Chapter 1427: Ill-Gotten Gains, Guarded with Justice
The copper box is very thin, and inside the copper box is a square gold ingot with a small circle.
Wang Qiang and Xing San thought it was a gold nugget, but when Wang Qiang took it out, they found that it was a gold box.
Wang Qiang took out the gold box and felt something shaking inside.
"Brother." Wang Qiang handed the gold box to Xing San. Xing San shook it gently in his hand and felt that there was something like gravel inside.
Xing San rushed to Wang Qiang and waved his hand. The two returned to the two white girls trees and saw Xing San sitting on the box containing the explosives. Wang Qiang sat on the other box containing the detonators.
Xing San pulled out the knife from his waist, tapped the handle twice on the lid of the box, then tapped twice on each side, and finally tried to open the lid.
The lid is buckled very tightly, but the old man has strong hands and is very steady.
When the lid was opened, Wang Qiang couldn't help but frowned when he saw what was inside, and said, "What is this? Gold sand?"
There was golden powder inside, and strangely, part of the powder was particles of gold stars.
Xing San didn't say anything. He used the tip of the knife to gently stir the gold powder, revealing the yellow-white material underneath, which looked like hard plastic.
This thing is familiar to both Xing San and Wang Qiang. It is dried bear bile skin.
"Holy shit!" Xing San was surprised and cursed, "This is golden bear bile!"
"Ouch!" Wang Qiang slapped his thigh and said, "I remembered, my Aunt Jiang mentioned it."
The Aunt Jiang mentioned by Wang Qiang was the old lady. Xing San heard this and asked quickly: "What did she say?"
"She said that blind man Yang killed a golden gall that year." Wang Qiang said, "After that, he sold eighty silver dollars to my father."
"Then this is it." Xing San said, snapping the lid back. It's windy in the mountains, and if a handful of bear bile powder is blown away, it will be in vain.
"Yeah!" Wang Qiang nodded and said, "Looking at his boldness, he must have had some powder picking."
"It's for someone." Xing San handed the gold box to Wang Qiang and said, "You have it in your pocket, but don't lose it."
Wang Qiang responded, put the gold box away, and then said to Xing San: "Brother, how much does that eighty silver dollar cost now?"
"Oh..." Xing San frowned and muttered: "The boss who drove horses for your family before was earning one yuan a month. Now...it's almost thirty yuan."
"Thirty...three-eight-twenty-four..." Wang Qiang did the math and said, "That makes two thousand and four."
"Well, it's not bad." Xing San said this, and then Wang Qiang said: "This courage should be more than that price now. The last time the two men named Zheng came to collect it, what price did they pay for the copper courage?"
"I heard from your sister that there is a golden gall at home?" ”
"This time I sold the big one to my family, too." Xing San pointed to Wang Qiang's pocket and said, "This one is broken. If you want to keep it, you can keep it."
After saying this, Xing San said: "The boy didn't tell me when he left. If he wants to tell me, I will let him sell the big one."
After hearing what Xing San said, Wang Qiang said: "My eldest nephew said that the bear bile is very good at detoxifying. It's a good thing. Let's keep it for ourselves."
“No, Qiangzi.” , went to my place the next day.
I remember that the big gold bladder belongs to the third family, and the small one belongs to our family. If we keep the big one and sell it to the small one, the two families won't be able to share the money. Will they feel happy if they see us selling it for money? "
When Wang Qiang heard this, he took a long breath of cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and said: "No way, brother. Xiaojun, Yuanmin, and Xiaochen killed that bear bile. They can still talk to my eldest nephew." Is it weird?”
"Ill-gotten gains from siege, this is where trouble starts." Xing San puffed out smoke and said, "How many of those two good brothers just supported the siege and ended up breaking up as if they were the same person?"
As he said that, Xing San pointed towards Nanshan and said: "They have a man named Hu Dahai. He used to be a partner with that old foreign cannon from Wynn. Each of them has an old foreign cannon. You can shoot one and I can shoot one. How much can we do?" Hei Xiazi? What are you talking about? If they both share it equally, won’t they break up in the end?”
The elders often say that money from hunting is money from killing people. It is ill-gotten wealth and there is no way to make a fortune.
Even if you make money in front of you, over time, you will lose it due to various reasons.
Moreover, another characteristic of siege is that it is easy for buddies to break up with each other.
It is said that relatives and friends cannot do business together, and the same goes for siege.
Apart from the factor of money, there are also factors such as competitiveness and mutual jealousy.
The Hu Dahai mentioned by Xing San was Zhao Jun's master in his previous life, and Song Jingui, the old Song Paoist at Wynn, was also the No. 1 figure in the Eighteenth Post back then.
The two of them were dog gangs in their early years. At that time, the family could not raise too many dogs. It happened that Hu Dahai's family had two dogs and Song Jingui's family had two dogs. The two of them formed a dog gang.
