Sixty-eight
Liu Biding never imagined that the search for Ni Kesong would evolve into a small long march in a strange ravine. He and the middle-aged mountain man, riding a donkey, followed Ni Kesong's footprints on the mountain trail for three days and two nights. In order to ensure the safety of the mine map, Ni Kesong constantly changed the location of the joint. Also for safety reasons, Liu must have dressed up as a mountain man.
The sun hung in the air, and the fireball was as hot as a fireball. Sweat was like an earthworm, winding down Liu Biding's face. The way up the mountain is narrow and steep, and the legs seem to be filled with lead, and every step is extremely difficult. But Liu must be very excited, this treasure hunt trip is full of legends - surrounded by mountain people, the director of the street office to relieve the siege, flying stones outside the window, hotel night guests, looking for Ni Kesong, all this is like a suspense movie. Now, getting closer and closer to the treasure, Liu must have seen hope beckoning to him - hope is in the Immortal Cave, and the last piece of information confirms: Ni Kesong is waiting for him in the cave.
The middle-aged mountain man who has been accompanying him on the treasure hunt is also surnamed Ni, called Ni Liang, and Ni Kesong are brothers in the family who do not come out of five suits. Ni Liang admires Ni Kesong very much, Ni Kesong is hiding in Tibet so much, Ni Liang still worships. said that Ni Kesong is Che Guevara now, and asked Liu if he knew Che Guevara. This surprised Liu Biding, and he had to be impressed by Ni Liang: this earthy mountain man actually knew Guevara! After asking carefully, I realized that I met when I was selling T-shirts. The T-shirt has a big portrait of Guevara, and the person who sells the T-shirt tells Ni Liang that this person's name is Guevara, and he specializes in making a fortune with the poor, and Ni Kesong also wants to make a fortune with people in the mountains, so Ni Kesong is Guevara - now the unlucky Guevara has been living a savage life for more than half a year.
The Ni Kesong he saw when Liu must have gone to the Immortal Cave is unkempt and dirty, and he is no longer like a normal person. As soon as they met, Ni Kesong held his hand tightly and shook it wildly, Mr. Liu, you are here, now it's okay, nothing is wrong with me! As he spoke, he took off the official seal, financial seal, and contract seal hanging on his belt, and gave it, Mr. Liu, the Moon Gou Mining Company is yours, and I have to go down the mountain to drink mush......
Don't, don't, Mr. Ni, where are you going to drink mush? What about the mine map? Ni Kesong thought about it, my sister-in-law came back from a prison visit and said, you will buy it after seeing the mine map, right? Then come and see the mine map! Liu must have followed Ni Kesong to the depths of the cave, and saw that there were four large boxes of ore in the depths of the cave.
The cave was gloomy and cold, and a cool breeze blew from the black mouth of the cave, and the torches swayed and made a slight crackling sound. From time to time, bats fly out of the depths of the black hole and disappear into the endless night sky. Liu must have flipped through the mine map impatiently, oblivious to his surroundings. A drop of cold water dripped from the stone wall at the top of the cave, which happened to fall on top of his head, and he wiped it indiscriminately, not caring at all. The mine map signified great wealth, and he was like that Arab boy who shouted "Open the sesame seeds" and faced the whole cave with gold and silver treasures! His misfortune made him lucky, and his opportunity came again.
Because of his arrival, Ni Kesong's fugitive career came to an end, killing all the two chickens brought by Ni Liang, and the three of them had a luxurious dinner. During the meal, Ni Kesong asked: How is it, Mr. Liu? Are you satisfied? Liu must have gobbled up, ate roughly, and said perfunctorily: I don't know too much, it should be okay! Ni Kesong said: Now new energy is popular, and lithium resources are worth a lot of money! If it hadn't been for the dam failure, my brother would have been reluctant to transfer it. Ni Liang also said: In the past, when I was producing, there was a prosperous scene here, right, Mr. Song?! Ni Kesong looked fascinated, isn't it! At that time, the mountains here were full of donkeys carrying ore during the day, and there were mine lamps and torches everywhere at night, which was a spectacular sight! By the way, my brother also wrote a poem: Mountain, fast donkey still has to be whipped, I can't remember a few sentences, and the last sentence is an epigram - ah, full of mountain donkeys down to the western sky! Liu must have laughed, I didn't know your brother was so romantic, he couldn't even memorize the prison rules well in prison! Ni Kesong said: No, right? My brother has a good memory, and his mouth is Tang and Song poems. Liu must have sneered and asked: Is it a Tang poem or a Song poem when a mountain of donkeys descends to the west? Ni Kesong said categorically: Tang poetry!
The cave burst into laughter.
