Chapter 16 Southern Mountain Sculpture

——In the Loess Plateau of Shaanxi, in the Shiwanda Mountains of Guangxi, and in the primeval forests of Guizhou, I heard more than once that those mountain people who were originally very poor, one day, they suddenly discovered that the black or dazzling stone under their feet was a baby bump , they desperately plundered and occupied, and then used their own strength to occupy the mountain as king. After that, they built houses, abandoned their wives and concubines, kept bodyguards, spent money like water, acted as a domineering, became king and hegemony, and even gradually became Living in a secluded place, most people don't see each other easily. Even if parents, relatives and friends come, they have to ask for instructions and pass the customs before they are introduced.The life of the feudal royal family and the way of governing people seem to be the same as human nature in Chinese people. They are innate and do not need to be taught. In the twilight, located in the Baili Mountains at the junction of Guangxi Ziyuan and Xing'an, the lights are like stars. All over the mountains, rocks were drilled and cannons were fired, people called horses neighing, and there was a chaotic sound.

This situation makes people seem to see the era of steelmaking in 1958.However, according to my fathers, although there were such lights and such noises in the vast mountains and fields at that time, it was for the prosperity and strength of the entire country at that time.But now, there are also such lights and such noises, who are people for? To marry a daughter-in-law for my brother to build a bungalow; I can buy a concubine if I have money, and I pick one at will every day, just because the vain money is right under my feet, Wen Ai, the vain money is right under my feet... This is a little tune that came to my ears from the mountains and the wild.I can't help feeling it. 70 years have passed.From people singing about the building of socialism with one heart, to today's singing that I can buy concubines if I have money, the development of human history is sometimes really confusing.Brother Lin is here! ...Hey, what does he do?

Just as I followed my cousin, a poor man I just met, to the depths of a small street full of tents and grass shacks, and when I came to the gate of a rather elegant stone courtyard, the two men held iron spears in their hands. asked the young man, blocking me. For the convenience of the interview, I got to know Lin, a foreign trade buyer who specializes in reselling precious metals such as tungsten and antimony, through someone's introduction.Want to interview those cottage kings in the mountains?That's not an easy task, if you don't do it well, it will cost your life in surprise!The first time we met, Lin told me in such a tone.So, let me ask you, the famous Master Mu, to be your guarantor!Lin felt a little proud of my flattery: Cough, you writers, you just stay at home and make up nonsense, why do you have to be so stupid to engage in some kind of interview experience, it’s really nonsense!Well, let me, Lin, be an enthusiastic person again, but I have to say something first: first, you must promise not to offend the God of Wealth in the mountains; second, you are not allowed to tell my unit about the business I did people here.You have to swear!I swear to God, and put the purse I had with me at his home, saying: There is nothing valuable in it, a Nikon camera, and my author card and press card to criticize.Seeing that I, a poor scholar, put forth the energy to sacrifice my life to redeem my money, Lin Mou said happily, "It's got it!"Your little things are not enough to fill my teeth.To be honest, I agreed to help you with this favor because I admire the pens of you writers.Remember, from now on, you are my cousin, a cousin who wants to come out and get some work.How about it, let's go: it's late, the other side of the mountain is trying to lower the price again.We got married like this, and embarked on a journey that was both mysterious and new to me.

How serious are you, Ah Fu, Ergui, go on!The cousin opened the purse with a bang, took out two Marlboro cigarettes, threw them to the two gatekeepers, and then replied: This is my cousin, one of my own, bring it to meet the king!He has a way in Beijing and can help us ship! Cousin is worthy of being a veteran of the rivers and lakes. With a few words and a few tricks, he overwhelmed the two gatekeepers.A sycophant said: Lord Lin has great powers, great powers! - One said: "Go, the king is on the mountain today." This is the first clip.Followed by the second and third.My cousin used the same method to deal with it, and successfully brought me into a compound surrounded by high walls built of stones.

