The business of raising ginseng in the mountains has more rules than hunting. It is said that wild ginseng cannot be seen except by those who are lucky. All opportunities come from the mountain god, the boss, so "worship when there is a sign" is the tradition of the mountain herders.
If there is a sign, there will be a ginsengzi. With piety and respect, pray to the mountain god, and the boss will bless you and make you rich.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Zhao Youcai praying for an omen. Even if the omen was cut by his son, Zhao Youcai was not praying to Zhao Jun, but to the mountain god, the boss.
But the key point is that this omen is false, and it is useless for Zhao Youcai to kowtow to the ground. How can Wang Qiang not stop him?
After hearing Wang Qiang's words, Zhao Youcai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Jun mentioned this issue last night.
"Fuck!" Zhao Youcai spat out something sweet and got up from the ground in shame and anger.
Seeing that Zhao Youcai's eyes were unkind and his cheeks were tense, Wang Qiang did not dare to say anything and only gave Zhao Youcai a torch.
Zhao Youcai took the torch and followed Wang Qiang to the treasure cellar. He walked around the big bluestone and the tree and looked at the traces of carvings on the tree trunk. Zhao Youcai nodded decently and said, "It should be under here."
Woolen cloth!"
"Yeah!" Wang Qiang's mouth twitched slightly, and he had the urge to say something strange, but he was afraid that Zhao Youcai's anger had not subsided, so he didn't dare.
At this time, Zhao Jun had arrived at Lao Guotou's shack. He parked his motorcycle and entered the shack to pick up Xing San.
The old man had already finished his meal and was sitting on the kang with Guo Dewang and smoking.
Seeing Zhao Jun coming, Xing San immediately got up from the kang and greeted Zhao Jun to get his things.
Watching Zhao Jun take out a shovel, pickaxe, and chain saw, Guo Dewang asked Zhao Jun curiously: "Children, what are you doing?"
When Xing San came to stay for the night the day before yesterday, Guo Dewang asked him the reason for his visit. At that time, Xing San said that he came to pick out badgers, but Guo Dewang didn't think much of it.
But Xing San went out for a day yesterday and came back by motorcycle in the evening. He also brought back so many tools, shovels, and pickaxes, which are indeed used for picking out badgers, but who can pick out badgers with such a big battle?
Besides, what kind of badger hole is it? I dug it out all day yesterday and still can’t finish it?
"Why didn't I tell you to pick the badger?" At this time, Xing San rushed ahead of Zhao Jun to respond to Guo Dewang, cursing and saying: "I told you several times, but I am still asking!"
Guo Dewang quickly shut up, but gave Xing San a fierce look. Guo Dewang felt that he was not as knowledgeable as Xing San, because this shack was given to him by Xing San, not because of Xing San's other picks on the waist.
Bone knife.
Zhao Jun glanced at Guo Dewang, but he said nothing and walked out with the chainsaw and tools on his back.
At this time, Xing San said to Guo Dewang: "I'll take those two big water tips of yours first and send them back to you after using them."
Shui Shao is a northern dialect, and to put it bluntly, it is an iron bucket.
Guo Dewang lives in a shack in the mountains and usually uses a pole to carry water tips to get water. The two big water tips can last him for a week.
When he heard that Xing San wanted to borrow the water tip, Guo Dewang became even more suspicious, but he didn't dare to ask anymore. He just said: "You can take it and bring it back to me after you use it."
"I'll definitely bring it back to you. I have to stay at your place at night." Xing San said, holding the pole and walking out.
Guo Dewang stood up to see him off, but heard Xing San say: "Give me your feeder too."
"Ah..." Guo Dewang reached back and picked up the fish feeder he used to catch fish, and carried it out the door.
The two big Shuishiaos and Weideluo were tied to the back of the motorcycle, and the pole and spade were tied together. Then Xing San got on the car and was carried by Zhao Jun before disappearing in front of the shack.
