"What's it called?"

"Boss Wang."

"Where is your hometown?"

"From Lu Province."

"Where are you from Lu Province?"

"From Longkou."

"Do you know Mr. He?"

"I don't know."

"Next."

Before I opened my eyes, an impatient voice asked, an unconfident voice answered, and then repeated questions and answers. There was also a small buzzing around, but due to the space, when they were gathered together, it became an annoying noise.

.

Wang Yan looked around. Dozens of people were lined up in a dense circle. At the same time, there was a louder noise outside than inside. There were more than a hundred people inside and outside the room.

The people in the room were all wearing thick, bloated clothes and big fur hats. Looking at the backs of those people, they all had long braids. Wang Yan lowered his head and looked at himself.

Dressed in a bloated coat, fur hat, and the shoes on your feet, you can feel the softness, comfort, and warmth in them. I couldn't help but lift the hat, touch the hair that was short in the front and long in the back, and reached out to touch it without giving up.

He took off the braid on his back, sighed, and put on his hat again.

His current head shape, the hair at the back is like the one in the movie, and the hair at the front is slightly longer than the short hair. After all, will the hair grow long? How can poor people just shave it off?

Although he doesn't care about the shape of his head, and it's the end of the Qing Dynasty at this time, he is not the money rat tail like before, but he has a yin and yang head, and it is always uncomfortable to show his big head. But it is obvious that he cannot accept it if he lives under others.

He is not a Taoist priest or a monk, so he cannot be spared. Fortunately, he knows that it will be over in seven years...

After confirming that it was safe and no one was paying attention, Wang Yan began to receive identity information.

Wang Yan, 29 years old, lives in Fengniugou, Yuanbao Town. His parents passed away when he was 20 years old, leaving him a lot of property. However, due to gambling and lust, he only had ten acres of land left, and he still had no money.

There is a dilapidated house next to the ground. He loses money and loses his character at the same time. No girl is willing to marry him, and he has been a bachelor until now. This time he wants to change his ways and come to Laojingou to seek wealth and live a peaceful life.

The current time is mid-January, 2005. Of course, this date is according to the lunar calendar. According to the solar calendar, it should be mid-February, not long after the New Year.

This arrangement was quite unexpected. He thought he might have to be Zhu Kaishan's junior, but he didn't expect that his age was not much different from Zhu Kaishan's. And this place, directly to Laojingou, so what happened at the same time

There is nothing he can do, such as Tan Xian'er, who is homeless and has a miserable fate. Of course, even if she doesn't get Lao Jingou for him and lets him stay outside, he may not be able to find her for a while. It's just that fate, so what?

So what? Besides, these days, there are too many miserable people, and many are much worse off than Tan Xian'er.

With such a good kung fu, after the provocative episode in the play where the man used a knife to open his thigh muscle to hide the gold, and the big gold nugget, Zhu Kaishan, who pretends to be an honest man, has been selected.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Zhu Laosan."

…

After some testing, Zhu Kaishan successfully passed the test and walked to one side, staring gloomily at Wang Yan who was standing at the back.

Wang Yan knew the reason, so he didn't care. He nodded to Zhu Kaishan with a smile. The living father made arrangements and settled directly in Fangniugou. Zhu Kaishan was also there, but he lived farther to the east of the village.

Although Zhu Kaishan is the first family in the west end of the village, you have to go through their door to go to town.

It has been four years since the end of the Gengzi year, that is, the year 2000. Although Wang Yan lives far away, there are always times when we meet each other. We have met several times in these years. Although Zhu Kaishan usually keeps a low profile,

But there are people who know his number there, and he's pretty well known.

Zhu Kaishan knew that Wang Yan knew his name, and he was worried that being exposed would ruin things, so he stared with murderous intent and threatened Wang Yan. Because although it was crowded and noisy, Wang Yan should have heard "Zhu Laosan", otherwise he would not

Knowing the situation, Zhu Kaishan was ready. He was determined not to run away, but before that, Wang Yan had to be killed, otherwise he would die in peace.

While Zhu Kaishan was concentrating and preparing a fatal blow at any time, the team quickly reached Wang Yan.

The low-level official wearing a warm hat and a mink coat looked impatiently at the man in front of him who was looking around curiously. He saw that he was making eggs for the first time: "What's your name?"

"Wang Laowu."

Wang Laowu? Hearing this name, Zhu Kaishan, who was standing not far away, twitched his lips secretly. This kid is pretty damn interesting.

Thinking like this, his tense body relaxed and he let out a long breath. Naturally, he knew that Wang Yan's name was Wang Yan. Now that he heard Wang Laowu, he understood that Wang Yan didn't think about him, so he let it go for the time being.

Heart.

"Where is your home?"

"Yuanbao Town." Wang Yan thoughtfully added: "My hometown is also from Yuanbao Town, and I don't know He Laosi. This is the first time I heard about it."

"Have I asked you? You're talking too much." The man patted the table to increase his intimidation and glared: "They are all from Yuanbao Town. Do you know that Zhu Laosan?"

Wang Yan met the man's stern eyes calmly: "We know each other. We are both from the same village. He lives at the west end of the village and I live at the east end of the village."

The man lowered his head and made a check on the list, without raising his head, and said: "Next one."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan turned around, walked to Zhu Kaishan, stood next to him, and said hello: "Brother Zhu."

