It was late at night, and another north wind was blowing.

Li Debao sat on the top of the golden pit, after hearing the sound of the wind, there was a sound of rustling from the barmao bushes, he vigilantly operated the "open fire gun", and looked over there, it turned out that it was the younger brother and nephew who carried the "clamp back" and drilled out of the middle of the bamao.

Li Debao's tense heart finally relaxed, he saw only Li Degui and his son, and he looked towards the Ba Mao Cong without giving up, except for Ba Mao, which was staggered by the north wind, he didn't see anything.

Li Debao asked his younger brother in disappointment, "What's the matter, it's only the two of you?" Don't even bring a saw? ”

"The people in the back may not get together until the second half of the night," Li Degui knew his brother's mood, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and quickly explained: "Dad asked the four of us to carry the gold sand under the 'toon wood' back to the mountain first, and then he took people down the mountain." ”

"What! Don't even want 'ebony'? Li Debao's eyes widened and he asked in surprise: "What's the use of carrying this gravel to the mountain?" ”

Li Degui heard his brother's question, and knew that his brother was also like his own mood when he first heard his father say that he wanted to carry gold sand up the mountain, and he didn't understand his father's good intentions. Li Degui was also on the way from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and gradually figured out his father's intentions, and Li Degui was not in a hurry to explain to his brother.

"Mom told us to bring you some wine and food, and you two grandfathers drink and eat slowly," Li Debao said to his brother, "I'll tell you slowly." ”

Li Degui turned back to his son Li Chongrong and said, "You are guarding the golden pit, and I will accompany your uncle and your eldest brother down to the golden pit." ”

"Got it!" Li Chongrong nodded sensibly, picked up the "open fire gun", stood on top of the golden pit, and looked around vigilantly.

Below the golden pit, a piece of pine wood stuck in the sand, the turpentine above crackled with flames, swaying in the wind, flickering and shining on two eye-catching "ebony".

Li Degui followed his brother and nephew to the bottom of the gold pit, he raised his right foot, kicked the "ebony", and shook his head regretfully.

Li Degui put down the "clamp back" on his back, took out the wine and food that his mother gave him before leaving, and let his brother and nephew drink and eat, and then he slowly told them what his father meant and what he thought.

After Li Debao heard what his younger brother had finished, he nodded and said regretfully: "Dad's idea is good, we have these sand gold on the mountain, and it is more convenient to have it on hand." It's a bit of a pity to just leave these two 'ebony' here. ”

"I can't care so much now," Li Degui stared at the two "ebony" and persuaded his brother: "It's better to listen to Dad, let's take out the gold sand under the 'toon wood' first, and carry it up the mountain." ”

"Second uncle, don't dig it, when I was digging, I saw that the gold sand was so good, and I felt that it was a pity to lose it, so I piled up the better gold sand that I took out." Li Chongkui gobbled up the fragrant bacon while pointing to the pile of gravel beside him with a greasy one and said, "Look! That's it. ”

"Okay! Or is my nephew a vision," Li Degui stood up, walked over and patted Li Chongkui's shoulder, and said happily: "You eat slowly, I'll shovel the gold sand into the back first." ”

Li Debao and his son had something in their hearts and didn't dare to drink, they filled their stomachs indiscriminately, and Li Degui also packed the four "sandwiched" gold sand.

When Li Degui was about to call his son Li Chongrong to come down and carry his back, he suddenly heard Li Chongrong on top of the golden pit and whispered to them: "Dad, there are a lot of passers-by from the east. ”

Li Debao listened to it next to him, and hurriedly climbed out of the golden pit with Li Degui to the east, and sure enough, there was a large number of passers-by, carrying a long string of torches, walking towards this side.

"What the hell?" Li Degui asked his brother anxiously.

"Don't be afraid!" Li Debao said decisively to Li Degui: "You and the two babies, first carry the gold sand and go to the mountain, and I will stay to deal with them." ”

"Brother, are you going to do it alone?" Li Degui asked worriedly.

"It's not a fight, what's the matter?" Li Debao impatiently urged him: "You guys go quickly!" ”

"It may be someone from the Xie family in Jinxiba, I can't let you stay!" Li Degui said stubbornly.

Li Debao's younger brother said disdainfully: "What about the Xie family? Am I still afraid that they will not succeed? ”

"Brother, it's not something you're afraid of!" Li Degui knew that his brother was stubborn, and carefully reminded him: "The Xie family doesn't have a good thing, you either come with us!" Or we'll all stay! ”

"If the Xie family has a vicious heart, the three of you just stay, what's the use?" Li Debao said to his younger brother unceremoniously, and urged them again: "You guys hurry up and go to report to your father as soon as possible, it's better than you staying!" ”

Li Chongkui listened to the dispute between his father and second uncle, and said to them earnestly: "Father, second uncle, you all go, I will stay alone to deal with them!" ”

"You're alone?" Li Debao glanced at his son badly, and yelled at him sternly: "Hurry up and go with your second uncle and grandfather!" ”

Li Degui saw that his brother was really angry, so he had to pull Li Debao's nephew and son, pick up the "clamp back", and take advantage of the night to walk towards the mountain.

After Li Debao urged the three of them to leave, he stayed alone, but he was much calmer. He poured the "back" of gold sand left in the pit into the pit. Picked up the "back mat" that was placed on the ground, thought about it, and threw it on the ground again. He picked up the "pestle", put it in the "clamp back", put it on the "clamp back", climbed into the shack above the gold pit, and hid the "clamp back". He returned to the bottom of the gold pit, and took his shovel and shoveled it at the wall of the pit, and the gravel on the wall fell to the ground, covering up the exposed gold sand. After shoveling for a while, he stopped, glanced around again, and when he was satisfied, he picked up the "back cushion" he had just dropped on the ground, placed it on an "ebony wood", and then sat down and smoked a dry cigarette slowly.

Li Debao finished smoking a bag of dry tobacco, shook off the ash in the cigarette pot, and after a pause, he heard a voice from the top of the gold pit, and knew that it was someone from the Xie family who came. But he ignored them, and continued to sit on the "ebony", smoking as if no one was around.
