Rouge Ditch is actually a river, a tributary of the Emur River, and during the Xianfeng period, the Oroqen people dug pits and buried horses here, and inadvertently dug up gold grains, and the news was immediately spread, and then the Russians learned about it. The Russians immediately brought people to dig in this area, and found that there were gold veins in this area. In the years that followed, adventurers and gold miners from all over the world came to the area, and soon thousands of people gathered here, and the remote place of Mohe became populated by the gold mines.

When the Qing court learned of this, it sent several notes to the Tsarist government, asking the other side to withdraw the people who stole the miners. At that time, the Tsarist government put forward the idea of renting land for gold mining, and the Qing court had no choice but to expel troops by force, and sent troops to garrison the Mohe estuary, and set up dozens of checkpoints to prevent gold mining from being stolen.

At that time, the Guangxu Emperor ordered Li Jinyong to supervise the matter, Li Jinyong went through a lot of hardships, after reaching Mohe, after exploration and planning, in 1888, that is, the 14th year of Guangxu founded the Mohe Gold Factory, only the second year, the gold mining volume of the plant was as high as 20,000 taels.

Why is it called rouge groove again? There are usually two ways to say it –

The first theory is that Li Jinyong handed over the mined gold to military salaries, merchant shares, miners' dividends, etc., and after allocating it, he cast the remaining gold into large ingots and handed them over to the local officials to transfer them to the capital and present them to the imperial court. During the transfer, every place was scraped off by the local magistrate. When it was sent to the capital, the officials of each yamen scraped it again and handed it to Li Lianying, who scraped half of the rest. Finally, it was dedicated to the Empress Dowager Cixi, and said that this is Li Jinyong, the general office of Mohe Gold Mine, to honor your old man.

When Cixi saw the gold ingot, she just smiled lightly: "This gold ingot must have been much bigger than this, and it was just skinned layer by layer." ”

Li Lianying hurriedly said when she heard this: "The slave will go and check." ”

Cixi said: "No need, where in this world is there who doesn't see money?" Leave this gold ingot and buy me rouge. ”

The second theory is that after Laojingou became populated due to gold mining, a large number of fireworks women poured into the area, resulting in a large number of local kilns, and even foreign prostitutes came here. After these women remove their makeup every day, the water from their bath flows into the river, causing a layer of rouge to float on the surface of the water, hence the name.

Why is it called a ditch? The reason is that the gold miners used to call the rivers with gold veins ditches.

After listening to Liu Mouzheng's explanation, Kyoji Miyake said coldly: "You just want to tell me this?" ”

Liu Mouzheng said: "General, I know very well why you brought me here to watch this performance. You want to tell me that everything I have today is something you gave me and that you can take it back at any time. But I also tell you, I'm not afraid of death, I'm not greedy for power and money, these don't matter to me, you can threaten me, or you can really kill my family, but the consequence of that is to die and the net will be broken, or in your words, it will be a broken jade, I know what you will do, but you don't know what I will do, I don't believe we can try. ”

Kyoji Miyake didn't get angry and didn't make any moves, just smiled and turned to leave.

Liu Mou was looking at the open door, just looking down at Guan Beihe, who had been crying below, he didn't want to turn himself from a chess player into a chess piece, and the only person who could stop this change was Tang Qianlin.

Tang Qianlin and the others, who escaped from the secret search class train at night, hurried in the direction of Mohe overnight under the leadership of Ye Da.

Although he was in a hurry, Tang Qianlin stopped and stopped, regardless of whether everyone was really tired or not.

While resting in a dilapidated hunter's hut, Tang Yushi finally couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you keep going?" ”

Tang Qianlin looked at the bonfire and said, "Rest." ”

Tang Yushi said: "Why don't we rest in the place that Uncle Ye said?" ”

Ye Da echoed: "What you said when it rains makes sense, walking like this for a while and resting for a while, on the contrary, it is more tiring." ”

Li Yunfan didn't ask questions, he knew that Tang Qianlin must have his own reasons for doing this.

Tang Qianlin said: "Didn't you notice that there were people following us all the way?" And it's kept at a dangerous distance. ”

Ye Da and Tang Yushi were stunned, Tang Yushi said that he was going to put out the bonfire, but was blocked by Tang Qianlin.

Tang Qianlin said: "You suddenly extinguished the bonfire, which is equivalent to telling them that we have found out." ”

Tang Yushi was puzzled: "You mean to let them follow like this?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "We are in the light, they are in the dark, we are by the bonfire, they are in the cold wind, sooner or later they will be frozen, and their physical strength and energy will drop significantly." ”

Tang Yushi asked, "And then?" ”

Tang Qianlin raised his eyes and looked at him: "Then I will be with An Ran, you and your Uncle Li will be together when it rains, Ye Da will leave alone, the five of us will be divided into three groups, and there will only be two people who are following us, even if they follow us separately, then we can rely on the geographical environment and physical strength to get rid of them, and then gather at the place where your Uncle Yi said." ”

Li Yunfan said: "I understand, what do you mean is that since Miyake Kyoji can pry open and close Beihe's mouth and know the whereabouts of the Yan clan, just let them deal with the Yan clan, and then it will become us in the dark, and they are in the light?" ”

Tang Qianlin nodded and said, "That's right, that's what my plan is, I must change from passive to active." ”

Tang Yushi finally sat down, but he had some admiration for Tang Qianlin, a person who was kind to him.

