Chapter 133: Are you robbing a tomb?

Jieling Village is actually not that big, and it took less than an hour to go around it.It was noon now, probably because every household was eating, and there were not many people in the village.

Most of the households are closed. Village head Wu introduced that due to the poor natural conditions in the village, no one is willing to live here any longer. Almost all of them went out to work, leaving only the old, the weak, the sick, women and children.

There were few houses with their doors open. When passing by one house, Lu Yan saw that the courtyard door was wide open, and there were two fashionable red palace lanterns hanging on the gate tower. He was a little curious, so he suggested to go in and have a look.

At this time, Village Chief Wu showed embarrassment, and kept saying that this house was nothing to look at, and suggested that Lu Yan go to the previous few houses to have a look.

The more Village Chief Wu was like this, the more strange Lu Yan felt. After some cross-examination, Village Chief Wu finally told the truth. Nonsense...

"Haha, what's the point, let's just see what kind of double pole this is." Lu Yan said with a smile, and stepped into the courtyard gate first.

Village head Wu had no choice but to follow in.

"Second Bai, are you there? Hurry up, the town mayor Lu and chairman Bai are here to see you." As soon as he entered the courtyard, Village Chief Wu shouted loudly.

"Which Mayor Lu? Are you here to distribute condolence money?" Following the voice of Village Chief Wu, a purple-skinned man with darkened skin came out of the yard, speaking with an accent obviously not from the Hongchuan area. The accent sounds a bit like Sichuan dialect.

"You know about the condolence money in one day, the condolence money, you said you are a strong man with so much money, you are ashamed to always eat the government's condolence money." Village Chief Wu said angrily.From the tone just now, it can be heard that Village Chief Wu obviously does not have a good impression of this second white child.

Bai Er didn't pay attention to Village Chief Wu. He just gave him a contemptuous look, and then passed by him, and noticed the three people walking behind him.

"Which one is Mayor Lu?" Bai Laoer asked with squinted eyes, his eyes seemed to be focused on Bai Shufeng, maybe in his mind, Lu Yan and Xiao Li were too young to be the mayor look.

"This is Mayor Lu of our town, and this is Chairman Bai of the National People's Congress." Xiao Li hurriedly introduced before Village Chief Wu.While talking, he took two steps forward and stood in front of Lu Yan and Bai Shufeng, as if protecting them.

"I don't know who it is. After a long time, it turned out to be a baby mayor. Haha." Bai Er looked at Lu Yan and laughed.

"Second Bai, don't be presumptuous, if you keep messing around, believe it or not, I will deduct your New Year's relief food." Village Chief Wu threatened.

"I'm afraid it's because you don't have the guts, and if you have the guts, you don't have the ability." Bai Laoer glanced at Village Chief Wu, "The relief food was allocated by the city and county. If you dare to withhold it, I'll go find this Lu The mayor, he is the mayor of the people, and he will definitely make the decision for me."

Bai Er Er said, and said to Lu Yan with a smile: "Mayor Lu, please come inside, I have this personality, you old man, please don't take offense."

Lu Yan smiled at Bai Er Er, said nothing, moved away and walked into the room.

Village head Wu gave Bai Erer a hard look, and followed Xiao Li into the house.

Bai Er Er looked at Village Chief Wu with disdain, and was the last one to enter the house.

The sun was shining brightly in the yard, but as soon as he entered the house, it was like entering a dark cave dwelling. There was darkness in front of his eyes, and Lu Yan was not used to it for a while.

However, the ability of human eyes to adapt to the new environment is quite strong. After only a short period of time, Lu Yan could clearly see the furnishings in the house.

This is a typical northern farm hut. As soon as you enter the door, you can see a big kang with an iron stove on the edge of the kang. In front of it is a large square table surrounded by four chairs.

"Mayor Lu, please go to the kang." Village head Wu invited him from behind. In the concept of hospitality in Jieling Village, when distinguished guests come, they are usually invited to the kang to show respect.

"No, no, it's here." Lu Yan was not used to the way of putting slippers on the kang, so he quickly declined.

Xiao Li quickly pulled the stool back, and a group of people sat down around the table. There were only four chairs, and the three of Lu Yan and the others occupied three of them. down.

Xiao Li hurriedly got up and asked Village Chief Wu to sit down. After several refusals, the two squeezed a stool together.

The purpose of Lu Yan's visit this time is to understand the actual situation in each village, and naturally he asked some questions about Jieling in his words.

Although this Bai Er is really a bit of a second-guesser as Village Chief Wu said, he still speaks clearly about the affairs of Jieling Village.And it was obviously as if he had wandered outside, and there was a kind of disdain for the locals in Jieling in his speech.

When it came to the real talk, Bai Er Er was no longer such a two-shot, he and Lu Yan still talked very speculatively.From the conversation, Lu Yan learned that this white child was originally from Hanzhong at the junction of Shaanxi and Sichuan. When he was working in Wucheng, he met a girl from Jieling Village, and the two got along quickly.This girl had only one child in her family, and her father had always wanted to find a door-to-door son-in-law to take care of him. It happened that the relationship between Bai's second son and his parents and brothers in his hometown was also very tense, so he followed the girl back to Jieling Village to become a door-to-door son-in-law.

But this white second child is destined not to be a dutiful person, and he doesn't live very well after marriage. He sneaks around in the village every now and then, and the son-in-law who visits him hasn't been a few years before he is kicked out of the house by the hot-tempered old father-in-law.

Bai Laoer, who was driven out, did not leave Jieling Village, and he did not know where he got the money. He spent 2000 yuan to buy a house for a family in the village who was about to move out, and settled down in Jielingan. .

People in the village are very surprised that Bai Laoer does not make a living from hunting, nor does he go out to work.After a while, he took tools such as shovels, picks, etc. and walked to the back of the mountain. It usually took more than half a month to go there. Once he returned to the village, he went to Hongchuan County. When he came back from the county, he always had new clothes on his body. They brought back things in big and small bags, including wine and meat.Some people in the village even saw with their own eyes that there was a thick stack of red bills in his pocket, which was worth twenty to thirty thousand.

After a long time, people in the village began to speculate whether Bai Lao Er was engaged in some illegal activities, and some people even began to say that Bai Lao Er was robbing tombs with certainty.

But Jieling people have never heard of any ancient tombs in this place for generations.The people from the police station also squatted down several times and searched Bai Erer who came back from the back mountain, but found no cultural relics on him, but found a bank passbook, which turned out to be shocking. A jaw-dropping sum of more than 20 yuan.

Although there is no basis for it, everyone in Jieling Village believes that the money from Bai Lao Er must have come from unknown sources, and most likely it was from grave robbery.Some people have also followed Bai Lao Er, but every time he entered the mountain, he would throw him off.

Bai Lao Er is such a mysterious existence. Although everyone knows that he is rich, no one in Jieling Village thinks highly of him.
