Chapter 555 The Death of the Treasure Hunter (1)
1
Devil's Mountain is located in the west of Yangtze City, 65 kilometers away from the city, and has an altitude of only 800 meters. However, it is steep and steep. It has been said in Devil's Eye before that four young people who like adventure were framed by a murderer and buried deep in the Carrot Cave by the hospital. The cobalt-60 radiation in the body causes premature death.

The upper half of Devil's Mountain is steep, but the lower half is relatively wide and flat, forming a valley and basin. Opposite it is Shenxian Mountain. The two mountains are far apart from each other. In the middle is an ancient road, which was the only way for ancient business travelers to the northwest. However, now there are few pedestrians, weeds are everywhere, and the road is full of thorns.

There is a small village at the foot of the mountain called Mingcun. There used to be more than 300 households and a population of 1500 in the village. However, after my country's reform and opening up, the vast majority of the villagers went to the city to work or do business and buy goods in the city. Therefore, this village, which is only 50 kilometers away from the urban area, is gradually dying. All young people are running to the city. Buying a house in the city is almost every villager's lifelong dream.

Therefore, only the elderly, children and poor households who cannot afford to relocate are left in Mingcun. Together, there are less than 400 people.These people live in dilapidated bungalows and live an ordinary and poor life. The huge village becomes quiet and lonely.

Mingcun is 200 meters above sea level, and most of the surrounding areas are farmland. However, because it is close to the city, it is rented by vegetable farmers from other places to grow vegetables.The villagers live a meager life with land rent and government subsidies. Their only dream is to wait for developers to buy their farmland and old houses. However, their wait is still a fantasy.

Mingcun is in the shape of a pyramid, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The houses are distributed in terraces and are closely pressed by the Devil Mountain and the Fairy Mountain. Therefore, there is an endless green pine forest outside the village. However, it seems that those pine trees cannot grow taller in 1000 years. It seems that it is difficult to become useful. It is conceivable that the land here is not fertile.

There is a red brick bungalow on the top of Mingcun Village with four rooms in total. There lives an old lady named Wu Mingxia. She is 72 years old and is a very special person because she is not a local villager. She is a retiree. Professor, national model worker, enjoying special allowances from the State Council.

When she was young, she went to study in the UK and majored in electronics at Cambridge University. After graduation, she was full of patriotism and devoted herself to the construction of New China. She was particularly good at motors and electrical control and made outstanding contributions to my country's motor industry.

Before retiring, she was the vice president of the Provincial Electrical Machinery Research Institute, with a monthly salary of 40000 yuan. However, she was low-key and spent more than half of her salary on charity. She lived in Mingcun, a place with inconvenient transportation, and lived a poor and quiet life. days.She misses this bungalow where she and her husband have lived for 30 years. It smells of her husband, so she refuses to move.

She has a house in the urban area, which was awarded to her by Dongfang Motor Factory, a famous private enterprise in the province, because she solved the problem of engine heating for Dongfang Motor Company, extended the safety factor and life of the motor, and brought great benefits to Dongfang Motor Company. With a profit of hundreds of millions, she accepted this house with the approval of her office leader because she wanted to leave this house to her only grandson as a wedding home.

Wu Mingxia was very beautiful when she was young, with small and delicate facial features, a straight nose, bright and big eyes, shining like the Big Dipper, and exuding the fragrance of books, her temperament was so elegant that it could not be copied.Her figure is not tall, 163 centimeters, but she looks coordinated, slender, and flexible because of her slimness. The only drawback is that her skin is slightly dark.

Wu Mingxia named this bungalow "Shanshui Residence" and spent a lot of money to have craftsmen carve a travel book "Shanshui Residence" plaque out of mahogany and hang it right above the door. She often wiped the plaque with a ladder, always afraid of it. It collects dust and even takes care of the plaque like its own eyes.

She was born on September 1945, 9. She is a Virgo. She has severe mysophobia and even obsessive-compulsive disorder. She strives to do everything she wants to do to the extreme. Perhaps it is this quality that makes her an outstanding person. Excellent people.

Shanshui Residence has four rooms in total: a living room; a master bedroom; a study room; and a guest bedroom.There is a small kitchen outside the house, totaling 105 square meters. Living alone seems empty and quiet. If young people live there, they will definitely not be used to it. However, Wu Mingxia has long been accustomed to this kind of life.

When she first retired, she felt uncomfortable because she was a restless person. She retired on time at the age of 55. She once had questions about the country's retirement system. Why should people retire so early?For those who are engaged in scientific research, 55 years old is at the peak of their career, but unfortunately they are retired.

