Chapter 6: The Bloody Pit
"Erwa, you move this bag of dog's head gold to the dark river, I'm guarding it here", the old man said to Yu Erwa,
"Okay, uncle!"
Yu Erwa picked up the sand bag and walked down the stone steps carefully, with a heavy sense of weight on her back, which made Yu Erwa's heart thump, more than 30 catties of dog's head gold, roughly estimated, worth about 30,000 taels of silver.
With just this bag, you can buy more than 100 acres of fertile land in Dongning Mansion, and future generations can have no worries about food and clothing...
Yu Erwa felt that her palms were sweating, and a thought popped up unconsciously,
"If all this gold is mine, I can leave Yihong Courtyard with Xiaocui, and I will never have to crawl in the mud of the Manjin River for the rest of my life!"
When Yu Erwa was a teenager, because of her excellent water quality and cleverness, under the introduction of her relatives, she followed Lao Yutou across the ocean and came to the Manjin River Valley to seek a living.
Lao Yutou also takes care of this clever junior, but the life of the gold rush team is really hard, in order to be able to dig more sands, he behaves better in front of Lao Yutou, and several times, his Yu Erwa was almost swept away by the torrent.
Even so, the income of the gold rush team is mainly into the pockets of Lao Yutou, Yu Erwa watched Lao Yutou's two sons younger than him get married and have children, and he Yu Erwa has worked hard for more than ten years under Lao Yutou, and now he is almost thirty people, and he has not found a suitable girl.
The little money was either used to play pai gow and drink with the workers, or it was spent on the girls in Yihong Mansion.
For more than 10 years, not only did he not save a little savings, but he also owed a lot of foreign debts.
Gold~Gold~You charming little goblin~
His Yu Erwa really needed these things so much, and the big bag of yellow stones on his back was exactly the same as the scene he had dreamed of countless times in his dreams!
Right!
These gold should have belonged to his Yu Erwa, and only by taking this gold can he start with his Yu Erwa's hard work for more than ten years.
Besides, mining the dark river gold vein is a felony, and the more people who know, the more danger there is.
If only he Yu Erwa knows, then no one can make a fuss about the Dark River Golden Vein!
Yu Erwa turned her heart sideways, rubbed her nose, and put the sand bag on the riverside
Under the reflection of the torches, Yu Erwa opened the sand bag again, and the charming dazzling light seemed to be winking at him, just like the longing gaze of the little cui girl in Yihong Mansion, seducing him to possess it.
Yu Erwa suppressed the impulse in her heart, closed the bag, and the ruthlessness on her face flashed. Then, Yu Erwa took several deep breaths hard before her face was as usual and she walked up the stone steps slowly.
At this time, there was a shaking caused by pulling on the side of the rope, and the old man Yu Tou hurriedly pulled the rope, and by the way, he gave Yu Erwa a look, and Yu Erwa immediately ran over to help pull it.
Another bag of sand of dozens of pounds was pulled out of the boulder narrow path
Lao Yutou untied the sand bag, shook the rope, and Lin Lu pulled the rope back to the mine in a playful manner.
The old man carefully looked at the gold ore in the sand bag, and the dazzling light squinted his two old eyes slightly.
In a trance, he seemed to see the smile of his baby daughter getting married, and the appearance of his old age when he was raising his children and grandchildren~
Suddenly, Lao Yutou felt a feeling of suffocation coming from his neck, and Lao Yutou subconsciously reached out to pull the rope around his neck, and his head turned to the side.
Under the reflection of the torches on the wall, he was greeted by a familiar and hideous face, and the old man roared and wanted to make some sound, but he only felt that the force on his neck was getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't make a sound at all.
Lao Yutou tried all his strength, grabbed a piece of dog's head gold from the sand bag, and wanted to smash it at Yu Erwa's head, but as the force on his neck increased again, Lao Yutou's arm holding the gold nugget hung in the air, and finally hung down weakly.
Even so, Yu Erwa still took a few more breaths before letting go of her hand.
Yu Erwa picked up the gold nuggets in the hands of the old Yu Tou, gently put them into the sand bag, and carefully looked at the charming gold nuggets in the sand bag before closing the bag with satisfaction.
Yu Erwa looked at the old Yutou's wide eyes, and felt a burst of bad luck, like kicking a dead dog, kicked the old Yutou's body down the stone steps, and then, carrying the sand bag, slowly walked down the stone steps.
Sitting on the gold edge of the two bags of dog heads, looking at the corpse of the old Yu Tou by the water, Yu Erwa's heart did not have a little fear,
"Now, you only need to deal with the old Li Tou who is letting go outside, all the gold belongs to his Yu Erwa, as for the little official slave with three seals in the mine, the narrow road is a stone, so that he can destroy himself inside." Yu Erwa took out a pot of soju from her arms, and after pouring a few sips, she thought.
"But first of all, we still have to stabilize the three-seal little official slave on the other side of the boulder passage, lest this kid not work hard." Yu Erwa got up and walked up the stone steps, thinking as she walked.
