Chapter 616 Changjia Village 31
Meng Guan had his back to the two of them. For some reason, the lame Zhang De's coughing actually stopped slowly.
After a while, the man became much more sober.
Old Wu came forward in surprise.
Meng Guan stood up and made room for him.
Wang Honghong approached with a curious look on her face. "Aren't you studying something like mechanics? When will you be able to heal illnesses and save lives?"
"Computer." Meng Guan rolled his eyes and lowered his voice, "My sister-in-law prepared some medicine for Brother Jiang. I scraped out some for him to take."
Wang Honghong: "I thought so."
It’s no surprise that the medicine was prepared by my sister-in-law. In Wang Honghong’s eyes, Ye Rou is equivalent to a miracle doctor.
It's just a minor cough, just take it easy.
Wang Honghong said sourly, "Brother Jiang is so lucky. He got married and someone even prepared medicine for him when he went out."
"Say this in front of Brother Jiang." Meng Guan gave him a look.
Seeing that Lame Zhang was fine, Old Wu treated the two of them much better.
Meng Guan raised his eyebrows, there was hope.
Wang Honghong immediately understood, went over and started asking questions to the two groups of people who were arguing below.
They were making a lot of noise, but since they were hiding far away and their accents were strong, I couldn't hear a word they said.
Seeing that Wang Honghong wanted to know, Old Wu pointed at the two groups of people and said:
"The one wearing the blue hat is Zhao Shan, and those following him are all from Zhaojia Village and Lijia Village at the foot of the mountain. His father is the village chief of Zhaojia Village."
Wang Honghong looked in the direction he pointed and saw a man in his thirties holding a shovel. There was a centipede-like scar on his left cheek, which shone shiny in the strong light.
Wang Honghong looked at the sturdy and tall Zhao Shan and was puzzled: "Why is the village chief's son mining here?"
The mine is very large, and there is more than one mine. From what Brother Jiang said, Zhaojia Village and Lijia Village also have their own mines and have mining licenses. There is no need to go to an illegal mine to work as a miner, right?
"Because of greed." Lame Zhang came back to his senses. He knew that he had been to the King of Hell's Palace. His attitude towards the two people, especially Meng Guan, was very kind.
He sneered, "How much is too much?"
Old Wu also said, "I heard from people in the two villages who know the inside story that this mine is an unreported illegal mine. Zhaojia Village, Lijia Village, and Changjia Village have been fighting for many years to seize this mine, and no one is willing to give it up."
"Finally, the commotion got so bad that, fearing disaster, Chang Long and two other village chiefs, led by a woman, sat down to discuss ownership of the mine."
"Chang Long has sales channels, and this mine is indeed closer to Changjia Village. Chang Long is in charge of the mine, and the other two villages each get 20% of the sales proceeds, while Changjia Village gets 60%. This is how the dispute was settled."
Cripple Zhang continued, "But the people from the other two villages were afraid that Chang Long would deceive them and falsify the amount of mining. That's why they sent people from the other two villages here. In name, they were mining, but in reality, they were supervising."
Wang Honghong understood what was going on. He pointed at the two groups arguing fiercely and asked, "So what are they arguing about now?"
Old Wu gestured to Wang Honghong to look down.
The man standing opposite Zhao Shan was hitting his palm with a steel pipe, and there was a faded wolf head tattoo on the back of his neck.
"That's Luo Laojiu, who escaped from prison three years ago." Lame Zhang suddenly interrupted:
"Zhao Shan's brother, Zhao Hai, was killed by rocks when the mine collapsed last month. Zhao Hai wasn't wearing a helmet and was crushed to death by rocks. Zhao Shan didn't believe this and thought Luo Laojiu had killed his brother.
"Zhao Shanyi wanted Luo Laojiu to avenge his brother. He started to frequently lead his miners to cause trouble, causing trouble for Luo Laojiu. This time was also..."
The words were cut off by the roar from below.
