Chapter 330 Wang Laowu

"What's your name?"

"Boss Wang."

"Where are you from?"

"Shandong Province."

"Where in Shandong Province?"

"Longkou."

"Do you know He Laosi?"

"No."

"Next."

Before opening his eyes, an impatient voice asked, an unconfident voice answered, and then repeated the question and answer. There was still a small buzz around, but because of the space, it gathered together to make an annoying noise.

Wang Yan looked around, dozens of people were standing in a circle in a dense circle, and there was a louder noise outside than inside the house. There must be more than a hundred people inside and outside the house.

Everyone in the room was wearing thick and bloated clothes and wearing large fur hats. Looking at the backs of those people, they all had long braids. Wang Yan looked down at himself, dressed in a similar way, also bloated coats, fur hats, and the shoes on his feet could also feel soft, comfortable and warm. He couldn't help but lift his hat, touching the short hair in the front and long hair in the back, and then he reached out to touch the braid on his back, then he sighed and put on the hat again.

His current head shape, the hair in the back is like in the movie, and the front is slightly longer than the crew cut. After all, hair will grow long, how can poor people shave it for no reason.

Although he didn't care about the shape of his head, and it was the end of the Qing Dynasty, not the money rat tail like before, but the yin-yang head, showing a big forehead is always uncomfortable. But it is obvious that living under someone's hands, you have to obey. He is not a Taoist priest, nor a monk, there is no way to escape. Fortunately, he knows that there are still seven years to end...

After confirming that it is safe and no one is paying attention, Wang Yan began to receive identity information.

Wang Yan, 29 years old, lives in Fangniugou, Yuanbao Town. His parents died one after another when he was 20 years old, leaving him a lot of property. But because of gambling and lust, he only has ten acres of land and a dilapidated house next to the land. While losing money, he also lost his character. No girl was willing to marry him, and he has been single until now. This time he turned over a new leaf, went to Laojingou to seek wealth, and went back to live a peaceful life.

The time is now mid-January 2005. Of course, this date is the lunar calendar, and it should be mid-February in the solar calendar, not long after the Chinese New Year.

This arrangement is quite unexpected. He thought he might have to be a junior to Zhu Kaishan, but he didn't expect that his age is not much different from Zhu Kaishan. In addition, if he went directly to Laojingou, he would be powerless to do anything about what happened at the same time, such as Tan Xianer, who was displaced and had a miserable fate. Of course, even if he was not taken to Laojingou and was left outside, he might not be able to find her for a while. That's his fate, so let it be. Besides, there are too many miserable people these days, and there are many more miserable than Tan Xianer.

With such kung fu skills, after the provocative episode of the big gold grain in the play who used a knife to open his thigh muscle to hide the gold, he has already pointed out Zhu Kaishan who pretends to be an honest man.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Zhu Laosan."

...

After some probing, Zhu Kaishan successfully coped with it and walked to the side, staring gloomily at Wang Yan who was standing at the back.

Wang Yan knew why, but didn't care. He smiled and nodded at Zhu Kaishan. Huo Di arranged everything and settled directly in Fangniugou. Zhu Kaishan was also there, but he lived a little further away from the east end of the village, while Zhu Kaishan was the first family in the west end of the village. To go to the town, you have to pass by their door.

It has been four years since the Gengzi Year, that is, the end of the incident in 2000. Although Wang Yan lives far away, there are always times to meet each other. I have seen him several times over the years. Although Zhu Kaishan is usually low-key, his account number is also known there, which is considered to be well-known.

Zhu Kaishan knew that Wang Yan knew his name, and was worried that it would be exposed and ruin the whole thing, so he threatened Wang Yan with a murderous look. Although it was crowded and noisy, Wang Yan should have heard "Zhu Laosan". If he really didn't know what was good for him, Zhu Kaishan was ready, and he would definitely not be able to escape, but he had to kill Wang Yan first before that, otherwise he would die with regret.

When Zhu Kaishan was fully focused and ready to strike a fatal blow at any time, the team quickly lined up to Wang Yan.

The low-level official wearing a warm hat and a mink coat looked impatiently at the man in front of him who was curiously looking around and was obviously a green hand for the first time: "What's your name?"

