Chapter 58: The Desolate Ghost
Wang Shangshi had a half-night fright, and Jiang Guning almost died in the desert ditch.
Since the pig pulling incident ended, the prestige of Jiang Guning, Jia Fang, Hu La and others in the four villages and eight forts of Yenu Town was like a day in the sky, the loan from the pig farm in the credit union was unusually smoothly transferred to the account, and the arrears of the village group were unexpectedly well collected. Like the villagers, he began to harvest corn and plough the land, preparing to plant wheat. Although Jiang Guning's family only had three and a half acres of land, he also made some efforts, pulled the manure, put on the fertilizer, rake the ground again, and prepared to plant it. However, just a few days after his birthday, Jing Huan pulled himself to the train to Datong, Shanxi, to deal with the aftermath of The Honesty.
According to Jiang Guning's original intention, he was absolutely unwilling to get involved in this matter. The gossip of the villagers, the anti-thief-like eyes of the two brothers, and Jing Huan's almost crazy pursuit made it difficult for Jiang Guning to face calmly. However, since the news of the accident in the mine came back, Jing Huan went to him and asked him to deal with the aftermath.
Jiang Guning knows that if there is an accident in the mine, the mine will definitely lose money, and once the money is involved, the honest parents and two younger brothers will certainly not lose their hands, get it badly, and they will not be able to fall well after their own efforts. Sure enough, just when Jing Huan was preparing to look for Jiang Guning, the two younger brothers of Jing Huan blocked Jing Huan, and one of them said, "My brother borrowed someone else's money through our hands, and we accompanied you to the coal mine to ask for money, and by the way, I repaid the account." One said, "My brother borrowed a few hundred dollars from me!" Jing Huan was washing clothes, listening to the words of the two younger brothers, he couldn't help but feel angry, and said: "Hmm, at home, even The hammer is in my hands, I have a few pieces of money and a few corners, can your porcelain hammer brother borrow your money?" She took the dirty water in the basin and was about to splash it, but hesitated, and finally did not splash it, and it was inevitable that there would be a fight, but the honest two brothers scolded her for losing her star, which made her heartbroken.
The two younger brothers had just left, and their parents came with a humming cough. Seeing Jing Huan, he didn't say much, just said: "We are still counting on honest pension to send the final mile, honestly gone, the money of the life price..." Jing Huan saw that the in-laws came, originally wanted to let a seat, discuss things, did not expect the in-laws to talk about other people's families, there were no tears, just thinking about money, the heart became more and more irritable, and said with a cold face: "You are not giving birth to a baby!" You two can still move now, what's the hurry? Besides, honestly gone, the sky in my house has collapsed! After that, the female baby who feeds the mile! ”
Honest parents are honest people, jinghuan three sentences of questions can not answer the words, but, humming twitter, grinding and rubbing is not going, so that Jinghuan can not do, in-laws are honest parents, deal with the affairs of people's sons, do not let others mix is always bad, but also patience, and consult with the in-laws. Honest parents are people who have never even been to the county seat, what can be the cure?
At this time, Jingmiao came, and Jinghuan told Jingmiao his thoughts. Although Jingmiao has not handled major matters, he has stayed in the county town and has a wide vision. Jing Miao said, "Now the mine owner is very refined, and no one with a lot of courage and eyes can't fight at all." Moreover, it is not okay to have fewer people going, and the mine owners are not afraid. ”
Jing Huan thought, it is best for the in-laws and mother-in-law to go, it is the son of the family who is dead, and it is necessary to compensate, it is natural and righteous, and no matter how crooked the people in the mine are, they can't be crooked. But the in-laws are old, can't stand the toss, and are honest farmers who can't be honest anymore, have not dealt with outsiders, three sentences are wordless, and then go by themselves, who is the little girl entrusted to! That, the people close to them are left with two honest brothers, although they have bad intentions and only want to get money in their hearts, but they are also honest relatives, and these two have crooked talents, but they are also a helper, but only the three of them can't do it, and they have to see the world to be able to take things, originally Jingmiao went to the best, but Jingmiao just said, he is a public family, and the impact of mixing into this matter is not good. Then, the more suitable person is only Jiang Guning. From a private point of view, she only believed in Jiang Guning, and besides, Jiang Guning was the village chief, and Yu Gong was also reasonable. Jing Huan told Jing Miao his thoughts, and Jing Miao also thought it was feasible. Jing Huan summoned his two younger brothers and told him his plans in front of his parents. Honest parents and the two brothers listened to Jing Huan's explanation of the reason and agreed. Jing Huan went to find Jiang Gu Ning.
Jiang Guning did not want to agree at first, but thinking of Jing Huan's affection for himself, looking at Jing Huan's miserable and pleading eyes, and the two younger brothers who were honest and honest went with him, as soon as their hearts softened, they agreed.
