The advantage of the regular army is that it can easily get policy support. After a morning's decision, Cha Wenbin suggested starting from Shuangyuan Village. Although there was a bit of "private" heart, it was also under the banner of rushing to rescue and excavate. The update is fast. Generally speaking, that place is currently the most severely damaged and also the most rampant area for theft and excavation.
In the northwest of Zhejiang, there were many noble tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period of Yue State, which were relatively well-preserved due to their remote location. With the opening up of the economy and the country, the population has become increasingly concentrated, and these ancient tombs that have not been effectively protected have become "prey" for some lawless elements. In recent years, the phenomenon of tomb raiding has begun to appear frequently. A bronze vessel can be purchased from a farmer for just a few hundred yuan. For local farmers who lack an economic foundation, obtaining wealth from underground has become a way for them to increase their income during their leisure time.
Because this activity has received a lot of support, He Lao did not hide or conceal anything and planned to unite with the local police station in Zhuangyuan Village to get straight to the point. At noon, our group of over a dozen people set off directly from Wulipu on a four-wheeled public transportation vehicle heading towards Zhuangyuan Village.
In the afternoon, the village of Zhuangyuan was bathed in the warm glow of sunset, and at the entrance of the village, under a large ginkgo tree, the new village chief of Zhuangyuan Village was leading the village cadres in a warm welcome, but his smile seemed unnatural to me.
I whispered to Cha Wenbin, "He's probably about to cry, laughing so miserably."
This village is located in a remote area, belonging to the typical "three no's" and is also a typical clan system in southern society. The village under this system is almost as strong as the bandit style before liberation. On my way here, I heard that the local police station was almost beaten by the locals in the morning, and it wasn't until the afternoon when the local armed police came over that they backed down. In order to avoid unnecessary diplomatic misunderstandings, the armed police had already withdrawn an hour before we arrived.
"Director Huang, aren't you sending us into a den of thieves? No way, our safety must be guaranteed."
"They haven't withdrawn, they've all dispersed in the surrounding towns and villages. If something happens, the troops can gather within half an hour. I've talked to the new head of the clan and told him that the country's policies are good. No matter what they did in the past, as long as they cooperate fully now, we can let bygones be bygones."
I smiled and said, "Is it really that good?"
He also smiled and said, "I'm just doing things according to policy. Since Xia is their specially appointed guide, if there's any problem, he can contact me in time. These days, our brothers will be stationed in the village. To tell you the truth, I really don't like coming to this place. Not to mention that the people here are all uncommunicative, my cousin's family had a distant relative who married into this village and went mad within a few years, saying that everyone living in this village is not human."
"Hey, that's quite serious." I said: "Now is the time when rape flowers are in bloom, it's easy to get sick. Don't you think of a way to take him out for a look?"
As soon as the conversation started, Huang Zongchang began to chat with me about family matters. He said: "Hey, they didn't allow medical treatment at home, saying that the person wasn't sick. Later, the relatives came to make trouble and a conflict broke out, almost killing someone. A few years ago, I was asked to handle it once, and that girl was also 'evil'. When she arrived at the hospital, she could eat, drink, and speak clearly, looking like there was nothing wrong with her. But as soon as she heard about being taken back home, she went crazy and couldn't explain what happened. You say I'm just a mixed rice eater, on one hand, it's relatives, on the other hand, it's the masses, these people in this area are really not easy to deal with." He pointed at the old house in the village and said: "Don't look at how remote this place is, but this is actually the richest village in our southern Anhui province. It was the first to have electricity, the first to use tap water, and the first to have a program-controlled telephone. Those old guys' rooms are all equipped with Japanese-made TVs, I had to find connections to buy a Panda brand one."
Zhuangyuan Village is a wealthy place, I knew that from my first few visits. It's all about those corrupt officials, isn't it? I took one look at Huang and thought to myself, as the big shot of this area, you must know what's going on. And with your wealth, you could probably even raise real pandas at home, just looking at his belly tells me he's full of fat and water.
I pretended to be ignorant and asked in surprise: "Why are they so rich here?"
He pointed to the other side of the river and said, "In the past, there was a coal mine over there. The mine was collectively owned by the village and it was one of the best quality coals in East China. After the reform, the village found partners to expand the mine, and production increased rapidly. They were shipping whole boats full of coal to those big factories in Shanghai, making a fortune."
"Haha, I didn't know that was a good thing too, it's also fate."
Just as we were talking, our group had just passed through the village entrance when we heard a woman crying and shouting: "Save me! Murder!"
As soon as this shout came out, the team immediately stopped. Soon, a man wearing a Zhongshan suit on top and "pants" and liberation shoes on the bottom rushed over from outside the village. This person knew Huang Zong, and the two even exchanged blows. When he saw him, he said: "That madwoman is making trouble again, not even playing cards peacefully. See how I deal with her when I get back."