Guo Dewang stretched his neck and looked at Zhao Jun and the direction Xing San was leaving. He was curious but did not dare to follow.
At this moment, two people came down from Gangcha in the south. Seeing someone in front of the shack, they came over and asked for directions: "Brother, how to get to Yong'an Tun?"
…
Ten minutes later, at the same place where they parked yesterday, Zhao Jun locked his motorcycle on a tree and went with Xing San to meet Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang.
By the time the four men gathered together, it was already 7:15. During this time, Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang were not idle either. They pulled a lot of dry branches nearby.
As soon as the chain saw arrived, I immediately went to find Song Mingzi, smashed the wooden box and cut firewood. At half past eight, a firewood pile was set up on the south side of the big bluestone.
When the firewood was lit, the flames quickly shot up to two meters high. When the mountain wind blew, the fire started to reach the trunk of the tree in the north. The tree may have been supported by a stone, and there was a bow to the north. The wind needed to blow the fire to reach it.
Another thing is that the water in the trunk freezes in winter, so the tree is difficult to burn.
And the fire was not set to burn trees, but to burn stones. The stones were burning hot, and when cold mountain spring water was poured on them, the stones exploded, revealing the treasure cellar underneath, right?
If you want to succeed once, you have to burn it to a fever pitch.
The four of them patiently sat around the fire and chatted until about ten o'clock. During this period, they added firewood twice to ensure that the fire was not too big or too small.
Now that no more firewood was added, the fire gradually decreased. Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang stood up. Zhao Jun carried two water sticks, Wang Qiang carried Feed Luo, and the two of them went to carry water not far away.
…
At the same time, two outsiders came to Yongan Village.
These two people, who were tired of life, came from the south of Yong'an Village. When they passed a house along the way, they saw someone walking out of the courtyard.
This man was not very old, but he behaved strangely. He walked with his legs crossed and his body swaying, like a big duck.
"Young man!" The older of the two asked him for directions and said, "Let me ask you, how to get to Zhao Youcai's house?"
"Huh?" Zhang Laibao was stunned, thinking why he didn't go to Zhao Jun this time?
Zhang Laibao raised his hand and subconsciously wanted to show the two of them the wrong way, but then he thought about it, and he was beaten twice for pointing the wrong way.
Thinking about it, Zhang Laibao waved his hands in frustration and said, "I don't know!"
"Hey?" Hearing this, the middle-aged man pointed angrily at Zhang Laibao and said, "What's going on with you little brother? Isn't this Yongan Village? You live in the same village, how can you not know?"
Being pointed at by the middle-aged man, Zhang Laibao subconsciously took a step back. For fear of being beaten again, Zhang Laibao hurriedly found a step for himself and asked: "You two are not from our forest area, are you? Why are you looking for Zhao Youcai?
?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "My father and I are from Lingnan Han Songbaozi." At this time, the old man who was the first to ask for directions stopped the middle-aged man, and then said to Zhang Laibao: "We
Come here to find Zhao Youcai and Zhao Jun, and want them to come to our place to hunt tigers!"
This old man's name is Song Xiangchen. He is the old secretary of Han Songbaozi, the third uncle of Huang Gui's wife Song Lan, and the uncle of Zhang Yuanmin's father.
Back then, Zhang Datou traveled to Han and Song Dynasty. Song Xiangchen saw that he was pitiful and accepted him to herd cattle for the production team.
At that time, as the Siberian tigers were migrating, Zhang Datou devised a plan to drive cattle and catch tigers, allowing the Siberian tigers to eat two more cows from the Hansongbaozi production brigade.
I think back then, Yongan Forest Farm would go to war because of tigers eating cows. How could Hansongbaozi production team lose three cows in a row?
Song Xiangchen took the blame and resigned, and since then, the Han family has been the secretary of their production team.
Many years later, Han Songbaozi encountered tiger trouble again, and Song Xiangchen invited his niece and son-in-law Huang Gui to hunt tigers.
