"Erwa, you move this bag of nugget gold to the dark river. I'll guard it here," Old Yutou said to Yu Erwa,
"Okay, uncle!"
Yu Erwa picked up the bag of sand and soil and carefully walked down the stone steps. The heavy weight on her back made Yu Erwa's heart beat wildly. More than thirty kilograms of nugget gold, a rough estimate, is worth about thirty thousand taels.
of silver.
With just this bag, you can buy hundreds of acres of fertile farmland in Dongning Prefecture, so that generations of people in the future can live without worries...
Yu Erwa felt that her palms were sweating, and an idea popped out unconsciously:
"If all this gold were mine, I could take Xiaocui out of Yihongyuan, and I would no longer have to wallow and crawl in the mud of the Gold River for the rest of my life!"
When Yu Erwa was ten years old, because of her excellent water skills and cleverness, she was introduced by relatives in her family and followed Lao Yutou across the ocean to find a living in the Manjin River Valley.
Old Yutou also took good care of this clever young man, but the life of the gold mining team was really hard. In order to find more gold sand and behave better in front of Old Yutou, Yu Erwa was almost killed several times.
Washed away by flash floods.
Even so, the income of the gold mining team mainly went into Lao Yutou's pocket. Yu Erwa watched eagerly as Lao Yutou's two younger sons got married and had children.
My subordinates have been working hard for more than ten years, and now they are almost thirty. They have not found a suitable girl yet. They say they are not in a hurry, but they are already very anxious in their hearts.
The little salary money I was given was either spent on playing Pai Gow and drinking with the co-workers, or on the girls in Yihonglou.
After more than ten years, not only did I not save any savings, I also owed a lot of foreign debt.
Gold~gold~you charming little elf~
His Yu Erwa really needed these things so much. The big bag of yellow stones on his back was exactly the same as what he had dreamed about countless times!
right!
This gold should have belonged to Yu Erwa, and only by taking this gold could he make it worthy of Yu Erwa's hard work for more than ten years.
Besides, mining underground gold veins is a serious crime. If one more person knows about it, it will be more dangerous.
If only he, Yu Erwa, knew about it, then no one would be able to make a fuss about the underground river golden veins!
Yu Erwa was heartbroken, rubbed her nose, and placed the sand bag on the river bank.
Under the light of the torch, Yu Erwa opened the bag of sand and soil again. The charming and dazzling light seemed to be blinking at him, just like the longing eyes of the little Cui girl in Yihong Tower, seducing him to possess it.
Yu Erwa suppressed the impulse in her heart and closed the bag. The cruel look on her face flashed across her face. Then, Yu Erwa took several deep breaths with great effort, then her face remained normal and she slowly walked up the stone steps.
At this time, there happened to be a shaking caused by pulling on the rope. Old Yu quickly pulled the rope and winked at Yu Erwa, who immediately ran over to help pull it.
Another bag of sand weighing several dozen kilograms was pulled out of the narrow boulder tunnel.
Lao Yutou took off the bag of sand and soil and shook the rope. Lin Lu pulled the rope back to the mine in a wise manner.
Lao Yu carefully looked at the gold ore in the sand bag. The dazzling light pierced his eyes and narrowed them slightly.
In a daze, he seemed to see the smile of his precious daughter as she got married, and the appearance of himself in his later years, raising his children and grandchildren~
Suddenly, Lao Yutou felt a sense of suffocation in his neck. Lao Yutou subconsciously reached out to pull the rope around his neck, and then turned his head to the side.
Under the illumination of the torches on the wall, what caught his eyes was a familiar and ferocious face. Lao Yu roared and tried to make some noise, but he only felt that the force on his neck was getting stronger and stronger, and he could not make any sound.
Lao Yutou tried his best to grab a piece of gold nugget from the sand bag, and wanted to smash it on Yu Erwa's head. However, as the force on his neck increased again, Lao Yutou held the gold nugget's arm.
Hanging in mid-air, finally hanging down powerlessly.
Even so, Yu Erwa still strangled her for a few more breaths before letting go.
Yu Erwa picked up the gold nugget in Old Yu's hand and gently put it into the sand bag. After carefully examining the charming gold nugget in the sand bag, she closed the bag with satisfaction.
Yu Erwa looked at Lao Yutou's wide eyes and felt a burst of bad luck. Like kicking a dead dog, she kicked Lao Yutou's body down the stone steps, then picked up the bag of sand and soil and walked slowly.
Go down the stone steps.
Sitting next to two bags of dog-headed gold, looking at the body of Old Yutou by the water, Yu Erwa didn't feel any fear in her heart.
"Now, we only need to get rid of Old Li Tou who is letting loose outside. All the gold belongs to him, Yu Erwa. As for the little official slave of Sanyin in the mine, there is a stone block at this end of the narrow road to keep him inside.
Just destroy yourself." Yu Erwa took out a pot of shochu from her arms, drank a few gulps, and thought.
