Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

In Yi Zhongdi's view at the time, perhaps Han Niba took special care of him out of respect for him.

After all, Han Niba's father and Yi Zhongdi were old friends. They had survived the fire in the town together and slept on the same fire bed. However, Han Niba's father was a short-lived guy. After the situation calmed down, he would After working as a mason for a few years, he contracted a strange disease and died.

Therefore, Yi Zhongdi agreed without much thought.

The next day, Han Niba interrupted his work in the town and took a few apprentices and guys to Yijiazhuang to help build a wall in Yizhong.

Of course, Yizhongdi did not reduce his wages by half and relax his quality requirements. In the following days, Yizhongdi gave up his daily work and kept watching the construction site.

What made him gratified was that Han Niba was indeed the most skilled plasterer within a hundred miles. The fence was top-notch in terms of appearance and sturdiness. Only the large yard of the county landlord could. Compared.

At this time, Yi Zhongdi was immersed in the excitement of picking up a big deal.

But what he didn't expect was that the accident happened on the day when the wall was about to be built.

According to the rules of Yijiazhuang, whenever a house is about to be completed, the owner of the house needs to treat the craftsmen to a completion wine. On the one hand, it is to celebrate that the project is about to be completed, and on the other hand, it is to please the craftsmen and prevent them from being here. What little tricks do you use?

Some craftsmen are not very generous, especially when they feel that they are not taken seriously by their employers, they will secretly stuff strange things into the building.

Although those things are ineffective, they are still somewhat disturbing.

Although Yi Zhongdi was stingy, he still chose to abide by the old rules, bought meat and liquor from the town, and treated Han Niba and several apprentices to a delicious meal.

That day, Yizhong was drunk and drunk. After he had had enough wine and food, he was about to go back to sleep. Han Niba suddenly sent all his disciples away and called him to the back of a remote corner of the house.

Yi Zhongdi didn't care at the time, thinking that Han Niba was joking with him, but Han Niba's next words shocked him into a cold sweat.

Han Niba told Yi Zhongdi that he knew the source of funds for Yi Zhongdi to build a house.

Yi Zhongdi was not a fool. He knew very well that such a large amount of money would easily attract the attention of others, so he lied that the funds were years of savings. He also picked a root of old wild ginseng in the mountains last year and sold the old wild ginseng to Only those who collect mountain goods have saved enough money.

Obviously the funds Han Niba talks about are not those.

Just when Yi Zhongdi was still thinking of a way to defend himself, Han Niba directly told the location of Yi Zhongdi's gold and silver jewelry.

Yi Zhongdi was so frightened that he squatted on the ground. That batch of jewelry was not only prohibited, but also related to the murder more than ten years ago. If anyone knew that he had that batch of jewelry, not only would it cause big trouble, Maybe even eat peanuts.

Yi Zhongdi was a character after all. After being frightened, he quickly sobered up.

He was certain that the reason why Han Niba told him about this matter instead of directly reporting it to Yi Shan or the town leaders was because he had some agenda.

So Yi Zhongdi directly asked Han Niba about his true purpose.

Han Niba told Yi Zhongdi an incredible thing.

When the old patriarch of Yijiazhuang came to Yijiazhuang, he brought a large amount of gold and silver jewelry with him. The number was many times more than the jewelry in Yizhong, and there were also some precious antiques among them. Some of those antiques even With a history of thousands of years, it can be called a national treasure.

Han Niba's ancestor was a bricklayer. When he was building a house for the old patriarch, he overheard the conversation between the old patriarch and his wife and knew about the existence of these treasures.

But because I didn't hear the details about the treasure clearly, I tried to find the treasure in several places, but failed to find it.

Moreover, when the Yi family first moved here, the prestige of the clan leader was very high, and the Yi family was very united, so Han Niba's ancestors did not dare to take action at all.

Therefore, we can only pass this matter as a secret to future generations, hoping that future generations can find a way to obtain the Yi family's treasures.

But after so many years, the bricklayers of the Han family have made no progress in searching for the treasure.

By Han Niba's generation, the Yi family had fallen apart. Only then did Han Niba see hope. He knew that if he wanted to find the treasure, he had to find an insider within the Yi family.

