Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

"You are unfaithful, untrustworthy, and unjust."

"Even the young men in my village don't believe your lies, so how can I believe you?"

"Huzi, let's go."

I took Wang Hu on the tricycle.

Xiao Song stood up and pedaled hard twice, and the tricycle passed by Liu Dongdong.

Liu Dongdong sat on the ground as if he had lost his soul.

Wang Hu rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "I knew this cowardice would lead to bad consequences."

"You still have the audacity to claim loyalty. I bah!"

"If Lord Guan is still alive, he will definitely kill this bastard with a bolt of lightning!"

I smiled and shook my head.

I don't care what happens to Liu Dongdong.

Given his character and abilities, it's only a matter of time before he's deserted by his friends and family.

"Come with me to Shangluo tomorrow."

"Shangluo...are we going to that cave?" Wang Hu asked cautiously.

"Are you scared?" I laughed.

Wang Hu quickly shook his head: "No, how could I be afraid!"

"I really miss the Shangzhi meat over there. It's so delicious. I'm drooling just thinking about it."

"By the way, how many people are going?"

"You, me, and Rat."

After saying this, I sighed inwardly.

Still short of people.

It would be great if I could have a few more capable men.

But time is running out, and it is too difficult to find subordinates who meet all the requirements.

"It's just the three of us."

Wang Hu scratched his head and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have a brother who also wants to make money. Do you think it's possible..."

I frowned slightly.

Although I am eager to recruit talented people, I don't want any mediocre ones.

"What's your brother's ability?"

"I don't have any special skills, but I have strong arms. I'm honest and obedient, and I have no bad intentions. I'm sure I can handle hard work."

I'm a little tempted.

Being honest, obedient and strong is considered a skill in the tomb-robbing business.

It takes a lot of strength to dig a hole.

It also takes a lot of strength to carry heavy objects into the tomb.

If you really want to fight with someone, having great strength is an advantage.

"Have you ever worked in this line of work?"

"I took him to do it once, but he didn't get anything done. Then his mother became seriously ill, so he went back home."

"He came to me again two days ago and wanted to continue working with me."

I nodded slightly when I heard that.

It seems that he is also a poor person forced by life.

And having worked with Wang Hu once, it showed that he had no objection to doing this job.

Many people are very resistant to the business of tomb robbing.

If you rashly recruit people into your gang, you could end up in trouble.

"Where is he? Take me to see him."

"My home is in Nanyaotou, not far from here."

With Wang Hu's guidance, they soon arrived at Nanyaotou.

He shouted outside a house's gate: "Stone mill!"

"Hey!"

A gruff response came from the courtyard.

Soon the gate opened.

The tall and burly stone mill came out.

Shi Nianzi's eyes were clear, and a simple smile appeared on his face. He walked forward and hugged Wang Hu like a big black bear.

"Brother Huzi!"

"Be gentle! You're going to break my ribs."

"Hey, I'll be gentler next time."

Shi Nianzi let go of his hand, and Wang Hu rubbed his ribs with a grimace.

It seems that the hug just now was really painful.

"Nianzi, this is Master Chen."

"Hello, Mr. Chen." Shi Nianzi greeted me in a naive manner.

His stupidity is not due to being foolish, but rather due to being too honest.

This kind of stupid person usually has no brains.

As long as you treat him as a brother, he will really dare to give you his life.

I smiled and patted the millstone on the arm.

The strong muscles are like rocks, and you feel a rebound when you hit them with your hands.

"Is your full name Shi Nian Zi?" I asked curiously.

Shi Nianzi smiled innocently and shook his head: "My full name is Shi Lei, and my nickname is Gou Sheng. Because I lift the millstone every day, everyone in the village calls me Shi Nianzi."

"Lifting the millstone?!" I was shocked.

A millstone is a tool for processing grains. The lower layer is the millstone, and the upper layer is the cylindrical millstone.