"But first, we still need to stabilize the little official slave of Sanyin at the other end of the huge stone passage, lest this guy doesn't work hard." Yu Erwa got up and walked up the stone steps, thinking as she walked.
Yu Erwa looked in along the narrow path of boulders. The exposed gold ore on the other side of the mine had been almost picked up by the forest road, and the original gleaming light was gone.
"Brother Yu, where did old Uncle Yu go?" Lin Lu asked from the other side of the narrow stone path.
"Brother Lin Lu, Uncle Yu will carry the sand bags outside first. Uncle Yu is old and not very strong. He should spend the night in the camp." Yu Erwa said perfunctorily.
"Brother Yu, I'm a little tired too. Can I take a rest?" Lin Lu asked tentatively.
"Please help me first to see how the gold ore is on both sides of the mine. Is there still enough?" Yu Erwa asked instead of directly asking Lin Lu.
"There are a lot of them, but they are all relatively large and difficult to pull directly through the narrow road. Brother Yu, what do you think we should do?" Lin Lu put the question back to Yu Erwa.
"Brother Lin Lu, then you should eat something and rest first. Don't be anxious, take your time." Yu Erwa reassured.
"Okay, Brother Yu!" Lin Lu replied obediently, and then the sound of Lin Lu eating dry food and gnawing smoked chicken could be heard from the other side of the narrow stone path.
Yu Erwa picked up the torch and walked down the stone steps. After reaching the water, Yu Erwa extinguished the torch and quietly walked back to the narrow stone path. She held her breath and stood quietly with a cup of tea.
After waiting until the forest road on the other side of the narrow path, the torches were extinguished and the snoring began to start, Yu Erwa moved a few long and narrow stones, blocked the narrow path of boulders, pressed them hard, and then pulled them out with all his strength.
After pulling up, he finally quietly walked down the stone steps.
After Yu Erwa dragged the body of Old Yutou by the water to a corner of the grass where he could not see it, she put a small bag of gold nuggets in it, attached a small pickaxe, jumped into the water, and swam back.
According to Yu Erwa's estimation, it is almost the first moment of the Yin period, when people are most sleepy. As long as they deal with Old Li Tou, all the gold that could never be spent in ten lifetimes will belong to Yu Erwa alone!
According to Lao Yutou, Lao Litou is diligent and cautious in his work, but he is not good at swimming in water. Therefore, during this gold-fishing operation, Lao Litou was just outside for fun. As long as he dragged this old boy into the water,
That's not so easy to grasp.
After a cup of tea, Yu Erwa swam to the entrance of the underground river channel and gently tapped the wooden board at the entrance. Just as he expected, Old Li moved the wooden board away.
Yu Erwa handed over the bag of sand and soil and said, "Uncle Li, this is the ore that Uncle Yu asked me to bring to you. Please take a look."
Lao Li Tou took the bag of sand and soil with one hand and searched for fire sticks on his body with the other hand. At the moment when he was distracted, Yu Erwa took out the pickaxe and pierced Lao Li Tou's back.
There was a muffled sound on Li's head, and a sharp pickaxe dug a bloody hole in his back. Yu Erwa pulled him up, and Li fell headfirst into the underground river.
While the water was splashing, Lao Li took out the dagger from his waist, stabbed Yu Erwa several times, and then swam desperately to the bottom of the water.
Although Old Li Tou has been with Old Yu Tou for decades, he is still a little wary of Yu's uncle and nephew.
No one would be crazy about a legendary treasure like the Dark River Golden Vein.
While Yu Erwa was going to Yihong Tower, Lao Li Tou secretly swam to the narrow passage of huge rocks to check the situation. When he went to the market to buy supplies, he secretly bought a knife and hid it in his waist for self-defense.
When Lao Li Tou first came to Manjin River, his water skills were indeed poor. Fortunately, he was rescued by Lao Yu Tou and was able to survive. After decades of struggling in the river, Lao Li Tou gradually developed his water skills.
, not much worse than Yu's uncle and nephew.
What Yu's uncle and nephew didn't even know was that he, Old Li Tou, had learned some internal martial arts and accidentally beat an official son to death during a dispute, thus committing a life-threatening lawsuit.
Fleeed to Manjinhe to seek life.
In the past few decades, Old Li Tou has not used martial arts on anyone, and his martial arts has also been neglected a lot. However, compared to ordinary people, his martial arts is still pretty good.
The fierceness that Old Li Tou had back then was completely aroused by Yu Erwa, and he thought to himself, "Yu Erwa, you have the guts, I will fight with you until death!".
Yu Erwa was stabbed several times in the head by Lao Li, her body hurt, and she secretly complained in her heart. She didn't expect this old boy to be so agile.
But there was no turning back when the bow was fired. Yu Erwa took a deep breath and dived into the bottom of the river to find the location of Lao Li's head. Yu Erwa believed that as long as the old boy was still in the water, he, Yu Erwa, could kill him.
!
With the dim light of the fluorescent water plants, Yu Erwa kicked off her feet and swam quickly towards Lao Litou.