The next day, Jing Huan threw the female doll to Jiao Lao's mother, and Jiang Guning and Jiao Lao's two younger brothers took a train to Datong, Shanxi. Jiang Guning and his party sat on the train, four people with four hearts, talking about gossip that was not salty and not talking, Jiang Guning looked at Jing Huan and the two younger brothers of Zhen Honesty, and felt that the relationship between people and people was sometimes really weird, and the two younger brothers who were honest and honest usually regarded themselves as thieves, and saw that their noses were not noses, and their eyes were not eyes, and now they were willing to offer themselves as gods for money. Jing Huan, none of the two eyes saw the two younger brothers who were honest, but in order to help, they now regarded the two brothers who were honest and honest as capable generals. He had originally loved Jing Huan so much that he wanted the two of them to glue into a lump, but this time he finally sat together in a bright and honest manner, but he did not have the original impulses, and vaguely felt that there were still some raw points...
Jing Huan, sitting next to Jiang Guning, at first there was a hint of excitement, and finally sat side by side with her beloved, Jiang Guning's rough and thick manly breath made her intoxicated, but somehow, Jing Huan suddenly felt that she was suddenly a little timid, watching Jiang Guning and The two brothers of Zhen Honest had a ride and gossiped, feeling as if jiang Guning was an outsider, as if Jiang Guning had become somewhat unfamiliar with himself. Thinking about the recent hearing that someone introduced his wife to Jiang Guning, my heart became uneasy. She thought, no, after going back this time, we must make the words clear with Jiang Guning and get things done! Honestly, now she's free! Jing Huan looked up at Jiang Gu Ning, and it just so happened that Jiang Guning also inadvertently looked at her, jing huan's heart was beating wildly, and his face was also a little feverish.
In this way, along the way, the four people each thought about their own thoughts, arrived at the Datong Railway Station, got off the train, and asked about the Nan'ao Coal Mine, and they had to take a car for five or six hours. By car to a town, four people ate at a roadside food stall and hired a "ground mouse" car that specialized in pulling people to the coal mine.
Tianma wiped black and arrived at the dimly lit South Ao Coal Mine.
The coal mine is in a mountain pass. The coal mine has two mining inlets. The top cliff layers of both mining ports are cracked, each supported by two wooden pillars. The mining mouth is like the mouth of the devil's bottle, and from time to time a minecart filled with coal comes out of the rail of the mining mouth, and is dragged by an iron rope to the top of the coal pile, and the two miners who follow the minecart exert a force, and the coal in the minecart pours out and rolls down from the top of the coal pile, and a stream of coal powder soars into the sky and floats in the ravine.
This is the gray world. Gray heaven, gray earth, gray houses, gray trees, gray air, even people are gray and not slippery. The gray all comes from the flying coal powder.
It was strange to meet a few people. Miners, dressed in overalls and wearing mine hats, with thin yellow skin and gray face and white teeth, came down from the cable car at the wellhead and approached head-on. One of the miners took off their hats, patted the soot on their hats, and said, "Drink fucking wine, find a lady to put the fire on her body, and tomorrow when you go down the well, you can't come up alive again." ”
(About 100 words are omitted here)
A man walked in front of him, with a fat head and big ears, and a bulging belly, like a big basin buckled. The clothes on his body were clean, and there was a thick gold chain hanging from his neck, and it was clear at a glance that he was the owner of the coal mine. But the face is somewhat abominable, the eyes are oblique, the nose is crooked, and the mouth is still a little twitchy.
A flock of crows flew overhead, "Whoa-whoa-whoa-wah- whoa" and kept shouting, and the sound was extremely sad and desolate. In the eyes of the locals, the crows cried out, and the fierceness was more auspicious, and it was either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. A few of them had just arrived at the gate of the coal mine, and a security guard came over on a horse with a slanted horse, stared at his wary eyes and asked, "What did a few of you do?" ”
Jiang Guning told him what had happened.
"Just wait here for the people in charge of this in the mine," the security guard said as he entered the door.
After a while, the security guard came out and said, "Go, you guys will go to the canteen of the mine for a meal first, and then I'll take you to collect the money first." ”
Jiang Guning was overjoyed, and still managed the rice, is it good, so he asked the security guard: "How much money?" ”
The security guard said, "It's about 100,000 yuan, I can't say for sure." You know it as soon as you get it. ”
Jiang Guning muttered in his heart: This money is very good to receive, and the people outside are pure nonsense.
