The whole mountain is my hunting ground

This is Xing Sanzai, otherwise it would be easy for Wang Meilan to beat Zhao Youcai.

"What did our dad tell you before?" Wang Meilan gritted her teeth and asked the same two questions as before, "What did our dad tell you?"

"Our dad..." Zhao Youcai clicked his little eyes and said, "You told me the day we left."

"That's not right, brother-in-law." After Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Wang Qiang raised questions and said, "That's what we asked you that time. When we asked our father what he didn't say to you before he left, you just said no."

The "that time" Wang Qiang mentioned was after Zhao Youcai returned from Hansongbaozi and provided information about Golden Grapes. Wang Meilan asked Zhao Youcai if Mr. Wang had left any other information when he left.

At that time, Zhao Youcai swore he didn't have it, but today he has it again...

"It's been so many years." Faced with Wang Qiang's doubts, Zhao Youcai still spoke plausibly and said, "It's only after I said this that I remembered..."

Zhao Youcai, who defended himself, was glared at by Wang Meilan and then fell silent.

Stopping Zhao Youcai's nonsense with her eyes, Wang Meilan immediately asked him, "Just tell me, what did our dad tell you?"

"Our dad..." Zhao Youcai blinked his beady eyes twice more, frowned and recalled, "I kept saying that those Gaotashan grapes are delicious, and then I'll serve that piece..."

Zhao Youcai was stunned mid-sentence, and then said "Oh" under the gazes of Wang Meilan, Wang Qiang and Xing San.

Looking at Zhao Youcai's appearance, he was obviously thinking of something.

"What are you doing?" Wang Meilan asked. Zhao Youcai crossed his legs and turned to Wang Meilan. He raised his left hand and pointed his index finger at the tent, saying, "I remembered, Lan."

"Ah?" Wang Meilan urged, "Now that you remember it, tell me."

Under the gaze of the three people, Zhao Youcai said: "Our dad told me that he marked the stretch of the mountain grapes that time, as well as the opposite slope and the back slope.

Let me wait until the time becomes more peaceful and dig back all the trees that were marked. My dad said they are all money trees. "

"Pah!" After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan slapped her thigh, looked at Zhao Youcai and asked, "Dad, why didn't you say this earlier?"

"Um..." Zhao Youcai said weakly: "How could I expect him to bury something under that tree? The old man said it was a money tree or something, and I also thought about his feudal superstition. I also told him, dad, please stop talking. , it’s a big deal for people to listen to it!”

After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan and Wang Qiang both turned away in anger. Xing San was not angry, but he lowered his head.

Wang Meilan quickly turned back. She seemed to want to say something, but took a deep breath and held back the words that came to her lips.

But then, Wang Meilan asked Zhao Youcai again: "If you think about it again, what else did our father leave for you?"

"It's nothing." Zhao Youcai was a little confused, but quickly said firmly: "It's really nothing."

Wang Meilan twitched the corner of her mouth. Zhao Youcai had this expression last time and said the same thing.

"Um..." At this time, Xing San took the initiative to act as a peacemaker. He said to Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan: "Second brothers, younger siblings, and Qiangzi, we now know the place, let's pay close attention to the things in these places. come out."

"Brother," Wang Qiang said, "It's not easy to work here, and we can't burn pits there."

It is now the end of January, just before the twelfth lunar month, and it is already freezing. Five meters underground were frozen, making it difficult to dig with a shovel or pickaxe.

If you want to break ground at this time, you have to burn the pit. Burning a pit doesn't just require lighting a fire, it will take a long time.

When the fire burns and smokes, and it burns for two or three hours, it will either attract forest rangers or nearby forest guards.

It's been a dry winter, so everyone has to come and see if it's causing wildfires.

When it comes to recruiting people, it’s hard to explain to them.

Because pits are burned in winter, one is for burial, and the other is for road maintenance.

That area is not close to the village, so the burial does not have to be that far away, otherwise it will be difficult to visit the grave in the future.

As for road maintenance, it is necessary to burn kangs near the roadside.

This is why Zhao Jun was not in a hurry to find Golden Grapes.

"Well." Xing San took Zhao Youcai's cigarette and fire, lit the Shilin cigarette and took a puff, then said: "Last time I talked about the golden grapes and golden watermelon, so don't think about it. You old man must go to bury those If it's buried deep, the thing itself has to sink (chèn), and you can't dig it at this time."

"Brother, let's look for these things first." When Wang Meilan spoke, she pointed at Mrs. Tang.

"That's right!"

"Maybe my father-in-law didn't take this as a good thing." Zhao Youcai said a joke, but Wang Meilan pricked him with his eyes.