After all, Old Li Tou is old and has a big bloody hole in his back. In addition, his water quality is indeed not as good as that of Yu Erwa. In order to kill Yu Erwa, a wolf bastard, he must first swim to a ventilation point and wait for ventilation.
Come and fight to the death with this Yu Erwa.
Lao Li Tou and Yu Erwa, one behind the other, paddled desperately in the underground river channel.
Just when Yu Erwa was about to catch up with Lao Li Tou, Lao Li Tou pressed down his hands and quickly surfaced. After taking a deep breath, he plunged into the water again, and a bright dagger went straight to Yu Erwa's face.
Come.
Yu Erwa suddenly turned sideways, narrowly dodging the oncoming dagger, picked up the pickaxe and swung it in a sweeping motion, piercing the back of Old Li Tou. If it were on the ground, Old Li Tou would have been confident that he could avoid this attack.
Suddenly, but it happened to be in the water, Lao Litou felt another stab of pain coming from his back.
Lao Li Tou endured the severe pain in his body, kicked off his feet, turned around and came straight towards Yu Erwa.
Yu Erwa had been holding her breath underwater for a long time, and due to the violent exertion just now, the air in her body had been exhausted, so her movements were inevitably a little sluggish.
Suddenly, Lao Litou's dagger was pointed directly at his chest.
The dagger plunged deeply into Yu Erwa's chest. Lao Li pushed his head and feet into the water again, and the force of his hands actually pushed Yu Erwa directly into the mud at the bottom of the water.
Yu Erwa desperately grabbed the hand holding the dagger of Old Li Tou, picked up the pickaxe with the other hand, and stabbed Old Li Tou with all her strength.
Lao Li Tou was well prepared and struck out to block him. When Yu Erwa saw that the attack was unsuccessful, she simply threw away the pickaxe and grabbed Lao Li Tou with all her strength.
Lao Li Tou worked hard and kicked Yu Erwa hard with both feet. Yu Erwa, already putting life and death aside, clamped Lao Li Tou's feet and bit down on Lao Li Tou's shoulder viciously.
Yu Erwa, who is about thirty years old in physique, is clinging to an old man who is nearly sixty years old like this. Although Lao Litou has some skills to get close to him, in such a special environment underwater, failure to protect him will lead to death.
In the fierce fight, the air in Lao Litou's body was also consumed very much.
Lao Li Tou thought that the battle must be fought quickly. He cut out the dagger in his hand and quickly retracted the dagger while Yu Erwa was in pain. Then, he kicked Yu Erwa with his feet, pressed down with his hands, and quickly surfaced out of the water.
After taking a deep breath, he plunged into the water again, and then stared at Yu Erwa in the water not far or near from Yu Erwa.
If Yu Erwa wanted to surface, he would block it with a dagger. If Yu Erwa wanted to get closer, Lao Li would retreat.
Yu Erwa glared at Old Li Tou with resentment. In desperation, she drank a few mouthfuls of river water. Yu Erwa slowly lost consciousness with his dream of getting rich.
Old Li Tou came out of the water again and looked at the rock wall blankly. He didn't know whether his old friend Lao Yu Tou instigated Yu Erwa to do it, or whether Yu Erwa, a wolf cub, was blinded by gold and acted without authorization.
If it were the second situation, Old Yu would probably be in a very bad situation.
No matter what, Lao Li Tou wants to see his old friend.
With this in mind and enduring the severe pain from his back, Lao Li successfully climbed out of the water after taking a few breaths for the first time. After lighting the torch, he looked at the two heavy bags of gold on the shore and shouted, "Lao Li."
Yu Tou, Yu Erwa has died at my hands, if you want to kill me, Old Li Tou, just come out, you saved my life, you can take it away at any time!"
There was only a brief echo and a longer silence in response to Lao Litou.
Old Li Tou picked up the soju that was placed on the shore, drank a few gulps of it, then took a torch and searched carefully around the shore. After a while, Old Li Tou discovered Lao Yu Tou's unblinking expression.
Smiling sadly, he gently closed Lao Yu's wide-open eyes with his hands.
Lao Li sat down on the ground with difficulty, coughed a few times, and drank a few sips of soju with the blood coughing out of his mouth. He knew that his time was running out, and scenes from the past came to mind.
............
He was successful in his studies and high-spirited,
........
He accidentally killed someone and was running around trying to avoid being wanted,
.......
His parents passed away, and he could only hide in the crowd, unable to show his filial piety.
.......
He went overseas and hid in the bottom cabin of the ship, looking like he was at the end of his rope.
...
He was working hard day and night in the Manjin River,
...
And the way he taught Yu Erwa, a wolf cub, to pan for gold,
...
He, Lao Li, has no heirs, so he always treats Yu Erwa as his son.
Never thought about it,
In the end, he killed Yu Erwa with his own hands.
...
Hey~~this damn gold!
.....
As the torch gradually went out, Lao Litou slowly closed his eyes.
.....
"Father, mother, my son has come down to fulfill his filial piety to you~" This chapter has been completed!
