Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 117 Are you born in the Year of the Dog? Choose for yourself

Jiang Nanle still held the knife.

He looked at the Jiang family with deep hatred in his eyes.

I can understand how she feels.

Just like in the past, whenever someone said my father died outside, I would rush up and fight them to the death.

When Uncle Jiang saw her holding a knife in her hand, he took two steps back in fear.

Hiding in the crowd, he yelled, “Jiang Nan!”

"What are you doing with a knife? Are you trying to cause trouble?!"

The Jiang family members panicked and started yelling.

"Put down the knife quickly!"

"You unfilial son, you want your father to die and you can't even rest in peace?"

"If you don't put down the knife, I'll punish you according to family rules!"

As soon as the noise happened, the villagers who were waiting for the feast gathered around to watch the fun.

Some villagers pointed and talked.

"It's so hard for me, such a poor kid, to have to deal with these shameless relatives."

"Not only was her property robbed, but she was also sold to marry a fool. Her life is completely ruined."

"No one in the Jiang family is a coward. Jiang Laoqi's death was not simple. He was tricked..."

"Keep your voice down. Do you still want to enjoy the feast? Be careful, the Jiang family might get mad and not even eat a single bite at the table."

"Hehe, didn't they set up the buffet just to silence us? If they dare not give us food, they will go around saying that the Jiang family is inhumane."

The discussions made the Jiang family members' faces change drastically.

Uncle Jiang hurriedly shouted, "Old Four, hurry up and serve the food so everyone can eat and drink well!"

"Fellow villagers, please hurry back to the table and take your seats. Today, there will be plenty of wine and meat. Tomorrow, we will need your help in the funeral of the seventh brother!"

"Especially those brothers who are good at fighting, you should work harder tomorrow!"

The Gang Club has a long history and is also called the Gang Society.

In the past, people would ask neighbors for help when they held a funeral.

Especially the job of carrying the coffin during a funeral.

Because the coffin cannot be put down after being lifted and must be carried all the way to the grave for burial, young and strong people are needed to carry it.

Depending on the size and thickness of the coffin, the distance to the cemetery, etc., it may be carried by eight people, sixteen people, twenty-four people, etc.

During the coffin-carrying process, experienced people are needed to call out numbers and organize the process.

So gradually the gang club was formed.

People who participate in the Gang Club are generally respected in the village.

Because everyone will die one day.

After death, the coffin will be carried to the burial site by the people of the palanquin society. If you do not respect them, it will be bad if you are not helped when it is your turn to be buried.

When a funeral is held, a separate banquet will be prepared for the people in the funeral association.

If there are eight dishes on other people's tables, there will be twelve dishes on the table where the player gets the prize.

When they heard that the food was on the table and there was plenty of wine and meat, the villagers immediately dispersed and returned to their seats.

No matter how lively it was at that time, it was not as attractive as meat.

I also took advantage of Jiang Nanle's inattention and snatched the kitchen knife from her hand.

Jiang Nanle was stunned for a moment, then stared at me, questioning me with his eyes why I tried to grab the knife.

I put the kitchen knife into my bag and bowed to Uncle Jiang.

"Uncle Jiang, you were holding a knife to protect yourself from me. You just misunderstood me."

"This child is shy and thinks I'm a bad person."

"Oh, I see." Uncle Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he put on a stern face and said to Jiang Nanle, "You kid, go back with your family and live a good life. Stop being stupid and foolish."

"Your father will be buried properly, don't worry."

"A married woman is like spilled water. From now on, you are a member of the Jin family and have nothing to do with the Jiang family."

This is equivalent to kicking Jiang Nan out.

This is to prevent her from coming back to claim the family property and causing all kinds of disputes.

Jiang Nanle's chest heaved violently.

He was so angry that he opened his mouth to curse, but I covered his mouth first.

"hiss!"

I felt a sharp pain in my palm where she had bitten me hard.

"Are you a dog?"

"You won't listen unless you're beaten!"

I scolded her a few times, then I winked at Cui Hao.

They pulled Jiang Nanle out together.

Uncle Jiang smiled and said, "Women need to be beaten. If she doesn't obey you when you get home, beat her hard!"

"If you dare to sneak away, I'll chain you up and lock you in the house."

"Once you have a baby and care about it, it will be sensible and not run away!"

This is really vicious advice.

But they are common in the countryside, especially in remote areas.

Because of poverty, it was difficult to marry a wife properly, so he could only buy women from human traffickers.

The women who were sold were unwilling and would naturally look for opportunities to escape.

If they fail to escape and are caught, they will be severely beaten.

As more and more wives escaped, someone came up with the idea of ​​using chains to tie up the wives they had bought in the house like tying up dogs.

This practice is truly outrageous.

With Jiang Nanle's stubborn temper, if he were treated like this, he would probably fight to the death.

Seeing Jiang Nan's eyes were red, I quickly dragged her out.

"No no no!"

Jiang Nan struggled frantically.

She grabbed my hand that was covering her mouth and tried to pull it free.

Her nails pierced my skin and dug deep into my flesh.

I grimaced in pain but didn't dare let go.

As she was dragged out, a young man came running over.

Rushing to Uncle Jiang, he said, "My grandma said there were suspicious people in the village, and they've been asking around for a long time about where the Jiang family's grave is."

"I guess they want to dig up our ancestors' graves!"

"spread?!"

Uncle Jiang’s eyes immediately widened.

The importance of ancestral tombs to clans is self-evident.

Especially for families whose clans are still alive, they spare no effort to protect their ancestral tombs.

"Who is so bold as to set his sights on the Jiang family's grave?"

"Hurry up and lead the way, and catch those cowards!"

Uncle Jiang waved his hand and rushed out with a dozen young men.

My heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Lao Li is under suspicion?

Then you have to run away quickly!

"Mouse, hurry up and leave."

After greeting Cui Hao, I dragged Jiang Nanle away quickly.

When I was about to leave the village, I vaguely heard a pig-killing-like shout coming from the village, which seemed to be Daquan's voice.

But the sound soon faded away.

I guess Lao Li and the others have suffered.

It is not uncommon for tomb robbers to be blocked by villagers.

Later, on the top of Xuejiaping Mountain in Yongdeng, Gansu, there was a spectacular scene where more than 400 villagers surrounded more than 200 tomb robbers.

However, it is rare for a scouting operation to be suspected and blocked.

All I can say is that Mr. Li has had a bad year.

Cui Hao turned his head to look towards the village and asked nervously, "Brother, is something wrong with Lao Li and the others?"

"Definitely is."

"Hurry up and leave, in case they don't keep their mouths shut...hiss!"

Jiang Nanle bit my palm again.

She looked like an angry puppy whose tail was stepped on, with fire in her eyes.

I let go of my hand and looked at my palm.

There were two obvious circles of teeth marks on the palm of her hand, and there were several bloody marks on the back of her hand where she had scratched it.

"It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin."

"You are the dog! Why are you stopping me?"

"You heard everything the old man said. Is that what a human being would say? Is that what a human being would do?!"

"Give me back the knife! I'm going to settle the score with that old guy!"

Jiang Nanle lost his mind in anger, grabbed my bag and reached into the bag to take out a knife.

I took out the knife and threw it on the ground.

"If you really want revenge, follow me. If you want to die, I won't stop you."

"Choose for yourself."
