Chapter 164: Guarding the Mountain

The jade mountain in the village is determined, the sky is getting dark, although Ma Dashan and several of them are locked in the shed, and some of the young people's minds are not stable and can't sleep, they all get up spontaneously and go to the south slope to look at the jade mountain.

The village chief organized a group of people to build a shack near Yushan and bring up more than a dozen kerosene lamps, and more than 20 people were on duty there.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Kou Juncheng drove the ox cart, pulled the lock post and the lock post daughter-in-law rushed back, and heard that the men in the village had gone to the south hillside, unloaded the car, put on a piece of clothing, locked the door of their house, and also went to the south hillside.

"Village Chief, it's windy here, you go back, I'll just watch here."

As soon as he arrived at the southern slope, he saw the village chief and a few people burying wooden stakes to fix the shack, and Kou Juncheng took off his clothes and took over the work.

"Juncheng, you've been busy all day, you haven't even eaten a mouthful of food, go to my house and ask your aunt to get you something to eat."

The village chief couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he watched Kou Juncheng's round arms and knock on the wooden stake one by one.

"I've eaten, I'm not hungry, it's windy here, you can go back, just keep an eye on us, the family is here, don't worry, nothing happens."

Kou Juncheng said and pointed to a row of shovels and hoes standing next to him, and brought them over to work and use them for self-defense.

The village chief knew Kou Juncheng's temper, and he didn't follow him, and after a few words, he went back with a kerosene lamp, left the flashlight, and specially told Cai Jianguo that when the shack was finished, go to his house to get two batteries.

It was not cold in the middle of the night, but it was windy, and several people held kerosene lamps with glass covers, for fear of being blown out by the wind, a total of twenty-five people, in groups of five, took turns to stand guard outside.

Kou Juncheng guarded the first shift, rolled a cigarette, sat on the stone next to him, smoked, looked at the direction of the village, many families did not sleep, presumably also worried about Yushan and the villagers who looked at Yushan.

"Brother Juncheng, how much do you think this jade mountain can be sold for?"

The people of the village walked to Kou Juncheng's side, threw the hoe, sat on the hoe handle, lit a cigarette, and smoked it.

"I don't know, the price of this jade, how can you and I people know, now we are waiting for the village chief and expert Gu to develop this jade mountain, our village can be regarded as getting rid of poverty and becoming rich."

After speaking, Kou Juncheng also took a sharp puff of cigarette and spat out a long smoke ring.

"If you want to say that our village, how can there be such a poor, and the people in the village are not lazy, but the sky does not make us rich, nine disasters in ten years, this cadre has changed because of how much our village has changed, if you want me to say, it is also the turn of our village to be rich."

Kou Juncheng doesn't know, over the years, he has eaten in Tu Kela, not to mention meat, as long as he can eat to his heart's content, he doesn't pick anything to eat.

"When this jade mountain is good, we will also build roads, and like in the township, we will have electricity, and then buy a black and white TV, and live a personal life, we are no better than your family, what do you want, and there are two factories."

Listening to him, the people next to him also laughed, and several people also came over and started gossiping.

Kou Juncheng listened to them talk about his wishes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never disappeared for a moment, if there was such a day, he would be able to wake up with a smile in his dreams.

"Who's there, come out!"

Just as everyone was getting carried away while talking, people not far away suddenly shouted, threw down cigarette butts, and Cai Jianguo and several people hurriedly ran over, all carrying hoes in their hands.

"What's going on?"

Kou Juncheng leaned over and held a flashlight in the direction that the man shouted, and there was nothing in the dark.

"I just heard movement over there."

Hearing this, everyone clenched the household activity in their hands, held their breath and leaned in that direction.

"Be careful!"

Kou Juncheng lowered his voice and instructed, everyone nodded again and again, after all, there was a lesson from the lock pillar, no one dared to be careless, he forgot to bring out his gun.

The footsteps of several people were very light, and suddenly they heard a rustling sound in the grass in the distance.

"You stand still, I'll see for myself."

Kou Juncheng raised his hand to stop the person behind him, and slowly walked over there with a flashlight.

The back of the whole person slowly sweated, and the hand holding the flashlight couldn't help but tense.

Suddenly, a black shadow flew out of the grass, Kou Juncheng turned sideways to dodge, only to feel the wind in his ears, and when he turned around again, looking at the black shadow squatting on the trunk, several people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a wild civet cat."

