Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 36 Wudaogou

After a while, the voice fell, and except for the whistling wind, no other sound could be heard for a while.

Zhu Kaishan didn't say anything after hearing this. He just got up from the ground and sighed softly.

Zhu Chuanren's mouth squirmed twice, but finally he couldn't hold back and said:
"Dad, is He Laosi's golden vein map really in your hands?"

Zhu Kaishan did not answer in a hurry. He looked at He Laosi's tombstone blankly and said after a long time:
"The map is all in my head."

"really have?"

At that moment, Zhu Chuanren's eyes seemed to flash like a fairy from heaven.

"Yeah! So, your father and I are also responsible for He Laosi's death. I have to avenge him!"

Zhu Chuanren nodded:
"Revenge must be avenged, but Dad, what is the situation in Wudaogou? Why do they want to kill He Laosi?"

Zhu Kaishan turned around and pointed his chin in the direction of the river ditch:
"How much gold do you think there is in this bend of the river?"

Zhu Chuanren glanced at it and shook his head slightly:

"I don't know how to dig for gold, so I can't estimate it."

Zhu Kaishan pointed far away:
"Following the river, the straight-line distance is about seven or eight miles. There is Wudaogou, which is composed of five rapid river bends. The river surface there is wide and the sand and gravel are piled up. According to He Laosi's experience, there must be There are veins of gold, and it’s a huge gold mine.”

Zhu Chuanren was stunned for a moment, frowned and said:
"There is gold veins seven or eight miles up? How could the government not know about it?"

Zhu Kaishan sneered:
"Of course they don't know, because if they want to reach the upper reaches of the river, they have to pass through the forest, but the forest is very evil and full of miasma no matter what season it is.

The miasma was poisonous, and people who entered were either dead or disabled. As time went by, no one took the risk. The government subconsciously gave up on the upper reaches and always searched the lower reaches. Naturally, nothing was found, and Wudaogou became a legend. The presence! "

Zhu Chuanren suddenly realized that this made sense.

But suddenly he was inspired:
"So He Laosi's map is actually the route through the miasma forest?"

Zhu Kaishan glanced at his third son happily and nodded slightly:
"Yes, he discovered that route accidentally, and he only told me one person after he came back!"

Zhu Chuanren was shocked in his heart. He Laosi and Zhu Kaishan were really blood brothers. They actually told his father about their wealth and wealth, and in order to keep the secret, they would rather be tortured to death than say a single word.

Looking at He Laosi's tombstone again, Zhu Chuanren felt admiration.

Not for anything else, just because he can bring himself the first pot of gold, and because of his brotherly love for his father, which has been tested by real gold and deserves his respect!
The next morning, the sun shone into Jinfu's wooden house.

The gold lovers got up one after another, and Zhu Kaishan sat at the door, smoking silently and looking at the mountains in the distance.

When Zhu Chuanren came back from relieving himself, he saw his father sitting at the door, staring into the distance in a daze. Knowing that he missed his brother, he didn't say much, so he walked over and pulled him up:

"Dad, stop looking and go get something to eat!"

Zhu Kaishan spit out white mist and nodded slightly.

At this time, Da Jinli came out of the room, was slightly startled when he saw Zhu Chuanren, and immediately squeezed out a smile and said:
"Brother, are you done?"

Dajinli is much older than Chuanren. Call him Big Brother. This guy is really interesting. You could say he has no brains. He is quite neat when giving in. But even if he has brains, he can't do anything to offend people casually. thing.

Zhu Chuanren shook his head, responded casually and ignored it.

It has been almost a week since I came to Laojingou. The spring is full of beauty in Jingou and the water in the Hetao waterway is gurgling.

The water on the streamer made a splashing sound, and the water on the golden dustpan made a splashing sound.

The gold collectors buried a three-meter-long wooden pole in front of the workshop, tied the gold man's head with a red cloth piously, and set up an offering table in front of the temple.