I asked my cousin: Do you spend like this every time you come?I think he threw at least six Marlboros. He smiled contemptuously, it's a little mean, it's easy to come and go after soaking these watchdogs, or it's hard to see Nan Batian even if you don't talk about doing business here; who is called Nan Batian? If all goes well, you'll see him after a while. We first sat in the stone courtyard for a while.My cousin said that this place is for business talks, called Juyi Hall.I looked up at the big wooden sign on the edge of the door. There were really three big characters written on it, and it turned out to be the ink marks of a well-known calligrapher!

In this area, from the county and provincial capitals to the common people, who doesn't know that there is a rich man on this mountain, Guo Quanlu who is known as Nanbatian!These three characters were written by Guo Quanlu who paid 3,000 yuan and invited the calligrapher. It's really the first time I've heard that a word is worth a thousand gold! What is this!Seeing that many people in the living room were discussing business, my cousin didn’t pay attention to the two of us, so he quietly told me: Guess how much this stone courtyard was built? I looked around the stone courtyard built with large blue stones, about the size of three basketball courts, and said:

Probably 3000, right? What? 3000 can build such a good castle in the air?Not to mention anything else, look at the passage below the stone courtyard, which is the stone passage we came up just now, with a total of 365 steps, all of which are made of large bluestones transported from the back mountain. More than 10 yuan, plus labor, road construction, and guard fees, it cost 20,000 yuan.Take a look at this stone courtyard again, with the blue sky and mist on the top, and cliffs on the left and right. Such a stone courtyard building hanging on the mountainside has very particular rock walls and copper walls inside and out. How much do you think it will cost? ?

After the cousin finished speaking, he slipped into the wing room in the courtyard without waiting for my answer.Probably he didn't want me to know too much about the business.At this time, a skinny middle-aged man came up to me and sat down, and said: Bro, it's a deal?Boss Li was so kind, he gave Ala another 3 tons, and at last he didn't make a trip in vain.If you don't know the sand, Shanghai is now picking up tungsten raw materials!Allah got these 3 tons, grandma's, saved half of Shanghai city!The Shanghai fellow was talking happily, while taking out a pack of Jian brand cigarettes from his pocket and throwing it at my arms, crossing his legs, singing that it doesn't match whether it is the southeast wind or the northwest wind.

I was stunned for a moment, and thought to myself: I have never met each other before, so Jingyan shouldn't be like this, right?But thinking about the role that Jiuji played today, he pretended to be chivalrous and opened the cigarette, secretly took out a cigarette, and inhaled like a puff of smoke. In the evening, the host hosted a banquet.This specification makes a person like me who thinks he has participated in the national greed a few times lose his share.It's not because the dishes are cooked particularly well, but because the genuine things on the owl are overwhelming.Bear's paws from Northeast China, bird's nests from the sea, snakes from Guangdong, big river crabs from Shanghai... you name it.The wine is all Moutai. It is said that the king of this cottage is particularly fond of this wine.

Come, come, take care of everyone, let everyone have a good drink, and get out the 30 tons of black lumps collected from various hills tomorrow morning! It's nothing to say, Second Master, if you say a word, none of us did it for Big Brother Guo with our heads on our shoulders! Yes, Second Master!This Juyi Hall is picturesque, with delicious wine and feasts, making me drunk and dreamy, only a few beauties are missing to accompany me! Don't worry, stay for a while, the second master will help you get some beautiful girls from the bottom of the mountain.Hot girls from Sichuan, pink girls from Hangzhou, and dolls from Guangzhou, you can choose!

