When we came down from the mountain, it was already evening, and the setting sun was shining down from the mountains behind, shining on the tomb.
Even if you look at it with the naked eye, you can still see the vitality lingering above the tomb. This vitality seems to be getting stronger and stronger.
If this situation continues, even if the tomb is not moved in the end, the things in the tomb will come out of their own accord.
When the time comes, the Jiang family will still play with eggs.
"Mr. Li, how are you doing?"
Jiang Yang saw us coming down and quickly stepped forward to ask me.
"It's very troublesome, let's go back first and talk about it later."
I shook my head and frowned.
When Jiang Yang heard this, his face became heavy, but he didn't ask any more questions.
"By the way, the owner of this tomb should be your old man from the Jiang family, right?"
I suddenly remembered this and asked in passing.
"right."
Jiang Yang nodded and said, "It's my grandfather. When he was buried in this hole, I was still young and didn't know much about it."
I nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
It seems that we need to find out the situation from Mr. Jiang’s family.
The car drove all the way back to the Jiang family's villa. It was almost dark by now. The Jiang family had already prepared a dinner. I wonder if they were entertaining me specially, or if rich people like them have always been so extravagant? All in all the dinner was quite sumptuous.
There are quite a few direct descendants of the Jiang family. There are four brothers in Jiang Yang's generation alone, and there are seven or eight younger generations in Jiang Yuting's generation. They are definitely prosperous.
Although there were many people at the dinner table, it was obvious that the Jiang family had a very strict family tradition. The old man did not move his chopsticks, and no one else dared to pick up the food first.
Moreover, the table was completely silent during the meal, no one spoke at all.
The ancients believed in eating without speaking and sleeping without speaking, which means not speaking when eating or sleeping. This is considered a kind of etiquette and a kind of respect for food by the ancients.
People at that time believed that food was a gift from God to all living beings, so they remained silent while eating to show respect for God.
Later, it gradually developed into a kind of etiquette, which can also be said to be polite. Especially in the era when literature was flourishing in the Song Dynasty, everyone paid attention to appearance, etiquette and posture, and respected literati. Therefore, the behavior at the dinner table was particularly important.
However, in today's era, no one cares about this kind of etiquette. I didn't expect that the Jiang family still upholds such a family tradition, which really surprised me.
From this, we can also see that the Jiang family's old man's status in the family is almost unparalleled. Even a girl like Jiang Yuting, the daughter of a wealthy family, with a particularly obvious temper, behaves like a good girl in front of the Jiang family's old man.
After dinner, the family dispersed quickly, and I chatted with the old man of the Jiang family for a while in the living room, because I still had to talk to him about the ancestral tomb of the old man of the Jiang family.
"Little brother, since you have seen the ancestral graves, let's make an offer."
The old man of the Jiang family was sitting behind the tea table, making tea and saying absentmindedly.
"I'm afraid it's not about money now."
I shook my head, then frowned slightly and said: "Although the gentleman who did the acupuncture did give your Jiang family a good acupuncture point and brought your family to where it is today, thirty years later, he also gave him You have a problem."
"That's your problem."
The old man of the Jiang family handed over a cup of tea and said with a smile.
"good."
I nodded and said, "But only if I want to make money."
"That's why I asked you to make an offer. Whatever you think is appropriate, then take it."
The old man's psychological expectations seem to be very high. I can feel that it is definitely not more than 300,000.
But the key is, am I able to earn this money?
"I'm afraid I still have to find out what happened back then."
I lit a cigarette, frowned and said, "For example, the gentleman who tapped the acupuncture points, what is his relationship with your Jiang family? And for what purpose did he tap this acupuncture point for your family? And he told you that for thirty years What are the consequences you will face in the end?"
The old man of the Jiang family took a sip of tea and said calmly: "That man is a wandering gentleman. He traveled to Yong'an County and lived in my Jiang family for some time. When he tapped this acupoint, he was very close to me. As I said, I am very aware of the current situation."
"So, this was your original choice?"
I looked at each other with interest.
This old man is really courageous. He has made it clear that he has powerful connections, but he still dares to use this hole? It seemed like he was ready to give it a go.
No, if you give it a try, the bicycle will really turn into a sports car. I think the Jiang family was not a wealthy family at that time.
If the Jiang family already had a good family business at that time, they would definitely not take such a risk.
"Our family ran a mill at that time, and we were barely able to live by it. Unfortunately, my father was ill at that time, and we didn't have much time to live. The little savings we had at home were all used up for medical treatment, so I took the risk and chose to use that medicine. Acupoints can at least lead a good life for thirty years. How many thirty years can a person have in a lifetime?"
The old man said and chuckled.
"Then haven't you ever thought that these thirty years of wealth will require future generations to bear disasters?"
I looked at the old man in disbelief, feeling that his thoughts were not ordinary selfish.
"How can I take care of so much when my children and grandchildren are blessed? Besides, I have worked hard all my life to earn all these family properties. I am worthy of them by leaving these to them. I don't want to be like my father and live in poverty all my life. After working hard for most of my life, I couldn’t even afford a coffin board in the end.”
The old man narrowed his eyes and said.
When he said these words, I noticed that there was a fierce look in his eyes. This old man must have been a cruel person when he was young.
Although it is natural for the Jiang family to reach this point due to the blessings of that treasure hole, it is impossible for a poor family to climb to the position of the richest man in Yong'an County without a little bit of ruthlessness. .
As the old saying goes, a man won't get rich without a windfall, and a horse won't get fat unless it eats night grass. This certainly makes sense. For many successful people who have climbed to great heights, their first pot of gold often comes from a less serious source.
The means involved are naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Especially with the current status of the Jiang family, I think their so-called family property may not necessarily be so clean.
"Anyway, we've come this far. This grave will definitely have to be moved."
The old man took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"In this case, I can move this tomb, but I have to say it first. The tomb has a constant flow of life. The dead are nourished by the life, and the body is immortal. Now thirty years have passed, I am afraid it has become an evil thing. By then If I can't hold it back, or someone from your Jiang family dies because of this, then I won't be responsible."
I pondered for a moment and said with a solemn expression.
In fact, the result is the same regardless of whether this thing is moved or not. It's just a matter of time. I didn't take this job just to make money from the Jiang family.