"Wang Laowu."

Wang Laowu? Hearing this name, Zhu Kaishan, who was standing not far away, secretly pulled the corner of his mouth. This kid is pretty interesting.

Thinking of this, his tense body relaxed and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He naturally knew that Wang Yan's name was Wang Yan. Now that he heard Wang Laowu, he understood that Wang Yan didn't want to pick him, so he temporarily put his mind at ease.

"Where are you from?"

"Yuanbao Town." Wang Yan added considerately: "My hometown is also Yuanbao Town. I don't know He Laosi either. This is the first time I heard of him."

"Did I ask you? You're talking too much." The man patted the table to increase his deterrence and stared: "They are all from Yuanbao Town. Do you know that Zhu Laosan?"

Wang Yan calmly looked at the man's fierce eyes: "I know him. We are from the same village. He lives in the west end of the village and I live in the east end of the village."

The man lowered his head and ticked a line on the list, and said without raising his head: "Next."

Hearing this, Wang Yan turned around and walked to Zhu Kaishan and stood beside him, saying hello: "Brother Zhu."

"Yeah." Zhu Kaishan nodded and asked: "Why are you here too? I remember you live a very comfortable life."

Laojingou is big or small. In the early years, tens of thousands of people were digging for gold here. Even if it falls now, there are still hundreds of people, and the team is so long that you can't even notice it before and after.

"Scold me?" Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Isn't it that all the family's belongings have been gambled away? There are only ten acres of thin farmland left, a dilapidated house, and the eldest brother has no wife. A while ago, my parents had a dream and said I can't continue to fool around, let me find a mother-in-law to have a baby quickly, and I can't close the family. Otherwise, they won't let me go when I get down. Besides, it doesn't mean that I just win or lose. Why don't you just go to Laojingou to hunt for gold, and think about making a fortune? Go back and spend a few days, and find an introduction to the matchmaker in the town. This wife and children will be on the bed, and you will be satisfied. "

Although he was dismissive of what he said for a while, after all, not everyone could take him out, but after a brief exchange of words, Zhu Kaishan patted Wang Yan's arm with a smile: "The prodigal son will not be able to exchange for gold when he comes back, just live a good life. "

There were many people here, and neither of them spoke anymore, but after that, Zhu Kaishan would definitely find an opportunity to explain why he was called Zhu Laosan.

After a long time, everyone's names were called, and the official said loudly: "Okay, everyone is registered. From now on, you will work diligently to dig for gold to ensure that you all get rich. You must obey the rules and don't make trouble. You are here. Everything is up to Jinda, he is your boss."

Dana Jin bowed to the official, then turned around and stood up straight, holding hands in all directions: "Thank you for your respect, brothers. I also hope that you will cooperate more in the future. This is Chief Jin, let him lead everyone to settle down first. Come down."

Jin on the other side cupped his head in his hands and said, "Everyone, go out. I'll take you to where you live. We'll clean up tomorrow."

I didn't say any useless words, after all, the people in the government were still watching, and trying to show off in front of others was just asking for death. Moreover, their deterrence comes not from their pretense, but from the support of the government and surrounding bandits, which gives them the confidence to boss around and make a lot of money.

This place is in the north of Heilongjiang, and the current climate conditions are worse than a hundred years ago, and the weather is cold. As soon as he went out, there was a biting cold wind on the shop floor, and his breath was cold. Wang Yan squinted and looked at the surroundings.

In the distance are the snow-covered white mountains, faintly visible, with a few evergreen plants glowing with dots of green in the vast white. In front of you, surrounded by several mountains, is a frozen river. There are several decayed wooden buildings scattered on the plains on both sides, which look quite impressive.

As Wang Yan and Zhu Kaishan came from the same place, they naturally acted together. The two of them carried their luggage and mixed in with the crowd. They followed the crowd to several large wooden houses not far apart, where they lived.

Following Zhu Kaishan, the two found a large kang in the corner of a large wooden house and chose adjacent bunks to make beds. The same goes for the other people, they are all rough old men, they don't know each other, they just talked about it in a few words, and the conversation was lively.

