April 1945, silver mining area.

Ji Wen stood on the top of the large mine, overlooking the huge project, and he couldn't remember exactly when he was "invited" here......

Ji Wen, ancestral home Dongying, his ancestors in the Ming Dynasty for the Japanese Kou, landed on the coast of our country, and then fell in love with a fisherman's daughter, since then incognito, sealed the knife and distributed.

The Ji family did business in City B during the Qing Dynasty, and the unique roasted tea skills and Japanese language of the ancestors of Fusang have been passed down from generation to generation.

In Ji Wen's generation, there has been a change, he has learned family skills since he was a child, but when he grew up, he was not interested in roasting tea and selling tea.

During the Republic of China, a young man from a well-to-do family stayed abroad at his own expense and learned the skills of exploration and mining.

In 1924, he returned from studying abroad in high spirits, and at the age of 23, he became a teacher in the Department of Civil Engineering at Tohoku University.

It can be created to make people, and there are no eggs under the nest......

In 1931, because he was good at Japanese and proficient in mining, he was taken captive by the Kwantung Army and became a technical adviser to the mining unit of the Kwantung Army stationed in Shicheng County.

In order to protect his parents and wife, Ji Wen can only choose to forbear.

Baiyin Village, during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was originally the hunting ground of the emperor's family, and was developed into a silver mine at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Ji Wen is the developer of this endless wealth, but this wealth eventually drifts across the ocean and falls into the hands of others......

Fast forward to 1945, and 44-year-old Kiwen was standing around the pit to explore a safe tunnel route.

Just as he moved to the top of the mine, he suddenly felt a slight tremor under his feet, Ji Wen thought that he had encountered an earthquake, and hurriedly flew to the far end of the mine, lying on the grass, he was about to get up and run again, and suddenly there was no sense of trembling at all......

Ji Wen cautiously turned back and stood still......

Suddenly, as if he had gone crazy, he ran around the huge mine, but his eyes were fixed on where he was standing.

Can't be wrong, can't be wrong......

Broken......

The snow melts in the spring, the soil and stone structure is softened, and the mountain has been drilled into too many caves, which has reached the limit, and any more wanton mining will inevitably cause a huge collapse.

Hundreds of innocent miners live in this large pit, and if there is a major collapse, the pit will be turned into a living grave in an instant......

The more Ji Wen thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he hurried to the township and told the situation truthfully to Noda, the commander of the Kwantung Army stationed there.

Noda sent a telegram to Kishiya, the governor of the prefecture at the time, explaining the situation.

Noda ordered Kifumi to return to the mining area and wait for the notice, and Kifumi knew in his heart that the time for a choice had come......

How could this group of devils with guns treat people as human beings, in their eyes, the lives of these hundreds of people are not even worth a piece of silver ore.

After giving the order to stop work for a short time, Kiwen locked himself in his office and smoked cigarettes one after another......

The family of a technical person like him, who is proficient in Japanese and understands mining, was given "special" care by the Kwantung Army.

As soon as there is any sign of it, Ji Wen will lose everything in an instant.

Ji Wen smoked all the cigarettes in the cigarette case, and the smoke curling on his fingertips did not allow him to find the answer to this difficult question.

This is a multiple-choice question, but there is no standard answer, and no matter which answer he chooses, his final result is actually loss.

Dizzy, well, just stop thinking about it.

Ji Wen rubbed his temples and moved to the window to stand still......

Due to the needs of work, Ji Wen's office was built on a high foundation raised by slag, and there were four soldiers living next door, which can be regarded as the management of the mining area.

It was noon now, and Ji Wen was standing in front of the window, seeing the crowd below, so it was not lively.

It turned out to be a group of workers having a party in a large open space.

Ji Wen hurriedly opened the window, and the melodious Korean folk songs floated in, high-pitched and enthusiastic.

The workers, who are very tired on weekdays, finally steal half a day of leisure, and they are so full of joy.

It turns out that even in a tragic situation, everyone still retains such a strong enthusiasm for life.

Behind these hundreds of people are hundreds of families, who are the pillars of the family and the hope of the elderly, children, and wives......

If the silver mine collapses, so many families will be shattered in an instant, I really don't dare to think about it.

Since his captivity, Ji Wen has always insisted on not having children, no matter how urged by his parents, he insisted.

