"What a beautiful idea!" Song Tuanyuan glared at him, "It is only natural to pay back debts, otherwise..."
Thinking of the incident where Song Shuangxi was sold to an old man in his seventies as a concubine in his previous life, Song Tuanyuan felt that it must be bad for the Chen family to be quiet.
Song Fugui asked worriedly: "But mother, where can we get three taels of silver?"
"You go up the mountain with me tomorrow!" Song Tuanyuan said.
Behind this Qingshan Village is Qingshan. You can only rely on the mountains to eat, and go up the mountains to rob tombs!
Song Fugui was stunned for a moment. His mother had previously disliked the fact that climbing a mountain was tiring. There were snakes, insects, rats, and ants on the mountain. She would not even enter the mountain. Why would she take the initiative to enter the mountain now?
After Song Tuanyuan finished speaking, he was really tired. This day was really terrible.
Song Tuanyuan went to his room to sleep. After a while, Song Shuangxi and Song Xiaoxiao also came in, and the three of them crowded on the kang.
Song Shuangxi finally slept soundly this time. A thirteen-year-old girl still snores a little when she is growing up.
Early the next morning, Song Tuanyuan took Song Fugui into the mountain.
"You can take good care of your sister-in-law and children at home!" Song Tuanyuan told Song Shuangxi again, "Maybe you won't be able to come back at night. You can just eat, don't wait for us!"
I hope the Chen family won't come today, so as to give her time to think of something.
Song Shuangxi heard Song Tuanyuan's order and quickly responded.
Song Tuanyuan directed Song Fugui to carry the shovel and hammer. She found an iron hook, tied a strong rope to it, wrapped it around her shoulders, stuffed two sweet potatoes into her waistband, and then went up the mountain.
When it was warm but then cold, there were few people on the mountain. Song Fugui didn't know whether Song Tuanyuan wanted to chop wood or dig wild vegetables, so he just led Song Tuanyuan inside.
"Go to that hilltop!" Song Tuanyuan pointed to the hilltop next to him.
"Mom, there are only green pines on the mountain over there, nothing else!" Song Fugui said.
"I just want Qingsong!" Song Tuanyuan said.
Green pines, luxuriant grass, and ancient stone tombs. When she went out that day, when she took a look, she could tell that it was a geomantic treasure.
Three taels of silver is not a small amount, and in a short time she could only think of this solution!
It is rumored that three high-ranking officials from the previous dynasty are buried on Qingshan Mountain, but for hundreds of years, the people under the Qingshan Mountain have dug holes in the Qingshan Mountain and still cannot find them.
Song Tuanyuan read a lot of miscellaneous books when he was in bed. Ancient Kanyu knew a lot about it, and he could tell at a glance that the mountain opposite was a geomantic treasure of tombs.
Song Fugui muttered: "Mom, if you don't cut firewood, you don't know that these pine trees are always green all year round. Not to mention that the wood is too hard. Even if it is cut, it will sink even if you carry it down the mountain..."
Song Tuanyuan ignored him and went straight to the next hill.
Song Fugui had no choice but to keep up.
Having only eaten half a piece of sweet potato before, Song Tuanyuan gradually began to feel hungry. Plus, she was tired, and her eyes were filled with stars.
Finally climbing halfway up the mountain, Song Tuanyuan cheered up and stared for a long time, then handed the rope to Song Fugui, pointed to a thick green pine halfway up the mountain and said, "Dig according to the root of the tree!"
Song Fugui's eyes widened when he saw the green pine growing on the mountainside. How could he dig such a thick green pine?
"What are you waiting for? Go quickly!" Song Tuanyuan glared at Song Fugui, "If you don't want to go, why do you want me to go?"
Although Song Fugui was stupid, he was still a filial son. How could he let his wife climb halfway up the mountain to cut firewood? So he had to tie a rope to his body, crawl over bit by bit, and really dig up the green pine roots.
