It was dim at night, and by the burning bonfire, Gao Jin sat next to his father. The guys returned to the camp to rest as usual, while the uncles and uncles divided into two groups of people, and they were divided into vigils in the middle of the night. During the day, the group of horse thieves were still looming behind the caravan, thinking that they would do something tonight.

"Xiaojin, where did you learn how to prospect?" Gao Chong fiddled with the dark bonfire, fresh air flowed in, and the fire suddenly lit up, illuminating his face. The majestic man felt a little guilty in his eyes. Over the years, he has been busy taking caravans to travel to the frontier and business, and rarely communicates with his son. Every time he comes back from the frontier, he only takes his homework and martial arts. If he cannot satisfy him, he will be the service of the family law of the rattan family.

"It's okay if you don't say it." Gao Chong paused for a moment and said again.

Gao Jin did not make any noise. Of course, he could not explain the so-called ability to prospect, so he could only push it on the filthy book in the bookstore in Shenmubao. Now his father Gao Chong's words made him feel a little relaxed. Thinking about it deeply, I am afraid that my father would not believe the casual "book shop" he said.

"But don't make any noise about the prospecting skills, and don't show them easily in front of others in the future." Gao Chong said with a solemn expression. Of course, he knew the benefits of opening a large coal mine, but this benefits are often accompanied by trouble. Over the years, he has taken a group of old brothers to go out of business outside the border, and has been struggling to find a way from scratch. Not only is it because he and these brothers can fight and kill, but it is also because he has helped him with his old friends back then.

Without enough food protection, the so-called benefits are a fatal disaster. Gao Chong has understood this truth since he was on the Korean battlefield. They are still too weak, so weak that they are obviously beneficial, but they dare not seek it!

"I know, dad." Gao Jin nodded and agreed. He understood this concern. Under the Meiji Dynasty, almost all the miners who could mine were local tyrants.

At that time, Yiwu miners, one of the main sources of the Qi family army, fought fiercely in order to fight for the mines, so the local government could only watch from the side. The so-called official army did not dare to step forward to stop it.

Yulin is a place where coal is exported, and Shenmu County, Fugu County also has a coal mine industry, but behind these coal mines are generals, deputy generals, generals, and garrison commanders, these great tycoons have no power or power, and their father Gao Chong is just a general bannerman. If they really want to open a coal mine, they will definitely be swallowed up completely.

Gao Jin had never imagined these joints before, but now he could immediately understand them as soon as they were mentioned. At this moment, he regretted his urge to go out to find minerals during the day.

"Okay, Xiaojin, you don't have to be upset. Only Uncle Chen knows your ability to prospect. Everyone else thinks you are lucky."

Gao Chong looked at the expression on his son's face and knew that Gao Jin understood what he meant. He comforted him and then said.

"Don't show it again from now on. You have to remember that the great ability is the best. If you don't have the ability, no matter how great the benefits are, no matter how great the benefits are, it is not yours."

Gao Chong told his son earnestly about his own experience, while Gao Jin listened quietly. The father and son had never been able to sit together like they are now. Gao Jin understood that his father Gao Chong used to treat him as a child, but now he treats him as an adult. In a trance, Gao Jin felt that the past period was like a dream. Although he remembered it clearly, the real life was in front of him.

"Your grandfather was a soldier from Haining Guards back then. Later, he followed Grandpa Qi to fight south and north, and finally went to Ji Liao to guard the border and made many achievements. Unfortunately, Grandpa Qi was framed by a villain later, and your grandfather's old soldiers from the Qi family were also implicated."

Gao Chong talked about family affairs with his son for the first time. The ancestors of the Gao family were military households in Haining Guard, Zhejiang. Grandpa Gao Jin once worked hard to become a deputy family, but unfortunately, as soon as Grandpa Qi left, the old subordinates of the Qi family army were dismembered and replaced by Jiubian.

Gao Chong was born in Liaodong and only followed his father to settle down in Shaanxi when he was a teenager. When Grandpa Qi was the commander of Jiliao, the Qi family army was naturally famous. However, after Grandpa Qi's death, the Qi family army was dismembered. Although the old soldiers of the Qi family army were dispersed to the Jiubian side as elites, there were rivers and lakes in places where there were people. The Qi family army was prestigious in Jiliao for more than ten years, and naturally was hated by other military leaders on the Jiubian side.

"In the 13th year of Wanli, your grandfather was transferred to Yulin Town. The general Wang Wei of the then general also valued your grandfather very much, but your grandfather only obeyed Grandpa Qi in his life, so he naturally could not say that he was loyal to General Wang. In addition, the villain caused trouble, your grandfather was eventually excluded from General Yansui." Speaking of his father's insistence back then, Gao Chong also looked sighing. If his father had bowed his knees to General Wang to express his loyalty, the Gao family might be now the general in the Camel City, rather than the dilapidated house in a small fortress now.

