I took something from the cave, and then hurried back to Shihewan, and gave most of the treasure to Mu Jiu.
The thing that was handed over to Mu Jiu, in Tutian’s treasure cave, was only a fraction of a fraction, but it was enough for Shihewan to survive this fateful year. With money, there is Bentou, and Shihewan goes up and down happily.
Mu Jiu looked at the careless, but in fact he was very careful. While everyone was cheering, he called me aside and asked me where these things came from.
"Brother Nine, where do you care about the things you get, since you have them, you can use them."
"Brother, a gentleman loves money and takes the right way. These things are all like old things." Mu Jiu took a piece of silver cake I sent and said, "I don't know how many years it has been stored."
The silver ingots and cakes in the treasure cave have been properly stored, but after all, it has been too long, and Mu Jiu can see at a glance that they are old objects from the past.
I don't know how to explain it. It's not that I can't believe in Mu Jiu, but Tu Tian told me about this treasure cave. In the final analysis, it is not my own.
"Brother Nine, if you want to trust me, don't ask."
"I can trust you." Mu Jiu also knows that I am a person, and it is impossible to take other people's ill-gotten wealth: "Everyone has difficulties. Since you have said this, I will not ask."
I wanted to recruit all the sporadic sand bandits on the river beach. There must be wicked ones among the sand bandits, but there is no shortage of loyal and courageous men like Mu Jiu. If you can gather the unweathered sand bandits together, you will not only eliminate one harm for the river beach, but you can also use this to fight the universe.
I told Mu Jiu that I wanted to recruit a group of people. Mu Jiu knew something about my side, and he certainly understood that I recruited troops to compete with Qian Kun Dao.
"Wait a few days, I will run for you and ask those brothers." Mu Jiu said: "If you just want to fight Qiankun Dao, most of the brothers are willing."
Those small groups of sand bandits on the river beach are now being run out and cannot survive. They have a lot to do with Qiankun Dao. Everyone hates Qiankun Dao. With this opportunity, it is possible to bring them together.
I stayed in Shihewan temporarily, and plan to wait for Mu Jiu to go out with him all the way. After Mu Jiu got the money, he had the confidence to send people out to buy some grain, and he was going to distribute it to the villages that usually help Shihewan. When the food is properly distributed, we can leave.
As a result, after staying here for two days, a few people came to visit. I heard from the informant that it seemed to be someone from Niutoushan.
"Brother Nine, what is the origin of Niutoushan?"
"Niutoushan is a small hill, but there are about twenty people." Mu Jiu said: "Most of them are here to beat the autumn wind."
This Niutoushan is just a small group of the countless sand bandits on the big river beach. It usually does not show the mountains and dews, do some business and make a living. Even after the Qiankun Dao took control of the situation, the people in Niutoushan were not going well. After struggling for so long, it might be that they couldn't hold it, and they ran to Shihewan to beat the autumn breeze.
The principal of Niutoushan, called Hu Zhanshan, is an old friend with Mu Jiu, and he is very righteous, just like I thought, Mu Jiu's friends will definitely not be bad.
We were talking, and we went outside the gate together to meet Hu Zhanshan. After we met, I went up.
Looking down at the other person, Hu Zhanshan was about 35 years old, with a thick beard, big eyes, and piercing eyes.
"Brother Nine, brothers really can't live anymore." When Hu Zhanshan saw Mu Jiu, he smiled bitterly and said: "Just after the new year, I ran to ask for help, Brother Nine, forgive sins and forgive sins..."
"Go into the house and talk about it."
Mu Jiu and I gave Hu Zhanshan to the house. Mu Jiu was right. Hu Zhanshan really came to beat the autumn wind. Mu Jiu is a righteous man. He just got a sum of money from me, so he will split half of it to Hu Zhanshan.
Listening to their conversation, I felt that Hu Zhanshan seemed to be outspoken and carefree. Moreover, the two of them talked, unknowingly they talked about the experience of last year, the small group of sand bandits like Niutoushan, their own strength is not very strong, and their site is close to the site of Dashahe, big Shahe didn't do business normally, and when Dashahe also took refuge in Qiankun Dao, he began to plot an acre of land in Niutoushan.
Hu Zhanshan was angry, but he had fought with Da Shahe twice, but his strength was too far apart, and he could only swallow his anger. The business was robbed by Da Shahe, and some sand bandits who had friendship with Hu Zhanshan also came to run. Hu Zhanshan couldn't support himself, but he wanted face, and those who came would not refuse him. As long as he came to join him, all of them would find a way to get them settled.
Sixty to seventy people live in Niutoushan now, sitting and eating the sky. After this year, there is really no way.
I heard from Mu Jiu that Hu Zhanshan is the same as Shihewan on weekdays. He does not disturb the poor and only chooses the rich and powerful landlords and squires. But the landlords in the vicinity of Niutoushan basically paid for Dashahe and were sheltered by Dashahe. As a result, Niutoushan would not be able to do business at all.
