In the spring of that year, Wang Zhenjiang, a company commander of a detachment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, lost contact with the troops during a battle, and in order to find the troops, Wang Zhenjiang trekked hard in the depths of the Forest Sea. On this day, he was tired and hungry, stumbled to a river, and was about to lie down to drink water, when suddenly his eyes turned black and he didn't know anything... In a trance, he seemed to see his mother, who had been killed by Riko, sitting next to him and feeding the porridge into his mouth with a wooden spoon, until the next day, when he fully woke up, and it turned out that a few kind gold diggers had rescued him from the river and returned him to the ground.
This was a gold panning team of more than twenty people, and the head was a strong man in his fifties, medium-sized, rough and fierce, and the non-angry and threatening eyes under the thick eyebrows were even more aggressive. He had this skill: he could pick up a handful of dirt in a ravine and put it in his mouth to taste it, or grab a handful of sand with his eyes closed and rub it a few times to find out if there was any gold nearby.
Wang Zhenjiang hugged his fist and said: "Boss..." Holding his head as if he knew his intentions, he waved his hand and said, "If you see me as a okay person, just call a big brother well, there is nothing to help with cooking!" He patted Wang Zhenjiang's shoulder, "Cooking is a good job, Xue Rengui was a soldier and a leader of the gang!" After saying that, he left Wang Zhenjiang and walked alone to the river beach. Wang Zhenjiang thought doubtfully: This little old man, who speaks without a head and a brain, is really strange!
One night Wang Zhenjiang slept soundly, overheard his head shouting loudly: "Everyone get up quickly, let me go out to work!" Listen to the chickens on the mountain?" Wang Zhenjiang was the first to put on his clothes and go outside to listen.
But not the countless pheasants on the mountains everywhere "clucked" into a little. "Copy the guys, don't play anyone, dead dog!" fast! A golden hen led a nest of chicken cubs down the mountain.
Go get caught! Gold diggers love to refer to gold nuggets as "golden roosters". Listening to the shouting of the head, everyone rushed out of the ground like a swarm to dig a large pit on the river beach by means of the moonlight, and dug the sand out of the ground... In Wang Zhenjiang's eyes, he usually did not work, but now he threw off his arms and dug out the sand from the pit, encouraging while doing: "Let's work harder." After the hour, when I saw the light of day, the golden rooster ran away..." I heard that there was a golden rooster, and the strength of everyone was particularly high, and the water "rushed" and flowed shovels and shovels into the water... "Boss, I caught a golden rooster!" Someone held up a gold nugget the size of an egg yolk and shouted excitedly, and then someone shouted: "There are two golden beans..." By noon, everyone had found a total of three "golden chickens" and more than ten golden beans, not including the sand with a high gold content.
He seemed particularly happy, he beckoned everyone to sit down, and then beckoned to Wang Zhenjiang: "You are a scholar, come and keep an account!" Wang Zhenjiang had the heart to say that he could not read, but he had no choice but to stand up and had to walk over. Weighing the weight of the gold nugget with his head weighed loudly, Wang Zhenjiang used a half-cut lead to note the number, weighed the head of the gold and stood up with the ledger, solemnly re-read the amount of all the gold before, and then shook the ledger and said to the crowd: "Our gold is all here, who has anything to say?" The boss's heart is like a mirror without words!"
"Nothing to say? Well, I said a few words and put my head down in the ledger. The face "brushed" and pulled down. "There is heaven above and earth below, and the conscience of heaven and earth!" Today we are begging for a bowl of rice in the territory of this mountain god. If anyone had done something sorry for his conscience and said it now, I could have taken it for him in front of the Mountain God! After saying that, he took a stick of incense from his head, and stared at the crowd and folded the incense evenly into three pieces.
In the mountains, only when the gangs encounter major things can they dare to ask the mountain god to judge, this big tree stump is the right position of the mountain god, which is not a small thing! All of them stood up at once. He lit three incense sticks with a foreign fire on his head, turned around and respectfully inserted the incense into the rice bowl on the large tree stump, the summer sun was scorching like fire, and a night owl flew silently over people's heads and pounced into the depths of the dark forest, and the cries of several jays sounded creepy and chilling.
The three incense sticks on the rice bowl burned to the end... Turn your head back with your hands back. Slowly walking in front of the two rows of people, the eagle-like sharp gaze looked through each person's eyes and seemed to see the depths of their hearts. He suddenly stood still, turned his back to the crowd, and faced the rows of towering ancient trees on the mountain, and issued a broken drink: "Little Third Son. You stand up for me!"
Several people stepped forward and grabbed the little third son who was slumped on the ground. A piece of goose egg-sized chicken-shaped gold was retrieved from his trouser belt, and then carefully placed the gold on the large tree stump.
The crowd all raised their eyes and looked at this extraordinary piece of gold, and the whole audience was silent... Without even turning his head back, his broad shoulders shrugged suddenly: Send him away!"
According to the rules of the mountain, the little third son was stripped naked and tied to a large tree on the mountain. The overwhelming poisonous mosquitoes and blind flies will mercilessly devour his life.........
Wang Zhenjiang, who was born in the army, had personally watched his relatives and comrades-in-arms die under the butcher's knife of the Japanese Kou, and had also shot the gun of hatred into the head of the little devil and stabbed the bayonet into the chest of the traitor, but what he witnessed this time was a different reality than before: the little third son was actually the nephew of his sister-in-law!
