Liu Nannan didn't expect that the people who occupied the gold mine would be willing to share the food with the town, and couldn't help but be stunned: "And us? ”

Zhang Wei pointed up with his hand and said lazily, "Yes." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he wants the old man to recruit people to open mines, and exchange gold and people from the Qinghu Chamber of Commerce for food, goods, copper and iron in the customs. That's a good idea. But why don't I understand, what is he looking for your cousin? He rubbed his eyes and shook his body on the recliner, and after some consideration, he suddenly looked at Liu Nannan and said, "Although I haven't seen Gou Wangzi (bangs) for many years, I also know who he is." He won't mess with Kwa Xiao Yezhang for no reason. You must be hiding something from me. ”

Liu Nannan was startled, and hurriedly laughed and said, "No, no." How dare I? Didn't you want to pick him up and ask?! I know that Uncle values him, so I'm here to tell you about it! ”

Zhang Wei believed it.

He saw that the maid had brought the milk cup beside him, and as soon as he raised his sleeve slightly, he held it in his hand, and after moistening his fingers with a solemn expression, he drank it all. Liu Nannan waited with a blank eye, just trying to transfer some people from the town, so as not to lose his face, until he heard him say "find someone first".

After Liu Nannan found Zhang Wei and left with the people to pick up Liu Hai after going to Mutong'a Cottage, several men were still gathering at Liu Hai's door to discuss.

They came to Hua Qian'er to inquire about it, as if they wanted to find some clues before they would stop. How could Hua Qian'er explain clearly, so she had to pinch her head and go to the end, and repeat the events of the night to them.

By the time she had finished dealing with the men, it was already noon.

At this time, the groggy Mama Zhao had already woken up from sleeping with Ah Xue in her arms, and asked for water in a little daze. Hua Qian'er went to the firewood room to scoop mutton soup, and saw Zheng Yanru, who was talking to people in the courtyard, hurriedly walked out, shouted and asked, only then did she know that it was Liu Hai and they came back, and she was happy at the moment, scooped up the soup and went back to the house, and told the news to Mama Zhao.

Mama Zhao came to the spirit, got up and went outside to wait: "Now we are also relieved!" He must go to the turtledove's house first, and return home soon. ”

When they went to the door and waited, they saw five or six men with dried blood dismounting and entering the courtyard wall, and one of them grabbed a bucket of water from the well, scooped it with a scoop and poured it on his head, and they could not help but be afraid.

Shan Dahu, who was injured in the arm, saw Mama Zhao at a glance, walked to her in three steps and two steps, called "Auntie", and roared madly in front of her: "These ungrateful dog mongrels not only attacked us when we went to see the mines, but also touched the town to kill people. This revenge is not revenge! ”

Mama Zhao couldn't see Liu Hai and Ban Lie, and hurriedly asked. After confirming that they were going to see Ban Jiu, she was relieved, and then she remembered Hua Qian'er's vision, looked back at Hua Qian'er, and cried in a low voice: "How can you see it so accurately?!" ”

Hua Qian'er persuaded her left and right.

The good tiger didn't know how to be good, and only repeatedly promised to take back even Mama Zhao's revenge.

After a while, Bang Hai came back with Ban Lie, whose eyes were red, followed by Zheng Yanru who was trotting. The good big tiger didn't greet him to speak, and took advantage of the fact that a few men were leaving, occupied the well, drew a blunt knife and wiped it with his sleeve, and the stone grinded to a "Huohuo" sound, and at first glance, it was ready to turn back and kill people.

Liu Hai hugged Liu Axiao who ran to him, asked about Mama Zhao's injury, and asked Hua Qian'er to help her in. When there were only men left in the courtyard, he took a sharp breath and silently glanced at the crowd, sending them back to rest.

Shandahu refused, seeing that others were leaving, he pulled one back, and said to the bangs: "Big brother! Take the people and go back and avenge them! ”

Liu Hai hesitated for a moment, and saw that the man who was trying to break free from the good tiger walked away, so he had to promise the good big tiger and said, "I will." But not now. ”

After saying this, he went into the house and sat down on the floor.

Subsequently, the good tiger also chased in. Hua Qian'er was sent by Mama Zhao to take Ah Xue and go to the back room with her, but she could vaguely hear their conversation.

Ban Lie complained in a heavy tone: "Nantang, I didn't let you open the mine a long time ago, and you didn't listen. Is it easy to get revenge now? It's not that I fought horse thieves two years ago, I hated it to the bones, and the town sent troops to be brave. Once friends and relatives are gathered. People won't say that if you want to open a mine, it will cost us our lives. ”

Liu Hai sighed deeply and nodded in approval of Ban Lie's words.

