Chapter 123 The Emperor and Empress
"What do you want?" The patriarch understood that Xi Rong came prepared this time, he was in a passive position and could only consider Xi Rong's conditions.

"I heard that Tang Gumeng will be punished for entering the mountain this time," Xi Rong changed the subject.

Xi Rong was recruited by Tang Gumeng, and Tang Gumeng led him to the back mountain. The patriarch had nothing to do with Xi Rong, but Tang Gumeng still didn't pay attention to him.

Originally, he wanted to send away Xi Rong, the god of plague, and then slowly settle the score, but when Xi Rong brought it up like this, he could only blur it out: "The words are not so deadly."

"That means there will be punishment!"

The patriarch finally chose to take a step back: "For your sake, I can let this matter go."

Xi Rong smiled: "It's not because of my face, but thanks to Tang Gumeng's righteous deed, which saved your entire village from perishing."

"how do I say this?"

Xi Rong said slowly: "You have lived in the village for a long time, and some things may not be clear. The development momentum in the south is strong, and the economy will be greatly improved in the future. This small village of yours will disappear in history one day because the villagers leave their homes."

"Do you think you keep the secrets of the village well? That ancient tomb has been touched by tomb robbers long ago. On the back of this mountain, on the other side of Hejiazhuang, the mountain was opened with a big hole. All the funerary objects have already crossed the ocean and gone abroad."

"Impossible," the patriarch said firmly, "This mountain is so big, this one was chosen because of its solid geology. Even if a grave is dug, it won't have any impact."

"It's different at Hejiazhuang. If you really want to dig it in, it will definitely collapse. Those people don't want to take anything from it. Even if there are a few pieces, they are just some defective products, just to deceive people's eyes and ears. .”

When the patriarch said this, Xi Rong understood that it was written in the grandfather's handwriting that those porcelain and gold wares were definitely older, but the quality was far from the high-quality requirements. Therefore, it is inferred that the identity of the owner of the tomb is not high. Thinking about it now, it was all wrong.

"The technology is so advanced now that tunnels can be passed through the mountains. It is not difficult to dig a mountain. You have guarded this place for so long, and you don't want to end up as an empty shell." Xi Rong asked with raised eyebrows.

"Proactively report. I have checked a lot of information before. The dynasty where the owner of the tomb lived has been brought up in a few strokes in history, and there are almost no relevant research materials. If this place can be reported to the country, although it is still unavoidable Unearthed, disturbing the peace of the ancestors, but it can still be placed in the museum before, as a reminder for you. When others mention it in the future, there will be such an era. Instead of gradually disappearing."

The old patriarch closed his eyes, thinking quietly.

Xi Rong added to the fire: "Large ancient tombs like this kind of well-protected ones are generally not relocated. If a museum can be built on the top of the mountain in the future, it will definitely drive the tourism here. The flow of people is large, and the money-making There are more opportunities, and more and more people are staying in the village. It is also a good thing.”

"As an ancestor, I think what I hope most is not to enjoy the false prosperity after death, but also to be able to survive for generations to come, and the fame will always remain. What do you think?"

The patriarch opened his eyes: "What procedures do I need to go through if I report it?"

The patriarch agreed too quickly, and Xi Rong almost didn't react: "I will contact the relevant person in charge, and you can just introduce the situation of the ancient tomb."

"Then I'm counting on you," the patriarch thanked and saw off the guests.

Because of entering the mountain, Fang Qiuhua no longer had the friendly filter for Xi Rong, leaving Xi Rong with a cold face.

Xi Rong also knew that he had done something wrong, so he took the initiative to take a step back and never disturb Tang Gumeng's family.

Leaving from the patriarch's house, Xi Rong didn't see Fang Qiuhua when he returned home, only Tang Gumeng was at home.

"Are you feeling better?" Tang Gumeng started to flip through his textbooks in a panic these two days.

Although according to the current physical condition, the last time I read a book was a year ago, but according to my memory, this knowledge is decades old. Most of what I have learned is returned to the teacher, and everything needs to be restarted from scratch.

Tang Gumeng closed the book, looked up and said, "It's better, didn't you go out? Why did you come back so soon?"

Xi Rong looked at Tang Guyeng's wrapped feet, the exposed part was still a little swollen.

