Chapter 6

Ma'er said angrily: "Damn ghost, we found the golden toad, but now they mined it!"

Lao Fei interjected: "It's all the work of that black-hearted bastard Jin Dali! I think we'll go and burn his house down, and let Brother Cheng vent his anger first!"

Cheng Da laughed and said: "You burn his house today, and he will build another one tomorrow. It's useless. The golden toad belongs to us, and taking it back will be a real vent! Xiao Ji went to Jinhad Island to open a mine. , Let him talk about the mine."

Xiao Ji picked up a stone, drew on the ground and said, "This island is very strictly guarded by ghosts. This is a mining area, and there are guards on three sides. The east side is the beach. Ghosts don't believe that anyone can come up to it." .Two watchtowers were built, and there was only one road from the station to the mining area, and the guards led them to work. The rest of the place was full of landmines, and the ghosts even raised dogs.”

When Xiao Ji said this, everyone had embarrassment on their faces.

Liu Mudu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Cheng Da, you are younger than us, but you are the leader, and the big guys listen to you. It is not a trivial matter to rob the gold mine of HSBC Bank, and several of us lost our lives." It's nothing, you can't breathe like this."

Cheng Da said: "This is not a matter of venting your anger. The gold mine has been taken away by others. We are sorry for the dead brother and ourselves. If you believe in me, just listen to me. If you are afraid, you will not be afraid. Walk."

Liu Mudu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Our last money—"

Xiao Ji interrupted him and said: "Listen to Cheng Da, the golden toad is not for ghosts, but for us."

Liu Mudu bowed his head and remained silent.

Cheng Da said: "I have inquired repeatedly. In April, there is sea fog, and when there is fog, even the ghost guards dare not take half a step. We are afraid of landmines, and they are also afraid. Let's make a big detour and take advantage of the sea. Fog, coming ashore from the east, the warehouse is built next to the mining area, and the gold mine has not been consigned to Kuala Lumpur until now, after entering the warehouse, you can take as much as you can, with gold in hand, there are all kinds of methods.”

Everyone looked at each other hesitantly, no one said a word, it took a long time to grit their teeth and nod: "Damn it!"

They found a wooden boat and sailed towards Jinchan Island in the wind and waves.When it was about to approach Jinchan Island, a huge wave suddenly hit, the wooden boat was smashed to pieces, five people fell into the sea, and finally climbed ashore.Laughing is the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and crying is that their ship has been smashed to pieces long ago, and all the tools and nothing are left.

The five people found a rock facing the sea and sat down, all of them in a panic.

Xiao Ji smiled wryly and said: "It's all right now, I can't go back, I really can't go back."

Cheng Da and the others remained silent. This is really a troublesome matter.

Ma'er said: "When we meet the ghost, we will say that there is an accident at sea. He will not kill us, will he?"

Lao Fei said disdainfully: "Then what? The ghost won't let us go. He ran all the way here to work as a miner for the ghost again."

Cheng Da shook his head and said, "I won't die!"

Xiao Ji said: "It's better than being dead. If the ghosts know what we are doing, they will beat us to death with whips."

Cheng Da slapped his palms together and said excitedly: "We can find a way to steal the ghost's boat. On the other side of the island, there is a ghost's wharf..."

Before Cheng Da finished speaking, he found that everyone looked at him suspiciously.Cheng Da was stunned for a moment, and was about to continue, when suddenly a person spoke from behind: "What are you doing?" Cheng Da was startled, and turned around to find a very confused Indian Ah San looking at them.

Cheng Da smiled and said, "We... had an accident at sea..."

"What?" Ah San leaned over with a stick in his hands, flaunting his might.

Cheng Da touched a stone on the ground, and said with a smile on his face: "We..." Then he rushed on it quickly, and the stone hit Ah San on the head. Ah San rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground.

Cheng Da took off Ah San's clothes, and said to Ma'er, "Put him on, and you will act as Ah San and escort us into the warehouse."