Because he expected that sooner or later there would be such a day, those scenes that recurred in his dreams......

He has lived a very aggrieved life all these years, and he knows in his heart what his former teachers, colleagues, friends, and students will say about him.

Yes, this is the most terrible dream......

Who doesn't want to be a hero, and as a scholar, who doesn't have some pride......

But the fetters, the damned fetters, the responsibilities of the Son of Man and the Husband, shattered his arrogance every life.

And now, at the crossroads of fate, the blood flowing in Ji Wen's body is boiling.

Ji Wen straightened his clothes and walked out of the office, went down the dirt slope, and blended into the crowd to look at the performers singing and dancing in the middle of the crowd......

"Ji Gong is here, let's go over and drink one, Xiao said that the wine sent out during the New Year, everyone still has a lot of miles left......"

A group of foremen Lao Jin said.

The workers privately called Ji Wen a "lackey", and only the three foremen who had a work intersection with him knew that he had been fighting for the welfare of the workers.

Otherwise, where would everyone get these drinks......

Ji Wen groaned slightly, nodded and replied:

"Okay, let's go......"

Lao Jin hurriedly took his hand, guided him, and came to the foremen's table and sat down.

Lao Yang, the foreman of the second group, hurriedly ran into the house and took out a pair of dishes and chopsticks and put them in front of Ji Wen, saying:

"Ji Gong, don't be dirty, just use it, that's it......"

Ji Wen nodded with a smile and said:

"Anything that can be washed away with water is not called dirty. ”

After speaking, he picked up the wine bottle, poured himself half a bowl of wine, raised the bowl and said:

"At work, Ji Wen offended the three of them, and the boss in his heart didn't want to go, so I made amends to the three brothers here, I did you at will!"

After speaking, as soon as he raised his head, he took a big sip of "grunt", and poured the half bowl of soju into his stomach.

The three of them said yes together, and they all drank the wine in the bowl.

After everyone finished drinking, Ji Wen lowered his voice and asked:

"You ...... Homesick?"

"Think, think tightly......"

The three replied.

"Want to go home?"

Kiwen asked.

"Think, every moment of every day. ”

Then go home, and everyone goes. ”

Ji Wen said softly.

In the surprised looks of the three of them, Ji Wen told everyone about the crisis of the silver mine.

"Then these little devils, can they still ignore our lives and deaths?"

Xiao Li, the foreman of the third group, asked in horror.

"What the hell Gu, in the eyes of these beasts, our lives are not as valuable as a stone......"

Lao Yang lit a cigarette and said fiercely.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and the sound of motorcycles came from afar, from far to near.

Ji Wen hurriedly greeted him......

The remaining three all looked solemn and did not say a word.

After a while, the sound of the motorcycle faded away, and Ji Wen pinched a stack of electric newspapers, stared at the contents on it, and sat down hatefully.

Lao Jin glanced sideways, it was all Japanese, and he couldn't understand it.

In fact, even Chinese, he couldn't read a few words......

"Tell us we have to start tomorrow. ”

Ji Wen folded the newspaper, put it in his breast pocket, took something out of his pocket, put it in his hand, and played with it.

This thing is the Bloody Eye Jade, and the Bloody Eye is the totem of its ancestor, the Dongying Samurai Family.

It means insight and decisiveness.

Ji Wen looked up at the mine, and then looked around at the people around him......

With his eyes slightly open, he said to the three of them:

"Either we will survive together, or we will be smashed and flattened together......"

"Tell me, we need to do something. ”

Lao Yang said.

"Grab the gun, hold the mine, and wait for the opportunity to ......"

Ji Wen knew very well that these hundreds of people were mighty, and before they could run out of Jisheng Township, they would be completely annihilated by the reinforced Kwantung Army.

Starting work is death, and escaping is also death, and this is the only way to do it today......

…………

The Kwantung Army's defense in the Northeast is far less dense than in film and television dramas, which is restricted by the number of the Kwantung Army and the vast land area of the three northeastern provinces.

There is a silver mine in Jisheng Township, Rao is like this, and the strength deployed in Jisheng Township is really limited, and the twelve members of the Noda team suppressed the entire township.

If it weren't for the mines here, Jisheng Township would never have devils to arm them.

The people who control the vast majority of the Northeast are called the Imperial Army.

