Chapter 64: The Human Heart Is Sinister
The mine where the accident occurred was located halfway up the hill to the north, and I listened to them brief me as I walked.
Yang Dazhuang is talkative, and Liu Peng doesn't like to squeak very much. So most of these things were said by Yang Dazhuang, and Liu Peng added a few words every once in a while.
Yang Dazhuang said that at the time of the accident, he and Liu Peng were in the mine, but fortunately, the well was flat, and they didn't go far, so they could still run out if something happened.
If it were replaced with an inclined hole or a shaft, it is estimated that before they could run out, they would be pounced on by those ghosts and torn apart, and they would not even want to come out alive.
This is also the reason why they dare to fight under the heavy reward, and they will not accompany me on this trip if they change the inclined hole or shaft. After all, no one wants to earn that kind of money, which is earned and not spent.
Halfway up the mountain, Yang Dazhuang pointed to the black hole not far away and told me that it was the mine.
I saw that the hole was a bit messy, and there was no other mine mouth that was flat, it should have been blown out by the explosion of the earth cannon before!
A burst of heat suddenly crept up on his face, and I knew that it was Huang Yongyong who came out.
Sure enough, a figure flashed, and Huang bravely stood beside me. He still looked a little weak, looked at the mine with a wary expression, and told me to be careful, don't be careless, he vaguely felt that it was not easy to be there.
Hearing Huang Yongyong say this, I was even more uneasy in my heart, it seems that there is indeed something strange in this.
I asked him where Brother Meng had gone, how was his recovery, and he said that Brother Meng was nothing serious, just rest for a few more days.
Yang Dazhuang and Liu Peng couldn't see the immortal family on me, they could only see me talking to myself in the air. Their expressions were unnatural, without the casualness they had just now, and there was more inexplicable meaning in the eyes of looking at me. But they didn't ask me anything, so they should have some idea of who I am.
I waved at them and motioned to stand behind me. Then I went down the mine and they looked at each other, not knowing what to think, and came in after me.
No matter how dazzling the sun is, there are dark corners that can't shine, such as here. Everywhere we looked, it was pitch black, as if there were countless demons and monsters waiting to devour us.
I took out the flashlight in my backpack and swept the mine in front of me, and Yang Dazhuang and the others also turned on the miner's lamp on their heads.
The mine is really flat and pushes inside, and it doesn't look like there's any slope, it's relatively gentle. Seeing that the flashlight could not be illuminated, I couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and I was a little more afraid of the unknown. But for now, it's okay, I haven't noticed anything unusual in this area.
I asked them where they had gone before to find those evil things.
Yang Dazhuang said that it was near here, and he saw it before he came in and didn't go far. He also said that this mine is also an abandoned old mine, I don't know when it was opened, it is estimated that it has been some years. Last time, they were also good, and they crashed out by mistake and came out with some good goods, and the fifteen guns that were blown up this time are still a little bit inside, but it's not far away.
We walked a little further inside, and found nothing sinister, except a dozen pieces of rope the thickness of a little thumb scattered on the ground.
I know it's not a rope, it's a cannon twist for lighting an earthen cannon, also known as a fuse. I don't know why these didn't burn, so they just threw them on the ground.
Yang Dazhuang and Liu Peng picked up a few of them, checked them carefully, and didn't know what they saw, but under the reflection of the headlamp, they saw that their faces turned blue!
"Damn, this shitty Kou San is bad, it's so fucking bad!"
Liu Peng, this stuffy gourd, actually gritted his teeth and burst into a foul mouth, I don't know why.
"Brother Peng, do you remember when we inspected the earth cannon yesterday? I think the Kou brothers were a bit abnormal at that time! ”
Yang Dazhuang didn't know what he remembered, his brows twisted into pimples, and he said to Liu Peng.
"Well, I also remembered what you said, it must be the three of them who are doing it, and they can't run! These three dog days, who died unjustly, are simply retribution! Bah! ”
Liu Peng's tone of voice was obviously angry, and in the end, he spat a few mouthfuls of foam.
"What do you two say? Is there anything strange about what happened this time? I was confused and asked them.
They looked at each other and told me what had happened as they walked.
It turned out that yesterday Li Wannian asked them to check whether the things to be used today were enough. This work is usually done by Yang Dazhuang and Liu Peng, and after they checked it, they found that the fifteen earthen cannons to be used today were enough. It's all the leftover from the past, and the quality assurance is no problem. It's just that the matching twists are not enough, and a few more need to be made.
At that time, Yang Dazhuang pulled out a bunch of materials and was about to do it, but he didn't expect Kou Dahai to rush to do it.
They also let them all rest, saying that they had just taken off the set in the morning, caught a big white raccoon, and was stewing in the pot, improving the food for everyone, and preparing good wine for everyone to drink.
Yang Dazhuang was a little puzzled, if it was possible to say that others were rushing to work, their Kou brothers and sisters had always been the most capable of stealing and cheating, how could they rush to work!
