Jiang Mengying pointed a gun at Piao Boyi and Hironami Yata, while Tie Fei threw the musket and rushed over to check the things that had fallen off my back.
"It's gold, all of it is gold!" Tie Fei shouted, "Haha, I'm going to be rich!"
"Let me see!" Jiang Mengying struggled to get up.
Tie Fei acted on impulse and unconsciously stood between Jiang Mengying and the two foreigners on the ground, blocking the gunfire.
Hironami Yata suddenly pushed Tie Fei from behind and rushed to Jiang Mengying, while at the same time, Piao Boyi grabbed my right leg and tried to pull me down.
Tie Fei was pushed by Hironami Yata and knocked down Jiang Mengying. Her gun went off, but the bullet shot into the sky.
I struck Piao Boyi hard with a knife hand, putting him down again, but it was too late. The handgun was snatched by Hironami Yata.
I rolled and quickly flashed behind a big tree.
Gunshots rang out, and bullets hit the tree trunk, causing pieces of bark to fly off.
The musket was already in my hands, but there was no time to load gunpowder.
I quickly pulled out the Steel claws from my bag and strapped them onto my feet and hands, then swiftly climbed up over three meters.
Hironami Yata cautiously turned around with a gun in hand, but didn't find my figure. As he was puzzled, I struck him heavily from above, causing the Japanese devil to roll his eyes directly.
I took the gun in my hand, removed the magazine, and then searched the devil thoroughly.
Piao Boyi realized that something was wrong here, and a sharp knife was pressed against Jiang Mengying's neck. He huddled behind the red down jacket, and Tie Fei lay on the ground, too scared to get up.
I emerged from behind the tree and said, "Release the person, and I'll let you go."
Piao Boyi glanced at the backpack containing gold and said, "I have to take that with me!"
"Why are you letting him go?" Jiang Mengying roared at me, as if it wasn't me who had just rescued her from being held at knifepoint by that Korean guy after negotiating terms.
"My gold, I have to get it back!" Tie Fei also perked up, "Give me the gun!"
In the distance came the howling of a dog, it was Da Huang. Accompanied by the wail of Piao Boyi.
I dragged the frightened Mengxin up.
Da Huang came back with blood all over, struggling to drag the backpack. The bag was torn, and there wasn't much gold left inside. Da Huang had a severely injured hind leg, and the crimson blood fell on the snow like plum blossoms. I tore a strip of cloth from my clothes to bandage it, and it affectionately licked my face with its tongue.
"You beast, where did you put my gold?" Tie Fei was furious.
Jiang Mengying snatched the backpack and followed Da Huang in search. Tie Fei hurried after, "This belongs to both of us!"
I don't want to see these two people again.
I carried a musket on my back, held the heavily bleeding Da Huang, and trudged back through the thick snow, stepping on Mengxin. Not long after, Jiang Mengying and Tie Fei came running to support each other, and Tie Fei pointed a gun at me, saying, "Help us carry this bag!" Without a word, he put the bag filled with gold on my shoulder. Some people are truly hopeless.
I glared at him and said, "Are you sure you want to do this?" Tie Fei looked a bit intimidated by my stare, but then he regained his spirit as he looked at the gun in his hand and said, "What's the matter, you don't agree? Believe me or not, I can make sure you won't see the sun tomorrow!" Suddenly, I gave him a swift kick right in his smug belly.
He bent over and aimed the gun at me, but I didn't flinch. With a click, the gun misfired. While he was stunned, I kicked him and knocked him to the ground. This is my territory! When I checked, I found that the gun was empty. I hadn't had a chance to switch to the live ammunition magazine I found on Hironami Yata.
The gun returned to my hand, and I tied Tie Fei up: "From the moment you pulled the trigger, you became a murderer. I have to take you back!"
Jiang Mengying looked pitiful again: "I, I didn't..."
I ignored her. This beautiful woman only had money in her eyes.
