The carriage ran for a long time, and the two horses were panting and sniffing one after another. Their bodies were sweating all over. After running out of the valley, the tree stump stopped the carriage. We jumped out of the carriage and saw that it was already outside the mountain, with stars hanging in the wilderness, and everything was silent.

Finally I couldn't help it and asked the stump: "Why do you want to run?"

The stump said, "Can you not run? Run slowly and you will die."

I asked, "There are ghosts in the village?"

The tree stump said: "There are no ghosts in the village, but there is a plague. The dead bodies you see are all killed by the plague."

I asked, "What is a plague?"

The stump said: "Plague is a poisonous gas. This poisonous gas is very powerful. You will die if you take a breath."

I asked again, "Then there is no poison now?"

The stump said: "The poison gas is only found in the valley, but not on the plain."

Thinking of the experience just now, I suddenly felt creepy. I walked into the village and saw the dead bodies. I must have taken a breath of poisonous gas, so I was about to die. When I thought of death, I fell limp and sat on the ground and cried: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die."

The tree stump kicked me: "Get up, if you are fucking dead, you will have been dead long ago. Can you still live until now?"

I stood up and looked at the stump in confusion: "Didn't you say you'll die if you take a breath of poison? I must have sucked a lot."

The tree stump said: "The poison gas must have dissipated. If it doesn't dissipate, you can't even get out of the village."

That night, we could only sleep in the wilderness, found a cliff with leewards, lit a bonfire, and went to sleep around the bonfire. The tree stumps poured the horses, and the horses ate with relish by the bonfire.

The wilderness at night was very terrifying. You could hear the cry of owls from time to time, and the rustling footsteps of some unknown animal running. I had been holding my stool for a long time, and finally I couldn't hold it anymore. I said, "I want to shit."

The stump said, "Take aside."

I said, "I'm afraid, who will go with me?"

No one spoke, Cui'er picked up a wooden stick and said, "I'll go with you."

I walked out of the bonfire circle, and the tree stump was behind me and shouted, "Walk to the lower wind and pull it to the upper wind, which will make me suck my death."

I turned over and walked towards the downwind, and Cui'er followed me. We walked dozens of meters away before stopping.

I untied my belt and squatted down, and Cui'er also squatted across from me. She asked, "Do you know where he hides his money?"

I said, "I don't know."

Cui'er said: "If he steals money every day, he will have a lot of silver dollar bills. If he brings it with him, he will be so big that we can see it, but if we can't see it, it means that the money is not brought with him."

I asked, "Where can he hide it if he doesn't carry it with him?"

Cui'er said: "Yes, where will it be hidden?"

After I finished shit, I said cleverly: "It must be buried somewhere? Let's go back and dig it out."

Cui'er said: "It's impossible. You have to bury it every day, and you have to take it every day in the future. Besides, you may not be able to find it after burying it. We go all the way south and don't come back in the future, so how can we get it?"

I said, "Where will that be?"

Cui'er said, "I don't know either."

I said, "That's hidden in his clothes."

Cui'er said: "Do you know how heavy a silver dollar is? How heavy is a bunch of silver dollars? How can he walk if he wants to put so many silver dollars on his body?"

I said, "Then where did you think it will be?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the howling of a wild wolf came from a distance, with a low and terrifying voice. When I heard the wolf's scream, I shivered all over, remembering the scene of the night I had just been abducted.

Cui'er pulled me to the bonfire, and he whispered in my ear: "Please pay attention to where he hides his money?"

When I returned to the campfire, it was not long before I wanted to sleep. I saw others dozing off. The stump said, "Whoever gets up in the middle of the night, add some dry firewood to the fire and don't let the fire go out." Then, the stump fell asleep. There was nothing else in the wilderness, and there was so much firewood that I could just pull it on the ground, and it would be a handful of dry firewood.

I fell asleep without anyone talking. I knew that as long as there was a bonfire, the wolf would not dare to approach. Besides, we still had two horses and a monkey. If a wolf walked in, the monkey and the horse would warn in advance.

At midnight, I woke up and added some firewood to the fire. Seeing that others were sleeping soundly, I remembered Cui'er and asked me to pay attention to Gao Shulin's money. I secretly got up and slowly touched the carriage. I looked through everything on the carriage, but I couldn't find the money. Later, because I couldn't find the money, I had to give up and went back to the bonfire. Looking at Gao Shulin who was snoring and grinding his teeth, thinking, where would he hide the money?

After dawn, we set out again, followed the road out of the valley, walked to a three-way intersection, and turned on another road. This road must be the road to the south. On the road, we saw pedestrians carrying loads and bags, and the oncoming carts, and we believed that this was Kangzhuang Avenue, and what we walked last night was just a trail leading to the valley.

We walked more than ten miles away, and there was no village in front of us. Everyone was hungry. Some people suggested burying pots and making rice, and some suggested walking forward for a while to see if we could meet the villages and towns. Suddenly, smoke and dust rolled in the wilderness behind us, and a group of people rushed towards this side.

Gao Shulin and the tree stump looked at each other in horror. Bodhi was like a mouse, his whole body shrank into a ball. I was thinking about what these people did, and Gao Shulin suddenly shouted loudly: "Go away, go away."

