Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 511 I want your money and your life
When Gao Mingcheng followed Mao Zi to a remote and barren mountain near the next county, doubts emerged in Gao Mingcheng's heart.

There are mountains ahead and there is no road.

Gao Mingcheng could only stop the tractor. He looked at the endless mountains and asked, "Is this really here?"

Mao Zi seemed a little surprised. He stretched his neck and looked ahead. After a while, he pointed to a raised mountain peak and said excitedly: "That's right, the man told me that along this road Keep walking until you see a mountain peak that looks like an eagle's beak, and you've arrived. Brother Mingcheng, look at that mountain peak, does it look like an eagle's beak?"

Gao Mingcheng looked in the direction Maozi pointed. The raised mountain peak did look like an eagle's beak.

And the entire mountain looks like an eagle looking down.

"What about the seller?" Gao Mingcheng asked again.

Mao Zi thought for a while and said, "There should be someone who can lead the way. Brother Mingcheng, wait a minute. I'll call and ask."

Maozi put his hands together in front of his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and then shouted loudly: "Hey! Is there anyone? We are here to buy something!"

He shouted several times in succession, and after a while, a deep voice came from behind a hillside, saying: "You are on the wrong road. There is no place to sell anything here. My sheep are grazing in front of you, you guys." We can’t go any further!”

Mao Zi was stunned and shouted loudly: "It was a brother named Da Mao who called me here. He said there are many good things here, and he even showed me a vase."

"Da Mao? Are you called here by Da Mao?" At this time, the man who was hiding behind the hillside and talking finally appeared.

Judging from his dress, he looks like a local villager.

But Gao Mingcheng noticed something abnormal through the conversation between them.

The man was about forty years old, with dark skin, hands full of cracks, and nails full of stains. Different from his simple dress, his eyes were sharp and shrewd.

He looked at Mao Zi and Gao Mingcheng up and down, and said nothing for a while.

Mao Zi didn't notice anything was wrong, and said stupidly: "Yeah, brother Da Mao knew that I was collecting antiques everywhere, so he said he was destined to me. His name is Da Mao, and my name is Mao Zi. Their names are quite similar. Hehe."

The man stared at Mao Zi for a few seconds, then looked away. He pointed at Gao Mingcheng and asked, "Then who is he?"

Mao Zi quickly said: "He is the boss behind me, and all the antiques I collect are sold to him. Brother Da Mao said that there are many good things there, but they are expensive. With my little capital, I can't even get the worst one." I couldn’t take the vase, so I called the boss.”

"Brother, don't worry, as long as the thing is genuine and good, we can buy it!"

Mao Zi didn't know how much money Gao Mingcheng had, nor how deep the water was here. His confident expression deceived the man.

"You... brought money?" The man's expression became more relaxed, but he still wanted to make sure.

He asked while staring at Gao Mingcheng, so Gao Mingcheng patted the bag he was carrying to indicate that the money was inside.

There are no large banknotes or bank cards at the moment. If you want to carry a large amount of cash out, you can't do it without a bag.

This time, the man was completely relaxed. He said to the two of them: "Come with me. It's not time to sell goods yet. You can take a rest in the house where I graze the sheep."

"Oh, my name is Lao Chen." Lao Chen led the two of them and continued walking towards the mountains. After walking for a while, they heard the sound of sheep bleating. Looking around, they could see a dozen goats scattered here. Eating grass in the mountains and forests.

When we arrived here, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

It was an October day, and it was getting dark now. Lao Chen led them to continue walking forward, twisting and turning, for another ten minutes, and then they saw a small wooden house on the hillside.

The cabin was built in the mountains, so there were no wires, and the inside was lit by kerosene lamps.

As soon as Maozi entered the cabin, he looked around and asked impatiently: "Old Chen, where are the things? Brother Da Mao said there are a lot of things for sale here!"

Old Chen chuckled and said, "Didn't I just say that? It's not time to sell the goods yet! You guys rest here first, and I'll go outside to get the sheep to the sheepfold."

Seeing that Lao Chen was about to leave, Gao Mingcheng said: "Hey, just tell me the time. If you have to wait a few more hours, I will sleep for a while. I didn't sleep well last night and I am already sleepy now!"

When Lao Chen heard Gao Mingcheng say that he didn't sleep well last night, his eyes flickered, and then he said: "Then you can go to sleep. You won't be able to see the goods until early in the morning. There will be other buyers by then, not just the two of you." indivual."

Maozi screamed, and the expression on his face cracked: "What? We can't see the goods until early in the morning? Then I haven't even had dinner!"

This time, no matter how stupid Maozi was, he felt something was wrong. He looked at Gao Mingcheng, waiting for Gao Mingcheng to make up his mind whether they should leave or stay.

When Lao Chen heard Mao Zi's words, he frowned, but he still said, "There are sesame cakes and water in this room, as well as a kettle. You can boil water for drinking."

After hearing this, Mao Zi became even more panicked. He said, "Brother, how about we go back?"

He was somewhat shrewd. After he noticed something was wrong, he stopped calling Gao Mingcheng's name.

