After getting the "passport" from the Jiesun family, Wang Meilan went out to welcome him personally.
After the Song family father and son entered the Zhao family, they couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw the dozen or so people in the Zhao family, men, women, old and young.
These days, not only small shops, tofu shops, and large pancake shops gather together, but some people also set up card games, and there are many people in such houses.
But Song Xiangchen had never seen such a family of men, women, and children in his old age.
After sitting down in the west room of Zhao's house, Song Changqing presented a gift. After Wang Meilan said a few polite words, she asked Xu Chunyan to accept the gift. At the same time, Zhao Ling made tea for the father and son.
When Song Xiangchen finished explaining his intention, Wang Meilan looked troubled and said, "Brother, you didn't even mention making a phone call before you came. Your child has gone out of town. Aren't you going all the way in vain?"
Wang Meilan lied, but she just didn't want Zhao Jun to go. Wang Meilan's idea was very simple. Although her son was powerful, he was not a heavenly soldier or general. Huang Gui was broken, which shows that those big claws are not easy to deal with.
Another thing is that Wang Meilan feels that there is no need for her son to have his big paws pierced. Not to mention that the family is not short of money, but if it is, how much can he earn from having his big paws pierced?
Tigers are not like other mountain animals. When other mountain animals die, the skin, meat, and bones all belong to the hunter. This is not the case with tigers. After hunting, even the hair goes to the owner.
Yes, can the team give bonuses? But how much bonuses are there?
One thousand? Two thousand?
Impossible, I can’t give you this!
That being the case, wouldn't it be better to kill a blind bear at home than to kill a bear? With a dog to protect it, wouldn't it be better to kill a blind bear than a tiger?
Therefore, Wang Meilan could only say sorry to these two people in her heart.
"Ah? This..." When Song Xiangchen heard that Zhao Jun was not at home, his first reaction was to look at Li Baoyu and Lin Xiangshun.
Jie Chen had not returned from seeing Liu Lanying off, and there were only two young men at home. When Song Xiangchen entered the house, he thought one of them was Zhao Jun.
"Brother, they are not." Wang Meilan introduced Song Xiangchen with a smile and said: "This tall guy is Baoyu, and this one is Shunzi. My brother Huang Gui knows them all. You will know when you go back and tell him."
Wang Meilan means I'm not lying to you. When Song Xiangchen heard what Wang Meilan said, he couldn't help but smack his lips. Then he sighed and asked: "Sister, where did the child go? How long ago can he come back?"
"He went to Balipu and Yiqigangzi." As soon as Wang Meilan said this, Song Xiangchen was startled, and then asked: "Isn't that Jiaohe?"
Jiaohe River is also in the south of Lingnan, but it is not in the same direction as Hansongbaozi.
"Yeah." Wang Meilan nodded and said, "Yes, there is a long ditch or something. He went there to help others prepare specimens."
"Then when will he come back?" Song Xiangchen asked again. Wang Meilan shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know. This child goes out often and comes back after the beating."
"Oh!" Song Xiangchen sighed again. When he looked at Song Changqing, he found that his son was also looking at him.
"Well... that's okay, sister." Song Xiangchen turned around and said to Wang Meilan: "Since the child has not been left home, we, the father and the mother, will leave!"
"No!" Wang Meilan heard this and hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her: "Brother, we are all home, you have to eat!"
As she said that, Wang Meilan waved her outstretched hand to the side and called out: "Xiaomei, you go home and get two sauerkraut. After Ling'er and Chunyan are done, you two quickly get a piece of meat and put it on while we weigh a few vegetables.
"
"No, sister! Don't bother me!" Song Xiangchen stood up and stopped Wang Meilan and said, "We are leaving in a hurry!"
"Then there's still so much time left?" Wang Meilan said, "You have to eat before you leave!"
While Wang Meilan was talking, Li Dayong came over to support Song Xiangchen and advised him at the same time: "Brother, finish your meal before leaving."
"No, brother." Song Xiangchen said to Li Dayong: "We have to go back quickly. We took someone's car before we came here, and they will be back at noon tomorrow."
When they came, Huang Gui said he would take a ride to Yong'an and don't worry about it when he comes back. When Zhao Jun came, Zhao Jun made arrangements.
But if Zhao Jun doesn't come, it will be troublesome!
"Brother, where did you come from today?" Li Dayong asked after hearing what Song Xiangchen said. When he heard that Song Xiangchen came from Dahailin, Li Dayong couldn't help but look at Wang Meilan.
Dahailin is in the north. When the Siberian tiger from Lao Guitouzi Ridge wanted to cross the border for refuge a few days ago, he wanted to go to Dahailin, but Zhao Youcai was so frightened that he turned back.
If these two men were going to and from Yong'an Tun and Dahailin, they would pass by the 61st and 62nd Linbans, so they would not easily run into Zhao Jun and the others.
But Wang Meilan didn't know much about these Linbans. She only knew which direction Dahailin was in, but she didn't know which Linbans she had to pass through to go there.
