Siheyuan: Space takes me to exchange!
Chapter 75: Tomb Raid Begins
Time passed day by day... Ding Qiunan did leave the steel mill as she said, and Li Xiuyuan never went to look for her again.
Seeing the bead in his mind grow bigger and brighter, he knew that he could travel through time again.
After the time he traveled through Hai City, he made two more trips. Once he went to the coastal province of Fujian, where he exchanged a lot of tea, rice, and fruits, such as lychees and longans.
He then exchanged these for beef, mutton, dried meat and dairy products from Inner Mongolia.
His space now has an area of more than 30 cubic meters, which is filled with various food, clothing and daily necessities. Every time he travels through time, Li Xiuyuan will collect various local supplies.
I don’t know where to go this time?
……
Shaanxi is a region with a long history, rich culture and beautiful natural environment. It is also a region with a very important strategic location.
This is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.
The 800-li Qinchuan land is majestic and vigorous
Qinling Mountains built her skeleton
The Yellow River flows with her blood
Qin bricks and Han tiles, bells, drums and wild goose pagodas
It is her eternal symbol
Millennium culture, the essence of China.
More than a dozen dynasties built their capitals here, and as a result, nearly a hundred imperial tombs were built and buried here.
This is why tomb robbers from home and abroad have flocked to this place for thousands of years.
The Weibei Plain in Guanzhong, Shaanxi, starts from Qianxian County in the west and ends at Pucheng County in the east. There are eighteen imperial tombs of the Tang Empire lined up in a row, stretching for hundreds of kilometers. It faces the Qinling Mountains in the distance, overlooks the fertile plain of Guanzhong for thousands of miles in front, and is backed by mountains and hills in the back. With the Feng River, Wei River, Jing River and other rivers winding around it, each of the Eighteen Tang Tombs can be said to be a Feng Shui treasure land that will be remembered throughout the ages.
In a courtyard in Fengjia Village, Qian County, Li Xiuyuan looked at the people in front of him and listened to them discussing how to rob a tomb.
Li Xiuyuan is no stranger to tomb robbing, as it can be found in modern novels, movies, TV dramas, and documentaries. He has seen a lot of them and enjoys watching them.
When I was in college, I hid in my bed in the dormitory and watched Ghost Blows Out the Light, and my eyes turned green.
Like "Looking for dragons and dividing gold, look at the winding mountains. Each winding mountain is a barrier. If there are thousands of locks on the door, there must be a king living there!"
There are also things like "Tang is half a mountain, Song is wide, Shang and Zhou are on both sides of the river... Tang tombs are sweet, Song tombs are astringent..." Anyway, there are quite a lot of them, but what you see on film and television is a world away from the reality!
The person who initiated the tomb robbery was a man in his forties named Liu Wenyuan, also known as "Liu Banxian".
Of course, having this name in this era would bring trouble, so Liu Banxian would not allow others to call him Liu Banxian, and he would get angry with anyone who called him that.
Liu Banxian is a native of Shaanxi, but not from Fengjia Village. He moved here after the liberation. No one knows where he moved from.
Before liberation, Liu Banxian made money by telling people's fortunes and looking at feng shui. After liberation, this profession was labeled as feudal superstition. Therefore, Liu Banxian turned over a new leaf and took the lead in criticizing the negative influence brought about by this feudal superstition.
Everyone saw that Liu Banxian was reflecting on himself and was quite sensible, so there was no need for them to pursue the matter further.
I heard from the older generation that Liu Banxian was quite capable, so everyone turned a blind eye to him and got along with him in a friendly manner.
But how could Liu Banxian, who was used to earning easy money, endure the farming life year after year, working hard but still not having enough to eat? Gradually, he started another business - tomb robbing.
In the past, he only brought his trusted confidants, Gao Yuan and his godson Feng Jiawang, with him when he robbed tombs.
But there were eight people robbing the tomb this time...
The first leader was Liu Banxian, who was not tall and thin, and often squinted his eyes, looking a little wretched.
He also has a strong follower, Gao Yuan, who is also a die-hard fan of Liu Banxian and listens to him very much.
Another one is Liu Banxian’s godson Feng Jiawang, who is twenty years old this year. He looks very delicate and doesn’t look like a tomb robber at all.
The three of them were the first tier, the earliest group.
Next are the villagers Feng Daniu and Feng Jiaxing. Feng Jiaxing is Feng Jiawang’s cousin, and there is another one named Gao Hu, who is Gao Yuan’s younger brother.
The final third echelon is the one that was developed last and is dispensable. The first one is Feng Erniu, who was developed by Feng Daniu and is his younger brother.
The body that Li Xiuyuan traveled through this time is called Feng Maodan, whose real name is Feng Jiahe. Maodan was able to join this tomb-robbing team because he and Feng Erniu are good friends.
Maodan is eighteen years old this year. He is in a good relationship with a girl in the village. The two of them have secretly decided to spend their lives together and will not marry anyone else.
But Maodan's family was poor! His father died early, leaving only him and his mother to depend on each other.
The girl's family wanted 30 yuan and 100 kilograms of corn as a dowry. This was a difficult situation for Maodan's family. They worked hard for a year to barely fill their stomachs, so how could they afford the dowry?
But the girl's family also said that if they couldn't raise the bride price, they would marry their daughter to someone else.
When Maodan was worrying about his problem, his friend Erniu came to him. After knowing Maodan's difficulties, Erniu recommended him to the tomb-robbing gang.
Maodan had no objection to tomb robbing. He knew that tomb robbing was immoral, but for Maodan, who was barely making ends meet, his moral bottom line was very low.
He only knew that tomb robbing not only allowed him to have enough food to eat, but most importantly, it allowed him to marry the woman he loved.
Therefore, Maodan agreed to Erniu's suggestion without hesitation. When Li Xiuyuan came over, he had already joined the gang and began to plan the operation.
