Chapter 1
Jinyin Village is a small village with only a few dozen households. It is surrounded by mountains and has barren land. There is a small river beside the village, but the river is almost dry all year round. Because it is close to the county seat, the villagers rely on selling vegetables to supplement their family income throughout the year. , life is not considered rich, and it can barely fill the stomach.
Jinyin Village is neither a beautiful place nor a pleasant scenery, but because of the word "Jinyin Village", it attracts many strangers with backpacks to come to the village to hunt for treasures. They ask the villagers where there are caves and whether they have heard of treasures there. , making the villagers extremely annoyed.
Li Ying is five years old and is also a villager in Jinyin Village. She also hates people who come to the village to hunt for treasures.
In the summer of 1980, the scorching sun was shining brightly on the earth, and cicadas kept shouting "Cicada, Cicada" on the trees.
Li Ying and her father Li Yun were sitting at the door of the hall enjoying the cool air. They looked up at the mountain opposite and saw two idiots carrying backpacks and sun hats, exploring the mountain with detectors in the hot sunshine. Try to find the treasure buried deep in the soil.
Is there really a treasure on the mountain? If there is a treasure, why don't people in the village go to the mountains to look for it? If you find the treasure, you can live a good life! Li Ying couldn't figure it out even if she thought about it, so she turned to look at Li Yun and asked in confusion: "Dad, why don't you look for the treasure? If you find the treasure, our family will have money to buy meat. Can you You can buy me new clothes and show them around in the village, how beautiful will it be?"
Li Yun kept shaking the cattail leaf fan in his hand and rolled his eyes at Li Ying angrily, "Our Li family has lived here for generations. Those who came to the village to find treasures came one after another, but no one found any. A treasure."
"Dad, since there is no treasure, why do those people keep coming to the village to look for the treasure?" Li Ying asked curiously.
Li Yun sneered coldly and said disdainfully: "Those people want to get rich, they are crazy."
Li Ying looked at Li Yun and said, "Dad, I also want to get rich. I also went to the mountains with Shuanzi and others to look for treasures, but the mountains were full of rocks, mud, trees and grass, and we found nothing."
The corners of Li Yun's mouth twitched, and the bigger kids also wanted to find the treasure.
Li Yun looked at Li Ying with a speechless face, "If there is really a treasure, it won't be your turn, little girl. From now on, you are not allowed to run around in the mountains and bump into each other."
Li Ying sighed and said helplessly: "I want to eat fragrant and sweet toffee, wear a beautiful dress, and eat fragrant and spicy scissors, but you don't have money to buy them for me, so I just want to go find them." Baby, buy something delicious.”
When Li Ying said this, she looked at Li Yun expectantly, "Dad, when will you make a fortune so that your daughter and I can eat well, drink spicy food, and buy whatever I want when I go out on the street?" "
Li Yun was angry and slapped Li Ying on the head, "You want to eat shit!"
Everyone wants to get rich, but only a few really get rich.
Li Ying touched her beaten head and looked at Li Yun unhappily, "Dad, my farts stink, I won't eat them." When Li Ying said this, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to her, and she suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Yun said, "Dad, do you like to eat farts?"
Li Ying looked at Li Ying with a speechless face. When did he say that he liked eating farts?
What on earth is going on in this damn girl’s head, thinking about random things all day long?
Li Ying covered her mouth and smiled: "Dad, you like to eat farts, so next time I fart, I will hold it in and let it out in front of you, so that you can eat as much as you like."
Li Yun's face turned dark when he heard this.
Li Ying's heart tightened. She didn't know why Li Yun's face was so ugly. She asked in confusion: "Dad, your face is so ugly. Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Yun stretched out his finger and poked Li Ying's head, "Damn girl, when I see you, do I feel uncomfortable all over?"
Li Ying touched her painful forehead and looked at Li Yun with tears in her eyes. Why did she poke her head? She had done nothing wrong. Li Yun saw Li Ying with tears in her eyes and looked at him aggrievedly. He glanced into the main room with a guilty conscience, worried that he would make Li Ying cry and be scolded by his mother.
"Hurry up and put away your tears, or I'll beat you up." Li Yun said in a pretentious manner.
Li Ying finally couldn't help crying loudly, and while crying loudly, she also said: "Mom, come out quickly, it hurts so much when my father hits me."
"Grandma, come quickly, your son is beating your granddaughter."
Li Yun had a trace of panic on his face. He looked at Li Ying who was crying in annoyance. Seeing her howling louder and louder, his heart skipped a beat. Finally, he simply covered Li Ying's mouth and warned in a low voice: "Ying'er , don’t cry, if you cry again I will really beat you.”
Li Yun said and patted Li Ying's butt.
Li Ying's face was full of grievances. Is there any justice in heaven when her father beat her and refused to let her cry?
She insisted on crying, she cried with all her strength, she cried to death! Li Ying's tears fell heavily, and they dripped on the back of Li Yun's hand. Li Yun retracted his hand.
Grandma Li and Fang Xue walked out of the hall. As soon as Li Ying saw them, she seemed to have seen a savior. She immediately ran to Grandma Li and Fang Xue and complained to them in tears, "Grandma, Mom, my father beat me. The beating was so painful, and he also called me a girl. He didn’t love me. She must have disliked me for being a girl, and he favored boys over girls.”
