Since entering the mountainous area, Xiao Qi felt unstable in his heart, and his right eyelid jumped straight.

As the old saying goes, the left eye jumps with wealth and the right eye jumps with disaster, could it be that something bad is going to happen?

Seeing that he was uneasy, the brother on the side asked:

"Brother Seven, what's wrong with you? In the past, you used to take your brothers to sing to liven up the atmosphere, but now there is no movement at all. ”

"It's nothing, I just don't think it's quite right, maybe I'm thinking too much." Xiao Qi shook his head and said it didn't matter.

"Eh~ It shouldn't be fine, right? We've been on this road several times, and we've never had an accident. The brother comforted.

"Well, I should have thought too much, okay, hurry up and hurry, I'll be there in half a day."

"Yes!"

As soon as the brother's words of promise fell, a muffled 'bang' was heard, followed by a scream from the rear of the group.

Xiao Qi only felt that his scalp was split instantly, and he squatted down and shouted:

"Enemy attack, hidden!"

Most of these brothers are novices, they haven't experienced any big scenes, they all followed Xiao Qi out to see the world, and when they heard the gunshots, they were stunned on the spot, and only a few brothers who had experienced the battle reacted quickly.

Leave others alone, take care of yourself, hide yourself behind the carriage, and take out your gun to fight back.

However, the other party seemed to be prepared, and the successive gunshots pressed everyone to dare not show their heads, and the ghost knew what the opponent's marksmanship was.

Bang bang bang, another series of suppressions, listening to the sound except for a shotgun, the rest are pistols.

Xiao Qi pressed the fire, turned around and copied the Chicago typewriter from his memory, and opened fire angrily.

Da Da ...

The iconic sound of gunfire echoed through the white mountains, and several figures were faintly visible hiding behind the trees, caught off guard by the sudden machine-gun fire.

Xiao Qi immediately shouted:

"Press up, counterattack, the other party does not dare to fire!"

This throat was like a reassuring pill, the rookies stabilized their emotions, pulled out their guns and fired back, and the bullets rained down.

The gap between those who have experienced war and those who have not experienced war is very big, and these people don't know how to react just now, and they are already red-eyed at this time.

The fierce shooting caused snow and fog, and the two sides could barely see where the other side was, so they could only rely on intuition to shoot blindly.

Xiao Qi emptied the magazine, panting and reloading, and shouted to his brother at the same time:

"Are there any injuries? Hurry up and pull the man back behind the carriage. ”

"Seventh brother, three brothers were seriously injured."

When Xiao Qi heard this, he smashed his fist on the ground:

"Damn, where did these guys come from?"

"Brother Seven, there are at least 5 people listening to the voice, but the firepower is not strong, why don't you rush forward? It's not an option. ”

Xiao Qi categorically refused:

"No, three brothers have been seriously injured and can't run to die."

Before the words fell, there was another scream.

"Seventh brother, it's a crossbow arrow, the other party has no bullets!"

Xiao Qi pricked up his ears, and sure enough, the gunfire on the opposite side was gone.

But the power of crossbow arrows is not small, Xiao Qi grew up with his two older brothers since he was a child, although he is not proficient, but he has eaten and seen it, and knows that the lethality of crossbow arrows is no less than a pistol to some extent.

He gritted his teeth:

"Cover me!"

Click, the bullet loaded, took a deep breath, and rushed out with all his strength.

Da da da, the dense bullets flew over, the other party couldn't raise his head, plus the cover of the other brothers' lives, Xiao Qi successfully rushed up the hill.

Leaning against a tree, he panted violently, poked his head out and glanced quickly, this time he saw clearly, 5 people, all dressed differently, but all wearing black masks on their faces.

This gang smashed, quite cautious.

Xiao Qi cursed in his heart, and quickly dodged and rushed towards the other party, and the cover under the hillside did not stop, creating a lot of space for Xiao Qi.

Finally came to the enemy's vicinity, and a blonde boy spotted Xiao Qi and hurriedly raised his gun to shoot.

But Xiao Qi finally reacted happily and began to strafe with a machine gun.

Instantly kill the other party's two living forces and bully them forward.

At this time, more than a dozen brothers under the mountain also rushed up and formed an encirclement of the enemy.

After 10 minutes, the battle ended, and Little Seven stepped on Britt:

"Say, who are you?"

