This man was a little tiger, so I put a cigarette on him and asked him if he knew where to go up the mountain? Go to the village on the mountain.

He smoked, "I tell you that the road is OK, but this territory is mine! I found it!"

"Brother, don't worry, we won't steal your territory." I said.

"It's almost the same," he pointed to the north of the Tugou and said, "Did you see that Tuopao?"

"See it."

"That local platform is called the "Dianbing Platform". I ordered troops there two thousand years ago. No, I was wrong. It was Liu Bang who ordered troops there two thousand years ago."

What a scare, I think you have lived for two thousand years.

He pointed out the way and said, "There is a tree around the earthen platform, and you can go up to the village on the mountain."

"Thank you, I won't bother you, brother, and you'll get rich."

The man waved his hand and continued to dig along the trenches.

.....

"Brother Yu, go slowly, wait for me."

"Hurry up, Yunfeng, what time is it? Hurry up and find someone to buy two good shovels and go back. Could it be that you want to spend the night in the mountain?"

I suspected that mudslides had occurred here before, and the road was very difficult to walk. I gasped and said, "Brother Yu, why don't you carry me up the mountain?"

"Get out of here, you are a big man with your feet, so you are so embarrassed to let me carry you?"

I jokingly went up the mountain and looked around and saw a desolate view.

I frowned and thought, "Can people live in this place beggars? I'm afraid that it's all broken."

This place used to be a village, and I couldn't see a single family, but I could see a little angry.

Weeds, moss-covered bricks, and some houses are broken and have only one door frame left, standing there without falling.

Not to mention electricity, it seems that it is difficult to get water here, so why do anyone want to live here alone?

As Mr. Li said, this person called Lao Xie is a bit "evil" and does not play according to common sense.

"How many cash fish have we brought?"

"Take more than six thousand."

"That should be enough. Just buy a few shovels. Let's find it."

After entering the broken village, I searched from house to house to see where anyone had lived.

Walking inward, almost to the west of the deserted village, we saw an old man with a cigarette in his right hand, blew the fire to make a fire.

"uncle!"

After shouting, Brother Yu and I ran over quickly.

"Uncle, where are you cooking in life?"

The old man was wearing a yellow vest, gray hair, about 1.6 meters tall, and was as thin as a monkey. Because he smoked cigarettes all year round, his fingernails turned yellow.

"What can I do?" the old man asked.

"Is it that Kong Laoxie? We came to the mountain to find someone named Kong Laoxie to buy something."

The old man said, "I am Kong Laoxie, what are you buying?"

Ask a question knowingly.

I didn't say these four words, but smiled and said, "Old man, I've learned that good and evil have been heard for thousands of years, and I will buy this thing."

The thin old man in a yellow vest shrank his cheeks, took a sip of the cigarette hard, pointed at me and said, "You rotten baby, you can still write poetry."

Fuck, what does a bad baby mean? I don’t think it’s good to say.

"What shovel, can you leave quickly." He said no, and drove us away.

I said I would give you money, and I took the thick envelope from Brother Yu. I took it out and shook it with fear and said, "Mom, I'll give it to your Mom."

The old man didn't even look at the thousands of dollars in my hand, so he stared at me and scolded: "Yeah! You bad boy, look, you can put it in, and get it on the side and make it a mess." (meaning to get out of here)

It’s true that people are as famous as their name, no wonder he is called Lao Xie. It’s really evil, I don’t want our money.

At this time, Brother Yu frowned and said, "Master, we are from the Mangshan Archaeology Team. I heard that you have good skills and bought it for the archaeology team. Why are you scolding me?"

"Yeah? Can it be in the archaeological team?"

The old man said with disbelief: "If it were in the archaeological team, I would be the mayor."

After grinding for a long time, it didn't work. The old man said he didn't sell it to us without a shovel and he wouldn't beat it himself.

I was angry too, so I was so mean to say, let’s go, Brother Yu.

Seeing this, Brother Yu was helpless and said, "Let's go."

As a result, just turned around and walked a few steps, the old man suddenly shouted: "Wait."

