Chapter 13 The Sheep in the Tiger's Mouth
I thought that these two people were making some kind of contradiction, but I didn't expect Yan Laosan to turn Lao Qin into an undercover agent with one sentence!
I don't have a good impression of either of them, but in comparison, although Lao Qin looks sinister, he reminds me in many places. Yan Laosan looked very rough and arrogant, and the result was a lie! I prefer to believe in Lao Qin.
"How many years has Lao Qin worked with you?"
Speaking of this stubble, Yan Laosan seemed to be in a bad mood, threw away the empty bottle, and picked up another bottle of beer.
"More than ten years, he came back later. You don't care about this, just remember my words, Lao Qin is bottomless, and you can't figure it out. ”
Yan Laosan didn't want to talk to me about Lao Qin, so I turned to him and asked him:
"Where's the next dart?"
"Go to Bailiu Mountain, Jiangsu."
"Darts?"
"Dart!"
We took another dry bite.
"Your dart game is so hidden, where do you get the work?"
Yan Laosan laughed: "Really compare us with the courier?" Those who know us are all insiders, and we are closing our doors and waiting for business. ”
I nodded knowingly: "I understand, it's like an underground casino, all you can find are gamblers who are addicted to gambling." ”
"Is there Bailiu Mountain in Jiangsu, why haven't I heard of it?"
Yan Laosan nodded.
"Yes, it's a place in our line, I can't find it on the map, it's normal that you haven't heard of it." After speaking, Yan Laosan lit a cigarette.
"Don't look at our day and night darts like a cat, in fact, our line of work is very interesting, such as the white willow mountain we are going to, except for our insiders, ordinary people will never see that beautiful scenery!"
Seeing his triumphant appearance, I couldn't help but sneer:
", it's just an ordinary barren mountain, just a good name."
"Wrong!" Yan Laosan sat up straight excitedly, and said that he was so excited that he couldn't afford to smoke, and the ash had burned for a long time.
"Have you ever seen a white willow tree? The willows of the White Willow Mountain are all white trunks, white branches, and even the willow leaves are white, and the whole body is white! ”
I was stunned when I heard this, and I had the impression that the common willows were all gray bark trunks and green leaves, and the whole body was white willows, which was really unheard of, and I really didn't believe it.
Yan Laosan knocked the ash of his cigarette and said:
"In our line, the location of the dart is very particular, the small dart goes to the state and county, and the big dart goes to the historic sites, which is the customary rule. Imagine that the ground is full of white willows, the clouds and mountains are the same color, and even the hares in the mountains are white-haired. ”
Speaking of emotion, Yan Laosan narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand to gesture.
I "cut", picked up the wine bottle, took a sip of wine, and said, "It's almost done, I'll definitely go to this dart, so you don't need to paint me cakes." If there was such a beautiful place, it would have made headlines a long time ago! ”
Seeing that I didn't believe it, Yan Laosan took a puff of smoke and snuffed out the cigarette.
"Brother, don't be limited to some of the places you see in front of you, those are the tip of the iceberg, let me tell you, our vast land of Shenzhou is rare and exotic, there are countless beautiful scenery, and there are some ghosts and spirits that only appear in the middle of the night, haha, follow the old brother, and slowly you will find that night and day are two worlds!"
The more Yan Laosan said, the more mysterious it became, and it made me confused. It's not surprising to say that he goes out all year round and encounters some hardships and obstacles when he travels through the mountains and lands late at night, but as fantastical and colorful as he said, I still think he is talking nonsense to me!
I don't yearn for how beautiful this place is, and I'm not going to travel, I'm only worried about how to make a game for the robber to catch the toad-eyed old man!
But when it came to the matter of doing things on the road, Yan Laosan avoided saying it, just reassuring me that he had his own arrangements.
I can't talk deeply with such an incomprehensible person, the old man with toad eyes is their old opponent, I have no clues, although I am extremely reluctant, but I can only believe in Yan Laosan for the last time, I hope that Bai Liushan's dart game is successful, I hope this time, he can be more reliable.
.......................
Escort the dart to the mountain road, back to the dart bureau can take the car, this time Yan Laosan did not give the drug, but generously led me back to the dart bureau courtyard. I don't know if he did it intentionally or unintentionally, we went around and around the barren mountains until I almost threw up and couldn't remember the way at all.
On the third day of returning to the courtyard, there was a living person visiting, and I thought that this time the dart was a big object, but the person who came was just carrying a box in his hand.
This time it was a tin box, about ten centimeters long and wide. It was a little bigger than the one sent to Lao Zhouzhuang last time, and it could be seen that Yan Laosan attached great importance to Bailiushan's dart, and even the conversation was conducted in the locked room.
Sending people away, Yan Laosan was in a good mood, and it was estimated that he had negotiated a good price. In the evening, we got together for dinner, and Yan Laosan proposed a plan for this dart.
As soon as I heard that I went to Bailiu Mountain, I found that not only Lao Qin, but even the ugly orange's face had changed.
Two days later we set out again, this time on a long journey, first by car out of town, then by boat across the river, and then by overnight over a mountain...... After tossing for several days, I finally entered Jiangsu Province.
Bailiu Mountain is their name, there is no place on the ordinary map, Yan Laosan held a piece of brown paper in his hand, led us over the mountains and mountains, although the mountain road is difficult to walk, but fortunately there is no danger.
During the day, when I was camping and resting, Yan Laosan asked me to go with him to explore the way, and I was worried that I didn't have a chance to ask him, but as soon as I walked away, I asked:
"Did you have a message on your base?"
Yan Laosan grinned, nodded with great strides and replied:
"Don't worry, it's all in the plan!"
My heart suddenly tightened, thinking that the toad-eyed old man would soon come to rob the dart!
