They chatted and walked, Qin Caihou was tired of walking, Shi Po rode on the donkey, her buttocks also hurt, and the donkey was sweating, so they were ready to go to the river to rest before leaving.

Qin Caihou took Shi Po off the donkey and led the donkey to the river to drink.

This is a small female donkey, relatively short in stature, but long fat and round. Qin Caihou stood behind it, gently stroked its smooth and smooth body, and asked Shi Po, "How big is your donkey?" ”

"Ten months old." After Shi Po replied, she quickly explained: "This is not my donkey, it was bought by Bai Lao for his son-in-law at the bazaar yesterday. ”

When Qin Caihou heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't what I bought for his son-in-law just for you?" Isn't his son-in-law your man? ”

"I'm not Bai Lao's daughter." Shi Po explained: "Bai Lao also has a daughter named Big Foot, and her man's name is Fulin, who is the branch secretary of our tun. This donkey was bought for him by Flinto Bailao. ”

Qin Caihou asked with interest: "Then what kind of girl are you from Bai Lao?" ”

"I'm just a little bit of a guy by his side. As soon as Cui Sandiao was eliminated, he recognized me as his goddaughter, and then married me to a stonemason in Jiafanggou......"

"Ah, it turns out that because your man is a stonemason, people call you Shi Po?" Qin Caihou suddenly realized.

"Yes."

Qin Caihou then asked, "Then how many children do you have?" ”

"One, but not a ...... born to me"

Qin Caihou stared at Shi Po with wide eyes, puzzled.

Shi Po knew that what she said just now was a bit of a trickle, so she smiled and explained: "After I married a stonemason, I didn't have children for more than ten years, so during the three-year difficult period, I took in a girl named Bai Yun who asked for food from Henan, and wanted her to pass on the lineage to the stonemason." Baiyun was also angry, conceived in October, and gave birth to a big fat girl in the next year, named Rong Mei, who made me and the stonemason so happy that they almost didn't jump into the room. I asked the stonemason to work harder, trying to make Baiyun a big fat boy again. But who would have thought that the stonemason was not angry, and suddenly contracted an illness, and it didn't take long to leave me and Bai Yunniang and left. ”

"It's pathetic!" Qin Caihou sighed, and then asked, "That means that now it's just your mother and son living together?" ”

"Yes." Shi Po said while picking at the cigarette pouch pot: "Fortunately, I have been serving by Bai Lao's side since I was a child, and I also know some medical skills when I hear and witness it, and I can cope with a small problem of headache, brain fever and bruises, plus our mother can dance a big god, so we can't be hungry." ”

After the little female donkey had drunk enough water, Qin Caihou tied it to a small poplar tree, and then lay on the grass to rest.

After resting for a while, the two led the little female donkey onto the road. Qin Caihou hugged Shi Po onto the donkey's buttocks, and he led him in front of him and continued to walk north.

On the way, Qin Caihou said to Shi Po with some guilt: "I'm here to grab your job?" ”

"That must have been robbed! So you have to feed our mother and son in the future. Shi Po paused for a moment, and then said: "It's better to be like this, after you get to the fart ditch, you can live in my house." ”

"Yes." Qin Caihou agreed, and then said: "However, I am a barefoot doctor, and I am not allowed to charge money for treating poor and middle peasants, how can I support you?" ”

"I have a way to make money, I don't know if you dare to do it?"

"What's the way to make money?"

"Back then, Cui Sandiao cultivated a piece of land on Weidiao Mountain, planted poppies, and sold them after refining them into big smoke."

"And now?"

"Now?" Shi Po said: "Now that land has been deserted there. It's been more than 30 years, and no one can get in. ”

"How can no one get in?" Qin Caihou was inexplicable when he heard it.

Shi Po patiently explained: "Cui Sandiao made that poppy field like a labyrinth, only he and a few of his cronies can enter and exit freely, and others don't want to go in, even if they go in, they don't want to come out again." ”

"That Bai Lao is the medical officer next to Cui Sandiao, so he should be regarded as a cronie, right?"

"The cronies are also railway police, and each is in charge of a section. Even if it is the Eight King Kongs under him, all of them are his cronies, but not all of them can enter and leave freely, and only the cronies who are in charge of this matter can have the right to enter this land. ”

"Then someone needs to do the work, can't Cui Sandiao and his cronies grow poppies by themselves?" Qin Caihou was full of doubts.

"The one who went blindfolded and went in in a carriage. When he came out, he was blindfolded and came out in a carriage. ”

Qin Caihou suddenly realized and was amazed. He suddenly thought of the gossip map hanging on the white old wall, and hurriedly asked, "You just said that Cui Sandiao made the poppy field look like a labyrinth, is this maze you said a gossip array?" ”

Shi Po nodded and said, "Bai Lao also suspects that the poppy field is a gossip array, so he has been studying the gossip array. ”

"But it's been more than thirty years, and he's still studying it?" Qin Caihou was a little bit of a second-hand monk who couldn't figure it out.

Cui Sandiao stored a lot of boiled cigarettes there back then. So Bai Lao has always wanted to go in and take out these big cigarettes. ”

Qin Caihou thought to himself: This is really a man dying for money, a bird dying for food, a seventy-year-old man, still dreaming of getting rich every day. After thinking about it, there was one thing that Qin Caihou still couldn't understand, so he asked, "What about taking it out?" Sell to whom? ”

"Back then, Cui Sandiao had a liaison adjutant named Su Boxiong, who was a ...... who specialized in selling big cigarettes to Cui Sandiao."

