Early in the morning, Lao Lin carried two pork and asked Brother Yu and I to go to the mine with him.

On the way, he said, "Let's just say you want to work and make money in the horse team, because at least half of the people in the horse team are black households. Do you understand what I mean?"

I said I know.

The "black household" he said means that he has committed something before, which may be murder, fraud, rape, etc., and is still wanted in society.

At that time, "population missing" was very common in Luanchuan mines, and basically missing means a lifetime of death.

After understanding the great relationship, I am more careful now.

This is in someone else's territory. It is important to find Wang Yuanjie to avenge Mr. Li, but his own life is even more important.

Walking around the mountain until 9 o'clock, I saw a row of mobile houses from afar, with more than a dozen horses tied around them, and several people were brushing their horse hair with brushes.

"Lao Jin! Haha! I'm going to take a horse!" Lao Lin said hello loudly.

"Who am I supposed to be Lao Lin? I haven't seen you for half a year. Where are you making a fortune?"

"Hey, no matter how much money you make, life is almost impossible to survive."

"How are your feet? Still limp?"

"Who are these two?"

Lao Lin immediately handed over the two pork pieces and said with a smile: "These are brothers I met before. I have made some small things recently and can't make it outside anymore. I just want to ask old friends to help him and give him a bite of food."

"Oh? That's right, but my team is not short of people anymore," the middle-aged man looked at me and asked, "What have you done? I think you are too thin, isn't you killing people?"

I hurriedly said, "No, brother, I just fought with people and broke the head."

"What a guy, this guy is so strong!" The middle-aged man patted Brother Yu's shoulder hard, then pinched Brother Yu's chest, and said with a smile: "Zhong Lao Lin, this guy is OK! Look at his body, he is full of big lumps of meat, and he must have brute force."

He looked at me again and said, "If you don't accept you, you won't be able to do it. Your arms and legs are like monkeys. I'll take this big man."

My face changed slightly.

Damn, call me a monkey? You dog basket, be careful.

Lao Lin was immediately embarrassed: "Hey, Lao Jin, please help. These two of them let them join the horse team. It's just your word. I'll get you two days of good cigarettes in two days, will it be better?"

Brother Yu was attracted to me. After hearing Lao Lin's words, the man did not say ok, nor did he say no. Instead, he pointed to a large iron bucket a few meters away and said, "You try it, go and move the iron bucket to my horse's back."

He must have seen the big iron barrels he mentioned, the big barrels that contain gasoline are empty.

It is used to tie it to both sides of the horse's back to hold various ores.

I thought to myself that you are too fucking underestimating people, isn’t it just an empty bucket?

I walked over with a cold face, grabbed it with both hands, and raised it up!

It was lifted up, but it was very difficult to lift it above the horse's back.

I swayed and raised it halfway, my face turned red.

The man laughed loudly when he saw it, and a few men laughed loudly.

"Boy! I said you can't do it! You are not convinced!"

"How about it! Can't move it up! How can you join our horse team to work? So, where do you come from?"

"etc!"

Brother Yu frowned and said, "If you want to accept me, you must have him. We are brothers."

"Also, you are the broken bucket..."

Brother Yu walked over with a cold face. He grabbed a large iron bucket with one hand and lifted it up suddenly! Almost as high as his shoulder!

Then, Brother Yu banged! He directly hit the two big iron buckets in his hand together!

The huge impact force made the iron bucket flatten instantly!

Brother Yu let go and the iron bucket fell to the ground again.

The whole process looked very easy, as if I didn't use much force at all, which made the group of people stunned. There was someone who was eating and couldn't even close their mouths.

"good!"

"sharp!"

The middle-aged man shouted: "Then I will accept you two brothers."

"Our salary is 40 yuan a day, and we will get a commission of 20 yuan if we go there. Just work hard with me! More than 3,000 yuan a month! There is absolutely no problem!"

I smiled on the surface, but my mother criticized me in my heart. I looked down on me just now, and I just blew it to the sky for 3,000 yuan?

I didn't even take a look at it when I fell off the road. I just stole a small tomb and you have worked for several years!

Lao Lin was relieved when he heard this and came over to me and whispered to me: "Two, if you join the horse team, my mission will be completed. You must abide by what I said last night. After all, the most important thing is that we are safe when we go out, so why am I leaving?"

"Okay, brother, please wait. In the next two days, if someone passes through you, you will have to take a chance to lead a way."

"You have said this, I know."

Looking at Lao Lin's back down the mountain, I frowned and thought, I had underestimated the difficulty of finding someone in the mine before.

There are more than one horse team on this mountain. Lao Lin said that there are at least more than 30 horse teams!

But this one is the only one he can speak.

For example, Xiaolongkou Gold Mine Horse Team, Tantou Molybdenum Mine Horse Team, and Xie Ge Crystal Mine Horse Team in Baitu Town, everyone has hunting rifles and earth grenades. These horse teams compete with each other because they may be able to pull aluminum mines today and iron mines tomorrow.

The horse team I joined was called "Luanchuan Jinzi Horse Team". There were eleven people and about ten horses. The captain was the middle-aged man just now, named Jin Erping, nicknamed Lao Jin.

The job we do is to send manganese ore. Lao Jin asked Brother Yu and I to write a "safety agreement" together. I forgot what the content was. Anyway, we asked us to write a paragraph and press the handprint.

The roughly means that if we die unexpectedly, the horse team will not lose money and has nothing to do with the horse team.

I remember when I was reading the agreement, a man in his 50s smiled and said to me: "Brother, we sign this safety agreement once a year. I had to worry about signing it last year. I don't know what happened. The words I wrote are getting smaller and smaller, and I can't control them at all."

I thought he was talking nonsense at first, but then I realized it later.

The reason why he writes on paper is that it is a symptom of occupational manganese poisoning. It is called "small writing disorder" in medicine. After a few years of development, he just can't remember things, which are similar to Alzheimer's disease and cannot be treated.

I asked him indirectly: "Brother, you have been on the mountain for a long time. I asked you something. I used to have a friend named Wang Yuanjie. I heard that he was also in a horse team on this mountain. Do you recognize him?"

"Wang Yuanjie?"

"I don't know, there are 33 horse teams in the mountains, both big and small, and hundreds of people. How could I know them all?"

"but...."

"You are new to you today, and you can rest if you don't work in the afternoon. We have activities in the evening."

"Oh? What activity?"

He smiled, showed his mouthful of yellow teeth and said, "It's only once a month, you'll know when it's time."

After lying in the mobile room for an afternoon, at night, the men in the horse team were screaming excitedly.

At about 9 o'clock, there were 8 women and one man in the mobile room.

Brother Yu whispered to me what this is for? What activities are you doing?

I wondered, "Brother Yu, why haven't you seen it yet?"

"This may be a sermon party."
