Chapter Forty-Eight: Disaster Descends on the Way Out of the Mountain
The group dragged their exhausted bodies and walked slowly through the mountains where there was no road at all. Although there are not many people in the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info it is extremely difficult to manage, and some people have tried to desert and leave the team. However, due to the unfamiliarity of the road and the lack of food, people can still gather together for the time being. After walking for two days, at noon they came to a deserted hill, crossed the river and asked everyone to sit down and rest, and asked Qian Dagui to kill a horse, saying that he would roast horse meat for everyone to eat.
They gathered firewood, lit a fire, and sat around them, all starving, and had nothing to eat for more than a day. As soon as the meat changed color, someone gathered around and tried to tear it.
When he saw that all the people were gathered around, he stood up, took out his gun, and said to the people majestically: "Take out all the gold you have brought with you, write down your name, and put it in my place for safekeeping, and return it to you when you go out of the mountain and reach a safe place. When you go out of the mountain, you will run for your life if you encounter a lock or an officer, and you will have no gold on you, and it will be okay if you are caught. The gold out of the mountain is kept on the counter, this is the old rule, and no one can disobey the order. ”
"This won't work! If you let you go, how can you give it back to us? I can't hand it over to you, I have to take it with me to rest assured. Li Er stood up first and objected.
"I'll talk about it when I cross the river, and I'll give it back to you when I say I'll give it back to you, just remember my own. It's all on you, don't die! Guo Jianglong stared at Li Er's head.
"No, I can't give you anything!" Li Er hugged his clothes with his head tightly.
Guo Jianglong walked up to him, flew up, kicked Li Er's head to the ground, and stepped on his chest with his foot: "Are you afraid that the hidden gold will be exposed?" Dare to take the lead in farting? If you don't hand it over, I'll abolish you immediately! ”
The atmosphere was very tense, Qian Dagui and the mountain monkey pulled the bolt of the gun, staring at everyone fiercely. The hired men did not even dare to come out of the atmosphere, waiting in horror for what was to come.
"Hand them all. Liang Taiye is right, since ancient times, there have been a few people who have brought gold out of the mountain, and not all of them have died because of greed for money. If Dulong Mountain hadn't sent someone to protect us, we would all have to die. Lord Liangtai is a good person, he has always been true to his word, and he will not treat everyone badly. I'll pay it first, and you all pay it too. After Jin Wuye finished speaking, he took out the cloth bag containing gold from his arms, made a mark and handed it to Guo Jianglong. He also thought along the way, Guo Jianglong was young and inexperienced, so he enlarged his eyes like this, and there must be a lot of rats running around. I didn't expect him to come to this hand at this time, he is really shrewd, and you have to be careful when getting along with such a person.
Everyone looked back at Qian Dagui and the mountain monkey, and they all obediently handed over the gold.
"You two also hand it over, and then turn it over one by one, if anyone still hides, I will be beaten to death!" Don't worry, as long as it's not private, I'll give it back to you. Search carefully, Jin Wuye, you have experience, and you will also help you search. Now continue to take the initiative to hand, it's going to move in a while, let them hand it over quickly! Guo Jianglong said to Qian Dagui and the mountain monkey.
Qian Dagui and the mountain monkey also handed over the gold on their bodies, and then ordered everyone to continue to hand it over. When no one handed it in, they carefully looked through them one by one and in the line papers. Sure enough, some people didn't hand it over, and they were beaten to death by the two, and everyone hurriedly handed over the rest of the gold in order to save their lives.
Jin Wuye and Li Er also helped to search, and they have been searching carefully many times, even the most secret places. Especially Li Er's head, when the gold on his body was gone, he sprinkled his anger on the hired workers and searched fiercely. Convinced that there was really nothing left on everyone, the four of them stopped.
Guo Jianglong has been staring at the side, reminding from time to time.
"You guys search each other a few more times. Some people have handed it over, some people are still hiding, it's not fair, it's all been checked. Don't be afraid, search the four of them well, no one wants to hide them, I'll watch you flip! Guo Jianglong ordered again.
I have been tossing for more than an hour, and I am sure that nothing is wrong, so I let Qian Dagui and the mountain monkey cut the horse meat and distribute it to everyone, and roast the horse meat around the fire to eat.
Although the road ahead is still difficult, the personnel are much easier to manage. No one wanted to leave the team anymore, because the gold was all on the back of the dragon's horse. Everyone admired Guo Jianglong's ability to calculate, and in a seemingly relaxed atmosphere, when everyone was defenseless, he easily collected everyone's gold and managed it together.
By the time the crowd starved to an abandoned gold mining site, there was only one dragon left to ride on.