Seeing Li Dayong looking at her at this time, Wang Meilan immediately misunderstood and said to Song Xiangchen: "Brother, you have to eat before you get home! If you are in a hurry, I won't help you two.
The dish is ready, I’ll have someone boil water to cook dumplings for you.”
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Song Xiangchen did not refuse. Wang Meilan asked Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun to accompany the guests. When she got up and went out to the outhouse, she saw Zhao Ling and Xu Chunyan coming back with frozen wild boar meat, fungus, and cabbage.
"No more cooking." Wang Meilan said to the two of them: "They are in a hurry to leave and cook dumplings for them."
Zhao Ling agreed, put down the things in her hands, turned around and walked out. At this time, Wang Meilan went to the east room and called Li Ruhai who was watching TV. She took out money from her pocket, found ten yuan and handed it to Li Ruhai, saying: "Ruhai
, you go to the small shop and buy two jasmine cakes and four kilograms of bald pancakes."
Wang Meilan felt bad for lying to Song Xiangchen just now. The old man was over sixty and had come all the way, so he was sent back like this. But there was no way, Wang Meilan just didn't want Zhao Jun to go hunting tigers.
So, Wang Meilan wanted to get something for the two men. A box of Yingchun cigarettes costs 50 cents. If you buy them in strips at Wang Fu's snack shop, you can get two strips for a piece cheaper. The remaining piece can be used to buy a few kilograms of dry food for them.
Eat on the road.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Ruhai took the money and left happily. He could not earn a penny from this errand, but he was satisfied with the opportunity to go to the small shop.
Wang Meilan cooked two pots of dumplings, more than eighty dumplings, and both Song Xiangchen and Song Changqing ate them all.
After having a full meal and a bowl of dumpling soup, the two stood up to say goodbye. At this time, Wang Meilan handed over cigarettes and dry food, and they talked about it for a long time before Song Xiangchen accepted it.
When waiting to see the two men off, Li Dayong said to Wang Meilan: "Sister-in-law, please stay at home while I see the old man off."
Wang Meilan also thought that since both Li Dayong and the others were men, it would be easier for them to get along, so Wang Meilan agreed immediately.
After Li Dayong sent Song Xiangchen and Song Changqing out of the yard, Song Xiangchen said to Li Dayong: "Brother, go back, it's very cold outside."
They were not familiar with each other, so it stands to reason that at this time Li Dayong would tell the Song family father and son to be careful on the road, and then he could go back to the house.
Unexpectedly, Li Dayong took two steps and came to Song Xiangchen's side, saying, "Brother, if you want to find someone to kill the tiger, you might as well find my elder brother."
"Your eldest brother?" Song Xiangchen's eyes lit up when he heard this and asked, "Where is your eldest brother's home?"
Song Xiangchen thought that the eldest brother Li Dayong mentioned was his own eldest brother.
"Isn't this my eldest brother's house?" Li Dayong gestured towards the Zhao family courtyard and said, "My eldest brother Zhao Youcai shoots like a gun."
Hearing what Li Dayong said, the Song family father and son looked at each other, and then saw Song Xiangchen clasping his fists at Li Dayong, saying: "I won't bother the Zhao brothers, what about...Brother Li, let's go!"
"Ah? Then... then..." Li Dayong waved his hand after a while and said: "Brother, you two, please slow down!"
"Well, let's go back!" Song Xiangchen waved to Li Dayong and left with Song Changqing.
…
When the Song family's father and son entered Zhao's house, two large water shoots were fed together. A total of more than 40 kilograms of cold water extinguished the fire near the big bluestone.
Bah... la...
Water splashed on the big bluestone, making a sound, and water droplets rolled and slid on the big bluestone.
Zhao Youcai swung the shovel to pinch the snow, and Xing San used it to feed Luo Baixue, and they all moved up towards the big bluestone.
The snow fell on the bluestone and made a crackling sound again. The snow turned into water and flowed downwards, but it quickly evaporated on the hot bluestone.
At this time, Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang each carried a bucket and ran to the water. It was very close to the water source and could be reached in one minute's running.
So, the two of them came back quickly and poured cold water on the big bluestone.
Amidst the clattering sound, irregular cracks appeared on the surface of the big bluestone.
The four of them stopped and watched, and then they heard a crackling sound, and the big bluestone cracked!
It didn't split in half, it split into many pieces. The pieces were vertically facing Zhao Jun and the others, and vertically towards the fire just now.
Zhao Jun swung his pickaxe and dug up a piece of bluestone. Zhao Youcai, Wang Qiang and Xing worked together to pull the piece of bluestone aside.
After dragging away the large pieces of bluestone, the four of them saw that half of the tree hole was covered with stone slabs.
Zhao Jun went over and took a shovel to explore. The stone slab was not only the part in the tree hole, but also extended outwards.
"Oops?"
The three of Zhao Jun also felt strange, but the work was done now. Zhao Jun swung his shovel and threw aside the burnt wood and mortar remaining in the fire.
