The whole mountain is my hunting ground

The word " Zhao " has three meanings.

One is a numeral; the second is a sign that appears before something happens, that is, an omen.

The third one has the meaning of foreshadowing, such as auspicious snow for a good harvest.

The word " Zhao " used by mountain runners means foreshadowing.

The word "十" used by mountain runners most often refers to the pine tree omen of the ginseng planter, commonly known as the old omen. The old omen means the old ditch, which indicates that there is a club here.

According to the rules, the pine tree omen should face the old ditch. But there are some who don't follow the rules, such as the group of blind Pang, who hung the reverse omen, that is, they left the omen with their backs to the old ditch, so that only their descendants can find it.

Xing San said that the treasure cellar of widow Wang faced the omen, and Zhao Jun looked at Xing San in surprise, waiting for Xing San's next words.

This old man was a loner, and he took a bath in a corner of the pool. There was no one on his right, and Zhao Jun was on his left.

At this time, Xing San whispered in Zhao Jun's ear: "The omen he had was just a mansion with three diagonal cuts inside."

The mansion was a small house cut on a tree trunk with a knife and an axe. This small house was very simple, and every child in the family could draw it when they were young. It had a triangle on the top and a square on the bottom.

Anyone who made a living in the mountains, whether they were hunting gangs, ginseng gangs, or people who picked pine nuts or burned charcoal, had to cut a mansion to worship the mountain god when they entered the mountains.

Since they all worshipped the mountain god, they must respect the mountain god. Normally, the mansion had to be wrapped with red cloth.

But no matter what, the mountain runners did not destroy the mansion, nor did they cut a road on the mansion.

But according to Xing San, there was an omen opposite to the treasure cellar of Widow Wang, and that omen was a mansion that was destroyed by someone.

When Zhao Jun heard what Xing San said, he almost stood up from the pool!

He had seen this mansion!

In the early autumn of this year, when Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai went up the mountain to carry ginseng, Zhao Youcai buried a small mountain ginseng, but told Zhao Jun that he had buried the ginseng in the mountain.

That kind of small ginseng will not be enough to sell if it is not buried for another 20 or 30 years. But 20 or 30 years later, let alone whether Zhao Youcai is still there. Even if he is, Zhao Youcai will be at least over 60 years old at that time. Will he still be able to go up the mountain?

So, at that time, Zhao Jun had to let Zhao Youcai take him to the place where he buried the ginseng.

Or so it is said, old people are smart, old horses are slippery, and old rabbits are hard to catch.

Zhao Youcai had prepared in advance, leaving traces of digging in one place, and lied to Zhao Jun that the small ginseng was buried there.

Zhao Jun did not doubt Zhao Youcai, but he looked around and wanted to find obvious landmarks around.

When choosing landmarks in the mountains, trees cannot be chosen. These years, the management is not strict, and no one cares if the forestry workers cut down a few trees. What if someone cuts down a tree, wouldn’t it be a blind spot?

But when Zhao Jun was looking for the landmark, he saw a tree at the southeast corner, and the master's mansion was cut out of the tree. And in the master's mansion, there were three marks made by knives and axes.

At that time, Zhao Jun was still wondering who did this. Now listening to Xing Sanyi, Zhao Jun widened his eyes excitedly.

"Huh?" Xing San looked at Zhao Jun's big eyes and couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhao Jun pursed his lips and suppressed the excitement in his heart. From when he learned about the existence of this batch of treasures from Wang Meilan, to when he associated the prosperity of the Pang family from Jiang Hua's notes, to when he met Shao Yunjin in Lingnan, to when he learned about the existence of knife sellers on credit, and then to when he knew about the treasure cellar...

Step by step, the dawn... no, the golden light is ahead!

It was already seven o'clock when the group came out of the bathhouse, and it took five minutes to get home by car.

After arriving home, Zhao Youcai, as the host, greeted Xing San and walked into the house.

