Chapter 16: The Robbery

Xu Si was warmed up, feeling like he had slept for almost a day and a night, but when he woke up, he found that it was just past noon, looking out through the window pane, the sun outside was shining on the ground, and his eyes were stinging and painful, and the heaven and earth were as hot as being fired.

Xu Si got down on the kang, the clothes and pants on his body were tightly adhered to his body, he dragged it with his hand, and pulled the trouser leg above the knee, only then did he feel a little more comfortable, he picked up the scoop, and shouted two scoops of water into his stomach, the water was not as cold as Fang Cai, but he hiccuped comfortably in his stomach, with a faint fragrance of red pickles, which was very comfortable.

Xu Si grabbed the wooden bucket, lifted the remaining small half bucket of water above his head, and slowly poured it down the top of his head, the cold water slid down his neck and flowed through his chest and abdomen, and the legs and wrists had become hot, and the sweat on his body disappeared, but his clothes and pants were stuck to his body again, but it was completely different from the feeling of being stuck to the sweat just now, cool and tight, Xu Si took a tattered straw hat and put it on his head, took a deep breath and walked to the world of white flowers outside.

All the way to the east, crossing the boundary river that had become a small ditch, Xu Si's eyes did not look at the black water lying there anymore, because he firmly believed that he might never have to drink the smelly black water in the future.

Walking through the two villages, there is a ruin everywhere, the tree has long been without the appearance of a tree, not only the leaves have been brushed a fine light, but there are not many that can have complete bark, especially the willow and elm trees, all have been stripped of a fine light, only the white elephant bone-like branches stand on the side of the road, the willow tree needless to say, the elm tree has a thin layer of tender skin in the bark, with a knife to chop and wild vegetable leaves or roots on the pot to boil, will form a pot of viscous vegetable porridge, although bitter, but it is better than nothing to eat.

Xu Si has also eaten, it is very hot, you have to wait until it is cold, and children who are greedy often can't wait to drink their stomachs to roll on the ground, and there are also those who die, but that thing can't eat more, otherwise it will have diarrhea more than once, in that year, being sick, it is no different from stepping into the ghost gate.

Walking through a few villages, not to mention people, not even a mouse, let alone chickens, cats, ducks and dogs, walking on the path between the groups, the eight eyes are all gray and yellow, the floating soil on the road is extremely soft, stepping on it can almost not reach the instep, but it exudes high temperature, and the burning foot plate hurts.

When the hottest part of the day passed, and the sun hung lazily in the western sky, Xu Si had already come to a place almost four or five miles away from Luoshan, and from a distance, the originally verdant mountains became like gray and black old men, lying there decadently, quietly watching everything at the foot of the mountain.

There are many legends about this mountain, and the most desirable thing is that this mountain is full of gold, and there is a gold nest on the mountain, if anyone can find it, just lift the stone slab on it, and you can take all the gold under the mountain!

From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many people are fighting the idea of the golden nest, even the Japanese to Zhaoyuan are also to the golden nest, they paved the road from the edge of the boundary river, went upstream, transported the huge iron lump step by step to the mountain, nailed a huge thing with wood day and night, whirring straight around, trying to find the golden nest, and found a large number of feng shui masters from Japan, holding the shelf all over the mountain, digging several large and small holes in the mountain, but did not find the mysterious entrance.

Xu Si heard all these things, Xu Si scoffed at this, the ancestors didn't understand it for several generations, just relying on his little Japan? Those who look at feng shui use a compass, which is a rule handed down by our ancestors for hundreds or even thousands of years. If they can find it, then Xu Si firmly believes that he can find it too, after all, this is on his own territory.

But there are also things that Xu Si admires, it is said that the Japanese hung a cow egg lamp on a thin thread, and after lighting it at night, you can see the needle thrown on the ground! Xu Si has been looking for a chance to see this matter, if it is true, it is a great thing, it is said that the ancestors of the Japanese are the seeds of our ancestors, so their things must have been passed down by our ancestors, but the same ancestors, why did they only pass it to him The Japanese did not leave it to us? In this matter, Xu Si slandered for a long time.

Before I knew it, I had reached the mountain pass, and there were several rooms not far in front of me, and there was a group of people with real guns and ammunition standing next to the house, checking the passers-by, with an arrogant attitude, not beating and scolding.

Xu Si stopped, he was not afraid of being checked, there was nothing to check, but he didn't want to see the faces of that group, they were originally villagers who bowed their heads and didn't look up to see them, but as soon as they put on that skin, they seemed to be the godsons of the Japanese, shouting at five people and six all day long, completely forgetting the ancestors buried in the ground behind them!

Can he stay in Zhaoyuan for a long time? When they leave, can they still remember you, Zhaoyuan's godson? Can I take you with me? If it weren't for you—the corners of Xu Si's mouth couldn't help but smile.

Xu Si raised his head and looked around, barbed wire fences were erected everywhere at the foot of the mountain, meandering and I don't know where to stretch, damn, this is the place where Zhaoyuan is, how can it be like his Japanese backyard! Xu Si scolded fiercely in his heart, he walked north along the barbed wire fence for about a bag of cigarettes, and finally let him see a hole!

The hole was hidden behind a withered pine, about five or six years old as a child, with Xu Si's stature could easily drill through, Xu Si looked back and forth, left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, he took three steps and two steps to the hole, lowered his head, and bowed his waist and drilled through.

Before he could stand up straight, a ** thing was put on the back of his head, and then a voice shouted: "Ba Ge Yalu, what work!" Xu Si's legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground, no wonder there was such a hole, it turned out to be a trap, no matter how much he said, it was useless, let it be fate.

"Yours! Take out the money on your body! Xu Hui gently turned his head to look at the feet standing behind him, the black cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles, the earthy yellow pants with leggings, the top of the back of the head was tight, and the voice scolded: "** still dare to move, be careful that Lao Tzu collapses you!" Get the money out and hurry! "Authentic Zhaoyuan words.

Xu Si kicked back violently, and his body jumped forward, his hands were raised back, and the two handfuls of sand raised the face of the person behind him, and then turned around and raised his left foot to kick the guy in the right hand away, and the right foot followed and kicked the man's chest, and before the man could react, his body had been kicked out by Xu Si and fell to the ground.
