After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 73 Yellowed Booklet, Rusty Key!
Several pairs of eyes were focused on Pang Zhibin, putting a lot of pressure on him.

Pang Zhibin rubbed his face and said, "For money."

"money?"

This answer surprised everyone present.

Chen Yang frowned, "For the sake of money, you go to dig a lonely grave. There are so many old graves in Shengjiba, and you don't touch them?"

"A large tomb is too conspicuous. I dare not dig it, and I can't dig it. No one will care if I dig a solitary tomb."

Nervous, scared.

Uneasy and with a tiny voice.

But Chen Yang could see that his nervousness and fear were all pretended. This kid was not as simple as he seemed.

"It seems that I can only report this to the police." Chen Yang took out his cell phone.

"Xiao Chen, stop, stop, let's talk more, we can talk it out if we have something to say..." Pang Yonglin hurriedly stopped him, "If you report it to the police, this child's life will be ruined."

Chen Yang shook his head helplessly, "He won't tell me the truth, there's nothing I can do..."

"How do you know I'm not telling the truth?"

Pang Zhibin spoke suddenly, and seemed quite unconvinced.

"You look nervous, but you're actually very calm. You said you dug graves for money. Do you think this reason makes sense?"

"You are so smart. You can easily find a job in the city and study while working. Why do you have to take risks and do something that will damage your moral character..."

"What kind of person and what kind of courage does it take to dig up a grave? You are a college student, how could you not know the consequences? What could be in such a lonely grave that is worth the risk?"

Chen Yang's words were well-organized and made Pang Zhibin become autistic.

He hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain what he meant.

Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and I was really nervous now.

"If you don't cooperate, then there's nothing we can do but report it to the police," Chen Yang said very seriously.

Pang Zhibin paused.

He looked up at Pang Yonglin and the others, and they were all looking at him with a look of disappointment.

His psychological defenses were finally broken.

“I really did it for the money.”

Pang Zhibin buried his head on the table. "My father owes a lot of foreign debts, and my mother needs money for long-term medication. I really have no choice..."

"I went back to school last week. On the way back, I met a man on the bus. He asked me if I was from Pangpo Village and started chatting with me..."

"Then, he asked me to come back and find Mr. Pang San's tomb, and find a chance to help him take out the things in the tomb. After the task is completed, he will give me a reward of 100,000 yuan..."

"I have no choice. My mother is sick and needs money, and I also need money for my studies..."

Pang Zhibin's shoulders shook and tears dripped onto the ground. It was obvious that he was indeed carrying a lot.

When the people in the room heard this, they felt very heavy.

"What was it that he asked you to take?"

Chen Yang was very curious about what was in Blind Pang’s tomb that was worth digging.

"Here's the thing!"

Pang Zhiyong took out a box from the drawer of the table next to him.

It was a nanmu box, square and half a foot wide, painted black and carved with some historical patterns.

The box had obviously been opened and looked at.

There were two things inside and a yellowed notebook.

The other thing was a key stuck in the notebook.

The key was in the shape of a plum blossom, more than a finger long, and covered with rust, but not yet broken.

The notebook was opened. The paper had turned yellow over time, and there were missing pages. It was also covered with stains. The writing on the few remaining pages was already blurred.

"Centipede Ridge, Mixiangou..."

"Lianshan?"

Some words can be vaguely recognized, including the place name Qishan, but the words are so blurry that it is difficult to understand their meaning.

Chen Yang didn't understand what it meant, and after looking at it for a while, he kept sucking his teeth. He picked up the key and looked at it, and couldn't help but think of the safe in his mind.

Could this be the key to the safe?
Thinking of this, a strange light flashed in Chen Yang's eyes, and then quickly subsided.

He raised his head and looked at Pang Zhibin, "Anything else?"

Pang Zhibin waved his hands repeatedly, "There is only this box, nothing else."

Chen Yang took a deep breath, "Who is that person?"

"He was wearing a mask, so I couldn't see his face, but he should be quite old, a man..."

"How did you get in touch? How do you give it to him after you get it?"

"He asked me to leave the things behind the statue of Pangdegong in Pangpo Cave before tomorrow night. After he gets the things, he will transfer the money to my card."

Pang Zhibin is now quite cooperative and tells everything at once.

……

-

"Xiao Chen, this child is indeed pitiful, and his behavior is understandable. Considering that this is his first offense..."

After coming out of the house, Pang Yonglin kept pleading for Pang Zhibin.

It is not easy for a village to have a college student from a key university. It is an honor, but these have become stains, and if they get out, it will also affect the reputation of the village.

"Director Pang, I understand what you mean. I know what you mean."

Chen Yang nodded slightly and raised the wooden box in his hand. "This thing should have been placed in Mr. Pang San's tomb by my great grandfather. Is it okay for me to take it away?"

"No problem at all."

Pang Yonglin didn't say much, Chen Yang's request was reasonable.

"Also, I want to borrow Pang Zhibin for a while."

Chen Yang's sudden words confused Pang Yonglin.

"Xiao Chen..."

"I can let this matter go, but it can't end like this. The person hiding behind the scenes must be caught, don't you think?" Chen Yang patted the box in his hand.

Pang Yonglin is not stupid either, he knows what he wants to do.

He simply wanted to use Pang Zhibin to lure out the person behind the scenes.

"Will there be any danger?"

"It's just asking him to put something there, what's the danger?"

Pang Yonglin hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Of course you can, but you have to get Bin Wazi's consent."

"It's natural."

"Do you need help from the village?"

"No, if there are too many people, it will easily alert the enemy."

……

-

The next day.

When the old man learned about what happened last night and understood what happened, he was also saddened.

The old man was not going to pursue the matter with Pang Zhibin. After all, it was understandable. It was not easy for a family like that to have a college student.

Chen Yang showed him what was in the box.

After reading it, Chen Jingzhi just shook his head repeatedly.

That booklet should be a diary, perhaps written by Blind Pang, but the contents were badly damaged and it was really hard to make out anything.

……

The weather was nice today, so Chen Yang called Zhang Yafeng and asked him to find some people and bring some cement bricks and stones to rebuild Blind Pang's tomb.

At noon, the grave was dug up, the coffin opened, and the remains collected.

Chen Jingzhi did it personally. After all, he had worn mourning clothes for Blind Pang in the past, so he could be considered his grandson.