"Where the hell is going on, you will let me know, and I have a preparation!"
Yan Laosan climbed up the hillside, pointed to a green hill in the distance and said:
"See that mountain? There is a village behind the mountain, and the base leaks the news to them, saying that we will rest there, and that is our bureau! ”
Yan Laosan still has eight subordinates outside the compound, and judging by his confident appearance, he must have already been deployed.
I breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How do I do it, do I need to help me?" ”
Yan Laosan waved his hand without thinking: "No!" You will act in your true colors, and I am afraid that they will see that they are tired of telling you too much! ”
Looking at the green mountains in the distance, I couldn't help but feel my heart beat faster at the thought of going through a trap and a tough battle.
During the day, we slept separately, and after nightfall, we embarked on the journey over the mountain again, and when we reached two o'clock in the second half of the night, Lao Qin looked at the brown paper map and asked Yan Laosan:
"It's almost dawn, our water and food are gone, there seems to be a village in front of here, or let's settle down there and leave tomorrow night!"
Yan Laosan decisively refused: "No, let's hurry up and strive to cross this mountain tonight and rest in the next village!" ”
Yan Laosan has always said yes, we began to speed up the strength of our feet, in the middle of the road, the ugly orange wanted to go for convenience, only to go not far, suddenly the whole person fell to the ground, let out a scream.
We were startled and hurriedly ran over to see that the ugly orange stepped on a beast trap on his right foot!!
The thick iron serrations dug deep into her ankles, and the blood kept pouring out, and she cried out in pain.
Broke open the animal clamp, made a simple hemostatic bandage for her, and looked at a few holes with thick fingers, I looked at Yan Laosan worriedly and said:
"No, the injury is too serious, we can't climb the mountain in front of us tonight!"
Yan Laosan frowned when he heard this, leaned down to look at the wound on the ugly orange's foot, and couldn't help but sigh.
Lao Qin also shook his head, and persuaded in a hoarse voice:
"There's no way, let's rest in this village for a day!"
The ugly orange was still crying, but after thinking about it for a few minutes, Yan Laosan still agreed. I gave my luggage to Lao Qin, and hurriedly carried the ugly orange on my back and walked to the village below the mountain.
We walked very slowly, and by the time we got down the hill it was already dawn.
Walking on the village road with the ugly orange on her back, it attracted a lot of attention, and when an eldest sister passed by me, she suddenly turned around and pointed to the ugly orange on my back and shouted:
"Hey, why is this girl's foot hurt like this, is she stepping on the beast clip?"
Yan Laosan glanced back at her and asked:
"Eldest sister, where is your village clinic?"
The eldest sister leaned over, looked at the ugly orange's wound carefully, frowned and pointed to the east:
"Pierced so deeply, how many sins this little girl has to suffer, what about the east end, you can see it if you go straight along the road!"
After saying thank you, Yan Laosan and Lao Qin were going to explore the village, so I hurriedly rushed to the health center with ugly oranges on my back.
The village doctor, an old man in his seventies, muttered after seeing the ugly orange's injury:
"This stinky boy, he didn't listen to what he said, how many people have been harmed!"
Listening to the doctor's meaning, it seems to know who put this beast trap. As soon as I asked, the old man said angrily:
"The children of the old Li family did it, and they went up the mountain every day to put animal clips, but one beast was not clamped, but several people were clamped, and there was one yesterday!"
Ugly orange is kind by nature, and in this courtyard, I only treat her as a friend. Hearing what the old man said, I really wanted to take out this kid who was putting on the shelf and beat him hard.
The old man disinfected the ugly orange, prescribed some medicine, and told her to rest well and not to walk, for fear of hurting her bones and falling into the foot.
As soon as I got out of the health center, I happened to meet the eldest sister who pointed the way, and when she saw that the ugly orange wound was bandaged, she asked with a smile:
"Why are you so embarrassed, who are you here to visit?"
I'm not very good at lying, so I casually made up a sentence:
"Ah, go to Lao Wu's house."
The eldest sister was stunned: "Old Wu, there is no surname Wu in our village?" ”
I replied embarrassedly: "Well, maybe it's not from your village, it's the wrong one." ”
I was just about to turn around and leave, when the eldest sister immediately asked:
"Then do you have a place to live, why don't you come to my house to deal with it?"
Considering that Ugly Orange's foot injury was really inconvenient to sleep in the tent, I thought about it and said nothing, so I agreed to come down.
The eldest sister's house is not far from the health center, the family conditions are good, a long trip to the house, a hoeing man in the yard should be his husband, seeing me smiled slightly and said hello.
After arranging for the ugly orange, the warm-hearted eldest sister went to the kitchen to get busy again, I breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to the village to find Yan Laosan and the others.
Seeing that there was no ugly orange on my back, Yan Laosan was shocked, and asked me with his eyes:
"Where's the ugly orange man?"
I turned around and pointed: "On the way, I met the eldest sister lying down, and the eldest sister asked us to rest at his house." ”
Yan Laosan glanced at Lao Qin when he heard this, his face was cloudy, and at this time, he suddenly heard a shout from his back:
"The family meal is ready, come over and eat!" It's that big sister.
Since entering the house, Yan Laosan has been looking around vigilantly, and Lao Qin's face is also gloomy.
Taking advantage of the fact that the eldest sister went to the kitchen to serve the dishes, Lao Qin pushed me and scolded:
"Bunny, who let you call the shots?"
I was stunned, when the eldest sister and the man entered the room with three bowls of soup, put them on the table and said with a smile:
"Here, get a bowl hot while it's hot!"
No one went to drink the soup, and I didn't dare to move.
After a while, I noticed that Lao Qin stared at these bowls of oily soup, and a layer of cold sweat actually broke out on his shiny head!!
