig for treasure?
This doesn't make sense.
In the middle of the battlefield were Li Jun and Miao Dasao. Their last fight had not ended yet and the winner had not been decided.
Both of them were furious. Li Jun resented Miao Dasao for exposing the affair between her and Miao Lao Da. She lost face in front of everyone, especially her ex-husband Liu Jianshe also knew about it.
Mrs. Miao only regretted that she didn't slap her hard enough in the face last time, allowing her to hook up with married men everywhere.
Sister Miao looked down on Section Chief Liu's two wives. Compared with Li Jun, she still thought Han Ruixue was a good person. No matter how people around her called her a vixen, at least Han Ruixue did not seduce a married man.
People say that Li Jun is pitiful and has a good character, but what's the use? If Li Jun lives as their neighbor for two days, he will know what it means to have grievances that cannot be expressed.
When going up the mountain, brother and sister Liu Lei and Liu Tong also followed Li Jun. The two children didn't have many playmates in the staff quarters, and when they heard that their mother was going up the mountain to hunt for treasure, they immediately clamored to go with her.
Li Jun and Old Lady Liu were both unwilling to let the child go to the grave. After all, it was filled with strong negative energy. Liu Lei would not listen to their dissuasion and he insisted on going even if he rolled on the ground.
Firstly, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law doted on their grandson, and secondly, the Miao family was about to leave and there was no time to delay, so Li Jun gave the siblings two small bags and asked Liu Tong to carry a small shovel, and they went out.
Covered with mud, its original appearance cannot be seen clearly.
But just looking at its mysterious appearance, I feel that it must be something valuable.
Li Jun quietly glanced at the people around him and whispered to his son, "Hide it quickly, don't let anyone see it, it's valuable."
They were not far from each other, and Li Jun was very close to Mrs. Miao. The Miao family were all honest people, so they would not spread such words if they heard them.
But Miao Dasao had an old grudge against Li Jun. She had been digging for a long time but had not seen anything except soil. She saw that her arch-enemy had dug up something before her.
Feeling extremely unbalanced, Sister Miao couldn't help but taunt her, "When has your family ever seen anything valuable? Other people's things are good, otherwise you wouldn't always want to take advantage of others. Other people's things, other people's money, and other people's men are what you value most."
Being humiliated in public, Li Jun still wanted to play the victim, "Sister-in-law, did you misunderstand something? There is nothing between me and Brother Miao. It's okay if you misunderstood me, but it would be bad if you misunderstood Brother and affected your relationship."
Li Jun is very good at cultivating a pitiful reputation. Although she always loses to the young couple Song Guanshu and Jiang Ling, other neighbors in the family compound feel sorry for her, and she receives many real conveniences as a result.
The others were digging the ground enthusiastically, and when they heard the quarrel, they all looked up at the same time.
It was discovered that the two people involved in the dispute were old acquaintances of everyone.
There are many people in the steel plant, and they are not in the same workshop or department, nor are they neighbors, so it is unlikely that they know each other.
Section Chief Liu is a celebrity and a leading cadre in the factory. He is well known by other workers in the factory for his romantic scandals and complicated emotional life.
Before his divorce, Section Chief Liu was already a celebrity in the factory.
At that time, Li Jun's reputation was not as good as it is now. She was suspicious every day and suspected that Section Chief Liu was having an affair. She often went to the factory to make trouble. At that time, the whole factory was watching the excitement in Section Chief Liu's house.
Even the factory leaders had a talk with Section Chief Liu. The family members often came to the factory to make trouble, and the impact was really bad.
The families of the steel plant employees heard that Li Jun and Miao Dasao had a fight a while ago. Many people had only heard the description but had never seen it with their own eyes.
Seeing the two men fighting, they both put down their shovels, thinking that they could make up for the regret of last month.
When Juxiang's husband Miao Laosan saw that something was not right, he quickly ran down the mountain to look for someone. As for who he was looking for, it was of course Section Chief Liu.
The murderer Chen Mazi was mingling among the crowd. He thought he could sleep soundly as long as he hid the gun on the grave hill, especially since there were rumors that the grave was haunted.
Who would have thought that strange things would happen one after another in this steel plant’s staff quarters.
He buried the gun in the cemetery behind the steel plant, so he naturally paid more attention to the rumors related to that area.