"I, two brothers, I didn't say anything." Mu Jiu said, "Old Hu, I happen to have money in my hand. I will ask someone to settle the account later. You need to spend the rest of Shihewan, and you take the rest. "
"Brother Nine, I borrowed the money, but I won't be able to pay it back for a while."
"It's all useless nonsense. Use it and pay for it." Mu Jiu said, "But, Lao Hu, I have to say one thing. If this goes on, it's still not a problem. Wait for the money in my hand. What should I do when I run out?"
"Then, what can you do?" When Hu Zhanshan mentioned this, he seemed to burst into flames, grabbed the hat on his head, threw it on the table, and said: "Da Shahe relied on the power of the universe to deceive people too much. , I don’t know what they’re thinking, but I just want to squeeze me away and give him the land of Niutoushan. The abacus made by the Anjia father and son is like a mirror in my heart, but I just don’t call them. If I wish, as long as my surname Hu still has a sigh of relief, I won't let him on this mountain!"
"Let's make a long story short." Mu Jiu pointed at me and said to Hu Zhanshan: "This is my brother, character, don't worry. We have discussed for a long time after years, and today's world is different, the river beach is chaotic, and the spring is beginning. After that, the newly appointed warlord will send people to suppress the bandits. We, these people, are fragmentary and incompetent. Sooner or later, they will be defeated by others. My brother also has a plan. He wants to gather people together. There is a lot of power. Let’s not hide it. You say, he has a big feud with Qian Kun Dao and Da Shahe."
"Have hatred with Qian Kun Dao?" Hu Zhanshan's eyes widened when he heard this: "Then don't say anything, just follow
Kun Dao and Dashahe have an antagonism, we are all the same, Brother Nine, the brother you introduced, I can absolutely trust it, what the rules are, let's listen to it. "
This is a good opportunity. Although there are not many people on Niutoushan, at least dozens of people should be gathered together first, and then slowly discuss the long-term plan. I had already planned it in my heart, and chatted with Hu Zhanshan for a while. These sand bandits are running out of nowhere at the moment. When I heard that I don't have to worry about money, Hu Zhanshan was pleased.
"As long as they can survive, the two brothers will carry a head on their shoulders and fight with them!"
Talking to someone like Hu Zhanshan who is going straight up and down, you don't have to bother at all. I plan to follow him to Niutoushan first to take a look.
Without further ado, the next day, Hu Zhanshan took me on the road. Mu Jiu wanted to greet Shihewan. When he was finished, he would meet me at Niutoushan.
The land of Niutoushan, next to Dashahe, drove for four or five days, and then followed the path into Niutoushan. Hu Zhanshan smiled bitterly and said, "My brother, don't make a joke. We can't do anything now. We can only take the small road. At the intersection of the road, Dashahe's dog-legs have been staring at it. I don't want to cause any trouble for the time being."
We entered Niutoushan, and then came to the top of Hu Zhanshan. Niutoushan is indeed a small place, but it happens to be next to the site of Dashahe. If Dashahe wants to expand, he has to pull out the nail of Niutoushan.
Niutoushan originally had more than 20 people, and friends kept coming to Hu Zhanshan, but now there are almost 70 people.
With a lot of cash, I followed Hu Zhanshan to meet the people at the top of the mountain, and sent a meeting gift by the way. A group of people have been poor for half a year. When they saw the money spent in vain, all of them grinned to the roots of their ears. There was no need to introduce them at all, so they regarded me as their own.
After settling down in Niutoushan, I probably touched the situation. It can be seen that this gang of sand bandits has mixed good and bad, and there are many messy problems. However, most of Hu Zhanshan's friends will not harass the people, and only choose the rich and powerful. I think that with this kind of thought, these sand bandits are still worthy of friendship, at least knowing that there is a reason for thieves.
After staying for three or four days, I became acquainted with some people on the mountain. I heard from outsiders that Hu Zhanshan was never so poor in the first place. There are few people in Niutoushan. In the past, I did a few business trips every year. A lot of money should be accumulated for big expenses, so this group of talents rushed over. Who knew that after coming over, he found that Hu Zhanshan was also clanging poorly.
The days on the mountain are actually very boring. People are all in Maodong, and there is nothing to do. With money in hand, they go down the mountain to buy wine and meat, eat and drink every day, and get together to brag and play cards. Because Mu Jiu hasn’t come yet, so I didn’t tell Hu Zhanshan a lot of details. I just want to wait for Mu Jiu to come here. Everyone will sit together and talk about it and see what Hu Zhanshan is. mean.
That night, I drank too much with the people at Shantou. After drinking, I started playing cards. I didn’t understand this. It was boring to sit, and I was a little dizzy when I drank, so I wanted to go back and rest early.
There was no light on the mountain, and the black light was blind. I fumbled and walked for a while, confused, and went to the wrong place.
I saw a small yard in front of me. The gate of the yard was an iron fence, which was tightly locked.
