"Uncle Zhao, if you have anything to do, just ask me."
Xu Shiyan still respected Zhao Dahai. If he came to look for him this late at night, there must be something important.
Zhao Dahai rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Well, that's what happened.
You see, you went into the mountains to dig for big stuff, and all the young and old men in our village are also greedy for it."
"They came to me just now and wanted me to ask you if you can take the big guys and go into the mountains again?"
One or two thousand yuan, who wouldn't be jealous after seeing it? There has been a lot of commotion in the village these two days, all because of this matter.
Some people felt unbalanced, so they went to Zhao Dahai.
Although Zhao Dahai probably pushed him back, he still felt unhappy.
Originally, some people wanted to trouble Xu Shiyan, but when the Chen family came to make a scene in the afternoon and failed to please him, some people gave up.
When the remaining people thought about it, it was not easy to find trouble, so they would let Xu Shiyan lead them into the mountain.
Xu Shiyan is very lucky, Bao Buqi follows him, will he really meet him?
So many people found Zhao Dahai and discussed with him, asking Zhao Dahai to come forward and tell Xu Shiyan.
While there are still a few days left for the autumn harvest, go for a walk in the mountains. What if you get something?
Xu Shiyan was dumbfounded when he heard this. Ask him to lead people into the mountain again? Isn't this a joke?
There are rules for digging up the mountain. As long as you encounter six leaves, even if you meet them on the first day, you must go down the mountain immediately after digging this tree.
The mountain god will reward you with this wealth. People cannot be greedy. If they are not greedy enough, something will happen.
Xu Shiyan went into the mountain and dug up two six-leaf trees. If he went into the mountain again, wouldn't he be looking for trouble?
"Uncle, isn't this bad? I've already dug two trees, and that's where my fortune ends.
If you guys are serious, it’s fine to go into the mountains with me next year. But not this year, there’s no such rule.”
Xu Shiyan frowned, the rules that had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years could not be broken here.
“Look at you kid, you didn’t even see six leaves when you went into the mountains, why do you think your fortune is here?
Maybe if you go into the mountains, you can meet Liupiye? Didn't you always have to go to the mountains before Luoxue? It won't matter if you go back again."
Zhao Dahai looked disapproving, feeling that Xu Shiyan was not giving him face.
Xu Shiyan suddenly remembered, yes, no one else knew about his encounter with Liupiye.
"Uncle, I'm young and inexperienced, so it doesn't matter if I go out on my own.
You ask me to be the leader and lead everyone into the mountains. This is really not okay.
If something happens, I can't bear the responsibility." Xu Shiyan was very embarrassed.
"San'er, uncle, there's nothing we can do about it. They all came to me and asked you to hand over the money to the team. So what do you want me to do?"
Zhao Dahai seemed a little angry and his expression was not good.
"If you listen to my uncle, just take them for a walk in the mountains. It will only take three to five days. Don't take longer."
If they can meet him, it's because they have the fortune. If they can't meet him, these people won't care about him.
Just for your uncle and me, can you make a little effort to run away?"
Zhao Dahai was really helpless. He wanted to protect Xu Shiyan, but public anger was hard to offend.
You can't offend a whole village just for Xu Shiyan, right?
"Uncle, you have talked so much, so I really have nothing to say, so let's go."
What can Xu Shiyan do? Now that they are still living in a big house, they can't offend everyone, right?
"But we agreed, the mountains are dangerous, and you have to obey me when entering the mountains. Otherwise, don't come looking for me if something happens." The ugly words are to be said up front.
"Also, whoever is willing to go, let the young people go into the mountains. Don't they say that they will have good luck at the beginning? Don't follow the old man."
Those old guys won't listen to Xu Shiyan's manipulations at all. When the time comes to enter the mountain, seven people will be in charge of the house and eight people will be in charge. Who will they listen to?
"Okay, okay, as long as you nod, I will take care of the rest." Zhao Dahai was particularly happy when he heard this.
Each family sends a young man to the mountains, and the others don't have to delay working in the fields. This is a good arrangement.
"Okay, I have to go and inform them so that everyone can prepare and go up the mountain tomorrow. Go early and come back early, we still have to harvest in the autumn."
After Zhao Dahai finished speaking, he said goodbye to Xu Chenghou and left in a hurry without stopping.
After Zhao Dahai left, Xu Shiyan looked back at his family and sighed.
"Dad, please don't let anyone follow you at home, which will delay your work. It's not that easy to release the mountain, so don't listen to their nonsense."
In the busy season of autumn, why are everyone doing such a high-profile job? It’s just because they’re full and looking for trouble.
"I'm leading a few young people into the mountains. If we don't meet them, that's fine. If we do, I don't want them this time. They belong to the family, okay?"
Xu Shiyan was afraid that some of his brothers would also be greedy and insist on following him, which would delay all the work at home.
It's purely a matter of no consequence, so why bother wasting that time? If you have this time, wouldn't it be nice to earn some work points?
The Xu family's father and son were really excited just now. They dream of getting rich, and they can dream of anything.
But when Xu Shiyan said this, Xu Chenghou also calmed down.
Yes, what the third son said is reasonable. It takes only four or five days to go back to the mountain. What can you do if you have that time?
"Okay, then why don't you go with me? What can I do? Who told you to make money? I'm jealous." Xu Chenghou nodded, agreeing.
After the discussion was completed, Xu Shiyan took Su Anying back to Li's house to rest.
The couple went out for several days, but fortunately Mrs. Li burned the kang every day, so they didn't sleep on the cold kang.
Xu Shiyan sent the things he brought to Mrs. Li to the east room, chatted with the old lady for a while, and then returned to the house.
The couple organized all the things they brought back and locked them in the cabinet, and finally went to the kang to rest.
September 2nd, the 19th day of the seventh lunar month.
Early in the morning, some young people in the village started busy preparing. These people had little experience and procrastinated until ten o'clock, when they finally gathered.
After counting the number of people, there were exactly thirteen including Xu Shiyan.
Seeing this number of people, Xu Shiyan felt somewhat relieved. He was really afraid that all the more than 80 households in the village had sent people over, and there would really be no one in the team to work.
And there are rules in Fangshan. If you go in an odd or even number, the number of people must be odd when you go. When you come back, including ginseng, it is an even number.
If you take a closer look at the people who come here, most of them have not worked hard all day long and always want to hide their adultery and play tricks to get around.
As for Yang Chunming and others, they didn't come at all.
Yes, we are passing through life, who bothers with this?
Now is not the time at all. If you delay farm work and go to the mountains, ordinary people will not be able to do it.
These people, headed by Chen Deyong, are usually close to the Chen family.
Therefore, if there were no Chen family members provoking trouble here, Xu Shiyan would not believe it even if he were beaten to death.
"I promised you in advance that you have to listen to me when you enter the mountain. If you don't listen to me, don't blame me if something happens."
As the saying goes, villains first, gentlemen later, ugly words come first to avoid getting into trouble.
"Brother Xu, don't worry, we will definitely listen to you." Chen Deyong and several other boys shouted loudly.
"Okay, then stop talking nonsense and let's go."
Xu Shiyan simply said nothing. He carried his backpack and led others out of the village, heading south towards Qianchuan.