Recalling that year, Ni Kesong was very emotional, donkeys were a good thing, donkeys were popular in Moon Ditch at that time, and there were at least five donkey farms! Ni Liang said: It's not five, it's six. Liu must ask: What about now? Ni Kesong said: The dam has collapsed, it has collapsed! After selling spiced donkey meat for a while, there is nothing wrong with donkeys! Liu must have quipped: Oh, it's all in the west! Ni Kesong nibbled on the chicken leg and said: Yes, it has become spiced donkey meat. When it was the most prosperous, we still had a helicopter, flying from this pit to that mine, several times a day, but it was very exciting, and Ni Liang also sat on it, right? Ni Liang said: I sat down once, and I was so dizzy that I almost vomited my intestines. Liu must have been interested and asked: Is this helicopter still there? Ni Kesong said: It's no longer there, the debt was paid to others, and it was demolished by others. The fuselage has now become an "airline hotel", selling dumplings......
After eating and drinking, Liu must have walked out of the cave alone. The sky in the mountains is exceptionally clear, and the nebula appears in front of you, as if you can reach out and touch it. The half moon climbed the cliff, and the clear light sprinkled on the wild grass all over the mountains. The fragrance of the plants and trees was intoxicating, and Liu must have stretched out his arms and took a deep breath, as if his heart had been washed. He took out his mobile phone to talk to Qi Xiaohua, and adjusted his position several times to make the signal clearer. On the phone, he reported the harvest of the treasure hunt, and Qi Xiaohua also said about the fundraising, saying that Qin Xinting had cancer, and the trust could not be counted on. Sun Heping has not gone there yet. Liu must say: In the future, we will take the mining rights of Moon Valley, and then go to talk about cooperation with Sun Heping! We want cooperation, not being eaten by him. Qi Xiaohua said: I understand, so in the past few days, I have collected all the funds that can be returned, and all the stocks have been cleared, and 53 million have been recovered. Liu must have breathed a sigh of relief, okay, great, with these 53 million, we can set this mining right. There are also mining and environmental experts, who also hurried over to do resource assessments and environmental impact assessments for resumption of work. Qi Xiaohua said: Yes, yes, I am doing this, it is estimated that I will be able to enter the mountain in the next two days!
One afternoon three days later, Qi Xiaohua led a team of people to the Moon Ditch Mining Company.
The mining company, though dusty and full of musty smells, brought the hearts of the divorced couple closer. In the past few years of divorce, the contradiction has gradually dissolved, Liu must be in prison, and the harm of messing with flowers and grass does not exist. However, Qi Xiaohua often regrets her ruthlessness - husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, and when the disaster came, they flew separately, she flew earlier, and when she retreated in a hurry, she didn't even leave a sampan for Liu Biding. said that it was a strong man who broke his wrist, but he broke Liu Biding's wrist, if she could choose again, she would rather break her wrist. Yang Liu and her are not all the way, Yang Liu is a person in the officialdom, he didn't in the past, and he won't do it now, and he won't dance a dance on the blade with her with a black gauze hat. She and Liu Biding are the same kind of people, and the truth of their lives is: they both yearn for the beautiful dance on the blade. With the repeated visits to the prison, Liu must have regained his trust in her, and the two gradually reconciled and returned to the past.
On that day, standing in front of the window of the mining company, with a bird's-eye view of the undulating mountains, Liu must have said emotionally: Xiaohua, only you can trust me so much, dare to bet your life on me again!
Qi Xiaohua's eyes showed warmth, because I know who you are in your bones.
Oh, tell me, who am I?
You are like a big child who is always optimistic, never knowing, and never thinking about how many disasters there will be on the road ahead of life, you always laugh and move forward. Even if the followers behind you see the blade under your feet and scatter in a hurry, you will still step on the blade and wave to the world, hello world......
Liu must have laughed and trembled, but Xiaohua, I didn't expect that when I stepped on the blade and beckoned to the world again, you would appear next to me again.
Actually, you should think that I have to pay you a shameful consideration. Qi Xiaohua said.
To say ashamed is that I am ashamed, very ashamed. I've struggled for half my life, but I haven't been able to make you live a happy life. My personality determines that some of my failures are doomed. Liu must have said.
Yes, even if I didn't draw my salary back then, you and Hongyuan would not be able to be defeated.
Maybe! But Sun Heping and Yang Liu were destined for success.
That's the biggest difference between you and them. You pursue success, you want to succeed, but you don't care much about success, and in my memory, you tend to focus more on the thrill of risk-taking and gambling.
Liu must have applauded, hey, right, absolutely right!
Qi Xiaohua sighed, in fact, why don't I pay attention to the process? Life is a process, if the process is not exciting, what is the meaning of having a mountain of gold and silver?
That is, Xiaohua, we are all the way in our bones!
So, once again, I chose you.
Liu must say: So, let's start an adventurous process again!
Qi Xiaohua's poetic language blurted out: the music sounds, the curtain opens, the brave dancers are about to play again, the lights and blades complement each other, and the beautiful dance of life is about to be staged......
