Tales from the Golden Platform Chapter 5

The donkey girl just sighed as she thought about it.

The brother in the barn also sighed in his dream, sighing at the golden field, sighing at the woman, sighing at the mountains and rivers. The ancient gold field is full of yinshan and soft water, like a woman, like a girl, always covered with fog, always hiding treasures, always unwilling to raise her head - she is waiting for others to deliver the tokens to her arms. , once someone brought it, they would be timid and shy, refusing to take off the veil for a long time. Even, out of timidity, she would use the desolate wind and cold, and the seemingly great mist of sky, clouds and earth to mercilessly pull up a bloody barrier, intimidating and refusing others to approach.

In the trance-like state of the dream, the brother in the barn mixed Gu Jinchang and the donkey girl together and couldn't separate them no matter what. After a while, even I changed and turned into a steep mountain, being shaken by the strong wind. The wind was roaring, people were shouting, and his face was burning. He struggled to open his eyes, his eyelids were sticky and he couldn't see clearly who was standing under the edge of the bed. The man reached out and slapped him again. Brother Gugang woke up completely and stood up suddenly, only to realize that Bruno Zhang had slapped him back into this cruel world.

"Enemies! Enemies! I won't be willing to die until you die in my hands!"

Bruno Zhang's eyes were on fire, he roared in a terrifying tone, and was about to hit someone again, but the one who got hit was the trembling donkey girl. Brother Guang angrily jumped under the kang, raised his fist and punched Bruno Zhang on the chest, but the one who really felt the pain was himself, and he forgot about the wound on his right hand. Bruno Zhang didn't pay attention to his anger at all. He turned around and tore the donkey girl's hair: "You can't raise a wild man to the head of a barn man. Is he a human? Do you think he is a human?"

The donkey girl stuck her teeth out of her lips in pain, and rolled her eyes upwards, covering up her black eyes and beauty, and her aura and beauty. She nodded vigorously, and Bruno Zhang slapped her again. Twist the donkey girl's neck. The brother in the barn held his right hand and almost fell to the ground with a scream. He hurriedly regained his balance and ran towards the door. He knew that Bruno Zhang's majesty was just for show. If he stayed for one more minute, the donkey girl would be tortured for one more minute and undergo several more uglier and more violent transformations. To his surprise, outside the door, many barn people stood silently, like some of his guards. He shouted: "What are you doing here?" They came for revenge, but they didn't expect that the people from Weizi would arrive here with them. At this moment, everyone in the crowd squeezed and lined up, forming a semicircle around them. Brother Carter asked his guys again: "What are you doing here?"

"Kill her, she is a woman from a circle of people." Someone said.

"He should be killed, that beast."

He roared and walked forward angrily, and the barn man followed him suddenly. The people around the circle split into two halves and made way for a path in the middle.

"Bah!" Marshall Shi stood in the crowd and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm towards his brother in the barn.

Brother Carter stopped and glared at him, his nose trembling with anger, but he was rushed away by his fellows. Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, they consider themselves heroes.

On this day, the first thing Brother Gugang did after returning to his gang was to go straight to the Tanggut Gorge to intercept Theo Zhou, who was escaping with the money. He understood that Theo Zhou was the best helper to repay the blood debt from the people of Weizi. It was the first time for the other guys to enter the gold field, and their temperaments had not been transformed by the wasteland. They were the easiest to be angered and the easiest to retreat.

Theo Zhou had a lot of gold in his pocket and did not dare to rush on his way in a hurry. It was too dangerous. When he met the experienced Jinyouzi, he knew at a glance that if he was not a thief, he must be a person who had made a fortune. Robbery of a lone gold digger, who in all likelihood was carrying gold, could be done almost openly in the old gold fields. People who see a robbery generally only appreciate the robbery or participate in the robbery themselves, but never step forward to stop the robbery. Theo Zhou pretended to be abandoned and embarrassed, walking swaying. When he met people, he would approach them and say hello, asking them if they wanted a sand baby. When people saw his emaciated appearance, they would naturally wave to him to leave quickly. People with a better attitude will sometimes advise: "Go back! The gold farm is not a place for people to make a living, and no one wants to hire a sand baby that falls apart. By then, the sand you dug will not be enough to bury you." "

He sighed a few times and left dejectedly. After walking and walking like this, we were still far away from the entrance of Tanggute Gorge, so we were chased by the gang brother and a few people. Brother Carter told him that he didn’t want that thing anymore, but he had to go back with him. It's not easy for Brother Gu to talk about the big gold because it's in the way of others. But Theo Zhou understood. He asked what he was doing back. The brother in the barn said dullly: "Kill!"