Gao Mingcheng naturally knew something was wrong, but the so-called talented people are bold, and his life has been a bit quiet recently, and the restless factor in his body is already ready to stir up.

"You're here, let's take a look at the goods first before leaving. Besides, it's getting dark now, and it's not safe to go back down the mountain. Maozi, let's boil a kettle of hot water first, and then heat up the biscuits and eat them. Hey, old man Chen, do you want to eat together?" Gao Mingcheng asked Lao Chen while preparing to boil water.

Lao Chen said with a smile: "I won't eat it. I'll eat it at the sheepfold later."

"Okay, after I eat the sesame cakes, I'm going to take a nap. When it's time to look at the goods, just come here and call me." Gao Mingcheng said.

Lao Chen naturally agreed.

After Lao Chen left, Mao Zi immediately said: "Brother, let's go back. I think this place is weird, something is wrong!"

Gao Mingcheng continued to light the fire. The sesame seed cakes were placed in a bamboo basket. They were already hard to the touch. He didn't know how long they had been there.

But after he smelled it, he felt it was still edible.

He placed the sesame cakes next to the fire to bake, and whispered: "Maozi, don't worry, even if they are trying to make money, they won't kill you."

But it’s hard for me to say, I want their money and their lives! ——Gao Mingcheng slandered.

Mao Zi was even more anxious. He thought Gao Mingcheng had no experience in martial arts and didn't see the problem. But it turned out that he did, but he didn't want to leave!
However, Maozi was anxious for a while and then he persuaded himself.

Gao Mingcheng is not afraid, so what is he afraid of?
Gao Mingcheng is so powerful that he can beat ten of them!Besides, the money is also Gao Mingcheng's money. No matter what he does, he won't suffer much loss!
Thinking this way, Mao Zi felt calmer. He also followed Gao Mingcheng's example and began to bake sesame seed cakes to eat.

This sesame seed cake is cold and hard. If it is not toasted, it will be hot and inedible.

After eating the sesame cakes, the boiling water in the pot was boiling hot. There were some coarse porcelain cups and bowls in the house for holding water.

Gao Mingcheng poured a bowl of water and drank it in one gulp when it was almost cold.

He walked out of the cabin and began to observe the situation around him.

At this time, Old Chen appeared out of nowhere. Seeing Gao Mingcheng strolling outside, he asked, "Are you full?"

Gao Mingcheng said: "When I'm full, I'll go out and pee. I'm going to sleep later. I'm a light sleeper and wake up easily, and I can't have lights. Lao Chen, you must come and call me when you see the goods. me!"

Lao Chen nodded and said: "Okay, you can go to sleep. I will definitely come to call you when the time comes."

After talking to Lao Chen, Gao Mingcheng turned his back and started peeing against a tree.

After he finished urinating, he walked into the cabin again without a care in the world.

He lay down in the innermost position of the cabin, seemingly ready to sleep.

Seeing that Gao Mingcheng was about to sleep, Mao Zi panicked again and whispered, "Brother, do you really want to sleep?"

"What are you doing if you don't sleep? You should sleep too!" Gao Mingcheng muttered, turned over and started snoring.

Mao Zi was dumbfounded and fell asleep just like that?
How can I fall asleep in this barren mountain and in this unfamiliar cabin?

Mao Zi was extremely panicked, but he didn't dare to go back alone.

Because of fear and because the light was a little dim when he entered the mountain, he actually forgot the way!
Just when Mao Zi was panicking, Gao Mingcheng, who was lying down and sleeping, suddenly sat up. "Maozi, I have to go out for something. You stay here to cover me. If that old Chen comes here to see what's going on, don't let him light the lamp. Just say there is light. I won't be able to sleep well."

Mao Zi was dumbfounded. Before he could answer, he saw Gao Mingcheng's figure flash past and run towards the mountain.

Hey, wait...take me with you!
Before Mao Zi had time to say the words, Gao Mingcheng was completely out of sight.

It was pitch dark outside.

He saw neither the sheep nor Lao Chen, as if there was only this lonely cabin in the world.

Mao Zi was so scared that he quickly closed the door with his backhand.

He hid in the cabin, wanting to light a fire, but he was afraid that the light would reveal that Gao Mingcheng had left.

In the end, he could only run around anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.

After Gao Mingcheng realized that Lao Chen was far away, he left the cabin and followed Lao Chen's trail.

It was already dark, but Lao Chen didn't take out a flashlight for lighting. He seemed to be very familiar with this area. Even in the mountains, he walked very steadily.

After walking for about ten minutes, there were several sheds in front of them, but they were surrounded by tarpaulins, so they were windproof and warm inside.

"Da Mao, today's game is about dealing with Shi Laosan. Why are you calling Nantouqing?" Lao Chen asked sharply as soon as he entered the shed.

But Da Mao said nonchalantly: "Shi Laosan is very smart. If he doesn't call a few real buyers, I'm afraid he will see something is wrong and leave."

"Nonsense, we found someone to act as a buyer!"

"Okay, everyone is here. One more person is not too much, and one person less than him is not a lot. Since he came with money, let him buy it!" At this time, another person spoke.

