At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Yuan Bao suddenly screamed.
Lu Lu reined in Zhuifeng's reins and looked at Yuanbao strangely, realizing that the direction he was barking was not in Jingou, but in the opposite direction.
"There are fresh horse hoof prints and dried blood stains!"
Zhao Yongke jumped off his horse and took a look: "The footprints are going back and forth, it's very messy."
Is it a good thing to see blood?
He had every reason to believe that Chen Xiuqing was being hunted.
Thinking of Chen Xiuqing's current situation, Lu Lu immediately took out the semi-automatic.
"Lao Wu, which direction are we going?" Zhang Shaofeng looked both ways, waiting for Lu Lu's answer.
"Believe in Yuanbao!"
Lu Lu said solemnly, clamped the horse's belly, turned around and followed Yuan Bao.
When the dogs saw this, they immediately knew what Lu Lu meant, and trotted all the way to explore the path ahead.
The four people followed, and after spending more than half an hour, they saw the dead Oroqen horse, and everyone's expressions suddenly became solemn.
This is Chen Xiuqing’s Oroqen horse!
Then, they saw several dogs climbing up the hillside, and they quickly followed them. When they reached the top of the mountain, they went down the hillside to the swamp.
They noticed that the bloodstains disappeared halfway down the slope. There were intricate horse hoof prints and footprints everywhere, and it was so messy.
However, Yuanbao continued to run down. Lu Lu did not hesitate and followed carefully. Soon Yuanbao reached the edge of the swamp and smelled a large area of camphor leaves on the edge of the swamp.
The small-leaf camphor mentioned here is not the common camphor tree in the city, but a kind of herbaceous plant in the wilderness. It is also called thatch or big-leaf camphor, which is what people often call yangcao. The stems are upright.
It will bloom and is mainly used for pasture, thatch, etc.
When Lu Lu first came to Dahuang as an educated youth, the main means of transportation in the company was horse-drawn carriages, and the main fodder for raising horses was camphor.
Every time when the crops are about to be harvested, a large number of manpower will be organized to cut the grass in the meadow. In the meadow, small-leaf camphor trees are everywhere and cover a large area.
Usually, a sickle is used to cut the path, a large fan knife is placed on the pavement, and it is dried for two or three days before being bundled and stacked. It is naturally air-dried and stacked to prevent rain. It is frozen in winter before being pulled back, and the cattle and horses are fed in winter.
Even in the straw huts we first lived in in the wilderness, the grass used in the thatched houses was Camphora camphora. This is a "scripture" taken from the surrounding villagers. Using Camphora camphora to make straw curtains can solve the problem of thatch cover.
Before the company harvests wheat every year, the company will determine the task of straw curtains based on the number of employees' family members and students. The company will purchase them uniformly. The purchase price of a straw curtain is one yuan and eighty cents. It is a job that almost every household is rushing to do.
Cinnamomum camphora is not only used as forage grass and thatch grass, but it is also indispensable for braiding grass braids with mud to build warehouses, plastering walls, removing adobe bricks to make kangs, and cooking and burning firewood.
And now, several dogs were barking at the large area of camphor leaves on the edge of the swamp.
Several people hurriedly dismounted, pulled away the grass blades, and saw the unconscious Chen Xiuqing, whose face was exposed in the grass, and all other parts of her body were submerged in the mud under the dense grass roots of Camphora camphora.
You can't tell it without looking very carefully.
Several people hurriedly dragged Chen Xiuqing out, who was covered in mud. Zhao Yongke took a breath and said, "You still have some breath!"
Then they saw Chen Xiuqing's left leg wrapped in a coat. Lu Lu untied it and looked at it. When he saw the shocking left calf, he couldn't help but sigh: "This leg of his is probably useless."
...Hurry and help and send him to Tahe Hospital."
That's the nearest hospital.
No one could imagine what kind of struggle Chen Xiuqing, who was being chased and injured on her calf, went through to hide in such a place.
Everyone looked at it and shook their heads and sighed.
Several people helped to get Chen Xiuqing across the swamp, and Lu Lu rode on Zhui Feng. After the three of them helped Chen Xiuqing sit on Zhui Feng's back, and took the rope to help tie him to Lu Lu, the group of people moved toward
Hurry in the direction of Tahe.
In the turbulence, Chen Xiuqing woke up again. When he recognized Lu Lu and others, he said in a weak voice: "Brother Lu, you are here... I thought I would never see you again."
His tone was full of joy for surviving the disaster.
Lu Lu didn't reply to him, but just tried his best to steady himself on the horse. In his heart, he had no desire to talk to Chen Xiuqing now.
But at this moment, Chen Xiuqing suddenly howled, which suddenly ignited Lu Lu's suppressed anger.
"Why are you howling? You know how to howl now? You have to give me some advice, right? You insist on seeking death, and you end up like this. Who can blame you? You still learned to trick others at home, and you are domineering.
, you can bully others, right? You have to destroy yourself to regret it, who should you scream to? Did I ask you to come to this place to die?"
How could Lu Lu have a good face: "Who did it?"
"That group of people who asked us to use horses to pull their cart for hunting last year!" Chen Xiuqing said in a weak voice.
"It's them..."
Lu Lu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that after going all over the place, Qi Wenkai still had his fault. He suddenly felt that he thought that it was an intersection in his previous life and there was no need to deliberately target him in this life. It seemed that he was still wrong.
He rode his horse without saying a word and sent Chen Xiuqing to Tahe County Hospital in the evening.
This is an extremely important forest production base in the Greater Khingan Mountains. It has been an extremely important place since ancient times. There have been many forest logging accidents. This also makes it deep in the mountains, but it also has hospitals with excellent medical standards. There is no need to go to big cities.