As a result, they heard that there was a treasure buried on the other side of the cemetery, and many people rushed there to dig for it.
As soon as he buried the gun, someone went to dig for treasure.
He didn't know whether he could dig up treasure or not, but the probability of digging up a gun was definitely greater than the possibility of digging up gold and silver treasures.
If he lost the pistol he had obtained with great difficulty, he would have to rob it again.
This was very troublesome for him. Chen Mazi was not the type to sit and wait for death, so he went to the market to buy a new shovel and blended in with the crowd of treasure hunters.
He could mislead the people who were trying to dig for treasure and keep them away from the grave of the Yu family girl.
You can also find an opportunity to dig out the gun under the cover of night.
Chen Mazi was a man of great eloquence. He said that he had heard an old man tell the story about a landlord named Wang from the perspective of Feng Shui.
After layer-by-layer analysis, we finally came to the conclusion that the mountain area far away from the grave mound is more likely to be the burial place of the landlord surnamed Wang.
The fact that landlord Wang is buried here means it is possible to dig up his gold, silver and jewelry buried with him here.
After some deception, the people who had dug halfway changed their digging location.
Seeing that the people around him were all listening to his nonsense, he had become a small leader among the treasure hunters, and Chen Mazi felt quite accomplished.
Everywhere he looked, there were people who followed his orders.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd started quarreling, and Chen Mazi stood up and tried to stop the two women's behavior, but the two of them started fighting.
Chen Mazi was dumbfounded. Are all the women in North City so tough? They would rather fight than argue.
Chen Mazi thought of himself as a small leader. "Why did they start fighting for no reason? People around should stop them from fighting."
When Li Jun had a fight with someone before, both children Liu Tong and Liu Lei rushed to protect their mother.
After that incident, Old Lady Liu secretly told her two grandsons, "When your mom fights with others again, you two must not get close to her. Your mom is an adult and can protect herself. You two are small and it would be bad if you get hurt."
The two children are at the age where they are establishing their own values, and they take whatever the adults say as their final decision.
Liu Tong and Liu Lei both felt that their grandmother was right. They were only pushed once last time, but their buttocks were sore for several days.
So this time when Li Jun was fighting with someone, the two children just watched from the side and did not come forward to help like they usually did.
Chen Mazi is short, less than 1.7 meters tall, but because of his poor background, he is very strong. He often got into fights with others when he was a child, which made him extremely good at hand-to-hand combat.
He is not afraid of fighting and is good at fighting.
Li Jun and Miao Dasao were fighting very fiercely, and the people around them were all honest and well-behaved, so they didn't dare to step forward.
Only Chen Mazi separated Miao Dasao and Li Jun. He picked them up one in each hand like they were chickens and threw them on the ground.
He snapped, "Stop messing around and get back to work."
When Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu arrived after a detour, the battle was over and everyone was
To be honest, everyone was frightened by the ferocity in Chen Mazi's eyes, and no one dared to make trouble for fear of being beaten.
Jiang Ling said to the people around her, "Are we late?"
Everyone lowered their heads and dug in silence. Only a middle-aged man with a shovel was not digging. His eyes were scanning the people who were digging for treasure.
He doesn't look like a treasure hunter, but more like a contractor among this group of people.
Jiang Ling tugged at Song Guanshu's sleeve and said, "Do you feel something strange?"
Song Guanshu said softly, "I was in a hurry to go up the mountain and forgot to bring a shovel. Let's go back."
Jiang Ling had no objection to his suggestion.
So he turned around and went down the mountain. Just at this moment Chen Mazi raised his head and saw two people going down the mountain.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at the backs of the two people as they left together.
Everyone was frightened by Chen Mazi and did not dare to go down the mountain at noon. They only found excuses to go home in the afternoon.
From that day on, no one dared to come to the mountain to dig for treasure, nor did they care about the so-called wealth. After all, rumors should not be taken seriously, and life is the most important thing.
The graveyard that had been noisy all day suddenly became quiet. Chen Mazi went to the grave of the Yu family girl swiftly. There was no one in the hill now, so he wanted to dig out the gun and take it out when it was completely dark.
From now on, it will have nothing to do with him even if these idiots dig up this mountain of graves.
