Chapter 336: Ganggang Yingzi
After determining the strategic direction, everyone began to discuss specific implementation steps, such as where to find the ancient tomb, what equipment to bring, etc.
The most frequent tomb robbery in this era are Henan, Shaanxi and Hunan. Basically, ancient tombs have been dug by others, and some have even been dug into hornet's nests. These places can be eliminated first.
Moreover, those places are flat and open, with farmland everywhere. The goal of robbing tombs is too big and easy to be discovered. It is better to find an ancient tomb in deep mountains and forests to protect it.
When talking about the deep mountains and forests, Hu Bayi immediately remembered the place he and the fat man had stayed when they went to the countryside. There was a large tomb in Niuxin Mountain not far from the village.
At that time, they were too young, they knew nothing, and they didn't pay much attention to it. They remembered that the tomb should be a large tomb before the Song Dynasty.
The fat man asked, "Old Hu, didn't you say that Niu Xinshan is haunted? Let's find a place that is not haunted. What if we really encounter it, what should we do? We don't have the means to deal with the spirits."
Hu Bayi said: "Little Pang, superstitious thoughts are not allowed! First, there are no ghosts in this world. What I told you before may be the hallucinations caused by my high fever or drinking too much, so I can't be told.
Second: This is our first action, and we don’t have to dig soil to get a tomb. Do you still remember that when we went to the mountains and the countryside, almost every household had some old things. We could earn a lot of money by bringing a few back and selling them to Dajinya, which would save us from having to do anything."
When they thought about it, everyone rushed to the fresh market to buy equipment, flashlights, ropes, candle backpacks, engineer shovels, etc.
The purchase of equipment almost cost Hu Bayi's retirement salary. It is gratifying that they bought two imported German engineer shovels.
This kind of engineer shovel was used by the German army to equip mountain assault divisions during World War II. A lot of them were seized by the former Soviet Union. At that time, the situation was not bad at home, so some of them flowed into the country.
This kind of engineer shovel has an excellent edge, which is easy to carry. In emergency situations, it can be swung directly as a weapon. It is the best outdoor adventure equipment.
Hu Bayi spent most of his money on buying these two engineer shovels, each of which costs 600 yuan. The price was so expensive that he refused to let go. In order to prevent him, Hu Bayi still bought it back.
These two engineer shovels were used by them. Chen Hao himself had the Daxia Dragon Bird Sword, so he naturally didn't need to prepare any weapons for him.
When all the equipment was purchased, Hu Bayi had only 10 yuan left, and even the fare for the three of them was gone.
The fat man had to clear out all his pirated tapes, and finally sold his tricycle together. He finally raised some money, which just enough for their round trip fare.
Everyone went to the train station overnight to buy train tickets to the train there. They thought that they would soon meet the villagers, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang, who had been separated for more than ten years, were a little excited.
The train was at 2:00 the next afternoon. Everyone was so excited that they didn't sleep all night. Finally, they could not wait until the afternoon of the second day, and everyone rushed to the train station.
When he walked on the road, Hu Bayi remembered to bring some things to the villagers. After all, he hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, so he just passed by empty-handedly. What's that like?
He quickly asked the fat man to count how much money he had left, but in the end he was only more than 150 yuan left, which was not enough to buy any gifts.
The fat man took down his jade pendant and said, "Why don't you take my jade as a piece of jade? Is it enough to replace it with a thousand-eight hundred yuan?"
"You should keep it. That is the only thought your father left for you. Don't worry about it as a mother. If you can't redeem money, you will regret it if you have money!" Hu Bayi said.
At this time, he can only rely on himself. Chen Hao is penniless and the fat man has no money, so neither of them can count on him.
In desperation, Hu Bayi had to use a limited edition Eagle Singer watch that his father gave him when he was promoted to company commander and took it to Dajinya for 200 yuan.
When Dajinya heard that everyone was going to take action, she seemed very excited. She also sponsored them 100 yuan and agreed with everyone to bring things back. He would definitely help find a buyer to take action.
In this way, everyone has more than 300 yuan in their hands. In such an era, it is enough for a family to live a carefree life of three or four months.
I used this more than 300 yuan to buy a lot of candied fruit, national food coupons, milk candies, tea, chocolate, etc., and some things that I could not eat in the village as a gift for the villagers.
After buying the goods, everyone couldn't wait to get on the train. After two days and two nights, they finally arrived at a small county town outside Ganggangyingzi.
After arriving at the county town, everyone took a tractor for most of the day and walked for another half of the day before they arrived in the town.
The town is still dozens of miles away from the village, but everyone has carried too many things and has been traveling around for so many days. I really can't walk anymore, so I had to find a small hotel in the town and rest for a night.
The next morning.
Everyone got up early, ate a bowl of wonton noodles next door, then packed up their equipment and went to the village. As a result, they met the accountant in the village where they came out to do business.
The accountant was a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. When Hu Bayi went to the countryside, she was still a half-little girl, following behind their butts all day and calling them brother.
The girl was very changed when she grew up. Hu Bayi didn't recognize that the girl was actually the little girl from that year, but the accountant recognized them.
Seeing that they were carrying so many things, the accountant quickly rode a bicycle back to the village and called several ox carts to help pull things.
After more than an hour of bumpy journey, everyone finally returned to the village where they had been away for many years. The villagers lined up to greet everyone at the entrance of the village.
Seeing that the villagers were all elderly, women, and children, and not a young and strong man, Hu Bayi asked the accountant what was going on.
The accountant girl said, "The young and strong people in the village went up the mountain to work with the archaeological team. Look, a small-scale earthquake some time ago, and a palace-like tomb collapsed from the mountain. There were many treasures inside.
The villagers all went to the mountains to move things, but for some reason, they alarmed the archaeological team in the county. On the second day, the archaeological team brought people and collected everything they got from each household, leaving nothing behind.
Then the archaeological team blocked the mountain and no longer allowed villagers to enter at will, saying that there were still many good things to be excavated. So, the laborers in the village were called to work, including food and accommodation, and were given three yuan a day. It has been several years of practice, but it has not been done well. Many people are putting them in the mountains every day to work."