After two or three hours of fire, the land had already melted away. After Zhao Jun cleaned it up, a stone slab one and a half meters long and one meter wide was revealed.
Zhao Jun on the left used a big stick to lift one side of the stone slab. Wang Qiang on the right used a pickaxe to hook it. Zhao Youcai and Xing San stepped forward to move the stone slab and stand it up.
Zhao Jun glanced under the stone slab, pulled out his stick and pointed it to the right, shouting: "Slow down, slow down, don't hit your feet!"
As he said that, Zhao Jun had arrived on the right side and inserted the stick in his hand diagonally in front of Zhao Youcai and Xing San's legs.
"I'll shout one, two, three!" Wang Qiang greeted, Zhao Youcai and Xing San all responded: "You go ahead and shout!"
"One, two, three!" When Wang Qiang shouted three, the three of them pulled the stone slab towards them with all their strength, and at the same time they pulled back.
The moment the stone slab fell down, it was stopped by a stick inserted diagonally by Zhao Jun. The stone slab weighing more than three hundred kilograms was pressed on the stick. How could Zhao Jun hold it? But before that, Zhao Youcai, Wang Qiang, and Xing were already there.
Averted.
The slate hit the ground heavily, and Zhao Youcai, Wang Qiang, and Xing San stepped on the slate and ran towards the place where the slate was previously covered.
At this time, Zhao Jun had arrived in front of the so-called treasure cellar.
The lower four outer circles are made of stones, just like a cellar door, with a large pine box placed in the middle.
The red pine box is coated with beeswax to look like a coffin, which has antiseptic properties.
The four people started to lift the pine box out. They were very happy when they lifted it. The box was quite heavy.
Put the box on the ground and four people stand around the box.
"Nephew, you open it!" At this time, Wang Qiang spoke first and gave Zhao Jun the opportunity to open the box.
Zhao Jun was not polite and went over to look at the lid of the box. The lid of the box was unlocked, but after being buried underground for so many years, the lid seemed to have grown on the box.
Zhao Jun used a knife to scrape one side of the box. When he saw a slight gap, he made a light scratch with the knife blade. After making three-quarters of a circle along the gap, he tapped the knife lightly, and a rotten smell penetrated into Zhao Jun's nose.
When I opened the box, I saw a layer of earth-yellow cloth on top of the box. At this time, a gust of mountain wind blew, and this layer of cloth fell away with the wind.
It has been buried for too long, and the cloth has already deteriorated. It is better not to see the light of day, but it will scatter if it is exposed to the sun and is exposed to the wind.
It disperses, revealing what's underneath.
On the right are two things that look like porcelain, containing silver coins. On the left is a pocket that looks like silk cloth, and another pocket made of unknown leather.
"This belongs to our family!" Wang Qiang pointed to the silk bag with excitement and said, "This cloth is the same as my mother's clothes..."
While Wang Qiang was talking, a gust of mountain wind blew, and the silk bag fell apart in the wind.
As soon as the pocket was opened, the golden light flashed.
Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, Wang Qiang, and Xing San all had eight eyes straightened instantly.
A small goldfish as long as a pinky finger, a gold ingot as big as a sheep Galaha, but not the gold ingot that Wang Meilan talks about!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Without the restraint of bags, these things fell apart, making a crisp sound when knocked against the porcelain next to them.
Zhao Jun picked up a small goldfish. This thing was so light that it didn't even weigh one or two goldfish. Zhao Jun held it in front of him and looked at the words on it. He couldn't help but frown and said: "Made by the Central Government..."
Zhao Jun didn't recognize the three characters after this line, so he continued to read the next line and said: "In July of the fourth year of the Republic of China?"
That "ji" is the character thirty, which Zhao Jun didn't recognize.
At the same time, Xing San took the silver dollar from the porcelain, took a look at it and said, "Yuan Datou."
"Let me see what this is?" Zhao Youcai struggled to bring up a porcelain object. This object was barrel-shaped and had a magpie branch painted on it.
Zhao Youcai took one look and said to the three of them with certainty: "This is a pen holder."
"Brother-in-law, please pull it down." Wang Qiang smiled and said, "That's a hat tube!"
"Hat tube?" Zhao Youcai was startled when he heard this, and looked at Zhao Jun and said, "Is your mother always talking about that?"
"Oops!" Zhao Jun was startled and hurriedly put the little goldfish in his pocket, then leaned over and carefully held the object, saying: "I can't prepare for it!"
"What is this?" Xing San came over curiously. He had heard of pen holders, but he didn't know what hat holders were.
"This is where the ancient officials kept their hats." Wang Qiang explained, then reached out and took out another hat tube from the wooden box.
How could they understand this thing? After looking at it for a long time, they couldn't understand it. They just dumped the Yuan Datou in the hat tube into Zhao Jun's shoulder bag.
"Look what's in there?" Xing San pointed at the leather bag. He didn't know what kind of leather it was made of, but it hadn't rotted after being buried in the ground for so many years.
The moment Zhao Jun reached for his leather bag, he suddenly heard a sound coming from above.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
