Inside the tent, the mosquito coils glowed with a faint red light, the light smoke emitted completely blended into the darkness, and the faint smell of mugwort seemed a bit strong.
"Woof..."
This was the ninth time Yuanbao and the other dogs got up and started barking.
Outside the tent, Zhang Shaofeng, who was sitting by the fire and keeping vigil, looked in the direction where Yuan Bao and the others were barking, and turned on the safety of the semi-automatic rifle in his arms.
After waiting for a while, Yuanbao and the others lay down to sleep at the door of the tent again, and he also turned off the safety.
At this moment, Lu Lu quietly emerged from the tent: "Go and take a nap, let me do it!"
"You were on guard before, and you just slept for almost two hours. Then you got up again. It's time for Qingzi to come out and guard!" Zhang Shaofeng said in a low voice.
"It's okay. Qingzi is sleeping very deeply. Let him sleep. I'll take his place. Anyway, I will wake up as soon as I hear Yuanbao's cry. I won't be able to sleep for a while. I will just drive on my way tomorrow and won't do anything else.
Son, it’s okay!”
Lu Lu patted Zhang Shaofeng's shoulder, held the semi-automatic and sat down next to him.
"Then... okay!" Zhang Shaofeng hesitated for a moment, then finally yawned and got into the tent.
Not long after, his slight snoring started to sound.
Yuanbao's barking is a reminder that someone is approaching.
Thousands of people were tossing in the sixteen-mile-long Xinglong ditch. Even though the camping place was far downstream from the mine, the treacherous clouds at night could still be felt.
These people who are still ready to move at night don't know what they are spying on.
Fortunately, nothing happened overnight. When it was just dawn, Lu Lu added firewood and started to cook breakfast. It was a simple porridge made of millet, corn and beans, with the sauerkraut he brought.
Simple, yet incredibly delicious.
In most people's minds, porridge is a very delicate food, but in the wilderness, eating it has a different feeling.
People in the wilderness like to drink whole grain porridge, and often add many grains to the rice porridge. They are especially fond of corn porridge. Just like people in the wilderness like to hang bunches of yellow corn in front of their doors, it has become a major staple in the countryside.
feature.
The porridge made from various types of whole grains also perfectly reflects the bold and informal character of the Dahuang people.
While making porridge, Lu Lu took some corn and bean cakes to feed the horses, and also cooked some corn noodles for Yuan Bao and the others.
When everything was ready, Chen Xiuqing suddenly turned over and sat up, carrying the semi-automatic car out of the car: "When I stay vigil... uh, is it already dawn?"
He looked at Lu Lu in a daze: "Brother Lu, why don't you call me?"
"Stop talking nonsense and tell everyone to get up quickly and tidy up after breakfast. We have to leave early!"
"Oh...good!"
Soon, Chen Xiuqing woke up all the people, got out of the tent, yawned and stretched into the ditch in front, washed his face with cold water, returned to the tent, and each took bowls and chopsticks to drink porridge.
.
After eating and drinking, several people quickly packed their luggage, tied it to their horses, and rode through Xinglong Ditch, onto the road, and headed towards the Tahe River.
From Xinglonggou to Tahe, there is a main road accessible by cars, which is quite easy to walk.
Everywhere the group passed, they were stared at.
It wasn't until we walked out of the mining area that the inexplicable feeling of depression disappeared.
"There are so many people who want money rather than their lives!" Zhang Shaofeng let out a long sigh of relief.
Lu Lu smiled: "Actually, so are we!"
Hearing these words, Zhang Shaofeng was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "That's right, people die for money, and birds die for food. We are not much better, we are all here for money."
The group of people rode horses and trotted all the way, covering seven or eight miles. While they were talking, Yuan Bao suddenly shouted again.
Lu Lu frowned slightly, and took out the semi-automatic in his hand. Zhang Shaofeng and others also looked serious, and then took out the semi-automatic, and the safety was turned on.
Riding the horse along the road for more than a hundred meters, at a bend in the road, the sound of branches and leaves swaying came from the trees, and soon more than ten people jumped out on the road, blocking the road.