He had the pistol on his waist, and the shotgun had long been put into the cloth bag containing the shovel, so outsiders would not be suspicious.
When he had done all this and was about to go down the mountain, a sudden female voice sounded behind him.
For a moment, he thought of the legend that this place was haunted. Chen Mazi, who had never believed in ghosts, thought that the girl from the Yu family had crawled out.
He turned around slowly and saw a slightly familiar face. It was the woman he had thrown to the ground during the day.
"When you kept tricking everyone into going to the other side to dig for treasure during the day, I knew you were not a simple person and had bad intentions. Did I discover it?"
Chen Mazi had no idea how much Li Jun had seen, and his hand quietly moved to where the gun was placed on his lower back.
"What are you doing back here?"
Li Jun saw the man putting something into the cloth bag. He didn't see clearly what it was, but he thought that this man had been organizing everyone to dig at the grave during the day.
She suddenly realized that this person must have dug up something good.
During the day, Li Jun knew that this man was very strong, and she knew that she couldn't confront him head-on.
So she chose a roundabout tactic, "I know you are different from others, you are particularly manly, to be honest, I have long been conquered by your charm."
Chen Mazi is almost fifty years old. His family is extremely poor. He has never been married and has never had a woman.
He had never seen Li Jun do this before. The woman who came to him didn't ask for money, so he would be stupid to refuse her.
Although he still had doubts about her, he quickly became addicted to her.
The two of them performed a live sex show next to the grave.
Chen Mazi still had some rationality left and held the gun at his waist tightly, not even daring to let go when taking off his pants.
When they were being affectionate afterwards, Li Jun snuggled into Chen Mazi's arms and said, "My dear, you are really amazing."
Chen Mazi's self-esteem as a man was greatly satisfied. He took out two big unity banknotes from his pocket and said, "Take them and spend them."
He just took out twenty yuan at a time. This man is much more generous than her ex-husband.
She was right. This man was indeed a capable man.
It was after his divorce that Li Jun learned how to coax people with his mouth.
Her salary was not high, and she wanted to support her two children and her mother-in-law, Old Lady Liu. It was obviously not enough to rely solely on her salary and the few dollars her ex-husband Liu Jianshe sent her from time to time.
So she thought of other ways to make a living.
Li Jun would never have expected that her interaction with Chen Mazi would be captured in a pair of childish eyes.
Her daughter Liu Tong was hiding in the dark and watching. Before going down the mountain, Li Jun entrusted her children to a neighbor and asked him to help bring them back.
Liu Tong was worried about her mother, so she asked her neighbors to help take care of her brother, while she followed Li Jun up the mountain from a distance.
Although Liu Tong was young and didn't know what her mother was doing, she knew not to rush over rashly, especially when she saw the man stuffing two big unity banknotes into her mother's pocket. She knew her mother was trying to make money.
From that day on, Li Jun and Chen Mazi had secret contact.
Although he never found out the whereabouts of the gold, silver and treasures from the other party, at least the man was very generous afterwards, sometimes giving him 20 or 30 yuan, and sometimes 70 or 80 yuan. He could earn so much money in a day, which was more than Liu Jianshe's monthly salary.
After having money in hand, Li Jun became extravagant in spending.
Even Jiang Ling was shocked by what she saw. It seemed that Li Jun wanted to compete with her in spending money.
Her family bought meat the day before, so Li Jun would definitely go buy a chicken the next day.
Jiang Ling washed the dress that her elder and second sisters had given her and hung it on the clothesline in the yard.
The next day, Li Jun not only bought new clothes for herself, but also put new clothes on everyone in her family, from Old Mrs. Liu to the two children.
Jiang Ling couldn't help but ask Song Guanshu privately, "How did Li Jun suddenly become so rich? This is very abnormal."
Song Guanshu looked up from his book and asked, "You are unwilling to lose to her by showing off your wealth?"
"No!" Jiang Ling forcibly took the book away from him. "She is usually very stingy. She will never spend money if she can avoid it. She will never spend her own money if she can spend other people's money. She didn't get a promotion or a raise, and her salary remains the same. What's the reason that made her suddenly start to spend money like water?"
Song Guanshu slapped her disruptive hand away and snatched the book back, "If you really want to know, you can go ask her."