Kou Juncheng also breathed a sigh of relief, took a flashlight and took a photo, and several people also wiped the sweat on their faces and walked towards Kou Juncheng.

"Brother Juncheng."

Kou Juncheng patted the shoulder of the brother who approached, grinned, said that it was okay, and then returned to everyone, without the slightest relaxation.

There was nothing to do all night, and when it was dawn, the people in the shack were really relieved, relying on the shack to close their eyes and recuperate.

The village chief also brought people over early to change shifts, and also asked his daughter-in-law to prepare meals in advance, settled these young men who had not slept all night, and waited for the people in the town on the south slope with people.

I went to the town overnight to deliver a letter, and when the town heard the news of Yushan, I sent someone to follow, and more than a dozen people came from the police station, followed the village chief and Gu Expert to talk about the deployment of guards, so that the young and strong people in the village also cooperated with the care.

With the help of the town's police station, the hearts of the people in the village slowly relaxed.

Kou Juncheng went home to catch up on sleep, and when he woke up, it was afternoon, and he ate a bite at home after watching Xi Menglan cook the meal.

"You still have to go to the south slope, if you don't have a comrade from the town police station, don't go, take a good rest."

Xi Menglan walked over with dishes and chopsticks, looking at Kou Juncheng's neat appearance of playing and going out, Xi Menglan thought that he hadn't rested well for several days, and felt a little distressed.

"I don't go to the south slope, there are police comrades over there, I went to Suozhu's house, his injury is very serious, and he still needs some medicine, and I will ask Zhang Lao to prepare some anti-inflammatory drugs and send it to Suozhu."

Kou Juncheng took the porridge bowl, took a big sip, looked at Chen Lianhua and said.

"If you want to talk about the injuries of the lock pillars, it's really scary, it's all exposed, but fortunately, the bones haven't been injured yet, God bless."

Simonlan's hand holding the bowl paused, and her brow furrowed when she talked about the wound on the lock pillar.

"The doctor said that he had to take anti-inflammatory drugs for stitches, for fear that he would have a high fever, so I told his daughter-in-law to take good care of him, and the rest was up to him."

"Let's eat, don't think about it so much."

Xi Menglan looked at Cai Jianguo and smiled.

"What about the two children?"

"The old lady and Xue Rou took them away, don't they all go to bask in the sun at this time."

Xi Menglan glanced in the direction of the door, and Kou Juncheng followed suit, nodded, and sighed.

"I remember that Junzi and Dong'er, the two children, have always wanted to fly into the sky and always want to fly planes."

I heard that there was a jade mountain in Zhifu Village, and the big cadres and small cadres in the county, township, and a radius of several miles all came to Zhifu Village to come and see, and the village chief was busy with the group, and even Kou Juncheng was not idle, helping to greet the cadres.

The car of the county exploration team could not enter, and the instruments and equipment were all pulled in by the ox carts in the village, and the village chief said that the village gave the money, and the big guys did not raise another fund.

Cai Jun looked at the exploration team and instruments and equipment on the southern slope from a distance, he had never seen such high equipment, he was really surprised and curious.

Cai Dani and Zhou Shen were also watching behind them, several pairs of eyes kept blinking, although they thought differently, but they all focused on the machine.

"You say, what's that thing that suddenly smokes?"

Cai Dani put her hands on the pergola, looked at it with half-squinted eyes, and turned her head to ask Cai Jun next to her.

"I don't know, it's probably a very powerful thing, I didn't listen to what Gu Expert said, that thing can be seen if we are here is the entire Jade Mountain."

Cai Jun hasn't seen it either, but he is curious at all.

"I guess that's how high the plane is."

Meng Dong also looked at the equipment and exclaimed.

At the mention of the plane, the faces of several people were expectant again, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but hook.

"The plane should be as high as this, we have to grow up quickly, otherwise we won't be able to climb up."

Zhou Shen nodded and said, but Cai Jun didn't say anything, his eyes were always on that device, and he was secretly thinking about other things in his heart.

"I heard that tomorrow our village will come to the engineering team, saying that they are going to start digging the mountain."

Zhou Shen looked at Cai Jun and said loudly.

"My dad also said that it seems to be more than a dozen people, and when the time comes, they will live in our village, which is really lively."

Meng Dong also said with excitement on his face.

Cai Jun's eyes dimmed, he also heard about it, and the accommodation of the engineering team was arranged at his own house, the village chief and Uncle Cai asked what he meant, thinking that what his father told him, it was good to be able to do more for the village, so he agreed.