People push or donkeys pull the millstone to rotate and grind the grain.

The millstone weighs at least a hundred pounds, and it is difficult for most people to hold it, let alone lift it.

As if he thought I didn't believe him, the stone mill ran into the yard, holding the millstone high up.

The millstone is about 60 centimeters long and 40 centimeters in diameter, and is made entirely of stone.

I made a silent estimate in my mind.

The circumference multiplied by the square of the radius multiplied by the height, then multiplied by the density of the stone...

After some mental calculation, I had a rough idea of ​​the weight of the millstone.

At least about 200 kilograms!

The stone mill is really gifted to lift something weighing two hundred pounds so easily!

"Hey, I hold it up and play with it every day."

As the stone mill spoke, he raised the millstone and waved it up and down, just like he was playing.

"That's enough, that's enough, put it down quickly." I said quickly.

He gently placed the millstone back on the millstone, smiled innocently and said, "Master Chen, do you want to play with it?"

I walked over with a smile: "I'm afraid it would be difficult to hold it."

When I came to the millstone, I tried to hold the millstone.

"Hey!"

I used all my strength and my face turned red before I could pick up the millstone.

Now I have a clearer understanding of the weight of the millstone, it is definitely 200 pounds!

Wang Hu quickly reached out to help me hold the millstone.

"Is Master Chen okay? Only a millstone can move this thing. I don't know where he got such strength."

“That’s called talent.”

The more I look at the stone mill, the more I like it.

Talent must be accepted.

Wang Hu leaned over to the millstone and whispered, "Millstone, if you want to get rich, you have to follow Master Chen."

"I'm working with Master Chen now, and I have meat for every meal."

"If you come along and do a few jobs, you'll have enough money to treat your mother's illness, and you can even get her married."

The stone mill was very happy to hear this.

"I'll do it, I'll do it, Master Chen, I'll do it with you!"

"Work is easy, but how is your mother's illness?" I asked.

Since you want to recruit Shi Nianzi as your subordinate, you naturally have to win his heart.

Why is Song Jiang, the hero of Water Margin, so loyal to the people in the martial arts world?

Isn’t it because of his generosity and timely help?

As long as you help others in times of need, many people in the world will remember your kindness.

Of course, there are also some ruthless people, but that is another matter.

"My mother's illness has improved. The village doctor said it would be best to send her to the hospital for treatment."

"But I don't have any money..."

As Shi Nianzi spoke, his eyes turned red and he lowered his head, blaming himself.

"I can't make enough money to send my mother to medical treatment."

"I'm useless!"

clap clap!

The stone mill was so anxious that he slapped himself twice.

I quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, I'll pay for your mother's treatment."

"Hu Zi, move the things from the car in, and help Nian Zi's mother get on the car and take her to the hospital."

"Hey!" Wang Hu ran out immediately.

Shi Nianzi wiped her tears excitedly and grabbed my hand and shook it hard.

When he grabbed me, the immense force made me feel like my hand was going to break.

Finally I know why Wang Hu was grinning just now.

"Press the mill gently. I can't handle your strength."

"Oh oh oh."

Shi Nianzi quickly let go of his hand: "I, I thank you, on behalf of my eight generations of ancestors!"

This thank you made me laugh and cry.

"Don't be polite. Taking your mother to the hospital is the most important thing."

"Yes, yes, I'll carry my mother out right now."

Shi Nianzi returned to the house and carefully carried his mother onto the tricycle.

I followed him out and took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Xiao Song: "Xiao Song, I'd like to trouble you to take him to the hospital, to the district hospital."

Xiao Song smiled and took the cigarette: "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it."

"Huzi, you follow the cart. Nianzi and I will walk."

After Wang Hu got in the car, Xiao Song started the tricycle, and I waited for Nianzi to lock the gate and walked to the hospital together.

On the way, I asked, "Nianzi, do you know why you are following me?"
