Chapter 843 Start!
The next day, in the Leopard Gold Mine!
The Leopard Gold Mine is located at the foot of a mountain and is divided into two major areas: inner and outer areas. It is surrounded by fences made of wooden piles with a height of bowls and about two meters and five meters high.
The outer area is divided into the left and right sides. On the left are accommodations and canteens for workers and mine protection teams, and on the right is a wide but shallow river. Usually, some workers dress ore and wash mines here.
The inner area is the source of the river, extending all the way into the hole... No one knows what the situation inside, and even few people know how deep it is. It can be said that the confidentiality measures are very strict. Of course, there must be much more gold mines here than outside, and they are key areas. From time to time, there are even blasting sounds, and some corpses, which makes people outside feel very scary inside, so few people are willing to work inside. Even for dinner, the workers in the inner and outer areas are separated, which makes people even more imaginative.
There was originally a 300-man mine protection team stationed here, and because Hua Leopard regarded this place as the largest source of wealth and attached great importance to it, the 300-man mine protection team is also the elite and confidence of Hua Leopard's armed forces, so this place naturally became his nest.
However, because the leopard needs to deal with the old town mayor Zhou Baichuan, he needs to stay in the county for a long time and serve the Japanese devils well, he needs the protection and execution of the armed forces, so he has drawn half of the armed forces from here. In addition, this place is not far from Dajin Town, and once something happens, he will definitely arrive within two hours. Apart from the Japanese and two or three armed forces like Matou Town, there is no big armed force around him. This place is now occupied by the Japanese. As long as the Japanese do not fall, then, without the Japanese, the Japanese, and other armed forces that can threaten the Leopard's mouth gold mine, they will not dare to move.
However, it is just seeking death. On the other hand, once the Japanese recognize others' attack on the Leopard Gold Mine, no matter whether the Flower Leopard concentrates all its strength here, there is no difference. It is just a word "death". His few people will definitely not beat the Japanese. Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if there are only 150 people here, it is enough to resist the attack of others. In addition, they only need to defend for two hours to get reinforcements. Therefore, the Flower Leopard is still very at ease with the place, otherwise they would not boldly draw half of the armed forces directly... Of course, this is only under normal circumstances.
"Mr. Hu, tomorrow, it will be Mr. Peng (Liu Hu's father-in-law)'s 60th birthday. The brothers have not had a big bowl of wine and have eaten meat in a big mouthful. Can you give me a delicious meal?"
Since Liu Hu became one of the leaders and expanded his strength in this area, his father-in-law's family has begun to flourish and gradually emerged, and Liu Hu's status in his father-in-law's family has also become higher.
A few days ago, my father-in-law sent someone to say hello to him and asked him to go and help him when he had time, preferably one or two days in advance. Tomorrow is my father-in-law's birthday. He went there today, showing his identity and showing his help. He stepped on this point very accurately, so yesterday he sent his wife over and arranged everything. At noon today, he planned to bring his fifty men specially selected to prepare all the swords and guns, and prepare to go to my father-in-law's house to help... It was said that it was helping, but in fact everyone knew in his heart that it was just a sitting place, chatting and gambling with guests, and that could not be asked to be a second-in-commander to really move the table and clean the chair, which was a slap in the face. To put it bluntly, my father-in-law wanted to use his status and armed forces to demonstrate the power of the Peng family.
He was also happy to do this - not returning home without returning home, like walking in brocade clothes at night. It was the same when he went to his father-in-law's house to show off.
Just as the fifty people were about to join, he was walking over, but he saw a group of foremen standing beside him and smiling. Among them, there was a young man in his twenties who spoke directly to ask for a reward.
This young man is not an ordinary person. The reason why he dares to ask for rewards like this is because he is Zhou Yi, the nephew of Zhou Kaijun, the third leader.
Zhou Kaijun has two daughters but no son. Zhou Yi happened to die both of his parents and followed his uncle as a bandit a long time ago. It can be said that Zhou Kaijun really raised Zhou Yi as his own son, so he was only openly adopted.
With the help of Zhou Kaijun, Zhou Yi was naturally very good at doing so and soon became a small leader.
However, as Zhou Kai's army had never fought against Liu Hu, Zhou Yi's status plummeted. The biggest reason why Zhou Yi did not follow Zhou Kai's army to Dajin Town is that Zhou Yi is equivalent to a hostage, both for Liu Hu and for the leopard.
Therefore, Zhou Yi's status in Leopard's mouth is a bit special: although everyone understands that he is a hostage, as long as his uncle Zhou Kaijun is not finished and he does not cause trouble himself, even in Leopard's mouth gold mine, he is a person who is not easy to offend. Of course, in name, he has changed from a small leader to a foreman today, and supervises the lives of workers every day. However, he is fishing for three days and two days of drying the net. Others don't talk about him. Liu Hu pretends not to see it because he doesn't want to force Zhou Kaijun too much. Therefore, in this Leopard's mouth gold mine, Zhou Yi's life is the most prosperous, and he also makes friends with a group of friends and spends money all day.
Zhou Yi was surely uncomfortable, but he had been in the world for a long time, so he naturally had great eyesight. He usually just skipped a job, played cards, etc., and was a person who would not make big mistakes and keep making small mistakes. Moreover, because he understood his identity and was born without the full strength to choose to stand in the team, he would never sway in front of Liu Hu, and would not think about pleasing Liu Hu. Liu Hu was also the principle of being invisible. As long as this guy was not careful of big mistakes and did not run away, he would let him do it.