Northeasterners call it "Ergouzi".

The silver mining area is equipped with four devils and twelve "two dogs".

Ji Wen lowered his plan and told the three people.

What the four of them didn't expect was that in the tent behind Ji Wen, one person listened to the conversation of the four of them truly......

The little devils' room is on the east side of Ji Wen's room, and further east is the room of the Imperial Army.

Tomorrow, before the change of guard, if the guns cannot be collected, they will be defeated.

"Let's get started, without further ado......"

Ji Wen trembled and took out a bunch of keys and handed them to Lao Jin.

"Go for it......"

Lao Jin hesitated for a moment, nodded violently, and walked towards the cage in the corner of the west side of the mining area.

Inside the cage is a yellow dog that Ji Wen has raised for many years.

Lao Jin is a Korean ethnic and has the ability to slaughter dogs and cook meat.

Lao Yang went to secretly look for a short blade to be suitable.

Xiao Li is responsible for controlling the situation and stabilizing the Imperial Army, and if these three foremen disappear at the same time, it will inevitably attract the attention of these people.

Several people performed their duties, and a self-rescue operation was quietly launched......

…………

In the evening, the breeze carries the smell of meat, smearing the entire silver mining area.

It's so fragrant, the smell of dog meat.

The main brand of the army will only symbolically go around the lower mining area at two o'clock in the morning and evening, and the rest of the time will be patrolled back and forth by this group of "imperial cooperation troops".

Lao Jin cut off a dog's hind leg and gave it to the patrolling "Imperial Army" with a sneer

"You've eaten it, so we're embarrassed!"

Captain Bai of the "Imperial Cooperative Army", wearing his hat crookedly, took the dog's leg with a smile and said.

"It's all there, there's a lot of meat here, honor you, it's a good fit!"

Lao Jin said with a smile.

The rest of the dog meat was distributed to the workers, and the rest was carried by Lao Yang and walked to the top of the slope.

"Ji Gong, here we are!"

Old Kim stood at the door of the devil and shouted.

There was laughter in the room, and after a while, Ji Wen opened the door.

"Come in, the military masters are getting impatient. ”

Ji Wen smiled and welcomed the two in.

"Master Jun, this is our filial piety to you. ”

After the two put the dog meat on the table, Lao Jin took out a treasure from his pocket and respectfully handed it to the devil in charge.

This treasure is none other than the Bloody Eye Jade.

The devil happily accepted it, gave a thumbs up and praised it, and enthusiastically kept the two.

In this way, the four devils, Ji Wen and others, drank freely.

At first, the three of them just talked to the cup, and Ji Wen and the little devil talked and laughed, so happy.

After three rounds of drinking, Jin Yang and the two only saw each other, and the four little devils hugged each other and cried bitterly.

In the depths of love, he actually sang a song.

The two thought to themselves that these devils must have missed their hometown, and they couldn't help themselves before they did this funny act.

Then it was much easier, and the four devils pushed their own cups to change their lamps, completely ignoring the three aliens.

Of course, the three of them were not idle, Yang Jin and the others were responsible for pouring wine and lighting cigarettes, while Ji Wen was responsible for accompanying the crying......

The drink lasted until nine o'clock in the middle of the night before it stopped.

Only a skeleton of the dog meat was left on the table, and the devils were already full of wine and food, lying on the table, and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ji Wen nodded to the remaining two, and Lao Yang picked up the bamboo pole standing by the wall, picking up the dog meat, pulled out one end of the wooden stopper, and three daggers fell out with a bang.

"Without further ado, let's do it!"

Lao Yang picked up the dagger on the ground and distributed it to Jin Ji and the others.

The three of them were heartbroken, and the lives of the three devils were killed in an instant......

It's just that Ji Wen is a scholar after all, inexperienced and a little panicked, and he didn't have the strength to go down with the first knife, and he forgot to cover the devil's mouth.

The devil screamed, and Ji Wen hurriedly made up for it......

An exclamation sounded in the house, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the three of them were frightened and turned their heads to look......

The last devil named Ding Ci took out his gun and pointed it at the three of them viciously.

Lao Jin ran towards Ding Ci quickly with a dagger, Ji Wen said badly, and hurriedly reached out and touched the waist of the devil in front of him.

"Bang ......"

With a crisp gunshot, Lao Jin snorted and fell to the ground......

