"Brother Jie, this is a bit serious for you. Don't dare to be careless. Look, it's still bleeding. Even if the nail isn't poisonous, it's stuck too deep. If there is internal bleeding, the situation will be serious."
Boss Xing came over, took a look, and asked if he needed to go to the hospital.
Brother Jie quickly put on his clothes and waved his hand: "No need, it's a minor injury. I know my body well."
Seeing the expressionless look on his face, I curiously asked: "How was that gun modified? The barrel is so long, is it welded on? I just saw it, it's longer than an ordinary shotgun."
He glanced at me and said: "You are still a gangster. You have never seen that thing? The old-fashioned Nanshan 301 nail gun is lengthened with a stainless steel pipe and a buckle. Just push it up at the back. The more advanced ones are added
This is a scope. It is very powerful and accurate, but the range is not far. Anyone with some ability in the gang more than ten years ago had one. Now no one uses it. It is outdated. Fortunately, the steel nails they use are plugged.
Steel ball, then I won’t be like this now.”
"By the way, boss, I haven't been to Queshan for several years. I remember... the gate is in that direction, right?" After speaking, Brother Jie pointed to the southwest.
"The gate?" I looked around again, wondering in my heart.
"You can see the boss at a glance. Where is the gate?"
Boss Xing looked up at the sky and said, "You remember correctly, it's over there. The Queshan Black Coal Mine has been closed for so many years. The weather here is indeed much better than before. Let's go, let's go there."
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, when the days were short and the nights were long, I looked up and saw stars holding the moon, and the sky was full of stars.
The bustle in the sky, compared with the desolation on the ground, makes people feel like they are in an ancient quarry hundreds of years ago, because the ground is full of large and small gravels.
I had no idea how lively it was back then. Boss Xing seemed to be revisiting his old place. He walked in front and led the way, sometimes turning his head to look left and right, sometimes stopping for a few seconds. Brother Jie and I were following behind him.
After walking for a while, Brother Jie suddenly covered his chest with his hand and slowed down his pace.
I immediately leaned over and asked him if he needed help.
His face was a little pale, and he put his arm around my shoulder and said with a smile: "I recognize you as a little brother. If you need help wherever you are in the future, please give me a call."
I supported him and walked forward, saying: "Then I will remember this. The divination I calculated before, you will have great luck in a year or two, and you will be prosperous by then. Don't forget about me.
Little brother."
I immediately added: "Don't say you don't believe in fate, and don't say you are a materialist. Sometimes this thing is really accurate. Also, let me tell you, there really are ghosts in this world. Do you believe it?"
"
He smiled and said:
"If there are ghosts, they should be afraid of me. I can't even remember how many people I have killed. I also loved a girl before, but she was killed. If there really are ghosts in this world,
Then I hope she comes back as a ghost and lets me take a look."
I fell silent after hearing this, and discovered the first thing we two have in common.
Taking a deep breath, I said: "Your idea is not impossible. The girl you are talking about will definitely not come back, but you can go and see her. There is a secret technique called Guan Luoyin, as long as you can find it
As an orthodox successor, it shouldn’t be a problem to see each other in a short time.”
"What the hell? What the hell?"
"Guan Luo Yin!" is a secret technique originating from the Lushan sect in southern Fujian. Lushan was still a branch of Maoshan a thousand years ago. This technique was first taught by Taoists. It is orthodox. In their concept, everyone in the world
Everyone has their own Yuanchen Palace. At a specific time, with the help of specific magic tools and techniques, you can go down and see your own or other people's Yuanchen Palace.
, Sanmao, do you know? At that time, he used the orthodox view to go down to see his lover for the last time. He also saw his Yuanchen Palace. There was a recording left at that time. He said that he could write while he was asleep.
The phrase "twenty-three books" in her sleep later proved that she lived to be forty-seven, and in the year of her death, she wrote exactly twenty-three books."
"Brother Jie, to tell you the truth, I once had a Guanluoyin experience with an expert before. That time... it was like a dream deeply embedded in my mind, both illusory and real, so much so that I woke up.
Reality cannot be discerned for several minutes.”