After packing his things, Zhu Kaishan was about to take Wang Yan out to explain his words clearly when a loud voice sounded.

"From today on, we are a gang. You all have to listen to me! There won't be much trouble in the past few days. They have all been fattened up by me. When the river opens, we will work hard."

The two of them turned their heads when they heard the sound. It was Da Jinli who was sitting on the table and said arrogantly that he wanted to be the big brother.

This kind of character cannot be said to be good or bad. It is better to die early, but if no one objects, it can really stand. Although it is all bitterness, there is oppression everywhere and there are perpetrators everywhere. If you become the king of Kuhaha, you can also show off your authority, gain a certain degree of privileges, and receive great psychological satisfaction.

The older man on the side said, "Wouldn't that suffocate everyone to death?"

"Are you bored?" Da Jinli had a look on his face that I already knew: "If you're bored, you can go have a drink. There will be a theater troupe and storytellers coming in two days. You can go and have a look."

Hearing this, everyone cheered. After all, watching theater and listening to books are free of charge. These pastimes are usually rare in these days.

Da Jinli snorted without meaning, probably laughing at the others' ignorance. He turned his head and glanced at Zhu Kaishan, who was standing with Wang Yan. He became upset when he thought of the push he had received before, and immediately raised his voice to call someone. : "Zhu Laosan?"

Zhu Kaishan sighed.

"come here!"

Zhu Kaishan didn't want to cause trouble and expose himself, so he took two steps forward without thinking and said politely: "Boss, what are your orders?"

Da Jinli reached out and took off his shoes, untied the smelly foot wrap and placed it in front of Zhu Kaishan: "Take my foot wrap, shake it, shake it, it's all fucking sand."

This scene is quite interesting. Normally, Wang Yan would just watch the excitement. But now if he wants to recognize his eldest brother, he has to have a good relationship with Zhu Kaishan. It's best to cut off the chicken's head and worship him. Of course, he can't just stand aside and watch.

"What the fuck, this little brat with barely even hair growing up, is trying to act like someone else? What kind of brat can stand on our brothers' heads and shit and pee?" As he spoke, Wang Yan strode forward and stood in front of Zhu Kaishan. With a look of surprise, she dodged Duo's obstruction, stretched out her hand to grab Da Jinli's neck and threw her directly to the ground, rolling around several times before stopping.

Of course he had to hold back his hand, otherwise with his strength, he would just swing it up and smash it on the ground, and this little chicken would meet the Lord of Hell.

Xiao Jinli, who was sitting on one side, saw his elder brother being bullied, so he didn't say anything and quietly moved back. On the one hand, he was not very satisfied with his eldest brother being so arrogant. On the other hand, he had small arms and legs, so he couldn't stand a beating, so it was his eldest brother who resisted the beating.

Da Jinli, who had high hopes from his own brother, lay on the ground, shook his head, spit out the dirt in his mouth, looked at the joking eyes around him, stood up and stared fiercely at Wang Yan who was standing there: "Grandma's , I’ll fucking kill you.”

As he spoke, he took out a dagger from his chest and rushed over.

Zhu Kaishan, who was standing behind Wang Yan, subconsciously wanted to step forward and strike with his bare hands, but when he thought of the two times Wang Yan had dodged him just now, he did not make a move and took a step back pretending to be scared. He did not forget to shout: "Don't be impulsive. , don’t be impulsive.”

When an arrow is on the string, it must be fired, and the big golden grain is to establish a prestige. Of course, he didn't want to kill Wang Yan, he just stabbed him once to show his courage to kill with a knife.

His speed was not impressive in front of Wang Yan. He took half a step to the left to avoid the dagger, held Da Jinli's hand with one hand, pressed his head with the other, and hit the table with a clang. .

Da Jin Li screamed in pain and felt like his head was about to be crushed. He struggled, but sadly found that the man was surprisingly strong, and he was unable to resist.

Wang Yan controlled the struggling and howling Da Jinli, raised his head and looked around at everyone present, smiled slightly, and twisted his wrist with his hands. He bent down to suppress his flailing arms, picked up the dagger that fell on the table, and slowly probed the area in front of his eyes.

