When she arrived at Liushuhezi, Shuzhen said that she would not enter the city.

Shoko knew that she didn't want to show off, so she didn't force it. just ran into the house in a hurry, hugged Xiao Haiqi and made love.

Xiangzi, escorting two bandits back with gunshot wounds, really gave County Magistrate Liu an unexpected surprise. He looked a little excited and said, "This is good, this is good." Hurry up and put up a notice to get the bandits up and down the street. That is, it has a deterrent effect on the bandits, and at the same time, it also gives an explanation to the squires and people who have been harmed by the bandits. ”

After a pause, County Magistrate Liu looked helpless again, and said: "Don't you know, the Sun family outside the north gate has beaten the old man to let the bandits give disaster, and his family has come to urge the bandits to take revenge for three days, and they came here yesterday morning." ”

Seeing that Xiangzi was just smiling and silent, he asked as if he suddenly remembered something, "When are you going to go to Ganhezi?" I've got all the strips and coils ready. ”

Xiangzi said unhurriedly: "I plan to leave the day after tomorrow." ”

County Magistrate Liu asked with concern: "Do you want to bring more people?" I heard that the cards in the Ganhezi area are very difficult, and the official documents in the county do not work at all. It's not easy to take so many guys out of Ganhezi, but I can't let them pick up the cheap. ”

Xiangzi smiled slightly, as if he was confident, and said, "I'll just go with Zhao Xiaotian's iron egg." As for the stuck thing, I've figured out a solution. You can open a Wang brother, go to the Ganhezi Coal Mine, and transport back the proof of the eldest brother's body. ”

County Magistrate Liu groaned slightly. Then, he pointed at Xiangzi with a smile and said, "Just count your ghost ideas." These days, I'm still grieving about it. ”

Xiangzi smiled at him and said, "You have to bring more coils, and you have to buy a coffin when you go to Santai." ”

County Magistrate Liu snorted coldly, and said with a smile: "Look at what I said about being stingy, and you are very rich." If you talk about one coffin, you can't use up even three. ”

The words had been spoken, and County Magistrate Liu felt that something was wrong. Busy with a somewhat disguised smile, said: "Look, you see, this is happy, so he will say something biased, and he will be jealous." ”

Xiangzi, with a look of indifference, said, "When we come back, we will really have three coffins." ”

Then, he said that he planned to bury the bones of the three people who had been buried by the charcoal kiln and brought them back by the way and reburied them. County Magistrate Liu said approvingly: "It should be, it should be." ”

After a pause, he said as if jokingly: "People can't stand in vain for three or four years, right?" ”

Shoko smiled and nodded.

The three Xiangzi brothers, driving a carriage, arrived at Santai Town just after noon.

Xiangzi first found a noodle restaurant, and Meimei Dun pulled noodles. I bought another stack of Uyghur naan, and then walked towards the street.

Shoko knew that there was a coffin shop there. When the carriage stopped in front of the shop, Zhao Xiaotian and Tie Dan looked at Xiangzi with puzzled faces. Xiangzi chose a black lacquered coffin and paid for it, smiled at the two who were still confused, and said, "Carry it into the car, and I'll tell you more on the way." ”

The two had no choice but to stuff their heads and carry the coffin into the car with the shop guys.

When I got out of town, I turned onto the main road in the suburbs. Xiangzi looked serious and said, "From now on, we are brothers of the Wang family. The eldest brother was killed in the Ganhezi Coal Mine, and we are going to transport the body of the eldest brother. ”

Seeing the two of them, they were still full of clouds. Xiangzi smiled slightly, and then said: "Ganhezi checkpoint is tight, I don't want to find a way, I can't transport the weapon, don't say it, if I can't get it, even people have to catch it." Therefore, we must play this play well. ”

It was only now that the two of them understood Shoko's intentions. The two of them didn't say anything anymore, and they all listened to Xiangzi's arrangement.

The three of them talked and laughed, and before they knew it, the sun was already red on the distant mountain.

The wilderness in front of him suddenly seemed dark.

The mosquitoes, which had been dormant for a day, poured out their nests and rushed towards the three of them. Tie Dan hurriedly jumped out of the car and allocated some artemisia seeds to the two of them on the side of the road.