"Don't move!"

Ji Wen took out the gun from the devil and hurriedly aimed the muzzle of the gun at Ding Ci.

Ding Ci was helpless and raised his hands high.

When Lao Yang saw Lao Jin's corpse, his heart was a little timid.

Lao Yang came to Ding Ci tremblingly, and was about to grab the weapon with his open hand, but was caught by Ding Ci's backhand and held the gun against his temple......

Ding Ci confronted Ji Wen, the residual warmth of the muzzle stimulated Lao Yang's nerves, and his heart was about to rise to his throat.

Ji Wen was obviously negotiating something with Ding Ci, but Lao Yang was afraid and angry.

He couldn't understand a word of the communication between the two in front of him......

There was a sense of despair in the air.

…………

was at a stalemate, when suddenly a man's voice came from outside the door.

"Taijun, are you okay?"

As soon as Ding Ci heard this, he replied in a loud voice in broken Chinese:

"Come in, come in!"

The door slowly opened, and the man who had broken the balance finally appeared.

Captain Bai arrived with four of his men, armed with guns.

"Take it!"

The four people behind him rushed up in unison and snatched Ji Wen's gun.

Ji Wen looked up to the sky and roared, knowing that since he had alarmed these people, the defeat was decided, and he had no power to return to the sky, and it was in vain to increase the killing.

Ji Wen and Lao Yang were each tied by the two of them and pressed on the table.

Ding Ci ran over in a rage, picked up the knife on the table, and tried to stick it in the backs of the two.

"Taijun, I can't help it, I can't help it,"

Captain Bai grabbed Ding Ci's wrist and said.

"In such a situation, Captain Noda will ask tomorrow, we will not be able to escape the responsibility, and it is the best policy to leave the two of them alive and hand them over to the old man for torture. ”

Ding Ci's eyes widened, he looked at Captain Bai, and then at his dead brother, and sighed:

"Okay...... Well......"

Captain Bai took the dagger in Ding Ci's hand, and Ding Ci walked towards the door in a dejected manner, ready to rush to the township to report the situation.

As soon as he took a step, he suddenly felt a cold vest, and a dagger passed through his heart......

"Little book, go die!"

Captain Bai said fiercely.

After kicking Ding Ci's corpse, he hurriedly gave his subordinates a look, and his subordinates let go of Ji Yang and the others with a brush.

"You ......"

Ji Wen had tears in his eyes, he had just walked away from the ghost gate, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak at this moment.

"Don't say it, I know it, I heard the conspiracy of the four of you before,"

Captain Bai grabbed Ji Wen's hand and continued:

"Chinese do not kill Chinese!"

As soon as the eight characters came out, everyone in the house cheered in unison.

You can hold us down for a while, but there's one thing you have to remember.

The soul of China will never collapse!

…………

When everyone under the pit heard the gunshot, they all ran out of the tent, and at this moment the silver mining area had become a pot of porridge......

"Go to the radio room, quick!"

Ji Wen said, running towards the radio room, and Captain Bai took the rest of the people to guard the exit of the mining area.

On the radio, Ji Wen talked about the silver mine crisis, as well as the causes and consequences of tonight's incident.

There was jubilation in the mining area, and the devils in their hands were something they couldn't even think of.

Who does not hate this herd?

Kiwen and the others were armed and lay on both sides of the road at the entrance to the mine, waiting for the enemy to come and change shifts the next day.

Early the next morning, the devil who came to change shifts was shot in a daze.

At this point, the Noda team, including the captain, a total of thirteen people, has been annihilated by more than half of them at this moment.

This devil can't believe that those weak Chinese dare to kill him......

Hundreds of people and eighteen guns poured into Jisheng Township together, annihilating all the Noda team.

But Ji Wen and the others knew that an even bigger storm was coming......

…………

In the next few days, it was surprisingly peaceful, and it turned out that all the soldiers stationed in Shicheng County at this time had been transferred back to their homeland to defend against the enemy.

After the workers were dismissed, Ji Wen and others also hid in the market......

Of course, Ji Wen has lost his parents and lover since then.

The silver mining area has undergone several natural collapses to form the bowl-like shape it is today.

After 1949, fields were planned here, and some villagers gradually moved in, and the silver mining area became today's silver village.

It's peaceful, but no one knows the secret of this silver mining area.

