Rebirth: 1977

After Shi Tiezhu left, Yin Tianshui closed the door and lowered the bolt.

He went to his room to pry open the floor above the hole and walked down step by step.

Four coffins were lined up inside.

Yin Tianshui opened the coffin from which he had taken two ancient paintings.

In addition to hundreds of calligraphy and paintings, the bottom is covered with boxes of various styles and colors.

Inside the box are various kinds of pearls and jade.

He picked up a string of one hundred and eight beads in a box.

The round beads are about one centimeter long.

Because there are "Buddha's head" and "lapis lazuli" for separating beads and other accessories on it, I weighed it in my hand.

Very substantial.

Although Yin Tianshui didn't know much about antique calligraphy and painting in his life.

But he also often attends various auctions and visits museums with friends.

I was invited by my boss friends who like to collect to see their collections.

Listen to them boast about the origins of various treasures and the historical stories behind them.

True or false.

But it also gave him a lot of knowledge.

Therefore, Yin Tianshui, who has lived an extra life, knows a little more than many of the current 'experts'.

Moreover, with his now superb memory and super body sensing function.

In addition, Yan Yanmin forced all kinds of treasure appraisal knowledge into his mind.

Yin Tianshui's current knowledge has surpassed that of ordinary treasure appraisers in terms of antique calligraphy and painting, jewelry and jade, etc.

The older it is, the stronger its recognition.

It's just that he doesn't have this understanding of himself yet.

Once upon a time, he saw a program in which such a string of beads appeared.

Dongzhu.

Also known as Chaozhu.

Expensive.

It is a royal item of the Qing Dynasty royal family.

He looked at the beads with a flashlight, and there was a faint reflection of crystal clear and colorful luster inside.

But for such a precious object, he now holds three strings in his hand.

The colors are all different, light yellow, gold, and milky white.

There are night pearls in other boxes.

There were beads that he couldn't name and in various colors.

The roundness and gloss told Yin Tianshui that these were top quality.

In another coffin, he also saw ‘amber’ and ‘beeswax’, which were hyped even more outrageously than jade and jade by later generations.

There were so many and so many colors, and they were sandwiched among various gold and jade ornaments, which dazzled his eyes.

Ever since Yin Tianshui got these treasures, he has been guessing who is hiding these treasures?

The items here can be traced back to several distant dynasties.

He had probably seen the contents of the other three coffins. They were all antique jewelry from past dynasties.

Mostly gold and silver jewelry.

There are also various jade and pendants to play with.

There are bronzes from unknown dynasties.

There are 'Tang Sancai' and 'Blue and White Porcelain'.

There are gold ingots, gold leaves, there are...

He didn't know many people he could name, and their dynasties had yet to be verified.

But as long as he got closer, he could feel the mysterious power coming from inside.

powerful!

Honghou!

Yin Tianshui hesitated and took ten paintings.

They were all painted by everyone in the Tang Dynasty.

He carefully put it into the large military green travel bag.

After closing the coffin lid, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If grandma is willing to tell him about the hidden treasure, he will confess to her the fact that he has taken it.

Yin Tianshui knew that grandma preferred the eldest sister, so he didn't mind sharing the treasures with the eldest sister.

The purpose is to repay his grandmother for her kindness in raising him.

But until now, grandma is still tight-lipped.

What Yin Tianshui wanted to know was what Tang Qizheng told him.

Grandma Pan's old house turned out to be the kitchen of a landlord named Pan.

Including the large area of ​​ruins and bamboo hills surrounding his and eldest sister's current homestead, they all belong to Landlord Pan's family.

That landlord was once the only wealthy man within a few dozen miles of Panjiawan.

The old landlord died in the early days of liberation.

The family members never showed up again. It is estimated that they all ran out.

I heard from Tang Qizheng that the landlord surnamed Pan only had five to six hundred acres of farmland.

Including mulberry fields and cotton fields.

The family employs five long-term workers on a long-term basis, and during busy farming seasons, it hires short-term workers to work temporarily.

Landlord Pan’s family did not make their fortune by farming.