The three of them began to shake the artemisia seeds in their hands non-stop, driving away the mosquito swarms that were tenacious and unyielding. The three of them wandered in the carriage all night.

The sun had just warmed up, and I saw a few tired figures shaking in front and back on the Ganhezi Bridge in the distance, blocking the wooden horse fence.

Tie Dan turned around and patted it with his hand, and Dongfang Fangbai had just fallen asleep in a daze, and said in a nervous voice: "Come to the checkpoint." ”

Shoko sat up in confusion, rubbed her eyes and looked ahead, and yawned a few times in a row.

Zhao Xiaotian, who was still asleep, said: "Remember all the words taught on the road, right?" ”

Seeing that the two of them nodded seriously, they continued: "You must pretend to be cowardly when you pass the card, no matter how they toss, you can't stare at others." ”

As he spoke, he was already able to see the soldier's face. The people at the checkpoint seemed to have spotted the approaching carriage.

He picked up his gun and stared coldly at the people in the car.

Approaching, two soldiers walked behind the wooden horse fence, and shouted with an arrogant look: "Where are you going this early in the morning?" ”

Xiangzi hurriedly jumped out of the car, told him with a smile on his face that he was going to collect the body of his eldest brother, and handed over the certificate issued by the county with both hands.

The soldier casually glanced at the proof, waved his hand at the iron egg and Zhao Xiaotian on the car, and shouted with an impatient look: "Come and check!" ”

As he spoke, two more people came up, touched the three of them up and down, and opened the coffin to look at it, only then did he yawn again and again, and said, "Do you understand the rules?" ”

Xiangzi hurriedly took out ten yuan, stuffed it into the man's hand, and said with a sneer: "The boss is working hard, buy a bottle of wine to drink." ”

The man snickered on his face and shouted at the's throat, "Let it go!" ”

Not far from the card, beside the road lined with boulders, a clear river meandered out.

Xiangzi and the others stopped under a big tree to rest their horses and enjoy the cool water of the river.

Xiangzi, while chewing on the water-soaked dried naan in her mouth, looked into the distance, trying to recall the shadow of the year.

He has an impression of this small river, and according to his memory, not far ahead, there should be a fork in the road to the south.

Seeing that the people and horses were almost resting, Xiangzi urged him to hurry. The fork in the road back then has vaguely become a pasty shadow. The perennial rain washes and the remnants of the path, barely showing the traces of the carriage running over in the past.

Although the destruction of the trail made it difficult for Shoko to identify, it also gave him a message of peace of mind. It shows that it is still inaccessible and the goods are safe.

Bypassing an earthen beam, Shoko was pleased to see the mouth of the ditch entering the mountain, and the old elm tree at the entrance.

Shoko jumped out of the car with some excitement and trotted all the way down the ditch.

Turning over the two ravines, Xiangzi saw from afar, in the arms of the cliff, the lonely earth tomb that he embraced.

Shoko suddenly sat on the ground with a slack ass, gasping slightly, and watched the carriage stumble up with difficulty.

Xiangzi was full of energy, pointed to the place where he had temporarily rested, and said to Tiedan: "You pick up some stones to pad here, put the car on the beam, and my eldest brother and I will go up and have a look first." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the cliff in a hurry.

Bypassing the mouth of the stone cliff, I saw that the mouth of the kiln that was filled in that year, the barren grass was dense, and the weathered gravel on the top of the cliff was piled up a lot thicker.

Shoko looked a little excited and said, "The kiln mouth is there, and it seems that no one has touched it." ”

As he spoke, he came to the grave not far away, bowed deeply three times to the grave and said, "Three brothers, hard work." ”

Seeing that Tie Dan had already brought the car up, Xiangzi seemed to be relieved, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry now, trip the horse there to graze, and we will also cushion our stomachs." ”

The three of them were eating dry food and beef jerky, and Xiangzi was full of interest, telling the details of the year and sighing at the creation of fate.

After eating and drinking, the three brothers moved with shovels and shovels, and it didn't take long to see the sealed slate.

Xiangzi exerted all his strength, lifted a bluestone slab, and immediately floated out of the dark hole with a smoldering gas mixed with rotting coal.