Britt looks quite strong and timid, but he's actually a bad breed.

"Don't, don't kill me, I just want to grab some wine and make money."

Xiao Qi laughed angrily:

"Grab the wine? Then why kill my brother? ”

Of the three seriously injured brothers, two of them have already lost their breath, this is not a robbery, it is a murder.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to shoot to deter."

Britt's face turned white, he never thought that this group of Chinese was actually equipped with machine guns, he knew that there was such a powerful force configuration, and he couldn't say anything to their idea.

"Go down and bury my brother." Xiao Qi didn't want to talk nonsense, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at Britt's eyebrows, and he was about to shoot without saying a word.

But this guy didn't give up, and shouted:

"Don't kill me, I know of an untapped gold mine, only I know."

Xiao Qi sneered:

"You know? Then you don't develop it yourself, and you still have to wait until now? ”

"Nope! Listen to me, the environment over there is more complicated, and you can't make much gold by manpower, so you have to use machines! ”

In order to make Xiao Qi believe in himself, Britt used his strength to lobby hard.

"I don't believe the words of a murderer!"

With his index finger straining and about to pull the trigger, Britt shouted:

"I have proof! I have proof! ”

Well? Evidence?

"What evidence?"

"I have a piece of dog's head gold in my pocket, which was fished out of that gold mine, I can take you there, not far from here, if I am found to be lying, it will not be too late to shoot me when the time comes!"

This Britt is still bragging about his death, Jack thought sadly.

He felt that he had been pitted by a dead fat man, and if he hadn't bewitched himself, he might have dug up gold.

There have been many opinions about the true origin of the history of the Yukon Gold Rush, but one of them is relatively true:

In the summer of 1896, George Carmichak and several of his relatives were fishing for salmon at the mouth of the Klondike River.

A miner named Robert Henderson passed by their camp and chatted about his discovery of a small gold mine in Goldbottom Creek, a tributary of the Klondike River, and that Carmike was welcome to try his luck there, suggesting that he could look for it at nearby Hare Creek.

Henderson asked Carmich to tell him if he found something good in Hare Creek, but he didn't want his Indian relatives to go with him.

A few weeks later, Carmichael and two relatives arrived at Henderson's camp, but decided that the gold mines were not a big deal, so they went to Hare Creek, which ran parallel to the Golden Bottom Creek.

Not long after, one of the three suddenly spotted a natural nugget of gold lying on the bank of Hare Creek.

Several people were very excited and immediately got to work.

They dug up a few pots of gravel by the river for simple scouring and sedimentation, and they were amazed by what was left in the basins:

They had never seen so much coarse gold before.

That night they set up camp by the river, and the next morning the three of them decided how to divide the gold mine.

George Carmichak marked a small spruce tree to indicate that they had discovered it, and he carved a new name for Hare Creek, Bonanza Creek, into the bark.

Together, the trio traveled to a nearby town to register the discovery of the gold mine.

On the way, they shared the good news with everyone they met on the way, but they didn't tell Henderson.

Just a few days later, the gold rush began.

When Henderson heard the news and rushed to Bonanza Creek to find that all the places had been divided and occupied by gold prospectors, the man who had pointed out the direction of the search for gold for Carmicha and the others had lost the opportunity to dig for gold forever.

The following year, the Alaska Mercantile Corporation's steamship sailed into San Francisco Bay, laden with weary Klondike gold prospectors and more than $500,000 worth of gold.

A day or two later, the steamship Portland of the North American Transportation Trading Company was also leaning against the Seattle harbor with 68 Klondike gold diggers and more than $1 million worth of gold.

Nearly all the newspapers in San Francisco were making headlines at the time, and in Seattle, more than 5,000 people gathered on the docks to welcome the Gold Diggers aboard the Portland.

The news quickly made headlines in newspapers around the world.

When the Portland left Seattle for the north a few days later, it was already full of travelers dreaming of making a fortune in the Klondike, and more than 1,500 people on shore did not board.

Whatever the reason, no one can resist the lure of gold.

The Klondike Gold Rush erupted when people from the Ugly Country, the Maple Leaf Country, Europe, Australia, Neon and other corners of the world took action and began to make plans to pan for gold in remote areas of Canada's northwest corner.

In just a few days, people who wanted to get rich overnight rushed north, and at least 100,000 people went to Dawson, and they were in a hurry, like a herd of cattle scurrying, so some jokingly called it the "Klondike Shepherd's Contest".