When Hu Dahai first went up the mountain, it was Song Jingui who led Hu Dahai. Later, Song Jingui's leading dog was picked to death by Pao Zizi. When Song Jingui tried to mess with Teng Dog again, Hu Dahai's dog was the leader of their dog gang.
This situation lasted for more than two years. As Hu Dahai's leader got older, Song Jingui's dog became the leader of the dog gang.
And at that time, Song Jingui had already developed four hunting dogs.
From then on, the hunting gang of these two people was headed by Song Jingui. In the past, when they encountered problems, the two of them would discuss and consult, but later Song Jingui would make the final decision directly.
But this did not affect their cooperation, until one day, wild boars broke into the corn field of Hu Dahai's eldest sister's family, and Hu Dahai went to Song Jingui's house to take the dog to protect the farmers.
When Hu Dahai arrived at Song's house, he found that Song Jingui's dog was not at home. When Hu Dahai asked, Song Jingui said that he had lent the dog to his eldest brother-in-law.
Hu Dahai asked when the dog would come back, and Song Jingui said three days. As a result, three days and three days, the dog did not come back after waiting for more than ten days, and finally Song Jingui went to his eldest brother-in-law's house to hunt.
From then on, Hu Dahai had a knot in his heart. After two months, the hunting gang of Hu and Song broke up.
At that time, hunting relied on old foreign cannons, which were very troublesome to load ammunition, and basically only had one shot when encountering prey.
But when Hu and Song cooperated, it was amazing. Especially when hunting bears, Hu Dahai was in front and Song Jingui was behind.
If Hu Dahai did not kill the bear with a shot, and the bear headed towards Hu Dahai, Hu Dahai would run to Song Jingui.
When Song Jingui was hiding in front of the tree, Hu Dahai circled behind, and the bear following behind would be shot by Song Jingui.
The two cooperated very well, so they killed a lot of bears and made a lot of money, so Hu Dahai could raise four sons in wealth, and Song Jingui's family could feed four hunting dogs.
But after that breakup, neither of them could do it. Hu Dahai had difficulty making money, and Song Jingui lost half of his arm in a bear hunt.
In Zhao Jun's previous life, Hu Dahai talked about this matter with Zhao Jun.
Hu Dahai said that he was unhappy at the beginning, not because of the dog. But there was a feeling that Song Jingui thought he was good enough and didn't take him, Hu Dahai, seriously, and forgot how Hu Dahai helped him drag those four dogs in those two years.
But when he told Zhao Jun about this, Hu Dahai regretted it, so he told Zhao Jun that when hunting in the mountains, people must be united and horses must be coordinated, and there must be no rifts between companions.
Zhao Jun, who had just entered the industry at that time, asked Hu Dahai, when Song Jingui helped Hu Dahai to drag the dog at the beginning, and when Hu Dahai helped Song Jingui to drag the dog, if the prey was distributed according to the mountain rules, and the person with the head dog got more spoils, then the two people would not have broken up.
But Hu Dahai told Zhao Jun that the two people would break up faster that way.
If Song Jingui took more spoils when he helped Hu Dahai to drag the dog at the beginning, then once Song Jingui's head dog died, Hu Dahai would directly break up with him and would not help Song Jingui to drag the dog.
In the end, Hu Dahai asked Zhao Jun to remember one more sentence, that is: the ill-gotten gains that kill people must be guarded by righteousness.
In the 89th year of Zhao Jun's previous life, he worshipped Hu Dahai as his master. Hu Dahai has not yet realized this truth, but Zhao Jun has already applied it in his life.
When Wang Meilan first started to set up a banquet at home and invited several families to come over for a roe deer feast, Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan and others had discussed it, saying that hunting would not make you rich, but in their opinion, it was not entirely true.
Because Zhao Jun made a fortune with Li Baoyu, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jie Chen, but why others did not make a fortune, but they could make a fortune, those women did not know.
The reason is Hu Dahai's words: ill-gotten wealth must be guarded by righteousness.
And Xing San's consideration is not unreasonable. People's hearts cannot withstand the grinding and the knots are getting more and more, and in the end they really can't be untied. Family affection, friendship, and love are mutual, and they all need to be maintained. Brothers are good.
In fact, Zhao Jun, who was far away in Anguo, thought that the golden gall would be valuable at first, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable.
When he heard the offer from Manager Huang, Zhao Jun also had the same concerns as Xing San.
That's why Zhao Jun decided to keep the small golden gallbladder for his own use. He would sell the big golden gallbladder when he came next time, and then share the money with Zhang Yuanmin and Jie Chen.
At this time, in Huichun Hall, Mr. Huang, Shopkeeper Huang and Huang Haizhen, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, were drinking tea at the table, while Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, Jie Chen and Zhao Weipeng were busy checking the big unity.
