Chapter 54: Going up the mountain to see the reference
At this moment, Zhao Dahai said that as long as Xu Shiyan was willing to go up the mountain to see the ginseng, he would agree to any conditions, let alone for the sake of seeing the ginseng.
However, Zhao Dahai was also very curious and had to ask about what Xu Shiyan wanted to do.
Of course there was no need to hide this, Xu Shiyan told Zhao Dahai what he wanted to do.
A ground gun, as the name suggests, is something similar to a gun installed on the ground. It is very simple.
An iron pipe more than two feet long is welded with a machine spring at one end that holds gunpowder. At night, the machine spring is connected to the iron wire and tightened, and the other end of the iron wire is tied to a tree.
Once someone touches the iron wire, the machine spring springs open to ignite the gunpowder, and the gun sand inside will spray out.
This thing shoots iron sand out, not bullets, so its lethality is not very strong.
However, when the gun sand is sprayed out, it forms a fan shape, and the impact area is large. If someone triggers the spring of the machine and gets hit, it will definitely be enough.
The sound of the gun can be loud enough to call the police, and it has a certain lethality. It is placed in some hidden places around the ginseng field, and it is definitely a sharp weapon for watching ginseng.
In the 1990s, almost all venues were equipped with this thing. It was only two thousand years later that it was banned.
Let's talk about the cannon. The principle of this thing is similar to that of a grenade, so its power is naturally not as good as that of a grenade.
At most, it is noisier than the crackers played by children in later generations, and it mainly serves as a warning.
As for nail boards, clamps, etc., they are basically the methods used by hunters.
Anyway, these are all arranged around the venue. No matter if thieves or wild beasts come, there is enough for a pot.
"Oh, look, I'll tell you that I can definitely come to you for this matter." After hearing this, Zhao Dahai slapped his thigh with joy.
"How do you think your brain grows? How do you come up with these ideas?
OK, I will issue a certificate for you right away, and all expenses will be recorded on the team."
This is natural. If you pay for the tools you use, they will still be part of the team in the future.
Zhao Dahai happily issued the certificate to Xu Shiyan. Xu Shiyan got up early the next morning and went straight to the commune's blacksmith furnace, while Su Anying packed her things at home and prepared to go up the mountain.
On October 21st, Xu Shiyan prepared all the things he wanted, and he and Su Anying took the carriage that the team used to go to the mountains to work, and went straight to Qianchuan to attend the event.
When the people in the village learned that Xu Shiyan had gone up the mountain to see ginseng, many people disagreed.
"What a good young man. He goes to the mountains to look at ginseng like an old man and takes his wife with him. He is really worthless."
"I've told you a long time ago that his little ability may not be as much as a good old woman earning as much work points.
Winter is coming soon, and there is not much work in the team. I can go up the mountain to watch the scene, and at least I can get some work points."
"That's right, if you ask me, he just had better luck and got a few ginseng trees this year.
If you look at his virtue and a group of people surrounding him, I don't believe he can still be so lucky?"
In this world, there will never be a shortage of people who will flatter you openly but secretly want to stab you.
Xu Shiyan has been in the limelight this year. Many people in the village are following him and want to take advantage of him.
But there are also some people who on the surface speak better than what they sing, but secretly they are jealous and jealous, wishing that something would happen to Xu Shiyan.
This is human nature. If you live a good life, others may not bless you, but if you live a bad life, a lot of people will immediately gloat about your misfortune.
Xu Shiyan naturally didn't know what the villagers said, and even if they knew, he wouldn't care.
There are many ways to look at ginseng here. Those who know how to look at ginseng can make a lot of money in a few years. Those who don't know the secrets can only just eat and drink.
Although Xu Shiyan seemed reluctant to go up the mountain in front of Zhao Dahai, in fact he was eager to live in the mountain.
Ever since Xu Shiyan and his wife came back from Tonghua, people have been coming to their house all day long. Fortunately, many of them came directly to borrow money.
I don't know why these people are so thick-skinned. They don't have any business on weekdays, and they just open their mouths and borrow a hundred and eighty yuan, just like Xu Shiyan's family's money was blown by the strong wind.
Xu Shiyan had already discussed it with Su Anying and ignored whoever came to borrow money.
He just said that he has to build a house and have a baby next year, and his own money is not enough.
Even so, there are still some people who are not willing to give in. This autumn has caused trouble in the village. Xu Shiyan and his wife have big heads.
Zhao Dahai came to Xu Shiyan and just followed Xu Shiyan's heart.
How nice would it be for the couple to move to the mountains, far away from the village, and live their little life in peace?
Not to mention the inconvenience at the top of the mountain, in fact, the big house is no different from the place in the mountain, both are equally inconvenient.
As for participating in the event, with the things Xu Shiyan made, plus the guns provided by the brigade, and the dogs, there is no need to worry at all.
In this way, the young couple happily went up the mountain. Others were busy planting ginseng, and the couple began to clean up everywhere.
In the past, when Old Li Tou was here, this house was covered in ash, and there was a lot of grease on the kitchen pot and table.
Su Anying wrinkled her nose after looking at it, filled up the water, rolled up her sleeves and started cleaning.
Su Anying was busy cleaning up the house, while Xu Shiyan went around the venue, digging traps, burying nail boards, setting up guns, and tying up cannons. The couple were very busy.
After the busy day of planting ginseng in the mountains was over, Xu Shiyan also finished decorating everything that needed to be arranged, and even hung a sign outside the gate of the ginseng field.
"There are ground guns around. Please don't get close. You will not be responsible for any injuries. What is this? What is a ground gun?"
When the workers saw this, they were very puzzled, what did Xu Shiyan do?
"Third brother, please tell me, what is a ground gun?" If you have any good information, go to Xu Shiyan and ask.
"Well, I just want to tell you. When you come to work on the mountain, don't go near the circle of sticks around the field."
Even if these people didn't ask, Xu Shiyan had to tell them to avoid accidentally hurting anyone.
"I not only placed ground guns around, but also dug traps and buried nail boards. If anyone wanders around and gets hurt, I don't care."
Xu Shiyan told everyone about the power of the ground gun, and then emphatically reminded everyone not to wander around.
Some people were illiterate and couldn't understand what was written on the sign, so Xu Shiyan made it clear to them in person and asked them to go back and tell their families.
Let me tell you in advance, if these people continue to run around randomly, they will be responsible for the consequences if they get injured.
"Damn it, third brother, you are too cruel."
After hearing this, the faces of the group of people changed. It was so scary. If they were sprayed with ground guns, they would suffer the consequences even if they didn't die.
"It won't work if I'm not ruthless. In our village, all the young and old are pointing at sticks to make money. If I'm not ruthless, someone will steal it.
Let them steal it, what are the whole village pointing at?" Xu Shiyan smiled and said indifferently.
"Yes, yes, that's the truth. You can't be merciful to those thieves.
The thief last time has not been caught yet. If he had been caught, I would have beaten him to death."
When this matter was mentioned, everyone gritted their teeth. If the thief were in front of them, they would probably be torn into pieces.