Among these people, five were holding semi-automatic machines, the rest were carrying large caps and double barrels, and three or four were holding large axes and sabers.
This battle is not small.
The two sides were more than twenty meters apart.
Seeing this, Lu Lu reined in the reins and asked Zhui Feng to stop. He looked at the people calmly and said, "Gentlemen, please give way."
"Everyone who comes from the ditch knows that when we get to this place, we brothers have the final say. If you want to go there, you have to follow the rules and 'get on the knot.' Do you understand?"
The leader lowered his head to open the semi-automatic safety in his hand, then raised his head and looked at the few people with a smile.
"We are hunting. When passing by this place, please show your respect."
Lu Lu smiled faintly.
"Hunting? It looks decent, but the wooden dustpan you brought is not fake. You want to get away with it? We have seen this kind of trick too many times."
"I just passed by yesterday and felt curious, so I bought a wooden dustpan and spent the whole afternoon playing in the ditch. I also helped people search and learned how to use a wooden dustpan. I really didn't have anything. This job is not suitable for us."
"If there are any pimples, we have to check them..."
Before he finished speaking, there was already a loud gunshot.
The gun was fired by Lu Lu, and the bullet hit the leader one inch in front of his yellow rubber shoes.
The sudden change made him jump up in fright. Before he could react, Lu Lu shot him again, and the bullet landed an inch in front of the toe of his other foot.
retreat!
I can only retreat, it is completely controlled by instinct!
But the bullets fired from Lu Lu's gun seemed to have eyes. Each shot followed his retreating steps, forcing him to retreat and fall to the ground.
Then, three shots followed, all hitting him between his legs.
After firing a round of bullets, Lu Lu took out a round from the bullet bag and pressed it into the semi-automatic again.
This shot was followed by another shot, which had already shocked dozens of people on the other side, and they all stared at the leader in panic.
They didn't dare to move, because when Lu Lu fired, Zhang Shaofeng and others immediately raised their guns and took aim. If anyone made any move, a bullet would land accurately in front of them, just inches away.
The leader was already so frightened that his legs were shaking and his crotch was even wet.
He didn't dare to move at all. He fired one shot after another with such precise control that he had no idea of becoming arrogant.
He knew very well that his group had hit a brick wall now.
A casual attack can be so powerful. The four people next to him had not yet taken action. When they raised their guns, they had looked like ordinary people before, but suddenly their whole bodies exuded a fierce aura.
Especially that look in his eyes, not only sharp but also frighteningly wild.
He didn't dare to have the slightest doubt about other people's marksmanship.
There were also those dogs that were barking at them and getting closer and closer with their legs pressed down. They were so fierce that they seemed to be ready to pounce at any time.
If they pounced on them, would they focus on parrying the dog, or the five people on the other side?
More than a dozen people faced off against five people. At this moment, there was no resistance at all. Some were just frightened, and more frightened by the ferocity of these people who suddenly attacked without any warning.
Is he the one who robs the Tao or the other party is the one who robs the Tao?
The leader has already begun to doubt life.
Therefore, when Lu Lu was loading bullets into the gun, the leader immediately turned over, knelt on the ground, and threw the gun aside: "Please spare your life..."
If this really happened, he would only be a living target.
Seeing this, others followed suit.
"We really don't have any problems, we are just hunting."
Lu Lu looked at the group of people in front of him: "Do you still want us to have sex?"
The group of people didn't speak, but they shook their heads in surprisingly unison.
"But I think, we don't have it, you should have it..."
Lu Lu's voice was still very calm: "A bullet is a pimple, otherwise, it is a bullet and a life!"
He said, raising the gun again and aiming at the leader.
"A few... a few... uncles, we don't either..."
The leader couldn't even speak clearly.
"one!"
Lu Lu didn't give him a chance at all.
A simple count seems to have infinite pressure at this moment.
The leader of the other party suddenly became even more panicked. He didn't even have a chance to think about anything. All he could think about was the black hole of the gun aimed at him. He hurriedly shouted at the other people: "Quick, take all the lumps."
What are you doing here when you come out, do you want to die?"
After hearing this, a group of people didn't dare to hesitate at all, and they all dug into their pockets.