Huang Laozi is really pissy, he hugged a tiger when he got there, but he didn't expect that this time it was two tigers crossing the border.
After Huang Gui was injured, he recommended Zhao Jun to Song Xiangchen on the hospital bed. When he heard that it was the general who was hiding in the Wei Zhen Ridge, Song Xiangchen was of course happy, but when he called Yong'an Tun, he was stopped by Wang Meilan.
As the name suggests, Hansongbaozi was originally a gathering place for the Han and Song surnames. Over the years, the two surnames have intermarried, and they have long been indistinguishable from each other.
But Song Xiangchen regarded his resignation as a lifelong shame. Although the old man was old, he wanted to watch his son take back the throne of brigade secretary from the Han family before closing his eyes.
As the saying goes: Where you fell, you got up.
In this tiger hunt, not only their family was looking for someone, but the brigade secretary Han Qiushi's family was also looking for someone. Now both parties have failed to eliminate the tiger problem, so the Song family father and son came to Yong'an.
It happened that someone in the brigade went to Dahailin to visit relatives, so the two of them followed Dahailin, who had arrived first, and then went to Yongan to invite Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai.
This was Huang Gui's opinion. When he was in Yong'an, he saw Zhao Youcai displaying tiger ears and tail, and he knew that Zhao Youcai was really talented.
So after arriving at Yong'an Village, when Song Xiangchen inquired about it, he asked Zhao Youcai how to get there. This was normal, after all, Zhao Youcai was an old man.
"Tiger hunting?" Hearing Song Xiangchen's words, Zhang Laibao was startled and asked, "Isn't that illegal?"
"We reported it!" middle-aged man Song Changqing said: "That tiger mother harmed our old cow, but luckily she didn't hurt her child."
"Harming Lao Niu?" Zhang Laibao was amused, smiled and waved his hands: "Then don't look for Zhao Youcai."
"Huh?" Song Xiangchen and Song Changqing were stunned. Song Xiangchen asked: "Young man, why is that?"
"Hahaha..." Zhang Laibao laughed at first, and then said: "He has done more harm to the old cow than the tiger mother!"
Hearing his words, the Song family father and son looked at each other, and the same thought flashed through their minds: "Is he another idiot?"
At this time, Song Xiangchen winked at Song Changqing, and Song Changqing asked Zhang Laibao: "Little brother, what's going on?"
Zhang Laibao smiled, moved his hand around the outer circle, and said with a smile: "You two are here in the village to ask around. I found out that Zhao Youcai has a nickname called Cow Slaughter Pao, hahaha..."
"Cow-slaughtering cannon?" The father and son of the Song family looked at each other, but Zhang Laibao continued: "In less than two months, he killed two old cows. How can you still get better if you go to him?"
Song Xiangchen was old enough to see that Zhang Laibao didn't look like he was blind, so he asked: "What about Zhao Jun?"
"Zhao Jun..." Zhang Laibao pursed his lips after hearing this. He wanted to hack Zhao Jun more than Zhao Wealthy, but Zhao Jun couldn't hack him. General Fu Hu had been in the newspaper, so how could he be hacked?
At this moment, a person walked by. Zhang Laibao winced, raised his hand and gestured forward, and said in a panic: "She is going to Zhao Jun's house, let her take you there."
After saying that, Zhang Laibao turned around and ran back, not even going to the latrine.
Song Xiangchen squinted and saw a little old lady walking across the street in front of him. He hurriedly chased her with Song Changqing and called out: "Sister!"
Xie Sun, who was on her way, was stunned. She looked to both sides blankly and saw no one around. She knew that the person behind her was calling her.
But when Mrs. Jie Sun turned around and saw that it was an old man, she immediately raised her head, moved her chin forward, and asked angrily: "Who do you call eldest sister? You, the youngest, are so cute!"
"I..." Song Xiangchen almost couldn't breathe. Song Changqing beside him was also angry, but he couldn't argue with an old lady.