"Yeah." Zhu Kaishan nodded and asked, "Why are you here too? I remember that you lived a very happy life."

Laojingou is either big or small. In the early years, tens of thousands of people were panning for gold here. Even though it has declined now, there are still hundreds of people, and the team is so long that you can't even notice it.

"Scold me?" Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Isn't it true that everything in the family has almost been gambled away? There are only ten acres of thin farmland left, a dilapidated house, and the eldest son has no wife. A while ago, my parents had a dream and said

I can't continue to fool around. Let me find a mother-in-law to have a baby as soon as possible. I can't close the family. Otherwise, when I get down, they won't let me go. I'm scared. Besides, it doesn't make any sense whether I win or not.

Aren't you just going to Laojingou to pan for gold, hoping to make a fortune? Go back and spend a few days there, and find a matchmaker in the town to introduce you to me. My wife and children are on the hot kang, and I'm satisfied."

Although he dismissed what he said for a while, after all, not everyone can take it out, but after a brief exchange of words, Zhu Kaishan patted Wang Yan's arm with a smile: "The prodigal will not be able to exchange for gold when he comes back, just live a good life.

"

There were so many people here that neither of them spoke anymore, but after that, Zhu Kaishan would definitely find an opportunity to explain why he was called Zhu Laosan.

After a long time, everyone's names were called, and the official said loudly: "Okay, everyone is registered. From now on, you will work diligently to dig for gold to ensure that you all get rich. You must obey the rules and don't make trouble. You are here.

Everything is at the discretion of Dana, he is your boss."

Dana Jin bowed to the official, then turned around and stood up straight, holding hands in all directions: "Thank you for your respect, brothers. I also hope that you will cooperate more in the future. This is Chief Jin, let him lead everyone to settle down first.

Come down."

Jin on the other side cupped his head and said, "Everyone, go out. I'll take you to your place to live. We'll clean up tomorrow."

I didn’t say anything useless. After all, the people who went to the government were still watching. If you show off your authority in front of others, you are seeking death. Moreover, their deterrence does not come from pretending to be better than Canada, but from the government and surrounding bandits.

Support gives them the confidence to boss around and make a lot of money.

This place is in the north of HLJ, and the current climate conditions are worse than those a hundred years ago, and the weather is cold. As soon as he went out, there was a biting cold wind on the pavement, and his breath was cold. Wang Yan squinted and looked at the environment.

In the distance are the snow-covered white mountains, faintly, with a few evergreen plants glowing green in the white. In front of you, surrounded by several mountains, is a frozen river, with flat land on both sides.

There are several rotten wooden buildings scattered on the ground, which look quite impressive.

As Wang Yan and Zhu Kaishan came from the same place, they naturally moved together. Carrying their luggage, they mixed in the team and followed the crowd to several large wooden houses not far apart.

Where they live.

Following Zhu Kaishan, the two of them found a big Kang in the corner of a large wooden house and chose adjacent bunks to make beds. The same was true for the others, all of them were rough old men.

We talked about something and the conversation was lively.

After packing his things, Zhu Kaishan was about to take Wang Yan out to explain his words clearly when a loud voice sounded.

"From today on, we are a gang. You all have to listen to me! There won't be much trouble in the past few days. They have all been fattened up by me. When the river opens, we will work hard."

When they heard the sound, they both turned their heads and looked. It was Da Jinli sitting on the table and arrogantly saying that he wanted to be the big brother.

This kind of character cannot be said to be good or bad. It is better to die early, but if no one opposes it, it can really stand. Although it is all bitterness, there is oppression everywhere and there are perpetrators everywhere. If you are called the king of bitterness, then that is

Being able to show off one's authority, gain a certain degree of privileges, and great psychological satisfaction.

The older man on the side said, "Wouldn't that suffocate everyone to death?"

"Are you bored?" Da Jinli had a look on his face that I already knew: "If you're bored, you can go have a drink. There will be a theater troupe and storytellers coming in two days. You can go and have a look."

Hearing this, everyone cheered. After all, watching plays and listening to books are free of charge. These pastimes are usually rare in these days.

Da Jinli snorted without meaning, probably laughing at the others' lack of knowledge. He turned his head and glanced at Zhu Kaishan who was standing with Wang Yan. He got upset thinking about the push he had received before and immediately raised his voice to call someone.

: "Zhu Laosan?"

Zhu Kaishan sighed.

"Come here!"

Zhu Kaishan didn't want to cause trouble and expose himself, so he took two steps forward without thinking and said politely: "Boss, what are your orders?"

Da Jinli reached out and took off his shoes, untied the smelly foot wrap and put it in front of Zhu Kaishan: "Take my foot wrap, shake it, shake it, it's all fucking sand."

This scene is quite interesting. Normally, Wang Yan would just watch the fun. But now if he wants to recognize his eldest brother, he needs to have a good relationship with Zhu Kaishan. It's best to cut off the chicken's head and worship him. Of course, he can't just stand aside and watch.

With.

"What the fuck, this little brat with barely even hair growing up, is trying to imitate others and act like a big boy? What brat can stand on our brothers' heads and poop and pee?" As he spoke, Wang Yan strode forward and stood in front of Zhu Kaishan.

With a look of surprise, she avoided Duo's obstruction, reached out and grabbed the collar of Dajinli and threw it directly to the ground, rolling it several times before stopping.