Jiang Ling pursed her lips, "Then forget it."
Li Jun wanted to trick Chen Mazi into revealing the whereabouts of gold and silver treasures, but Chen Mazi was truly moved. Li Jun was the only woman who approached him and said sweet words to him in all these years.
After being single for a long time, Chen Mazi thought he had met true love.
Chen Mazi knew that his identity was not to be revealed, and he had never thought of living in Beicheng for a long time. Beicheng was too close to Hucheng, and Chen Mazi was afraid that he would be caught by the police in Hucheng. He had to at least flee to the south to feel at ease.
Chen Mazi didn't dare let his sweetheart know what he did, and only said that he made some money from small business.
In recent years, many people have made money by doing business secretly.
Li Jun firmly believed this.
However, when Chen Mazi proposed to take her to the south. Li Jun hesitated. She had relatives and children in North City, and she was unwilling to give up everything she had.
It is impossible for Chen Mazi to stay in Beicheng for her. Love is precious, but life is more precious. If it is for money, both can be abandoned.
But he invested too much in Li Jun. He gave Li Jun a few hundred yuan in total.
Although he robbed a total of 30,000 yuan, a few hundred yuan was only a few tenths of it.
For a man like him who came from a poor family, this was equivalent to a big tiled house in the village. He was very generous when he was cheated, but he regretted it after he went back and calmed down.
He jumped back and forth between generosity and regret, and in the end, the money he gave to Li Jun grew like a snowball.
The cost of silence was too high and he was unwilling to give up Li Jun.
When Chen Mazi heard Li Jun firmly say that she was unwilling to leave North City with him, he took out his gun and put it against her waist, "You still don't want to go now?"
Li Jun initially thought that the man was joking, until she felt the cold feel of the butt of the gun and saw the fierce look in the man's eyes, she realized it was not the case.
She just wanted to make a little money and didn't want to risk her life.
Li Jun collapsed to the ground. "My children are still young. If I leave with you, they will be left without a mother."
"If you don't come with me, they will also be without a mother. You can make your own choice."
"I, I can go with you. I want to spend two more days with the child before I leave." She smiled sadly, "After I leave, I may never have the chance to see him again in this life."
Chen Mazi liked Li Jun and said generously, "Okay."
Li Jun returned home in a daze. He first saw Han Ruixue flirting with Section Chief Liu in the front room, and then heard Jiang Ling's silver bell-like laughter coming from the opposite door.
She felt that she was the most unlucky person in the world. Why could others live so well while she had to live in darkness where the sun could never shine?
Li Jun originally wanted to go to the police station to call the police and have Chen Mazi arrested.
But she has changed her mind now.
The next time he met Chen Mazi, Li Jun was particularly enthusiastic and used all his tricks to seduce Chen Mazi, making him unable to stop.
Chen Mazi thought Li Jun had come to terms with it and was in a good mood.
He didn't want to kill Li Jun, he wanted to live with him more.
Li Jun thought it through, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Chen Mazi held her in his arms and planned for the future. "I have money in my hands. Let's go to the south and live a good life. There is money in the south, which is much better than this shabby place. We can buy whatever you want."
Li Jun hummed, "I believe whatever you say. No matter whether we are rich or poor, it's enough to be with you."
Chen Mazi felt relieved after hearing these words, and then he heard Li Jun say, "I have two enemies in the North City Family Compound. If you help me deal with them, I will go to the South with you."
Li Jun didn't know what this man did, nor did he know his past. He only guessed from the gun in his hand that he was probably a desperado.
Chen Mazi thought it was a big deal, not worth her speaking in such a serious tone.
He has taken many lives, so he doesn't care if he loses two more.
"What is your enemy's name? Where does he live? Tell me their whereabouts?"
Chen Mazi originally thought it was Mrs. Miao who had had a big fight with Li Jun a few days ago, but when he heard her name and characteristics, it turned out not to be her at all.
"Han Ruixue and Jiang Ling, right? I see. Pack your luggage. I will take care of them within three days. Remember to leave North City with me then."
Li Jun had a good plan. She used this man to deal with those two bitches, and then she reported them to the police station, thus killing three birds with one stone.
"These two bitches are both pretty good looking." Her tone was full of jealousy and cruelty, "You can do whatever you want before we resolve this."