Jiang Guning took out a cigarette and gave it to the security guard, saying, "Can you take the money first and then eat, it will be dark for a while." ”
The security guard did not answer the cigarette and said, "Don't worry, the person who withdrew money from the bank is walking on the road." ”
Jiang Guning and his party were absent-mindedly eating a few bites of food in the gray and damp canteen, and it was dark, and the security guards did not know where they went.
Jiang Guning said to Jing Huan, "Don't run around when you sit, tell me and the two of you to look for security guards." ”
The security guard came over and said, "The car that went to the bank to withdraw money was in a car accident on the road, and we have to wait." ”
"How long do you have to wait?"
"How long you have to wait to deal with a car accident. A few of you sit here first, and the car that withdraws the money comes back and I call. ”
They sat in the dining room, waiting and waiting, an hour passed, did not see the security guard call, two hours passed, did not see the security guard. Three hours have passed and there is still no news. As the longer they waited, the more anxious the hearts of several people became, as if they were fried. Jing Huan's body couldn't support it anymore, and he crawled on the table and snoozed. Jiang Guning looked at his watch, it was already three o'clock in the middle of the night, the fire in his stomach was about to attack, and He Zhongshi couldn't bear it any longer, and said to a security guard who was walking in: "What ghost trick are you doing?" Say to collect money, leave people here and leave them alone! If you deceive, I'll sue you tomorrow morning!" ”
The security guard looked at the angry Zhongshi, and the other security guard who came over muttered for a while, saying, "You don't shout anymore, follow me to get the money." ”
Jiang Guning will be suspicious, where to go to get money in the middle of the night? It is also possible that the cash cart has just returned, did not say the words of doubt, and signaled the three people with their eyes to follow the security guard out of the dining room.
Out of the dining room door, the security guard walked toward the field.
Got money and didn't go to the office, went out into the wild? Jiang Guning had doubts in his heart again.
"Where to collect money?" Jiang Guning asked the security guard.
The security guard said: "Go to the place where you collect the money to get the money, go or not?" If you don't go to the money, you won't go! ”
The two younger brothers who were honest and honest rushed forward, but Jiang Guning and Jing Huan felt that something was not quite right, where there was a matter of receiving money in the middle of the night, although they were suspicious, they still followed the security guards.
The night was gray, like fog. The mountains in front of you look shadowy and vague in the night. During the day, people sit on the car and sweat, and at night, when they enter the ravine, the cool mountain wind in the ravine blows on the person's body, which is very comfortable. But after a long time, I felt a wind that swept into my bones, making my body cold. Wild insects cry in unison. There were rubble and weeds everywhere under his feet, smearing and trampling, stumbling. Walking to the mouth of a deep ravine, there were mounds of earth one by one in front of him, and there were rotten wreaths rustled by the night wind, Jiang Guning saw that it was a cemetery, and his heart was shocked, and he said: "Came to the cemetery?" Jing Huan shuddered and clutched Jiang Guning's clothes. The two younger brothers also felt that something was wrong and helped each other forward.
Out of the graveyard, up a hillside, I suddenly heard the barking of dogs, and from the black place rushed out four big men and a big dog. The hearts of Jiang Guning and his party of four people flickered, mentioning the throat eyes, and the hairs also stood up, and they were attacked by a huge sense of terror. Before they could react, the four big men picked up the wooden sticks in their hands and beat Jiang Guning's four people in a flurry of blows, causing the four of them to run around. When Jiang Guning was a soldier, he practiced hand-to-hand combat, facing the wooden sticks of the thugs, hand-framed and kicked, but he also coped calmly. But the honest two younger brothers were different, they were beaten to the nose and bleed, and they howled while stumbling down the hill. Jiang Guning had already knocked down a thug, took advantage of the situation to run down the mountain, just about to run, saw a thug grab Jing Huan's hair and hit Jing Huan, when he climbed up, his blood surged upwards, evil from the guts, touched a fist-sized stone, jumped up, and smashed on the shoulder of the thug. The thug screamed uncontrollably, loosened Jing Huan, and slammed a stick at Jiang Gu Ning. The other two thugs saw that the accomplice had suffered a dark loss, and they did not pursue the two younger brothers who were honest and honest, and turned back to Jiang Guning and surrounded them. Jiang Guning was defeated by one enemy and three, and there was no guy in his hand, only three or five rounds, he was knocked to the ground, Jing Huan saw it, even crying and screaming, pounced on it to help. Jiang Guning shouted, "Leave me alone, hurry up and run back!" While shouting, he grabbed a stone on the ground and threw it at the thug who pounced on the front. Jiang Guning jumped up and pulled Jing Huan down the mountain. Those few thugs, it turned out that they were also ordered by the mine chief to beat Jiang Guning and others away, and when they saw that Jiang Guning had run away, they did not chase after them again. Just bluffing and shouting: "Ask for money again, save your baby here!" ”
Strangely, the whole process, missing the figures of Zhen Chongshi and Zhen Qiang. Jiang Guning pulled Jing Huan, panicked and ran down the mountain, he was running, his feet were tripped by a tree root, and the two people fell to the ground one after the other, just below them was a slope, they couldn't hold back, and their bones rolled down. Rolled for more than a dozen inches, fortunately blocked by a small tree. Jiang Guning first turned over and climbed up, Gu Couldn't help but be full of blood stains on his hands, helped Jing Huan, and groped down the mountain one by one.
