Chapter 719: Looking for Gold
"This matter has to start from the beginning, I heard the old man in our village who passed away said that in the early stage of the defeat and surrender of the Dongying people, they dug a big cave in the back mountain of our Niujia Village, and hid their guns, ammunition and plundered gold in the cave of the back mountain, as the capital of the comeback, it is said that there were more than 40 big trucks that day to the back mountain of our village, at that time there were only more than 30 households in our Niujia Village, before we knew that the Dongying soldiers were going to come to our village, all the people in our village withdrew, There is also a Chengjia Fort next to our Niujia Village, and the people in their fort did not withdraw, but they were all killed by the murderous Dongying soldiers" When the three dogs paused when they said this, Wang Chuang and I had a trace of anger on their faces, when the Dongying people hit our country, they killed countless people, and also plundered a lot of materials in our country, whether the story that the three dogs told us is true or false, but it is very attractive.
"Sangouzi, you go on," I said to Sangouzi with great interest.
"After the Dongying people were driven away, the country. The Kuomintang once went into the mountains to search for these weapons and gold, but they searched for three days and three nights but did not find them. After the Kuomintang people left, they came to the mountains to search for this batch of arms and gold, they searched for more than half a month, and finally returned in vain, and then one after another many people went to the back mountains to look for this batch of arms and gold, but they did not find it. I want to smoke one," the three dogs reached out to us for a cigarette when they said this.
"I don't have it on me, I'll go out and ask you" I replied to the three dogs, and ran outside to ask Captain Zhang for cigarettes, the reason why I didn't ask Director Zhang for cigarettes was because Director Zhang's cigarettes were too cheap and a little out of my hands.
"Captain Zhang, do you have any cigarettes on you?" I walked up to Captain Zhang and asked.
"Yes, yes" Captain Zhang replied to me, then took out all the cigarettes in his pocket and handed them to me, Captain Zhang smoked a box of 15 yuan a box of Yellow Crane Tower, which was a very good cigarette, and I ran to the house with Captain Zhang's cigarettes.
"I've got all this for you," I handed the cigarette and lighter in my hand to the three dogs.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you" Sangouzi said thank you three times in a row, he took the cigarette in my hand, took out one and put it in his mouth, lit it with a lighter, and took a deep breath.
"Sangouzi, you go on" I asked Sangouzi impatiently.
"Our village is a poor village, there are many young people like me in the village who can't find a daughter-in-law because they are poor, and the most important thing is that the young people in our village are generally lazy, don't like to work, and are idle" The three dogs said to me with a ashamed face, I thought that as long as people are willing to work hard, they will not starve to death, even if young people have no money, as long as they are motivated, they will not find a daughter-in-law. Many of them are looking for men because they see that men are not motivated, and Jiang Weiwei is such a woman.
"Li Tian in our village is twenty-eight years old this year, and he has not married a daughter-in-law, Li Tian is not lazy, he learned a good carpenter job with his father, and he can earn seventy or eighty thousand yuan a year outside, he can do anything, but it is not good to gamble, not to mention all the money he earned, and he still owes a lot of loan sharks outside, and finally people drove a car to block the door of their house to ask, and his father took out all the money he married his daughter-in-law and repaid the loan sharks. Later, Li Tian didn't do carpenter work anymore, he went to the back mountain as soon as he had time, often going out early and returning late, his careful thinking we all know, he wanted to find the gold hidden in the back mountain by the Dongying people, and he didn't care at the time, we thought so many people went up the mountain to find it, how could he find it, and we don't know if there is gold in the back mountain of our village, but the night before yesterday, he took Wang Haifeng, Wang Haishan, Yao Yuhu and Jiang Xiaowei to my house. Li Tian, Wang Haifeng, Wang Haishan, Jiang Xiaowei and I all didn't marry a daughter-in-law because of poor family conditions, only Yao Yuhu has a daughter-in-law and has children, but Yao Yuhu's family conditions are not very good, and the children have been sick and have spent almost all the family's money in recent years. When Li Tian found me, he told me that he had found the place where the Dongying people buried gold and ammunition, and I didn't believe Li Tian's words at the time, because Li Tian is a person who loves to brag. Later, Wang Haishan and Wang Haifeng confirmed that what Li Tian said was true, and I believed what Li Tian said, Li Tian gathered a few of us together for a meeting" The three dogs paused when he said this, he stood up and walked to the outhouse, took a sip of water and walked in again.
