My wife is too strong, Mr. Chu can't stand it
Chapter 23 Finally sees the light of day
The whole night passed like this, and when it was almost dawn, Chu Heng went down the path. After finding a signal, he called his bodyguards and asked them to bring some things up.
People arrived at around eight o'clock. Chu Heng took the big bunch of incense, placed it around the lake and stuck it into the soil.
Such an action seemed very abrupt, but Chu Heng did not give any explanation, he just waited.
It was almost ten o'clock when the person he was waiting for arrived. Because there were so many people, it was a bit noisy. Chu Heng looked back at Su Jin who walked out of the tent with an ugly expression.
Chu Heng walked over after a brief negotiation and said, "People are coming and will go into the water to salvage the fish. Do you want to wait here?"
Su Jin looked back at those people and sneered, "Be it alive or dead, once you go down, don't even think about coming up."
Chu Heng immediately raised his voice to stop those who were about to put on their equipment. He recalled the conversation last night. There was no lake here before. It was Su Jin who led them to use the existing pits to fill the lake with water.
Chu Heng frowned and asked, "Can I let the water go?"
Su Jin found a big rock to sit on and pointed to a protruding gap next to it. "Put on the fishing net and smash it."
Chu Heng immediately discussed with those people. Some people insisted on going into the water to salvage the items. After all, there were people living at the foot of the mountain. What if the crops and residents were washed away?
This is indeed a problem, but if there really is something down there, it would not be good if something happened after going down.
Chu Heng could only take his men to survey it again and found that there was a natural ditch under the gap, which could connect to the river ditch halfway up the mountain.
The water in the ditch flows all the way down the mountain and gathers into the river at the foot of the mountain, so there is no problem.
With the persuasion of the locals, they finally chose Su Jin's plan and installed the filter as quickly as possible. A group of people dug the gap, but just after digging a foot, the ground below collapsed.
The lake water continues to flow down, now all we have to do is wait.
Fortunately, the gap was about four meters in size, and the water flowed very quickly through such a large gap. For a moment, the only sound was the rushing water.
During the waiting time, several waves of people arrived one after another, including government officials from Yucheng, historians and antique appraisers.
They all rushed here after receiving the news to confirm whether there were really cultural relics buried underground.
The water level was lowered until almost nightfall near the shore, where the fish emerged, along with corpses.
They were still wearing clothes and not much was damaged, but their bodies had decayed over the years, leaving only bones.
The appearance of the corpses caused chaos at the scene. Soon someone came forward to start salvaging them, carrying out the corpses one by one and placing them neatly on the ground.
It was not until the evening that the lake was finally drained and all the bodies were salvaged. There were more than a hundred bodies, some of which were women, children and a few elderly people, and the rest were basically young and middle-aged people between their twenties and forties.
The appearance of these corpses also brought a big mystery. Chu Heng had no way to explain it and could only choose to remain silent.
The Chu family had been looking for Chu Yuandong for decades and had dealt with many people for this purpose, so he was able to invite these people over.
Even without him telling them, these people would have guessed for themselves. Besides, there was a list down there. As long as they could find their relatives, they could do a DNA test and send their bodies back. Even if they had no relatives, he would still send these people back. As for those bandits...
Chu Heng's eyes darkened. That happened more than eighty years ago and he couldn't change it, but the hatred for his relatives being killed would not disappear so easily.
Visibility was poor at night, so the group did not act rashly for fear of accidents and could only wait until the next day.
Perhaps because the corpses were fished out, the signal that was originally blocked suddenly appeared. Chu Heng held up the tablet and played the news broadcast for the ghosts that came out. He didn't have to tune in for several episodes. He just listened quietly to their chattering and discussed, and looked at the current prosperity through the screen across eighty years.
The tablet rang all night, and Chu Heng got up early. Unlike the darkness last night, he could see the entire bottom of the lake after dawn.
The deeper it gets towards the middle, it's like a giant funnel. Some people have gone in wearing protective gear to search, but they've gone around in circles and found nothing.
Chu Heng looked at the ghosts huddled under the shade of the trees. He thought for a moment, took out a black umbrella, and took Chu Yuandong out, then went in to look for him.
Following Chu Yuandong's instructions, Chu Heng came to an area and called on the bodyguards behind him to start digging.
This place is very remote, and cars can't get in. We can't use excavators, and we're afraid of damaging the things underneath.
Half an hour later they finally dug something up, a flat stone slab. A dozen people lifted it up together, revealing neatly stacked wooden boxes underneath.
Someone shouted excitedly, "Found it, here it is."
Then more people came over to help dig, and after moving three such stone slabs, they saw a wooden box of immeasurable value.
After the first wooden box was brought up, someone couldn't wait to open it. The wooden strips of the box were used to fix it so as not to damage the boxes inside. Moreover, the boxes inside were well waterproofed. They were carefully cut open along the gaps. The moment the box was opened, there was a sudden gasp at the scene.
An antique appraiser excitedly said, "This is Tang Dynasty porcelain, a pair! Exclusively for the royal family!"
This discovery excited everyone. A group of old men gathered around the pair of vases and looked at them carefully. After confirming several times, they immediately opened another box.
The person in charge was also excited. He immediately called back to report and notified people to find a construction team to build a road and take back all the cultural relics and the bones.
The police also set up a cordon and did not allow anyone to approach to prevent the cultural relics from being stolen or damaged.
It was really too noisy. I was woken up by the noise for two consecutive days. Su Jin rushed out and glared at him, "What are you making so much noise for! Use your mouth to work!"
The sudden sound made the scene quiet all of a sudden, and everyone looked at Su Jin. This fat guy has such a bad temper!
Chu Heng was startled and immediately ran up with an umbrella, "Sorry, the child has a bad temper."
Chu Heng apologized and put Su Jin behind him, then explained, "He's also from Yucheng. When he was a kid, he found a map with a route drawn on it, but he didn't know what it was for, so he burned it. I pushed him for a long time before he remembered and found this place, so he hasn't been in a good mood these past few days."
That was the hero. The group of people immediately stopped caring and spoke in lowered voices tacitly.
Seeing this, Chu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, pulled him to a secluded corner, and looked down at him, "How about I ask someone to take you to grandma's place?"
"No, we finally got to see the gentleman, we want to see more of him." Chu Yuandong said reluctantly. If he left, when would they be able to see him again?
The others were also reluctant to leave and all advised Su Jin to stay for two more days. Perhaps they would disappear after all the things were dug out.
Su Jin scratched her hair in annoyance and turned back to look at the boxes of cultural relics that were moved out, as well as the bodies packed in black bags.
He was the one who brought these people here and asked them to guard them, so he had to send them all back.
