Chapter Twenty-Seven: Golden

Savage Tun is closed, the news here is also closed, since the three of us carried a tiger down the mountain, no one has underestimated us, not to mention that Daddy Miao is in this word, our status is naturally rising.

The fat man is proficient in machinery, and there is an old generator in the tunzi that has been rectified, and the lights in the village are turned on at once. Cha Wenbin is full of poems, and occasionally he will show a child a look, which is quite a little gentleman. As for me, although I seem to be a make-up number, I have a good mouth, and I can't stop screaming when I see my uncle and aunt when I get older. All in all, in the Savage Tun, the evaluation and interpersonal relationship of our wave of educated youth is still good, so the fat man went door to door and began to borrow ropes, all at this point, the people in the Tunzi also felt strange, who doesn't want to know what is under such a deep pool? In addition, the fat man said, this is a treasure cave, if the treasure in it is found out and belongs to the collective, good guy, as soon as these words came out, the team secretary immediately got on the loudspeaker and began to mobilize.

Almost all the ropes that could be used from house to house were collected, and the belts of the old men's trousers were not unfastened, and Miao Lan took a group of women to be responsible for weaving soft ladders. Because the pond is so deep that the terrain below more than ten meters is completely black, the brigade secretary made an exception to collect the only few mine lamps in the commune, in order to prevent accidents, the fat man also asked Miao Dad to borrow a shotgun, and it was noon when he was busy with these.

The weather was not the best that day, the sky was gloomy, not only us, but also a few other young people in the tunzi also wanted to go down together, and the fat man was sent away with a lot of fright. The whole pond is full of people, several pumping machines are still working, from time to time there is water that can be pumped up, but it is not full, one is too deep, and the other is estimated to have bottomed out. We were like soldiers on an expedition, the fat man waved goodbye to the villagers by the pond, and Cha Wenbin and I followed in turn.

There is no safety rope, and there is no protection, to be honest, we do this work just to catch a few fish, which is enough to show how innocent we were back then. On my back is a fish basket, Cha Wenbin on his back is a net, climbed down for more than half an hour and finally saw the bottom, look up, we only have a large piece of light above the bowl, this time finally realized what is called the frog at the bottom of the well.

Contrary to what I had imagined, the mud below was only a shallow layer that didn't cover the vamp, and the water was only up to the ankles. The water pipe of the pumping machine is still under the water, gurgling and bubbling from time to time, we turn on the miner's lamp and look around, this underground world is not worse than we imagined, but it is more than 20 square meters, and we can sweep to the edge at a glance.

The fat man shouted to Cha Wenbin to give him the net, and looked around under his feet with a miner's lamp, and the fat man was completely disappointed after looking for it.

In the face of such a large space, the eyes of the three of us are fine, not to mention the seven or eight pounds of big fish that often bubble on the surface of the water, and we don't even see a small fry.

The fat man danced wildly in the water with a net, and there was nothing but a thin layer of silt, and the boy drooped his head and muttered, "What a fucking evil, where is this fish?" ”

I pointed to a few openings in the corner that were still gushing out of the water and said, "You have entered the cave, do you still need to think about it?" ”

The fat man squatted down to the gaps and gestured with his hand, "Where do you say this water comes from?" Could it be that it leads to the river outside, and we drained the water here, and the fish followed these paths and went into the river again? ”

It seems that we have been working in vain for the past few days, and said to the fat man: "There is also this possibility, otherwise how to explain where those fish went." ”

Cha Wenbin said coldly: "Do you think that the eighteen ponds are all connected?" ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "Then who knows, if it is really connected together, we smoke it all one bite at a time, then the fish will have nowhere to run, right?" ”

"I always feel that this place is artificially opened, and you can see that the lines on these stones are deep and shallow, and they don't look like they were formed by water, and the pattern here looks like a room."

After Cha Wenbin reminded me of this, I noticed that there were really some similarities, there were two neatly cut stones on the east side that looked a little like a stool, and the long stone in the middle looked like a bed. But apart from these, there is nothing else, it stands to reason that it is really a manual excavation project, and such a large scale should leave a little graphic information, but we have turned over this palm-sized place and have not seen it.