Da Jinli stopped struggling instantly, and controlled himself not to shiver or urinate. He blinked his eyes and looked at the sharp edge that was only an inch away from him, and shouted loudly: "Grandpa, I'm convinced, I'm really convinced. You A great man doesn't remember the faults of a mean man. The Prime Minister can hold a boat in his belly and let me go. From now on, I, Da Jinli, will look after you and go through fire and water without hesitation."

This is the ancient wisdom of the world, the key to life-saving.

Wang Yan's faint voice sounded: "Really convinced?"

"I'm convinced! I'm a kid and I'm ignorant. Just spare my life."

After patting his face with the dagger, Wang Yan stood up and pierced the dagger on the table: "Invite us both to drink and eat meat. Forget it this time. Your life will really be lost next time."

"Hey, I'll treat you, I'll treat you. I'll make sure there's good wine and meat. Let's go to the shop over there and make sure the two eldest brothers eat well."

"Are you good at raising seniors? You called me grandpa just now, and now you're your younger brother?" Wang Yan slapped him on the back of the head: "Hurry up and put on your foot bindings, and be happy."

Da Jinli smiled awkwardly, quickly wrapped his feet in cloth, and put on his thick cotton shoes. Not caring about the eyes of others at all, he greeted Xiao Jinli, led Wang Yan and Zhu Kaishan, followed by a group of people who wanted to drink, and set off chatting and laughing.

I don't know what the dozens of people in other wooden houses are like, but in the one where Wang Yan and Zhu Kaishan live, among the dozens of people, Wang Yan is not the eldest brother, but no one dares to call him eldest brother.

There is only one place where you can drink, which is the shop on the hillside in the distance. There is a red sign with black letters on the outside saying "wine". The boss is the one in the original drama. His daughter was kidnapped by bandits and he had no choice but to become a spy and betray the news that the gold diggers escaped hiding the gold. He just chatted with Zhu Kaishan when he had nothing to do. He was a big black girl.

Entering inside, Da Jinli bluffed: "Boss lady, bring out all the good wine and food."

The big black girl twisted her hips and welcomed her warmly like an old madam: "Hey, these are all just here today, right? Do you have money in your hand and just eat and drink?"

"Can't we keep accounts if we don't have money? We can't run away. When the river opens in Huichun and the men find big gold, what else can they do for your three melons and two dates? Hurry up, boss lady, come up with something delicious and delicious. "Dajinli doesn't care about that at all. Of course, he is pretending, after all, this is his mother.

After chatting for a few words, the big black girl and the two men began to serve food and wine to each person. The most luxurious one was of course the table of Wang Yan, Zhu Kaishan, and Xiaojinli, with pork head meat, smoked chicken, and peanuts. , small pickles, stir-fried vegetables and stewed fish in the back.

Everyone else is just a slut, just peanuts and drinking wine. They are here to make money, not to enjoy themselves. When mining for gold, it only counts if it can be transported out. With this flower, you have to take it easy at the beginning. After all, most of them are newcomers and have no bottom line. After a while, the problem with this group of people will start to show up. They will drink, gamble and so on, and they will have to take advantage of everything they make in a year. Even if he doesn't play, this place where people gather together cannot resist temptation.

The wine was in a small flask and was served hot. Wang Yan had been drinking wine for so many years, so it would not be surprising.

Da Jinli took the jug and poured the wine, and held the small wine cup in both hands: "Brother Wang, Brother Zhu, today I was ignorant and bumped into the two eldest brothers. I am ignorant, so I offer you a glass of apology to the two eldest brothers. "

Wang Yan smiled and touched Zhu Kaishan, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. This wine is not mass-produced, it is the kind of shochu brewed by oneself. It is made from pure grains and has sufficient alcohol content. Wang Yan felt a little uncomfortable after taking this cold mouthful, and the taste was not very good, but it flowed through the esophagus and reached the boiling temperature in the stomach, which was very refreshing and made his whole body feel warm.

After getting used to it, Wang Yan took a bite of the pork head with chopsticks and said, "Okay, I don't want to do anything to you. Don't cause trouble in the future. Well, hello, me, everyone. Let's eat."