"What? Have you changed your mind?" I turned around and asked.

The old man lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, so he waited quietly for a minute or two.

As soon as he looked up, his eyes suddenly turned red and said, "If you can help me catch the dog stealing, I will help you make a shovel, will you?

I turned my head and looked at Brother Yu: "What do you mean? Help catch the dog stole?"

Brother Yu asked: "Old man, we didn't understand very well. Please tell me it."

The old man explained, and then he realized the meaning.

He raised a big yellow dog and was poisoned to death by a group of people feeding ham sausages last week. He was in the house at that time. He heard the dog humming and ran out quickly, but he saw several people preparing to take the dog away.

He picked up a stick and shouted. The group ran down the mountain in a panic. Then he looked down and saw that the big yellow dog could not breathe and died within a few minutes.

Speaking of this, the old man's eyes were red. He wiped his tears with his arms and kept sobbing. He looked very painful, just like his son was poisoned to death.

Actually, I can understand that he is a childless and widowed old man. He has been with an old yellow dog for more than ten years. He will give half of the old dog if he has stuttering. Now that he has been poisoned to death, he is naturally very sad.

The key is, can we help with this? I have never done a dog thief, how can I help?

Brother Yu walked over, he squatted down and chatted with the old man for a few minutes, then pulled me aside and said, "I asked Yunfeng, the one who steals the dog should be poison."

I said I know that poisonous ham sausage may be mixed with rat poison.

"No," Brother Yu shook his head and said, "I used to know a dog stole in the opera troupe. They didn't use rat poison. Dog meat from rat poison cannot be sold after taking rat poison. People will get poisoned if they eat it."

"What poison is that?"

Brother Yu said it was "the dog stopped immediately."

In the local dialect, it is called "Dog Lizhang", which means that the dog can stop breathing immediately after eating it. The scientific name should be "isoniazid (jing)."

At that time, many dog ​​thieves used this kind of thing. This is a prescription drug for treating tuberculosis. Those who study medicine should know the principle. It is okay for people to eat a small dose of isoniazid, but once the dog eats it, it only takes a little bit and will be poisoned to death.

Dogs that were poisoned by taking this medicine were sold to dog meat restaurants across the country because people were fine if they ate meat.

After thinking about it, I said to the old man: "Uncle, I can help you find this group of dog thieves, but you have to let me see the shovel first. If it is not good, will I be in vain?"

"middle!"

The old man immediately stood up and said, come with me and let me see what it means, "The most awesome, sharpest, fastest digging soil, and the best Luoyang shovel."

Brother Yu and I followed him into a broken house. There was a mud-paste stove, and a hand-push blower was added under the stove.

There are also various hammer tools, scrap iron, scrap cans, etc. in the room.

Rearing against the corner of the wall were two Luoyang shovels.

From a distance, the momentum of these two shovels is different, just like two square heavenly painting halberds, with peerless magical weapons inserted on the ground!

The afterglow of the sunset shone in through the window, and the overall cold light shines.

I walked over, picked it up and tried it.

It's lightweight, I don't know how to make it. Compared to all the shovels I used before, the weight is at least half lightweight.

I lifted the shovel and poked it gently on the ground. I didn't use much force at all, and the shovel surface went down ten centimeters!

I didn't want to put it down after picking it up. I couldn't put it down. I had never seen such a good Luoyang shovel.

At that moment, I even had an illusion that I felt that I could dig up the Mausoleum of the First Emperor in Mount Li with one shovel!

Seeing my face full of excitement, the old man held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "A bad boy, won't he win?"

middle!

I said it was too good! I want this one!

As a result, he shook his head and said, "No, someone ordered it, it was customized for someone, but it hasn't been picked up yet."

The shovel rod of this shovel is integrated. I scratched my head and thought about it and asked him: "Can you make a ingredient cut-off type? It can be packed separately?"

He nodded and said, "What a problem, I can tailor it for you based on the size of your palm."

Later, many years later.

My shovel is still the best one in the entire Northern School.

None of them.