All the bear galls brought by Zhao Jun, except the golden gallbladder, were sold for a total of 52,830 yuan.
More than 50 stacks of big unity were checked twice repeatedly. The four people checked for half an hour and put the money in the sack after confirming that the amount of money was correct.
After packing the money, Zhao Jun was ready to leave. Shopkeeper Huang said to keep the guests, but Zhao Jun declined. Shopkeeper Huang and Huang Haizhen, father and son, sent Zhao Jun and his party out of Huichun Hall.
Outside Huichun Hall, the two sides said goodbye to each other and agreed to meet again after the New Year.
Then Zhao Jun and his four companions got in the car, and Jie Chen drove them all the way back to Jinxi.
It was already past one in the afternoon, and Zhao Jun took out a big pancake from his shoulder bag and shared it with the three of them.
At this time, there was not only more than 50,000 yuan from the bear bile sales in the car, but also more than 100,000 yuan from the skin sales in the big sack behind the back seat.
Fortunately, there were no people who broke into cars and stole bags these days. If the money was thrown in the car, no one outside would know, so no one would steal it.
But with a huge sum of nearly 200,000 yuan, Zhao Jun and his four companions were eager to go home, and they didn't look for a restaurant to eat, but drove back directly.
On the way, the four of them took turns driving, and they didn't return to Changshan City until after nine o'clock in the evening.
They also stayed at the guesthouse where they had stayed before, and carried the sacks of money into the house and stuffed them under the bed.
Zhao Jun and Banzhi lay on the kang together, and asked Zhao Weipeng, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen to go out and find a place to eat.
The three of them went to the restaurant and ordered four dishes. When they ordered the dishes, they borrowed a lunch box from the restaurant. When the dishes were served, they put a portion of each dish in the lunch box.
After the three of them finished eating, they took the lunch box back to Zhao Jun.
…
Zhao Jun had just finished dinner, and the Zhao family in Yong'an Village was over there.
Zhao Youcai and Xing San sat on the kang in the west room, smoking opposite each other, but their eyes were on Wang Meilan, watching Wang Meilan take things out of the sack one by one.
In this sack today, except for the small gold box and the gold bear bile powder, the rest are copper utensils.
Among them, there are only two copper toilets, the narrow one is for men, and the square one is for women.
In addition, there are copper wine pots, water pots, wine glasses, water cups...
Some of the things, even Wang Meilan has no impression.
"This is nothing good." Zhao Youcai, who was sitting on the kang, was a little disappointed and said, "It's just broken copper and iron."
Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai and said, "You don't have it at home yet."
Zhao Youcai looked up and said, "My family is well-off, how can we have these things?"
Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai again, and Xing San looked at the couple quarreling, smiled faintly but didn't say anything.
Until Wang Meilan put away all the things, Xing San said to the two of them, "Second brother, sister-in-law, this thing has been found, so I will go back tomorrow."
"Brother, why are you in a hurry to go back?" Wang Meilan said, "You have been tossing around for several days, just take a good rest at home tomorrow."
"That's right, brother." Zhao Youcai's reaction was even greater than Wang Meilan's. He said anxiously, "Why are you leaving? I haven't stayed with you enough, you can't leave!"
It was not easy for Zhao Youcai to say this. But he wanted to keep Xing San, because only if Xing San stayed, he could go up the mountain.
"No!" Xing San waved his hand, then pointed out the window and said, "I have to go back to the arena. I have seven or eight big leather traps over there. I have to sneak out!"
"Brother, there's no rush." Zhao Youcai said, "Wait until the next day before sneaking out. The traps won't be lost if they are placed there."
"That's right." Wang Meilan glanced at Zhao Youcai, then advised Xing San, "How many people are so wicked that they can sneak out other people's traps and steal other people's wild animals?"
Zhao Youcai: "..."
"No, no." Xing San shook his head and said, "If it was a trap for roe deer, I really wouldn't care. But the big leather is not like the others. The mother and son are worth more than a thousand yuan. Don't let others take it away."
After saying this, Xing San put out his cigarette and said, "Wait until I finish sneaking out these traps before coming down. If I can scratch three or five big leathers, all the money for the boy's New Year banquet will come out."
Wang Meilan was very moved when she heard this. Regardless of whether the family is short of 3,000 or 5,000 yuan, the old man's kindness is much more precious than 3,000 or 5,000 yuan.
But Zhao Youcai glanced at Wang Meilan with his eyelids after hearing what Xing San said.
His prodigal wife said that when her son gets married next year, she will have a grand wedding. She will hold a grand wedding for a hundred years in the past and twenty years in the future. Except for the wedding of her eldest grandson, no one will surpass her son!
There is one more chapter, but I still have half a chapter to finish. I am sleepy now and need to take a nap. I will get up around four o'clock to write it and send it after six o'clock.
Brother, go to bed first and read it tomorrow morning.