"Sister." Song Xiangchen calmed down and secretly looked at Mrs. Jie Sun in front of him. He saw that the little old lady was wearing a new cotton-padded jacket and new trousers. She had her hands in each other's sleeves and had a bad look on her face.
looking at himself.
Since arriving at Zhao Jun's house, Mr. Xie Sun has gained more than ten kilograms, her cheeks are bulging, and her face is full of flesh, which makes her look scary.
Song Xiangchen said politely: "We want to go to Zhao Youcai's house."
"What are you two...doing?" Upon hearing that these two people were running to Zhao's house, Xie Sun became vigilant instantly and looked at Song Xiangchen and Song Changqing up and down.
"We came here from Lingnan Han Songbaozi." Song Xiangchen said: "I want to invite Zhao...that..."
Halfway through his words, Song Xiangchen paused for a moment, and then continued: "Please ask Zhao Jun to help us fight the tiger."
Originally he invited Zhao Youcai and Zhao Jun, but after hearing what Zhang Laibao said, Song Xiangchen changed his mind and invited only Zhao Jun.
"Tiger hunting?" Xie Sun frowned, guessing that Huang Gui had brought these two people, but Xie Sun knew that her sister didn't want Zhao Jun to go into this muddy water.
But when she thought about Huang Gui's reputation here, Xie Sun shook her head to the east and said: "Let's go, follow me!"
As he said that, Mr. Xie Sun led the way, leading Song Xiangchen and Song Changqing to Zhao Jun's house.
But they didn't go far. When they passed Wang Fu's small shop, Mr. Xie Sun paused, moved his chin to the side of the road, and said to the Song family and his son, "This is our village shop."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Selling a shop?" Song Changqing was stunned, but Song Xiangchen reacted first and said: "Ah, I was still thinking, can't I go to the house empty-handed?"
After Song Xiangchen finished speaking, seeing that Mr. Sun didn't answer anything, he took Song Changqing into the small shop.
The customs in Lingnan and Lingdong are similar. The Song family's father and son bought two bottles of canned food and two bottles of mountain white wine in a small store. They collected four boxes of gifts and spent nearly two yuan. After they came out, they went to Zhao Jun's house with Xie Sun.
Two or three minutes later, he heard the barking of a dog in front of him. Xie Sun raised his hand and pointed forward, saying, "Then it's Zhao Jun's house."
"Ah!" Song Xiangchen listened to the barking of dogs one after another and said, "How many dogs are there?"
"Twenty or so." Mr. Xie Sun reported a number, which shocked the Song family and his son. This number was half as big as theirs.
As they were talking, the dog barked even more fiercely at the sounds of strangers. At this time, at the door of Zhao's house, the Song family father and son looked at the thousands of wintersweet flowers on the fence and couldn't help but stay on the spot.
"Then what..." Mrs. Jie Sun waved her hand to the Song family father and son, and said, "You two wait here, I will go in and report."
The word "tongzhen" was used by Li Dayong to tease Xie Chen two days ago. Li Dayong said that Xie Chen would light lamps every day, so he might as well build a small room at the door and let Xie Chen be the concierge, and he would inform Xie Chen of guests coming and going.
This was a joke between the elders and the younger ones. Everyone laughed loudly after hearing it, but Mr. Xie Sun remembered the word Tongzhen.
At this time, Xie Sun was not just trying to show off, she wanted to go in and talk to Wang Meilan first so that Wang Meilan would be prepared. After all, Wang Meilan didn't want Zhao Jun to go hunting tigers.
Seeing Mrs. Xie Sun run into the courtyard, Song Changqing pointed at Mr. Xie Sun's back and said to Song Xiangchen: "Dad, who is this person? You still know! What the hell..."
At this time, Song Xiangchen was looking up at the two red lanterns hanging high. After listening to Song Changqing's words, Song Xiangchen gritted his teeth and said: "This is a landlord's old fortune!"