His children and grandchildren all opened factories and did business in Shanghai and Hong Kong Island.

I even heard that several ships docked at the Shanghai Ship Terminal.

There are also several boats on Hong Kong Island.

How many?

No one knows.

Rumor has it that he is traveling overseas and doing business with foreigners.

Tang Qizheng told Yin Tianshui:

“I only met that old man when I was a teenager.

He held his pipe in his mouth all day and didn't talk much.

One time, it happened to be the Chinese New Year, and several of my brothers and I walked past Landlord Pan’s house.

Grandma Pan distributed persimmon cookies, longevity fruits, sesame candies and other food to us. "

Tang Qizheng clicked his tongue when he said this:

“The old man was lying on the recliner and looking at us with a smile.

Xiao Shui, to be honest, he didn’t give me the impression of a ‘bully’. "

"Did Land Reform find any treasure in their house?"

Yin Tianshui deliberately made Tang Qizheng excited that time, and then asked about these "old sesame seeds and rotten millet" past events.

At first Yin Tianshui asked about Granny Pan:

"Uncle Tang, does my grandma never have a family?

Was she an orphan like me when she was a child? "

In his previous life, Yin Tianshui never cared about this issue.

It's like I never cared about why I was an 'orphan'.

Now that I think about it, those who can be rated as "five-guarantee households" in rural areas are those who have no parents or relatives, and no brothers or sisters in the same generation.

There will be no future generations, and there will be old people who have lost the ability to work.

The orphans, widows, sick people, and disabled old people are the standard "no children and no grandchildren".

Tang Qizheng was still surprised that Yin Tianshui would ask this question. He thought that Yin Tianshui should know:

“Don’t you know why Grandma Pan is a household with five guarantees?

Before liberation, she worked as a servant in Landlord Pan's house and was all alone.

She was already in her early fifties during the land reform, so she was rated as a 'five-guarantee household'.

At that time, I was still young and didn’t know whether the government had investigated her life experience.

However, many people in Panjiawan have received secret help from Granny Pan, so the villagers have always taken good care of her. "

Yin Tianshui suddenly realized.

No wonder the stove in the old house is built with a sense of age, and is made of better and stronger materials than the stoves in ordinary farmhouses!

I wonder when the cellar below was dug?

Grandma Pan’s surname ‘Pan’ probably came from the landlord’s family.

But why were he and his eldest sister given the surname "Yin"?

Are there any other special reasons for this?

Wouldn't it be more reasonable to give their siblings a 'Pan' surname and live in Panjiawan?

They wouldn't have been so ostracized and bullied when they were young, right?

Yin Tianshui was full of doubts, but he didn't ask.

Following these words, Yin Tianshui learned something about the family of 'Old Landlord Pan'.

"He rarely talks to people in the village."

“He doesn’t curse loudly.”

"If someone in Panjiawan's family is sick, he will deliver medicine."

“If the sick family lacks food and clothing, the old landlord will ask Granny Pan to send rice and food.”

Yin Tianshui couldn't help but ask:

"In other words, Old Landlord Pan is not evil and will help poor people who are not lazy?"

"Yes, if the landowner had not died, the land reform would not have been too difficult."

Tang Qizheng analyzed.

Yin Tianshui would not think so. 'Landlords' and 'peasants' will always be antagonistic.

The mentality of "hate the rich" will make many people forget the help others have given them.

This is the weakness of human nature!

This is also the despicable part of human nature.

Yin Tianshui would not argue with Tang Qizheng about these worthless things.

"At that time, was it my grandma who did all these favors to others?"

"Yes, Granny Pan does most of the work. Sometimes other long-term workers are also asked to do it."

Tang Qizheng nodded in confirmation.

Next, Tang Qizheng also talked about some things he knew and heard about the old landlord Pan's family.

"Only some old people have met his descendants once or twice."

"It's rare to come back once in a few years to see the old landowner and take away a batch of grain."

"The landlord's mother-in-law died a long time ago. In addition to the five long-term workers in Landlord Pan's family, there was only one maid, Grandma Pan.

She was responsible for all the household chores in the landowner's home. "
