Chapter 1402: A sudden change on the way
The door opened, and Yang Yufeng, who had just sent Zhao Jun back, entered the room, turned around, closed the door, and rubbed her hands, saying, "It's quite cold today."
After Yang Yufeng finished speaking, the people in the room did not respond. Yang Yufeng did not care, but walked to the door of the east room and asked, "Is it okay to have some soup and some hot noodles for lunch?"
Zhang Yuanmin sat on the kang, staring blankly out the window, as if he didn't hear Yang Yufeng's words.
Seeing him like this, Yang Yufeng walked into the room and asked Zhang Yuanmin, "Our brothers have all left, why are you still peeking at them?"
"Alas!" Zhang Yuanmin sighed and said, "The journey is long and full of difficulties and dangers. I hope my brother will return soon."
"What do you mean by early or late?" Yang Yufeng pulled the small broom from the kang and said as she swept it, "If you go all the way here, you must sell everything before you come back."
Hearing Yang Yufeng say this, Zhang Yuanmin rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "What do you know? You don't even understand what I'm saying. Stop interrupting me."
"Do you understand?" Yang Yufeng said, "You understand, you were almost kicked by Hei Xia Zi. If you don't want to show off, can you go with your brothers?"
At this point, Yang Yufeng raised her hand and pointed the broom outside, saying, "Yesterday, my uncle's house was robbed, and all the men in the village went out, except you who were lying at home."
"I want to go out, but you don't want me to go?" Zhang Yuanmin said. Yang Yufeng said, "Well, well, if you go, can you chase them away? Can you fight them? If you go, it's better for me to go."
"Fuck you..." Zhang Yuanmin was about to swear, but when he saw Yang Yufeng clenching the broom, he quickly shut his mouth.
……
The Jiefang truck came out from Tunnan, and the three brothers in the car seemed a little excited.
But at this moment, a horse-drawn sleigh came towards them, and Li Baoyu quickly stopped the car.
"Whoa..." Liu Hanshan, who was driving the sled, reined in his horse, and Xing San and Jie Zhong on the sled stood up one after another.
Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, and Xie Chen also got off the car. The six of them gathered together. Xie Chen spoke first and asked Xie Zhong, "Brother, what are you doing down the mountain?"
"You are leaving to get home, aren't you?" Xie Zhong said, unbuttoning his cotton jacket, taking out a thick newspaper package from his inner pocket, and handing it to Xie Chen, saying, "This is the money our village relatives have received in the past two months. You can take it back."
"Ah..." Xie Chen was slightly startled, and then he saw Jie Zhong pointing at the newspaper package and said, "There's a note inside, which clearly states who will get how much money."
While the Xie brothers were talking, Xing San pulled Zhao Jun aside and asked, "Boy, I went to our big hideout these past two days and saw a lot of new footprints. I wanted to ask you, can I set a few more traps?"
"Okay, Third Master." Zhao Jun said, "Three or five more will do."
"That's fine." Xing San said with a smile, "Then I'll go back today and catch mice in the field."
"Uncle, why don't you stay at home for a few days before leaving?" Zhao Jun said. Xing San was startled and asked, "What for?"
"You go up the mountain with my uncle." Zhao Jun said, "Look for those things in my grandmother's house."
"Can't we just not talk about it now?" Xing San said in surprise, "Your father said last time that the two strips in the east and northeast of that place were being cut down."
The large forestry group planned by the forest farm is enough for a farm to work for two years. Just like the 77th farm where Zhao Jun once worked, he worked in that forestry group last year and he is still working in that forestry group this year.
The location where Wangjiajin Watermelon and Golden Grape may be hidden belongs to part of Forest Block 56. This part was cut down last year, and this year, that part was not touched, but the surrounding areas are being cut down.
So it is not very convenient to go up the mountain to dig holes and start construction at this time.
"That's not it, Third Uncle." Zhao Jun told Xing San what happened last night. Xing San narrowed his eyes and said, "Damn it, which rascal is so bold?"
"Uncle, we have found everything." Zhao Jun quickly comforted Xing San, and then said, "I thought about asking him to take us up the mountain today. We are not at home, and my uncle is going alone. I am still worried. If you don't come down, my uncle will have to go up the mountain to look for you."
"Boy, I understand." Xing San waved his hand at Zhao Jun and said, "Just go. You don't have to worry about this place at home."
"That's great." Zhao Jun smiled, held Xing San's arm, and said, "When we get home, let my mom cook dumplings for you. I made them this morning with roe deer and green onion stuffing."
Freshly made dumplings are always better than frozen ones.
Xing San pursed his lips when he heard this, then looked at Zhao Jun and said, "Then be careful when you go out."
"Hey!" Zhao Jun responded, said hello to Xie Zhong and Liu Hanshan, then got into the car with Li Baoyu and Xie Chen and left.