Wang Meilan felt a hatred in her heart. It has been twenty years since the old man left. You should have told everyone his last words. Have you already gotten out of bed? Then let people pick it up?

These bronze wares are not as valuable as gold. They are better than these. If anyone likes them, Wang Meilan can even give them to them. But if it was lost like that, Wang Meilan didn't agree.

"Brother." At this time, Wang Qiang said to Xing San: "Then let's go for a walk up the mountain tomorrow morning?"

"Let's take a walk." Xing San said, "Let's go over and take a look and see what's going on."

Zhao Youcai also wanted to take a walk, but he knew there was no one to support him and he couldn't leave.

To be honest, Zhao Youcai felt uncomfortable staying at home for these two days.

In the past, he would rest at home for one day a week when he went to work. That day, he was resting even if he didn't go up the mountain.

Unlike this, people came and went every day, and Zhao Youcai, who didn't like to talk much, felt extremely uncomfortable.

But Zhao Youcai didn't regret it at this time. He thought that after this period of busyness, he would have the opportunity to go up the mountain to hunt.

After discussing the treasure hunt in the mountains tomorrow, Wang Qiang finished smoking this cigarette and got up to go home.

"Brother!" Wang Meilan put the thermos on the table at the head of the kang and said to Xing San: "Warm your feet and relieve your fatigue."

Xing San responded, and then saw Wang Meilan directing Zhao Youcai, saying: "Take down the bedding roll."

Zhao Youcai got up and took a set of rolled bedding from the kang cabinet.

When Zhao Youcai put the bedding on the kang, Wang Meilan reached out and pulled it over.

Seeing the quilt roll moving, the little lynx jumped and chased after it. When the quilt roll stopped, the little lynx pounced on it directly.

"Get down!" Wang Meilan pulled it open, then opened the quilt roll and said to Xing San: "Brother, this is the quilt that Xiaomei, Qiangzi's wife and I made for you after you left this morning. This set is yours from now on, and you can cover yourself with it when you get home."

As she spoke, Wang Meilan grasped a corner of the quilt with one hand and said: "The cotton is all new, so warm."

Wang Meilan's words touched Xing San deeply. The old man subconsciously raised his hand and touched the quilt gently, then looked up at Wang Meilan and said: "You still make a quilt for me? This is too troublesome."

"What's the trouble?" Wang Meilan smiled and said: "After the New Year's Eve, when the group of people in Lengchang withdraw, Xiaojun will go up the mountain to pick you up, and then you can spend the New Year with us at home."

"That won't work." Xing San heard this and waved his hands repeatedly, saying: "That won't work."

The old man was a little embarrassed and felt that he was causing trouble for the Zhao family.

"Why not?" Wang Meilan said, "The place is so empty, how can you stay there?"

"That's right, brother." Zhao Youcai echoed and persuaded Xing San, saying, "Come back home, there is everything to eat and drink at home. After that, we can have a drink and play cards. It's a lot of fun."

"Brother." Zhao Youcai finished speaking, and Wang Meilan persuaded him again, saying, "Go down the mountain and stay at home for a while, and then we'll see after the New Year. If there is an empty house in this village, we can build one, it doesn't cost much. After that, you don't have to live in the mountain anymore. You are getting older every year, and it's so cold to live in that shack."

"Then...then okay. Second brother, sister-in-law, I will cause you a lot of trouble in the future." Xing San, who has become more and more stubborn since the death of his wife and children, was actually persuaded by Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan. He has always been stubborn and sad with others, but he can still say polite words when he comes to the Zhao family.

The reason is that the Zhao family treats him sincerely, and the life in the Zhao family is too good.

If Xing San goes down the mountain and lives in Chen Jinmin's house, he will leave after two days without any regrets.

"What's the trouble, brother?" Wang Meilan smiled, and then asked Zhao Youcai, "Hey, his father? Han Chunsheng from your second canteen, is his father-in-law going to leave with his son after the New Year?"

"It seems so." Zhao Youcai said, "I'll ask him tomorrow. If he says he's leaving, I'll talk to him and reserve his house."

"Give him two deposits." Wang Meilan said, "To save him from changing his mind and selling it to someone else."

"Okay!" Zhao Youcai responded, and then said to Xing San, "Brother, the two rooms in his house were cleaned up the year before last, and the small house is very neat. What's the key? He is only two steps away from our new house, and it takes less than two minutes to get there."

No matter what Zhao Youcai was thinking, his words at this time made Xing San feel sincere.

