"Hey, I heard that the mountain behind our village is going to be developed by city developers!
"
"But why are they developing this mountain? There is nothing in this beautiful mountain. Moreover, this place is barren. The highway goes around our village. The developers will spend a lot of money."
Several young people in Wangjiatun were squatting at the entrance of the village, smoking and chatting. Wang Ergou looked up and saw that there was no one around and whispered: "I'm telling you, I heard that there is gold in the mountains behind our village!"
Wang Yuzhu, who was wearing a sheepskin felt hat, had a flash of light in his eyes after hearing this, and looked at the barren hills behind Wangjiatun in deep thought.
"If there's gold, that's other people's business, it's none of our business. And if there's gold in the mountains, it's also a gold mine. We can't do anything about it. It's illegal!
"
After a young man finished smoking, he said something angrily, got up and left.
Several other young people followed suit one after another.
Twelve o'clock in the evening.
Tuk~tuk~~
"Who is it?"
Wang Yuzhu, who had already fallen asleep, shouted towards the door.
"Brother Zhu, it's me, Ergou!
"
After Wang Yuzhu heard Ergou's voice, he put on his military coat and went out to open the door.
After the two of them sat in the room and distributed cigarettes, Wang Yuzhu said, "Ergou, why are you looking for me so late?"
Wang Ergou looked at Wang Yuzhu eagerly and said, "Brother Zhu, do you still remember what I said during the day?"
"During the day? Are you talking about the developer wanting to develop the mountain behind us?"
"If you want to develop it, just develop it, why are you looking for me?
"
Wang Ergou laughed and said: "Brother Zhu, don't pretend to be stupid with me. I saw during the day that you had ideas about the gold on the back mountain!
"
Wang Yuzhu took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "Didn't Tian'er say that there are gold mines in the back mountain, not gold? What's the use of getting the gold mine back? Let's refine the gold mine into gold ourselves?"
"If we had that time, why would we dig gold mines in the back mountains? We would have made a fortune long ago, right?
"
Wang Ergou said mysteriously: "Brother Zhu, what if I say there is really gold in it?!"
Wang Yuzhu threw the butt of his cigarette on the ground, stamped it out and said excitedly: "Er Gou, this is not a joke!
"
"Brother Zhu, in fact, I have already taken people from the developer to the back mountain. They want money and people, so they must not do a loss-making business!"
"
"When I was taking them there, I overheard their leader calling their boss and saying that there was really gold in the mountains!
"
Wang Ergou told the whole story about how he took the developer's people to explore in the mountains.
"You, you are so stupid!
"
Wang Yuzhu pointed at Wang Ergou and said, "Did you take them into the mountain privately and inform the village chief? What should you do if the village chief finds out?"
Hearing Wang Yuzhu mention the village chief, Wang Ergou had a look of fear on his face, but then his fear of the village chief was overshadowed by his desire to dig for gold.
A sinister look appeared on Wang Ergou's face and he said:
"Brother Zhu, as long as we are really sure that there is gold in the mountains, then we can call on the whole village to dig for gold in the mountains. When the whole village goes together, even the village chief can't say anything, and we are not just going there by ourselves.
When we dig for gold, we take the whole village to get rich!
"
"The village chief's old rules should have been thrown away a long time ago. It's true that you rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, but every time you go into the mountains, you have to pray to the mountain gods for blessings. There are also various rules that cannot be violated. Those old rules have long been
It should be thrown away!
"
Wang Ergou looks like a devil under the light.
Wang Yuzhu's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing this, as if he recognized the real Wang Ergou for the first time.
"Brother Zhu, give me a word, will you do this job?"
Wang Ergou looked at Wang Yuzhu with a very solemn expression, and naked desire flashed in his eyes, which was the desire for money.
When Wang Yuzhu saw it, he sighed slightly and then said harshly:
"Done!
"
Under the illumination of the light, the shadows of the two people were stretched very long. From the window, it looked like two ghosts were conspiring.
"Brother Zhu, you go to bed tonight, and we will meet at the foot of the back mountain at twelve o'clock tomorrow night. Let's go and explore first to see if we can dig out gold. If so, the people in our village will have to take action quickly. !
"
"Why should the good things in our village be given to outsiders cheaply? This has not been true since ancient times!
"
There was a fierce look in Wang Ergou's eyes!
Wang Yuzhu nodded and sent Wang Ergou away. When he returned to the room, Wang Yuzhu lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Whenever he was about to fall asleep, he would always think about whether there was really gold hidden in the mountains behind him. If there was gold, how would they spend it after digging it out?
As for the village chief and the previous rules of going into the mountain, he had completely forgotten them, or he had already confirmed in his heart that the gold in the mountain was a gift from the mountain god to Wangjiatun.
There was no conversation all night, and when the next day dawned, Wang Yuzhu was still the same as usual. Several people of the same age were chatting, sunbathing, smoking, and gossiping together.
Love reading books
They didn’t mention anything about yesterday’s developer coming to develop the mountain behind them, and they also selectively forgot about the gold in the mountain!
At night, Wang Yuzhu put on his military coat and went out with a shovel. As soon as he left the door, he stopped at the door to think about it, then went back and took out a strange shovel from under the bed where he was sleeping.
This shovel is obviously the famous Luoyang shovel. Is it normal for Luoyang people to have a Luoyang shovel, a specialty of Luoyang, in their homes?
After bringing the tools, Wang Yuzhu immersed himself in his journey and soon reached the foot of the back mountain. As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he heard a person calling him.
"Brother Zhu?"
Wang Yuzhu walked in the direction of the sound and found a dark figure hiding behind a tree.
"Two dogs?" Wang Yuzhu called tentatively.
"It's me." Wang Ergou ran over from behind the tree at a trot. He was also wearing a military coat and holding a shovel in his hand.
"Where are you hiding?" Wang Yuzhu complained to Wang Ergou. He didn't know whether it was because he didn't worship the mountain god this time or because they came secretly to look for gold. Anyway, he felt very uneasy and suspicious.
He was nervous all the way here, and the sound Wang Ergou called him really scared him.
"Hehe", Wang Ergou smiled and said: "After all, we went up the mountain secretly, it would be bad if someone found out and told the village chief before we found the gold!
"
"That's true!
"
At this time, Wang Yuzhu also remembered that it was winter. In his village, people were not allowed to go up the mountain in winter, saying they were afraid of disturbing the mountain gods.