Tang Yushi is not a person who does not know how to be grateful, but his mind is still like a child now, he is very dependent on Tang Qianlin who saved him, but he does not dare to show it, the maturity of his body and the immaturity of his mind make him contradictory, he wants to repay the kindness, and the way he repays the favor is to make himself strong, and at the same time get Tang Qianlin's affirmation.

While Tang Qianlin and the others were taking in the warmth in front of the bonfire, the two Japanese soldiers of the Sanhe Team in the woods outside the house were shivering with cold, and in order not to be discovered, they didn't even dare to show the shaking caused by the cold.

When it was about to dawn, Tang Qianlin and the others acted separately according to the plan, marching in three directions at a constant speed, and the two Japanese soldiers panicked, briefly discussed, and decided to follow separately.

Tang Qianlin took An Ran's hand and walked in the muddy snow, he heard An Ran's rapid breathing, and hurriedly asked, "I'll carry you." ”

An Ran shook Tang Qianlin's hand tightly: "It's good if you hold me." ”

Tang Qianlin stopped and squatted in front of An Ran: "Come up!" ”

An Ran refused: "You're too tired." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Hurry up, don't rub it off." ”

An Ran had to climb onto Tang Qianlin's back, and Tang Qianlin ran forward with his back on his back, even so, Tang Qianlin's speed was still faster than the Japanese soldier who was following behind.

In the other direction, another Japanese soldier struggled to follow Ye Da in front of him, and Ye Da, who had begun to maintain a constant speed, suddenly increased his speed and soon disappeared from his sight.

The soldier ran to the front, looked around, and finally gave up.

An Ran lay on Tang Qianlin's back and said in a low voice, "Is that person still following us?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "I don't know, don't look back, walk a little longer, and we can get rid of him." ”

An Ran said: "You are very tired, I know, otherwise, you put me down and I will go by myself." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "I said it, I will never leave you alone." ”

An Ran's heart was very warm when she heard this, but she was a woman after all, but after hearing this, she thought of He Chenxue in her mind, and after hesitating for a while, she asked cautiously: "Did you say something similar to her?" ”

Tang Qianlin was silent, not knowing how to answer, telling lies? Enron wouldn't be unaware. Tell the truth? An Ran felt uncomfortable in his heart, which was originally contradictory, and he didn't blame An Ran, because he knew in his heart that no matter how much suffering he experienced, no matter how much He Chenxue had treated him, he still had such a concern in his heart.

An Ran leaned his head on Tang Qianlin's shoulder, closed his eyes and said, "Qianlin, you can go, it's really ......"

Tang Qianlin finally couldn't help but say, "What are you talking nonsense? Don't talk nonsense, I'm not leaving. ”

An Ran's mouth was close to his ear and he said, "You can go, but remember, I am waiting for you in the future." ”

Tang Qianlin's steps stopped, and he stood there for a long time before he nodded vigorously and said one word—um.

An Ran smiled, although there was no vow, just one word represented this man's commitment to himself.

That day, the weather was very cold, so cold that people would freeze quickly when they stood in the sun, but Enron felt very warm, warm like never before.

In the afternoon, everyone finally gathered under the big tree of Tunzi that Ye Da said, Ye Da arrived first, followed by Li Yunfan and Tang Yushi, and finally Tang Qianlin, who was tired and panting, because he had been carrying An Ran on his back all the way.

Ye Da stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" Got rid of it? ”

Tang Qianlin put it down and said safely: "Got rid of it, it was thrown off in the ravine, if it wasn't for the fact that I had enough spirits last night, I'm afraid he would still be following now." ”

Tang Yushi looked at Tang Qianlin's appearance, untied the kettle and handed it over.

Tang Qianlin was stunned, because this was the first time Tang Yushi cared about himself, he smiled and thanked him, took the kettle and drank the water.

Li Yunfan looked at the ruined tunzi: "Why is this place abandoned?" ”

Ye Dadao: "When I came here before, there were hundreds of people in this tun, and then I heard that because of the gold mine incident, the people here were driven away by the Japanese, and those who didn't want to leave were secretly disposed of." ”

Tang Qianlin scolded: "The devil of the dog day. ”

Ye Da asked, "Yunfan, take out the map." ”

Li Yunfan took out the map, and after Ye Da spread it out, he pointed to the map and said: "This is our current location, located between Mohe County and Rouge Valley, and the south is the Great Xing'an Mountains, we must not go north, because Rouge Ditch in the north is a gold mine, and there are now a large number of Japanese troops stationed there." ”

Tang Qianlin thought for a while and said, "That's it, Yun Fan and I will go to Mohe, I will go to Ye Yunong, Yun Fan will go to Bei Zihong's seniors, and the rest of the people will stay here and stand by." ”

When everyone agreed, Tang Yushi suddenly said at this time: "Dad......"

When Tang Qianlin looked at Tang Yu in surprise, he didn't expect him to call himself that.

Tang Qianlin asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Tang Yushi asked, "Can I go?" Don't worry, I won't bother you. ”

An Ran held Tang Qianlin's hand slightly, and Tang Qianlin said, "Okay, you go with us." Ye Da, you stay and take care of your sister-in-law. ”

Ye Dadao: "Don't worry. ”

Tang Qianlin then found a fairly complete room to shelter from the wind for Ye Dahe to rest safely, while he and Li Yunfan and Tang Yushi immediately set off for Mohe.