Running, there are a lot less bumps.
Several people waited outside the operating room for a long time before they saw the doctor come out.
Lu Lu sat on a long chair and did not move. Zhang Shaofeng and others gathered around him.
"Doctor, how is he doing?" Zhang Shaofeng asked.
"The bones were shattered into comminuted fractures, and the wound ran through the entire calf. The bleeding was not stopped in time, and he was soaked in mud and became infected. From now on, he can only use crutches to help him walk. He is very weak... We try our best.
Now, let’s stay here for a few days and take her back to raise her.”
After the doctor finished speaking, he left first. Soon, Chen Xiuqing was pushed out of the operating room and sent to the ward. She had not yet woken up from the anesthesia. After the doctor injected an intravenous drip, several people gathered around the bed and watched silently.
After waiting for more than an hour, Chen Xiuqing woke up and turned to look at Zhang Shaofeng, Liang Kangbo, Zhao Yongke who were sitting around, and Lu Lu who was standing at the window looking outside. Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes one after another:
"Am I no longer able to ride mountains in the future?"
"The doctor said you can't live without crutches in the future." Zhang Shaofeng sighed slightly: "No matter what, it's good to be alive if you save a life, or you can live a stable life at home."
Chen Xiuqing stopped talking and closed her eyes with pain on her face. After a long time, she opened them again and looked at Lu Lu who was standing at the window.
"I was also at fault in this matter. I shouldn't have brought you here to dig for gold. I ignored that many people couldn't control themselves when it came to gold mining. I was the one who harmed Qingzi... Fourth brother, after you go back, please go to the armed forces."
Let’s go there and tell them that there are gold mines in the mountains, and everyone will stop thinking about gold mining.”
Lu Lu was silent for a long time: "Human desires are too difficult to control. I don't want you to follow this path like Qingzi."
Zhang Shaofeng thought for a while and said: "Okay!"
"Just say that we were hunting in the mountains and encountered someone fighting for it. It is a large gold placer mine that has not been discovered. As for how to develop it in the future, that is their business."
Lu Lu himself also gave up the idea of coming here to pan for gold in the future.
He didn't know whether it was good or bad to tell the story about the Baoxinggou Gold Mine in advance, but he now knew very well that even if they were sworn brothers, everyone actually had their own Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.
They may form a monolith, and all he can do is cut off the source of this source of endless temptation that is difficult for ordinary people to resist, which can be considered as a way of protecting his brothers.
You know, let alone the 1980s, even in the early 1990s, with armed police guards, such things could never be stopped. Thousands of people were always surrounding the gold mines being mined, and then there were all kinds of things.
fight.
It can't be stopped. Even if the bank's vehicles come to the mining area to pull gold, they will send people to find the gold diggers to collect the placer gold they have. Of course, the price will be lowered a lot.
Until resources are scarce, a ban is issued to prohibit private mining.
Otherwise, wherever there is gold, it will always be a whirlpool of madness.
"Everyone, please calm down!"
He repeated it again.
Several people nodded silently.
In the evening, Lu Lu asked several people to go to the county town to find a hotel to stay. He himself stayed in front of Chen Xiuqing's hospital bed. He didn't say anything, but simply waited on Chen Xiuqing to eat, drink, and defecate.
At dawn the next day, Lu Lu left the hospital, mounted his horse, took the ingot, and entered the mountains again.
We were already familiar with the roads, so we set off early, and when we arrived near Jingou, it was only close to noon.
Without entering the golden ditch immediately, Lu Lu chose a place two hundred meters away, climbed up a dense linden tree, looked down at the four people who were busy panning for gold in the ditch, then raised his gun and aimed through the scope.
, pulled the trigger.
In the first shot, the man washing gold sand under the water was shot in the head and fell to the ground immediately.
The other three people were frightened and threw away the tools at hand and were busy looking for guns.
At this moment, Lu Lu fired a second shot, and the man running at the end was knocked down by one shot.
Only Qi Wenkai and another person got into the shack, but there was no movement for a while.
Lu Lu waited patiently, knowing that they were looking for their place.
But they were more than two hundred meters away, and they were in the woods. They could only judge the approximate direction based on the sound of gunfire. Everywhere they looked, there were dense forest branches and leaves everywhere, and nothing could be seen. It was not that easy to find.
Finally, the man came out of the shack, carrying a bag, and worked desperately to get the horse.
This is an escape!
He had just taken two steps when another gunshot was heard, and the man immediately fell to the ground and became motionless.
In the end, only Qi Wenkai was left hiding in the shack.
Lu Lu put down his gun and looked at the small shack through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
Three people were killed in succession, as if real panic could drive people crazy.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, probably because he couldn't hold it any longer in the shack, Qi Wenkai suddenly jumped out of the shack, held the semi-automatic in the direction of the gunfire on the hillside, and kept pulling the trigger.
After pouring the bullets into the gun, Lu Lu fired while he was busy loading bullets into the gun again.
The bullet accurately hit his thigh.
Qi Wenkai screamed, staggered two steps, fell backwards, and threw away the semi-automatic he was holding. He held his thighs with his hands and howled, but in the end he couldn't resist the intense pain and fell to the ground and passed out.
At this time, Lu Lu got down from the tree, led the horse and dog down to the golden ditch, sat down on the rocks next to Qi Wenkai, and waited quietly.
The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle uses 7.62mm bullets and is an ordinary caliber firearm.
The range of two hundred meters is a medium-range shooting.
Such a bullet was so powerful that it penetrated his thigh. The entrance of the bullet on the front was only a small hole about one centimeter in diameter. However, where it penetrated on the back, there was a wound as big as half a fist.
Broken bones and tendons!
If rescued in time, he can survive, but he will only be disabled, just like Chen Xiuqing.
