Chapter 913: Rubbing Gold Bars
Before leaving, he took the wolf skin and said, I will take it to the bottom of the mountain to find someone who processes the leather to make a wolf skin coat to wear. Liu Zhen instructed him to go up the mountain early after finishing his errands. He turned back to Liu Zhen and said, I know. I'm not at home, so don't go out, especially don't cross a line of heavenly stone paths.
Why? Liu Zhen looked at him, and he said, be careful that there are mechanisms on the road. Seeing that Liu Zhen was still talking, he said don't ask again.
Liu Zhen hugged the child and hummed a lullaby, and walked around the front and back of the hut, and the child fell asleep. When she woke up, she was breastfeeding as usual, and she sat and walked while holding her.
The day passed quickly, it was sunset, and when the birds returned to their nests, Ma Dagui still did not return, Liu Zhen was a little anxious, and muttered in his mouth, why didn't he go back? She carried the child out of the hut, looking up at the rugged mountain road that wound around Vulture Mountain like a rope, whether there was a human figure, and listened to whether there were footsteps coming from there.
No, she approached the first-line Tianshi Path, and suddenly remembered what Ma Dagui said: Be careful that there are mechanisms on the road. She returned to the door of the hut and looked in the direction of the stone path, until it was blurred by the night, and she reluctantly returned to the hut to light the soybean oil lamp, and the light reflected her huge figure dangling.
She was uneasy in her heart, and she moved to Vulture Mountain to live for nearly half a month, but her husband didn't return so late for the first time, and she didn't know if she would return tonight. She was a little frightened, it was pitch black outside, and the mountain wind was whistling, so she bolted the door in fear, and then fed the child, who had fed enough milk and fell asleep slowly, but she had no sleep all night.
Until the early hours of the morning, Ma Dagui had not returned, she was really a little anxious, worried that her husband would have an accident outside. She wanted to take the child out of the hut and take a look at the stone path on the first line, but the child was sleeping heavily and had not woken up yet.
When he woke up and fed the milk, and when he was nearing his death, her eyes were bloodshot and bright red, because she had not slept all night. She hastily ate breakfast, which was the leftover meal from last night, and she warmed it up to fill her stomach.
Now she is holding the baby and walking out of the hut. There was fog outside, faintly like smoke wafting in Vulture Mountain, she felt some wind, afraid that the child would catch a cold, and returned to the hut, took a long towel, and put one end on her shoulder, and the other end on the child's head.
Coming out again, the sun dispelled all the fog, and Liu Zhen felt much warmer. She lifted the towel from the child's head, and the child's eyes were full of smiles, but she buried bitterness in her heart, because her husband had not returned all night, and his safety was unpredictable.
Holding the child, she walked towards a line of heavenly stone paths, as if there could shorten the distance between her expected husband, she didn't care about the chirping birds on the mountain, and she didn't want to watch the colorful glow hanging in the sky, and was approaching the first line of heavenly stone paths step by step.
Suddenly, a pair of hands came from behind to wrap around her body, and immediately let go, she saw that the palm was covered with dust and a little dirty, so she turned back in surprise, it was none other than Ma Dagui standing behind her. This confused Liu Zhen, stared at him with both eyes and asked, why are you here?
It's the wolf's skin that has made a mistake, I'll tell you later. Just like answering the question, Ma Dagui said that Liu Zhen was like falling into a fog. As if the child in her arms understood, the child's clear eyes showed a shallow smile, Ma Dagui looked at him quietly for a while, and his face, which was wrinkled like an earthworm, was also overflowing with joy. He said to Liu Zhen, you should be careful when you walk with the child, don't fall.
Then he stepped forward, passed a line of heavenly stone paths, and turned around and told Liu Zhen, you follow the route I took, otherwise you will slide down the trap.
Where are the traps? Liu Zhen stopped nervously, looked around, and found that not far ahead, there was indeed a deep trap. Ask how you did it, a few days ago, you and I climbed this vulture mountain and didn't find it.
Ma Dagui said that he had dug it, and approached the edge of the trap, looking up at the towering stone walls on both sides, and calmly said that this place had become a tomb for burying the Japanese robbers.
