Quincy's Quiet Contemplation Chapter 67

People have always come to find gold in the Jiguan Mountain area. They used to dig and sift through the rivers at the foot of the mountain. But after the exploration team from the provincial capital came, they said that the high content of gold was not in the rivers but in Jiguan Mountain. The town government released the Develop policies to absorb external funds for development. Soon, the county government upgraded the town development zone to a county development zone and devoted all the efforts of the county to build Huilong Town into the gold capital of the Qinling Mountains. As a result, explosions continued all day long on Jiguan Mountain, and machines roared everywhere. People from all over the Qinling Mountains also came, shouting: Live a prosperous life, dig for gold! There are more and more buildings in the development zone, and the streets in Huilongwan Town are expanding rapidly at the same time. There are people running all kinds of businesses and people with different roles. The streets extend towards the development zone like vines, and the shops on both sides open every day. There is a new store opening, and firecrackers are going off.

It is true that many people have become rich. There are more cars on the street, more people wearing suits, more drunk and showy women, and more people have lost their lives trying to get rich. I am often a member of this family. Before the Yin Song ended, another person who invited me arrived at the door. Lao Yu bumped into me and said: Singer, you are right to listen to me, right? I said: There are too many people dying. He said: Do you think there are too many bun sellers buying buns? ! You need to give me some money, singer! He laughed loudly and said: I don't share your dead money, so you have to treat me to a drink!

Lao Yu really came to my place to drink whenever he had free time. He bought the wine from a store diagonally opposite my place. Sometimes he took one bottle, sometimes two bottles, but he kept it all on credit. He told the store: The singer will come and tie the knot!

It was in this store that something happened half a month later. There was a knock on the door in the middle of the night. The store owner opened the door and saw two young men saying they wanted to buy wine, cigarettes, instant noodles, and a sack. The store asked why I bought so much? Young people say they are afraid of not being able to pay, but there is plenty of money! He took out a large pile from his pocket. The next day, the store owner was counting the money to buy goods, but found that all the money given by the young man at night was dirty money. Only then did he realize that he had encountered a ghost, and he transferred the store three days later. The new store owner was introduced by Lao Yu. He didn't tell them the reason for the transfer of the store. On the opening day, he specially set off firecrackers and brought a dynamite bun to explode at the door. The sound cracked my window paper. .

After the opening, Lao Yu came to my house for a drink and asked: Are there really ghosts in this world? I said: If there were no ghosts, what kind of singer would I be? He drank too much and said with red eyes: Let me see where the ghost is. I said: You can’t see the dead ghosts, but there are so many living ghosts in Huilongwan Town that they could trip you up. He said: Living ghost? ! I said: Isn’t there a saying that living ghosts are making trouble in the world? He said: Are all the troublemakers living ghosts? You are making trouble in the world, and I am also making trouble in the world. Who is going back and forth to Longwan Town who is not making trouble in the world? I said: Then we are all living ghosts. We were both drunk at this time. He asked me to tell me where I was from, who I was, and how long I had been going back and forth to Longwan Town. Of course I didn't tell him the truth. He boasted about his life experience, and I found out that his father was the director of the County People's Congress. More importantly, his father was the nephew of the brother-in-law of Commander Easton Kuang. This brother-in-law He is also the deputy director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. Before he was completely drunk, Lao Yu said: I have the conditions to make political progress. Don't treat dried beans as solid food. Believe it or not, singer, you can only sing negative songs! I said: I believe it, you have a bright future! But he slipped off the table and collapsed on the ground like mud, silent.