The three of us returned empty-handed, and when we saw the lively people looking at the fat man's muddy appearance, they quipped: "General Shi, are you planting rice in the fish pond?" ”

Who can compare to the fat man's poor kung fu? "How can you plant seedlings, I can tell you, there is a treasure down here, but the baby has long legs and can walk, run around, and slip into the pond next door."

Someone asked curiously, "What baby?" ”

The fat man secretly pulled the man to his ear and moved his mouth a few times, his eyes looked around for a while, and then he patted him on the shoulder and said loudly: "Brother, you can keep this matter secret, it's not good for too many people to know." ”

Then we swaggered away from the scene, leaving the guy alone just now surrounded by a group of fellows to find out the news.

To say that the kid who stayed at the scene could really break it, in fact, the fat man didn't tell him anything, and he didn't want the whole village to wear a dragon with golden horns under it after an afternoon passed, saying that he was holding a cornucopia on his back. The kid was worried that the fat man threw a penny into the basin, but when he took it out, it became two cents, but it was a pity that it slipped away. He said that he had a nose and eyes, so that in the end I went to the fat man to verify, but I didn't expect the kid to give me a sentence: "I didn't tell him anything, just moved my mouth twice so as not to be surrounded, you know, the diesel fuel in the village is not for nothing, if we can't get something to explain to the secretary, I'm afraid that the work in the second half of the year will be earned in vain." ”

I gave him a blank look: "It's not all your bad idea, we can count on that little bit of work." ”

The fat man looked at Yuan Xiaobai innocently and said: "Xiaobai, you can be fair, my brothers are for you, and I am thinking that when you eat fish, I will make some soup and drink......

Yuan Xiaobai was amused by the fat man with a "poof", and said with a smile: "Then how can you lie, now it has all spread, will you do tricks, one point becomes two points?" ”

The fat man spread his hands: "The proletarian revolution will be carried out to the end, and the breeze on both sleeves will not bring steel jumping!" ”

Seeing that they were all looking demoralized, I proposed, "Why don't we try another spit?" ”

The fat man glanced at me and said: "You don't need money to be diesel, the book you use these days is going to hurt your grandmother's house, this place is not as good as the outside, that bit of oil is an annual agricultural production subsidy, and I have not been willing to use it, and I have given us a few wastes." If you have the ability, you go and talk to him, I don't mind taking another sip of the pond. ”

Cha Wenbin stood up and said to the fat man: "I'll go and speak, and you will be responsible for pumping." ”

"Cha Ye? You? The fat man shook his head and said: "I know that you are not a mortal, and even the fox spirit has to kowtow when he sees you, but our village party secretary is a master who recognizes money and does not recognize people, so you should forget it." ”

What the fat man said is not unreasonable, indeed, Cha Wenbin does have a feeling of "head" in our wave of people, this feeling is tacit, and it is the gradual recognition of him in everyone's hearts. But in the eyes of those fellow villagers in Savage Tun, Cha Wenbin is just a silent foreign intellectual, and if you want to communicate with them, he is not as good as me, let alone Xiaobai and the fat man.

"Don't worry, I'll let him nod my head, but I'll talk about the ugly words first, and when the time comes, if there is something under the water, none of us are allowed to have selfish intentions to let everyone go together."

The fat man grinned and said, "Isn't it just a few fish, I'll eat a tail at most, the fish head and fish meat are given to Xiaobai, you two drink soup......"

Cha Wenbin walked to the door lightly and looked outside a few times, and after making sure that no one was there, he closed the doors and windows again, and then said to us: "Come here, show you something, Xiaobai, you light the kerosene lamp." ”

Seeing his mysterious appearance, we surrounded us, four people crawled on the table, Cha Wenbin took out something from his pocket and threw it on the table, "snap", and several of us were dumbfounded.

A round yellow metal, slightly larger than the silver dollar of the past, its surface shone with a glittering golden glow in the light of a kerosene lamp.

"Where did it come from?" The fat man asked in a whisper.

"Below the pond, just this one, I'm afraid you two won't dare to say it when you two come up and make a noise."

"Golden?" I asked.

Yuan Xiaobai picked up the thing and glanced at us, then put it in her mouth and bit it gently, took it out and looked at it, a faint tooth mark, she pretended to be calm and said, "Golden!" ”