"I still remember riding a donkey to a three-way intersection. The people and houses I saw were all gray, like people on black and white TV. That time I met my parents, and that was the first time in my life.
It was the first time I knew what they looked like. I wanted to ask my grandma. She should have photos, but she never showed them to me. Then I thought about it and forgot about them. What does it matter what they look like?
"
"Every one of us dreams, and sometimes we may dream of a person whom we don't know at all, but whose facial features are inexplicably clear. If we follow Guan Luoyin's theory, it means that in a deep sleep state, the subconscious mind has inadvertently peeked into other people's faces.
Yuanchen Palace."
After hearing this, Brother Jie patted me and said: "Whether it's true or not, it's quite interesting. You let me know a lot of new things. I asked you before if you had any regrets if you died now. You said you had regrets but didn't want to say it. If
You guessed it right, we should be about the same."
"Um."
"Brother Jie, can you please stop mentioning this matter? I suddenly want to cry when you mention it."
"Cry a lot, remember, men don't shed tears lightly."
"Then why are your eyes red?"
"It fucking hurts! Do you understand how painful the wound is?! If you don't believe me, try driving a nail into your chest! It will definitely hurt and make you cry for father and mother!"
After scolding me, he looked up at the sky, put one hand in his pocket, and smoked a little, looking awesome.
When a man sheds tears, he doesn't shed them lightly, but he hasn't reached the sad point yet, so he doesn't say anything anymore. I'll stay with him.
"Ajie! You two hurry up and follow us! It will be dawn soon!"
Suddenly Boss Xing’s voice came from the front, and we quickly followed him.
"etc....."
"These are tire tracks, they still look new."
I suddenly found a tire mark on the ground. Judging from the width, it looked like an off-road vehicle. This proved that someone had been here before us.
I asked Brother Jie what he thought, and he shook his head and couldn't tell.
I looked carefully at the tire tracks on the ground, got up and chased after them.
Boss Xing led us through a large expanse of grassland, to the back of Queshan Mountain, and stopped in front of a small slope. Then he squatted on the ground and touched without seeing where he was. Suddenly, a shocking scene appeared!
I saw that the entire small slope slowly rose up!!
A large amount of soil, including rotten grass, dead branches and other kinds of garbage, slid down the slope.
What kind of slope is this? This is a door made of a giant iron plate! It's just that the iron plate is covered with loess and grass to camouflage it!
On the left and right sides, there was a thick hydraulic rod on each side, slowly pushing the huge iron plate up! Finally, a gate large enough for large cars to enter and exit freely appeared in front of me.
There was darkness inside the door! It was like it was leading to an abyss underground!
Seeing my shocked look, Boss Xing clapped his hands and explained: "These are called heaven and earth gates. There are many in Shanxi, hundreds of them. When they rise, they are the sky, and when they are lowered, they are the earth. We used to work in black kilns to avoid inspections.
It all depends on this thing.”
"Queshan seems inconspicuous, with coal seams underneath. There used to be more than a dozen such doors here. Ten years ago, there were probably more than 200 workers here. My kiln only needs to be open for one night. Then this kiln will be open for one night."
The workers’ wages and equipment maintenance fees for three hundred and sixty-five days a year are all paid out.”
"Such a huge profit!?" I asked in surprise.
Boss Xing said calmly: "In my eyes, what is buried under Queshan is not coal, but gold, black gold. This is a place of black gold. I don't need to go through any formalities or pay taxes. When the machine rings, thousands of taels of gold are available all the time."
To make money, I secretly mined black coal in the smallest coal kiln here for one night. I dare not say it was too much, but I got two thousand tons."
Brother Jie nodded at the side: "That's right, we are not afraid of environmental protection inspections. Even if the environmental protection comes and leaves, we are only afraid of villagers reporting it. Another big advantage here in Queshan is that there are no villages nearby, and there are many like bosses.
People made their first pot of gold here back then.”
"Then if you make so much money, why is it all wasted now?" I asked.
Brother Jie used his left foot to crush the cigarette butts he had just thrown on the ground. He looked at me and said, "Because there is no more coal, the entire Queshan underground has been mined by us."
