Xie Sanping went to the courtyard and loudly cursed, "Who the hell is that next door? Can't you let me sleep?" Unlocking the door, he pulled the door open and looked outside. Standing outside the door was Hu Liquan, who lived on the mountain west of the village. He was furious and cursed, "Hu Liquan, do you have a grudge against me? You can't even let me sleep peacefully. If you don't want to sleep, go and scratch the southern wall. "Hu Liquan was also angry." Xie Sanping, "he said," What kind of attitude is this? I am here to report the situation to the village leader on duty, but as soon as you open the door you are cursing and swearing. Is this the attitude of a village leader? " "Get lost," Xie Sanping cursed, "If you want attitude, ask your son. I don't owe you a single cent, why should I give you a good attitude? Get lost, get lost! "
"Alright," Hu Liquan said, "I'll get lost. But let me tell you, if something big happens in the village, think about whether you can bear the responsibility or not. Humph. "Finished speaking, he turned around and left. Xie Sanping hastily called him, "Come back, come back. The one surnamed Hu, tell me clearly, what big thing happened? What happened? "" Humph, "Hu Liquan said," Is this how you talk to me? Then I won't tell you. "Xie Sanping laughed and said," Damn it, just look at you. Alright, alright, let me ask you properly. Liquan, tell me, what happened in the village? "" That's more like it, "Hu Liquan said. "Let me tell you, just now someone set off a cannon on our mountain to blow up rocks, the rocks splashed onto our roof."
"Xiaoling Mountain?" Xie Sanping asked. "Exactly!" Hu Liquan said. Xie Sanping said, "That mountain has never been mined, what are you worried about? Alright, alright, quickly go back to sleep. I am so sleepy, I want to go back to sleep. "Finished speaking, without waiting for Hu Liquan to reply, he closed the door and bolted it.
Hu Liquan fiercely kicked the wooden door and resentfully turned around to leave. He glanced at the alley opposite and thought of Li Rui who lived there. He had an idea. Why not report this situation to him? He was the most enthusiastic person and might be able to take care of this matter. Thus, he walked into the alley.
When there was a knock on the door, Li Rui had just fallen asleep. When he woke up, he was angry and puzzled. He didn't know who was knocking on the door, and he didn't know why. He couldn't avoid it, so he could only brace himself and get off the bed to open the door.
When he opened the door and saw Hu Liquan, he was very puzzled and asked, "Why are you here?" Hu Liquan said: "I am here to report the situation to the village committee, but that Xie fellow did not care about me. He only has eyes for sleep. Damn. Will he die if he sleeps less?" Li Ruixin said. It was fine for him to sleep less, but there was a female director in the courtyard. Of course, he couldn't stop himself from sleeping with her. He didn't point it out and said, "Then why are you looking for me? I'm not a village leader. " Hu Liquan said: "Although you're not a village leader, you're a city leader. You have the authority to manage this kind of thing."
Li Rui forced a smile and said: "I've already explained to you that the city's village leaders don't have the authority to manage your village. You … why don't you look for Party Secretary Wang?" Hu Liquan said: "He's the same as Xie Sanping." Li Rui yawned and said: "I don't have the authority to manage, but what's the matter? You tell me." Hu Liquan then told him about the firecrackers on Xiaoling Mountain.
Li Ruiqi said strangely: "So the big noise just now was coming from Xiaoling Mountain?" Hu Liquan grunted and cursed: "His grandpa. Our house is about to collapse." Li Rui said: "This kind of thing doesn't matter, right? The firecrackers are nothing more than blowing up rocks. What they steal is the country's wealth. It has nothing to do with you. You can just sleep as you wish. The village leaders don't care, why are you so active? "Hu Liquan shouted:" My dear leader, do you think I'm worried about the rocks being stolen? F * ck, what does it have to do with me? I don't care. I'm worried about my family getting hurt when the rocks are blown up. If a random rock rolls down from the hillside and lands on my roof, it could kill someone. F * ck, I don't know where this wicked ghost came from. Blowing up a mountain in the middle of the night, who the f * ck would do that … "
Li Rui heard his complaints and his heart was moved. He suddenly thought of something, but he couldn't accurately capture the details. He stared blankly for a while, then calmed himself down and asked: "You mean, there's no firecracker blowing up rocks at night?" Hu Liquan said: "That's right! Who would blow up firecrackers at night? You can't see anything clearly, it's not convenient to load the car. The most important thing is that it's not safe … "Li Rui subconsciously said:" Then it's possible that it's not blowing up rocks. "Hu Liquan said:" If it's not blowing up rocks, why would it be? For fun? Even if it's for fun, it's not for fun at night. If you're not careful, you could explode, fall, or smash to death. Who wouldn't be afraid of death? "
