This Li Wannian, he came here last year and asked my master for help.
That time, he took a pregnant woman from the Wang family who was having dystocia and went to the hospital to give birth in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, the car turned sharply and overturned in the mountains, killing both the pregnant woman and the unborn twins.
The pregnant woman and the child turned into a mother-child evil spirit and haunted him, and were finally saved by the master.
I don’t know what happened to him this time. He always goes to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. I don’t believe he came here during the Chinese New Year.
Just as I was thinking about it, Li Wannian had already opened the door and entered the house, and in a blink of an eye he was standing in front of me.
"Xiao Baizi, I heard that your master is no longer in the village. You must know where he is, right?"
Li Wannian looked very anxious. He carried a lot of gifts in big and small bags. He put them on the bed of the kang and asked me hurriedly.
His voice was extremely hoarse, and you could tell he was anxious and angry, so it was definitely something urgent!
"What's wrong, Uncle Li? What happened to you again?"
"Ah, um, something happened in the mine. Where is your master? Can you find him?"
"Master has gone into the mountains, and his old man needs to be repaired. Even if you find him, you may not be able to invite him."
What I said is not nonsense. Before I went down the mountain, the master once told me that if there is nothing important, don’t let anyone come to him again. I can just deal with whatever happens to me. He also said that this is a training for me.
, he can’t help me forever.
When Li Wannian heard what I said, his face fell instantly, and he looked a little ugly, as if he had thought of something terrible and couldn't hold himself together.
"What's wrong with you, Uncle Li? Tell me what's wrong. Maybe I can help."
I saw Li Wannian's collapse and asked him quickly.
Li Wannian drooped his head, as if a ball had deflated, and nodded feebly, saying: "Oh, I'm so unlucky, I don't know what's going on. I've been carrying all my ideas to my grandma's house in the past two years! They're dead in the mine.
!”
Dead person?
Could it be the explosion I heard on the mountain before? Did it kill someone?
"Did Uncle Li die by setting off a cannon?"
I looked at the dejected Li Wannian and asked.
"How do you know? You can also count things?"
Li Wannian suddenly raised his head when he heard me ask him, and looked at me with a more surprised look.
I calculated in my mind that this thing requires calculation, and I guessed it! I am used to hearing the sound of cannons all year round, and it is difficult not to think that something happened when such a loud noise suddenly occurs.
Seeing that I was silent, Li Wannian probably thought I was more mysterious, and even looked at me with a bit more respect.
"I heard from people in the village that you have helped solve a lot of things recently. I thought it was nonsense, but you really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve! No wonder your master has gone into the mountains. Have you become a master?"
Li Wannian's face cleared of gloom, as if he was ignited with hope, he said to me.
When I heard what he said, I almost burst out laughing. Why are you so imaginative?
Then, under my questioning, he told me exactly what happened.
When I heard it, it turned out that the previous blast of cannons had caused the trouble!
It turns out that the gold mine in Li Wannian's hands has not shipped goods for a long time, and the ones that have been mined are only sporadic veins, and the gold content is not high.
After taking into account workers' wages, contracting fees, some miscellaneous taxes, and a lot of other expenses, and even having to treat some people to eat, drink and have fun every now and then, the so-called protection fees of the local gangsters were stripped down layer by layer, and there was nothing in his hands.
Whatever is left, sometimes you have to pay for it.
Originally, Li Wannian had become disheartened and planned to give up the mine. After all, no one would last long in the business of losing money and making money, and it was time for even the wrongdoer to wake up.
Unexpectedly, he tried two shots a few days ago, and another good vein of ore unexpectedly burst out. The gold content increased dramatically, and it was of higher quality than any ore produced before. The quality was simply incomparable, which made him furious.
A huge sum of money. This made Li Wannian so happy that he woke up in the middle of the night with joy. He directly paid 100,000 yuan to the mine workers and let them play with it!
Tasting the sweetness at once, Li Wannian became energetic and planned to do another big job and take advantage of the opportunity to do more work. The workers were also excited and wanted to share some of the soup.
As soon as they combined their efforts, they simply continued to collapse along the same vein of minerals as before.
Isn't that right? Today I fired fifteen more shots in one go!
The fifteen blastholes were quickly drilled, and the gunners were quick to plug in the homemade cannons, pull out the long cannon twisters, and wait for Li Wannian's order to fire off the cannons.
Li Wannian was also full of confidence. He stayed at the mine and stared, imagining what it would be like to count money until his hands cramped.
Following Li Wannian's order, several artillery workers quickly lit the cannons and ran out.
A group of people stayed far away, covering their ears, waiting for these cannons to burst into yellow gold, with banknotes and beauties dangling in front of their eyes.
Five minutes have passed... ten minutes have passed... half an hour... one hour... two hours... one morning...
This group of people was confused and didn't know what was going on. Why didn't the cannon go off all morning?
It is said that the cannon's twister is broken. This situation also happens from time to time. It is even common for the cannon to misfire.
But the question is, who the hell has ever seen fifteen cannons break their barrels or misfire at the same time?