They traveled from all over the world, by water, by land, and by sea.

Many people come here in late summer and early winter by the Klondike River.

Because of the scarcity of supplies nearby, they had to bring a lot of their daily necessities, and many people did not expect the winter to be so cold, many froze to death, died of disease, and even committed suicide because they could not bear the harsh environment;

Some persisted until the following spring, when the snow melted to set up rafts and paddle down the river to Dawson.

But most people don't know the ropes of raft building or boating, so it's easy to drown in the Whitehorse Rapids and the Faffinger Rapids further north.

Later, the RCMP intervened, sent home those with insufficient equipment and clothing, and trained a group of qualified boatmen, and the death toll only decreased.

The famous writer Jack London also joined the gold rush as a young man, earning $3,000 as a boatman in Whitehorse, and later Dawson kept the log cabin where he lived, and his works also have memories of this life.

Many people made their fortune panning for gold, and in 1896, the river near Dawson mined a total of 14,000 ounces of gold, which increased to 120,000 ounces in 1897.

It peaked in 1900 and broke through to 1 million ounces.

In Dawson, casinos and teenage girls do everything they can to suck into the fortunes of the gold diggers – and often they are successful.

For the gold diggers, luck is not always on their side.

By 1901, the amount of gold found around the Klondike was dwindling, and three years later, steam-activated mining machines replaced labor, so all those who dreamed of making a fortune had to go home, and the Klondike Gold Rush came to an end.

However, there are still people who do not give up, trying to catch the last train, such as Britt, such as Jack.

Not to mention, Britt is really a fool and a fool, in Dawson for ten years, although he has a good income, there has not been much ups and downs.

finally made a ruthless attack, and almost put himself in.

In order to save his life, he did not hesitate to contribute his biggest discovery in 10 years, a stream full of gold mines.

Today's weather was gloomy and there was no snow, but due to the high altitude, the road was all icy and foggy, and the visibility was 10 meters, so it was almost impossible to see the road ahead.

The trees along the road are getting shorter and shorter, and there are more birch trees.

The scenery is still beautiful, but the battle and the inexplicable anticipation of gold have left everyone with no time to be distracted by the roadside scenery, and their minds are full of getting to the gold mine that Britt said about as soon as possible.

The wilderness road they were on crossed two mountain ranges, with snow-covered mountains in front of them.

Leaving the fog barrier area, the mountain in front of it is about less than 1,000 meters above sea level, the coniferous forest is basically gone, only shrubs and lichens remain, not far away is a light blue, and there are small pieces of dark clouds, just like the lakes and islands in the fairyland, in fact, it is just the blue sky over the plain behind the mountain.

Climbing over the mountains is a different view, the mountains in the distance are completely covered with snow, the hills are only covered with snow at the tops, and the trees in front of you are covered with frost, and the proportion of white varies from more to less.

The road in front of me is always snow-white, and even the ruts of the carriage are not visible, and the snow will not really melt until summer comes.

After walking for about three hours, it was late, the sunset appeared, and the snow-capped mountains and jungles changed color, more vivid and brighter.

There are no hotels for everyone to rest here, so you can only set up tents and sleep in the wild, which is not beautiful, it is too cold.

But they were lucky, and found a hunter's cabin, which really began to feel like a polar region, in the vast wasteland, the snow was half a foot thick, the blue sky was clean and refreshing, a bird streaked across the sky, and white smoke streaked across the sky from east to west, gradually spreading, and disappeared into the red clouds.

When the sun was setting, the clouds in the west were reflected red by the last rays of the sun, and the moon was rising not far away.

Seeing such a beautiful and spectacular scenery, I forgot all about the cold and fatigue of the day, and just wanted to keep the beautiful scenery and take a second look.

Entering the wooden house, the brothers lit a fireplace bonfire, and it was as warm as spring in an instant.

Don't look at only this room, it is fully equipped, the environment in the house is no worse than the hotel in the town, and the functional area is divided.

On the four walls of the restaurant, there are various specimens: black bears, moose, musk oxen, arctic foxes... Like the Museum of Polar Zoology.

This makes everyone feel that this is not an ordinary hunter's hut, but more like a holiday villa built here by some wealthy man.

No matter what, you don't have to pay, just enjoy it first.