Everyone clapped their hands and said, "That's a good idea."

Lao Fei asked, "How about the boat?"

Cheng Da thought for a while and said, "You wait for me here, and I will get it."

Ma'er said, "I'll go with you too." He had already put Ah San's clothes on.

Cheng Da nodded, and the two ran towards Guilao's pier.After waiting for a while, the two dragged a boat over. Cheng Da tied the boat and said, "Okay! Let's start to act! Everyone pay attention to safety, and if you get separated, we will meet here."

Everyone nodded solemnly.

From the watchtower, the miners' residence in the distance has already begun to be active.Near the original mine, all the plants are gone, there are criss-cross barbed wire, scaffolding and tools everywhere.

Not far from the mine, there is a reinforced concrete building.

Five people hid in the hut in the watchtower.

Xiao Ji pointed to the building and said to everyone, "That's the warehouse."

Cheng Da nodded.After waiting for a while, the sea fog rose up, and it was a vast expanse of whiteness with extremely low visibility. The five people became excited.

The horse stood upright, and everyone walked through the barbed wire under his escort and approached the warehouse.Just as they were opening the warehouse door, two Malay guards came out with their guns slung across their backs. Cheng Da and the others went up and knocked them down without saying a word.Everyone rushed in. There were more than a dozen boxes piled up against the wall in the warehouse. They moved them down and opened the lid. They were full of gold ore with extremely high purity.

Cheng Da ordered: "Take off the belt, and we will take it away! The sea fog will pass in an hour, and if we die, we will die with Jin Zi. God help us, we can't be sorry!"

Ma'er was the first to move the box away, cursing: "I pushed the gold into the sea, but I can't give it to the ghost!"

Five people, each dragged three boxes, and they were stupid when they came out. There was a large flat land outside, and there was no excuse.Moreover, the sea fog has thinned significantly, and the landmine marks inserted in the open space can be seen.

Cheng Da said: "Get down! Let's crawl over! The landmine will not explode if it is not crushed enough! It is better than being bitten to death by a dog."

Cheng Da was the first to get down on the ground and stick it in a big shape. Everyone looked at him and disappeared into the fog. The three boxes he was dragging with his belt were also pulled away.

One by one, everyone followed his example, crawling completely on their knees in the fog, crawling forward frightenedly under the signs of the mines.

Once in the minefield, there was a vast white mist, and no one could see anyone.Cheng Da's face was covered with sweat, and he suddenly felt windy and breathing.As soon as he raised his head, a huge dog's mouth bit down towards his throat.Cheng Da stretched out his arm to block it, and the dog took his arm and dragged it a long way.Cheng Da turned over and pressed the dog under his body. He and the dog struggled and fought, his face and body were bitten all over.At this time, a figure came over and strangled the dog's neck. Cheng Da raised his head and found that it was a horse.The horse strangled the dog's neck and pointed forward: "There is a road ahead!" The dog struggled hard, and the horse was led to a somersault and rolled over to the nearby mines. With a bang, the horse and dog exploded into flakes, and Cheng Da's face and body were spattered with blood.The guards yelled loudly when they heard the explosion, but they dared not come over and fired their guns indiscriminately.The bullet "swish" past Cheng Da's scalp, shocking.

Not caring so much anymore, Cheng Da continued to crawl forward with his head covered in sweat. He could no longer distinguish whether it was other people's blood or his own blood. The belt of the case.

After going through untold hardships, Cheng Da and the others dragged the gold to the shore before the sea fog cleared.Ma'er and Liu Mudu died, and the remaining three used their last bit of strength to load several boxes onto the boat.

The wooden boat is getting farther and farther away from Golden Toad Island.The sun came out, and the wooden box was shining with gold, and the golden light illuminated their faces.