Xie Zhong and Xing San both had things to do when they came down the mountain today, and Liu Hanshan had run out of dry food that he brought up the mountain, so he went home to get the sticky rice dumplings that his wife had made, and brought the two of them down with him.
After entering the village, Liu Hanshan could not go home first. He was first sent to Jiang's house by Jie Zhong, and then to Zhao's house by Xing San.
As soon as we turned from the sled, the Zhao family's dog started barking.
Hearing the dog barking, Zhao Youcai, who was dozing on the kang, turned over and got up.
"What kind of person is this?" Zhao Youcai complained, "You come to someone's house so early in the morning. You've never seen money before, have you?"
He thought he was here to sell goods.
"Hey, stop wasting time." Wang Meilan, who was washing dishes in the outer room, said, "Go out and greet them quickly. My hands are busy and I can't go out."
Zhao Youcai put on his cotton-padded jacket while grumbling, and when he walked out to the ground, he complained to Wang Meilan, "Look at your brother, he just came here for a turn and then tripped over the pole. Do you think he can hold me up for a while?"
"What's he doing to you?" Wang Meilan frowned and said, "He didn't sleep well after all the trouble in the second half of the night. Let him go home and take a nap, because he still has to go up the mountain after that."
Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes at Wang Meilan when he heard this. When he walked to the door, the barking of the dog outside the house became weaker.
Zhao Youcai looked out through the window and suddenly cried out "Ah!", which startled Wang Meilan.
Zhao Youcai didn't even button up his cotton jacket, pushed open the door, and ran out of the house with a big smile on his face: "Hey, brother!"
Xing San walked into the yard and was bending over to stroke the black tiger. The dogs on both sides of the yard were wagging their tails at him.
The dogs of the Zhao family's dog gang were no strangers to Xing San, so when Liu Hanshan left, the dogs stopped biting as much.
"Second brother!" Xing San got along well with Zhao Youcai. When he saw Zhao Youcai, he asked, "Why aren't you at work?"
"Oh my!" Zhao Youcai sighed and said, "My family is busy with this business, so what can we do? I just came back."
As he said that, Zhao Youcai invited Xing San into the house.
When the two men arrived at the door and opened it to go in, Heihu also wanted to squeeze in, but was kicked by Zhao Youcai.
"Hey, brother!" Seeing Xing San, Wang Meilan asked in surprise, "What news have you heard?"
"No." Xing San smiled and said, "Today, the young master Jie and Liu Hanshan are going down the mountain. I will follow them and ask the young master about the matter of the big skin."
"Brother, he just left." Wang Meilan said so, Xing San smiled and said: "Yeah, I ran into him outside the village."
"Oh, OK, then..." Wang Meilan was about to ask Xing San and Wang Qiang to go up the mountain together to find the origin of the bronze knife, but she suddenly remembered something and asked Xing San, "Brother, you haven't eaten yet? Come into the house and warm up on the kang for a while, and I'll cook dumplings for you."
"I'm done, I'm done." Xing San waved his hands repeatedly, but was stopped by Zhao Youcai. Then Zhao Youcai said to Wang Meilan, "Cook it. Cook two plates."
After saying that, Zhao Youcai dragged Xing San into the house.
As soon as he entered the room and sat on the kang, Zhao Youcai took out a cigarette from Shilin and lit it for Xing San.
Xing San smoked a cigarette, looked at Zhao Youcai, and asked, "Second brother, why do you look so tired?"
Zhao Youcai also didn't sleep well in the second half of the night, but he sighed and said, "Brother, this day is tiring. I've been busy from morning to night."
"Ah?" Xing San was startled, then smiled and said, "Isn't it good to be busy? If you are busy, then you can make money."
As he spoke, Xing San raised his hand and pointed outside the house, saying, "Your father-in-law used to be busy all his life."
"Haha..." Zhao Youcai did not respond to Xing San's words, but smiled and said, "Now that you are here, I think I can rest for two days."
"But there's nothing else!" Xing San heard this and waved his hand, saying, "Just go do your thing. I don't need you to accompany me."
Xing San thought that Zhao Youcai said that because he wanted to give up his business and accompany him.
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Youcai said with a smile, "I'll take a break for two days and go for a walk in the mountains."
"Huh?" Xing San was stunned, thinking, I stroll in the mountains every day, do I need you to accompany me?
But at this moment, Xing San's eyes were attracted by the copper knife on the kang. He took the knife in his hand and said to Zhao Youcai, "I have seen this knife before."
"My father-in-law's family?" Zhao Youcai asked. Xing San nodded and said, "I ran into the kid when I came here just now, and he told me everything."
At this time, Wang Meilan, who had gone out to get dumplings, came back. After hearing what Xing San said, she walked into the house and said to Xing San, "Brother, you should have a good rest at home today. I will have to ask you and Qiangzi to go up the mountain tomorrow."
"No need for tomorrow." Xing San put the copper knife aside and said, "Let's go today."