When everything was ready, Jin Boutou led the gold husbands to kneel on the grass and perform a pious ceremony of worshiping mountains and water.

After the worship, Dana held up a skinny man and stood in front of the crowd and said:
"Guys, today I paid a lot of money to hire Lao Jinqiao from Mohe. He is a good expert at digging for gold and digging ditches. Follow him and wait for you to get rich."

Everyone shouted excitedly: "Get rich, get rich!" Outside the wooden houses where the gold traders lived, many gold traders were packing their tools.

Niu Dejin said to Zhu Kaishan: "Brother Zhu, worshiping mountains and water is really interesting. There are so many gold-mining talk."

After hearing this, Xiao Jinli interrupted and said, "That's not true!"

Niu Dejin looked at the old man whom Dana Jinda had previously called Jin Pimple and said:

"What's that old Jin Gupao capable of? Even the big cabinet treats him with respect."

Zhu Kaishan didn't talk much. This week, others were adapting to life in Lao Jingou, but he was on the good side. He was constantly being brainwashed by his son. He mainly said three words - talk less, inquire less, and listen to him!

As a father-in-law, he would definitely not be able to lose face, but he couldn't stand Zhu Chuanren's tireless explanation.

After talking too much, he just let it go.

Anyway, Zhu Chuanren said that if he listened to him, he could avenge He Laosi. Zhu Kaishan had no choice but to listen to his son before he had any good ideas.

A gold hunter who had panned for gold before said:

"This old Jin Qiao is not a simple man. He is famous for thousands of miles around. It is all thanks to him to pull the ditch."

Niu Dejin continued to use his curiosity and asked:

"Eh? Since the first day I came here, I have been hearing people say Lagou, Lagou, what exactly is Lagou?"

Little Jinni raised his chin and said:

"You don't even know this? You're still called Dejin. Come on, Deshi. Come and call me Master, and I'll explain it to you!"

The proud old man's face turned red:
"You and your brother have dark hearts, little brat, get out of here!"

Da Jinli happened to be passing by behind them. When he heard someone talking about his brother, his face darkened and he kicked Niu Dejin on the butt:
"Old bastard, did I give you face?"

Although he was defeated by Zhu Chuanren, it didn't mean that he had restrained his temper. A dog can't change his habit of eating shit.

"Hey! Why are you hitting someone? Brother Zhu, please take care of him."

Zhu Chuanren looked at Niu Dejin, a coward, and shook his head helplessly. He thought this person could be a helper, but after observing him for such a long time, he thought it would be good not to cause any trouble for him.

Zhu Kaishan smiled and waved his hand at the big golden grain:

"Little brother, look at me, Lao Niu's mouth is like this, don't take it seriously."

The big gold nugget naturally wanted to give Zhu Kaishan face. He was almost poached by someone else's son, so he could naturally tell the difference between the big and the big kings.

Xiao Jinli was kind-hearted in nature. Knowing that this incident was caused by a joke of his own, he felt a little embarrassed, so he said:
"Don't you want to know what lagou is? Let me tell you. Lagou means looking at the water, stones, and the trend of the mountains in the Gold Field."

Niu Dejin's emotions came and went quickly. As soon as he heard this, he immediately forgot about the unpleasantness just now and asked hurriedly: "Why are you looking at these?"

A golden man on the side sneered:

"Old Niu, Old Niu, you're a stick, but you still don't want to hear it. What do you mean? Of course it's to choose a nest. If we don't choose this gold mining nest, our work will be in vain."

Niu Dejin is not stupid after all. If you still don’t understand, he really needs to change his name to Niu Deshi.

Hehe smiled naively and said: "I understand, I understand. If I had said this earlier, wouldn't I have understood?"

While they were chatting, not far away, Jin Duotou raised a shabby flag on the wooden pole in front of the door - "raising the flag".

Little Jinni shouted excitedly: "The flag is up, let's go!"

Zhu Chuanren glanced at the sound, followed the team, and strode toward the river.
