After Zhu Chuanwen made his attitude clear, Zhu Kaishan finally revealed some of the situation between Lao Jingou and He Laosi.
In addition to helping Zhu Kaishan to avenge He Laosi, Zhu Chuanwen was most concerned about whether there was any gold in Lao Jingou.
The gold mining in Laojingou has been going on for many years. Whether the ore veins are exhausted or not is of course not a value.
"If there was no gold in Lao Jingou, would He Laosi be harmed?"
He said he wanted to investigate, but in his heart Zhu Kaishan already acquiesced that He Laosi was killed.
"Then let's go break into this old Jingou. I don't believe that this old Jingou can still be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den."
Although there are many ways to make money, in this day and age, apart from burning, killing, looting and looting, there are not many ways to make money faster than mining for gold.
"We went to Lao Jingou for revenge. Don't be fooled by the gold."
Seeing that Zhu Chuanwen was very interested in gold, Zhu Kaishan reminded him.
"I am sensible, and I am not someone who does not know the importance of things and would rather give up his life than his wealth."
Zhu Chuanwen still understands this very well. Gold mining is not necessary for him.
"Dad, don't worry about how to get to Laojingou. Someone from Laojingou has come to Yuanbao Town to recruit workers."
After the two men decided to go to Laojingou, the only remaining question was how to get there.
It's not impossible to leave because of the reputation.
But when you have a different intention, it will inevitably be a bit abrupt if you send it to your door.
He will be listed as a key suspect and will be inconvenient to do things.
So even though we had decided to go to Laojingou together and had made various preparations for several days, the two of us had not set off yet.
Zhu Chuanwen knew that Lao Jingou would come to Yuanbao Town to recruit workers, so he took Xian'er to play in the town every day. He also paid attention to the news. When he heard that Lao Jingou was coming, he came back to notify Zhu Kaishan as soon as possible.
"These people come all the way to recruit workers because they are here for me!"
Lao Jingou didn't come to Yuanbao Town to recruit workers before, but he came here this time, which was an abnormality.
"Dad, they are here just for you."
Zhu Chuanwen nodded affirmatively.
Zhu Kaishan was thinking about avenging He Laosi.
The person who killed He Laosi was also thinking about Zhu Kaishan, He Laosi's golden bloodline that controlled his brothers.
So I came up with the idea of spreading the news of He Laosi's violent death first.
Then they would recruit workers within a radius of several hundred miles and lure Zhu Kaishan back to Laojingou.
Whether Zhu Kaishan is thinking about avenging He Laosi or thinking about gold, he will undoubtedly take the bait and deliver it to his door.
This wave can be regarded as a two-way rush.
"You two are digging for gold together?"
After the two of them arrived in Yuanbao Town, they saw the gold heads from Laojingou. They all boasted that Laojingou had a lot of gold and was good at gold mining.
But just bragging about this kind of thing is of no use.
Every fool knows how dangerous gold mining is.
So there are still more people watching and less people signing up.
When he saw two strong men, father and son, signing up, Jin Boutou was very enthusiastic.
"My family can't live well, so we can only make a fortune, otherwise the whole family will starve to death."
Zhu Kaishan, who had changed into rags and a ragged coat, explained to Jin Bangtou.
If you are going to go gold mining, it is necessary to change into rags.
No one from a good family would do this.
"Where did it come from?"
"The cowherd."
"what's your name?"
"My name is Boss Zhu, and his name is Zhu Xiaowen. Please write down our names."
What stands out about this pseudonym is its randomness.
Try to match the style of naming a poor home for common people.
"Brother, let me ask you something..."
"Dad, let's go back. We still need to pack our luggage."
Seeing that Zhu Kaishan still wanted to inquire about He Laosi's situation, Zhu Chuanwen pulled him out.
The eagerness to avenge his brother still affected Zhu Kaishan's composure a little, making him appear a little eager.
If you want to test it out, there is no need to expose yourself so obviously.
Once you tempt others, others will inevitably tempt you in turn.
"Why did you drag me out?"
"Dad, if you want to know about Uncle He's situation, you will know everything when you get to Laojingou. We are not in a hurry in the next few days."
When Zhu Kaishan was young, his temper was similar to Chuanwu's, and Chuanwu's recklessness was inherited from Zhu Kaishan.
It was only after the Boxer Rebellion, being stabbed in the back by the Manchus, and experiencing lessons that he matured.
But in emergencies, some of it will still be exposed.
"I couldn't hold it back." Zhu Kaishan reflected on himself.
"Don't be anxious for now, safety comes first." Zhu Chuanwen consoled him.