Gao Jin knew very little about his grandfather because he had already died in battle before he was born. His father Gao Chong rarely mentioned this grandfather, but he never thought that he would talk to him about these past events today.

"When I was young, I thought that if your grandfather was not so stubborn at the time, maybe I am now a thousand households, so why do I need to work so hard to deal with the wind and sand horse thieves outside the border?"

"Did grandpa regret it later?"

"What do you regret? When your grandfather died in battle, he still held his knife and shouted 'killing thief'. When he took his last breath, he said that he did not embarrass Grandpa Qi."

When Gao Jin's grandfather died, Gao Chong's expression was very complicated. He once resented why his father could not bow to the General Wang. In the end, he was sent to the most dangerous place when he was guarding against Qiu, so that he lost his father and was excluded and bullied by the local martial arts children. However, when he grew up, he realized that bowing his head was not an easy task.

In order to integrate into the military generals in Yulin Town, Gao Chong married the daughter of a local household, but even so he was still regarded as an outsider. When he was fighting on the Korean battlefield, the one who had the best relationship with him was the military generals in the Zhejiang army. When he made contributions and returned to Hekou Village, his official positions in the hundreds of households were not even warmed up, and his superiors took the excuse to take them away.

Gao Chong didn't look down, but he found that even if he bowed his head, it was useless. What those people wanted was not him bowing his head, but to be a dog. At that time, Gao Chong realized that maybe his father had already understood this and was unwilling to bow his head, but rather to die in the battlefield.

After listening to the story of his grandfather and his father, Gao Jin was silent and speechless. Compared to his grandfather, his father Gao Chong seemed even more tragic. He lowered his head and fought for his life, and wanted to use his hard-working martial arts to change his destiny. On the Korean battlefield, his father won the official position of a hundred households with his military achievements, but who would have thought that when he returned home in glory and thought he could show his strength, he would welcome the suppression of the garrison.

"Dad, we can always make a fortune outside the frontier with our own fists." Gao Jin spoke. His father didn't need comfort. He had been through the wind, frost, rain and snow for so many years, and had forcibly fought with a group of brothers. All he had to do was tell his father, and he was the same.

"Own fist." Gao Chong smiled, then put his big hand on Gao Jin's head and said, "In Shenmu Fort, you have a backer for your father, otherwise you would think that many people in the fortress were jealous of our caravan, even Zhang Gui kept staring at it."

"I have told you so much today. I want to tell you a truth. When people should bow their heads, they should bow their heads. Never lower their heads and look unwilling to be reluctant, and finally they will not please them."

After saying that, Gao Chong laughed loudly at the shocked expression on his son's face. Although he said he was bowing his head back then, he was not scheming at that time. The so-called bowing posture was unruly in the eyes of those old foxes, so that he was wasting his life for half a lifetime. Now he just wants his son to learn from his lessons and never repeat his mistakes.

"Dad told me to learn to act in full..." Gao Jin murmured at his laughing father. He was no longer the ignorant boy in the past. His experience and experience of struggling in society made him know how correct his father Gao Chong's words were.

"Xiaojin, you are really enlightened." Gao Chong smiled with relief. His own father died early and no elders could guide him. He himself was born with a proud and arrogant personality. It was not until he had suffered so many setbacks and failed over the years that he understood these principles.

...

Just as the father and son were talking in a heart-to-heart talk, Wei Lianhai suddenly walked over, "Brother, those horse thieves camped in the valley that Erlang found during the day, not far from us."

"These thieves followed all the way, and it would be a disaster after all." After hearing Wei Lianhai's words, Gao Chong's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He was an extremely outstanding officer. Even though he had not been in the army for many years and had only been in business with a group of old brothers, the affairs of this rank were only sharper than those in the border army.

"Dad has long guessed that they will go to the valley?" Looking at his father who was standing up with murderous aura, Gao Jin also stood up and asked.

"We have not been in the valley during the day for a long time. Those horse thieves will definitely go and find out, and we are only seven or eight miles away from the valley now..."

Before Gao Chong could finish his words, Gao Jin understood that no wonder he commanded the caravan's mate to pick up coal and load the truck during the day. His father slowed down the speed of his progress, and deliberately led the group of horse thieves to station in the valley.

"If they don't camp there, they'll forget it. Since they camp there, they'll keep their lives." Gao Chong never cared about the combat power of those horse thieves. A group of mobs who couldn't even get enough martial arts were facing each other. He and his brothers faced the rushing head-on, and they could kill them in one round, but the most fearful thing was that these horse thieves were about to collapse and could not be wiped out at all.
