I don't know if this is a hunch, I always feel that the person who is chasing the broken head is Zhang Yuchi, so I called Zhang Yuchi twice on the way, but the result is still no answer.

Ten minutes later, we followed the man's car into a small village in the middle of the big mountain pass. It was almost dark at this time, and there were no street lights in the village, so the headlights were almost the only source of light. This light alone was not enough to see the whole village, except for the winding dirt road and the scattered dilapidated bungalows on both sides, and I could only see the dark mountains in the distance.

The houses in this village were built without any planning at all, and there was no real road, so we followed the car in front of us slowly and leisurely and turned left and right as if walking through a maze, and finally came to the front of a three-room compound. There are lights in this yard, and the small pickup truck that drove away before is parked in this yard.

In the far left doorway sat an old man. The old man, who was in his eighties, with only a few sparse white hairs left on his head, was sitting on a bench smoking a cigarette pouch pot that looked like it was old, I had only seen it in black and white movies before, and it was the first time I had seen it in real life.

After the broken man got out of the car, he walked over to the old man and whispered a few words, and when he looked up again, he smiled and waved at us, signaling us to pass.

Zhang Yupeng turned back to Sun Haijiao and said, "You stay in the car first, the door is locked, and I will go down with Lei Sheng to take a look." With that, he stepped out of the car door first. I also followed Zhang Yupeng to get out of the car, and then came to the old man smoking at the door together.

The man with the broken head stood next to the old man with a smile and introduced us: "This is my father, I used to be the foreman of the jade factory, and the craftsmanship of processing jade is the first in the whole village, but unfortunately I lost my job early." ”

I didn't have the habit of being a grandson casually, although I may have been a little worse in seniority, but I still chose to call the old man "uncle", and then explained the intention of our trip.

The old man glanced at me with a cigarette pouch and a pot of cigarettes, and then stopped his gaze on Zhang Yupeng. After taking a hard puff of his cigarette, he finally took the cigarette pouch pot out of his mouth and knocked the soot on the sole of his shoe, and then spat out a huge puff of choking cigarette.

I had very severe rhinitis, and when this smoke came my sneeze came immediately, and at the same time choked on my cough, and I quickly took a few steps back and got out of the range of the smoke.

The old man didn't take me seriously at this time, but just looked up at Zhang Yupeng slightly and said, "What's your name, big man?" ”

Don't look at this old man's age, his voice is very thick.

Zhang Yupeng's side is also real, and as soon as the old man asked, he replied truthfully: "My name is Zhang Yupeng." ”

"Where did you hear that we have a jade mine here?" The old man asked again.

"We've already told your grandson before. In addition, it shouldn't matter who you listen to, we just want to see the mine, if there is indeed jade, we will talk to the mine owner about a business, if not, we will leave. Zhang Yupeng talked to the old man very professionally about the verdict.

"Humph! Today's young people are really more and more ignorant of the rules, if it was before, your attitude would have been to eat guns! As he spoke, the old man's eyes widened.

"Oh? Then I have to ask, when did you say before? Ten years ago? Fifty years ago? Or...... Ninety years ago? ”

"Hah! Hahaha...... "The old man suddenly and inexplicably daxiao again. After laughing enough, he also put the cigarette pouch and pot on the edge of the bench, and then stood up and moved his back - when he stood up, I realized that he was almost as tall as Zhang Yupeng, and he was still a little hunched on his back.

I pondered that the next step seemed to be the link where the old man asked Zhang Yupeng for a few tricks, but the old man actually pointed to the room behind him, and then smiled at Zhang Yupeng and said: "It's been a long time since I've seen a young man as bold as you, whether you have dinner or not, come in and sit down, don't mind if you have coarse tea and light rice, even if it's an old man, I thank you for helping my grandson heal his injuries." What about the jade mine...... I'll take you to the mine owner later. ”

After saying that, the old man turned around and went into the house directly, without giving us a chance to refuse.

The man with the broken head hurriedly came over at this time and smiled at us, and then whispered mysteriously: "My grandfather's generation was a bandit, and I heard that my grandfather also liked to fight with people when he was young, and now he can't change this problem." But others must be good people, you can rest assured of this. ”

"Didn't you say your grandfather was a miner before?" I came over and asked.

"It's a miner, but it's also a bandit, how can I say it......" The man with the broken head rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, "I should call it a mine bandit, haha." ”

I glanced at Zhang Yupeng, meaning to let him decide whether to enter or not.

Zhang Yupeng is the real master of the arts, he didn't even think about it, he broke through the head man and nodded, and then turned around and shouted to the Hummer: "Doctor Sun, get out of the car and enter the house with us." ”

After Sun Haijiao came down, the three of us followed the broken man into the bungalow.

Don't look at the tattered village and don't seem to be very rich, but the situation inside this house is very different! The floor is paved with wooden tiles, the walls are cleanly painted, modern kitchen utensils, a large refrigerator with vertical double doors, LCD TV, computer, ...... All kinds of household appliances are readily available, which are more advanced than Shu Xin's parents' homes!

The man with the broken head seemed to see what I was thinking, and quickly explained that his ancestors had left a lot of gold bars, and if all the money was converted, it would be enough for them to go to Beijing to buy a villa, and then live a life without worrying about food and clothing. However, his father had a relationship with this village and was reluctant to leave, so the whole family lived here.

We followed the Broken Head Man to the big house and met his parents. Then we sat in the big room and listened to the white-haired old man tell stories, while the man with the broken head helped his parents prepare dinner.

Although the old man only talked to Zhang Yupeng, the questions raised by Zhang Yupeng were all the questions I wanted to ask, so I just listened.

Zhang Yupeng first asked about rumors about bandits in the village.

The old man admitted that his ancestors had always been bandits, and that they were also mine bandits who specialized in mining robbery. He said that in the past, this place was not called Sanliangzi Village, but since his father and his accomplices occupied the jade mine here, the village was changed to the name of his father's gang of bandits - Sanliangzi.

Later, when the Japanese devils entered the Northeast, the bandits of Sanliangzi really fought with the devils, and many people did die. However, at that time, there was no road in this area at all, and it was not much easier for the devils to find Sanliangzi Village than it was to ascend to the sky, so the rumors outside that Sanliangzi Village was slaughtered by devils and then haunted were all nonsense.

Zhang Yupeng asked the old man what the rest of the village was doing now.

The old man said that most of the families are farming, but more people still choose to go to the city to work, and there are fewer and fewer people staying in the village, and now the whole village adds up to 50 or 60 people, and it is estimated that in another ten years, the village will be completely finished.

Zuihou, Zhang Yupeng asked the old man if there were people who usually came to the village like us to ask about the jade mine.

The old man shook his head and sighed, "Hey, because of the casual lie that no one dares to come to the village now. I haven't seen anyone outside the village for more than half a year, and I'm very happy to see young people like you today. You'll know how I'm feeling when you're my age, and talking to young people will help me get back to feeling like I was younger. ”

After that, the old man did not give Zhang Yupeng a chance to ask questions, but took the initiative to ask what we were doing, and Weishenme was interested in jade mines.

Zhang Yupeng did not say that he was a shaman, but only lied that he was a jade merchant.

The old man didn't doubt it, but followed Zhang Yupeng's words and talked to him about the jade business. The old man said that the jade mines in the village were not very good, and that in the past, they had to process and dye jade to raise the price, which obviously told us that he was an expert in making and selling fake jade.