After saying that, Xing San turned back and said, "Just the place where we dug out the treasure cellar last time, that piece of land has not been cut down."
For Wang Meilan, the sooner the treasure hunt is done, the better. But at this moment, she expressed her concerns, saying, "We haven't cut down trees yet, but it will be hard to find them once the snow covers the trees, right?"
Xing San was silent for about three seconds, then he blinked twice quickly, as if he was thinking about something.
"Brother, come here." Zhao Youcai handed the teacup to Xing San and said, "Freshly brewed tea."
"Ah..." Xing San put down the teacup with his hand and said, "Second brother, stop working."
Then, Xing San said to Wang Meilan: "Sister-in-law, I don't feel right."
"What's the matter?" Wang Meilan became nervous instantly. Seeing Xing San frowning, Wang Meilan's heart was gripped with grief.
At this time, Xing San picked up the copper knife again and said, "If your father buried something, just like we did that time... how can it come out?"
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan were both stunned. Xing San was right. This thing was buried tightly, how could it get out and be picked up by Chen Jinmin?
"Brother." Wang Meilan asked Xing San nervously, "Can I let others mess around with these things in my house?"
Seeing Wang Meilan's nervous look, Xing San shook his head slightly and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Let's go up the mountain and see what's going on."
Xing San paused for a moment, then said, "From what the boy told me, the place where the hooligan picked up the knife is at the bottom of the slope where we dug out the treasure cellar.
I was thinking, maybe your father buried something in the ditch, and when the water level rose in the summer, it washed out.”
"Then it's gone too." Wang Meilan was still worried after hearing what Xing San said. If it's gone, wouldn't it be the same as if someone took it away?
"Lan." At this time, Zhao Youcai called Wang Meilan and said, "You go and cook the dumplings. When my brother has finished eating, we will leave. After that, let Qiangzi stay at home and watch over him today."
Zhao Youcai suddenly came up with a trick to fish in troubled waters, and Wang Meilan immediately responded: "Well, okay. Then you go, I'll let Qiangzi stay at home."
The couple had been married for more than 20 years, and Zhao Youcai had his unreliable moments, but Wang Meilan had never doubted Zhao Youcai's ability to get things done.
Now that they were in trouble and Zhao Jun was not at home, Wang Meilan chose Zhao Youcai between him and Wang Qiang.
Zhao Youcai was secretly happy in his heart. All things are difficult at the beginning. Everything has a first time, and there will be countless times afterwards.
But at this moment, Zhao Youcai never expected that Xing San would stop him.
"Brother, the family is so busy, you don't have to go." Xing San said to Zhao Youcai, "The boy's uncle and I, the two of us can go."
"No, brother..." Zhao Youcai became anxious when he heard it. He raised his hand to stop him, but Xing San said, "The kid said that he asked his uncle to take me up the mountain on a motorcycle."
The motorcycle was just left at home, and Zhao Jun asked Jie Chen, Wang Qiang and others to learn how to ride it. After they learned how to ride it, it would be convenient to go anywhere on a motorcycle.
This time it was really convenient.
"Well..." Zhao Youcai wanted to save the situation, but he heard Xing San say, "Aren't we taking that scoundrel there today? Let's go there, take a look and come back. Once we know where it is, we can go there tomorrow."
"Okay, brother." Wang Meilan agreed with Xing San before Zhao Youcai did, and said, "Then sit down and I'll cook dumplings for you."
Seeing that the two of them had settled the matter, Zhao Youcai regretted it so much. If he had known this would happen, he would not have said those polite words.
When Zhao Youcai regretted his decision, the Liberation vehicle that Zhao Jun and his three companions were riding in had already entered the war preparation road.
There was a burglar in the second half of the night, so everyone slept two or three hours less than usual.
Don't underestimate these two or three hours. If you miss these two or three hours, you will feel tired.
Afraid that Li Baoyu would fall asleep while driving, Zhao Jun and Jie Chen tried to find topics to talk about.
"Can we get to my house at any time?" Zhao Jun asked casually, and Xie Chen replied, "Yes, we can do it easily."
"Shut up!" Zhao Jun stopped Jie Chen and said, "Don't say these four words anymore in the future."
As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, the little black bear and the little bear in the iron cage under the large tarpaulin in the trunk all screamed.
At the same time, a group of wild boars came down from the South Mountain like scattered flowers and crossed the war preparation road like crazy.
This chapter makes up for yesterday's. Today's chapter will be a little late. I will post it at around 1 o'clock. Brothers, if you are sleepy, go to bed first and read it tomorrow morning.
I got up early today and took a taxi to the hospital at around 4:00 to check for kidney stones and have another scan to prevent future trouble.
Then, I went to the dumpling restaurant and bought a bunch of frozen dumplings. Starting tomorrow, I plan to stay at home during the winter and write with peace of mind.