It was getting dark gradually, and Song Tuanyuan lit a torch without any intention of asking Song Fugui to stop.
"Mom, we can't dig anymore!" Song Fugui shouted down, his voice losing strength, "The bottom is stone slab, it's too hard!"
When Song Tuanyuan heard that she had dug a slab of stone, she immediately called Song Fugui to come down, and she climbed up on her own.
It really is the stone slab from the tomb!
Song Tuanyuan used the chisel he brought with him to pry open the tomb door bit by bit, and there was indeed a bronze pavilion inside.
Song Tuanyuan climbed in, but her fat body almost got stuck. After a lot of effort, she got in and pried open the bronze coffin. Apart from a handful of bones, there was only a ring on the bone inside.
Song Tuanyuan was a little disappointed, but it was better than nothing!
Song Tuanyuan took the ring out, dug some dirt and sealed the tomb door.
Song Fugui looked at the rope from above, fearing that Song Tuanyuan would fall. He didn't know what Song Tuanyuan was doing, so he only heard the clanging sound.
When it was almost dawn, Song Tuanyuan came up in disgrace and called Song Fugui to go home.
"Mom, don't you want that big green pine?" Song Fugui couldn't help but ask.
"Can you carry it back after being chopped down?" Song Tuanyuan rolled her eyes at Song Fugui.
Song Fugui touched his head, of course he couldn't!
"Let's go quickly!" Song Tuanyuan said, shaking his sore arms and returning home.
Not long after Song Tuanyuan and her son left, two tall horses appeared on the top of the mountain.
The boy behind said excitedly: "Master, I just said there must be a path to ride up on!"
The man in front was tall and slender, dressed in green clothes. He looked at the green pine trees on the mountainside for a long time and said in a low voice: "You wait here, I'll go take a look first!"
The boy responded quickly.
The man climbed the mountain with his bare hands and was halfway down the mountain in no time.
When he saw the fresh soil on the mountainside, the man was stunned for a moment. He quickly thought of something and his eyes darkened.
At dawn, Song Tuanyuan and Song Fugui finally returned home.
Song Shuangxi and Song Xiaoxiao were cooking. When they saw Song Tuanyuan coming back, they quickly stepped forward to take the things from Song Tuanyuan.
Song Tuanyuan entered the back room.
In the tomb just now, Song Tuanyuan didn't take a close look at the ring, but now he looked at it in the light of the sky. It was a red gemstone, which should have been called Liuli in this dynasty.
No matter what, let's give the money to the Chen family first.
Song Fugui spent most of the day digging tree roots. He was already tired and fell asleep as soon as he entered the house without even thinking about eating.
Song Shuangxi and Song Xiaoxiao brought the porridge and sweet potato and white steamed buns to the table, and called Song to reunite for dinner.
After yesterday's heart-to-heart talk, Song Shuangxi and Song Xiaoxiao were obviously much happier.
But Song Shuangxi was still worried about the three taels of silver.
"Mom, did you think of a way to go to the mountains yesterday?" Song Shuangxi asked.
Song Tuanyuan was still chewing sweet potatoes as usual. Although she wanted to vomit, she managed to eat some, "Don't worry about this, just take good care of your sister-in-law's confinement period!"
Song Shuangxi responded quickly.
Song Tuanyuan touched the ring and went out to Chenjiacun.
Behind him, Song Shuangxi looked at Song Tuanyuan's back. Even if this mother was transformed into a weasel fairy, she still liked such a mother!
At the head of Chenjia Village, many people gathered around. Some were carrying herbs on their backs, some were holding bottles and cans, some had gotten a good price, and some were disappointed.
Song Tuanyuan was afraid of being recognized by the Chen family, so she put on a rain hat and a scarf on her head, covering most of her face.
"Next!" Finally it was Song Tuanyuan's turn. Song Tuanyuan stepped forward and saw a pair of eyes when he looked up.
Those eyes are very beautiful, as if they can draw people in.
