Chapter 088: The Burner

In fact, it is not the first time that I have come into contact with the "medicine" culture circulating in Tibetan areas. The last time I fought with the ancient Tibetan religion, I had enough of suffering, and they used the "prescriptions" circulated in ancient books to develop terrible "medicines", which still make me afraid.

After a while, Deyang Ram suddenly bent down and approached Tenzin. At the scene, I was not the only one who was curious, Xu Yaxian was a nurse by profession, so she was naturally quite suspicious of this, but as an angel in white who saved lives, she did not rush to save people at this moment, she was completely stupid by the scene just now. Fortunately, Caiyun is taking care of her on the side, speaking of Caiyun, what she is good at is Gu, in essence, it is the same origin as the so-called "medicine" of the horse gang.

I craned my neck to see what Deyang Ram was doing, but I was shouted by Uncle Ciwang, or I couldn't say that I couldn't do bad things, and I almost jumped up after his fright.

Uncle Ciwang glared at me and made a gesture of losing his head. I gasped and said that there are indeed many taboos among Tibetans. Soon, Deyang Ram stood up and walked towards us, and I saw that Tenzin on the ground had not changed much, so I hurriedly asked her about the result.

Deyang Ram stretched out his right hand unhurriedly and said, "You see, it's the 'fire burner'. ”

"Fireman" refers to the father-in-law in incestuous among his daughters-in-law. But what Deyang Ram is referring to is actually a small fish in the stream, which is called "fire man" in Sichuan, but there are also places that call it "Bodhisattva fish", "flower girl", "brown sugar fish" and so on

In fact, "Burning Fire Guy" is a kind of Chinese betta fish, the body length is generally not more than ten centimeters, the color is bright and very good-looking, so it is often raised as an ornamental fish. On rainy days, the fish is found everywhere in the gaps in the fields and in the drainage canals, but it is basically uneaten because of its small size, small meat and rough meat. But the rural people will also catch it back and feed it to pigs, ducks, and so on.

The "fire guy" has a strong reproductive ability, is also resistant to low temperatures, and is very easy to raise, but now the "Bodhisattva fish" is also difficult to find. This is mainly because the fish "burner" has high requirements for water quality, and the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has become the ghost of this wild fish, making them gradually disappear in rural ditches.

Rare is expensive, because of the reduction of its quantity, now it is difficult to buy this kind of fish for friends who love to raise ornamental fish, naturally it has become fragrant and sweet, this kind of fish is now in the fish market, only one can be sold for 10 yuan. It can be regarded as a gorgeous counterattack, from pig feed that no one cares about, to a valuable fragrant bait.

At first, I only thought I had heard it wrong, but after a closer look, I saw Deyang Ram holding the leaf that had just been chewed in his hand, and a small and strange cyan fry slowly came out of the rotten leaf, which was indescribably weird.

Xu Yaxian and I looked at each other, not knowing what this thing was.

The people in the horse gang were like great enemies, and some of them snorted and shouted: "I said that this Tenzin is not a good thing, he has been secretly carrying private goods all these years, you see, he is drugged, there must be a conspiracy here." ”

The others started talking about it, and they all said that Tenzin was not a thing, and it was quite a bit of a downfall.

Uncle Ciwang's face was as pale as iron, he glanced at Tenzin who was lying on the ground, his lips trembled up and down, and finally stomped his feet and shouted, "No matter what, set up camp first." Deyang Ram, Tenzin will leave it to you for the time being, take good care of it. ”

The few horse breeders immediately exploded the pot, and some people were unwilling, saying that there were people in the team with traditional Chinese medicine, which was a bad luck and would hurt the happiness of others. These horse breeders are extremely righteous on weekdays, and they don't care about bloodletting and inserting knives for their brothers, but they are quite taboo about "medicine", and they would rather risk the anger of Uncle Ciwang to kick Tenzin out of the team.

Uncle Ciwang clenched his fist, and I thought he was going to beat someone, but he shook it a few times and then let go, thinking that he didn't want to be rough with his brothers.

Deyang Ram suddenly clapped his hands and said to everyone: "You dislike him for having medicine on him, aren't you hinting that you want to drive me out!" ”

It is a well-known fact that Deyang Ram was born into a family of medicines, and she deliberately embarrassed them by saying this.

Sure enough, a few men didn't dare to offend Deyang Ram, and hurriedly said no.

"Since there is no opinion, then they are all dispersed, feed the horses, set up camp, and wait for Lausanne to return. Whoever mentions it again will receive the whip himself. Uncle Ciwang took the opportunity to take over the conversation, he waved the horse whip in his hand, and everyone immediately dispersed, collecting firewood and piling, and set up the camp one after another.

Uncle Ciwang looked around and smiled bitterly at me: "The world is different, people's hearts can't be held, and the team is not easy to lead!" Hahahaha, it makes you laugh. ”

"Where, you're amazing!" I waved at him and asked if I could help. He glanced at Deyang Ram and Qiangba and said to me, "Since I took this batch of goods, I have felt wrong. But a manly man, 'a word is spoken, and the horse is difficult to chase'. I don't have anything myself, I'm just worried about these two little guys...... If, I mean if, something went wrong with me, I hope you can ...... Take care of them for a ride. ”

For some reason, I heard an unspeakable hint from Uncle Ciwang's words, and while nodding in agreement, I comforted him and said, "But for a while, the sun always has to rise." Get some sleep, and tomorrow will be fine. ”

At this time, the sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded in the woods, and Uncle Ciwang smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that this night, I won't even have to sleep." ”

I looked over to see the source of the sound, and saw Lausanne and another companion leap out of the dark woods, their horses neighing incessantly, and they seemed to faint with two men on their backs.