it is good--!Long live the second master! There was a lot of anger on the wine table.In the end, the two were so drunk that they rolled under the table. After the meal, I roughly counted the food and wine on the table. There are three tables of people, and if there is no 4,000 yuan, I can't get it anyway.Treat you like this all year round?I asked my cousin. Basic Lang is, is there a higher one?It was a banquet hosted by Guo Quanlu in person.He rarely does, though. How much does he have on hand?Can you afford it?People who come to eat and drink don't pay for it themselves? You are a layman.The people who serve the wine table all come to the mountain to buy goods.Nan Batian has nearly 2,000 miners who can mine at least 20 tons of tungsten ore every day.He sold it to us for 3,000 yuan per ton. In fact, the cost he spent was less than 700 yuan.How much does he earn per ton per grate?He spent three or five thousand on us people, but how much did he earn?He has a keen eye!If he spends more on us, he can transport dozens of tons of ore from the mountain.And there is plenty of ore on the mountain, and it will not be shipped out after three or five years of work.He spends it as a favor from inside and outside, and it is actually a huge profit! Brother Cu's words made me suddenly enlightened.However, even so, I still don't seem to understand where Guo Quan's nickname is Nanjiaotian. Just to say that you Beijing officials don't know what to do, and sometimes you are not convinced. Guo Quanlu said that who doesn't know that there are hundreds of miles around?He quietly pushed open the back door of the stone courtyard, and asked me to raise my head and raise my mouth to face the front.I saw a place about a hundred meters high in front of me, and there was a hole with lights on. From that hole, I could vaguely see 4 people holding things walking back and forth.That was Guo Quanlu's den, and the people at the entrance of the cave were his bodyguards.It is said that he killed many bodyguards.If you can watch him go down the mountain, the formation will definitely surprise you.Once, I met and counted, there were 12 pairs of bodyguards around me alone, plus dozens of entourages, which can be described as mighty.When I went down the mountain, I happened to meet a big cadre from the province who went to the countryside to inspect the work. 4 Hey, this Guo Quanlu rich and powerful ancestor!He was sitting in a Santala given to him by a buddy of the Northeast Railway, and behind him was a convoy of more than a dozen jeeps and tractors. side of the road... When did he start? That was 4 years ago.Guo Quanlu and his gang heard that the mountain was full of treasures, so they gathered a group of veterans. He himself had been a scout in the army for 3 years, and he knew how to use the three-legged cat to go up the mountain and occupy a mine.At that time, although Guo Quanlu and the others knew that the ore on this mountain was a treasure, they didn't know how to turn it into money.Coincidentally, a few people came from Guangdong at this time. These guys knew the goods, and they knew at a glance that they could make a fortune abroad, so they paid a lot of money to buy them from Guo Quanlu.After accounting for it, the Cantonese sold it to the Fujianese, making a profit of 150,000 yuan.When Guo Quanlu heard about it, he became impatient. He took Tiao people up the mountain to stop the Cantonese, saying that the mine belonged to them, and demanded the 150,000 yuan back.As the saying goes, if you smell fishy, ​​you want to eat big fish.Guo Quanlu didn't do anything, and he didn't stop, and when he turned around, he drove the Fujian man away again.With just such a toss, he made a net profit of more than 500,000 yuan in a mine on the mountain, and he transformed himself into the king of the cottage in this area.He gathered his brothers, sisters, relatives and friends together to form a mining team, occupied 13 mountain tops with mineral deposits, and then took advantage of the appetite of those poor men from other places who wanted to make a fortune, like the first time, he took more than 30 mines. A mine was sold to foreigners.In less than half a year, these mines were preliminarily completed and began to make profits. Guo Quanlu gathered thousands of local people from his hometown, and took all these mines back from the hands of foreigners.I don't know how many people were killed by Guo Quanlu's poisonous move!A foreigner from Wuhan was ruined by the town of Guo Quanlu. The whole family thought about it, and drank dichlorvos together on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve... I feel trembling all over.The ruthless reality made my blood boil and filled with righteous indignation. Nanbatian is right in front of my eyes.Didn't I just drink and eat the blood and sweat he squeezed from countless people?I feel sick! Let's go, let's go to the hole above, I want to see with my own eyes the present-day Nanyingtian!I pulled up my cousin's skirt and was about to go up. No, no!I had an appointment before going up the mountain, and you had to treat it as my cousin who was doing business with me from the beginning to the end, so I agreed to bring you here. You are like the Communist Party holding a red flag to eliminate bullies. How dare I take you to meet Guo's face!He is unwilling to live or die. Looking at his appearance, I thought