"You were seriously injured this time. You have been injured for a hundred days, and you still need to take good care of it."

Tang Gumeng replied: "My mother won't let me go to the ground, I'm going to get moldy lying down."

"Auntie is also for your own good." Xi Rong talked about his reason for coming this time: "At first, I just gave you some materials, but I didn't expect to stay for such a long time, and it caused a lot of trouble for your family."

"I've asked the patriarch about the matter in the mountains, and it's nothing to do with it. He promised not to take his anger out on you, so you can take care of it with peace of mind."

"In addition, the patriarch also agreed. He will truthfully report what happened in Houshan. I plan to go back to the city and contact my grandfather's former colleagues, and take them to accept the situation here."

Tang Gumeng didn't expect Xi Rong to leave so soon: "Will you come back after you leave this time?"

"If there is a chance, I will follow the archaeological team to take a look, but after reporting, these are all national affairs, and I have no jurisdiction over them, so I won't spend too much energy on them."

"Oh, yes," Tang Gumeng responded in a low voice, but he didn't notice that there was a trace of unwillingness in her tone.

"I see you are reading, are you planning to take this year's high school entrance examination?" Xi Rong asked.

"I still need to read books, but not now. There are too many things on hand now, and I don't have the energy to take care of them at the same time."

Tang Gumeng had given himself two years to start his own business, so he was not in a hurry.

"Well, if necessary, I can help you arrange the school. High school courses are more difficult. You still need to put aside what you are doing and set aside time to study."

"Um"

……

On the second day after Xi Rong left, a notice came out from the big speakers in the village, asking everyone to go to the village committee to gather, and no one was missing.

Supported by Fang Qiuhua, Tang Gumeng hopped to the village committee compound.

Originally, there were no secrets in the village, not to mention what happened that day alarmed many people in the village.

Seeing Tang Gumeng appear, those people began to inquire about it intentionally or unintentionally.

"Has the man who lives in your house left?"

"Ah."

"When is the matter between your Gu Meng and that person going to be settled?"

"The man's family conditions should be good. If he just left, will he never come back again?"

Tang Gumeng's face was full of black lines, and he couldn't help explaining: "Aunts, you think too much, we are friends, and we haven't reached the point of discussing marriage, so you don't need to worry about it."

Liu Aihua sneered: "The lonely man and widow stayed all night, and they still said they were friends. People are doing it, and the sky is watching. Doesn't your conscience hurt when you speak like this, and aren't you afraid that the sky will strike you?"

Tang Gumeng looked at Liu Aihua and said, "Aunt Liu, you are not in the right mind, but don't think of everyone badly. According to you, as long as lonely men and widows stay together, there will be problems. Then your Tang Youjun will look for opportunities to get along with you every day." Do the little girls have some bad intentions when they are alone?"

Liu Aihua replied: "Can it be the same? My allies are men, and men are normal."

Tang Gumeng smiled and said: "What's wrong with the man, he is still a human being after all, what else can he think about?"

After finishing speaking, Tang Gumeng turned around and looked at the women around him: "Aunts, you have to look at the girls in your family, in case Tang Youjun cheated out of her, and when someone pressured her head to admit the relationship, if Tang Youjun didn't approve, she would be fine. Trouble, after all, he is a man!"

Tang Gumeng's words blocked Tang Youjun's idea of ​​looking for a partner in the village, and Liu Ai almost gnawed his silver teeth in a rage.

"You wait for me, I have to make you look good", leaving a cruel sentence, Liu Aihua turned her head and left.

Tang Gumeng watched Liu Aihua leave, and then said: "All of you have sons and daughters in your family, and you should consider your children when you do things. Don't be provoked by others. Whatever others say is what they say."

After speaking, he jumped to the side of the big rock and sat down.

Without Tang Gumeng as the master, a group of people gathered together and continued to chatter.

It was different from usual, today there was no village committee member on the front seat, only the head of the village, with his eyes closed and his chin resting on the head of his walking stick, quietly waiting for the villagers to arrive.

When everyone was together, the patriarch slowly opened his eyes and opened his mouth and said, "Everyone is here."

"Is the patriarch doing anything today?"

"Well," the patriarch's voice dropped two points: "The older people in the village should know that the ancestral hall in the village is built in the mountain. Because of the tiger in the back mountain, I haven't been there for many years."