After signing up, I waited for another two days for the people from Laojingou to finish recruiting in Yuanbao Town.
Zhu Chuanwencai and Zhu Kaishan followed Jin Baotou on horseback and sledge to Lao Jingou.
Yuanbao Town is already a prosperous commercial town.
It can radiate in a radius of dozens of miles, and there are many villages and villages with a large population. There are only a dozen workers willing to go gold mining.
There are only a dozen people here, most of them are Shandong people who came from Guandong and have no industry.
From this number of people, we know that as long as there are other ways out, most people will not do this.
"Jin Baotou, how long until we get to Lao Jingou?"
Lao Yan'er, who was riding in the same car as Zhu Chuanwen, asked Jin Boss.
It is still the first month of the year, and in the Northeast, the weather has not gotten warmer at all.
It is not a good experience to ride a horse and sledge for a long time. The weather is minus 20 degrees Celsius, and sometimes you have to brave the wind and snow.
Being blown by the cold wind for a day can really freeze someone to death.
Riding a sledge for a day and playing with Lao Zhu's family from Fangniugou to the town for half an hour at a time should not be confused.
"It's still early. Yuanbao Town is five hundred miles away from Lao Jin. How far have we gone?"
"It's too difficult to travel in winter. Why don't you wait until the snow melts in spring?"
"To go to Laojingou, you have to cross a large meadow. When the weather warms up and thaws, the meadow turns into a big sauce vat, making it impossible to walk."
The broken man turned his head and said, this is close to a meadow, if not a swamp.
Not to mention what happens when we get to Laojingou, we can just eliminate the weak ones on the way there.
"Dad, have a drink."
Zhu Chuanwen had an unusual physique and was not afraid of the cold, but even though Zhu Kaishan was very strong, he only had an ordinary person's physique, so Zhu Chuanwen still prepared soju for Zhu Kaishan to keep him warm.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Little brother, give me a sip of wine, I feel like I'm going to freeze. I'm from our Yuanbao Town too."
Another person in the car saw this and asked Zhu Chuanwen.
Although these dozen people were all recruited from Yuanbao Town.
But most of them are migrants and have little connection with the Zhu family.
This person told Yuanbao Town that he could get close to the Zhu family.
"Wen'er, give him a drink. His name is Niu Dejin, and he really comes from our Yuanbao Town."
After Zhu Chuanwen looked at Zhu Kaishan for instructions, Zhu Kaishan replied.
"Niu Dejin, why do you have to go gold mining? Are you capable of gold mining?"
After getting the name, Zhu Chuanwen recalled a little bit of the plot and determined that he was an old unlucky guy.
He was a person who Zhu Kaishan had saved several times but could not survive.
Just now, if Zhu Chuanwen didn't give him some wine to keep him warm, he wouldn't be in good physical condition and wouldn't wear enough clothes, so he would freeze himself on the sledge.
"Oh...it's just for a bite of food."
Niu Dejin sighed and didn't explain why.
But when you think about it, life is unsatisfactory. Each of these dozen people has his or her own difficulties.
After walking for ten days, we finally arrived near Laojingou.
These days I have been traveling through mountains and forests, so I rest when I feel tired and continue on my way after resting.
There is no serious place to rest. At night, we stay in some shacks for hiking.
It was barely a shelter from the wind.
Only experienced people can navigate this path.
If you can't find a shelter at night, you can send yourself away directly.
If Zhu Chuanwen hadn't given away a gourd of soju, at least two would have been lost on this trip alone.
Zhu Chuanwen didn't know whether these people had no common sense or were too poor.
I dared to hit the road like this in the Northeast winter without being well prepared to avoid the cold.
This side of Laojingou is a mountainous and mining area, and there are no homes for dozens of miles.
But when we get close to Laojingou, it's a little better than the road. There is an inn here.
"Take a rest. Once we get here, we will cross the big meadow tomorrow and we can enter Laojingou."
When we arrived at the inn, Jin was familiar with the locals. He said a few polite words to the shopkeeper and arranged for the person to stay.
There is nothing in the villages here, but there is an inn so unexpected, which of course relies on Laojingou for survival.
This can also be regarded as the den set up by various groups in Lao Jingou outside Lao Jingou.
It is basically equivalent to the hotels opened at the four intersections of Liangshan.
In addition to keeping people lodged and fed, information is also very important.
The gold diggers at the bottom of Laojingou are not worth mentioning.
These metalworkers went into Laojingou and were usually not allowed out.
There are generally three types of people who can enter and leave Laojingou freely.