This is the whole process of Cheng's first fortune. This kind of story is not unique in the legend of the Nanyang world, but Cheng Da is luckier than others.Fate often takes people to unknown places, like a ship on the sea, when it reaches the top of the wave, it will also fall to the bottom.To survive, in addition to luck, there is also courage.Everyone who tells the history of Cheng's enterprise will emphasize this point. In their eyes, Cheng Da is a person who doesn't know what to be afraid of.He has never compromised with difficulties, and the problem of fate can finally be resolved.After this incident, the great covenant was born.

The gold ore in the box was moved out and neatly divided into three parts.The sand on the edge of the island is fragrant, and Cheng Da, Xiao Ji, and Lao Fei are kneeling by the sea.

Cheng Da said reverently: "God of the sea, the three of us swear together that we are not thieves who steal gold. All the money here is for the Chinese people who are angry with ghosts. The three of us will each share a share. Make good use of this batch of gold, let money make money, money rolls money, give to those Chinese who died and suffered here, support their families, take care of the living poor, and those who dare to embezzle and embezzle this property Human beings will not die well, and the heaven, earth, gods and spirits will learn from each other."

After Cheng Da finished speaking, he kowtowed, and Xiao Ji and Lao Fei followed suit.This is their great covenant to care for the Chinese all over the world.

Then Xiao Ji said excitedly: "I'm going to Dongyang, and I heard that the people there look the same as us."

Lao Fei also said enthusiastically: "Isn't there still San Francisco in the United States? You should take the money and hire someone to dig it out! I have many fellow villagers there. In the future, the money can be used to help them or help them Make a fortune."

Cheng Da nodded and said, "We crawled out of the landmines together. If we die, we will die a hundred times. If we don't die today, it is God who asked us to do good deeds. After the poisonous curse has been cast, everyone must abide by it." My mother said, people who suddenly get a lot of money will suffer retribution, so be careful."

Xiao Ji asked him, "Brother Cheng, where are you going?"

Cheng Da smiled at himself and touched his face: "My work in Kuala Lumpur is not over, so let's go our separate ways. You will hear my name Cheng Da one day."

Lao Fei said: "The three of us advance and retreat together. Since everyone regards you as the eldest brother, as long as you want to use the money in our hands, you can just ask someone to send a letter. This is also our agreement."

The hands of the three were tightly held together, and they were separated from each other from now on.

8.come back with hatred

A year passed in the blink of an eye.On this day, the streets of Kuala Lumpur became lively, and a carriage passed through the streets imposingly.The carriage is brand new, with bright copper work.Followed by porters, well-dressed, lined up.It aroused the admiration of passers-by.

The carriage stopped at the intersection, and a young man who was accompanying him walked up to the window of the carriage, heard a few words from the people inside, bowed his head and nodded, and walked all the way into the noodle tea shop, the noodle tea drinker looked at him carefully .

The boy went all the way to the old man who wrote the family letter, and said briskly, "Our master invites you to come over to the house at night, and I will ask you if there is anything to do."

The old man was flattered and nodded tremblingly: "May I ask your master Gao's name?"

The boy turned his head and left, ignoring him, his style was greater than anyone else.

It was not until the carriage and the porters had passed that the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a lot of discussion immediately.

"I heard that this is a newly rich man from London."

"Say it's a Chinese."

"Brother, don't daydream, the princes of the Qing Dynasty are not so rich, right?"

The carriage didn't stop until it reached the HSBC Bank, and the manager and assistants of the bank stood at the door to greet him.

A man with a tall hat, a cane, glasses, and a small beard got out of the car.He was Cheng Da who had disappeared for a year, but he seemed to be plausible, his temperament changed drastically, and even the scar on his face revealed a lazy and nonchalant expression.

The manager bowed and said, "Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Da ignored him and walked all the way in.

A dozen or so people carrying suitcases followed in.

Cheng Da was praised like a god by everyone, and he sat on the sofa with a big face.Someone brought up the coffee, Cheng Da took a sip, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and spat on it.

