Chapter 108, buried in the ground for safety
On the pier, there was a long queue, and Nan Yi stood on the high ground and watched.
At this point in time, farmers in other places are guarding their one-third of an acre of land, and workers are working diligently, but the people of Wenzhou have taken their business to the whole country and the world.
Through the telescope, Nan Yi saw the queue at the pier slowly coming forward and taking the tickets one by one from the loud-voiced conductor.
Adjusting the focus, Nan Yi saw the price of the ferry ticket to Shanghai written on the small blackboard.
"Are they all just speculating?"
"Most of them, it's just like crossing the river by feeling for stones. They are all stones. Whether they will sink to the bottom of the river depends on God's displeasure. Okay, let's line up and take the boat to Shanghai."
Nanyi didn't want to waste time explaining to Zuo Can which ones were speculators and which ones were already allowed by the policy.
After staying in Yangcheng for two days and seeing all the places where domestic businessmen are concentrated, Nan Yi and Zuo Can returned to Shajiaotou.
The Revolutionary Committee has been cancelled, and the names of various administrative units have been changed. Shajiaotou has become a township, and Wenchangwei Brigade has become Wenchangwei Village.
After asking around all the way, I found a man who was secretly doing business.
"Boss, is there a coffin?"
"Yes, what kind of wood do you want?"
"Just plain cypress wood, for adults."
"When?"
"Tomorrow is the fourth day of the seventh lunar month for those who died while sleeping. It is appropriate for them to be buried. Can they be delivered to Wenchangwei by now?"
"Okay, do you want a Taoist priest?"
"Yes, how do you calculate the money?"
"The coffin is thirty-five, and I will put some candles and yellow paper for you; you can settle the money with the Taoist priest yourself."
"Okay, give me some tinfoil, two handfuls of incense, and a knife of yellow paper. I'll take them away now." Nan Yi nodded and said.
"Two more dollars."
"Okay, when you come tomorrow, just ask about the Nanyi family. Come from the southwest. The coffin is parked on the tidal flat outside the village near Shenzhou Bay."
"good."
After finalizing the deal with the owner of the Baishi shop, I found a person selling vegetables secretly, bought tofu, cut a strip of double-knife meat, and bought a capon.
Back at Nanzhai, Nan Yi pointed to the kitchen to Zuo Can, "That's the kitchen. Help me boil a pot of hot water and remove the chicken feathers."
"good."
Zuo Can went to boil water, while Nan Yi went to the utility room, took out the basket where the sacrificial supplies were stored, and also picked up an empty basket.
Sit in the yard, fold the tinfoil paper into gold ingots, and fold the yellow watch paper in half.
It didn't take long for Zuo Can to finish cooking the chicken. Nan Yi asked him to continue boiling water and took the chicken from his hand, cleaning the chicken and the meat he bought.
…
After placing the sacrifices and lighting the candles, Nan Yi took the incense and worshiped the well. After burning most of the ingots and yellow paper he had just prepared, he asked Zuo Can to move the bluestone from the well with him.
"There is a corpse at the bottom of the well. He is an officer of the Guangdong Army. He has been dead for I don't know how many years. You can go down and fish him out later. I will call the village committee and ask people from the police station to come and take a look.
He was buried."
"good."
After picking up the body, a jeep from the police station came over and looked at the body. Apart from being curious that the body was not rotten, they didn't feel anything was wrong after Nan Yi explained that the well water was very cold.
Nan Yi took the initiative to let him bury the body, so the people at the police station didn't have to worry about it. They just registered it and then left.
It's not a murder case. They take away the body and are responsible for handling it. It's better to do less than to do more.
The liberation was only about thirty years ago. The warlords had been fighting for decades in the front, and there were a few confused accounts in the back. If you dig into any piece of land, you can dig out a lot of bones.
People at the police station are not surprised by such things.
"Uncle Xian, do you know him?"
When there were only three people left in the yard, Nan Yi asked Xian Yaodong.
Xian Yaodong took a heavy drag on his cigarette, sighed and said, "I know him, the Liu family's son-in-law. I always thought he ran away from the country, but I didn't expect him to die in a well."
"Do you know when he died?"
"It was probably in the days before Baoan was liberated, but his death was strange. The Liu family were still there at that time, so how could he die in the well?"
"Uncle Xian, I'm asking something I shouldn't ask."
"go ahead."
"How many of the Liu family did you kill back then?"
"There are seven members of the Liu family. Except for the youngest son, all the others are dead."
"Where is the younger son?"
"I ran so fast, I guess I ran to the other side. It's hard to say where I am now."
There is still one person left alive, which may become a hidden danger for Nanyi.
In the basement, he did not find the house deed and land deed of Nanzhao. If this boy named Liu is doing well outside and invests several hundred million in the country in the future, and then takes the house deed and land deed to get the house back, the probability of getting it back is high.
Small.
"When were you born? What's your name?"
"He must have been born in 40 or 5 years, and his name seems to be Liu Nianzu."
"Uncle Xian, do the properties you confiscated from here match what you think the Liu family's family background is?"
"What's the match? It's simply too much." Xian Yaodong said regretfully: "However, most of them were taken away by the working group. There are not many people in the village hiding them, just some Yuan Datou and so on."
Nan Yi nodded, "We will discuss this matter another day. I have already ordered the coffin and will bury him tomorrow."
"Nanyi, have you discovered him earlier?"
"Just soaking in that well, Uncle Xian, do you think I wouldn't check if the well water is drinkable before I move in?"
"Then why?"
"I was worried at the time. Who knows what grudges you had with the Liu family back then? Who knows if he was killed by you. I thought you deliberately didn't tell me that there was a corpse in the well.
What should I do? I can only pretend to be stupid and pretend I don’t know."
"How is it possible? If that were the case, there was no way I wouldn't tell you. None of the Liu family died here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sold this house to you." Xian Yaodong said jumping to his feet.
"Forget it, it's all over."
The next day, Nanyi buried the unknown person on the tidal flat not far from Ke Liya.
Xian Yaodong only knew that he was the son-in-law of the Liu family, but he didn't know his last name. A high-ranking military officer back then would probably not have anything to do with the mud-legged people in Wenchangwei.
On the anonymous tombstone, Nanyi also left half of his epitaph - Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers.
The man has been laid to rest, but Nanyi still has some unfinished business.
He went to the city to get some cement and came back. He demolished the well wall that was above the ground, put cement on the bluestone, and completely sealed the wellhead. He also covered the bluestone with a layer of mud and planted snakes on it.
Destroy the family.
If the detector fails to detect gold in the ground when it arrives, Nanyi plans to pry open the bluestone in a year and a half to see if the two snapping turtles are attached.
In addition to gold, even if there are other valuable things here, they are of little significance to Nanyi.
Especially the bullshit national treasure-level antiques, Nanyi doesn't want to have them. Those things are useless if they are not suitable for eating or drinking.