Li Rui was also puzzled. He racked his brains to think. If it's not blowing up rocks, then what is it? Could it be that the firecracker was just playing around? Who would not sleep at night to go up the mountain to play with firecrackers? The person who could do this was definitely not a normal person, but even a mentally ill person wouldn't do such a complicated and dangerous game. If that's the case, we should be able to rule out the possibility of firecrackers. In other words, this person must have some other purpose for setting up the firecrackers. But what purpose could it be? Other than rocks on the mountain, there was nothing to blow up. Unless there was some treasure hidden in the mountain that could only be blown up by the firecrackers …
Thinking of this, his mind suddenly lit up. A few people's figures flashed across his mind. A middle-aged man appeared in front of him, smiling or angry at him. He shouted: "Aiya, why didn't I think of them? I think it's that group of people. "Hu Liquan was confused and asked:" What group of people? Which group of people? "
Li Rui told him about the few people who claimed to be prospectors when he was picking wild jujubes in the afternoon. At the same time, he explained his doubts: "If they were really prospectors, they wouldn't have to be so sneaky. They were even willing to pay me to leave. Don't you think so?" Hu Liquan said strangely: "Strange, too strange. I grew up on Xiaoling Mountain. I've never heard of any minerals on the mountain. Where did this group of people come from? Why did they go straight to Xiaoling Mountain? "Li Rui thought about the commotion caused by the explosion of the mountain and said:" There must be something fishy going on here. Today, when I was eating with Party Secretary Wang and Director Xie, we were talking about this group of people. Party Secretary Wang and Director Xie went to look for them after eating. I don't know if they found them. "
Hu Liquan said: "Director Li, you've seen the world. What do you think they are doing?" Li Rui frowned: "Looking at the electronic instruments and scanning equipment in their hands, it seems like they really are prospectors. But their actions are not normal. I can't say for sure. " Hu Liquan thought about it and said: "Why don't we go and take a look now and see if they are the ones shooting the firecrackers? If it is really them, we will know what they are doing. "Li Rui nodded slowly and said:" That's a good idea. But they have a lot of people. Should we call a few more people? "Hu Liquan said:" There's no need, right? Are you afraid of fighting with them? Don't be afraid. I can fight. Besides, I have a hatchet at home. " Li Rui laughed: "I'm not afraid of fighting … Alright, it's not appropriate to call anyone in the middle of the night. Then let's go and take a look."
After the two finished discussing, Li Rui drove the car all the way to the west of the village. When they reached the foot of Xiaoling Mountain, the two of them walked up the mountain. They first went to Hu Liquan's house and picked up two sharp hatchet in their hands. They continued to climb up the mountain and climbed halfway up the mountain.
Those who have climbed a mountain before knew that there was more than one mountainside on a mountain. Simply put, as long as it was not at the foot of the mountain or the top of the mountain, any part of the mountain could be called a mountainside. The place where Li Rui picked the wild jujube was the mountainside of the mountain, which was the slope between the top and the foot of the mountain. It was not too far from Hu Liquan's house. The two of them were good young men. Their steps were fast and they arrived very quickly.
The sky was dark and they could not see their own fingers. The whole Xiaoling Mountain was like a huge monster, motionless. It was hard not to feel a sense of awe. If it were not for the special circumstances, nobody would climb up at this time.
Just as they arrived, Li Rui smelled the smell of sulfur from the explosion. He pulled Hu Liquan and said in a low voice: "It's here. There's the smell of explosion. Walk slower and get closer." Hu Liquan said in a low voice: "I smell it too. What the hell are those bastards doing?"
The two of them tiptoed up a few dozen meters. Gradually, they heard the sound of rocks rolling and colliding in front of them. However, it was not continuous. Occasionally there would be a sound, and occasionally there would be no sound. It sounded very strange.
Li Rui could vaguely hear the low voices of people, but he was not sure. He pulled Hu Liquan and bent down. The two of them crept forward sneakily like thieves.
As they got closer, they finally heard the voices of people.
"Hurry up, hurry up. Put in more effort. Who knows when the people from the village will come up. Hurry up!" The one who said this was a voice that Li Rui was very familiar with. It was the middle-aged man who had given him a hundred dollars.
Li Rui's ears perked up when he heard this. He pulled Hu Liquan and squatted on the ground. They did not move anymore.
Another man laughed and said: "Boss, don't worry. It's the middle of the night. Who would be willing to leave their warm and cozy bed? It's only because we don't sleep at night that we can appear here. " Another person said: "That's right. Look, the explosion sound is half an hour away. There's no movement at all. That means no one is coming up."
The boss said: "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and move the rocks. Open up the tomb as soon as possible. It's important to go in and rummage. Don't let all our efforts go to waste!"
When he said this, the other two people did not say anything.