In a blink of an eye, Wang Zhenjiang has been in the gold panning team for more than half a year, he misses his comrades-in-arms like arrows, this day at breakfast, Wang Zhenjiang is about to find a head to resign, just out of the ground, but saw the head far away, Lang shouted at him: Learn you come. I made someone else a cotton jacket, he is about the same height as you, you can try it! Looking at Wang Zhenjiang put on the cotton jacket and took a step back, as if admiring a masterpiece, he smiled and said: The pedantic cotton jacket is not difficult to dismantle or disassemble, that is, the cotton is learned, you will know it later!
Holding his head and waving his big hand, Wang Zhenjiang sat down on a large blue stone, and the two silently looked at each other, since he disposed of his nephew that day, Wang Zhenjiang had been afraid to look at his eyes, because Wang Zhenjiang clearly saw that there was a hidden pain in the deep gaze of the head!
After a long silence, he opened his head first: "You want to find me?" Are you looking for me to miss the old man at home? Or do you want to go back to the fields?" Turning his head to Wang Zhenjiang's stunned eyes, he continued, "You think my eyes will only be gold?" In fact, as soon as you arrive here, I know that you are not an ordinary person, and the cocoon of the hand with the hoe grows here! Besides, which cropper would write such beautiful foreign characters? I kept you a few times, just because I was afraid that you would be seen through by the Japanese, just by the way you walked, you would be a..." He said with his head and made a gesture of raising his hand in salute.
Wang Zhenjiang couldn't imagine that he had already seen through himself, he tightly held the two hands of the head, his heart was hot, his nose was sour, his eyes were wet, and his stomach was all condensed in his throat...
I untied a small cloth bag tied to the waistband of my pants and handed it to Wang Zhenjiang, who took it and swept it with his hand and said: Big brother, this thing of gold is really useless to me, I don't even have a home... You left me well and waited for the little devil to fight away later, if I am still alive to come back with you! Moving his head by Wang Zhenjiang's words, he sighed: "I already knew that you wouldn't want it, and I didn't know what this party and that car were, just to see you drilling in the big forest and hanging your head on your pants belt and doing it with the little devil." As a Chinese, I just admire your backbone! If I can have such a friend as you in this life, even if I die, it is worth it!
Wang Zhenjiang noticed that there was a poignant breath between the eyebrows of the head, and thought to himself, if the head is a soldier, he will definitely become a general who commands thousands of troops and horses...
The next day, he sent Wang Zhenjiang all the way to the ridge. When he was about to break up, he opened the bag in his hand and shook open the new cotton jacket that Wang Zhenjiang had tried to wear, saying: "Take off the cotton jacket on your body and replace it with this, don't say put it on the old and new." No matter when you can't forget such a big brother as me!" Wang Zhenjiang changed into a new cotton jacket and cherished his head, and yiyi shook his hand and walked into the primeval forest that covered the sky...
Wang Zhenjiang did not find the troops but was found and arrested by the Japanese puppet army, and then he and many of the arrested ordinary people were taken to a stuffy tank truck and pulled elsewhere to do labor. Wang Zhenjiang worked as a laborer for several months, and it seemed that the qingming had passed, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter day by day. At noon, Wang Zhenjiang took off his cotton jacket and wanted to pull out the cotton inside and turn it into a jacket to wear. He tugged and tugged outside, his fingers touching a hard thing and touching it again, and he felt its weight, and without looking, he knew: it was a piece of gold! His heart was hot to see that no one was paying attention, so he carefully squeezed the cotton jacket. Found three pieces of gold the size of a finger belly, and more than a dozen golden beans...
One day, two puppet soldiers returned from work with Wang Zhenjiang and more than a dozen other laborers, and Wang Zhenjiang stepped out of the queue: "Report to the boss, I want to go to the toilet!" Fuck, lazy donkey on the sleeve, either shit or pee! A puppet soldier followed Wang Zhenjiang with a big gun and a scolding grin. When he came to the latrine at the bend, Wang Zhenjiang did not go in, but turned around and handed a golden bean to the puppet army: "Boss, you look at this!" The puppet army did not know what it was that carelessly took over... Hey? Heavy, gold? The puppet army's eyes widened widely. He still seemed a little disbelieving and put it in his mouth and bit it with his teeth, then immediately put the gold in his pocket and said, "What's the matter?" It's all Chinese a convenience! The puppet army thought for a moment and tilted its head and said, "That... What about another brother?"
Wang Zhenjiang spread out his palms and two pieces of gold with large fingers in front of the puppet army, and the puppet army's eyes immediately bulged like bean bags, and his mouth stuttered: "All Chinese... In fact...... Brothers also eat for mixed rice..."
Wang Zhenjiang put the gold in the hands of the puppet army, thinking that if this guy didn't know how to lift, he would kill him, anyway, either you die or I live! And the puppet army could not have dreamed that gold would fall from the sky, he held a gun in one hand and a pocket with the other for fear that the gold would grow wings and fly, "You are fine." So many laborers, not a few will die one day!"
Wang Zhenjiang crossed several alleys and hurriedly strolled along an avenue, and after a while he disappeared...
After the liberation of the whole country, Wang Zhenjiang once went to the place where he was panning for gold, and he also inquired about the unknown gold ruler in many ways, but he never knew his whereabouts. In the dream, Wang Zhenjiang had seen the golden head more than once, his eyes that could not tolerate half a bit of sand were still as sharp as a falcon, and there were some faintly shining things that appeared in the dream at the same time as the head, perhaps, that is gold...