Liu Zhen also followed, she looked down at the trap, screamed, and immediately stopped, worried that the child in her arms was scared. The trap was about ten meters deep, and there were dead people with their heads broken and bleeding on top of each other, showing various states of pain, and the bodies of the dead were pressed with sharp rocks, and it was obvious that they were all stoned to death by the rocks, and some of the stones were still soaked in blood.
Beneath a boulder, an iron chain was exposed, and the other end of it was in the hands of a dead man. Ma Dagui said that this dead man was Zuo Tian, the leader of the Japanese Bandits, and the iron chain was a wolf dog, which had been crushed under the stones, and had already died a long time ago.
How did the Wako get to Vulture Mountain? Liu Zhen asked with wide eyes in confusion. Ma Dagui told the truth of the matter:
Yesterday he went down the mountain, with a wolf's skin, the smell was 10 kilometers away from the patrol of Zuotian's wolf dog sniffed out, it along the sense of smell rushed to Majiajia, Zuotian also followed, someone found it from afar, handed the letter to him, he threw down the wolf's skin, hid in the vulture mountain, climbed up a high pole in the mountain to observe the movement of the mountain, only to see Zuo Tian with a dozen devils towards the vulture mountain, he was a little nervous, immediately slipped off the tree pole, to the top of the mountain quickly ran.
He thought that as long as the Japanese chased them to the top of the mountain, there would be a way to deal with them. Because he dug a series of traps on the top of the mountain, and covered them with a layer of grass, and the grass was covered with a layer of fine soil, so that no trace could be seen, and as long as the Japanese chased them to the top of the mountain, they might fall into the trap; Just fall into the trap and be able to pick them up. But it was getting late at this time, and the devil did not go up the mountain to chase after him, and returned to the village to camp.
In the early morning of the next day, Zuo Tian led the wolf dog again, and he led the way up Vulture Mountain. Ma Dagui did not return overnight, he added layers of rocks on the steep cliffs on both sides of the trap, when the chasing Japanese invaders stepped on the collapse and fell into the trap, he took the opportunity to push down a stack of good mountain stones, they are small dozens of catties, the big one has one or two hundred catties, from such a high cliff stacks to push down, the landslide and the ground crack like the fall force is endless, the wokou who fell into the trap is panicking, how can there not be stoned to death?
Unable to hear the croaking of the trap again, and convinced that a dozen or so would-be robbers had been killed, he quietly descended from the condescending cliff to observe the loot in the trap.
At this time, the sun had risen high, and he unexpectedly met his wife and children at the first line of heavenly stone paths, which made his heart overflow with the joy of a victor.
At this moment, Ma Dagui propped up the edge and went down to the trap, removing the blood-soaked rocks from the corpses of the widows, some of whom bared their teeth and held long-handled broadswords in their hands; Some of them still have their eyes wide open, refusing to retreat from their greedy desires; Others put their hands around their heads, but their hands and heads were stoned and planted. Some raised their hands in surrender, but the stones rained down showed no mercy to the invaders.
Ma Dagui broke open Zuo Tian's body, which was fluttering with a hippopotamus face, and when he saw that the pockets of his jacket were bulging, he reached out and took out a bag of hard objects wrapped in silk, and opened it to see that it was a handful of shining gold bars, which were 10 sticks. This must have been plundered from the rich man in the Liaoning region, Ma Dagui grabbed it, looked at it carefully for a while, and rubbed it lovingly. Then he looked up at Liu Zhen, who was standing on it and looked at him, and said: Gold bars, there are gold bars in the pocket of the widows.
Ma Dagui was very excited. Liu Zhen said while breastfeeding the child, if you touch the pockets of the dead bodies of the other widows, maybe there will be gold bars. Ma Dagui then wrapped the gold bar in its original shape with silk, threw it upward, and landed right at Liu Zhen's feet.
Liu Zhen bowed down and picked it up and opened it to see, this was the first time to rub the gold bar at zero distance, and she excitedly said to the child in her arms, Ma Sheng, you have money to use. Where does the baby understand the words of adults, and when they have enough milk, they come to sleep, and the two eyelids fight, slowly and peacefully pasted together.
