Seeing me backing away, the gang leader smiled slightly and put "that thing" in a plastic bag.
I took a look and saw that there were two large and two small ones, a total of four.
They were bloody, the big ones were as big as local eggs, and the small ones were about the size of quail eggs.
Without anesthesia, Mr. Yang fainted from pain in his back. The gang leader was skillful and used the needle and thread he bought earlier to sew up his wound.
"What? Never seen sewing like this?"
"No, gang leader, have you often done this before? I think you are very skilled at it."
The gang leader took off his glasses, wiped them, and said with a smile: "I have raised pigs before, but actually the job of inciting pigs is almost the same as inciting people. Anyway, this old man won't be able to stand still in the future."
"Let's do it this way. Let's act separately. I'll take Yang Laoyao back to Sansanlipu and let Xiaoxia and Xiao Qinglong meet. We can learn the truth of the matter as soon as possible and clear Mr. Li's innocence."
"How about you two go to Luanchuan to find the man surnamed Wang, talk to him and meet up afterwards?"
I nodded, turned to look at Yang Laoyao, and suddenly thought of a question.
I slapped the person awake and asked, "Are you still alive? You didn't explain it clearly just now. Luanchuan is so big. Where exactly is Wang Yuanjie? In which village? In which mine?"
"Pooh!"
Yang Laoyao's eyes were vicious and he spat at my mouth.
"I can't play with women anymore! It's better to die! You thought I would tell you!"
I wiped my face and slapped him!
Yang Lao's waist didn't cry out that it hurt, but instead laughed loudly! There seemed to be desperation in the laughter.
"Hit me! If you dare, beat me to death now!"
"Let me tell you, that Yuanbao wife, Xiaoxia... is really fun, huh? Ha...!"
The gang leader kicked him at the wound that had just been stitched up. The pain made Lao Yang's waist turn blue and he couldn't laugh anymore.
I said, "Old man, don't be awesome. What kind of good people do you think we are?"
I took out the knife: "You told me, at least you can suffer less, otherwise... I will slit the place where you have been sewn, and put a handful of stones in for you. What do you think?"
Yang Laoyao said with a cold face: "Then come here and I will tell you a person."
I leaned over.
He leaned into my ear and whispered: "I want to play with your mother, does your mother agree?"
I was about to use the knife with a cold face, but Brother Yu grabbed my arm and shook his head, telling me not to be impulsive. This old man is still useful.
Next came the torture, which forced Yang Laoyao to confess.
The gang leader’s methods were cruel, and it’s not convenient for me to talk about the process. Anyway, both men and women were frightened after hearing this.
After struggling until 10:30, Yang Lao couldn't bear it anymore, so he opened his mouth and told where Wang Yuanjie was hiding.
"Luanchuan County, Chengtumiao Stargazing Village Mine." It's roughly in this area.
It was better to choose the day than to hit it. Fearing that Yang Laoyao would die, the gang leader drove a pickup truck overnight and took him back to Sansanlipu. Brother Yu and I notified the boss and Dou Yazai and agreed to meet there.
Although they are both in Luoyang, it would take more than 200 kilometers to find a car from us, and I planned to take a rest on the way.
I found a black car and heard that I was going to Luanchuan. It was a coincidence. The driver of the black car said that a very old cousin of his lived in that area.
I asked if you could help me make an introduction and have someone help guide me?
"Now? At this point?"
I said yes, now.
He said: "My cousin doesn't live in the Star Observation Village, but it's not far away. How much can you give me?"
"Cash, how about a thousand dollars?"
He agreed and contacted his old cousin on the spot, who said he could wait for us there.
Those who had never been to Luanchuan back then would not know how chaotic it was.
In addition to Guanxing Village, I can just mention a few places, Mayin Village, Mayan Village, Yangshan Village, Sanliqiao Village, Changzhuang Village, etc. There are countless mines of various sizes. These mines are new in the past year or two, and the old ones are There are ones from the Song Dynasty and those from the Ming Dynasty. There are at least a thousand of them.
There are also many illegal mining activities in Liuzigan, because there are gold mines, silver mines, iron mines, molybdenum mines, lead mines, manganese mines, etc.
Due to inconvenient transportation, trucks cannot enter the mountains. Many mining sites still use the most primitive transportation method, relying on manpower and horse teams.
Wang Yuanjie works as a transporter in a horse team and has no fixed address, so even Know-It-All cannot find him.
I slept for a while and was woken up by the car.
When I rolled down the car window, it was dark and full of trees. The road was very bad and I couldn't see a single person.
"Where is this? We are going to the Stargazing Village."
"We'll be there just ten miles further. My cousin should be waiting for you."
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, there was indeed a man in his 40s waiting on time, squatting and smoking.
This man walked with a slight limp on his right foot. It was later found out that his leg was broken by a stone when he was working in the mine five years ago. After he recovered, he could no longer do heavy work and relied entirely on his previous savings.