This insider must meet two conditions. First, he has a high prestige in Yijiazhuang, so that he may be able to know the secrets of the year. In addition, it is also convenient to move around Yijiazhuang and find treasures.

Second, this person must have something to control him.

There are not many people who meet these two conditions, and Yi Zhongdi is the only one.

So Han Niba has been paying attention to Yi Zhongdi. After several years of tracing, he finally knew Yi Zhongdi's secret and used it to threaten Yi Zhongdi.

After Yi Zhongdi was threatened by Han Niba, he was indeed a little scared at first and wanted to get rid of Han Niba as soon as possible. However, Han Niba had been studying Yi Zhongdi over the years, and Han Niba had already seen through his tricks.

After several actions were resolved by Han Niba, Yi Zhongdi suddenly had a strange idea.

Helping Han Niba find the Yi family's treasure may not be a bad thing, as long as Han Niba can give him a share after finding the treasure.

Therefore, Yi Zhongdi asked Han Niba out, and the two had a conversation between men.

After listening to Yi Zhongdi's request, Han Niba shook his head disdainfully. In his opinion, Yi Zhongdi had been completely controlled by him. As long as Yi Zhongdi did not cooperate, he would announce Yizhongdi's crimes. For his crimes, Yi Zhongdi will definitely be ruined by then.

In this case, Yi Zhongdi was not qualified to negotiate with him at all.

But Yi Zhongdi did not panic, saying that if Han Niba did not agree to give him a share, he would completely ruin it. Even if Han Niba announced everything, he would definitely not be able to get the treasure.

Yi Zhongdi was betting that Han Niba would not see more than ten years of hard work go to waste. If he wanted to find those treasures, he must get Yi Zhongdi's support.

Yi Zhongdi was indeed scheming, and he accurately understood Han Niba's money-grubbing temperament. After hesitating for a long time, Han Niba finally made up his mind to agree to Yi Zhongdi's request after helping two more families build houses. .

Of course, in his opinion, as long as the treasure is found, he has the final say on how to distribute it.

Yi Zhongdi had already prepared a shotgun, which he got from Shuan Zi.

Two people with ulterior motives just walked together.

However, the treasure hunt was more difficult than they imagined. The two of them worked together in Yijiazhuang for more than half a year without finding any clues.

Presumably, the old patriarch of the Yi family fled here to avoid powerful enemies. They were afraid that those enemies would chase them from their hometown, so they were very cautious when choosing the location to hide the treasure.

Otherwise, it might have been so many years without being discovered by others.

The two originally thought about continuing the search, but soon realized a big problem. Because the two often met in Yijiazhuang, they had already aroused criticism from many people.

Especially the village chief Yi Shan, who even asked Yi Haimin to secretly keep an eye on the two of them. So after discussion, the two decided that Han Niba's daughter-in-law would contact Yizhongdi from now on, and then look for the treasures on Han Niba's behalf.

That's why Yi Zhongdi and Han Zhizhi met frequently.

But they didn't realize that they had been discovered.

In the woods, when Yi Zhongchi saw Han Zhizhi mentioning Xu Damao's matter, he knew that Han Zhizhi was giving him a warning to show that his every move was under the surveillance of the other party and he must not play any tricks.

Yi Zhongdi smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I understand my situation very well. Let's get down to business. Where are we going to look for today?"

Seeing that Yi Zhongdi was so understanding and seeing that it was getting late, Han Zhizhi stopped talking to him.

She took out a piece of paper from her trouser pocket. On the paper was a hand-drawn map of Yijiazhuang. The map was marked with dense black dots. Some of the black dots had X's on them, while others did not.

Places marked with an X indicate that they have been explored by several people.

Han Zhizhi pointed to the next black spot without an X and said: "This is the last place drawn based on the place in your memory. It is in the mountain stream ahead. This is our destination today."

After Yi Zhongdi joined Han Niba's treasure hunting plan, he tried his best to collect things passed down by the Han family's ancestors. Although those things were very vague and there were many mistakes, he still found a dozen possible treasures. location.

It's just that those locations were all proven wrong.

Thinking of this, Han Zhizhi said angrily: "Yi Zhongdi, you're not fooling us from the beginning to the end, are you?"