Cheng Da shook his head and asked impatiently, "Who is the manager?"

The manager quickly took a step forward, "I am, Mr. Cheng, please tell me."

Cheng Da said: "There are more than 600 million pounds in cash outside, please save it. I don't worry about putting it in other places."

The manager waved his hand, and the assistant trotted out to do it.

The manager sat diagonally across from Cheng Da, and smiled contemptuously: "Mr. Cheng, we heard that you are from London. I don't know what kind of business you are in? You trust HSBC so much. Is this money going to be released, or is it going to be released?" Looking for investment projects nearby?"

Cheng Da stared at him sharply, and asked lazily, "Oh? Is there any good business in Kuala Lumpur?"

The manager replied: "It's nothing more than investing in gold mines. HSBC has controlling shares in several of the largest gold mines in Malaysia. If Mr. Cheng is willing..."

Cheng Da interrupted him: "It's still a gold mine? Didn't HSBC's gold mine have a big accident?"

The manager's expression changed, and he wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "That was a year ago. HSBC and a Chinese company who found a new gold mine worked hard for a long time, and the gold was actually stolen. , Some people also said that it was the golden toad who got angry and sent the kid to transport the gold away, you think it's funny or not."

Cheng Da nodded and said calmly: "Let's save the money first. I'm not very interested in gold mines. I want to buy some land in Kuala Lumpur. Let's talk about it slowly."

The manager quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, sir's residence is settled now? HSBC Bank has several sets of garden houses specially prepared for VIPs. If you don't mind, sir, choose a big one to see?"

Cheng Da nodded slowly, and said something irrelevant: "It's time for HSBC to change the coffee."

The manager just apologized.

After leaving HSBC, Cheng Da didn't take a car. He walked on the street with a group of followers.It's been a year, nothing has changed here, everything is still so familiar.He smiled wryly, yes, nothing had changed, but he himself had.So many ordeals have changed him beyond recognition, both physically and psychologically.

Cheng Dabai was walking on the street boredly, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and Jin Dali and Xiao Jin walked over from the opposite side.Cheng Da's heart trembled slightly. After not seeing him for a year, Xiao Jin became more mature, beautiful and generous.She was dressed in white, like an angel descending, even though Cheng Da's heart was as calm as water, there would be ripples.

Cheng Da walked in front of them calmly, smiled at Xiao Jin, pulled the brim of his hat, and greeted like a gentleman.Xiao Jin was startled, and then smiled back, feeling that this person was so familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Cheng Da didn't say anything and walked past them.

Jin Dali has seen their every move. Jin Dali knows that this man is a dignitary, so how could he let go of this opportunity to make friends?After Cheng Da walked over, he quickly asked Xiao Jin, "How did you two know each other?"

Xiao Jin thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Father! I don't know him."

Jin Dali is an old and cunning master. He knows that his daughter is beautiful. , please stay!" He caught up with Cheng Da, smiled all over his face, flattered him and said, "My lord, Jin Dali, if you have time, please come to the humble house for a talk, you and my daughter are very welcome." Jin Dali has completely failed to recognize this Cheng Dale, who was killed by him in the past.

Cheng Da didn't look at him directly, but looked back at Xiao Jin, who was also looking at him not far away, and they looked at each other and smiled, as if they knew each other a long time ago.

Cheng Da looked at Jin Dali with disdain, and said politely: "Okay! It's a great honor." He was originally looking for Jin Dali when he returned to Kuala Lumpur this time, but he didn't expect him to find him so soon. It really saved him A lot of work.

Jin Dali enthusiastically welcomed Cheng Da in. Xiao Jin was sitting awkwardly in the living room. When he saw Cheng Da, he quickly bowed his head and stood up.Jin Dali took Cheng Da's hat, and pretended to be enthusiastic and said to Xiao Jin: "Xiao Jin, you forgot to greet Mr. Cheng?" Xiao Jin lowered his head embarrassedly.