So, one small bag after another was delivered to the leader's hands. In order to prove that he really didn't have anything on him, he turned the bags inside out.
The leader tremblingly held the bags and brought them to Lu Lu.
Lu Lu reached out to grab it and put it on the saddle in front of him. He opened the small cloth bags one by one. In the small oil paper bags inside, there were small handfuls of golden foam. Occasionally, a few grains of rice-sized placer gold could be seen.
, the largest one was the bag handed over by the leader at the end. There were several finger-sized gold nuggets, which were not gold nuggets, but were refined and condensed.
Although this thing is not much, it is heavy in gold. Put everything together, Lu Lu weighed it in his hand.
This is quite a lot.
It seems that they do this a lot.
"I told you, we were just passing by while hunting. We took a look out of curiosity. We insisted on entangling you. Jie Dao, I've seen too many things... get out of here!"
Lu Lu unceremoniously put the bag into his hunting bag and gave a cold shout.
Upon hearing this, a group of people turned around and ran into the forest as if they had been granted amnesty.
And from beginning to end, Zhang Shaofeng's muzzle followed him.
This group of people were so timid that they didn't even look back. It wasn't until they were gone that Chen Xiuqing asked blankly: "Did we just commit robbery?"
"What do you think?"
Zhang Shaofeng asked with a smile. He patted his chest and said with a smile: "It's really exciting to me... How much placer gold did you get just now?"
"It's a little more than a pound. On average, each of them can't even get a pound." Lu Lu said simply.
"That's not much!" Chen Xiuqing curled her lips and said, "How poor!"
"poverty?"
Lu Lu looked at Chen Xiuqing, who didn't have much idea about gold, and said: "One gram of gold is almost thirty yuan. As we just got this, if we calculate it as one kilogram, it is also fifteen thousand yuan."
"So many!" Upon hearing this, Chen Xiuqing was frightened and became a little erratic.
Zhang Shaofeng and others were the same. They had no idea that such a simple counter-robbery could get so much money, and they all looked at Lu Lu.
"No wonder no one can live in peace for the whole night. No wonder so many people are willing to stay here, even if they know that they may die!" Zhang Shaofeng sighed: "Then what the value of what we helped the old man buy yesterday is probably worth it.
?”
"It seems to be a little over a gram, and it costs about thirty or forty yuan, which is quite a lot!" Lu Lu explained: "These placer gold are not pure and need to be refined to remove impurities."
Liang Kangbo looked at the direction those people were leaving and looked a little worried: "With so many things, I'm afraid these people won't let it go!"
"There is no way, they also got it from others, and they are doing business without capital. We are not like this. I am afraid that I will not leave anything useful for today... In short, this trip is more valuable than ever.
It’s dangerous, cheer up and be careful!”
Lu Lu sighed slightly: "We'll see!"
"They asked for it... If they are in the woods, just let them come!"
Zhao Yongke, who has been silent, rarely said: "Who is afraid of whom? They are allowed to rob people, but they are not allowed to be robbed? This doesn't make sense!"
Hearing these domineering words, Zhang Shaofeng and others were slightly startled, and then nodded, with a strange look in their eyes.
I would like to apologize here. As the timeline progresses, wages have been rising in all aspects. At this time, they were almost sixty or seventy. In 1984, the price of gold was US$360 per ounce, which was 28.35 grams per ounce.
, one U.S. dollar is equivalent to 2.3 yuan, which is about 30 yuan per gram of gold. At that time, money continued to depreciate, and various prices were also changing.
What I want to say is that when I wrote about Musk, I compared it with the price of gold. I asked Du Niang, or asked a human to ask, and gave me random data, how many US dollars an ounce of gold should be, and the result was that the price was written
It was too high. Previously, the purchase price was between 200 and 300. When the market was liberalized in 1984, the price was around 500 yuan per market, almost 100 yuan per gram. In the end, it became 300 yuan.
Too much...forgive me!
However, gold and musk are both valuable, so just take a look and forgive my serious mistake!
In addition, I would like to thank my book friends Uncle Mo Dou and A Touch of Sadness? Two book friends for their rewards!