Zhao Shan suddenly swung his shovel at the coal truck, roaring amidst the flying sparks: "I work twelve hours a day drilling holes, and the money I earn isn't even enough to buy anti-inflammatory drugs!"
The crowd immediately erupted in response, with a dozen miners swinging their pickaxes and the headlights on their helmets flashing like a sea of pale stars.
Luo Laojiu sneered and spit out his cigarette butt, pressing the tip of the steel pipe against Zhao Shan's chest: "You little bastard, what on earth do you want to do?"
With the constant trouble, Luo Laojiu's patience ran out. He ignored Chang Long's warnings and only wanted to deal with this brat, letting him know who his father was.
The two scarred men behind him yanked the chains violently, and the winch suddenly roared as it wound up the wire rope. The coal bucket car hanging at the edge of the mine made a teeth-grinding squeak—it stopped right above Zhao Shan's head.
Zhao Shan wasn't afraid of this move. He puffed out his chest and stretched his neck to shout, "Just try and see if you dare to touch me!"
Luo Laojiu really didn't dare to touch Zhao Shan, or rather, he didn't dare to touch Zhao Shan in front of so many people.
Even his brother Zhao Hai is...
Seeing Luo Laojiu remained silent, Zhao Shan became even more arrogant: "More money or work five days and take two days off, it's your choice."
"Don't go too far!" Luo Laojiu gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words.
"What's wrong with me bullying you?" Zhao Shan raised his hand and pushed Luo Laojiu, "Damn it!"
"You little bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
The veins on Zhao Shan's neck bulged. The moment the shovel swept across, Luo Laojiu's steel pipe had already hit his crown.
The crisp sound of metal clashing tore through the night, and the two groups of people collided like a flood bursting from a dam.
The dull thud of a mattock biting into a shoulder mixed with screams. Someone was hit in the eye by an iron chain, and blood splattered and flowed down with steam.
Meng Guan looked down and said in a deep voice, "They saw blood."
When they heard the blood, Old Wu and Lame Zhang's faces changed and they quickly stood up, and asked Wang Honghong and Meng Guan to pick up the pickaxes and follow them.
"What's wrong?" Wang Honghong was confused.
"That lunatic is coming out."
Wang Honghong was puzzled: "What..."
"Bang!"
The gunshots sent coal slag tumbling down.
Everyone froze into a frozen state.
Jiang Chen could see more clearly from his high vantage point. There was a man standing in the back. He had been there from the beginning. When he first saw the two gangs fighting fiercely, he stretched lazily and fired a shot at the crowd.
A young miner in the crowd suddenly fell down, and his blood dripped onto the loess, turning it into a dark red swamp.
The two groups of people were as quiet as chickens, not daring to move.
The man walked out of the shadows holding a gun. He was a pale and slender young man with heavy dark circles under his eyes. He stared at the messy hair and glanced gloomily at Zhao Shan and Luo Laojiu who were in the lead.
He scratched his ears and said impatiently, "It's so noisy."
The muzzles of the gun pointed at the cowering crowd one by one. Zhao Shan and Luo Laojiu were tall, and they showed no intention of resisting the young man and were extremely honest.
"If you don't want to eat the meat soup, then...be quiet." He lowered his voice to say the last two words.
The mine, which was so noisy just now, seemed to have pressed the mute button. Apart from the clanging sounds of mining, no one dared to speak loudly.
"Cleaned up." The young man said this, yawned and slowly returned to the shack area built for the supervisor.
The young man who was shot was put into a sack. Zhao Shan had a gloomy face and led his men to drag the sack out.
Wang Honghong stared at the blood all along the way, her face gloomy: "Who is that person, so arrogant?"
Old Wu shuddered and lowered his voice to a very low voice: "The person Chang Long found, Luo Laojiu's leader."
Meng Guan discovered the key and asked in a deep voice, "What is meat soup?"
Hearing these three words, Old Wu and Lame Zhang shuddered.
A Mao was young and had a good relationship with Old Wu and Lame Zhang. He came over to look for the two of them, but when he heard these three words, his face turned pale instantly, and he covered his mouth and retched.