"When these jades are sold for money, we will be able to live a good life."

Cai Dani looked at Cai Jun with a smile on her face, turned around, held her chin and continued: "When the time comes, I will eat popsicles every day." ”

"Look at your little bit of income, when our village has money, why don't we have to eat meat."

Meng Dong disagreed with Cai Dani's opinion and stood next to him to refute.

Cai Dani and Meng Dong were arguing, but Zhou Shen next to him did not speak, because his family raised pigs, and meat was not a rare thing for him to eat.

"Junzi, what are you thinking?"

Seeing that Cai Jun didn't speak for a long time, Zhou Shen walked to Cai Jun's side and patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm wondering, if the stones in this mountain are sold, will our mountain be gone, and then this place will be as empty as flat land."

"Of course, the jade here has been dug up, and the mountain is naturally gone."

Zhou Shen didn't understand the meaning of Cai Jun's words, and blurted out without his brain.

Cai Jun's eyes were dim, and he stared at the southern slope for a long time, and then turned around and left, without even saying a word.

The remaining three people looked at Cai Jun's strange behavior, glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and didn't know why.

When the exploration team came back, they reported the situation to the cadres in the county, and the big guys knew that this was not the whole mountain, but only a fifteen-meter-wide jade belt.

Although it is a little different from what I expected, fortunately, it is a high-grade jade, which is worth a lot of money, so I didn't worry too much about it.

The county cadres held a meeting on the spot, formulated a plan for mining and development, and after the deployment, the village went up the blockade line on the southern slope of the mountain, except for the exploration team, the others were not allowed to go up the mountain, saying that it was to ensure the integrity of the jade.

The village chief ordered people to pull banners in the village, and they were killing pigs and chickens to entertain these cadres and exploration team people, and the people in the village were also busy Zhang Luo, all of whom had a smile on their faces, even if they killed their own big roosters, they didn't feel distressed.

Cai Jun sat in the corner of the dining table, watching everyone raise their glasses and drink, he only ate a few bites of food, he couldn't eat anymore, thinking that the mountains on the southern slope of the mountain had become flat, he felt uncomfortable, and he didn't stay long, so he went out early.

On the north slope, Cai Jun sat in front of his parents' graves, leaned on their tombstones, looked up at the south slope, and raised his finger.

"Dad, Mom, you see, that's Yushan, I heard the adults say that it can be sold for a lot of money, and when the time comes, it will be distributed to the village, and every family can live a good life."

When I said this, my heart tugged, and suddenly I stopped, and tears rolled in my eyes.

"Dad, Mom, you're not here, even if it's the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the army can't eat it, but you can't enjoy this good day."

Cai Jun turned around and hugged the tombstone and cried at the tombstone.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Cai Jun wiped his tears, turned his head and looked at Cai Baoman standing far away without coming.

"Uncle."

Cai Jun got up and patted the soil on his body, and ran directly into Cai Baoman's arms.

"Junzi, Uncle knows that you feel uncomfortable, come and sit here, Uncle will accompany you to bask in the sun, and by the way, stay with your parents for a while."

Cai Baoman pulled Cai Jun to sit down, hugged him in his arms, and looked at the southern slope in the distance.

"Your father and your mother can't think about it because of the poverty of the family, when I leave, I entrust you to me, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of you, and I eat broken rice porridge and yellow steamed buns, without decent meals, for fear of treating you badly."

Cai Baoman paused and touched Cai Jun's head.

"Okay now, with jade, we all have money, and we will leave your parents' share to you, and use this money for you to go to school and learn to fly an airplane."

When he heard the three words of flying the plane, Cai Jun tilted his head and looked at Cai Baoman.

"Don't you say that Uncle also knows, you want to learn to fly an airplane, you want to go to the sky, right?"

Cai Jun was stunned, he had never spoken to others, not even his parents, how did he know.

"Don't think about it, Uncle guessed it, when the plane flew over, you little guys watched every day, and it took an hour to go home, what you children think, we all know, but we don't say it."

Cai Baoman smiled at Cai Jun.

"Has Uncle ever seen an airplane?"

Cai Jun also came out of the sad mood just now, pillowed on Cai Baoman's lap, and asked leisurely.

Cai Baoman shook his head and sighed, and Cai Jun's eyes dimmed.

"I heard that there seems to be a college student in tomorrow's engineering team who has seen airplanes."

"Really?"

Cai Jun sat up all of a sudden.