"How can this be possible! Even if it's not for you, but for myself, I have to find a way to find the location of the treasure."

For some reason, Yi Zhongdi was a little afraid of this little wife. This was a feeling that emanated from the bottom of his heart and could not be explained. Just like the little wife in front of me is a poisonous snake.

Yi Zhongdi suppressed the feeling of panic in his heart, stood up and said: "Let's go, it's getting late. When the sun goes down, there will be danger in the mountain."

As he spoke, he picked up his stick and strode forward.

Han Zhizhi looked at him deeply, stood up and followed him.

In the distance, Liu Changyi saw the two people starting to move. Although he couldn't figure out what they were going to do, he called Yi Haimin and Yi Zhenshan to follow them.

But he didn't expect that the two of them would travel so far this time. After walking for half an hour, the two of them had no intention of stopping.

Fortunately, Yi Haimin could continue to hold on, but Yi Zhenshan was already out of breath.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "What the hell are these two guys doing? Even if they want to get together, they don't have to go to such a remote place. If they walk a little further, they will have completely entered the mountain. That place neither belongs to Yijiazhuang nor to Hangou."

"Is there anything to say here?"

Seeing that Liu Changyi didn't understand, Yi Haimin explained: "The mountain in front belongs to Zhangzhuang. Although our three villages are adjacent to each other, our relationship has always been bad, especially in the past few years, in order to compete for the herbs produced on the mountain. Zhang Zhuang fought hard with us.

Therefore, we people in Yijiazhuang rarely go to that mountain on weekdays. If the two of them were met by Zhangzhuang's people, even if Zhangzhuang's people didn't find any actual evidence that they were together, they would be punished severely. "

Hearing this, Liu Changyi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I don't think the two of them have that kind of relationship."

"It's not that kind of relationship? Chief Liu, are you kidding me? Liu Hua saw them hugging each other with her own eyes."

"Liu Hua is far away and may not be able to see clearly."

"That's not right. A man and a woman are meeting quietly in the mountains while hiding from others. Isn't that the kind of relationship they have?" Yi Zhenshan continued.

Liu Changyi said: "This is just my guess. The specific reason why the two met can only be found out by following them."

After saying that, he looked at Yi Haimin: "Haimin, you have to be ready for battle later."

Although Yi Haimin couldn't figure it out, he still nodded.

The few people discussed for a while. At this time, Yi Zhongdi and Han Zhizhi were about to walk out of a safe distance, and the few people quickly quickened their pace to keep up.

The mountain road was steep, and Yi Zhongdi was a little tired at this time. He stopped on the mountain road with a cane, looked at Han Zhizhi in front of him and said, "Mason's family, wait a minute, I have to rest for a while."

"You have no strength after just walking such a distance. You are really bad." Han Zhizhi stopped and curled his lips disdainfully at Yi Zhongdi.

The look of contempt was unmistakable.

Yi Zhongdi wasn't angry either. He smiled and said, "That's right. I'm definitely not as strong as your bricklayer at this age."

"You" Han Zhizhi didn't expect Yi Zhongdi to act like a hooligan, but he made a big blush.

This was the first time that Yi Zhongdi took advantage of Han Zhizhi. He immediately became energetic, knelt down to rest next to him, and said: "Han Zhizhi, you are considered a famous and talented woman within a hundred miles of us. How could you marry Han Zhizhi?" Where's the mud mason!

It is true that plasterers earn a lot of money, but after all, they cannot get on the stage. "

"It's none of your business?!" Han Zhizhi glared at Yi Zhongdi fiercely, but felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

When she mentioned this matter, she felt aggrieved.

Even though Han Zhizhi is a country girl, she lived in the city with a distant cousin for a while when she was young.

She had seen the prosperity of the city, and after returning to the countryside, she dreamed of returning to the city one day.

However, without the city's food capital and the city's household registration, it would be extremely difficult for a countryman to enter the city.

In addition, Han Zhizhi is also the kind of lazy person who doesn't want to get the qualification to enter the city through his own efforts.

At this moment, Han Niba broke into her sight.

Although Han Niba is a bricklayer, he has mastered a large amount of treasure. As long as he finds the treasure, isn't it easy to enter the city?

In this era, money is not everything, but money can do many things.