Wang Yan is not a bully. Beating someone up and getting a meal is fine. There is no reason to not let him sit at the table. Although the big black girl and the big and small gold grains are all selling their lives, they are not good people, but that has nothing to do with today's matter, and he "doesn't know", which is very important.

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely be honest in the future." The big gold grain asked: "Brother Wang, have you practiced before? Can you teach me a few tricks?"

Wang Yan smiled and looked at Zhu Kaishan who was staring at him: "I haven't practiced before, I'm just a farmer, I'm just stronger. Fighting or killing, there are only two points, one is speed, the second is strength, and the third is accuracy. Speed ​​and strength complement each other. If you can hit someone, you are a master, and three or five people can't get close to you. Look at you, kid, why are you eating peanuts? Come, eat meat."

Looking at the small gold grain who was catching peanuts, Wang Yan tore a chicken leg and put it in his bowl, ending the topic of whether he had practiced or not.

"Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother." After Xiao Jinli thanked him, he took the chicken leg and ate it in big mouthfuls, as if he had been hungry for three days.

Zhu Kaishan was determined to play dumb, drinking well with that little wine and eating delicious meat.

Wang Yan turned to look at Da Jinli: "You two brothers are not very old, right? Why are you both here to pan for gold? I heard it's quite dangerous, and you didn't say to leave one of you at home to carry on the family line?"

"Not really, I'm eighteen and he's only twelve. But there's nothing I can do. My parents died early, and I'm worried about leaving him at home alone, so I brought him along. Even if I don't do much, I still do a lot. If I'm honest, I can still make some money."

"You don't look like an honest person." Zhu Kaishan shook his head and said, "Today, it's Wang Laowu who stepped forward. If he wasn't there, it would be a good thing for you. There are so many people, do you know who is the ruthless one? This place is really going to kill you, but you'll die in vain."

"Yes, yes, Brother Zhu is right, I will definitely be honest in the future. Come on, two brothers, have a drink."

The three of them drank and listened to Da Jinli's talk. Xiao Jinli on the side also let go and interrupted a few times, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. The dishes were served one after another, fish, rabbit meat, pickled cabbage and so on, quite rich. The taste was just so-so, but on this day, eating so much and drinking strong liquor was comfortable.

But they were comfortable, but others suffered, after all, only their table was delicious, and looking at the simple dishes on their table, the wine was not delicious. In addition, this was the first day, and they had traveled so far, so the few people left, leaving only their table.

Without guests, Dahei girl had nothing to do, and the old woman came up by herself: "You all just arrived, right?"

"This woman's eyes are really sharp, she saw it at once." Da Jinli drank a lot, but he didn't forget to act with all his heart.

"I'm in this business, and I can tell what kind of person he is at a glance." The big black girl sat down next to Zhu Kaishan: "Everyone has left anyway, and I have nothing to do, so I'll drink with you. Don't worry, I won't drink for free, I'll give you a discount."

"That's more like it." Little Jinli muttered, picking up some food and eating. It's true that her mother runs a restaurant, but he can't eat at this table many times a year.

"What are your names?"

"My name is Xiao Jinli, and his name is Da Jinli."

"His name is Zhu Laosan, and my name is Wang Laowu." Wang Yan laughed and didn't allow her to ask more questions. He asked first: "Hey, boss lady, how long have you been here? Do you know He Laosi?"

"He Laosi?" The big black girl couldn't help frowning: "Why are you asking about him for no reason?"

"Isn't it just curiosity? When we were registering today, the government officials asked whoever they caught and asked if they knew He Laosi. I just want to know who this He Laosi is and how he can make such a big scene?"

The big black girl nodded in understanding and explained: "I also heard it from others. I'm not sure if it's true."

"It's okay, just listen to it for fun, you say what you want."

Thanks to the five big brothers (Imperial Marines), (I am a bookworm 8983), (A cigarette behind the glitz), (Prince Xiu), (Stars light up the sky) for their continued support.

I would like to thank the good brothers who voted for the monthly tickets for their support,

thank the brothers who voted for the recommendations for their support,

thank the big brothers who read the books silently for their support.