Shan Dahu was unrelenting, shouting: "Ma Tianfu died in front of your eyes, and Cai Damao's life and death are unknown." Look at it, the bodies of the two people outside haven't been collected yet, but one is your own brother? It's not a matter of whether the mine can be opened or not, it's the ingratita people?! Whoever doesn't go, I'll turn his face on him. ”

Ban Lie looked at him for a while, and directly calculated: "The turtledove is dead, and the people of my family have nothing to say." With my eldest son, there are no more than eight men in all. Your family, I don't think you can be the master, even if you agree to do something good, add four men, and it will only be eleven. Okay, let's add a few Ma Tianfu brothers and double it. See? At most, you can only make up a few dozen. What to take revenge?! ”

Shan Dahu didn't believe his account, and said angrily: "Count, there are at least a thousand men in our hundreds of households." The third child will bring a few hundred more people and destroy their Ningguta race. I don't believe it, we can't get revenge! ”

Ban Lie said coldly: "There should be a thousand people!" But if you really gather the hundreds of households, before the battle starts, Old Man Zhang He will stew us. Where have they gone? You might as well find Lao Qianhu, who knows where the captain is lying down?! ”

"Vengeance is for revenge." Seeing that they were fighting for fire, Bang Hai interrupted them and said, "Find a decent shaman first, and bury the two pandoves properly." I hope they will know and see the day when we avenge them. ”

"I'm going to find someone anyway!" The good tiger stood up and roared loudly, and left without slapping his ass.

Ban Lie ate the mutton cooked by the slave girl before leaving.

Before leaving, he advised: "Revenge is not trivial, don't come forward!" A few of us came out to talk, and we didn't let them think that we were going to grab mines. ”

Bangs sat in a heavy mood and drank a lot of wine unconsciously. Sensing that someone was coming, he raised his head, and when he saw that Hua Qian'er was standing quietly, he asked her to sit opposite him. Hua Qian'er seemed to understand his pain, took the initiative to take the lamp, wrote him a cup, and by the way, talked about the night situation, and reminded him about the "touchstone" and "mole".

To her surprise, the bangs were not surprised at all, and only said lightly: "I know." ”

Hua Qian'er tucked her hands under her legs and asked cautiously, "Can you tell me what's going on?" Everyone in the family is worried. ”

Liu Hai had nothing to hide, so he said: "Last spring, the old man Fengfutu from Mutong Azhai came to me with his disciples and son, took a piece of dog's head gold (natural gold) for me to identify, and asked me if it was copper. In fact, I had known that there was a gold mine on the north side of their stockade, and when I saw that he was overjoyed, and could not bear to lie to him, I told him that it was gold. ”

Hua Qian'er asked strangely: "He thinks it's copper, so he's ecstatic?" ”

Bangs nodded: "That's right!" Gold is far less important to the Ninguta people than copper. If they were able to smelt bronze themselves, they would not have to replace the cattle and sheep they had worked so hard to raise for copper and iron. ”

"And then? You're going to mine there? Hua Qian'er asked.

Bangs shook his head and said, "At that time, I was disappointed to see him. And they told him that gold was worth much more than copper. After he went back, he told the truth to Kwaka Xiao Yezhang. Kwa Xiao Yezhang knew the value of gold, and wanted to open a mine, so he asked the old man Fengfutu to come to me.

"There are sand mines in gold mines, and there are rock mines. Rock mines are difficult to mine, and even if they are placed in the mines of the Central Plains, there are few large-scale gold withdrawals. There was such a thing in the last years of Xiding, when the treasury was empty, and the imperial court urgently needed to open mines to make up for it, and once used 80,000 people to open rock mines, but at the end of the year, only eight taels of gold were obtained. The gold mines in Mutong Azhai are rock mines. I had no choice but to melt the gold for him, explain it to him, and explain how to get the gold.

"He thought I could mine and said, 'Can't you help us open it?' Half of us on one side. I wanted to open a mine too, so I agreed. For this reason, last year, I entered the customs to contact the mining master of the Central Plains, and lived in Beizhou alone for more than a month, waiting until I got permission from the imperial court. ”

"When they came back, they repented? What ingratitude! Hua Qian'er said indignantly.

Liu Hai said: "Kuaxiao Yezhang boasted everywhere that he had gold mines there, gave grain to the town, asked for horses, and got a lot of weapons, cloth, and tea from the Qinghu Chamber of Commerce.

"Let's not talk about it in town. The Qinghu Chamber of Commerce is jointly founded by the Dugu family and the people of the Central Plains in Mata Town, and there is no reason why they don't want to get involved in the gold mine. Kwa Xiao Yezhang couldn't afford to offend, but agreed to open a mine from the three parties, and by the way, he eliminated me.

"No! When the old man felt sorry for me, he sent me and asked me to go with him to the front of Kwaxiao Yezhang and say, 'Go ahead.' But only he had the gems that could identify gold and stone, which were given by immortality. ’

"Kwa Xiao Yezhang can't offend me on the surface. Secretly, while I was looking at the mines, they surrounded me on the hill and demanded that I hand over the stones. I was prepared and went out with my brothers, and it was only yesterday that I shook off their pursuit. On the way, one brother died and another went missing.