The driver of the black car only took the fare and the introduction fee of 1,000 yuan. He didn't ask for any of it and gave it all to this man. They exchanged a few words and the driver left.
"What do you call me, brother? Here." I handed him a good cigarette.
"My surname is Lin, just call me Lao Lin."
He didn't smoke. He put the cigarette to his ear and said, "You guys were introduced by my old cousin. Tell me what kind of mine you want to do? Ferromolybdenum or crystal or white jade? I can help, but it costs two thousand." Yuan benefit fee.”
I was stunned and realized that he had misunderstood and mistook Brother Yu and me as mine thieves.
I asked out of curiosity: "Old Lin, you said there are crystal and jade mines in your area?" This was something I didn't know before.
He briefly explained it to me.
It turns out that they have high-quality crystal mines here, which are not even worse than the crystals from the East China Sea. However, because they were mined late, their reputation has not spread, and many people don't know about it.
The white jade he mentioned is actually not completely white jade.
The year before last, in July 2003, a local man named Chang found a kind of skinned jade in the Yihe River, which is across from Mendunling Mountain. After peeling off the skin, it was white or green, and the white looked like Hetian white jade. It's green like jade. Since it didn't have a name before, it was named "Yi Yuanyu."
Let me break the news.
In those years, many people made fake skin out of the newly discovered Yiyuan jade, opened a small window, and sold it as ice-grown high-green jadeite rough.
Nowadays, there are still some so-called "stone gambling live broadcast rooms" selling this kind of stone on the Internet. After more than ten years of development, their counterfeiting technology has become better, and they can make the unique "pine flower" of jade on the skin of Yiyuan jade. , "python belt", "black moss".
When you shine the flashlight, what you see with the naked eye is exactly what jade looks like!
I don’t know how many people were fooled, but women were the most fooled, because I heard the anchor shout in the live broadcast room: "Congratulations to my sister Xiaocao! Congratulations to my sister Duoer! Congratulations to my sister Yuanyuan! 150,000! Hi! A piece of Houjiang rough stone! This stone has a bracelet position! It’s going to go up in value!”
I typed that you were fooled, but as a result, I was immediately kicked out by the male anchor.
There are also crystal mines in Luanchuan, which can produce white crystal, hair crystal, hibiscus species, green ghost, etc.
After 2006, they blocked the information and kept it very mysterious. It was said that it was monopolized by a "family surnamed Zhao" and was not sold to the outside world. They are all dug out from here, polished, and sold in Donghai, Jiangsu. From Donghai, they are sold to jewelry stores across the country.
The net profit is not that big.
Just a few billion.
...
At the entrance of Guanxing Village, I smoked a cigarette and said, "Old Lin, although we have just met, I think you are a real person. You ask me for money when we meet. I like you like this."
Lao Lin also smoked and smiled and said: "Yes, we are all real people. If we have enough money, we can do anything. Let's put it bluntly."
"Okay, then I'll just tell you."
"I want to sneak into the transport horse team on this mountain and find someone who can help?"
He frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, two thousand and five thousand."
"Okay, Brother Yu, I don't have enough money on me. You have some more, give it to him."
After counting the money, Lao Lin said, "The money is just right. You can go back with me first."
"Going to your house? Why don't you go up the mountain?" I said.
"It's not possible now. How can you leave in the dark?"
I said there is a flashlight.
"Flashlights won't work either. There are people out in the wild mines on the mountain, and they all have guns. If you are seen without saying hello, you might be shot with one shot."
"Wait until daybreak. At daybreak I will go find someone to pick you up and see if I can send you two into the cavalry team."
"You don't have a mobile phone? Can't you make a call?"
"That's useless. There is no signal in many places on the mountain."
There was no other way, Brother Yu and I had no choice but to go to his house with Lao Lin.
I was anxious because I was afraid that Wang Yuanjie would run away if he heard the news.
When he arrived at his house, Lao Lin knocked on the door twice, and soon a middle-aged woman opened the door. This woman's face was sallow and her hair was dull.
After leading us into the house, I patted Brother Yu.
I saw a little girl with a very big head sitting in a wooden toy car.
It's a bit scary when you look at it fiercely.
The little girl looks about ten years old. Her head is round and very big. Capillaries can be clearly seen on her forehead, like a basketball.
Lao Lin said helplessly: "I didn't scare you, did I? This is my daughter. When my wife was pregnant, she used to work in the mines with me. She was poisoned by heavy metal lead. She was like this after the child was born. She is still not alive even after she is eleven years old. He can walk, but he has no intelligence.”
After saying that, Lao Lin squatted down in front of the wooden cart with some sadness, took out a small rattle, shook it twice, and the big-headed doll immediately laughed.
After hearing the sound of the rattle, my body reflexively moved back, and Brother Yu grabbed me.
The big-headed doll got behind the rattle, smiled, looked at me happily, and shook the rattle back and forth with both hands.
This bang bang bang sound immediately reminded me of that person.
I just don’t know if he is doing well now.