The stump shook a long whip and the carriage began to speed up. However, no matter how much the carriage ran, it could not run away from the horse riders. They gradually got closer to us. Seeing the people who could not get rid of the pursuit along the avenue, the stump rushed the carriage to the hillside on the side of the road. However, the horse riders also chased the hillside. There was a forest on the hillside, and Gao Shulin shouted: "Jump down and get into the woods, hurry! Quick!"

We had just jumped out of the carriage, and the people riding behind us all jumped off the horse. The leader shouted: "Benefactor, don't panic, we are here to thank you."

We stopped hesitantly, not knowing what kind of kindness we will have to them and why they should thank us.

The leading man came to me and suddenly fell to the ground. He said, "If it weren't for you, my wife and baby would have died. You are our savior."

My monk is confused. How could I be their savior? Shouldn’t they admit the wrong person?

Gao Shulin walked forward and he smiled and helped the leader up. The leader waved his hand, and a man behind him untied a pocket from the horse's back and hugged it in his arms. The pocket was very heavy, and he held it in his arms and seemed to stagger. The leader pointed to his pocket and said, "If you don't respect me, please accept it."

Gao Shulin untied his pocket and saw that there were white silver dollars inside. Gao Shulin said, "How can this be done? How can this be done?" He pretended to push his pocket to those people, but he only refused, and his hands didn't touch his pocket.

The leader patted my shoulder and said, "Thanks to this little brother told us yesterday, otherwise my wife would not have known that mother and son would be in danger. I gave birth yesterday and gave birth to two boys."

Gao Shulin clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations, more joyful."

The group of riding horses put down their pockets filled with silver dollars and left. Gao Shulin picked up a silver dollar, leaned close to his mouth and blew it, and then put it in his ear to listen. He said happily: "It's really loud, it's real. Hahahaha..."

Everyone had smiles on their faces, but I saw the mysterious expression on Cui'er's face. He looked at the bag of silver dollars and looked at me again, as if he was thinking.

Gao Shulin said: "Go back, go back, take a bus, take a bus. Whether you encounter a county town or a town in front, you won't leave. Today is a day off. Each person is divided into two Xiangyuan, and you can spend whatever you like."

I don’t know how many silver dollars were, but I think there were at least a few hundred. Gao Shulin took out a handful of silver dollars from his pocket, and each person divided two. The rest sat under his butt, as if he was afraid that the silver dollars and pocket would fly away. The pocket was a striped bag woven with canvas to hold grain. After liberation, this kind of woven fabric called pockets was very popular. The cart of the People’s Commune was filled with pockets, and the pockets were filled with grain. They whipped the horses to transport grain, and sent it to the purchase station to support socialist construction and world revolution. When I was a child, only rich families had such pockets.

We got on the carriage and drove forward. Gao Shulin's face was full of smiles, and every wrinkle on his forehead was also a smile, and even a smile was on the corner of his mouth. I don't know how big a few hundred silver dollars would be, but I know it must be a lot of money, otherwise Gao Shulin wouldn't be so happy. Maybe, these hundreds of silver dollars could buy several shops and dozens of good horses. The family who gave birth to twins was really rich, and they gave us such a big sum at one's own move.

Cui'er looked at me, then looked at Gao Shulin and said, "Whose silver dollars should be?"

Gao Shulin said: "What's wrong? It's from the circus."

Cui'er said: "No, it should be someone from Dadou. They took the money to thank Dadou. Didn't you see someone just kneeling down to Dadou? They kept saying that Dadou was his life-saving benefactor."

Gao Shulin said: "Xiangyuan can be said to be given to Daidog or to circus. People kneel down to Daidog and said that he is his life-saving benefactor. This is true. But if there is no circus, will Daidog take the rope? If Daidog doesn't take the rope, can he see a baby in the yard? He can't see a baby in the yard, who would give him so much Xiangyuan? So, in the final analysis, this pack of Xiangyuan is for the circus. Whose circus belongs to, circus is mine, so my pack of Xiangyuan is for me. I spend whatever I want, and I give it to whoever I want."

Cui'er said: "Daigou has made such a great contribution, you can't just give him two silver dollars."

Gao Shulin said: "Then tell me, how much does it cost to Daigou?"

Cui'er said, "At least half of it should be given to Daigou." Cui'er looked at me again after saying that.

Gao Shulin said: "I have already said that this pack of Xiangyuan belongs to the circus, and I have the final say in the circus. I will give as much as I want to give to whom. Where is your turn to speak?"

Cui'er's face was red and red. I could see that she was very excited. She said, "You must have a conscience in life."

Gao Shulin was also excited, and he shouted loudly: "I offer you food and clothing, and raise you one by one to the next. Now that you have a hard wing, I will not recognize me. I am the most conscience in my work, but you have no conscience."

Cui'er suddenly screamed, and pointed at Gao Shulin and cursed: "You shameless thing, you shameless thing..." However, she turned around and turned and said that she couldn't tell any new words. I saw her eyes protruding and gritting her teeth, as if she was about to eat people. Qing'er pulled her arm and prevented her from pounceing on her.

Gao Shulin turned his head and stopped paying attention to Cui'er. The corners of his mouth twitched quickly.

The stump was driving the carriage, and he slowly said in front of him: "It's all a family, why are you quarrel?"

Cui'er suddenly started crying, and she cried very sadly. Qing'er comforted her and said, "Daigou is just a fool. You have to stand up for him and give him so much money. Where will he spend it? Will he spend it?"

Cui'er cried heartbrokenly, and she shouted, "No, it's not like this."