Grandma Li and Fang Xue looked at Li Yun at the same time, with a trace of anger and disapproval on their faces.
Li Yun's hair went numb when Fang Xue and Grandma Li looked at her, and he hurriedly explained: "I didn't hit Ying'er, I just poked her forehead."
Grandma Li looked at Li Ying's forehead and saw a red mark on Li Ying's fair forehead. She angrily picked up the broom placed under the eaves and hit Li Yun.
Li Yun screamed after being beaten. Li Ying watched the broom hit Li Yun again and again. Her eyes lit up and she stopped crying. She shouted to Grandma Li: "Grandma, my father not only beat me What if he beats me silly and makes me look like a fool?"
Grandma Li originally only used three points of force to hit Li Yun, but after listening to Li Ying's words, she increased the force by two points. "Li Yun, you are crazy. You beat your own daughter. You beat her until she is stupid. She will not be able to get married in the future. You will raise her for the rest of her life."
"I didn't use any force, how could I beat Ying'er silly?" Li Yun explained vigorously.
Grandma Li stopped, pointed the broom at Li Yun, and said angrily: "If you hit Ying'er hard, wouldn't you blow Ying'er's head off?"
Li Yun looked at Grandma Li with frustration and helplessness, and lowered his head in frustration. He really had no human rights at all.
Li Ying suddenly felt that Li Yun was a little pitiful, and said considerately: "Grandma, although my father beat me, I don't blame her. Whoever makes him my father, you should stop beating him."
Fang Xue smiled, looked at Grandma Li and said, "Mom, Brother Yun knows he was wrong, and he will definitely not hit Yinger again next time."
Grandma Li threw the broom to the ground and glared at Li Yun fiercely, "Look, your wife and daughter are very sensible. You should learn more from them."
As soon as Grandma Li finished speaking, she saw five people standing at the gate, an old man in his late teens, two young men and two young women.
Grandma Lin looked at the five people standing at the door, frowned, and asked with a cold face: "How many of you are okay?"
Li Ying saw the backpacks on the backs of those people and said first, "Grandma, they must have come to the village to look for treasures."
The old man looked at Li Ying with interest, smiled and asked, "Little girl knows about the baby."
"I know, I'm the smartest kid in the village, there's nothing I don't know." Li Ying said, pointing to the opposite slope, "Did you see that there are two fools on the mountain who came to our village to look for treasures like you? Go quickly and go find the baby with them!"
The old man and the four young men and women looked along Li Ying's hand, and sure enough they saw two people looking for treasures on the mountain.
Li Ying looked at a few people and said, "My grandpa said that the treasure belongs to our village. If you find the treasure, you must give us [-]% of it, otherwise..."
The old man looked at Li Ying and asked with a smile: "What else?"
Li Ying followed her grandfather's example, put her hands on her waist, and looked at the old man and the others expressionlessly, "Otherwise, I will let you enter the village standing upright and leave sideways."
Li Yun turned his head away from the five people standing at the door.
Fang Xue smiled and said to the old man and the others: "Guys, hunt for treasures as early as possible. I wish you all your wishes will come true."
The old man looked at Fang Xue and asked, "It's too hot, can you give us a drink of water?"
As soon as Li Ying heard that the old man wanted to drink water, she trotted to the jar, took a ladle and took a scoop of water. She walked to the gate and kindly said to the old man: "Drink! After drinking, you go find the treasure quickly. If you find the treasure, I will I have money to buy delicious food and beautiful dresses.”
A woman with short hair glared at Li Ying and said dissatisfiedly: "If we find a baby, it's ours. What does it have to do with you?"
Her companion agreed with what the short-haired woman said and looked at Li Ying with displeasure in her eyes.
When Li Ying heard that these people were unwilling to share the treasure, she immediately became unhappy and looked at the people standing at the door angrily.
"My grandpa said that the land here belongs to our village. Every blade of grass and tree here, and even the air you breathe, belongs to our village. My dear, it belongs to our village even more. Do you want to be a bandit?" Li Ying said and looked at Li Yun, "Dad, go and take out the guns our family used when fighting bandits, and let them know that our village is not to be trifled with."
The old man's face turned a bit ugly. He lowered his head and looked at the little girl standing in front of him. She was at most five or six years old. She was cute and cute, but her words were so tough.
The four young men following the old man had a trace of fear on their faces when they heard Li Ying asking Li Yun to get the gun.
Li Yun picked up the water ladle from Li Ying's hand and handed it to the old man. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji, the five of you drank the water and quickly found the treasure!"
The old man took the water ladle, drank two sips of water, handed the water ladle to Li Yun, looked at Li Ying deeply, and left with the four young people.
Li Yun looked at the people leaving and shook his head in a funny way, "I listened to a few rumors and mistakenly thought they were true. They are just some people who fantasize about getting rich and like to daydream."
Grandma Lin looked at Li Yun with obscure eyes, and then looked back calmly.
Li Ying heard some disdain from Li Yun's tone and asked curiously: "Dad, what kind of rumors are they?"
Li Yun rolled his eyes at Li Ying, "I was beaten, but I still want to hear a story. You are so beautiful, just stay here."
Li Ying raised her chin slightly and looked at Li Yun arrogantly, "You know it, and others also know it. Why don't I ask you? Why don't I ask Grandpa Zu?"
After speaking, Li Ying ran out of the yard and ran towards her grandfather's house.
