Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 44 Doubt
In the next few days, under the cover of his father and the big and small gold nuggets, Zhu Chuanren got hundreds more gold nuggets one after another.

But the discovery of gold cannot be hidden after all. No matter how powerful Zhu Chuanren is, he cannot dig out all the gold in the entire Hetao.

No, Jin Fu has already seen the golden light, but everyone has a tacit understanding and keeps it quiet. No matter how many golden lumps anyone gets, they will stay and discuss it with everyone when they go back in the evening.

There is no doubt that gold is the original sin. Zhu Chuanren has heard a lot of vicious words and conspiracies in the past few days. Killing whoever has more gold has become the main theme these days.

Fortunately, he was smart and had discussed countermeasures with Jinli and the others in advance. They all looked frustrated, and were often laughed at by Jin Fu who found the gold.

This is human nature!
Some people think that the gold they got is not enough, so they bend over and work hard every day.

And some people feel contented and are ready to run away. No, they have already run away, but
Suddenly, Xiao Jinli pointed in the distance and shouted: "Godfather, look, the bandits are here again!"

In the distance, the horse team galloped towards them, raising a cloud of dust.

Zhu Kaishan's face suddenly twitched and he blurted out: "It's ruined!"

The bandits arrived, and a horse dragged an unrecognizable man to the Loop.

The gold husbands looked at the bandits in horror and did not dare to say anything.

The bandit leader reined in his horse, raised his whip and shouted:

"I've taken care of everything. I'm one of your people this time, right?"

Everyone swarmed in and looked at the people who were dragged here. They all gasped. Wasn't he one of them? Yesterday, this old man showed off to everyone that he had found a dozen gold nuggets and then ran away?
The bandit leader smiled ferociously:

"Listen to me, there are hundreds of miles around here. Even if you have wings, you can't even think of slipping away from under my nose. If you want gold more than your life, come here and die one by one. There are enough mass graves here for you." Buried, if you don’t believe it, try it!”

After saying that, the bandit whistled and galloped away with the cavalry.

As for the bloody gourd lying on the ground
In the end, Zhu Kaishan stood up and asked everyone to move the people to the mass graves and buy them. No matter what, the corpses could not be exposed in the wilderness. People had to be buried in the ground.

The gold husbands looked at the old man's body that had lost its original appearance, and sighed one by one. They didn't know whether they were feeling sad for the old man, or thinking of themselves.

There is no one here who doesn't want to transport the gold out. They are working hard here to dig for gold. Why should they give this huge wealth to others?

While several people were digging a hole, Zhu Chuanren found Zhu Kaishan and whispered:
"Dad, I just noticed that the people in that group of bandits who came back are all familiar faces, which means there are only about thirty bandits in this group at most."

Zhu Kaishan glanced at him:
"What? Are plans going to change again?"

"No, I'm just wondering, how can there be more than thirty bandits, how can they dare to say that a hundred miles around is under his nose?"

Zhu Kaishan frowned slightly:

"what do you mean?"

"And He Laosi, how did he die? I have been asking for so long, and I can tell you everything. Was he really killed because he hid the gold vein map?"

Zhu Kaishan was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed deeper:
"San'er, just tell me what's on your mind."

Zhu Chuanren looked solemn:
"I don't know if my guess is right or not. I took a quick look just now and saw that these bandits are using ordnance!"

Zhu Kaishan's eyelids twitched:
"Do you suspect that behind this group of bandits is a certain general or prince from Guandong?"

If things go as Zhu Chuanren guessed, it will be troublesome. A general or prince is equivalent to a local emperor in Guandong. The resources they can mobilize are far beyond imagination.

"San'er, let's forget it. Let's get the gold out, put it on some land, and live a down-to-earth life. That's great!" Zhu Chuanren shook his head:
"Dad, these are troubled times. Don't think that if you don't bully others, others won't bully you. From ancient times to the present, only fists are the last word. If you want to live in peace, you must fight! You have to defeat everyone. People dare to bully you."

Zhu Chuanren looked directly into Zhu Kaishan's eyes:

"Do you think that one day, my mother will be bullied, Chuanjie will be bullied, and everyone will be bullied, and you will endure it? You will endure it until you can't bear it anymore!"

If Zhu Chuanren had dared to say such things before, Zhu Kaishan would have cried loudly. But now, he knew that his son had independent opinions and had vision far beyond his own, so he had to listen to his words.

"Okay, just tell me what you want to do, and I'll listen to you." Zhu Kaishan said these words, which also meant that he was going to hand over the whole family to Zhu Chuanren.

"First think of a way to get more gold. Only with gold can we recruit troops!"

"Well, have you thought of a way? If it doesn't work, you can swallow the gold."

Zhu Chuanren shook his head:
"No, you can't swallow gold. People will die if you are not careful. Even if human life is not valuable, what about the gold they swallowed?"

Zhu Kaishan narrowed his eyes:
"If you can't open a business and nail gold particles into the horses' hoofs, this method should work."

Zhu Chuanren nodded slightly:
"You can try it, but the best way is this."

As if by magic, he pulled out a water bag and shook it back and forth.

Zhu Kaishan was stunned:
"Sewn into a water bag?"

"Yes! If you make an inner layer, even if the officers and soldiers scratch the outside to check and pour out the water, they won't be able to find gold.

Of course, I don’t think they would do this. After all, we have to walk a long way out, and it will be difficult to walk without water. "

Zhu Kaishan still squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about, and nodded after a long while:
"You can try it. No one has used it before. After all, this water bag is too labor-intensive to make."

"Just renovate it, the question is who can do it!"

Zhu Kaishan thought about it:
"I can give it a try. I'll look into it when I get a water bag."

"That's no problem, Dad. The gold production has decreased in recent days, which means that the gold we have found is washed down from the upstream. The real gold mine should be in Wudaogou!"

Zhu Kaishan nodded:
"Yeah, I noticed that too."

"The reason why I was able to find so much while others couldn't is because I am strong and can find deeper layers of sand. These golden lumps must have been washed down for a long time and were gradually covered by the surface sand."

He had made guesses before, but because there was no evidence, he only confirmed his analysis after several days of experiments.

That night, Zhu Kaishan went to the pub to get drunk. The big black girl and Lao Guozi stood behind the counter and looked at Zhu Kaishan silently.

After a long time, the big black girl came over, took Zhu Kaishan's wine glass and took a big sip.

Zhu Kaishan looked at the big black girl drunkenly:

"You want to drink? Lao Guozi, boil another pot, and the landlady and I will have a good drink."

Lao Guozi smiled and brought the wine over.
