The three of them walked around and finally arrived in the countryside. The three of them were thinking about how to get to the village. The fat man had sharp eyes, but he saw Yanzi's father who came to the countryside to do some shopping. They met again after a long separation, and they had endless things to say.
When the reminiscing over the old days came to an end, Yanzi's father drove the donkey to pull Lin Feng and the three of them towards the village.
"Oh, we are finally back here again. It's still the same here. Look at how lush the old forest is. I really miss the rabbit meat here, hahaha." The fat man sighed while sitting on the donkey cart.
"You are a foodie and you know how to eat all day long. What I miss more is the people here, the old party secretary, Yanzi and the folks in the village."
Lin Feng was looking at the scenery. He couldn't say anything at this time. All he saw was the endless forest sea, which had a dangerous and attractive mystery that made people want to go in and find out.
The fat man looked at this familiar place and couldn't help singing loudly,
"Through the forest, across the snowy field, soaring into the sky..." As a result, the high note failed to hit and got stuck.
"Hahahaha, fat man, don't attract wolves with your broken voice."
A few people chatted and laughed, and finally arrived at the village.
"Hu Bayi! Fatty! It's you guys who are here!" A surprised voice came from a distance,
"Swallow! Haha, let's see you." Fatty responded.
"You said it's true that you guys haven't come back often to visit after all these years." Yanzi complained, but his eyes were full of smiles.
"Aren't we just here? Hahaha." As soon as Hu Bayi got off the donkey cart, he saw a large group of children surrounding him. He quickly took out fruit candies from his pocket and gave them to the children. Lin Feng also put his hand into his own Pretending to dig into his pocket, he took out toffee and chocolate from the space and distributed them to the children.
The three people were asked enthusiastic questions by the fellow villagers, of course mainly the two of them. Lin Feng was just asking in passing. At this time, the old party secretary finally heard the news and came over.
"Are the Chairman's children back?"
"Oh, old party secretary, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Chairman, how is he doing?"
This sentence made Hu Bayi and Fatty stunned for a moment, and then Fatty joked, "He's a good family, we can take a look from time to time." As a result, Hu Bayi stabbed him, meaning don't let him talk nonsense. .
"Oh, what happened to that *****? You guys, go back and tell the chairman, he, we firmly support the proletarian ***, and we will deal with it as it should." Hu Bayi and The fat man was a little puzzled when he heard these irrelevant words.
At this time, Yanzi stood up and said, "In 1973, when the old party secretary opened fire in the mountains and fired cannons, his ears were deafened."
The two of them suddenly realized, so Hu Bayi said loudly
"It was over long ago. Now Comrade Xiaoping is leading us to carry out reform and opening up."
"What? What does Comrade Xiao Ming do?" the old party secretary asked with a puzzled look.
...
A few people chatted for a few more words, and then they were welcomed into the house by the villagers.
After entering the house, Lin Feng and the other three took out all the gifts they had brought, including various foods and supplies. Lin Feng put in the battery of the tape recorder, turned the volume to the maximum, and played the most popular sweet honey at the time. Everyone was curious. They were talking non-stop around the tape recorder.
"This is so beautifully sung!"
"Yes, she sings much better than Wang Cuihua from the countryside."
...
"Hey, Yanzi, where are the young people in the village?"
"Oh, they are all hired by the archaeological team to work."
"Archaeology team?"
"Oh, that's it. Wasn't there a big earthquake in Tangshan in 1976? Our Gada area also belongs to the earthquake zone. It shook Niuxin Mountain to create a big hole, and then a large palace-style tomb was found inside. There are good things in it. But my nose is old, this matter alarmed the government, so they formed an archaeological team, and people from several nearby villages were hired to work, with food and drink, and three yuan a day."
When Hu Bayi and Fatty heard this, their faces suddenly fell a little. This tomb robbing thing seemed to be dirty. Just keep a smile on your face.
A few people sat around the Kang in the old party secretary's house, eating melon seeds and chatting.
"Why are you two here at this time and bringing so many things? You must have earned a lot of money." asked a somewhat wretched-looking uncle.
Lin Feng and the other three couldn't directly fight back and said directly:
"That's right, our life is much better now than before. Don't we just want to come back and lead the villagers to get rich together?"
"Yes, old party secretary, I remember that there are many vegetable jars in your backyard, right?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Old Party Secretary, we both know such a person in Beijing now, and he is willing to collect these old things."
"Oh, what's the use of my vegetable jar?"
At this time, the fat man interjected, "For you, it's just a pickle, but to others, it's a work of art."
The fat man said, pointing to a plate on the table and said, "Did you see that such a big old thing can be sold for hundreds of yuan in Beijing, so we thought of collecting all these pots and jars in the village and selling them in Beijing." We’ll split the money half and half.”
"What? It's so valuable. It's a pity that you guys are late. Some time ago, the archaeological team came over and each family gave food stamps. They said that these things must be handed over to the state, so now there is none. ." said the young man next to him.
"All turned in?" The fat man was a little surprised.
"I handed it all in. The old branch secretary is very enlightened and doesn't have anything left." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.
Fatty and Hu Ba were immediately chilled as soon as they heard this. The chicken stewed with mushrooms in front of them suddenly lost its aroma. Lin Feng saw that the atmosphere was not right and immediately changed the subject.
"Come on, let's eat quickly. The chicken stewed with mushrooms made by Miss Yanzi will make your mouth water."
At this time, Fatty and Hu Bayi regained their composure, grabbed their chopsticks, forced out a very forced smile and started eating.
The meal was very satisfying. After chatting for a while, Lin Feng and the three of them went to Yanzi's father's house to sleep. Lin Feng did not comfort them. Anyway, they would come up with their own ideas tomorrow. , no need to guide randomly by yourself.
The next day, the three of them woke up together on the earthen bed at Yanzi's father's house.
The fat man rubbed his eyes and said, "Old Hu, we are really blind this time. All these villages have been evacuated by the archaeological team. Our visit this time is in vain."
"Not necessarily. Fatty, do you remember the Kwantung Army fortress that the villagers told us before?"
"Remember, why, Lao Hu, no one has ever found it there."
"We are in this situation now, why don't we give it a try? We spent all our money to do this, we can't just go back in such despair, right?"
"Yes, Fatty, we can't come here in vain. Even if we can't find the fortress, we still have to take a walk in the old forest here." Lin Feng interrupted at this time. He wanted to have a good adventure in this primitive forest. It's exciting just thinking about it. What's more important is that he has to kill that red-haired old rice dumpling.
"Go, go, you bourgeois, don't say bad words, we will definitely find the fortress."