Old Chen snorted lightly and said, "I have arranged them in a cabin on the mountainside. When Shi Laosan is about to arrive, I will bring them up."

"Row."

Gao Mingcheng hid outside and heard the conversation clearly.

His five senses were sensitive and he could sense that there were at least seven or eight people in the shed. In order not to alert others, he left quietly.

His steps were very light and his body was very fast. He never accidentally made any noise while eavesdropping.

When he was far away, he let go of his speed and ran, all the way towards the foot of the mountain.

When he arrived at the location where he parked the tractor, he did not choose to drive the tractor, but continued running towards the county.

Driving a tractor makes too much noise, which can easily attract the attention of those people. Besides, the speed of the tractor is not as fast as his running speed!
But because it was relatively far away, even Gao Mingcheng had to run for more than an hour before arriving at the police station.

There is someone on duty at the police station at night. The person on duty today, Gao Mingcheng, is not very familiar, but they naturally know each other, so Gao Mingcheng said breathlessly: "I have a major case and need to tell the police. I'm going to call the high-ranking bureau, and I'll rest for a while."

Even Gao Mingcheng was exhausted from running all the way down.

After asking the person on duty to call Gao Guobing and Gao Guobing's capable subordinates, Gao Mingcheng took the opportunity to rest here for a while.

But after he was out of breath, he thought about it and decided to use the police station's phone number to call home.

Although they were not far apart, he still needed to conserve his energy.

Fortunately, the clothing store had already installed a telephone. After dialing the phone number, it only rang twice before someone answered the phone.

"Hey, who is it?"

There were many beautiful voices on the other end of the phone.

Gao Mingcheng pursed his lips and showed a smile. He pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's me, Duomei. I'm going to do something with Uncle Guobing tonight, so I won't go back to sleep. You guys go to bed early, no need." Wait for me."

Duo Mei recognized the voice of Gao Mingcheng and immediately said: "You have been gone for so long, and I am worried about you! Since you are with Uncle Guobing, I am relieved."

"that is it."

Gao Mingcheng hung up the phone and felt relieved.

After overhearing the conversation between those people, Gao Mingcheng knew that this matter was not simple.

He had met the Shi Laosan among those people from a distance in his previous life. He said he was very good at robbing tombs and his methods were very vicious. Later, he heard that he had smuggled himself to the beautiful country.

Gao Mingcheng originally wanted to find out the situation first, and then act according to the situation. He subdued the person first, and then took the things for himself.

As for the people, they can be left to Gao Guobing to deal with afterwards.

But after hearing the name Shi Laosan, he knew that he couldn't act rashly.

Because before he went out, he was defenseless and unarmed.

To deal with ordinary people, he could just use his bare hands, but to deal with Shi Laosan, he felt it was better to play it safe.

He came down the mountain to report the news. Firstly, he wanted Gao Guobing and others to come and get all the stolen goods. Secondly, he came to get the equipment.

But there is no rush for equipment, he is now eyeing the rice krispie treats brought by the staff on duty!
He had eaten two sesame seed cakes at the cabin before, but his stomach was still growling with hunger, so he helped himself without asking, planning to make some compensation afterwards.

The production of this rice krispie candy is quite complicated. First, the rice is cooked, then dispersed and dried in the shade, and then fried together with clean sand to make popcorn.

Finally, boil the maltose syrup, stir it with the popcorn, pour it into the template, flatten it and cut it into pieces.

If the conditions are better, some fried peanuts and sesame seeds will be added, which will taste better and be more fragrant.

This rice krispie candy must have been made not long ago, and it is quite crispy. Gao Mingcheng took one bite, and it tasted delicious.

After eating all the rice krispie treats, the man finally brought Gao Guobing.

Gao Mingcheng wiped his mouth and said apologetically to the man: "I was too hungry and couldn't help eating your rice krispie treats. Next time I will buy two kilograms for you!"

The man quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's just a few pieces of rice krispie treats."

Gao Mingcheng smiled, he would definitely repay this favor.

Gao Guobing also ran over all the way. When he saw Gao Mingcheng, he immediately asked: "Mingcheng, what is the case?"

Gao Mingcheng did not elaborate, because there was no time and they had to rush to the mountain as soon as possible.

Gao Mingcheng said: "Uncle, don't talk about that now, hurry up and bring your equipment! Just give me an iron rod!"

Gao Guobing looked at him deeply, but he was too sensible to ask any more questions. He believed in Gao Mingcheng, and he still remembered the time when Gao Mingcheng gave him credit.

Thinking this, his heart became faintly excited.

When he was getting the equipment, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Song and Huang Dazhi also ran over quickly.

They all live near the police station and are also Gao Guobing's capable men.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Gao Mingcheng said: "Let's go first, and I will tell you the situation when we are on the road."

The few people looked at each other and agreed not to ask any questions. They came to the parking lot in the yard and got into an old jeep.

Gao Mingcheng was in charge of driving, Gao Guobing sat in the passenger seat, and the other three people crowded in the back.
