Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 28 The Legend of the Golden Vein

When Bai Jing heard Hu Bayi's words, he nodded and said: "There's nothing wrong with what Old Hu said. No matter what, let's just be on guard. We'll wait until the old Party Secretary and the others come back, and ask the Old Party Secretary to find out about Mr. Knocking Shan." That’s it.”

When Hu Bayi heard this, he couldn't help but look at Fatty Wang and said: "Okay, let's do it like this. Tomorrow we will give the golden beans to the people whose chickens were eaten by Huangpizi, and then we can buy some of the rest. If you want to have a few drinks with the old party secretary over wine, food, etc., what can't you say to him?"

Both Bai Jing and Fatty agreed with this proposal.

Seeing that the discussion was over and it was already getting late, Bai Jing and the other three turned off the lights and went back to bed to sleep.

Several people went up the mountain early this morning. After a busy day, Bai Jing had been practicing martial arts since childhood, but Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang fell asleep as soon as they touched the kang.

Bai Jing slowly fell into sleep listening to the snoring of Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang.

After a speechless night, Bai Jing got up early the next day. He first practiced some boxing and body skills, and then started making porridge.

By the time Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang woke up, Bai Jing had already cooked the porridge.

Bai Jing said while drinking porridge: "Old Hu, you will go and deliver food to Swallow and Thrush later, and then see how Thrush is doing. Fatty and I will tidy up. When you come back, we will leave the village alone first." Let's gather the chickens together, divide the golden beans, and then go to the forest farm together to see how Hua Bangzi said it is going."

Hu Bayi responded.

After breakfast, Hu Bayi took his lunch box to the blind mother-in-law's home.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang began to pack the bedding and wash the dishes.

Hu Bayi didn't go away for long and came back soon.

Bai Jing and Fatty Wang just happened to have finished cleaning up.

Immediately, the three of them took Jin Douzi to the brigade headquarters.

Soon, the sound of the radio rang in the village.

"Notice, please notify me. Those who have had their chickens taken away by Huang Pizi should gather at the brigade headquarters. Those who have had their chickens taken away by Huang Pizi should gather at the brigade headquarters."

This is the brigade's clerk making a broadcast.

Soon, those families whose chickens had been taken away gathered at the brigade headquarters.

Then, the clerk took out a piece of paper. This was the number of chickens that Bai Jing had asked the clerk to count before he went up the mountain yesterday.

When the people in the village arrived at the brigade headquarters, they didn't know what they were asked to do.

But when Bai Jing announced that he would compensate everyone, everyone became excited.

Bai Jing took out the golden beans from his arms.

In the brigade headquarters, Bai Jing had already weighed the gold on a scale.

Excluding the gold allocated to Huamei, the remaining gold totaled about 57 grams.

This scale isn't actually very accurate, but it's just about right.

According to statistics, a total of 136 chickens were lost in the village, most of which were already grown chickens.

According to the current market price, the price of a chicken is about one yuan.

The current local gold price is about 10 yuan/gram. In fact, as far as Bai Jing knows, this price is far lower than the international gold price. The current international gold price is about yuan/gram.

But there is no way, who allows them to live in the country now.

Later, because some of these chickens were fully grown, many were not yet fully grown.

In the end, after discussions with the clerk and the captain, it was decided that four chickens would be counted per gram of gold. In the end, 34 grams of gold was spent to compensate all the families who had lost their chickens.

For a time, everyone in the village smiled. After Bai Jing and the three of them finished doing this, it was already mid-morning.

Immediately, they went to the forest farm together.

When they arrived, they saw Sun Kaoshan smoking a cigarette in the house, and Hua Bangzi was tied up in a corner.

Upon seeing this, Hu Bayi asked: "Old man, did you ask anything?"

Hearing this, Sun Kaoshan stopped smoking, put the pipe on the table, then took out something and looked at Hu Bayi.

"I didn't ask anything, but I found this thing out of him. You can show it to me."

Then, Bai Jing and Hu Bayi saw the object in Sun Koushan's hand, which was actually a piece of gold the size of a thumb.

Seeing this thing, the fat man couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "What is this?"

Bai Jing also became serious at this moment.

"Gold!"

Sun Kaoshan nodded, and then said: "Yes, it is gold, but I have been in Tuanshanzi for decades, and I have never seen such pure gold."

Bai Jing weighed it, it was about sixty or seventy grams.

Moreover, judging from the appearance, it is definitely gold with a purity of over 90%.

Hu Bayi immediately asked: "Where did you find it?"

Sun Kaoshan picked up his pipe and pointed at Hua's arm and said, "He said he took it out of the stomach of a human bear."

When Hu Bayi heard this, he definitely didn't believe it, and immediately said: "If you listen to his nonsense, can a human bear still eat gold as a meal?"

When Hua Bangzi heard this, he said with some disdain: "You don't understand even if I tell you, this is Tuan Shanzi's biggest secret."

Then, without waiting for Bai Jing and others to speak, Hua Bangzi said expressionlessly: "The white tiger fell in Pingyang, and the golden dragon entered the green mountains, looking for the treasure, but none of the thousands of people returned it."

After saying that, Huabangzi burst out laughing.

When Sun Kaoshan heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then said with a recalling look on his face: "These words of this guy reminded me of some old things."

Bai Jing and the other three looked at Sun Kaoshan with some confusion.

Sun Kaoshan had no intention of betraying him, and immediately said: "It is said that many years ago, there was a shining golden dragon hidden in Tuanshanzi."

Afterwards, Bai Jing and the others listened to Sun Kaoshan's story.

The story goes like this. Decades ago, a group of thieves were searching for gold veins in the mountains. They dug for many years, but found nothing.

Until one day, before the people below had time to come up, the alarm bell suddenly rang.

The people who stayed on the ground thought that the people below had found the gold vein, but when they pulled the people up from the well, they found that all the people who went down the well were dead.

The most important thing is that the death of these people is very horrific. Everyone bleeds to death.

The people on the ground didn't know what happened underground, so they were ready to find out how these people died.

However, just when they were about to take a closer look, one of them suddenly opened his eyes, which scared the person above half to death.

The next moment, I saw a golden dragon rising into the sky from the well. For a moment, the ground shook and the mountains collapsed.

Until everyone was buried in the mountains.