Guo Jianglong asked everyone to clean and settle down the abandoned house. Reluctantly, he walked up to his mount, wiped the dirt off his body from top to bottom, patted it on the head, and suddenly turned around and shot it in the head. The dragon head of the river did not return and left, letting others pick the skin and stew meat.
The crowd ate a full meal, and they all huddled together and lay down to rest. Guo Jianglong called Qian Dagui and the mountain monkey to the front and said to the two: "You two bring food, set off overnight, go to Feng Langzi to change horses, don't tell him anything, go back to Dulong Mountain to report the news, and send more people to pick us up." With so many goods, this large group of people needs to be well protected. The cliff mountain we passed by when we came was waiting for you to take us out of the mountain, and there was no delay on the way. ”
"Can you do it alone? Let the mountain monkeys go on their own, and I'll stay with you. Qian Dagui said.
"No, it's more dangerous to go out of the mountain, you two have a good care, I'm fine alone. Go ahead, it's going to snow this day, go and come back quickly. After Guo Jianglong finished speaking, he sent the two out of the house, and watched the two go away before returning to the house.
"I have sealed this gold, Jin Wuye, you keep it first, and let people carry it when you walk during the day. This thing is too heavy, let everyone take turns to carry it, you can't leave the left and right, these two money partners are our life, we must look at it with good eyes, and we must not make mistakes. Guo Jianglong said to Jin Wuye.
"Can you trust me? Then don't worry, you won't lose your life! Jin Wuye said.
"I believe in you! Go to sleep, you'll have to go tomorrow. After Guo Jianglong finished speaking, he fell asleep.
The next day, at dawn, the people left. Li Er also found two pieces of discarded household goods to take with him, saying that it was good for self-defense on the road.
The group walked unhurriedly through the old forest, getting closer and closer to getting out of the old forest. That night, everyone chose a sunny place to live, lit a fire, boiled some water, and ate the horse jerky they had brought with them.
When it snowed, they found poles and branches, and built pony racks around the fire, and went into them to avoid the snow. Guo Jianglong and Jin Wuye slept in a shed, Jin Wuye put the money containing gold under his head, and the two of them lay down upside down. There was no blockage on either side of the shed, and from time to time snow drifted in and fell on the heads of the two men, both of whom covered their heads with their blankets and curled up to sleep.
Just after midnight, three black shadows touched the shed where Guo Jianglong and Jin Wuye lived from two directions, and one person slashed at Guo Jianglong's head. Jin Wuye was awakened, sat up and shouted, the money on his head was dragged up by two black shadows and ran, and the other person also followed. Everyone was awakened and came out of the shed to see what had happened.
Under the moonlight, seeing that the three people on the snow were stumbling and running very slowly, they were about to run away, and everyone seemed to understand and ran over to chase after them. At this time, I saw a person flying out of the woods, raised the gun in his hand, and with only one shot, he picked up the person who ran to the front, and the two people who followed were startled, and they were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to move.
Guo Jianglong looked over and saw that it was Li Ertou who was killed, and his hands were still tightly holding Qian Erzi. The other two were so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting: "Spare your life!" Spare us, Li Er forced us to do it. ”
At this time, everyone ran over, and when they saw that the two people were so frightened, they also helped to intercede. Jin Wuye and the other two lifted the money pair, walked to Guo Jianglong, knelt down and said, "Spare them!" I can also see that my greedy apprentice has bad intentions and guards against him everywhere, and he deserves to die now. The two of them seem to have been forced, so let them go. ”
"You want to kill me, and you don't deserve to be forgiven! But for the sake of Jin Wuye's face, I will spare you. In the future, whoever remembers evil intentions will be killed! I've been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I've never seen any formations, just rely on your little caution, and you still want to kill me, it's harder than climbing to the sky, go back to sleep! In the future, don't go near the place where Jin Wuye and I live in the dark, be careful that my gun goes off! After Guo Jianglong finished speaking, he put away the gun, helped Jin Wuye and went back to the small shed to sleep.
After this happened, everyone was frightened, and when they slept at night, they were far away from Jiang Long and Jin Wuye, and they didn't dare to go forward, for fear of causing trouble.
During the day, the group walked very slowly, and everyone was so hungry that they had no strength, and they had to rest after walking a few steps. At this time, the footprints of the wild boar were found, and there was pig feces left by the wild boar on the ground. Guo Jianglong walked over and took a look, kicking the pig on the ground with his foot.
"You wait here, and when you hear the gunshots, come and help me." After speaking, Guo Jianglong took out his gun and followed the footprints of the wild boar.