The weather was good that day. The rising sun slowly rose from the direction of the East China Sea. The warm morning light passed through the light clouds softly and shone on the Shanshui Residence. It filtered through the screen window of the study and painted on the mahogany bookcase, reflecting the purple-red color. Light.

Wu Mingxia is used to starting reading at dawn. She is reading "In Search of Lost Time". She has always wanted to read this book. However, because the book is too thick, she has not been able to read it for a year, so she can only read it in her dreams. Reading her is like falling in love with the dream lover of your youth. She does not miss every word and every detail, and carefully understands the various meanings in the book.

After an hour of morning reading, she put down the book, walked out of the study, opened the door, and welcomed the new day.She rubbed her eyes, opened a tin bucket, scooped out a large spoonful of rice, walked under the eaves of the kitchen, opened the fence of the chicken coop, and a group of chickens came running over, eager to show their goodwill to the owner so that she could get breakfast early. Give them rice.

She would laugh happily when she saw these dozen chickens, because she lived a life almost isolated from the world. The old people in the village rarely spoke the same language as her. Although they occasionally came to visit, because of the topic Not many, and the villagers left in good faith, so only these chickens kept her company and even talked to her.At this time, her cell phone rang in the study room. She poured the rice in her hand into the chicken's trough, then turned and walked towards the study room.She is not in a hurry. If the call automatically hangs up because no one answers, she can call back. Of course, it depends on who the caller is. She is using a Huawei smartphone, which can automatically identify whether it is a harassing call.

Sure enough, the call automatically hung up before she entered the study. She walked into the study, picked up her phone and saw that it was Zhou Guohua from the housing agency who called her.Zhou Guohua hasn't called her in five years, why would he call her today?
Soon after she retired, she was ready to sell Shanshui House. She started advertising in newspapers once a week for half a year, which consumed nearly two months of her salary, although people called almost every day. When she asked about the situation, she was told that she was joking because her bid was five times the market price, and some even called her a lunatic.

Of course, she doesn't mind. She believes that Shanshui Residence is worth the price. The reason is that Shanshui Residence is located at the top of Mingcun and has excellent feng shui. Otherwise, she and her husband Yang Weiye would not have become such outstanding talents. Unfortunately, he died of illness in 2003. Passed away at the age of 58, leaving her alone in this world.

Later, she stopped advertising in newspapers because many housing agencies called her and asked her to send them information about Shanshui Residence. She sent a total of 112 messages, which meant that 112 agencies knew the information about her house sale. , however, 15 years have passed, and no one is willing to pay five times more than the market price to buy Shanshui Residence.

She was not in a hurry. She believed that there must be a discerning person who would buy her house. If the deal was not completed before her death, she would ask her grandson to complete the task. Therefore, she was persistent. , even paranoid.There are many people whose talents are not met, and there are also houses whose talents are not met. She always believes that Shanshui House and the destined person have not yet met.

She unlocked her phone and called Zhou Guohua. After answering the call, Zhou Guohua asked happily: "Hello, Aunt Wu, where are you?" Zhou Guohua was not yet 30 years old and was a bit impatient.He didn't call her Grandma Wu, but Aunt Wu, which shows that he is not only smart, but also understands the psychology of his customers.

"I'm at home...at Shanshuiju." She said calmly, knowing that he might have good news to tell her, otherwise, he wouldn't be so happy and wouldn't call her before 8 a.m.

"Aunt Wu, a big boss is interested in your Shanshui Residence. He is willing to pay 50 yuan to buy it. Of course, they have to look at the house."

"No, I want to sell it for 60, not even a penny less!"

"Aunt Wu, five years ago you said you would sell it for 50 yuan. Why did you go back on your promise?"

"It's not that I'm going back on my word, it's because of inflation. 50 yuan five years ago can buy more things than 60 yuan now. In fact, the price has dropped."

"This... I will communicate with the client to see if he is willing to see the house. However, I hope you will take a step back, otherwise, it may be difficult to close the deal. Shanshui Residence has been on the market for 15 years. How can you not close the deal in 15 years? A house?"

"Xiao Zhou, thank you for your kindness. I still stick to my principles. It's not about money. The money the country gives me is enough for me to live a superior life."

"Well, I can only hope that the customer can pay 60." Zhou Guohua hung up the phone.

Wu Mingxia smiled, the dream she had been looking forward to for 15 years was finally coming true.