The moon that was still dangling just now was suddenly swallowed by the tengu, the night was dark, the mountain road was curved, the trees on both sides of the road were dense and grassy, the jujube thorns were everywhere, the ravines were longitudinal, there was no sense of direction, Jiang Guning and Jing Huan walked more and more confused. Jing Huan was in pain, just now he was in a hurry to escape, full of strength, this time it stopped, it was safe, his heart was loose, his feet hurt and his body was soft, he really couldn't walk, the two people sat down under a stone barrier, huffing and panting, and even had to say nothing. After a while, Jiang Guning's breathing was flat, but he felt that his throat was dry and smoking, and when he looked up, he saw that there was a large and dangling place under the stone ridge, and he bent down and reached out to pull it, which was a pool of spring water. Jiang Guning and Jing Huan couldn't care less about being clean or not, holding the spring water in their hands and grunting and drinking a few sips. The cold spring water penetrated the throat and stomach, and the two people's throats were comfortable, but their bodies trembled involuntarily.
The mountain wind blew stronger and stronger, emitting a harsh scream. Jiang Guning had experience in camping and knew that he could not stay in the mountains at night for a long time, so he said to Jing Huan: "No matter how tired you are, you have to go, and if you don't go, you can go back alive, but you will also fall ill." Jing Huan had already been physically and mentally exhausted by this sudden change and fighting, and when he heard Jiang Guning say this, he struggled to stand up and followed Jiang Guning down the mountain.
Jiang Guning and Jing Huan touched the black and walked in the ravine, walking to the east white, the residual star gradually falling, looking around, Dengshi's legs were weak, and his face was full of despair! It turned out that Jiang Guning and Jing Huan walked in the dark, walked when they saw the road, walked in the middle of the night, and were still in the ravine above the coal mine. Jiang Guning looked at the coal mine at the foot of the mountain, looking at it, the humiliation he had never suffered in his life triggered the instinct of resistance and revenge, the blood in his body began to burn, burning into a raging anger, he gritted his teeth, grinned, the tiger eyes, gathered the entire life force, violently moved the grass cage-sized mountain stone under his feet, pushed down, the mountain stone "rumbled and rumbled", rolled down towards the coal mine. One, two, three... The rolling rocks smashed into the coal mine with Jiang Guning's hatred. Jiang Guning went crazy, moving the mountain stone while scolding: "Donkey Day! brigand! The mine collapsed people to death, did not give money, and let the dogs bite people! Hit! Lao Tzu just died here, and he won't let your gang fool around! ”
The mountain stone smashed on the pole, the pole fell, and the wire emitted a spark of "poof", and the power was cut off. Suddenly, the coal mine had lost a little light. Jiang Guning laughed wildly. Jing Huan didn't know whether he was scared or happy, and his body was shaking.
Jiang Guning suddenly saw the light of the flashlight in the coal mine under the mountain, heard the barking of the dog, and wanted to sit down and rest for a while to enjoy the pleasure of revenge. Just sat for a while, saw a number of flashlights moving in the direction of the mountain, and realized his danger. Jiang Guning pulled Jing Huan aside and said, "Run, the coal mine people have come up." ”
Jing Huan was frightened and tired, and was pulled down on the hillside by Jiang Guning, nudging a few nu, unable to stand up.
The flashlight moved faster and faster in the direction of the top of the mountain, and the barking of the dog became closer and closer, and Jiang Guning helped Jinghuan to sit up and climbed up the mountain with difficulty on his back.
Jiang Guning, who was already sore and sore, had his legs twisted, his feet were on crutches, and then he put Jing Huan on his back, moved a few steps, and fell down, falling into the jujube thorn nest, and his body was pierced with pain. Jiang Guning held his breath and got up, walked out of the jujube thorn nest, and climbed hard. Almost climbing to the top of the mountain road, the figures chasing Jiang Guning and Jing Huan were still faintly visible, and Jiang Guning had a premonition that his death must be unquestionable.
Thinking of this, Jiang Guning used the last bit of strength to put Jing Huan on his back to the edge of the mountain road, and lay down next to Jing Huan like a dead man, almost being run over by a speeding jeep. (Editor-in-charge: Li Peizhan)