Not to mention that I have never encountered such a situation, I have never even heard of it!
But this kind of evil thing happened to happen to Li Wannian!
Li Wannian had never expected such a situation in the mine, and was stunned for a moment.
What should we do if this happens? Li Wannian doesn't know what to do, but he can't keep waiting for the gun to go off forever? He has to solve it!
Several gunners stared blankly at the scene, and no one dared to step forward to take a look.
Li Wannian gritted his teeth and took out 20,000 yuan on the spot. Whoever set off the cannon would get the money!
Everyone knows that money is a good thing, but your life is your own. If you lose your money, you can make more money, but if your life is gone, you will lose everything!
Seeing that no one dared to go, Li Wannian became cruel and took out another 30,000 yuan. The total amount was 50,000 yuan and placed it at his feet.
The gunners were jealous looking at the pile of money, but no one dared to step forward and take the job!
Li Wannian was discouraged. He didn't dare to add any more money. Originally, these fifteen cannons were considered to be a blockage, and there was no question whether they could explode gold. A lot of money had already been spent. Add more money.
, it would be nice to be able to explode gold of the same quality as last time, but it would be a big loss if it couldn't be exploded.
Li Wannian was already retreating in his heart.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a man stood out from the gunnery crew. His name was Kou Dahai. He was tall and thin, with a hooked nose. Although this man's moral character was not very good, he was pretty good at cannon work.
Two more artillerymen stood up right after. They looked similar to Kou Dahai. The three of them were brothers. Their names were Kou Dabao and Kou Dayu.
Everyone secretly calls the three brothers Kou Sanhao. This shows how bad the character of these three people is.
At this moment, Li Wannian doesn't care about the moral character of the cat. It doesn't matter whether it's a white cat or a black cat. If it can catch mice, it's a good cat! Whoever can tinker with these fifteen cannons now is a good one!
Li Wannian bent down and picked up the 50,000 yuan from his feet, handed it to the three brothers of the Kou family, and said New Year's greetings in every pleasant way.
But who knew that Kou Dahai did not accept the 50,000 yuan. Instead, he waved his hand at Li Wannian and interrupted him. Then, he told Li Wannian straightforwardly that if he wanted to solve this matter, it would be no problem.
You can go check out what these cannons are about, and guarantee that these fifteen cannons will fire. But the three of them don't like the 50,000 yuan. They want the goods that will be blown up this time! It's 50% for one mouthful.
!
Li Wannian was angry when he heard that, this Kou Sanhao was simply taking advantage of someone's danger and wanted to kill him severely!
Li Wannian hesitated, don't agree to them, but how to deal with these squibs? Except for the three of them, those few are like chickens with shrinking necks, no one dares to stand up! Agree to them, he is not willing to do so, after all, this is his own
It's a hard-working operation. If it gets off the ground this time, things will be in chaos from now on. These people will think of killing themselves no matter what happens!
After weighing the pros and cons and thinking over and over again, Li Wannian finally gritted his teeth and made a decision, only agreeing to give them 30% of the shipment. Then after the matter was over, he found a reason to send the three of them away. After all, with these stabbing people, in the future
It's not easy to manage people either.
Kou Sanhai probably also knew that Li Wannian could not give them half of this shipment, and 30% was not a lot. After all, it was real money, not scraps for people to earn work points!
The three of them didn't say anything, but they must have been so happy in their hearts that they went to check out the squib.
Li Wannian's heart felt like bleeding, and he couldn't bear the pain. He looked at the gold that was about to reach his mouth, and he was so easily snatched away by 30% of it!
The cooked duck just flew away!
Although the three brothers of the Kou family are not good in character, they still have some skills. Seeing that the three of them hurried back without even trying a few times, they should be able to do it!
But before they could take a few steps, an accident happened!
The cannon exploded!
And not just one cannon exploded one after another, but all fifteen cannons exploded at the same time!
The three brothers of the Kou family were directly blown away by earthen cannons. By the time a group of people found them, only a few tattered pieces of clothing were left, and the bodies had long since collapsed into pieces. Not a single bit of decent meat was left, and the mountain was covered in pieces.
Meaty bastard!
Li Wannian was frightened!
In all the years he has taken over this gold mine, nothing like this has ever happened.
First, fifteen cannons misfired and stunk at the same time, and then they exploded at the same time! Three people were killed!
Although the three brothers of the Kou family added insult to injury and took advantage of the opportunity, the lion opened its mouth and wanted to kill him. This behavior is indeed heinous, but it is not a crime that will lead to death!
Li Wannian suppressed his fear and sent people into the mine that had just been blasted to see if any goods had been shipped. However, the few people who entered were so scared that they rolled over and crawled to death. They were even unable to speak when they came back.
, each of them seemed to have seen a ghost!
It wasn't until they calmed down for a long time that they slowly recovered. Each one of them looked very frightened, with fear on their faces, and tremblingly said a frightening thing.
After hearing this, Li Wannian collapsed on the spot and waited for a long time before struggling to sit up!
