Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Driven by the big goal of entering the city, Han Zhizhi gave up several excellent partners and chose to marry Han Niba.

She originally thought that Han Niba would be able to find the treasure quickly, and then she would be able to enter the city smoothly and live a good life.

Who would have thought that after seven or eight years of marriage, Han Niba had spent a lot of effort but achieved nothing.

Han Zhizhi felt trapped.

And this treasure hunt is her best hope to get out of trouble.

Therefore, although Han Zhizhi was harassed by Yi Zhongdi with words, he did not share his common knowledge and followed him to the mountain stream.

"According to the old lame man in our village, his ancestors came here with the old patriarch." After Yi Zhong finished speaking, seeing that Han Zhizhi was a little confused, he quickly introduced: "The old patriarch's branch actually came earlier. It was discontinued, and all the people named Yi in the village were from neighboring families.

The old cripple is the person closest to the old patriarch's house. His grandfather is the old patriarch's third son, so the old cripple knows a lot of things that we distant relatives don't know. "

Han Zhizhi was a little tired at this time, and since he had arrived at his destination, he decided to take a rest and then work hard to find the treasure.

She found a stone and sat down, rubbing her ankles and saying: "Yi Zhongdi, there seems to be something wrong with what you just said. Your old patriarch is the ancestor of your entire clan. In the next long time, his descendants will all Holding the position of clan leader, it stands to reason that even if there is a famine and the whole clan has nothing to eat, the clan leader's family will not go hungry.

Why didn't the patriarch's family survive, but you, the side branch, survived? "

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai laughed twice, took out his cigarette stick, struck a match and lit it, and took two deep puffs, with a satisfied look on his face.

"You don't know something about this. The original old patriarch was really powerful. We, the Yi family, all had to listen to him. From weddings and funerals to the distribution of a piece of sweet potato, we had to obey the old patriarch for everything. But in days like this After a long time, everyone in the Yi family felt dissatisfied. They felt that they were not like villagers, but like servants in the old patriarch's family.

As a result, there were endless voices of opposition to the old patriarch in the clan. At the beginning, the old patriarch was indeed able to suppress all the objections with his iron and blood tactics. However, after the old patriarch's descendants took over the position of the patriarch, there was no such thing as the patriarch's. wrist.

In the end, the conflict broke out when the fifth generation patriarch was the leader.

The fifth-generation patriarch of the Yi family is named Yi Bai. The reason why I remember this name is because I feel that he is simply ridiculous. Yi Bai is not an incompetent person. On the contrary, the previous generations of the Yi family patriarchs because of With limited abilities, he has loosened his control over the Yi family.

The Yi family will only report important matters to the head of the Yi family.

But after Yi Bai took over from his father and became the new patriarch, he felt that the previous system should be restored, so he began to use his power to restrict the villagers in the village.

Where there is oppression, there will be resistance. Yi Bai's actions soon aroused dissatisfaction among the villagers of Yijiazhuang. However, the patriarch's prestige was still very high at that time. The villagers did not dare to confront him openly and could only endure it. down.

The villagers' concession made Yi Bai even more excited. He felt that it wouldn't be long before he would become the real head of the Yi family.

It happened to be a severe drought that year, and the production of thousands of acres of land in Yijiazhuang was reduced. According to the previous rules, the villagers had to hand over one-tenth of the harvest to the clan leader every year. On the one hand, it was used to worship their ancestors, and on the other hand, it was used to Come in case of emergency.

Now that there is a disaster, Yi Bai, as the clan leader, should take out the grain stored in the warehouse to help the villagers.

But Yi Bai found that this was a good way to control the villagers.

He only distributed food to villagers who were usually obedient, and turned a blind eye to those villagers who were usually dissatisfied with him.

This approach aroused the anger of the villagers.

But even so, in this place where ancestral rules are greater than heaven, the villagers of Yijiazhuang still endured.

Among them was a villager named Yi Chen.

Yi Chen is the most active person who opposes Yi Bai. In his opinion, Yi Bai's existence is no different from that of the big landowners in the surrounding villages.

However, the land in Yijiazhuang was cultivated by the family and did not belong to Yi Bai alone, so Yi Bai's approach was to squeeze them.