Cha Wenbin stopped and asked in doubt: "Crazy woman?"
"Ah, it's that distant relative of mine from afar, being bullied again." Just as Director Huang finished speaking, I heard the man's loud scolding and beating sounds, "I'll 'fix' you, you crazy woman, you broom star, I'll beat you to death, I'll let you run...".
I looked at the police officer with a hint of sarcasm and said, "Director Huang, your own family member was beaten up, and you're not even going to take a look?"
He sighed and said, "It's hard for a clean official to meddle in family affairs. Forget it, I won't bother anymore." Seeing Cha Wenbin stop, he hurried over and pulled him along, saying, "Let's go, let's go! The village has prepared a dinner banquet for everyone, if we don't go soon, it'll be impolite of us."
"No way!" Zhang Wenbin's temper flared up, and no one could stop him. He shook off Huang Suozhang's arm and said: "It's still daytime, how can an old man like you hit a 'woman'? You don't care, I'll take care of it!"
"Hey, hey, hey, Cha Lao Di, I'm telling you..." Watching Cha Wenbin walk straight up, Huang Suo Chang stomped his foot and said to me: "Xia Lao Di, hurry up and pull him back, the people in this village are not easy to mess with."
"Is that so?" I snorted and patted the long cloth bag on my shoulder, saying: "This has to be asked of the guy in my hands, whether he answers or not!"
"Who are you?" He stared at me, speechless for a moment. As soon as I turned around, he reached out and 'touched' my back, then I heard him shout loudly: "Halt! You dare to 'privately' hide firearms!"
"I was invited to protect that old American." I pointed at Mr. Gu and said to Director Huang, "He is an American scientist, you know that archaeological work can be dangerous, and this place has a rough folk culture, even you guys can't handle it, I have to take responsibility for their safety. Besides, Director Huang, I'm telling you, I carry a gun to protect him, which means protecting the cooperation between China and the US. This matter, if we downplay it, I'm just a bodyguard who died, but if we magnify it, it's a diplomatic issue between China and the US." I patted his shoulder badge and said, "Old Huang, if the Americans are not happy, then I won't be happy either, and this project will also be unhappy. If things go wrong, it could lead to a diplomatic incident, or at the very least, you'll be criticized for not treating foreign guests well, both of which would be enough to get that badge on your shoulder taken away. You'd better think carefully about it."
I was taken aback by what Huang said, this old guy is really something. He only encountered the Sino-Vietnamese War when he was a new recruit, originally an artilleryman, and was stunned by a Vietnamese shell as soon as he got off the car, and was sent directly to the rear hospital for recuperation for half a year. When he retired, he relied on this "mix" to get a third-class merit, and the local government arranged him into the team, and only promoted last year. Someone like him, with no culture or background, has managed to climb up to today's position, naturally understands the way of doing things, so when I said that, he didn't dare say anything more.
I intentionally tightened the straps on my body and said, "Professor He, that 'woman' who was beaten up is the younger sister of this police officer. He wants to go up and take a look. What do you think? Should we wait for Professor Gu first?"
He Lao is a cultured person, how would he know what kind of 'medicine' I have in my gourd? He naturally agreed and said: "Then hurry up and go deal with it, we'll wait down here."
I'm not stupid, if I go out to face this kind of thing, that's just asking for trouble. What if the people here surround us and beat us up again? Who can we reason with then? They don't recognize any outsiders. Only Director Huang, he's in charge of the household, and he's also related to that crazy woman, so it's most suitable for him to handle this matter, both emotionally and rationally. So I gave him two bricks to step on, but he still can't bring himself to go down.
This old fellow was lifted by me, and naturally he had to push the boat along. I leaned on his shoulder and shouted to Cha Wenbin: "Wenbin, slow down, Huang Lao will take care of this matter, you wait a bit."
Director Huang, although unwilling in his heart, had no choice but to quicken his pace with a bitter face. As soon as he reached the door, he kicked it open and shouted: "Open the door, police!"
Before long, the man who had just gone in came out with a big sweat and handed cigarettes to Director Huang with a smile: "Director Huang, I'll be right there to join you for a few drinks after I've settled that woman."
With a "slap", Director Huang raised his hand and slapped him, saying: "Who the hell let you hit people? Tomorrow I'll send you in to serve half a month, get your head down!"
That guy was clearly stunned by this slap, and it seemed that he had a good relationship with Huang before. The guy who was slapped hadn't woken up yet, rubbing his face and saying: "What kind of fire medicine did you take today?"
Huang Zong raised his leather shoes and kicked again, right in the middle of that person's chest. He directly pulled out a gun and scolded: "Damn it, you dare to talk nonsense, move again and I'll shoot you!"