The corner of Theo Zhou's mouth twitched, and his face suddenly looked very proud: "You are thinking of me when you do such a thing? How can I kill people? No, no---can."

The brother in the barn snorted and threatened: "Be careful, we will dump you here and beat you to pieces. You will get nothing."

Among the people who came with the brother in the barn was a young man named Li Changjiu. His clever eyes were looking back and forth on their faces to get to the bottom of things. He had already had doubts about Theo Zhou's sudden departure, and after listening to their conversation and riddles, he stepped forward and said, "Why are you leaving? Take off your pants and let me see if you still have the ability to walk out of the Tanggute Gorge."

Brother Carter glared at him. He thought this was a hint and was about to take action. Theo Zhou said quickly: "Forget it! I won't bother you. As long as you offend me, I will kill someone."

He looked at Li Jiujiu with a chuckle, as if these words were meant for Li Jiujiu. The brother in the barn pushed Li Changjiu and said, "Let's go, I'll make you pick off the man's trousers."

In the birch forest by the Jiling River, the barn people started to set off towards the Golden Platform after some noisy discussions. They moved forward with the wind, and their bodies were suddenly lifted up by a huge irreversible force from the sky. They were flying forward and backward under the enthusiastic encouragement of the birch forest. As we were about to walk out of the birch forest, the sound of the wind became distant and clear, whistling. The barn brother who was walking at the front suddenly stopped, squinted for a while, and shouted: "Catch the spies!"

Theo Zhou and several astute barn people had also seen a head behind the sparse shadows of trees not far away, with the hair on the head dancing in the wind like thatch. They shouted and ran over, like famished beasts chasing a weak creature. The strong wind was disturbed by them and made a strange sound. As the sound disappeared, the spy became the food of the barn people. When people escorted him to his brother in the barn, he had been tied into a trembling ball of human flesh.

"hang up!"

Theo Zhou blinked a pair of rat eyes and quickly admonished him. Seeing that the brother in the barn was silent, he immediately took action.

The spy was hung upside down in a tree. The earth is affectionate, attracting his arms, hands, hair, eyes and flesh all over his body. His body was naked, and in an instant, the green-headed midges that came with the wind were ecstatic on top, singing and flying up and down. And on his calf, which was tightened by the hemp rope, the skin and flesh were cracking, gradually revealing the bloody and white bones. Next to it is the Jiling River. Looking from the water, he looks like a man walking on white clouds and the sky. He screamed loudly and lowly, but the rough sound of wind, water, and forest waves filtered his miserable screams into horrifying laughter.

The barn man admired it proudly. Their killing game was done easily and naturally, without any uneasiness or heaviness at all. Even when the brother in the barn remembered that he had killed a dog in his hometown and tried to relive the slight sadness at that time, he couldn't help but let out a hoarse laugh, which made people tremble and tremble. numb.

The team started to move forward again. The birch forest was far away and the golden platform was close. The sky wind suddenly turned and turned into a magical big bag, rushing back and forth above the head. After a while, the bag fell to the ground, dumping a crowd of people flowing like ink in front of the barn people. They came in a hurry after hearing about the fight on the Golden Platform. The leader, a man with a beard, came over to stop the barn man. He glanced left and right and recognized who was the shopkeeper. He stared at it: "I heard that the people in the area drove you away?" Seeing the brother in the barn nodding, he shook his head nonchalantly, "The earth platform has been barren for thousands of years. Don't fight for it. There is nothing."

"If there is gold, you can pick it up by bending down."

"really?"

"Isn't it true that the people in Weizi want to occupy it to open up wasteland and cultivate the land to support their wives?"

This is the question that concerns all the gold diggers who flock to the ancient gold fields in the summer. If there is competition, there will be drama, and if there is drama, there will be gold. In fact, they had already prepared to seize the golden stage. Even if they don't meet the barn people, they will think that the sudden strong wind is God encouraging them to participate in a life and death struggle.

"Golden Terrace is not a private land. It is God's territory and everyone has a share. We cannot let them monopolize the good gold."

Brother Gugang remained silent and looked hesitantly at the surging crowd behind the man. He suddenly became frightened and asked, "What do you want?"

The bearded man asked, "What do you want?"

"Not good." Brother Carter realized that these people were here to steal their jobs.

"Don't you want to go to the gold platform to pick up gold?"

"It's nothing, I'm just joking!"

"On a windy day, we pulled up a team to walk through the gold field. Is it Gawawa playing a trick?"

Brother Carter was a little confused. The bearded man patted him on the shoulder: "Man, Xiaodujichang is not a serious digger, you will suffer a loss."

