V. Living under someone else's roof
He slept and woke up at times during the night, and his sleep was very unstable. Fortunately, nothing happened that night, and the sky finally lit up.
Waiting for someone was really uncomfortable. She looked anxiously at the road countless times, but there was no sign of a car or person.
It was already noon, but there were still no rescuers. Guan Yunwu and Zhou Xingzong couldn't take it anymore. They pushed open the car door and climbed out like two mud monkeys. The two of them stood beside the car with a straight face and watched the muddy water slowly pour into the driver's seat without saying a word. The three of us looked at the two of them in astonishment. The two of them were covered in mud, and their faces were white and black. They looked like Beijing opera faces, very funny. Bi Min couldn't help but laugh out loud and quickly turned her head away.
Guan Yunwu's mouth moved, but she didn't say anything. Zhou Xingzong's usual gentleness was gone as he started to curse,"This weather is really ridiculous! I said wait two days, wait two days, isn't it…"
Chen Hui arrived with three hand-guided tractors around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Hui said that they had already contacted the villagers, but they could not find a car that dared to go on the road. It took a lot of effort to hire these three tractors at a high price.
Zhou Xingzong said that the tractor couldn't pull the car, so he had to wait for the weather to clear up.
The hand-guided tractor was moving unsteadily, making people more worried than sitting in 1041. However, they managed to climb to the Kuangqu without any danger.
The Kuangqu had set up a checkpoint on the road. It was just a small red brick house built by the roadside with a wooden fence. When they saw us, a person wearing a camouflage uniform and carrying an automatic rifle came out. Everyone was shocked. But he didn't care about us and opened the wooden fence to let us pass.
Zhou Xingzong had said that this checkpoint was the mine. The mine was under the jurisdiction of Wa State, and this checkpoint was set up by the Ministry of Mines. You can pull anything in, but you can't pull it out. You have to check it out. If they were to pull out the ore, regardless of the grade, they would charge 200 yuan per car. There was no charge for mining in the Kuangqu.
This was a simple and practical method. It was said that the Wa people did not have their own language, and their concept of numbers was not strong. There were complete names within 100, and those above 100 only had 150, 200, 250, 300, 350... He didn't know if this method was related to this. Zhou Xingzong said that if they were to charge according to what percentage of the weight, they would not be able to calculate it at all.
The old man's shed was on the side of the mountain. His surname was Zhang, and he was not old. Everyone called him Boss Zhang. It was said that he had made a fortune from the lead and silver mines in his hometown and came to Myanmar after tasting the benefits. However, there was no ore yet, and hundreds of thousands had already been deposited.
Boss Zhang was very polite to Guan Yunwu. He said that this was great. Guan Gong was here and he wanted to ask Guan Gong to take a look at what the problem was.
From his words, I could tell that the reason why Boss Zhang was willing to take us in was most likely because he wanted to get Guan Yunwu and give him face. Luo Ruhui called him the national treasure, Mr. Giant Panda. Otherwise, we won't even have a place to stay since we're new here. Could it be that they were going to camp in the wilderness?
Boss Zhang's cook cooked a big pot of noodles for us. The noodle soup lacked water. Without a veil, it was just dry noodles. However, I ate to my heart's content and actually ate two big bowls. Thinking about it carefully, it should be caused by the environment. The air here was extremely fresh. When one inhaled it, the cool sensation in one's throat would actually return to sweetness, making one feel refreshed and have a great appetite.
After dinner, we went to wash up. There was a mountain spring at the back of the mountain. It flowed down the mountain and splashed into a pool surrounded by stones. The green pool is full of white water, and the jade is splashed with flying beads, which is very popular. The water was clear and cold. Fortunately, the temperature wasn't low. Everyone was only wearing their underpants and had a good time. Bi Min was a little embarrassed. She hurriedly washed up and went back.
After washing up, everyone discussed. The top priority was to build his own shed as soon as possible and start his own business to solve the problem of food and accommodation, creating conditions for the follow-up personnel. Although we are from the same hometown, we don't have any friendship with Boss Zhang. Adding so many people to the food and accommodation was undoubtedly a huge burden and trouble. It would definitely not work if it was prolonged.
They discussed for a while. Everyone quickly went to prepare their sleeping quarters. The sky was going to get dark soon, and there were no electric lights here.
They slept in a rotten bamboo shed. He didn't know what mine owner had left behind. There were only a few thin bamboo strips surrounding the area, and most of them were empty. There were no doors or windows at all. To make matters worse, the felt on the roof had aged and cracked in many places.
However, this was something that could not be helped. He could only make do with it. We spread a few pieces of tarpaulin on the damp, moldy floor. He pulled up the mosquito net and made the bed.
Fortunately, Bi Min went to sleep with Boss Zhang's wife, so I was relieved.
In the middle of the night, I was awakened by a sound. I listened carefully. The whistling mountain wind mixed with the faint sound of tinkling, which was especially crisp and pleasant in the middle of the night. What was that sound? Was it the temple's bell or the caravan passing by?