…………

Ji Wen felt that he had lost his integrity and had no shame to be a teacher anymore, so he returned to his old business, roasted tea and sold tea in City B, the business was booming, he married a wife, and gave birth to a son at the age of forty, named Jincheng, and then got a daughter at the age of fifty, named Meizi.

Captain Bai also changed his name, coerced his wife and children to come to City B to join Ji Wen, and with Ji Wen's help, he opened a small restaurant.

Later, Ji Bai and the others took the lead and established a business village, which was incorporated into the nine elements, helping each other and advancing and retreating together.

Jijia Tea is the first of the merchants, and Baijia Food is second.

When the two old men went, Bai Hongsheng's father was unwilling to live in the second place of Ji Jincheng, who was more than ten years younger than him.

In the 80s of the 20th century, the Ji family's family history was used by the Bai family to make a fuss, and together with the Shen family, who was also a tea shop, they sang and harmonized, bewitched everyone, and expelled the Ji family from Shangzhuang Jiuxing.

The young Kimiko was taken by the housekeeper and fled to the south with hatred, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

The owner of the white village sat firmly in the top spot of the business village, and Ji Meizi, a weak woman, was gradually forgotten by everyone......

Until the old housekeeper passed away three years ago, he returned the telegram and the Bloody Eye Jade to the old Kimiko......

Kimiko sneaked back to City B, hibernated in Changjia Pharmaceutical Factory under a pseudonym, and became Boss Chang's secretary.

After three years of layout, the newspaper with a picture of the bloody eye jade was discovered by Boss Chang......

The older generation of Shangzhuang, who does not know the value of this piece of jade, and wants to take it back from Maozi, it must be the two thieves of Maling.

After the second thief faked his death, Ji Meizi arranged a stand-in, Fan Liu couldn't see his face, thinking that the bodies of the two were bitten by dogs and wolves.

After Yang Qiu made trouble with the business, the ambition of the wolf son of the Bai family was fully revealed, and he swallowed the medicine store Tu Xing and Lei Erwei's business.

At this point, all the nine elements of Shangzhuang fell into the middle of the river......

Gu Lei and the others are not fuel-efficient lamps, and there is a mysterious person behind them, summoning fresh blood to form a new force to compete with the shops under the merchant house.

The nine lines of the merchant village are centrifugal to the back, each with their own thoughts, and Da Mao and the owner of the white village were killed and died, and the rest of the people were also closed for trading......

The once-famous merchant village ended up like this, which can't help but make people sigh......

…………

"So, did you kill Da Mao?"

Yang Qiu said fiercely.

"How, we can't be sure who killed him......"

Ma Lao Avenue.

"Gu Wuji and Lei Erwei seem to have evaporated from the world, and we are also secretly looking for them. ”

Hu Lao Erdao.

"Then why did you come to me to kill my bad luck?"

Yang Qiudao.

"If you think too much, if you want to kill your mouth, you will die a hundred times. ”

Hu Lao Er said coldly.

"Then why are you doing this to me?"

"Blood-Eyed Jade...... Only by returning the Bloody Eye Jade to Ji Meizi can this matter be over, and the two of us can share the silver mountain with her equally......"

"Silvermountain, dream sweetly, if silver could still be mined in that mine, we would have been rich a long time ago, how could we get you outsiders?"

Yang Qiu sneered.

Ma Lao Da was about to say something, but was hurriedly stopped by Hu Lao Er......

Hu Lao Er said again:

"If you want to take care of your children and brothers, please be sure to follow my instructions......"

"You want to blackmail me, is that all you have to do?"

Yang Qiu said in a low voice, he knew that he had no capital to negotiate conditions......

"You have to believe that the two of us are for your own good, remember what we said, if you still want to do something for Da Mao......"

Boss Ma said.

"Don't talk about big brother, we have to go......"

Ma Lao Er said hello, and Yang Qiu was taken out again......

Boss Ma drove away.

When the moon was in the sky, Yang Qiu moved to the side of the car like a ghost, opened the car door, and returned to the car.

"Let's go......"

Suddenly, in the seat behind him, a man's voice was heard.

This ghostly voice startled Yang Qiu into a cold sweat.

He hurriedly looked into the rearview mirror.

"It's ...... you"

The car whizzed and disappeared into the darkness.