When it got dark, we returned to the front of that tree hole again.
I fed Da Huang some jerky, and boiled water in an old military aluminum kettle to drink.
Four people and a dog squeezed together, making it difficult to move.
Jiang Mengying eagerly pulled out a compressed biscuit from her bag: "Sir, have a piece of this, it'll stave off hunger." I didn't hesitate and took it, then handed it to Da Huang's mouth.

In a daze, Da Huang's low growl woke me up from my dream.
Da Huang is warning.
I squinted and looked outside in the snow, and saw several dark shadows lurking outside, they are wolves!
A foul smell filled the cave.
Da Huang is eager to protect its master and is growling low, wanting to go out and fight desperately, but I firmly hold it back. Outnumbered, I can't let it go out and die in vain.
Tie Fei and Jiang Mengying didn't make a sound, not sure if they were scared or confused, Mengxin shivered uncontrollably.
Alpha wolf is growling low, evaluating the situation and assigning tasks.
Finally, a huge head butted in, stretching its neck to bite at Tie Fei's outstretched foot.
With a "thump," the musket almost touched the wolf's head, and the wolf's body lay straight at the entrance of the tree hole. The huge sound reverberated in the narrow space, making our ears buzz.
Wolves, like dogs, have intelligence. These beasts knew that the sound just now was from the musket, and loading and priming the musket was extremely troublesome, especially in the dark when visibility was poor.
The dead wolf was dragged out by its own kind, and two wolf heads simultaneously stretched in. These beasts have targeted us.
Jiang Mengying began to cry out for help, kicking her legs back and forth. Tie Fei desperately pushed behind Jiang Mengying.
I handed Mengxin the musket and emptied a magazine into the wolf's head with a pistol.
The wolf pack howled outside, I loaded the last magazine and nervously watched the entrance of the cave.
As the day broke, Da Huang leaped up from beside me and dashed out ahead.
It's safe now.
When going downhill, when encountering a steep slope, I had the three of them tie their clothes and pants legs tightly, and then pushed them down the snowy slope. After slipping and sliding all day, we finally saw the Lookout tower. Mengxin, Jiang Mengying, and Tie Fei, who were almost exhausted, suddenly revived.
The accumulated snow in front of the wooden house has been cleared, and the solar panels on the roof are also exposed. The off-road vehicle has been swept clean. Tired and sleepy, but I can't stop the thousands of questions in my mind. I dragged three people into the wooden house.
The fire is burning brightly, the hot water is boiling, and the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes fills the air. When they saw me take off my fur hat, sheepskin coat, and remove my mask, Mengxin, Tie Fei, and Jiang Mengying were all speechless with their mouths wide open! Jiang Mengying had a fluctuating red and white complexion, Tie Fei almost buried his head in his crotch, and his legs were all wet.
I don't want to get involved in the mess between the two of them, I rub my hands and ask, "Tell me, what's the deal with you and Hironami Yata, Piao Boyi?"

It turns out, hidden in this remote place, there is a huge secret.
Laojingou is a 14-kilometer-long gold vein with extremely high gold content. This area was once the longest-held territory by the Japanese Kwantung Army. It was considered a colony and attracted nearly 200,000 Japanese immigrants who plundered wealth, built fortresses, and waged war. The region has extremely rich gold reserves, and the warehouses established by the Japanese army hide the plundered gold.
Hironami Yata's great-grandfather was once a member of the invading Japanese army. Documents found on him show that the Japanese looted 200,000 tons of ore containing 50 grams of gold per ton, totaling 160,000 taels of pure gold.
After their defeat, the Japanese realized they couldn't bring all the looted treasure back to Japan. They decided to destroy the area and permanently bury the stored gold in the primitive forest.
One of the mine shafts where the gold was stored was rigged with explosives by Hironami Yata's great-grandfather's squad. The Japanese soldiers, deluding themselves that they might one day reclaim the area's contents, hand-drew a map and passed this secret down through the generations.
