My wife is too strong, Mr. Chu can't stand it

Chapter 22 The Collision of the Old and New Eras

It’s no wonder that Wang Chong didn’t dare to recognize him. After all, the fat man in front of him had nothing to do with Mr. Chang Ye in his memory.

Su Jin ignored Wang Chong's excitement and nervousness, "Go get it if I tell you to."

Wang Chong was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and jumped into the water. The other ghosts did not move, but looked at Su Jin curiously.

If they had been dead for more than eighty years, Mr. Changye would have been a white-haired old grandfather even if he were still alive. How come he is still so young and fat like a landlord?

Su Jin ignored their stares and yawned out of boredom. He felt sleepy again.

Chu Heng looked at him, "Is it okay to tell them this?"

"People are dead, so if you tell others about it, there must be someone who can hear it."

Chu Heng thought about it and felt that it was right, so he asked him again, "Then can they still be reincarnated?"

"You have found the master's disciples and sent them to the Pure Land." Su Jin held his chin. He would not want to take action if he could avoid it.

Chu Heng was not sure whether the other party was feasible, so he could only ignore it for the time being. He felt that Su Jin seemed to be able to do it.

But he was more interested in something now. He asked, "Chang Ye was your name at that time? Why didn't you come and take them home after the war?"

Su Jin raised her eyes and looked at him coldly, "What do you think?"

"You...are dead?"

Su Jin rolled her eyes at him. "That was a war, not a peaceful and prosperous time. Isn't death a normal thing?"

"Then how did you die?"

Su Jin frowned, "I don't remember clearly."

Chu Heng was sure that Su Jin did not have a bad memory, but was just too lazy to think about it. If he wanted to, Su Jin would still be able to remember it.

Chu Heng tactfully didn't ask any further questions, but just waited quietly. Soon Wang Chong came back with a box.

I don’t know what’s applied to the outer layer, but it looks intact, unlike an ordinary wooden box that would rot.

Wang Chong went ashore, handed the box over, and watched him quietly.

Su Jin didn't say much. He took the box and cut the seal with a knife. He quickly pried it open, revealing a finely polished jade hairpin inside.

The finest mutton-fat white jade, although simple in style, it is not difficult to see how precious it is.

Chu Heng also came over and said, "Judging from the style of the wooden box, it should be an artifact from the Xuan Dynasty. Are you from the Xuan Dynasty?"

"The box isn't mine." Su Jin took out the jade hairpin and instinctively rubbed it. He had fallen in love with it at first sight, feeling it belonged to him. He had carried it with him for years. But with the subsequent war, he knew he might not be able to keep it, so he placed it under the water along with the other items, waiting to return for it later.

Su Jin casually put the wooden box aside and held the jade hairpin close to his heart with both hands. The emotion of regaining what he had lost overwhelmed him. This must be something very important to him, and he would not throw it away this time.

Su Jin's emotions were too obvious, and no one else dared to speak. Chu Heng tactfully kept his mouth shut.

It was just too cold outside, with so many ghosts around. After about ten minutes, he couldn't help but say, "Let's go wait in the tent. It's too cold outside."

Su Jin didn't think so. He raised his eyes and looked at the ghosts in the water who were staring at him eagerly. "I want to stay here."

The wind in the middle of the night blew through the treetops, making a rustling sound, which was particularly creepy in such an environment. Chu Heng had no choice but to move the tent over.

A group of ghosts just watched and were very curious about the things Chu Heng brought.

They have been dead for too long and have never seen these things. I want to ask but I think it might be inappropriate, but I can't help but look.

After Chu Heng finished cleaning up, he simply told them what happened after their death. He was very good at history, especially modern history.

When did the war break out, how many years did it last, what battles were fought, how many people died, in which year was the country founded, what policies were implemented, how many great men emerged, the country's current status in the world, and the development of science and technology.

Chu Heng slid his phone to show them the current construction of the country, the high-rise buildings, the endless flow of traffic, the military strength, and various weapons.

Young and old watched with shock and delight, but became depressed again as they watched.

Someone said, "What a pity, I couldn't get on the battlefield. I would have won if I had killed two of them."

This sentence made everyone look at the lake behind them. They didn't know how meaningful what they did was. They only knew that the foreign robbers wanted to rob them, but since it was theirs, why should they give it away?

Chu Heng seemed to see what they were thinking, and found some foreign museums that he had photographed with his camera. He told them how many cultural relics had been lost abroad during the war years and had not been able to return to the country until now. This was the country's history and also their regret.

Chu Heng said, "Those cultural relics bought by private individuals still have a chance to be sold back, but those in museums basically have no chance."

Everyone stared at those things for a long time, and Chu Yuandong suddenly said excitedly, "I've seen this jade Buddha head and those bowls. They're buried down there."

Wang Chong also said, "And the jade seal. Mr. Chang Ye carved it all night long, and I was guarding it that day."

"Yes! I've seen the master make that fancy thing too. I thought it looked nice. Mr. Changye even made me a small one, which I gave to my wife."

......

A group of people started talking at once, because they wanted to find Chu Yuandong. Chu Heng's mobile phone basically only recorded the cultural relics that were outflowed that year, and the overlap rate was very high.

Chu Heng was stunned when he heard this. He silently turned his gaze to look at Su Jin who was stroking the jade hairpin in a daze in the tent. If what they said was true, how much time did Su Jin spend on making those counterfeits to the point where they were so real?

Unfortunately, Su Jin didn't listen to their conversation. He was trying hard to recall that figure and the origin of the jade hairpin, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember it.

Su Jin felt very uncomfortable and completely lost her patience. She turned around and lay down holding the jade hairpin, looking a little self-destructive.

Chu Heng did not disturb them and stayed with them until late at night. The flashlight hung above the tent provided a certain field of view, hoping to drive away some wild animals.

But as the night deepened, some noises were heard. Chu Heng immediately became alert, picked up the electric baton and looked around.

Chu Yuandong comforted him, "Don't be afraid, little great-grandson. The wild beasts here dare not come."

Chu Heng did not let down his guard, but asked him, "Are they afraid of ghosts too?"

"Those creatures are much more alert than humans. I remember there was a period of time when people often came here, and we were afraid of being discovered, so we scared them. Gradually, people stopped coming. These creatures have only become so numerous in the last ten years or so. In the past, with the land being cleared, they had nowhere to hide."

This is the countryside. Previously, due to thalassemia, grain production was low, so even if you planted a lot, the harvest would be low. Now things are different. The country has planned a grain industry base, and most people in the countryside have gone out to work. Few people remain in their hometowns to farm, leaving the land barren and the wildlife more numerous.

Chu Heng was alert for a while, and was relieved when he found that those things really did not come over. He chatted with these ghosts all night with his phone plugged into the power bank.

It’s a pity that his cell phone has no signal, otherwise he could show them more things.