However, I never expected that today, Zhou Yi actually asked for a reward.
After hearing Zhou Yi's words, Liu Hu didn't think much about it. He thought Zhou Yi wanted to borrow his own things to sell everyone's favors.
Naturally, I won't be fooled.
He smiled and said, "Brothers have worked hard this year. I originally wanted to find an opportunity to improve the food and have a tooth sacrifice for everyone. Now, my father-in-law will do it at one time tomorrow's 60th birthday..." Speaking of this, he thought that instead of just selling favors to these people, it would be better to take the opportunity to sell favors to everyone, as it would not cost a lot of money anyway. So he looked at everyone and shouted: "Don't worry, tomorrow, not only will the brothers improve the food, but also all the workers here, one of them will be counted and one of them will improve the food. I dare not say anything else, but I promise that each person will have at least one bowl of meat and one bowl of wine. I just hope that everyone will work hard in the future and make a fortune together!"
"Xie Hu!"
Suddenly, everyone thanked Liu Hu happily.
Liu Hu nodded with a smile and was about to continue leaving, but unexpectedly, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Thank you for the generous reward of Hu. However, since the wine and meat are guaranteed, can you give everyone a big vacation? It is also possible to let everyone have a good rest."
Then, Zhou Yi shouted to the surroundings: "Do you think so?"
No one answered, even though Zhou Yi's friends were all looking at Liu Hu with a smile, none of them spoke. However, all the workers stood up straight and looked at Liu Hu with expectations.
Liu Hu suddenly turned around and looked at Zhou Yi with a cold look.
Zhou Yi smiled and shrugged his shoulders, and did not speak, but looked at Liu Hu.
Not to mention Zhou Yi's request is getting more and more excessive: you agree to your previous request, but you are not satisfied, and you want to mention more. You have to understand who is the one here? Not to mention Zhou Yi is suspicious of inciting everyone, let alone who will be responsible for the loss if you really want to magnify the holiday? During the Chinese New Year, it has been on holidays every year. It is usually possible to have a holiday during the Chinese New Year. Unless a person dies, there is no prescription. Now, the holiday will be still ongoing. Then, not to mention the reduction in his own income every month, the key is that the Japanese and the Japanese will blame him and the Japanese will not blame him. Liu Hu doesn't want to take this responsibility - he is not so arrogant that he doesn't take the Japanese and the Japanese and the Japanese will seriously.
Just saying that Zhou Yi dared to look at him so unscrupulously, offended Liu Hu: You little hostage, if I hadn't had the strength to swallow your uncle in one bite, otherwise, wouldn't you be qualified to jump around in front of me? However, since you were provocative first, then, I would teach you a lesson and others would have nothing to say.
Like Zhou Kaijun, Liu Hu is not very arrogant, and people with little energy are easily angry. Once a person is angry, he is easily overlooked, such as: Zhou Yi, who was either respectful in front of him in the past, or would rather take a detour than meet him, why did he suddenly take the initiative to provoke him in a "tlemn and tactful manner" today?
"Zhou Yi, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. I just think that my brothers are busy with the gold mine all year round and have no time to rest. Tomorrow is Mr. Peng's 60th birthday. If you are happy, you may have a celebration for everyone...all the world is celebrated!"
"Enjoy the whole world? You are sarcastic about me being incompetent and having weak strength, right?"
After saying that, before Zhou Yi could speak, he shouted coldly: "Come on! Zhou Yi was disobedient to discipline and provoked me. He hung him at the gate for a day, so that he could remember and figure out his identity so as not to know who was the decision here now."
"Dare you dare to swear me?" Zhou Yi was stunned at first, then shouted in anger.
"Hold him for three days!"
Liu Hu shouted in anger. He immediately rushed over to tie people up... The person was hung for three days. Not to mention anything else, the mosquitoes in the mountains could even bite people to death.
At this time, the two people around Liu Hu took a step forward, and the man on the left whispered: "Second Master, Zhou Yi is the third master's nephew at least... We are not able to swallow the third master's strength in one go. We should endure it first, and wait until the strength reaches it, then..."
The following words were not said, but everyone understood the meaning. The man on the right also whispered: "Yes! Second Master, if you want to accomplish great things, you must first learn to endure. This is what you usually teach us. Let's bear it for the time being and teach him a lesson. There is no need to force the Third Master to fight with you desperately for such a small matter. Kill one thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself. At that time, even if we can defeat the Third Master, our strength will inevitably be greatly damaged. If there is an old man watching it, I guess... Besides, tomorrow is your father-in-law's birthday. At this time, it's better not to see blood, so as not to be unlucky."
Liu Hu thought for a while and said, "For the sake of someone pleading for you, I will spare you this time, but I will never escape the crime of living. Come on! Take him into the water prison and lock him up for a day, and don't give him food and drink."
After saying that, Liu Hu looked at Zhou Yi coldly, who was still struggling, hummed heavily, and turned around and left.
Among the workers not far away, seven or eight men were watching all this, with three words floating in their hearts - it began!
They were all from the Assault Company, and they were sent in through connections early this morning to prepare for tomorrow...