The two teams merged and suddenly grew into a raging torrent. Moreover, this torrent is still growing, and new teams are coming from all directions along the way. They had the same wish: if it weren't for the temptation of big gold, there wouldn't be a fight for it. The big gold belongs to everyone, and neither the people in the circle nor the people in the barn can take it. As long as I can get a share, I can say anything. It's okay to throw blood, and it's okay to kowtow and bow. As long as you have gold in your heart, you can hit people with your hands, bend your knees, curse people with your mouth, and call your mother when you open your mouth.

The wind roared and the sky roared, and the advance of thousands of people was like the insertion of thousands of steel knives. People's wildness and brute force, as well as their emotions of possession and revenge, turned into a heavy canopy, and they moved excitedly towards the golden platform. The golden stage suddenly became small.

Just when the barn people were preparing to avenge their shame, there was a peaceful atmosphere with smoke curling up on the flat ground at the entrance of the stone kiln on the west slope of Golden Terrace.

People from Weizi who have returned from Sekiling River are eating. The person in charge of food gave them a large pot of thick white water flakes. Each of them scooped out an iron bowl, and a group of seven and eight squatted on the ground, concentrating on scooping the food into their mouths. While eating, Song Nolan Ning sneezed and produced five golden flowers. The people in front of him were startled and all looked up at him. Song Nolan Ning put the bowl on the ground, slapped his thighs to cheer himself, and then sang: "One sneeze, the family is asleep,

Two sneezes, I miss you so much,

Three sneezes made the whole bed jump. 】

This is the "Sneeze Song" of the people of Weizi. I don't know what year or month it started. Anyway, it is the legacy of our ancestors: from ancient times to the present, the men in Weizi Village have been constantly going out to make a living, leaving their wives alone to guard the empty house. , a man's worries are as long as the road under his feet. Someone caught a cold on the way and was sneezing all day long. In order to comfort himself, he said that his wife at home missed him, and she missed him so much that she felt like she was dying. Others thought this statement was good and accepted it. Over time, it became a local custom. That year, Wang Renhou followed Bruno Zhang to the gold market for the first time. He was away from home for three months and didn't sneeze, so he thought his wife was not thinking about him. His wife has good facial features and a naturally fair complexion. She is considered a figure among the women in Weizi Village. He was proud of this, but he was always on guard, fearing that those thieves would take advantage of his absence to soften her heart with sweet words. No one can fathom a woman's heart. As soon as the association was dismissed, he became furious and cursed: "You have raised a husband who is so wild-minded that you don't care whether your man is dead or alive outside. He deserves a beating!" Bruno Zhang patiently comforted him and said, "Your wife is If anyone dares to bully my sister, I will go back and kill him." Wang Renhou believed what he said and nodded gratefully. Of course, Wang Renhou was more fortunate that his wife and Bruno Zhang were cousins. No matter how many women Bruno Zhang had S3x with, he always kept a distance from his wife. That time when he broke into the gold market, Wang Renhou only made three cents of gold, but thinking about his wife made him gain a few wrinkles and turn his hair thousands of gray. After finally returning home safely, his wife was beaming with joy as she brought him water, poured tea, and kneaded dough for cooking. However, he remained silent with a cold face. When he had eaten, he whipped Wai La (a kind of short-hand instrument used for tutoring). A few wild men came to the house to torture the wife. The woman burst into tears and kept saying, "No." Naturally, he didn't believe it: "No? Then why don't you miss me?" "I did. I thought of black when I was white, and I thought of white when I was black; I wanted to stop crying. Legs. Wasn't it me who had walked on that wasted road at the entrance of the village?" Wang Ren's anger had mostly disappeared, but he still didn't believe it. He held his wife in his arms and questioned her carefully at night, trying to trick her, but he couldn't get it. , then asked suspiciously: "You said you missed me, then why didn't I even sneeze?" The daughter-in-law figured out the man and knew that it was time for her to show off her power, so she broke away from his tight embrace. He held his arm and pointed his forehead with his index finger: "Did I tell you not to hit him? It's the donkey's fault if the horse doesn't jump. God didn't give you a life of sneezing. I raised my husband and raised a hundred and eight thousand "After that, he turned around and pretended to be angry and ignored him. Life and death depend on fate, even sneezing depends on fate. He could only sigh and admit his misfortune, and hurriedly hugged her, tickling her ribs. She laughed, slapped him (of course not on the face), broke away from him, and suddenly sat up: "Who knows what you did outside, I didn't sneeze, so I don't believe you didn't hunt pheasants." "Wang Renhou sighed again, wiping his tears sadly, and was about to publish a summary of the ups and downs and the ups and downs of life away from home, so that she could understand that the past was a lot of hardship and that she had never enjoyed a single second of happiness. The daughter-in-law rolled into his arms. So bathed in mud and light, the wind is clear and the moon is bright.
