Chapter 1 Time to take out the coffin book

"The old ancestral hall has been disrepaired..."

An old man with wrinkles on his face and holding a wooden crutch that had become shiny due to long-term caressing, gathered all the villagers of Xiaoshi Village in the square used by Xiaoshi Village to dry rice, and discussed the rare event in Xiaoshi Village in decades.

Build a ancestral hall.

He is the old village chief of Xiaoshi Village.

"My Xiaoshi Village Ancestral Hall must be built, and this matter is for me Shi San."

The burly man couldn't wait, his chest slammed.

"I was lucky enough to learn a few carving techniques from an outer disciple of the Tiger Gang. No one is more suitable for building a ancestral hall than me."

There is a thin man with dark skin and a proud look on his face.

The Tiger Gang, Luofeng City has a certain reputation and transcendent existence. It is said that there is a half-step supreme figure in the gang. Although Zhao Jiu is not a member of the Tiger Gang, he has also worked in the Tiger Gang for no reason. Compared with other people in Xiaoshi Village, he can be said to have truly seen the world and built a ancestral hall.

The rice field is in chaos.

Building a ancestral hall requires a lot of money, which is a real big fat man. As long as you get it, even if you only get a little bit of it, you don’t know how many years of hard work this group of Xiaoshi Village can be saved.

This kind of good thing must be rushed forward.

"My first step in Gu Changqing's business..."

There was a young man who had a yellow paper scroll in one hand, had cloth shoes on one hand, had a head of black hair tied with a hemp rope, and had a cheap shirt that turned white due to long-term washing. The overall look was neat, and his eyes were full of confidence.

His name is Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing was determined to win the construction of the Shi Family Ancestral Hall. No one in Xiaoshi Village understood the huge profits in the construction industry better than him, even if it was just a small project like a small ancestral hall.

Unlike other villagers, Gu Changqing did not break his head and squeeze it inside. He understood that no matter how sexy you scream, the most important point is that you need information.

Unexpectedly, I can't get slutty and I'm just disgusting.

Many villagers were fighting over and over again, and they didn't come up with a plan that could really make the old village chief excited, which made the old village chief almost furious.

"Old village chief, look at this." Seeing that the heat was almost done, Gu Changqing walked to the old village chief and slowly unfolded the yellow paper scroll in his hand.

"good..."

The old village chief gently stroked the yellow paper scroll, and his old palms trembled slightly.

"Boy from the Gu family, why are you joining in the fun?"

There is a villager who has no eyesight and looks unwelcome to you. Our Shi Family Ancestral Hall is going to rebuild the ancestral hall. If you come in with someone from another surname, what's the matter?

"Shi Laowu, why are you, my surname is Gu?"

One year, the old man who was almost the same as the old village chief, was immediately unhappy when he was sitting on a dilapidated stone mill smoking a dry tobacco.

Do you look down on someone with the surname Gu or what?

Although Xiaoshi Village has the word "Shi", not all the villages have the surname Shi, the surname Gu, Zhao, and Qian. However, there are tablets of ancestors placed in the dilapidated ancestral hall.

Other villagers who are not surnamed Shi don’t like to listen to Shi Laowu’s words. They talk a lot. If you say something, I will reply. In the moment, the rice field in the vegetable market is as lively as a vegetable market, and it becomes more like a vegetable market, and it is noisy.

"Okay, stop arguing, Old Man, Old Man Qian, you guys are all here."

The old village chief paused the crutch in his hand.

There was an old village chief here, and Xiaoshi Village could not get into chaos, but the noisy look was really not a bit solemn and sacred atmosphere in Xiaoshi Village's major decisions.

"This is what the ancestral hall is."

Old Man Qian is a respected old man named Qian from Xiaoshi Village. When he saw the yellow paper scroll in the hand of the old village chief, he felt like he was crazy.

"It's worthy of being my Gu family."

The old man was very pleased that Gu Changqing was not his direct descendant, but after several generations of discussion, Gu Changqing called him uncle and thought he could still afford it.

The Gu family has such a son, and has a long face.

"The future of Xiaoshi Village is ultimately in you young people." An old man looked like I was old, but in fact, he was indeed a little old.

When other villagers saw a piece of broken paper, they shocked several old men in the village who were truly determined in Xiaoshi Village. They squeezed in to see what the broken paper in the old village chief was.