"Li Tian said that we can't take the arms, after all, our country has a very strict management of guns and ammunition, once we take it out, if it is known, we will not be able to eat and walk around, which several of us also agree. Li Tian also said that the gold was found by him, the gold was divided into six points, he took fifty percent, and the rest of the five of us divided the other fifty equally, at that time we all agreed, even if we got one percent of the gold, it was not a small amount, and it was enough for us to buy a car in the city, buy a house, marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby, at that time we made up our minds, and then the next day was the preparations, we prepared shovels, pickaxes, and crowbars, etc., until more than four o'clock yesterday afternoon, a few of us set off to the back mountain, Li Tian took us people around and around for more than an hour, we came to a giant stone and stopped, Li Tian told us that behind the boulder are two big iron gates, we didn't believe it at the time, so Li Tian used a pickaxe to dig twice on the soil behind the boulder, when the soil slid down, we saw through the gap that there were two big iron doors behind the boulder, there was an old-fashioned copper lock on the top of the big iron door, at that time a few of us were very excited, we didn't say a word and started digging with the guy with us, Pry the stone. Although we can't pry the boulder, but the soil around the boulder is still some gravel for us is not difficult to get, we dug for two hours, and finally dug a gap one person wide, Li Tian was the first to drill in, with the crowbar in his hand to smash the copper lock on the big iron door to smash open, when Li Tian pushed open the big iron door, a fishy smell came out from inside, when the six of us smelled the fishy smell, we couldn't help squatting on the ground and all vomited, and finally we vomited the acid water in the stomach." When Sangouzi said this, he opened his mouth and retched, the fishy smell that Sangouzi said should be the smell of zombies.
After spitting up, the six of us held our breath and walked in, the cave was pitch black, I couldn't see my fingers, Li Tian took out a flashlight from his pocket and turned it on and shone it forward, we saw six or seven skeletons at the entrance of the cave, I have been timid since I was a child, I was scared and trembling when I saw those skeletons, I retreated and wanted to go home, Li Tian said that if I go back, the gold will not give us a share. My parents died early, and I was left at home, and I didn't make a lot of money working outside these years, but I suffered a lot of anger, and then I stayed at home and didn't go out to work, and lived by receiving the subsistence allowance, I really had enough of the poor days, I also wanted to have money, I also wanted to live the life of my wife and children on the hot kang, as long as I found gold, these wishes could be realized, so I followed Li Tian and a few of them to continue to walk forward, at that time I kept a heart, walked at the back, if something happened, I was the first to run back. The more we go into the cave, the wider it is, we first found a pile of wooden boxes with the word Dongying piled up in the corner of the cave wall, seeing the pile of wooden boxes, we almost screamed with excitement one by one, Li Tian handed the flashlight to Wang Haifeng, he dodged the crowbar from Jiang Xiaowei's hand and pried open the pile of wooden boxes, we did not find gold in the wooden boxes, but found rifles and machine guns wrapped in oilcloth, as well as countless bullets, those guns and bullets are well preserved, just like new, At that time, I picked up a rifle and fiddled with it for a while, I think it's a man, they all like guns, I'm so big or it's the first time to touch a real gun, and I'm a little excited.
"Li Tian he didn't have the anger to snatch the gun in my hand and it was still on the ground, he told us that it was important to find gold, so he took us and continued to walk forward, not far ahead, I saw the cannon covered with oilcloth, rows of copper shells were placed next to the cannon, there was a heavy machine gun displayed in front of the cannon, there were three or four wooden boxes next to each heavy machine gun, open the box, what we saw were heavy machine gun bullets, these guys I have only seen on TV, never seen the real one" Sangouzi said to me excitedly, and I was also itchy in my heart when I was told by Sangouzi.
