Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

I don't know the deceased, and we have no blood relationship.

So I just performed three bows.

The little girl kowtowed in return, then glared at me hatefully with her red and swollen peach-like eyes.

Well, you think I'm a bad person.

"Don't try to take me away."

"Even if you give them money, I won't leave."

"I will never leave even if I die!"

There was determination in the little girl's eyes.

His right hand, which was originally resting on his leg, dropped down.

I followed his gaze.

I found a knife under her leg.

It seemed that she had already made up her mind to fight injustice with her life.

What a poor man.

I couldn't help but think of myself.

I don’t know where my parents are now, and it’s the same as having no parents at all.

If my grandfather hadn't protected me from the wind and rain, my life wouldn't be much better than this girl's.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of sympathy.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, she bit her lower lip hard with her pearly teeth.

A drop of blood emerged from his lips.

There was determination in her eyes, and her right hand hung down, tightly gripping the knife handle.

I quickly reached out and pressed my hand on the back of her cold hand.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm to you."

"Do not touch me!"

She glared at me fiercely and struggled with her hands.

A huge force burst out from her hands, like a fish that had just been caught and was struggling desperately, almost breaking free from my hands.

I used both hands to hold her right hand down.

"It's quite powerful."

"You really misunderstood me. I'm not here to buy you. They just mistakenly thought I was the one who wanted to buy you."

"But I can help you."

I explained quickly.

Her eyes gradually calmed down and she looked at me half-believingly and half-doubtingly.

"Why help me?"

Instead of asking how to help her, he asked why.

It can be seen that she has always lived very cautiously.

Full of doubts about everything around me.

Just like a wounded little animal, it will be alert to any movement around it.

"First, it's a feeling of sympathy. My parents are not around either."

"Secondly, they are outnumbered and know I have money."

"If I don't pay to buy you today, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the village safely."

"Are these two reasons enough?"

She pursed her lips.

After lowering his head, his right hand gradually loosened the grip of the knife.

"My father died fighting for water in the village, but they want to seize our property and sell me to a fool."

"I can't take this breath!"

Fighting over water for irrigation is a very common rural conflict in the north.

Especially the villages upstream and downstream of the canal.

Conflicts often arise due to water diversion upstream, which results in a lack of water for irrigation downstream.

Intense fights often lead to armed conflicts.

Dozens or even hundreds of young and middle-aged men from the two villages fought each other, and some even took out hunting rifles and homemade cannons to open fire.

The girl's father died fighting for water for the village.

After his death, his entire family was eaten up. These people really went too far.

Cui Hao clenched his fist and swung it out fiercely: "Fuck it!"

"Damn these bastards!"

I think they deserve to die too.

But what we need to do now is to leave safely.

"Sister, I haven't asked your name yet. My name is Chen Shitou, and his name is Cui Hao."

"My name is Jiang Nanle. The sad Nanle means it will be resolved."

"That's a weird name." Cui Hao realized he had lost his temper and quickly stuck out his tongue. "I mean, that's what..."

Jiang Nanle smiled bitterly and said, "You don't need to explain. They all say I have a strange name."

"Grandpa wanted a boy, so he named me a boy."

"Later, when registering my name, my dad for some reason said it was a boy, and he casually wrote "Nan" on the registrant's name, so that's how I got my name."

The origin of this name is quite sloppy.

But the world is sometimes so careless.

Isn’t there a saying that the world is just a huge makeshift team?

"It's difficult. This is what I think. I'll take you away from here first."

"I do not!"

Jiang Nanle widened his eyes and put his hand on the hilt of the knife again.

Well, he's a stubborn coward.

The characteristic of Shaanxi Lengwa is his stubbornness.

But I didn’t expect that Jiang Nan, a girl, was so stubborn.

"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

"I don't care. I'm not a gentleman!"

There was a glint of hatred in Jiang Nanle's eyes.

She was obviously furious.

I rubbed my head with a headache.

Talking to a stubborn person is like playing the lute to a cow.

"They are so many in number and so powerful. How many people can you kill to avenge your father with just one knife?"

"If you really want to avenge your father, then listen to me and leave with me today."

Jiang Nanle fell silent.

She knew she was alone.

Revenge is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

It's just that I can't swallow the anger in my heart.

Seeing her expression soften a little, I continued, "Besides, killing people is against the law, and you won't get any benefits if you kill them."

"There are many ways to take revenge. You can ruin the feng shui of your ancestors' graves and make them suffer retribution."

Jiang Nanle's eyes lit up.

But soon it dimmed again: "But my father will also be buried in the ancestral tomb."

"We can move your father to a good feng shui location for burial."

"Look at the coffin they prepared for your father. It's the worst kind of thin-skinned coffin."

"If you bury this kind of coffin, it will rot in a few years, and your father's body will be invaded by snakes, insects, rats and ants."

"As long as you listen to me, I will buy your father a good coffin and rebury him."

"Are you serious?" Jiang Nanle stared at me and asked.

I said very seriously, "I'm not lying at all."

"If you dare to lie to me... I recognize you, but the knife in my hand doesn't recognize you."

Jiang Nanle held the knife and made a ferocious expression.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm a man of my word and I will never lie to you."

"I'll go give them the money later, and I'll take you away when I come back."

"Okay." Jiang Nanle agreed readily.

Cui Hao and I left the mourning shed.

The Jiang family members who were standing not far away immediately surrounded them.

"Little brother, what do you think?"

"Is the girl pretty and healthy?"

"Fifty dollars is really a bargain!"

I smiled and said, "It's quite suitable. Who should I give the betrothal money to?"

"I'm her uncle, just give me the money." Uncle Jiang, the oldest one, stood up.

I took out five Great Unity notes from my bag and handed them over.

When Uncle Jiang was about to take the money, I took my hand back.

He looked at me puzzledly and asked, "What do you mean, do you want to regret it?"

"That's not the case. I just want a written agreement so that you won't have to explain it to me later if you come to my house."

"Tsk, haha!"

The Jiang family members all sneered.

"Look at how cunning you are. It's just a written agreement, what the hell."

Uncle Jiang asked someone to bring paper and pen and quickly wrote down the document.

He also pressed a bright red handprint on it with his thumb.

"The signatures and fingerprints are all here. Are you relieved now?"

"I'll give you the girl if I say so. I'll definitely not go to claim her as my relative in the future!"

I took the note and looked at it.

After confirming that everything was correct, he handed over the money.

"Then I'll bring people with me."

"Take him with you. Anyway, tomorrow morning my nephew will be the one throwing pots and beating banners. Will my daughter behave the same? The sooner you take her away, the better."

Uncle Jiang waved his hand and the Jiang family made way.

I entered the mourning shed, pulled Jiang Nanle up and walked out.

He warned: "Put away your knife, and don't do anything rash when you go out!"