After walking about two bags of cigarettes, in a mountain depression, I saw a group of wild boars eating there, three big and five small. Guo Jianglong slowly approached, aiming his gun at the largest wild boar, and at the moment when the group of wild boars raised their heads vigilantly and prepared to escape, Guo Jianglong's gun rang out. The largest boar fell to the ground, and by the time he was about to fire a second shot, the group had already scattered and disappeared.
When the people heard the gunshots, they all ran to help, dragging the dead boar to the hillside. The dragon of crossing the river allows people to make a fire on the spot and boil wild boar meat in snow. And when the people were starving, and the wild boar was still half-cooked, some people fished it out and ate it.
It was busy until dark, everyone finished eating, rested for a while, crossed the river and asked everyone to divide the remaining wild boar meat equally, and then hurried overnight. It's like this for several days, walking in the dark and sleeping during the day, otherwise sleeping at night will freeze people.
When he came to Cliff Mountain, he crossed the river and asked everyone to stop and wait for someone to come from Dulong Mountain. He arranged everyone to go down the mountain, and he and Jin Wuye went halfway up the mountain to build a shack to live in. In the middle of the night, he called Jin Wuye up, and the two of them took the money on their backs and came to a tree hole on the side of the mountain to hide the gold.
"Why are you hiding?" Jin Wuye asked.
"Hide it first, just in case, and then take it out when the brothers on the mountain come to pick it up." Cross the river dragon replied.
Jin Wuye felt that this was more certain, so he didn't ask anymore. When they had hidden the gold, they went back to their huts and slept.
The next day changed, and after a short time from the morning, it snowed, and everyone hurriedly lit a fire and surrounded it to keep warm. Guo Jianglong and Jin Wuye also lit a fire and sat by the fire and chattered. is about to go out of the mountain, but people's mood is getting more and more nervous, waiting for Dulong Mountain to send someone to pick them up in silent prayer.
When it was getting dark, he heard that someone seemed to be coming in the distance, so he asked the two people under the mountain to run over to take a look.
Not long after the two men walked out, they heard gunshots. Just when everyone was still stunned, a group of Japanese soldiers with guns rushed over, and when they saw people, they opened fire, and immediately several people fell, and those who were not shot also lay on the ground and did not dare to move. It turned out that while they were still chattering, this group of Japanese soldiers had quietly touched them closer. When the dragon saw it, he said, 'It's not good! Pick up Jin Wuye and run up the mountain. When the Japanese soldiers saw this, they chased after them along the mountain and opened fire as they pursued.
Guojianglong hid behind a tree and raised his gun to return fire, and one Japanese soldier was hit, and the others quickly hid and shot at him. In this way, he retreated while fighting back, and seeing that he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Jin Wuye was suddenly hit and fell to the ground. Guo Jianglong fired back a few shots and ran over and held Jin Wuye in his arms. The gun was shot in from the back of the chest, and a big hole was blown up in the front chest, and the blood flowed out, and Jin Wuye was about to die.
"Leave me alone, I can't do it! Run out to my house and see, and give me my share of the gold. Tell my son, go and take care of my frail apprentice, please! You run, I'll block you a little ......" Jin Wuye said with difficulty.
At this time, the gunfire of the Japanese soldiers became denser and closer. Guo Jianglong took out two grenades from his waist and threw one in the direction of the Japanese soldiers. With a 'boom', someone was blown up, and the gunfire immediately stopped. Guo Jianglong handed another grenade into Jin Wuye's hand and said, 'Don't worry! Then he flew to the top of the mountain.
When the dragon crossed the river and looked down the mountain, there were cliffs on three sides, and only the direction of running up could go down the mountain. He didn't have time to think about it, he took out a rope from his waist and hung it on the stone on the edge of the cliff, jumped down, and at the same time heard the explosion of a grenade from Jin Wuye's side.
Less than halfway through, the rope was at the end, and gunshots were heard overhead. Guo Jianglong grabbed the cliff crack with one hand, and threw the rope up with the other hand, and the hook on the cliff fell off, he hooked the hook on the cliff crack at hand, and slipped down the rope again, this time it may be because he was in a hurry, or the hooked stone was loose, Guo Jianglong didn't slip down a few steps, and even the rope fell down. The fall was not light, and the leg that landed first broke with a 'squeak', and his head was buzzed. Ignoring the pain, the dragon struggled to get up from the ground and stumbled into the woods.
Dense gunfire rang out from the hills, and one shot hit him in the shoulder. Guo Jianglong didn't care about anything, he ran with a limp, and he couldn't run anymore so he crawled in the forest, and he didn't dare to stop. In the dark sky, you can't tell the direction at all. Until it was almost dawn, Guo Jianglong was tired, hungry, painful, and cold, and he slipped into the snow with difficulty and fainted......