In addition, their brothers are also well-known for their picking, and they have always taken advantage of others, and they don't do anything at all. I've known each other for a few years, and I've never seen everyone drink and eat meat. In the past, the game was also stewed and eaten secretly, and if anyone happened to encounter it, he would never open his mouth and be humble. This time, I don't know where the sun came out, but it was unprecedentedly generous!
At that time, although Yang Dazhuang was puzzled, he didn't think much about it, and thought that Kou Dahai's conscience had discovered it. In total, it may also be because Li Wannian gave everyone a bonus of 100,000 yuan before, and Kou Dahai was happy to be diligent!
Unexpectedly, when the cannon was fired this morning, something happened!
The fifteen cannons were dumb at the same time, and Yang Dazhuang felt a sigh in his heart at that time, feeling that something was wrong.
The fifteen earthen cannons have been checked one by one, and there is no possibility that there will be problems, and the same batch of cannons are all quasi-successful, and there has never been an accident!
If you want to talk about the problem, it can only be the problem of the cannon twist. But when I think of Kou Dahai's character, although he can't do it, his skills in firing guns are also quite hard, and he can also be ranked among all gunners, so he won't have such a low IQ problem.
Li Wannian had encountered evil things before, and this time he didn't even think that there would be problems with the cannon itself, so he thought that there was something evil to blame.
Everyone has never encountered such an evil thing, so they naturally thought of it with Li Wannian.
It wasn't until Yang Dazhuang and Liu Peng checked the cannon twists on the ground just now that they found that many of them were hollow! No gunpowder at all!
The two of them immediately understood, it turned out to be Kou Dahai's miscellaneous pieces, who volunteered to make a cannon twist yesterday, but took the opportunity to do something on the cannon twist, and there was no gunpowder in the middle!
The cannon twist burned to this point, all the hell was extinguished, and it was strange that the earth cannon could sound!
When I heard this, I also understood, it turned out that the fifteen earthen cannons before were dumb at the same time, not because something evil had happened, but because of someone with crooked thoughts!
The three brothers of the Kou family must have looked at Li Wannian's last explosion of good ore, refined a lot of gold, and made a lot of money.
Their brothers' eyes are red, and they want to use the bad water yin Li Wannian! It's wine and stewed white raccoon dogs, fooling everyone to eat and drink, they moved their hands and feet on the cannon twist, just waiting for the earth cannon to mute the fire, and take the opportunity to slaughter Li Wannian! I guess they had already planned it, and they ran away after finishing this ticket.
But people are not as good as heaven, but I didn't expect that the agency was too smart, and it cost my brother's life!
At this point, I suddenly had a question that I couldn't understand, so I asked them:
"To say that these fifteen earthen cannons were dumb at the same time, it was because the three brothers of the Kou family did something to do it, but they exploded at the same time and killed the three of them, why is this? Listen to what you mean, this brother's artillery skills are not bad, and it is impossible for him to make a mistake and collapse himself to death, right? ”
"This ...... We don't understand this, this thing is quite evil! ”
"That's it, it's not been a year or two since we did this business, and the artillery locations are all scattered, not at one point, and I have never encountered such a coincidence, fifteen cannons exploded at the same time!"
Liu Peng's stuffy gourd is obviously talking a lot at this time, like a slow-burning type, he said that when the three brothers of the Kou family went in to tinker with the squibs, he had been staring at the entrance of the cave from afar. Thinking that the three of them only had half a cigarette to go in, they peeked out from the mouth of the mine, and they should have been in a hurry, and then they didn't run a few steps when they heard the bombardment. Even the hole in the cave collapsed a lot of broken stones, and all their brothers and sisters were shattered.
I listened to what Yang Dazhuang and Liu Peng said, and obviously I didn't know why those cannons exploded at the same time.
"Little master, our brothers are not as greedy as the three brothers of the Kou family, we have already calculated on the way here, and we don't want all the thirty percent of the ore that Boss Li promised to give, this is your share, and we will each account for one percent."
Yang Dazhuang stopped, stopped walking, turned to me and said.
"Yes, we know that the little master is a capable person, or Boss Li can't invite you to come, although this money is a good thing, but we are self-aware, the reason why we can earn this money depends on the little master! You must agree to this, and accept this little bit of our brother no matter what! ”
Liu Peng also looked at me and said, his expression looked quite sincere, not like he was pretending.
I looked at them and thought a lot, gold is a good thing, not only valuable, but also human nature. The brothers of the Kou family worked hard to think badly, but in the end, they even got a hair, and they took three lives in vain. Yang Dazhuang and Liu Peng, seeing that the gold is about to arrive, want to divide me into one.
When the two are compared, human nature is immediately revealed.
I smiled at them and told them that I wouldn't want the gold, and that they could rest assured that nothing would happen to them as long as I was there.
We continued to walk towards the firing site, trying to see if we could find any problems, and as we went, they persuaded me to accept the gold.
The flickering headlamps shone into the dark cavern, emitting a pale glow. Not far ahead, there was a sudden and astonishing scene, which scared us into a cold and shivering for a while!