At this time, the old man also lost his temper. Xing San said, "I told the kid today that I will get a few more big leather cases when I return to the market. After that, I will go to a few more shacks and ask those old men to sell their leathers to us."

As soon as Xing San said this, Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan stopped him in unison, saying, "Brother, please stop it."

"Huh?" Xing San was startled and said, "What's the matter?"

The couple looked at each other and couldn't tell Xing San that my son didn't allow you to solicit business. Whoever you solicit business for will end up with a broken family at best.

"Well... that..." Wang Meilan organized her words in her mind, and then said to Xing San: "Brother, this is what happened. We have almost used up all the money we have, and we can still maintain it normally in the next few days. But if you go out to find someone else, they will bring things to our house to sell, and if we don't handle it well, we will have no money to give them."

"Ah..." Xing San frowned when he heard it, and said: "Before dinner tonight, the gossipy kid in Dayong's family said that we were starving."

When he said this, Xing San looked up at the sack on the kang cabinet and said: "Why don't I let the boy sell it to the ginseng to pay off the starvation."

The idea of ​​the older generation is that you can't live like a starvation.

"That won't do." Wang Meilan refused immediately, saying, "You can't sell it!"

"Why can't you sell it?" Xing San said, "I gave it to the boy anyway, and the money from selling it will be for him."

As he said that, Xing San raised his hand and pointed upward, saying, "Two years ago, I went to set up a trap and ran into Blind Pang and his gang. I talked to him and this thing... Don't underestimate it because it's not big. It will definitely be no problem to sell it for 50,000, 70,000 or 80,000 yuan."

"Yes, brother." Wang Meilan nodded and said, "My son knows this. He said this is the golden ginseng and it will be worth a lot of money."

"Then sell it." Xing San said, "Sell it and fight against famine."

"No, no." Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Brother, our skins, bear gallbladders and so on, can make a lot of money when we sell them in Hebei. This ginseng, the child said it is a treasure and can't be sold."

As she said, Wang Meilan pointed to the box next to the sack and said to Xing San, "Brother, there is a golden bear gallbladder and a musk in the box, which we keep for ourselves."

"Okay, sister-in-law, I don't care if you say so." Xing San said, "The ginseng, you can do whatever you want with it."

...

Just when the three were talking about the treasures at home, Zhao Jun was sitting in the co-pilot of the Jiefang car.

At this time, it was Jie Chen who was driving, and Li Baoyu and Zhao Jun squeezed together.

It was seven or eight hundred miles to Fengtian, and the three had to take turns driving. But Li Baoyu and Jie Chen asked Zhao Jun to rest, and they took shifts.

The little black bear is now squeezing in the passenger seat with Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu. When I left home today, I brought several dozen kilograms of large pancakes in the car.

When I was at Xie Chen's house, Zhao Jun took a small basin of hot water to soak the pancakes and fed them to the two bears.

The little brown bear has been used to being fed by humans for a few days. When it sees food, it doesn't care about this or that. It eats a whole basin.

On the contrary, the little black bear has never been in a cage since it grew up. Now it has become accustomed to being tortured by people every day. It was suddenly locked in a cage and thrown in the trunk. It didn't adapt at all. It was stressed all of a sudden and didn't eat or drink.

Especially when the tarpaulin was covered on the cage, it howled. It cried all day since it left home.

When they were about to leave in the evening, Zhao Jun found that the little black bear was still crying even though his voice was hoarse.

Zhao Jun had raised it for so long and hugged it to sleep every day, and he had already developed feelings for it.

So, he took the little black bear out, brought it to the co-pilot seat, and tore a pancake to feed it to the little black bear.

The little black bear didn't eat it at first, but after lying in Zhao Jun's arms for a while, he picked up the pancake and ate it non-stop.

"Brother." Li Baoyu touched the little black bear's ear and said to Zhao Jun: "Why don't you leave it to Xiao Hei? Look how pitiful it is."

"Yeah." Xie Chen, who was driving, echoed: "Poor ignorant."

Hearing what the two brothers said, Zhao Jun blinked and said: "Let's go there and see if it works."

After saying this, Zhao Jun paused for a moment before continuing: "In the future, bring fewer living things home. You will have feelings for anything after being with it for a long time."

"That's not necessarily true." As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, Li Baoyu smiled and said: "We raise chickens and ducks for one spring and eight summers, so don't we kill them for meat?"

"And the sheep and roe deer." Xie Chen added: "My Aunt Zhao can kill them with one hammer."

Zhao Jun: "..."

I will get up tomorrow morning to add more chapters. The leader of that brother will add 5 chapters, not one day. Why do everyone say that they can finish it in one day...