Luosang dismounted, he was sweating profusely, and ran up quickly towards Uncle Ciwang: "Damn, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's fast horse, all four of them would die." ”

It turned out that Lausanne did not dare to drive the horses after entering the woods, for fear that the noise would be too loud and expose the target, and when the time came, they would quarrel with the night watchmen.

Lausanne followed the traces of the two guys all the way to the depths of the woods, and he knew that something would happen if he chased him any more, so he decisively decided to retreat, not wanting to be in front of him, but suddenly there was a "whoosh" arrow rain. He knew that the mechanism of the Night's Watch had been touched, and he was hesitating to come to his rescue, but he saw a figure moving in their direction, and when he looked closely, it was the man who had escaped earlier. The two guys were so frightened that they were screaming and screaming. Lausanne couldn't see it, so he rushed into the forest first, opened his bow left and right, and dragged the two of them to run.

"Something that didn't make a living, and then I fainted." Lausanne tore the two off their horses and yelled at them, "Don't fucking pretend to be grandchildren, open your eyes and tell me what the hell is going on!" ”

The two of them had already been frightened by a series of things, they were stunned for a while, and explained that I listened to it for a long time, but I was still in the clouds, only knowing that Tenzin had been secretly trafficking in smuggled goods behind Ciwang's back, and almost every single business carried thirty percent of the private goods, Tenzin once said to a few of their subordinates that if this batch of goods became a few people, they could ensure that several people had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and if there was a mistake, it would not be spared.

"Traitor."

"That is, he sold illicit goods behind our backs."

"It's really blinding."

Everyone didn't speak after scolding, waiting for Uncle Ciwang to speak. He pondered for a moment and said, "Things have come to this point, and it's no fun to make trouble." What should everyone do, tie up their nests, avoid the swollen river beach, and gather at the entrance of the woods. As for these two, Lausanne, they are both in your tent and take good care of them. Let's get busy as usual! ”

Uncle Ciwang's speech is very infectious, and we are clearly suspicious at the moment, and he sent everyone away with a few words.

I took some tools for setting up tents from the cargo horse and set up my own tent with Ren Yonghai. After the caravan had set up a nest, everyone dispersed, and the four of us gathered in the tent to discuss what had just happened.

"Did you see it?"

"Nonsense, I recognize something so conspicuous that it turns to dust." Ren Yonghai nodded, "I thought I was wrong, there is a ...... hidden there." Is it really a black zongzi? ”

I recalled the scene at that time, Tenzin's reaction was so violent that I didn't have time to carefully identify whether the stump in the water had fallen from the zongzi, but the characteristic rancid smell was almost emanating from the corpse.

"Tenzin is almost rotting into a shuttle now. It's not a way for us to speculate wildly, anyway, it's still a while before dawn, why don't you open another box and come out and see what they are transporting? ”

Ren Yonghai said that it was illegal to open other people's belongings without permission, and when I asked him what about it, Ren Yonghai said solemnly: "But this is an extraordinary time, and we can't be too pedantic." Personally, I believe that your views are acceptable and that I intend to support them in action. ”

"Lao Ren, you ......" I couldn't help but shake my head, "We are in the mountains, not in the police station, you have to be realistic." ”

After saying that, a few of us found out of the tent, first looked at the movements of the horse breeders, and found that a few of them had already driven the horses to eat. Deyang Ram boiled water by the campfire, while Uncle Ciwang and Lobsang sat at the door of their tent, chatting and smoking cigarette pouches.

The big tent of the inventory was set up on the edge of the woods, and I guessed that Tenzin's two men must be guarding in front of their shopkeeper by now, and would not bother to take care of the pile of black chests, and now that there was no one around, it was a good time to check the goods. So, we quickly sneaked into the big tent where the black boxes were kept.

In order to avoid being discovered by outsiders, we did not bring a flashlight, but made a small opening in the side of the tent with its back to the camp, and drew a little moonlight in for lighting. Made of four main poles and a huge damp-proof canvas, the tent is rudimentary but practical in the mountains.

"Lin Kun, I've gone to see it, the whole tent is about four or five square meters, Tenzin's cargo box is stacked in the middle of the tent, and the box that was broken earlier has disappeared, I don't know if it was collected by the horse gang or Tenzin's people." Ren Yonghai whispered.

There were originally ten large boxes, but now there are only nine left, and the three three and one bases are arranged very neatly. We wanted to sneak open one of them, so we climbed to the top layer to find out. I first squatted on the ground, lifted Ren Yonghai up, and then jumped up relying on the small gap between the wooden boxes as a stepping point. Ren Yonghai climbed between the top of the box, which box I dismantled. I looked left and right, and felt that there was no big difference, so I picked out the black wooden box on the far left.

"This box has a wax seal, so it's hard to get it." Ren Yonghai picked the seal on the mouth of the box, "Now that it's opened, there will definitely be trouble when you turn around." ”

"That's it, use a lighter, you block the light, I baked the edge of the wax strip, this thing is just a decoration as soon as it is opened, and then go back and paste it on them, and besides, it is bumpy all the way, and it is not a big deal if there are some places that are damaged."

Ren Yonghai and I knelt on the top of the box, Xu Yaxian and Caiyun were in charge of letting out the wind, and soon the wax seal of the fish head pattern was roasted soft. I picked it with a knife and peeled it off entirely. The most troublesome are those tarps with a left and right layer.

I finally cleaned the tarp on the black box, revealing the large black lacquered wooden box inside. But we encountered a new problem, this box was nailed with inch-long steel nails, and there were traces of steel nails sealing the box at all corners.