When Hironami Yata came here, this kid chose to study in China, and he and Piao Boyi from South Korea were in cahoots, while the sycophantic Tie Fei became their guide. Jiang Mengying, lured by wealth and beauty, had long been coveted by Tie Fei. Unable to resist his temptation, she chose to join them on the road to riches.
The result was that they almost lost their lives here. Hironami Yata is Mengxin's lackey, and this time he persuaded Mengxin to come along. Whether they find the gold or not, he's going to "take care" of Mengxin.
Tie Fei Qi Qi Ai Ai finished speaking, looked at his pants and said, "Zhi Jian, my pants are wet. Can I go to the car to change?"
I nodded and loosened his bindings. He went out as if he had been granted amnesty.
Jiang Mengying lowered her head and dared not look at my face. "Zhi Jian, I... up to now, I haven't had a substantial relationship with Tie Fei. Can we start over?"
I remained silent.
She covered her face and started sobbing, looking pitiful.
Thinking of our past romantic moments, my heart ached.
Suddenly, the door was violently pushed open.
A dark barrel of a gun reached in.
It was Tie Fei, the previously amiable demeanor now turned fierce and menacing: "Qin, I won't say much else. Give me the handgun and the backpack with the gold, and we'll leave now. Otherwise, don't blame me for not considering our colleague relationship!"
He looked at Jiang Mengying with a lecherous expression and said, "You didn't want to bring this thing in the first place, but now it's playing an important role, right? We didn't catch any wild animals, so it's not bad that it can help us escape."
Jiang Mengying suddenly stood up and pulled the heavy backpack from the kang, saying, "You're just a poor loser from a poor mountain valley. Even if you chase after me, take a good look at your own character before you do anything!"
Da Huang made a threatening gesture, but I held him back.
Tie Fei pointed the gun at my chest, and Mengxin suddenly stood in front of me: "Tie Fei, Mengxin, you two are going too far. Zhi Jian brought us out from inside, how could you do this?"
12
The wooden door was locked from the outside.
Jiang Mengying's voice came in: "Pour gasoline in the trunk, burn him to death, and eliminate future troubles!"
Tie Fei: "My darling is always thoughtful!" Then he shouted loudly into the house: "Perfect, you two good people can be a pair of mandarin ducks in the same fate!"
I silently prayed for this pair of despicable couple in my heart.
Through the window, I saw their guns being thrown aside. Jiang Mengying opened the trunk, and Tie Fei struggled to lift a metal gasoline drum. But before he could unscrew the lid, a crisp gunshot echoed through the mountains and forests. Tie Fei was shot in the leg and fell to the ground.
Jiang Mengying screamed and turned to grab the hunting rifle on the side.
"Bang" another gunshot rang out, hitting Jiang Mengying's feet, scaring her into squatting down and covering her head with a "Oh my god".

There are many secrets here, others don't know, but I do.
In the era of "martial arts," it was still the time when my grandfather picked up a "five-sixth" rifle and two bags of bullets. When I was a child, I often saw him take it out for maintenance. The gun was half the height of a person, with a triangular bayonet, and a bunch of yellow bullets arranged on a curved magazine.
My grandfather was a veteran who had participated in the Vietnam War and was very skilled in marksmanship.
When the three of them came back, I noticed from afar that he was watching us from the lookout tower.
14
Now, my grandfather and I have both withdrawn from the woods.
"That place" has been completely taken over by our People's Liberation Army.
The organization rewarded the two of us with a sum of money, and also gave us a big house in the provincial capital. I married Mengxin. On our wedding night, Mengxin blushed and asked me to close my eyes. After a while, she shyly said, "Okay."
I eagerly opened my eyes, but instead of a picturesque scene, I was greeted by several large golden lumps in the opened quilt. "When you were fighting the Japanese devils, no one noticed, so I quietly hid these," Mengxin whispered in my ear. "With these things, we won't be afraid to have more children."