As soon as Xing San entered the Zhao family's door, the women who heard the dog barking went out to the outer room, wanting to see the experienced old mountain dog.

"This is my wife, this is Dayong's wife, this is Qiangzi's wife." Zhao Youcai introduced Xing San one by one. When he introduced Xie Sun, Zhao Youcai said, "This is the mother of Xie Zhong and Xie Chen."

"Ah!" Xing San nodded to Xie Sun, and he greeted the other women in the same way. After all, there are differences between men and women, and it is not fashionable to pull and tug these days.

"Old brother Xing San!" Xie Sun stepped forward and said to Xing San with a smile: "I have seen you."

"Huh?" Xing San was stunned. Looking at the little old lady with a bright smile in front of him, Xing San was a little dazed, thinking that he had seen this person in his early years, otherwise why would she be so enthusiastic.

Liu Lanying tried to pull Li Sun from the side, but failed. Li Sun asked Xing San with great interest: "Old Xing San, where is your knife? Can you show it to me?"

Xing San subconsciously touched his waist, but found nothing. Xing San suddenly remembered that he had given the knife to Zhao Jun before taking a bath, so he turned his head and looked back.

"Oh my god, don't look." At this time, Jie Zhong opened his mouth to stop Li Sun. If it were in the past, Jie Sun would have a big fight with him. But now Jie Sun's temper has changed a lot. He just gave Li Zhong a blank look and stepped aside.

"Three brothers." After Jie Sun retreated, the old lady called Xing San and asked, "Do you recognize me?"

Xing San frowned and squinted at the old lady, so that he could see more clearly.

After looking at him for a while, Xing San shook his head and said, "I don't know him."

"Jiang Hua, do you know him?" The old lady told her old man's name, and Xing San's brows relaxed, saying, "Oh, I know him."

"He is my old man." The old lady said so, and Xing San nodded slightly and said "ah".

Regardless of whether Xing San could remember or not, Zhao Youcai introduced all the women in the family to Xing San.

Then, Zhao Youcai invited Xing San to take the table.

At this time, the food was ready, including single pancakes and fried pancakes, and the dishes included shredded potatoes, roe deer meat with sauerkraut, shredded beans with pork, and smoked wild boar meat.

This meal was paired with Xifeng wine and Shilin cigarettes, and even the old man with a heart as hard as iron was lost in it.

They came back late, and it was almost ten o'clock after eating and drinking. The diners left, Zhao Weipeng and Zhao Youcai went to the toilet, and Zhao Jun went to the kang to make a quilt for Xing San.

When the old man saw that there was no one in the house, he pulled Zhao Jun over and said, "Boy, go up the mountain one day and call your father and uncle, and we will go find those things in your house."

"No need, Third Uncle." Xing San was very kind to Zhao Jun, and Zhao Jun did not hide it from him. He said directly to Xing San, "I have seen the old mansion before."

"Huh?" Xing San was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Where is it?"

"It's behind the slope opposite the door frame of Widow Wang." Zhao Jun said, "There is water there, and you can see it if you walk down."

"Really?" Xing San was happy for Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun nodded and said, "Third Uncle, I will call you when I go there one day."

This old man is not only reliable, but also has high martial arts value. Zhao Jun is very relieved to take him with him.

"Hey?" Xing San suddenly remembered something and asked Zhao Jun: "After you dig that thing out, if you want to exchange it for money, you should walk away."

"Uncle San, I know that." Zhao Jun whispered in Xing San's ear: "Let's go to Lingnan when the time comes."

"Going to Lingnan is not possible." Xing San shook his head, pointed to the east, and said: "It's best to go over the mountains and sea forests to Mudanjiang."

"Hey?" Zhao Jun suddenly remembered something and asked Xing San: "Uncle San, I just remembered that the old mountain technician, how did he know what the omen looked like?"

"He..." Xing San was about to speak when the door was opened from the outside.

Brothers, I owe another 2,000 words today. I will make up a chapter of 4,000 tomorrow night.