"So, I'm not surprised that they know the 'touchstone,' nor what you call a 'mole.'"

Hua Qian'er kept writing wine to him, and watched him gobble up with pity, until he stopped wiping his mouth, and then asked again: "You say, is there really a 'touchstone' in the world to identify gold and stone?" ”

Bangs smiled, got up and took her to the southeast house.

This is a study, which is not as fancy as Dr. Nakahara's, but it contains not too few things. On one shelf there are boxes of books thicker than a human head, many books worn with leather threads, many cowhide rolls and bamboo slips, while the other is cow tendons, metal, weapons, wood roots, and the like. Hua Qian'er unconsciously returned to her childhood when she went to her father's study to play, this is the scholar's study.

She hardly dared to go deeper, and stood by the door for a long time, her heart gradually filled with the smell of books, lime, and spices, and she couldn't help but feel jealousy, reverence, and other emotions.

In the open space leading to the center of the shelf, there is a large case for people to read, enough for several people.

The traces of preservation are two places, one large and one small, the small place is a pile of rope end cloth, while the large place is neatly placed with pen and ink and awls for binding paper. Paying attention to it for a moment, she seemed to see how Abba spent his years with his son: Abba sat there reading, and his son played quietly on the side, throwing a feather and making a face to disturb from time to time. On the side of the door of the case was a large urn with a thin belly, very close to her. There was a wooden arrow mixed with the scroll inside, and a wooden stick was picked out, on which was glued paper, and a picture of what looked like a bird was drawn, and there were ink marks touched by the child's fingers next to it, and the word "Dawu" was written.

Thinking of Liu Qi's name, Hua Qian'er easily knew that it was a typo for "Wu".

She involuntarily walked to the urn, and after hesitating to see what to take, she first picked up the arrow and pulled it out to see. I saw that the cangwen on it had been worn, but the two blue characters of "Xiahou" carved on the seal were still shining, as if retaining the eight-sided majesty when the master sat in the army and threw it out casually, she suddenly thought in her heart: This is a real arrow, not a child's toy.

Hearing Liu Hai turn around and call her, she panicked, stuffed back the arrow in her hand, and said embarrassedly: "I thought it was Liu Qi's toy." ”

"It's his toy. He was the only one who took the sword and played around. Bangs said.

He had pinched a black stone and walked to Hua Qian'er, and handed it to her. Hua Qian'er's eyes widened, staring at the bland black stone, and even felt that the gray pattern was also hidden in the mystery, for fear that it would fly away from her eyes for no reason. After Liu Hai drunk, he couldn't see Yan Yanran when she opened her mouth, so she couldn't help but put the stone in her palm and asked softly, "I'll give it to you, okay?" ”

"Give it to me?" Hua Qian'er was suddenly in a mess, her cheeks were crimson, and she stammered, "But what do I want it for?" ”

Bangs pinched her soft wattle in his hand, and felt her orchid-like breath spray on his face, his heart pounded, he took a breath at the moment, but after calming down the wine, he knew that his face was hot, so he turned around to cover it up, and said: "It's worthless, it's hard to find, it depends on how you look at it." ”

Hua Qian'er held this treasure that was slightly different from the usual stone, and could clearly feel the difference between it and other stones, and when she heard the bangs spit out "worthless", her chest suddenly became hot. Suddenly, she became bold, desperately hugged from behind, and forgot to shout: "What I want is you!" ”

The bangs couldn't hold back any longer. He untied the hands that were still holding the black stone, turned around and took Hua Qian'er into his arms, and wrapped her delicate body back and forth with his thick palms, not realizing whether he could wrap it, but said softly: "I fell in love with you at first sight." ”

Hua Qian'er hugged his neck with both hands, tiptoed to offer her lips, and soon burst into tears...... A litmus test.

The two lingered for a long time, and they did not separate until they heard panicked footsteps outside the door.

As soon as I turned around, I heard Zheng Yanru shouting anxiously: "Brother, there are many soldiers outside, and they keep saying that they want to arrest you." Hurry up and walk through the window and hide in the prairie for a while! ”

Liu Hai immediately thought that it was not the collusion between Kwa Xiao Bao and Zhang's family, taking people, forcing stones, laughing inappropriately, and striding out. Hua Qian'er snorted disdainfully when she heard it, afraid that this was his drunken and reckless move, so she pulled on his clothes and discouraged her: "I must be here to ask for a 'touchstone', you should avoid it first." Even if you hand it in, you have to think of a foolproof plan. ”

Seeing that she was nervous, Liu Hai thought of this layer calmly and extraordinarily, his heart was warm, and he turned around and whispered in her ear: "After I am arrested, it is no longer up to me whether to hand me over or not." If you don't want to hurt me, you can't tell anyone, and you can't just hand it over! (To be continued.) )