"And what about him now?"

"As soon as Cui Sandiao died, he disappeared, and no one has found him until now......"

Qin Caihou shook his head again and again and sighed: "More than thirty years have passed, maybe people have died a long time ago." ”

"Even if he is dead, he still has a wife alive......"

"Who?"

"Aunt Qiao of Taocheng."

"What do you say?" Qin Caihou "exhaled" and jumped almost three feet high, and his voice startled Shi Po: "Is this Aunt Qiao you are talking about her man a Luo Guo?" She has a son named Choi Myung-guk? ”

"Her current man is Cui Luo Guo! I don't know what her son's name is, but I know that she has a lot of daughters, Daqiao, Erqiao, and Sanqiao, so people call her Aunt Qiao now. ”

"That's right, she has seven daughters, from Daqiao to Qiqiao. But she also has a son named Cui Mingguo, who is a classmate of mine. Last year a fire burned to death. Qin Caihou was stunned and thought of the topic they had just talked about, so he asked again: "Then what kind of liaison adjutant Su Boxiong and Aunt Qiao you just talked about, what is going on?" ”

Shi Po rode on the donkey's buttocks, smoking a cigarette bag and pot, and slowly preached to Qin Caihou: "When the liberation, when Cui Sandiao occupied Taocheng, Su Boxiong saw a little girl selling roasted sweet potatoes on the street, so he snatched her home to play, and when her belly was bigger, Cui Sandiao was also driven out of Taocheng and wanted to run to Weidiao Mountain. So, Su Boxiong entrusted the little girl to Cui Sandiao's son Cui Luoguo to take care of, and he ran away with Cui Sandiao......"

"Wait!" Qin Caihou was shocked again and again, and hurriedly interrupted Shi Po's words and asked, "You just said that Cui Luoguo is the son of Cui Sandiao?" ”

"Yes."

"That means that Cui Mingguo is the grandson of the bandit Cui Sandiao!?" Qin Caihou couldn't believe his ears.

"That's right."

Qin Caihou really couldn't believe all this, and couldn't help but ask: "Then why didn't Cui Luoguo run with Cui Sandiao back then?" ”

"He has a pot, he hasn't even touched a gun, that is, he hasn't killed anyone, and he hasn't set fires, why does he want to run to Weidiao Mountain?"

Qin Caihou asked eagerly, "What happened later?" ”

"Later, Su Boxiong disappeared, and the little girl who sold roasted sweet potatoes gave birth to Su Boxiong's daughter Daqiao......"

"Ahh Qin Caihou suddenly realized, "The little girl you said selling roasted sweet potatoes is the current Aunt Qiao?" ”

"Yes." Shi Po continued: "After Aunt Qiao gave birth to Daqiao, she and Cui Luoguo gave birth to two and three coincidences...... A lot of girls, of course, and your classmate Cui ...... What the...... What is ...... The one who was burned to death by the fire. ”

"Cui Mingguo." Qin Caihou pondered and said, "According to what you say, I really feel that the big coincidence is indeed a little different from the six coincidental coincidences. The big nose is the olecranon nose, while the second and third are ...... and Cui Mingguo's nose is the same as Cui Luoguo's, both have collapsed noses. ”

"Su Boxiong is a pointed olecranon nose, and the tip of his nose is about to touch his upper lip."

"After talking for a long time, we still can't find Su Boxiong." Qin Caihou didn't have a clue from beginning to end, "Do you mean that Aunt Qiao knows Su Boxiong's whereabouts?" ”

"I don't know if Aunt Qiao knows Su Boxiong's whereabouts. But I know that Aunt Qiao and Su Boxiong sold big cigarettes together back then. ”

"So what? It's been more than 30 years, what if she has sold? ”

"Since she's been a seller, she's sure she knows something. Although more than 30 years have passed, as long as people do not die, they can be resurrected. Shi Po said firmly: "The key question is that this is a head-off thing, that is, it depends on whether you dare to do it!" ”

"I dare!" Qin Caihou also said firmly: "The key question is how we can enter that poppy field. Bai Laodu has been studying for more than 30 years, and he can't get in, what can we do to get in? ”

"We don't have to go in and we can get poppy juice."

Qin Caihou looked at Shi Po with wide eyes, feeling incredible.

Shi Po ignored his expression, and continued to talk with foaming stars: "For so many years, it has been windy and rainy, and poppy seeds have fallen everywhere on Weidiao Mountain, so now poppies can be found everywhere on the mountain. So we can go to Weidiao Mountain to look for it, and we can always collect some poppy juice. It's no problem to boil smoke, people in this area have helped Cui Sandiao make smoke, and I am even more familiar with the car, and I will definitely be able to make high-quality smoke for you. The rest is your business, you are responsible for going to Taocheng to find Aunt Qiao, find a market, and sell the big cigarettes......"

Qin Caihou led the little female donkey, walked along the mountain path where the flowers shook the grass and listened to Shi Po's chatter, looking up at the romantic Weidiao Mountain with mountain flowers in front of him, and was full of reverie.