One category is the top cabinet of each gold mining team.
One type is the Qing soldiers sent by the imperial court, and the last type is the bandits who cooperate with the Qing soldiers.
The business of this inn is mainly taken care of by these people.
"I can finally sleep on the hot kang and have a hot meal. This place is useless. Even if there is gold, it is not worth coming." After sitting down, Zhu Chuanwen said to Zhu Kaishan.
This place is far different from Zhu Chuanwen's expectations.
It’s the same era, it’s the same gold rush.
San Francisco in the beautiful country can develop a city, but Lao Jingou cannot even develop a village.
I can only say that although they are all gold mines, the gap between mines is greater than the gap between humans and dogs.
Before coming here, Zhu Chuanwen was a little interested in this place.
After traveling ten days to arrive, Zhu Chuanwen lost most of his interest in this place.
Zhu Chuanwen likes a certain pastoral life, but he also requires abundant supplies.
It's not like being in prison and being isolated from the world. If you want to buy something, you have to run hundreds of miles.
"Here comes the man. Do you want to braid your hair or not?"
After eating a meal of sorghum rice and waiting for the metalworkers to go back to the Datongpu where Jin had arranged to rest, a tall and elegant lady walked in.
"What is braiding or not braiding?"
"It's just a scoop." A local metalworker replied.
“How can I braid my hair if I don’t have money?”
"It's okay to pay on credit. You've already come to Laojingou. Are you still worried about not having any money?"
"Sister, I want to go to the toilet. Could you please show me the way?"
Then a few LSPs ran out with the eldest sister hungry.
Listening to the lewd smiles of the other people who stayed behind, you knew what these people were going to do.
This was a place for entertainment and consumption by Qing soldiers and bandits, and of course it was not just about eating and drinking.
There is still an entertainment industry where smoking and women are the most basic equipment.
This inn has the same services as the nightclubs in the future.
"Are these people working their whole lives here just for this thing?"
Originally, Zhu Chuanwen had some sympathy for these people.
But look at these people who haven't even made a penny yet, and they go play with women first.
Most of the sympathy disappears immediately, and there must be something hateful about the poor person.
If you are not a serious person, you should only come here to live a life of gold mining if you are poor.
Although this is what men do, but these people are risking their lives to play with women, which is a bit too lustful.
Of course, there were more than a dozen people in total, but only three or four went to the "toilet" with the woman.
It is enough to show that most people are not so perverted, but still want to change the fate of their families through gold mining.
"When you enter Laojingou, you can't touch women with anything, otherwise you won't even be able to keep your skin."
After a few unscrupulous men walked out with the women, a gold man with a very experienced look said to the remaining people.
After resting for a night at the inn, we continued our journey the next day.
"It's hard to find the meadow. Let's take a detour. Let's hold hands and walk together."
They didn't walk far, and when they arrived in front of the meadow, Jin turned his head to everyone and said.
Lao Jingou also used this large meadow to control the access of metalworkers.
If people are not familiar with the road conditions, it is easy to get stuck in the meadow and be unable to get out.
"Why would you dare not walk on such a frozen road? I don't believe it can trap people."
Niu Dejin is a very brainless person. He doesn't listen to others' advice and just moves forward arrogantly.
"I'm afraid he's not a fool. How can such a person live so long?"
Zhu Chuanwen asked Zhu Kaishan why he thought of saving such a person.
No matter how you look at this kind of people, they don't look like they can survive smoothly.
"Ouch...save me..."
After a while, Niu Dejin fell into it.
Jin looked at Niu Dejin and said with a sneer: "You didn't believe it, didn't you? Do you believe it now?"
"Help, I still have a wife and children at home that I need to support!" Niu Dejin burst into tears, looking like a happy person.
Although this feeling of being trapped and experiencing death a little bit is very scary, it doesn't make such a grown man burst into tears.
"Cut your belt off." Jin threw his head to Niu Dejin with a sharp knife, and then said to the others: "Let's work together to pull him out."
Jin Baotou is still experienced. After being trapped, he cut his belt and it was indeed easier to pull people in.
It's just that after Niu Dejin came out, he was in a state of no pants and bare buttocks.
No one wants to experience what it feels like to have a bare buttocks at more than 20 degrees below zero.
If you freeze for a while, you can basically say goodbye to the woman.
"Quickly find a pair of pants and put them on, don't show your little house bird to anyone."
After Niu Dejin became honest, he encountered no more trouble when crossing Caodianzi.
Then they met the carriages coming from Rao Road, and after driving for a while, they actually entered Laojingou.