Yu Erwa looked in along the narrow path of the boulder, and the exposed gold ore on the other side of the mine had been almost picked up by Lin Lu, and it had lost its original shining light.
"Brother Yu, where did Uncle Yu go?" From the other end of the boulder narrow road, there was a question from Lin Lu.
"Brother Lin Lu, Uncle Yu will transport the sand and soil bags outside first, Uncle Yu is old and his physical strength is not very good, so he should spend the night in the camp." Yu Erwa said perfunctorily.
"Brother Yu, I'm also a little tired, can I rest?" Lin Lu asked tentatively.
"How about you help my brother see the gold ore on both sides of the cave first, is there more?" Yu Erwa didn't have a direct question about Lin Lu, and asked rhetorically.
"There are a lot of them, but they are all relatively large, and it is difficult to pull through the narrow road directly, Brother Yu, what do you think should be done?" Lin Lu threw the problem back to Yu Erwa.
"Brother Lin Lu, then you can eat something and rest first. Don't rush, take your time. Yu Erwa reassured.
"Okay, Brother Yu!" Lin Lu replied obediently, and then the sound of Lin Lu eating dry food and nibbling on smoked chicken came from the side of the boulder narrow road.
Yu Erwa picked up the torch and walked to the bottom of the stone steps, and after walking to the water's edge, Yu Erwa extinguished the torch, and quietly walked back to the side of the boulder narrow road, held her breath, and stood quietly for a cup of tea, until she waited until the forest road on the side of the narrow road, extinguished the torch, and the snoring gradually started, Yu Erwa moved a few narrow stones, blocked the boulder narrow road, and pressed hard, and then pulled out hard, and finally quietly walked down the stone steps.
After Yu Erwa dragged the corpse of the old man Yu Tou by the water to a place where he couldn't see the grass, he loaded a small bag of dog's head gold, pinned a small pickaxe, jumped into the water, and swam back.
According to Yu Erwa's estimate, it is almost the beginning of the Yin period, when people are most sleepy, as long as Lao Li Tou is solved, the gold that he can't spend in ten lifetimes is all his Yu Erwa's alone!
Lao Li Tou, according to Lao Yutou's statement, is diligent and cautious, but he is not good at water, so in this gold touching operation, Lao Li Tou is just letting off the wind outside. As long as you drag this old boy into the water, it's not just a matter of getting your hands dirty.
After a cup of tea, Yu Erwa swam to the entrance of the dark river channel, and gently tapped the wooden board at the entrance, as he expected, Lao Li Tou moved the wooden plank.
Yu Erwa handed over the sand bag and said, "Uncle Li, this is the ore that Uncle Yu asked me to give you, you have seen it." ”
Lao Li took the sand bag with one hand, and felt the fire fold on his body with one hand, and at the moment when he was distracted, Yu Erwa took out the crane beak hoe and stabbed it on Lao Li's back. Yu Erwa took advantage of the situation, and Lao Li fell into the dark river with his head down.
Taking advantage of the splashing water, Lao Li Tou took out the dagger on his waist, stabbed Yu Erwa a few times, and then swam desperately to the bottom of the water.
Lao Li Tou, although he has been with Lao Yu Tou for decades, he is still a little wary of Yu's uncle and nephew.
No one would not be crazy about such a legendary treasure as the Dark River Golden Vein.
Taking advantage of Yu Erwa's trip to Yihong Mansion, Lao Li Tou secretly dived alone to the boulder narrow road to check the situation, and when he went to the market to buy supplies, he secretly bought a knife to hide on his waist for self-defense.
When Lao Li Tou first came to Manjin River, the water quality was indeed not good, but fortunately he was rescued by Lao Yutou and survived. After decades of crawling in the river, Lao Litou's water nature has also been slowly practiced, and it will not be much worse than Yu's uncle and nephew.
Yu's uncle and nephew, what he didn't know was that when he learned a few kung fu skills, when he was arguing with others, he accidentally beat an official brother to death and committed a life lawsuit, so he fled to Manjin River to seek a living.
In the past few decades, Lao Li Tou has not shown martial arts to anyone, and his martial arts have been wasted a lot, but compared to ordinary people, it is still a martial arts.
Lao Li Tou's ruthlessness back then was completely stimulated by Yu Erwa, and he said in his heart, "Yu Erwa, you have a kind, the old man and you will never die!" ”。
Yu Erwa was stabbed a few times by Lao Li's head, her body was stabbed, and she secretly complained in her heart, she didn't expect this old boy to be so agile.
But there was no turning back from the bow, Yu Erwa took a deep breath and dived to the bottom of the river to find the location of Lao Litou. Yu Erwa believes that as long as this old boy is still in the water, he Yu Erwa can kill him!
With the faint light of fluorescent aquatic plants, Yu Erwa kicked her feet and swam quickly to Lao Litou.
