Chapter 43: The Pursuit of the Golden Fugitive II
The Big Belly River is not too far from the Dao River, and it will take you half a day to walk quickly.
Xiaobao goes over the mountains and mountains, and it doesn't matter if there is a road or not.
The China Eastern Railway entered from Manchuria, crossed the entire northeast, and then exited through the Suifen River. For Russia, it is 2,000 kilometers closer than the train journey around Heilongjiang.
This railway was strategically important for both Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union.
After the establishment of Manchukuo, under pressure from the Japanese, the Soviet Union sold the Eastern Railway to the South Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd.
The Japanese built a railway to the south in Suixi, a few dozen kilometers west of Suifenhe Station of the Middle Eastern Railway, and built it all the way to the Dao River. This railway is mainly used for the transportation of timber.
Xiaobao also took the train on this railway after his mission. And he knew that there was a forest farm for the Jews in Schidelsky near the Dao River. And there are also the forest police of Belarus.
If Du Laosan is looking for Lao Maozi, he should be looking for them. But why do you say you are looking for it at the station? Xiaobao couldn't figure it out. The most important question is where the gold comes from.
No matter what, Du Laosan will kill Du Laosan if he has gold on him. Whoever has it will be killed. It's best to hide behind and sneak in.
There are only two ways for rich people to go: spend a lot of money and hire a few or a dozen gunners to take care of their homes and hospitals, or pretend to be poor. Don't show anything yellow, or your beard will bite you like a mosquito sucking blood. Like crazy.
Xiaobao is like crazy now.
He doesn't care if the information is reliable or not, or what the actual situation is. He doesn't care about anything. He just pounced.
Walking to the troubled branches, Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief. From here there is a road to the Dao River. You don't have to go over the mountains like you used to.
Xiaobao pulled the water bead rifle out of the leather barrel again and checked it. This gun is the Mosin Nagant rifle, which is also ubiquitous in the Northeast as the Russian power enters the Northeast. Beards are willing to use it because it is durable and accurate.
Xiaobao inserted the gun into the leather barrel again and carried it on his back. Take out a handful of fried soybeans and eat them as you go. When you are thirsty, grab a handful of snow to quench your thirst.
Xiaobao has already walked this road twice. It is still sixty miles away from the Dao River. This is a piece of cake for Xiaobao.
Dongning was the focus of the Kwantung Army's defense, and three elite divisions were deployed in one county. But I'm not afraid to meet the Japanese, Xiaobao has a document on him.
When it was dark, Xiaobao arrived at the small camp. There are only about a dozen families in the small land camp. If you want to find a big car shop, there is no door, and most of the people who work in the nearby forest farm live here.
Northeast people often say that it is not easy to go out.
At this time, most people blew out the lights and went to sleep. Xiaobao still knocked on the door of a house very easily. Appearing at the door was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
"Big brother, I'm going to Daohe. If you miss time, can you let me borrow it for the night tonight? Xiaobao asked with a smile.
The middle-aged man was embarrassed and said, "There is a kang in the house, and everyone is full of sleep." Why don't I spread grass on the floor of the outhouse and you'll spend the night? ”
Xiaobao hurriedly said: "That's good." That's it. After saying that, he shoved a dollar into the man's hand. You can't give more, and giving more is easy to get into trouble.
The man let Xiaobao into the house, and went out to bring back a bundle of thatch. Spread the thatch out on the side of the pot.
"I'm sorry, big brother. The elderly, children, and daughter-in-law at home are all asleep, and it is inconvenient to say otherwise. Just leave it at that. The man said.
"That's bothering you enough." Xiaobao hurriedly smiled.
The man closed the door and turned to enter the house.
Xiaobao lay on the thatch, rested his head on the roe deer leather tube, put the sheepskin jacket on his body and quickly fell asleep.
Before dawn, Xiaobao woke up and got up to get ready to go.
Hearing the noise, the man came out of the back room.
"I'll give you something to eat!" The man said cheerfully. After speaking, he went out and came back with a dozen pieces of chopping wood. Grab a handful of thatch and put it in the pit, and take the fire sickle to make a fire.
Xiaobao hurriedly took out a match and handed it over.
"Gee, that's a rarity." The man took it with a smile and lit the thatch with a match. He put a few more pieces of chopping wood on it.
Then the firelight, Xiaobao saw a thin face with a full beard.
"I really couldn't arrange for you last night. There are two quilts at home, one for the old man and the old lady, and one for my daughter-in-law and me, plus two children. Alas, poor. No way. The man said.
A boy of seven or eight years old jumped out of the room, two bare legs exposed under his torn pants.
Xiaobao took out a handful of fried soybeans from his pocket and handed it to the child.
The child was pleasantly surprised and ran into the back room. After a while, a little girl timidly walked out and looked at Xiaobao with blank eyes.
Xiaobao took out another handful of fried soybeans and handed it to her.
"Makes you laugh, big brother. The clothes are all in tatters, and my wife is embarrassed to go out. Throw it off. The whole family is dressed better, and there is no way to go out to earn money. The man smiled innocently.
"Big brother. Didn't you see an old Maozi passing by here yesterday? Xiaobao asked.
"No," the man said after a moment's thought.
The boy heard the conversation between the two men and ran out and said, "I saw it yesterday afternoon." I was playing on the side of the road, and a carriage pulled four or five old hairy people south. ”
"I'm also from the south, why haven't I met?" Xiaobao asked puzzled.
"There are two roads to the south in the small ground camp. One goes to the branch ditch, and the other goes to the second ditch. Which path are you taking? The man asked.
"I'm from the troubled branches. Are you saying that they are going south to Erdaogou? Xiaobao asked.
"It should be," the man replied.
"Are they all old hairy?" Xiaobao turned his face and asked the boy.
"It's not the one who is driving the car," the boy replied.
That's right, the one who drove the car should be Du Laosan. But why didn't you go back to Datuchuan instead of taking Erdaogou? Xiaobao couldn't figure it out.
The water boiled, and the man took out a large cake and put it on the curtain in the pot and covered the pot again.
Xiaobao was a little restless, and he should hurry up or he wouldn't be able to catch up.
"Why don't I give you a ride? There is a plough at home, but there is no horse, so I have to borrow it, but I ...... the money. "Men can't open their mouths when it comes to money.
"Big brother, money is easy to say. I'm looking for them in a hurry. It's better for you to borrow a horse now, I'm in a hurry! Xiaobao said eagerly. After speaking, he hurriedly took out twenty yuan and handed it to the man.
The man took the money and smiled at Xiaobao and turned around and went out.
Xiaobao hurriedly followed, "Big brother borrows a better horse, don't be afraid to spend money!" Xiaobao shouted from behind.
As soon as the tea was done, the man came back with a tall mule.
"A mule is stronger than a horse." The man said to Xiaobao. He put the mule on the plough and laid thatch on the plough.
Xiaobao came out of the house with a large cake in his hand. He broke the bread in half and handed it half to the man. "Big brother, it's too late. Let's eat while walking."
