３
A few days passed. Boss Mo also sent a message to Longjitun, saying that there was a large number of ironwood chopping boards to be shipped to the county town, and that all the horses in the village had to participate in the transportation. The next day, after breakfast, sixteen horses carried their owners and kicked up a cloud of dust as they raced towards Golden Dragon Street.
The last date red horse carried two masters, Ah Tao and his father. Before they set off, Ah Tao and his father had another verbal battle. The content was the same as last time. It was nothing more than Ah Tao wanting to go with his father, but his father did not agree. The reason was the same as last time. In the end, Ah Tao still won---the old waves pushed the new waves, and the new waves were stronger than the old waves!
Once they arrived at Boss Mo's backyard, they tied up the horses and started to get busy. Generally speaking, a horse had to carry at least 12 to 14 chopping boards. Before loading, the owner of the horse had to slightly process each cutting board once. The uneven surface of the cutting board had to be flattened, and the cracks had to be filled with the powder scraped from the cutting board, so that each cutting board reached or approached the level of first-class goods. This would take time to deal with. At that moment, everyone was busy grinding, scraping, and filling. By the time the chopping board was installed, the sun had already set.
Ah Tao and his father worked faster than everyone else. By the time everyone was done, the father and son had already rested for a while.
Hey! Is everyone ready? Ah Tao's father stood up and looked around. Although he was not the leader of the caravan, he was the oldest in the caravan. He still kept his word. In recent years, he rarely joined the caravan. It was only recently that Ah Tao's brother Ah Mao (Gan Zu) had a foot ache, so he returned to his old profession. Even so, when Nong Shaoxing was not present, everyone still listened to him.
It's done! Everyone answered in unison.
When it was packed, bring the horse over and load it. Prepare to go home! Tomorrow morning!
Yes!
At this moment, Mo Rongting walked over. Behind him was a man who looked like an officer. It was Shi Shiguang.
Everyone, you've worked hard! Mo Rongting stood at the side of the goods yard and shouted loudly with his big belly.
It wasn't hard at all! Most of them answered politely.
Why would he be afraid of hard work for money? Someone added.
It was hard work! Could it be that Boss Mo is going to reward us? Nong Shaoxing was a person who had drunk ink before, so he was talkative and added another sentence in a taunting manner.
Whoosh! These words were a little harsh! Could it be that I, Mo Rongting, am stingy? If he wanted a reward, he would immediately fulfill it. Boss Mo kept his word! However, let me introduce you to an officer first--
My name is Shi Shiguang! The history of history, the world of the world, and the light of light. Shi Shiguang took a step forward and introduced himself. I've been in Golden Dragon for a few months now, but I haven't met you all yet. Today was the first time. Just now, someone suggested a reward, so that was totally fine. However, there is a condition. I will have to use your 16 horses and 16 owners for a day tomorrow. You will be paid 10 Guangyang a day, including the horses and people. A total of 160 Guangyang will be paid by Boss Mo. You can collect it from him tomorrow afternoon. It was decided! Shi Shiguang said and walked away.
Everyone knew that military orders were like mountains! Officer Shi had a bad temper and no one dared to disobey him. So, your people and horses will stay at my house tonight. We will take action tomorrow morning. If anyone disobeys, Officer Shi will shovel their entire family! When that time comes, don't blame me, Boss Mo, for not informing you beforehand!
What operation? Transport what? How far? Can you tell us? So that we can make preparations!
This was a military secret! I can't tell you!
Mo Rongting also left. Ah Tao's father looked at the sky. The sun was setting behind the West Mountain. The sky gradually drew closer. He pulled Ah Tao aside and whispered," Hurry home and tell these people's families that we and our horses have been captured by Shi Shiguang. We can't go home tonight or tomorrow. When we pass by Nongchangtun, tell your Third Sister that Shi Shiguang may attack the guerrilla base of Wulian Village tomorrow. Ask your Third Sister to send someone to deliver a letter to the base overnight and ask the guerrilla detachment to be fully prepared to attack the enemy.
Ah Tao thought about it and said," Time is tight. It seems that I won't go home. I have to go directly to the base. It will take me two hours to walk there."
Are you going alone? I'm really worried!
He wasn't afraid. Third Sister had said that after Nongchitun, it would be the Jiefang District. It was very safe. Don't worry!
Alright then! Be careful on the road!
As he spoke, his father took out a self-made self-defense dagger from his left armpit and quietly handed it to Ah Tao.
Yes!
Ah Tao took the dagger and stuck it into his pants. He left Mo Rongting's backyard and stepped onto the bumpy mountain road that was more than 20 miles away from Wulian Village.