After all, Lao Li Tou is old, and there is a big blood hole in his back, and in addition, the water nature is indeed not as good as Yu Erwa, in order to kill Yu Erwa, a wolf cub, he must first swim to the ventilation point, and then come to fight to the death with this Yu Erwa.
Lao Li Tou and Yu Erwa were in the dark river channel, paddling desperately.
Just when Yu Erwa was about to catch up with Lao Li Tou, Lao Li Tou pressed down with both hands, quickly surfaced, took a deep breath, plunged into the water again, and a bright dagger went straight to Yu Erwa's front door.
Yu Erwa turned sideways suddenly, dodging the oncoming dagger, picked up the crane's beak hoe and swept it, and stabbed at Lao Li Tou's back, if it was on the ground, Lao Li Tou was confident that he could dodge this, but in the water, Lao Li Tou only felt that there was a stinging pain in his back.
Lao Li Tou endured the severe pain on his body, kicked his feet, turned around and came straight to Yu Erwa.
Yu Erwa had been holding her breath underwater for a long time at this time, and with the violent force just now, the air in her body had been exhausted, and her movements were inevitably a little sluggish.
In a trance, Lao Litou's dagger had already rushed straight to his chest.
The dagger pierced Yu Erwa's chest deeply, and Lao Li's feet kicked the water again, and the force in his hands pressed Yu Erwa directly into the mud and sand at the bottom of the water.
Yu Erwa desperately grabbed Lao Li's hand holding the dagger, and picked up the crane's beak hoe with the other hand, and stabbed Lao Li Tou's body with all her might.
Lao Li Tou had already prepared and shot horizontally, but Yu Erwa saw that the blow could not be achieved, so she simply threw away the pickaxe and grabbed Lao Li Tou desperately.
Lao Li Tou got up strong, kicked on Yu Erwa with both feet, Yu Erwa had already put life and death out of the way, clamped Lao Li Tou's feet, and bit Lao Li Tou's shoulder viciously,
Yu Erwa's physique is about thirty years old, so desperately entangled an old man of nearly sixty, although Lao Li Tou has a little effort to be around, but in such a special environment underwater, if you can't keep it, the net will be broken.
In the fierce fighting, the air in Lao Litou's body was also very consumed.
Lao Li Tou thought that he had to fight quickly, the dagger in his hand was slashed hard, taking advantage of Yu Erwa's pain, he quickly withdrew the dagger, and then, with both feet, pressed down with both hands, quickly surfaced, took a deep breath, plunged into the water again, and then stared at Yu Erwa in the water not far from Yu Erwa.
If Yu Erwa wants to surface, he will block it with a dagger, and if Yu Erwa wants to get close, Lao Li will retreat.
Yu Erwa glared at Lao Li Tou resentfully, and in desperation, after pouring a few mouthfuls of river water, Yu Erwa slowly lost consciousness with his dream of getting rich.
Lao Li Tou surfaced again, staring blankly at the rock wall, he didn't know whether his old friend Lao Yu Tou instructed Yu Erwa to do it, or if Yu Erwa, the wolf cub, was blinded by gold and acted without permission, if it was the second case, this old Yu Tou was only afraid that it would be more than lucky.
No matter what, Lao Li Tou wants to meet his old friend.
With such a thought, enduring the sharp pain coming from the back, Lao Li successfully climbed out of the water after ventilating several times, lit the torch, looked at the two heavy bags of gold on the shore, and shouted loudly, "Old Yu Tou, Yu Erwa has died at the hands of the old man, if you want to kill my old Li Tou, you come out, my life is saved by you, you can take it away at any time!" ”
In response to Lao Li's head, there was only a brief echo and a longer silence.
Lao Li Tou picked up the soju placed on the shore, poured a few sips, and then took a torch and searched carefully around the shore. After a while, Lao Li Tou found Lao Yutou's dead appearance, Lao Li Tou smiled miserably, and gently closed Lao Yutou's wide eyes with his hand.
Lao Li Tou sat on the ground with difficulty, coughed lightly, coughed up the blood in his mouth, and poured a few sips of soju, he knew that his time was short, and the past came to his mind one by one.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
He is successful in learning and high-spirited,
。。。。。。。。
He killed people by mistake, and he was hiding from wanted everywhere.
。。。。。。。
His parents died, and he could only hide in the crowd, unable to fulfill his filial piety.
。。。。。。。
He went overseas, hiding in the cabin on the bottom floor, looking like he was at the end of his rope,
。。。。。。
He was working day and night in the Manjin River, and he looked like he was toiling,
。。。。。。
and how he taught Yu Erwa, a wolf cub, to pan for gold,
。。。。。。
He has no heirs under his knees, and he has always regarded Yu Erwa as a son.
I never thought about it,
In the end, he killed Yu Erwa with his own hands.
。。。。。。
Hey~~ This damn gold!
。。。。。
As the torches gradually went out, Lao Li Tou slowly closed his eyes.
。。。。。
"Father~Mother~My son has come down to do my filial piety to you~"