Xiangzi frowned, lifted the slate to the side, took a step back, and said, "The miasma is too big, don't lean forward yet." ”

The three of them waited patiently for a while, and Shoko tried to come forward and smell it, feeling that the smell was much smaller. The cat's waist lifted another stone slab.

The noonday sun shone straight down against the stone wall. The wet black cave gradually revealed the bend of the roadway. Xiangzi climbed to the entrance of the cave and sniffed, turned around and said, "Big brother is guarding outside to pick up the goods, and I will go to the kiln with the iron egg." ”

As he spoke, he turned backwards and disappeared into the darkness. Tie Dan was busy learning and followed.

Relying on his memory, Xiangzi groped his way to a narrow bend, took out a foreign fire and lit the oil lamp on the stage.

The pitch-black alleyway suddenly became dim.

Xiangzi crawled along the alleyway for a while, and then came to a hollowed-out charcoal nest. He lit the fire again and lit the oil lamp hanging above his head.

Suddenly there was a bright spot in front of me, and five large green wooden boxes, still the same as before, were lying there quietly. Shoko said happily, "That's it!" Let's move out. ”

So, one person and one head, he carried the wooden box outward.

Back then, these boxes were dragged in by Xiangzi alone, but now the two of them are carrying them, and they feel much lighter. After tossing back and forth a few times, I finally got all the five wooden boxes of size into the cave.

Xiangzi blew out the oil lamp and climbed up to the entrance of the cave, Zhao Xiaotian couldn't wait to open the wooden box.

When I saw the brand new Type 79 rifle, covered with butter and wrapped in oiled paper.

Two Czech light machine guns, baked blue shining blue, so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

Seeing Xiangzi patting the soil on his body and coming over, he seemed to have a treasure, and shouted happily: "These are good guys, if they get on the black market, they will be worth a lot of money." ”

Xiangzi smiled at him and said playfully: "Or, let's take these belongings and go up the mountain to be bandits?" ”

Zhao Xiaotian smiled "hehe" and said, "Look at what the second brother said, I finally washed my body, who would jump into the mud pit again." I just think that I can't give it to the county for nothing. ”

Xiangzi said with a deep smile: "The county's funds are also very difficult, and County Magistrate Liu is unwilling to increase the taxes of the people. We can't hold the gourd and pick the seeds. ”

Zhao Xiaotian still couldn't put it down, put down this, and picked up that again.

He muttered to himself, "It's a good thing, it's a pity." ”

Xiangzi smiled sarcastically at him and said, "Look at your greedy look, when you are busy with the bandits, I will pour you a few shots." ”

Zhao Xiaotian was overjoyed and said, "Is this almost the same, none of the goods in our hands can compare with this." ”

Shoko looked at him and said, "Who said no?" A few days ago, the four-shot Soviet-made Mosin Nagant 762 rifle left by the bandits was a rare and easy to grab. Not only does it have a long range, but it also has a high accuracy rate, and it can hurt people within 500 meters. ”

Zhao Xiaotian heard this, and shouted disapprehantly: "It's not bad to rob, but the Manchu Communist Party found more than 20 children from the bandits, no bullets, and it's not a burning stick." ”

Shoko smiled at him and said, "There are many bullets, and he has the same bullets as light machine guns." ”

As he spoke, he opened a small wooden box and said, "This is it." ”

Zhao Xiaotian was so surprised that he reached out and grabbed a handful, and shouted happily: "That's it!" That's it! ”

After frolicking for a while, Xiangzi glanced at the sky, and said to Tiedan: "You ride a horse to Ganhezi Town, pull some white cloth, and sew three cloth bags to contain bone stones." Also, bring some back to the coffin. Find a way to buy a black goat, it must be black, and get some melons and fruits, we will stay here for two miles. ”

After sending away the iron egg, Zhao Xiaotian asked Xiangzi with a puzzled face: "Why do you want to buy black?" What do you have to say? ”

Xiangzi smiled weirdly at him and said, "I'm just an idea, let's talk about it then, I have to find a place to nest and sleep well." ”

Zhao Xiaotian asked hesitantly, "Aren't you still going to raise a grave?" ”

Xiangzi lazily muttered, "No hurry, no hurry." More on that tomorrow. ”

As he spoke, he yawned and walked towards the earthen beam not far away.
