Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 46
The fact that Gao Guobing brought people to the village to arrest the tomb robbers became the latest topic of conversation in the village. Some people clearly knew little about the matter, but they said it as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

In the evening, the village became more and more lively. People gathered in small groups and talked together. Among these topics, there was the matter of Gao Guobing's arrest of the tomb robber.

Of course, Gao Mingcheng will also be mentioned.It is said that Gao Mingcheng discovered that the tomb robbers had entered the mountain to rob the tomb, and then ran to the county town to tell Gao Guobing, and Gao Guobing brought people to arrest him.

"Speaking of ancient tombs, there used to be many ancient tombs in our village! During the period of the Republic of China, warlords dug up several ancient tombs in our village! Oh, those ancient tombs are mostly from the Ming Dynasty, and some are from the Song Dynasty , I heard that there are a lot of porcelain in it, and the porcelain is not like the rough porcelain bowl we use, it is beautiful!"

"If you hold the porcelain and look at the sun, it will be transparent! There are patterns of flowers and birds on it, so beautiful!"

Under the big camphor tree in the center of the village, an old man in his 90s was sitting on a low stool, talking about ancient times with the people around him.

There were quite a few people around him, including several children in their early teens, all of whom were sitting on the nearby rocks, urging the old man to tell stories quickly.

For children, it is also very interesting to listen to stories told by elders in an age when entertainment is scarce.

The old man smiled with a good temper, and continued: "You all know Wang Anshi, right? He is from our place! Of course, he is from Linchuan District, and we are still 45 kilometers away, but our little There is also a descendant of Wang Anshi in Wang Village, and I know that their family tree has just been compiled a few years ago."

"How powerful this Wang Anshi is! I don't need to say more? This Linchuan is known as the hometown of talented scholars. Since the Song Dynasty, how many high-ranking officials and nobles have been born here!"

"Don't say anything else, let's just say that our Gaojia Village, the ancestors of Gaojia Village, were also Jinshi!"

"40 years ago, our village was not what it is now! At that time, the buildings in our village were magnificent! The eaves of every household were connected together. Rain! Water channels have been built in the courtyards of every household. After the rainwater gathers, it flows directly from the water channels to the pond at the entrance of the village. No matter how heavy the rain is, the village will be dry!"

"Oh, it's comfortable to live in that house!" The old man's eyes were half-closed, his expression full of memories and reluctance.

Gaojia Village had a Jinshi a long time ago, and he was also a squire with a lot of voice in the local area. The ancestral house in this village was naturally well repaired.

Although it is located in the mountains and the transportation is inconvenient, the ancients would not abandon the old house easily. Even if it is prosperous, the old house will still be repaired very well.

Because in ancient times, no matter how great an official you were, you had to retire and return to your hometown in the end, and you were not allowed to stay in places like the capital.

The old house is the root of a family, and the fertile land near the old house is basically owned by this family.

"Grandpa, why is that house gone? I want to live in that kind of house too!" A boy in his early ten years old said loudly, which aroused the approval of other children.

"Yeah, we want to live in that kind of house too!"

"Oh, this is a long story! 40 years ago, the world was in chaos. The son of the landlord's family in the opposite village was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy and became an official! In our village, there were several Red Army soldiers, but at that time our village The Red Army doesn’t go home all year round, they are fighting outside.”

"Later the Red Army was about to win. When the son of the landlord's family got the news, he was so frightened that he ran away with his parents, wife and children. They ran away in such a hurry that they left behind all the food, cattle, chickens, ducks and pigs in the family."

"At that time, life in the village was difficult, so someone simply ran to the landlord's house and robbed all their belongings."

"However, not long after, the Kuomintang came back again! It turned out that the Red Army team just passed by us and left soon! This is a disaster. After the Kuomintang came back, they saw that all their belongings had been robbed. , Is this okay? So he pulled a few men, armed with guns and kerosene, and burned all the houses in our village to the ground!"

"After doing this, he also knew that he couldn't stay here anymore, so he ran to Taiwan not long after. Hey, it's a pity that the houses in our village are gone! Fortunately, it was not winter at that time, otherwise many people would freeze to death people."

When the old man talked about this past, he couldn't help but sigh.

Most of the people present have not experienced that difficult period.

But he is 92 years old!

He was born in the Republic of China and has witnessed too much.

Children in their teens didn't know the situation back then, but those in their 50s and [-]s still had an impression of this incident, so the atmosphere became depressed.

Finally, a 50-year-old uncle said: "Grandpa, don't talk about this, talk about ancient tombs!"

"Yes, talk about ancient tombs!"

The 92-year-old man seems to have been reminded, he was going to talk about the ancient tomb, why did he say something wrong?
So he sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "During the Song and Ming dynasties, there were many officials and businessmen here, and when they died, they would naturally be buried in the nearby green hills. In ancient times, burying the dead was not as casual as we are now, it would require a lot of funerary objects!"

"At the time of the Republic of China, the warlords were going to war. What should we do if we ran out of money? Tomb robbing! You can make a lot of money by robbing a tomb! At that time, let alone our village, it was our county, the county next door to us. , as long as there are famous ancient tombs, they are all stolen!"

"Oh, I thought that all the ancient tombs were stolen at that time, but I didn't expect that there are still in this mountain! They even attracted tomb robbers!"

"Fortunately, the tomb robber was discovered by Mingcheng, and the national soldiers were called in time to catch him, otherwise the things in our village would have been stolen for nothing!"

The 92-year-old man sighed with emotion, with a trace of joy in his tone.

For the people in the village, the ancient tomb is also their village's property and cannot be stolen by others.

Of course, this is just a spiritual belonging, but no one dares to actually take out the things in the ancient tomb. Let alone whether it is harmful or not, the main reason is that it breaks the law!
After listening to the story, the adults were sighing with emotion, only the children could not fully understand this emotion.

A child asked curiously: "What is the ancient tomb like? Are the funerary objects placed next to the corpse? Or where?"

As soon as he said this, he was hit on the head by the adults around him: "What nonsense! This is not something you should know, go away! Go home and eat!"

As a result, several children were driven away.

They didn't get an answer from the adults, but they didn't give up. They got together and whispered together: "Isn't there an ancient tomb that has been dug in half in this mountain? How about we go to the mountain to have a look?"

The proposed child was the most naughty child in the village. His eyes were shining brightly, and it seemed that he was too clever.

　This story is true. I heard it from my elders. In addition, the Gan style architecture is also very distinctive!