for a moment and said, "Okay, that's what I listen to."But I must go to Nanbatian's lair! Seeing that I was so determined, my cousin had no choice but to agree.He went to discuss with the second master in Juyi Hall.The title on Erye Yi's business card was the business manager of the mine.He is Nan Batian's younger brother, and anyone who comes down from the mountain must get his permission or introduction before they can enter Guo Quanlu's lair. After a while, my cousin told me that I could go up the mountain.He looked rather unhappy.I stared at him suspiciously, and found that the gold watch on his left wrist that could only play music suddenly disappeared.What, did you give me a favor again?I feel a little remiss. He smiled wryly, and said: Who made me meet such a cousin who prefers to travel to Tiger Mountain? The mine where the villain made his fortune is before my eyes.Today, it is the palace of the famous Nan Batian. Stop, come here first!At the entrance of the cave, a young man with an earthen gun took us to a stone hut next to the entrance of the cave.We were told to drop everything we had with us.After that, another body search came. I was so angry that my face was livid. If my cousin hadn't winked again and again, I would have beaten the boy severely. The entrance of the cave is not big, once you step in, you feel as if you have entered the underworld.There was electric light inside, but for some reason kerosene torches hung around the wide walls of the cave.Perhaps the master would like to take advantage of this darkness to set off more of his own power!The cave was obviously man-made, consisting of three sets of holes, the outer hole is not big, and it looks like all the bodyguards live there.There are several small holes in the middle hole, and each small room is marked with a small sign, which says Finance Department, Administration Department, Security Department... Undoubtedly, this is the head office of the Shanzhai King. We entered the innermost cavern.It is very big, equal to twice the size of the middle hole. I was surprised to find that the light inside is particularly good.Taking a closer look at the cave wall, it turns out that the wall covering was made of snow-white, with a few strips of gold paper embedded in the wall covering, plus a huge willow-style chandelier in the middle of the hall, and the ground paved with scarlet carpet, The entire cave hall looked extremely magnificent.Teresa Teng's lingering voice echoed in the cave. As soon as we sat down on the brand new sofa, two girls in miniskirts came over and made us a steaming cup of Nescafe. Brother Lin, haven't seen you here for so long?You can't be cruel!Ah Qin, I'm about to get sick from boredom!One of them seemed to know his cousin very well, and he hugged his plump body tightly to his cousin with a big fuss, with a pair of white and tender arms hanging around his neck, flirting tenderly. Yeah?You never take me seriously!The cousin's words changed. I hurriedly turned my head away. Brother, is this your first visit?You can stay longer!I was entangled by the other, and the pair of soft hands on the shoulders gave me goosebumps all over my body. Hee hee, let's go in and talk.She was affectionate, and her voice was extremely soft, but it seemed to be an irresistible order. When I stood up from the sofa and visited my cousin, he had already disappeared. Haha, hurry up, hurry up! Happy, happy! Suddenly, there came a series of laughter from men and women whose voices had changed.I looked around, only to realize that there were several trap doors around the hall, which partially concealed the waiting rooms.One of them was very large, and the most obscene noises were made there.Although I didn't know it!Who are the people behind and what are they doing, but with my intuition, I completely understand! What kind of mine owner's lair is completely a brothel for men and women!And I concluded that the person staying in the room with the most obscenities and the loudest voices was Nanbatian Guo Quanlu! Yanhuo, why do you want to come here?I scolded myself, and walked out of this dark den with a wave of my hands.Behind him, the witch was yelling non-stop.And I didn't even look back, I walked through the 4 Juyi Hall and walked to the foot of the mountain. After a long time, my cousin rushed over with a flashlight and asked me anxiously: Why did you go down the mountain alone?I saw Guo Quanlu just now, and he said he wanted to see you!go up! No, I don't want to stay here any longer! Then...then you can't see Nan Batian, isn't it for nothing? No.I have seen enough!A complete upstart, a shameless feudal ghost!I burst the words through my teeth.Seeing my cousin at a loss, I quickly stretched out my hand and said, "Thank you for your help, today is not in vain!" I can rest assured that!He said: My business with Guo Quanxiang has not been concluded yet.look…… Go up the mountain, don't miss your business.However, I hope you will be here for the last time too.I firmly believe that in a socialist country led by the Communist Party, the days of copycat kings like Guo Quanlu will not last long! The cousin nodded thoughtfully. He went up the mountain again.leave me alone.The night tongs surrounded by dark mountains.But on the hilltops not far away, there are little lights, noisy voices, and occasionally a few mixed curses and proud folk songs...
