Chapter 210: Who Established the Foundation for Ten Thousand Generations

~10 min read 1,855 words

The Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau was, after all, an expert who ate dead people's food. In less than half a day, the white mud was peeled off layer by layer. The further inside, the harder it became. Later, sticky rice mixed with lime appeared, plus this mysterious white mud. With one pick, sparks flew everywhere.

The excavator roared and screamed, digging inch by inch. After finally digging through this layer of mud, I saw black charcoal.

The expert's expression was nervous, and a few fine beads of sweat oozed from the tip of his nose. After the charcoal appeared, he didn't let the excavator continue to dig, waved his hand to drive away the excavator, jumped in regardless of himself, fell on a pile of loose soil, and fell into a mouth of mud.

The scene had been under martial law, and I was also excluded.

Standing outside the crowd, I looked around and took out my phone to tell Guo Wei that there really was an ancient tomb group at the construction site!

Guo Wei didn't speak for a long time on the phone, and sighed for a long time: "Heaven is going to rain!"

I looked up at the sky and really saw a dark cloud floating over Laoyingzui, slowly covering the sun, and then a wind blew from the mouth of Laoyingzui, eerie and chilling to the bones.

Just as I was surprised, a burst of hail fell on my head, hitting the excavator with a ding-dong sound.

The crowd watching the fun ran away with a bang, each looking for something to cover, I took out the key, opened the car door, and got in quickly, but my head was still aching faintly.

This sudden hail stopped a few minutes later, and the sun came out again. The ground was white, and the hail, as big as a goose egg and as small as a cherry, was densely packed on the ground. Looking over, this hail had just fallen on this piece of Laoyingzui, and no shadow of hail could be seen anywhere else.

The hail smashed the cars parked on the side of the road, and the front windshield of the car He Jiaxiao left for my aunt was smashed with cracks. The most miserable were Sun Demao's three excavators, all the glass was smashed to pieces, and a driver was smashed with blood on his head.

As soon as the hail left, Zhao the Half-Immortal didn't know where he came out again, crying and howling. He said that he dug up the ancestor's grave and violated the heavenly law, and heaven punished him!

Zhao the Half-Immortal's crying made everyone feel creepy. Suddenly, they remembered that there was an expert at the bottom of the pit, and everyone swarmed to the edge of the pit, seeing the expert lying on a pile of soil, unable to move at all.

The leaders of the Cultural Relics Bureau begged everyone to go down to the pit to save people, but no one moved. Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but step back.

I had to stand up, didn't say a word, slid down along the mud on the edge of the pit. Just as I reached the bottom of the pit, I saw Hao Qiang also sliding down behind me. I smiled slightly at him, and the two of us walked to the expert and helped him up, but saw the expert's nostrils bleeding, his eyeballs rolling, and his hair sticky, already dyed bright red with blood.

A rope was thrown from above. I tied the rope to the expert's waist, and a shout came from above, pulling him up.

Only Hao Qiang and I were left at the bottom of the pit, stepping on the charcoal from a thousand years ago, my heart tightening.

Charcoal is also a cultural relic! I bent down and grabbed a handful of charcoal. Before I could look at it carefully, the charcoal floated and scattered between my fingers, turning into a wisp of light smoke and disappearing.

The foundation of a thousand years! I wanted to cry. The things buried underground for a thousand years actually turned into a wisp of light smoke after seeing the sun again! Thinking of this inexplicable hail just now, is it really heaven blaming?

The expert was sent to the county hospital in an emergency. The leader of the County Cultural Relics Management Institute rubbed his hands nervously, not knowing what to do next.

I walked up to him, stared into his eyes and said: "Director Ding, you must protect the scene. Before the experts come, no one is allowed to approach this pit."

Director Ding stammered: "Town Mayor... Chen, I... I have to ask... ask for instructions from the County Committee, it's too... too sudden."

I smiled and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Natural phenomenon, nothing strange. It has hailed in previous years!"

"Too strange." He calmed down a little: "I have been working in cultural relics for a lifetime, and this is the first time I have encountered it, the first time."

I called Hao Qiang over and asked him to call the leader of the police officers sent by the County Public Security Bureau. My position at the scene was the highest, so I naturally took on the responsibility of command.

The Public Security Bureau sent ten people. They all wore steel helmets on their heads. The hail just now had no effect on them.

I commanded the leader: "Assemble your people, be vigilant, and must protect the integrity of the scene. If anyone dares to defy the law, you can take mandatory measures if necessary."