Yi Chen is very prestigious in Yijiazhuang and is surrounded by a group of brothers, so he can persevere even if he does not receive relief food.

Seeing Yi Chen still alive and kicking, Yi Bai felt so angry that he wanted to eat Yi Chen alive.

But even for a clan leader, if he wants to deal with the villagers, there may be a suitable reason.

Yi Chen, on the other hand, seems to be very disciplined on weekdays and doesn't show any signs of weakness at all.

If it continues like this, Yi Bai will not be in danger because he holds the power of the clan leader, but he decided to use some unscrupulous means to deal with Yi Chen.

There was a little widow in Yijiazhuang. Of course, the name of the little widow was not passed down, but everyone knew that the little widow was very beautiful and she was Yi Bai's mistress.

Yi Bai asked the young widow to seduce Yi Chen at the cost of two bags of grain.

In that era, two bags of grain could be exchanged for a young lady. It was not a good idea for the little widow to be with Yi Bai, so she agreed immediately.

But what the little widow didn't expect was that the tricks she used to deal with men had no effect on Yi Chen.

Yi Chen even didn't even look at her seriously.

The seduction plan failed. If Yi Bai stopped at this time, it would not cause any trouble later.

But he already regarded Yi Chen as a thorn in his side. If he didn't get rid of Yi Chen, he would have trouble sleeping and eating.

So Yi Bai came up with what later generations called the Immortal Dance. He asked the little widow to get Yi Chen drunk, and then tucked Yi Chen into the bed, while he took the Yi family members to catch him.

The husband of the young widow is also from the Yi family. Yi Chen is a brother who is fighting against each other, which is a serious crime according to the family covenant.

As long as Yi Chen is caught on the spot, he will be free to do whatever he wants.

The little widow was also a brainless person. She didn't realize the danger of this plan at all, so she agreed at that time.

That night, she brought a large jar of wine and found Yi Chen.

Yi Chen was originally puzzled by the little widow's enthusiasm these days, but when he saw the jar of wine, he instantly became vigilant.

There are also people in Yijiazhuang who specialize in making wine, such as those at the west end of the village, but the wine they make is rice wine, which is only used to relieve fatigue in hot weather. But the jar of wine that the little widow brought was authentic shochu, which was very strong and could make people intoxicated. One jar of this kind of wine could cover two or three acres of crops, and no ordinary person could afford it.

There are indeed people in Yijiazhuang who can afford it, and that is the old patriarch’s family. After all, they can get one-tenth of what the villagers produce every year. There are more than a thousand households in Yijiazhuang, and the amount they pay every year is enough. Let the patriarch and his family live like big landowners.

So Yi Chen instantly realized the weirdness, and instead of being fooled, he captured the little widow and learned the whole story from the little widow.

After figuring out the truth of the matter, Yi Chen was not in a hurry, nor did he go to Yi Bai to reason. He pretended not to know and asked the little widow to notify Yi Bai to come and catch him.

The little widow was afraid that Yi Chen would chop off her head, so she could only do as he said.

Yi Chen was overjoyed when he received the news, thinking that he could take down Yi Bai with this incident.

He impatiently led people to rush into Yi Chen's house, but was controlled by Yi Chen, who had been waiting for a long time. Then Yi Chen took the opportunity to tell Yi Bai and the little widow's conspiracy.

The villagers of Yijiazhuang were already dissatisfied with Yi Bai, and Yi Chen himself had a high prestige among the villagers. This time Yi Bai used such despicable means.

Therefore, the emotions of the villagers were completely detonated. Yi Chen shouted loudly, and the villagers swarmed up and beat Yi Bai violently.

It seems that Yi Bai's loss is not big, he just received a beating, but this symbolizes the destruction of the patriarch's authority.

The patriarch of the Yi family has always been in a superior position since he came here. On weekdays, not to mention beating the patriarch, even when talking to the patriarch, he would be reprimanded for being slightly disrespectful.

When Yi Bai was lying on the ground, he finally realized his mistake, but it was too late.

Yi Chen took this opportunity to call on the villagers to stop listening to the clan leader and stop giving the food they had worked so hard to harvest to the clan leader.

The villagers had long felt that the patriarch was a parasite, and they raised their hands in approval.

From then on, Yi Bai, the clan leader, only had the title of clan leader, no real status of clan leader, and was no different from ordinary villagers.