"I've checked with the master. Tomorrow is a good day to worship the ancestors. When the time comes, all the men in your family will go to the mountain."

It was a little strange that the patriarch suddenly mentioned this matter, but it was a matter in the village, and no one had any objections.

After the patriarch informed the news, he began to direct the women to prepare tributes for the ancestor worship tomorrow.

As soon as the patriarch's words fell, Liu Aihua stood up: "Patriarch, didn't you say that you can't easily enter the back mountain? I remember that Ruifeng from the Hongwei family was taken to the family law for breaking into the mountain pass. Tang Gumeng also went Houshan, why didn't you say anything?"

The patriarch replied: "Tang Gumeng's affairs are different. As for why there is no punishment, you will naturally understand later."

That incident, Tang Ruifeng has always regarded it as a stain on his life.Because of this, I hated the patriarch, and now I couldn't help hearing what the patriarch said, and said: "Patriarch, you are wrong about this matter. You used to say that the family has family laws, and the clan has clan rules. Tang Gumeng's If you don’t talk about the matter, did you take money from Tang Gumeng’s family?”

"The man from Tang Gumeng's family stayed with you for a long time before, did he do you any good?"

Tang Hongwei let Tang Ruifeng finish speaking, and then slapped him on the shoulder, "What are you talking about! The patriarch serves the villagers wholeheartedly. How can you say that about the patriarch? Where are you going to put his old man's face? "

After finishing speaking, he looked at the patriarch with a smile on his face and said: "Patriarch, the child in the family is ignorant and doesn't speak well, which makes you angry. I will teach him a good lesson when I go back, so I won't bother you."

The patriarch looked serious, and asked in a calm voice: "Tang Hongwei, this is not the child's idea, it is your idea, do you have any opinions on me?"

"How dare I?" Tang Hongwei said, but the expression on his face was not convinced at all.

"There are some things that I originally planned to wait until the opening of the ancestral hall. Since you have such big opinions now, I will say it in advance." The patriarch sighed and looked sharply at the restless people.

"Thousands of people from our Sanliwan village have come here to settle down. Over the years, no matter how many times there have been floods or droughts, we will always keep a tribe in this place to preserve our blood."

"Our Sanliwan ancestral hall is different from other villages. It is not in the village, but in the mountains, because the ancestors of our Sanli Village are buried there."

"We are the direct descendants of Emperor Xuanming of Dagan, and the tomb of Emperor Xuanming is in the mountain."

The patriarch's voice fell, and the village was in an uproar.

"really?"

"Are we royals too?"

"How many years have the Qing Dynasty been dead, and you are still a member of the royal family, you want to eat farts."

"I heard that when the emperor died, many good things were buried with him. Are they all buried in the back mountain?"

"should be."

"Then let's dig it out and sell it, will we be able to live a good life?"

"You dare to touch the things of the dead, you are not afraid of retribution!"

"What kind of retribution, the things of the ancestors are the things of the children and grandchildren, it's okay to take your own things!"

"That's right. You said that people were going to starve to death back then. Why didn't anyone think of these things?"

"Probably don't know."

"Why did the patriarch say that now?"

"Will it have something to do with Tang Gumeng?"

The patriarch could almost hear what the villagers said, and there was water in his old eyes.

With the change of the times, the emperor has long lost the deterrent power he had before. To be honest, even I don’t have much respect for this ancestor, but I just took the position of the patriarch, and it is the patriarch’s duty to maintain the dignity of the ancestors. .

"Patriarch, since there are good things in the mountains, we should sell them and subsidize everyone."

"Patriarch, do you want to dig those treasures when you go to the ancestral hall tomorrow?"

"Really? Patriarch, don't look at us as women, our ability to work is no worse than that of men, we can also go in and help."

"I can too."

The patriarch stretched out his hand, pressed it horizontally, and signaled people to be quiet: "Don't say it belongs to the ancestors, it is someone else's cemetery. If you take the things of the dead, aren't you afraid that someone will come to your door at night?"

"Stop all your thoughts. I have already promised to hand over the things in Houshan to the country. Let me put it here. Anyone who dares to make up with those things in Houshan will be kicked out of this village."