The leader nodded firmly and led his people to surround the big pit.

Zhao the Half-Immortal was still sitting on the ground howling, surrounded by a group of people from Laoyingzui Village, each with a strange look in their eyes. This hail made them believe more firmly that there were treasures buried underground. Whenever a rare treasure sees the sun again, the celestial phenomenon must be abnormal!

I said to Zhao Dequan: "Dequan, take everyone home."

Zhao Dequan seemed not to hear my words. He held a hoe in his hand, supported his chin on the tip of the hoe handle, and looked at the big pit in the distance.

I increased my tone and said loudly: "Zhao Dequan, didn't you hear?"

Zhao Dequan came back to his senses and smiled slyly: "I can't call them."

"Zhao Dequan, now is an extraordinary period. As a village chief, you must take all responsibility. Now I order you to take the villagers back!" I kicked Zhao Dequan, he dodged, and there was no intention to leave at all.

"Director Hao!" I called Hao Qiang loudly.

Hao Qiang ran over when he heard the sound and stood beside me and asked: "Town Mayor Chen, what's the matter?"

I pointed to Zhao Dequan and said: "Invite him to the police station for tea!"

When Hao Qiang heard this, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to do it. Two small policemen saw that the director was about to do it, and rushed over like leopards, twisting Zhao Dequan one by one, and reached out to untie the handcuffs from his waist.

Zhao Dequan didn't expect me to be serious. He was taken aback. Helplessly, his hands were tightly grasped by the two policemen and he couldn't move at all, so he had to say with a crying face: "Town Mayor Chen, what are you doing? I'm standing here watching the fun, is that also against the law?"

"I didn't say you broke the law. Director Hao invited you to the police station for tea, he is treating you, who said you broke the law?" I said yin and yang: "Zhao Dequan, you are the kind of person who doesn't eat the toast and only eats the forfeit."

Hit the snake at the seven inches, catch the thief first catch the king! In Laoyingzui Village, the leader of the new generation is Zhao Dequan. Pinch his seven inches, and you pinch the seven inches of Laoyingzui Village. As for Zhao the Half-Immortal, he is already an outdated person, and he can't make waves!

Sure enough, other people saw Hao Qiang and the others caught Zhao Dequan, and no one spoke for a long time. They wanted to leave but were unwilling, only staring at Zhao Dequan.

Zhao Dequan saw that the general trend was gone, so he had to lower his head and said with a shriveled mouth: "Town Mayor Chen, you are ruthless! Can't I go back? I don't want to drink the tea at the police station, it chokes the throat."

"Still 'old man, old man', be honest." Hao Qiang stopped his words, touched the handcuffs from behind his butt, deliberately shook them in front of him and said: "See who is the old man."

I gave Hao Qiang a wink. If I really handcuffed Zhao Dequan away, the construction site would never have a peaceful day.

"You listen to the old man too. Now this construction site, even the town government has no right to handle it. Everything is decided by the County Committee. I won't stop you if you want to make trouble. If something happens, even the King of Heaven can't save you, understand?"

Zhao Dequan hung his head and nodded vigorously: "Forget it, the old man will go back to sleep. Whether it's an ancestor or not, I can't even protect myself, can I protect the ancestor? I'll go back, okay."

I signaled the little policeman to release his hand. Zhao Dequan rubbed his wrists, picked up the hoe from the ground, and said in a low voice: "Let's go back, are you waiting here to die?"

The people of Laoyingzui Village followed Zhao Dequan, helped Zhao the Half-Immortal, who was crying with a nose and tears, and left step by step.

The construction site became quiet. The other people from the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau were frightened by the hail and hid in the car for a long time without coming down.

I stood on the open space as big as dozens of football fields, my eyes vast and lonely. If it weren't for this stone coffin, the land leveling process could be completed in three days, and in less than two months, a five-story office building would rise from the ground here.

Now everything has become uncontrollable. The construction site is like an elephant that has been seriously injured, lying lonely under Laoyingzui Mountain, snorting in its nose, unable to stand up again.

This place has spent a lot of our hard work, especially Guo Wei, who has poured almost all of his efforts into it.

In a trance, I seemed to see Guo Wei's tearful eyes, and my heart couldn't help but be excited, and tears flowed out involuntarily.

Who is buried underground? What is inside? The doubts in my heart became tighter and tighter, as if to block my breathing, making me unable to breathe. ===== CHAPTER 211 =====
