Chapter 7 Upper Dam
The third master opened his mouth and was about to speak, but the sound of the old ruffian's snoring suddenly became very loud, and the third master was interrupted by him and closed his mouth and swallowed the words back, just laughed hoarsely a few times, turned his head and continued to drive the donkey cart.
I watched from the side that the third master was about to say something, but he was suffocated by the old ruffian's snoring, and I wanted to scold my mother in a hurry, what kind of snoring is the old ruffian at this juncture, but it is useless to say more, I can only find a chance next time.
After more than half an hour, the donkey cart has arrived at the bottom of the slope of the dam, this dam was in a hurry to repair, much shorter than the Yellow River dam, the overall thickness is also worse, if it is slightly insufficient as the main flood control dam, but as an emergency dam is completely enough, plus the maintenance and reinforcement over the years, the dam half waist is placed with stones into a 10 square meter large, one and a half meters high flood control phalanx, many squares stretch out a long dragon, quite spectacular, the current dam is more solid than when it was just repaired.
The third master drove the donkey cart to climb up slowly, because the grain goods pulled in the cart were too heavy, plus the weight of the two young men, no matter how the third master waved the donkey whip, the donkey would stop after a few steps forward, which was very difficult.
I saw that the donkey cart couldn't go up the slope, so I patted the old ruffian next to me and shouted: "Old ruffian, old ruffian, wake up." The old ruffian slept deadly, I shouted twice and didn't respond, the donkey in front of me finally couldn't support it, the donkey cart actually began to slowly retreat down the slope, if it was allowed to develop like this, after a few minutes the donkey retreated back when the center of gravity was unbalanced, and then even the people and carts had to roll down the slope.
I had to jump off the donkey cart first, from the back of the car to push up, but the donkey has some center of gravity imbalance can not make the strength, even if I get off the car now to push up can only barely make the donkey cart temporarily stable, but also a step up can not go up, if a few minutes of strength is exhausted, may be even the donkey with the cart from the body pressed over, the third master in front of the car to stabilize the donkey can not help, but this fatal time the old ruffian is still sleeping like a pig, I am anxious out of a hot sweat.
The third master has been driving the donkey cart for a day or two, and he knows how powerful it is, so he shouted in front: "You have to find a way to call the ruffian brother up, push it up and let the donkey exert its strength, otherwise it won't last long!" “
I am now gritting my teeth and pushing upwards with enough strength, as soon as I make a lot of effort, I rely on one breath to lift, and when I talk with one mouth, the strength on my body will be greatly reduced, at this time, after listening to the words of the third master, where do I dare to answer, my face is red before I roar out from between my teeth: "Money!" Money! “
The third master is an old Jianghu, and immediately understood what I meant, and shouted at the old ruffian while holding the donkey: "The treasure has been found!" It's full of treasures! “
Sure enough, I know best what kind of virtue the old ruffian is, as soon as the old ruffian heard the third master shouting treasure, he immediately sat up from the car, it didn't matter if he sat up, the donkey cart was already barely supporting and not moving, this time the center of gravity was completely unbalanced and tilted down the slope quickly, and the old ruffian fell directly from the donkey cart.
Although the third master was leading the donkey cart in front of him, he was startled by the sudden change, but there was no big problem. The bitter thing is that as soon as I reacted to what happened, I was almost fell off my head by the weight of the car backwards, and it took several steps back to stabilize my body, but where can he now withstand the force of the whole car retreating, and his shoes were rubbed by the road and slid down.
The old ruffian got up from the ground at this moment, and suddenly his mind cleared up and understood the situation, and he didn't care about the shoes that had fallen from the donkey cart, so he simply ran barefoot to the back and pushed up desperately with me.
Although the donkey cart was retreating backwards, two people had already come down from the cart at this time, and with the force of pushing upward, the cart was finally stabilized again.
The third master breathed a sigh of relief in front of him, led the donkey and shouted loudly: "Use a little more strength, let the donkey stand well and use his strength, and he can go up!" ”
When I heard this, I gritted my teeth and pushed the car up, and the third master shouted in front of me that it was okay, so I was relieved, and I sat on the slope next to the donkey cart, I was too nervous to pay attention to it when I was working hard just now, and my legs were a little shaky when I relaxed at this time, and the sweat on my body had completely soaked my clothes.
The old ruffian also sat next to him and gasped for breath, but after all, he came down late, and his physical fitness was better when he had been a soldier, and it was almost the same after a while.
The third master shouted in front of him: "You have to climb up the hill before the donkey runs out of energy, you two rest here for a while, I will drive the car to the dam first and wait for you!" With that, he drove the donkey cart slowly up the slope.
I sat on the ground and rested for a while, felt some strength in my body again, patted the panting old ruffian next to me, and said, "Old ruffian, don't you have the demobilization fee on your body, and how much is it?" ”
The old ruffian reached out and took out a brown and yellow cowhide wallet from the inner pocket of his clothes, counted the money in the mile, and said: "When the money was first sent, there was a lot of money, and when I arrived in Beijing, I spent a lot of money, and the money in the wallet is not as expensive as the wallet, but it is enough to praise the brothers and sisters for a few meals of meat happily." ”
I nodded, and told him about the way the third master smoked when the old ruffian was asleep and the things that stopped talking, and felt that if I wanted the third master to tell what he knew, I had to fundamentally hook out the unstable factors in his bones, and maybe I would explain everything when the time came.
The old ruffian thought about it, so he asked: "You say, Ah Zheng, what method should we use to give this old fritter ecstasy soup?" ”
I thought about it for a while and said: "A few cigarettes in the car just now reminded the third master of the past, and he sighed, he hasn't lived a few days of stable and comfortable life in these years, if we let him recall how he lived a good life, it will definitely have a miraculous effect." “
When the old ruffian heard this, he clapped his hands and said yes, laughed a few times and had new confusion, so he asked: "What if the third master knows that it has nothing to do with Chen Ping's treasure, these few dollars are nothing, but the two of us will make a joke." ”
"Do you remember what the third master shouted when he woke you up from the donkey cart just now?" I looked at the old ruffian, motioned for him to think about it carefully, and then said, "When people are nervous, what they say does not go through their brains, and they often bring out the truth. ”