If it were just like this, the patriarch of the Yi family would be able to survive. After all, although Yijiazhuang is not a geomantic treasure, it can still support people and is far away from war.

But strange things happened. One after another, Yi Bai's descendants had accidents. The eldest son was hit in the waist by an angry bull while plowing the fields. He lay moaning in bed for two days and died.

The second son went down to the river to fish, but somehow he sank to the bottom of the river and never came up again. You must know that it was the dry season at that time, the river was not deep at all, and many children could swim in the river.

Two things happened one after another, which made the third son feel that something was wrong. He packed his bags and prepared to go to the county town to find a way out. However, when he was crossing the mountain, he was suddenly hit by a stone falling from the mountain. When he went up the mountain to hunt, When the hunter found him, most of his body was missing, and he didn't know what kind of beast had eaten him.

The most painful thing in the world is the middle-aged throat. The continuous blows overwhelmed Yi Bai. Not long after, he hanged himself from a locust tree at the entrance of the village.

Since then, the clan leader's line has completely disappeared from the village, and only some side branches have survived. "

After Yi Zhongdi finished speaking, Han Zhizhi thought for a moment, frowned and said, "How do I feel that the murder of Yi Bai's sons was because someone was behind it?"

"Hahaha, not only you think so, but many villagers also guessed so. Everyone thinks it was Yi Chen who did it. After all, although Yi Bai has no prestige, he still occupies the position of clan leader. If his descendants continue to multiply If he goes down, he might one day ride on the heads of the villagers again. Then the first person they have to deal with is Yi Chen.

The best way to prevent this from happening is to eliminate the root cause.

But firstly, Yi Chen was very cautious in doing things, and several accidents did not leave any flaws. Secondly, the big guys were not willing to let the Yi family pass on, so no one accused Yi Chen. "

"This Yi Chen is quite a character. What happened to him later?" Han Zhizhi suddenly asked curiously: "Such a powerful person will definitely become the village chief of Yijiazhuang in the future, right?"

"Oh, this world is so wonderful. Everyone thinks that after Yi Bai's death, Yi Chen will definitely rise up in the village and become a patriarch-like existence. Even Yi Chen's little brothers think so, and they begin to There was talk in the village, asking everyone to vote for Yi Chen when choosing the village chief.

At that time, Yi Chen was the only candidate and it was a sure thing to become the village chief.

But just the day before the election, Yi Chen went hunting in the mountains and suddenly stepped on the ground and fell under the cliff. When the villagers found him under the cliff, he had no breath. "

Han Zhizhi was stunned when he heard that such a powerful person died just like this because of an accident.

"This is really not as good as God's calculation!"

"Okay, you've rested now, let's get started quickly."

For some reason, Yi Zhongdi always felt that something was wrong, and felt inexplicably panicked, as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him secretly, but every time Yi Zhongdi looked around, he didn't see anything unusual.

He decided to explore the last treasure location quickly so that he could feel at ease.

Han Zhizhi also came to rest at this time. He took out the shovel he had prepared and followed Yi Zhongdi towards the crevice in the mountain ahead.

From a distance, Yi Zhenshan felt strange when he saw the two of them acting like this.

"Section Chief, what is going on? They don't seem to be trying to break shoes, but they look like treasure hunters."

"Treasure hunting?"

Liu Changyi felt a little strange that a villager in Yi Zhenshan could say such foreign words, "Zhenshan, do you know what treasure hunting is?"

"Of course I know." Yi Zhenshan chuckled and said: "There is a legend in our Yijiazhuang. The old patriarch of the Yi family came here with a large amount of treasures hundreds of years ago. Settled in Yijiazhuang After that, the old patriarch buried the treasure in a secret place.

But later the line of clan leaders was cut off, and the location of the treasure became a legend.

For so many years, all the Yi family members have been looking for those treasures. It is said that there are many treasures. Once found, they can live a good life without worrying about food and drink. "

When Liu Changyi heard this, he frowned slightly: "So, the two of them are not having an affair, but are looking for treasures."

The emergence of this idea instantly solved Liu Changyi's doubts along the way.

No matter how hungry Han Zhizhi was, he would not choose the old man Yi Zhongdi.