When many villagers saw it, the scene became quiet.

Especially the ones who wanted to take down the ancestral hall and compete the most were like deflated balls, and they suddenly felt that their life was dark.

No need to think about it, they know there is no chance.

A yellow paper scroll, a hall formed by a nine-story stone platform, consisting of red bricks and green tiles. There is a wooden plaque in front of the hall, with a few big characters from the Xiaoshi Village ancestral hall written on it, with silver hooks and iron paintings, dragons and phoenixes dancing.

The five big characters of Xiaoshi Village Ancestral Hall on the wooden plaque indicate that the yellow paper scroll is the renderings prepared by Gu Changqing for the Xiaoshi Village Ancestral Hall.

In addition to the plaque and the ancestral hall on the scroll, the gate is double-opened and composed of two carved mahogany pieces. On both sides of the gate, there is a couplet made of stone carvings. In front of the gate, there are two Panlong stone pillars, which are lifelike. Except for the Panlong stone pillars, the other sixteen stone pillars in front of the main gate are all carved with some kind of vivid creatures.

There are two stone lions in front of the hall, majestic and domineering.

At the top of the exterior wall of the ancestral hall, there are various patterns, sowing in spring, harvesting in autumn, children playing, koi playing in the water, towering mountains, and immortals riding in the fog, which is not enough.

There are various plants around the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall on the whole scroll is not about its magical skills or its engravings and earthly paintings, but it can also be said to be a grand view. Even if it is just a picture, many village names can be imagined. The ancestral hall on the yellow paper scroll has really been built, and even the lord's mansion in Luofeng City may not be comparable.

"Since everyone has no objection, the ancestral hall will be handed over to Changqing."

The old village chief made the decision.

There were unwilling villagers in the village who wanted to fight for it, but some inconsistent voices appeared, and they were immediately suppressed by the old village chief.

What a joke, although they cannot live in the ancestral hall on yellow paper when they are alive, it will be their home a hundred years later.

As the helmsman of Xiaoshi Village, leading Xiaoshi Village to move forward steadily for decades, many villagers in Xiaoshi Village don’t know what they are. He even pointed out in his mind that the scroll provided by Gu Changqing was definitely beyond his imagination and a huge surprise.

"Old village chief, other problems are not problems. The key is that this money may not be enough..."

Gu Changqing thought about it, his eyes were filled with joy. The biggest fatty man in Xiaoshi Village in decades fell on him. It depends on whether to drink porridge or eat meat in the future.

"The ancestral hall must be built if it is sold out. You don't have to worry about money. My Xiaoshi Village still has some wealth."

"It's time to take out the coffin book."

The old village chief waved his hand and dispersed the other villagers. He took Gu Changqing to guard Xiaoshi Village the most severely. Two brave and powerful people in the village were said to kick the trees as big as a bowl, which could shake the dead leaves on the trees down a large treasure house guarded by a strong man.

The treasure house is the Tibetan silver land in Xiaoshi Village.

There is one treasure house like this on the surface of Xiaoshi Village and some on the secret. Only the village chiefs of all generations know how many of them are.

There are several wooden racks in the treasure house. Judging from the color of the surface of the wooden rack, it is obvious that it has been a while. There are black wooden boxes that are also a few years old. The boxes contain white silver, which is the public property of Xiaoshi Village.

"Old village chief, this money is not all about building a ancestral hall for me, right?"

Gu Changqing's face shining, and he had seen many red banknotes. There were real real gold and silver, not to mention a few large boxes, but a few ingots, which was the first time he had seen them.

"What do you think? You can take half of the money in the treasure house, but the old man can say something ugly in front of you. If you give you the money, you must build the ancestral hall on paper, otherwise......"

The old village chief glared at him. The money in front of him was the wealth that the ancestors of Xiaoshi Village had saved up bit by bit after years of hard work. No matter how hard he wanted to build the ancestral hall, he would never spend it all at once.

"Can you have a little more, even if it's one or two more."

"cannot."

"Village Chief, you have to know that if you want to build the ancestral hall according to the pictures on paper, you won't talk about other expenses. Carpenters, stonemasons, and painters must ask for it. This is a considerable expense. Hey... Village Chief, what is that?"

Gu Changqing wanted to strive for more and plan his plan to come down. In a blink of an eye, he saw a blue stone slab as big as a washbasin.
