Two days after the tiger hunting team entered the mountain, news came that they had not yet had a head-to-head confrontation with the tiger.
In addition to hearing the roar of the tiger on the night of entering the mountain, the tiger disappeared without a trace after entering the mountain.
Some people speculated that the tiger was frightened by the formation of the Tiger Fighting Team and ran deeper into the mountains.
The person who delivered this news was You Mazi. He followed the tiger hunting team in the mountains to look for tigers for two days. The tiger was not found, but he hunted a few hares and pheasants.
I thought it would be a hindrance if I tied it to my body, so I sent it home down the mountain.
Anyway, his rogue image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the village chief can't help but turn a blind eye to him sneaking home.
You Mazi stayed at home all night, drank some wine, and began to talk about what he saw in the mountains...
"...There are not only living animals such as pheasants and rabbits in the deep mountains, but also medicinal materials, mushrooms, fungus, etc., which are more abundant than at the foot of the mountain..."
This word spread throughout the village through the mouth of the village chief's wife.
The deep mountains of Nanguan Mountain are inaccessible and wild boars often appear. Therefore, few people in Shenshu Village have ever set foot in the mountains and have no idea what they are like in the mountains.
You Mazi's words made the young wives and aunties in the village ready to take action.
Living on the mountain, almost every household gathers wild vegetables, digs medicinal materials and catches scorpions at the foot of the mountain in exchange for needles and thread. Over the years, the foot of the mountain has been hollowed out.
To get more harvest, deep in the mountains is a good place.
No one has set foot in that place over the years. I wonder how many treasures there are. Thinking about the medicinal materials and wild animals in the mountains makes my heart flutter.
"What are you afraid of? Didn't you say that the tiger was scared away?"
"I'm not scared away, and I'm not scared either. All the male laborers in the village are supporting them on the mountain."
"That's right, I can't sleep just thinking about those medicinal herbs and wild animals. If we don't pick them up, we will leave them to people in other villages."
…
The young wives and aunties in the village were talking a lot in front of Lao Bai's house, and they all wanted to go up the mountain to make a fortune.
"Aunt Bai, shall we go into the mountains?" The village chief's wife came forward as a representative and asked Mrs. Bai for her opinion.
There was no other way. The village chief went up to the mountain and told her that if there was anything in the village, he would leave it to Old Mrs. Bai to discuss it while he was away.
Now, the daughters-in-law want to go up the mountain together to hunt for treasure, and she can't stop them.
In addition, she also has the idea of going to the mountains, and hopes that Mrs. Bai will go with her.
With Aunt Bai sitting in charge, she is not afraid.
Who let Lao Bai’s family have a koi?
The eyes of the village chief's wife fell on Xiao Yuanbao in the yard.
"I won't stop you from going, and our family won't get involved."
Old Mrs. Bai leaned against the door and spoke forcefully.
"Aunt Zhao, Grandma Bai is not going, let's go." You Mazi's wife encouraged.
"Yes, let's go. Lao Bai's family is getting better and better now. They don't care about these things. Let's go." Another daughter-in-law said.
Xie Chuntao stood among the daughters-in-law, with disappointment on her face.
She learned that there were treasure-like products on the mountain, and she was eager to try her luck in the deep mountains and forests.
I don't want to be lucky like my sister-in-law. I can pick up wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, dig out a basket of medicinal materials and so on, and I can exchange money for it, right?
If the women of the Bai family were said to be incompatible with Nanguan Mountain before, she would not dare to go there. But now that she has a sister-in-law, she feels that Nanguan Mountain cannot overcome the women of the old Bai family.
Xie Chuntao was ready to make a move again.
"Milk, I want to go too." Xie Chuntao mumbled, not daring to look up at Old Mrs. Bai.
Just as Mrs. Bai was about to refuse, the village chief's wife said, "Mrs. Bai, let Chuntao go with you."
Xie Chuntao looked at Mrs. Bai longingly.
The eldest granddaughter-in-law has never disobeyed Mrs. Bai. This is the first time she has made a request, and it is hard to refuse.
Old Mrs. Bai thought for a while and said, "That's okay, but you can't get into too deep a place."
Xie Chuntao had a look of surprise on her face: "Milk, I don't have to."
So, under the leadership of the village chief's wife, Shenshu Village went out collectively.
The young daughters-in-law and the eldest ladies went home one after another, carrying hoes and baskets, and ran towards the mountains in a hurry.
Even some half-grown children followed into the mountains.
Xie Chuntao played with a basket and a machete, and hugged little Fuyuan before going out.
Xiaofu cupped his hands and said in a sweet voice, "Sister-in-law, dig up a lot of medicinal materials."
Xie Chuntao's heart dropped into her stomach.
After everyone left, Lao Bai's house.
"Mom, go up the mountain and hunt tigers." Xiao Fuyuan said to Zhen.
"Dad and eldest brother have already gone." Mrs. Zhen hugged little Fuyuan and chuckled.
"I'm going." Xiao Fuyuan pointed in the direction of Nanguan Mountain.
She wanted to join in the fun in the mountains.
"There are big tigers that eat people, it's not a joke." Mrs. Zhen threatened Xiao Fuyuan.
Children are ignorant and want to join in the fun when they see adults going up to the mountains to hunt tigers.
"Don't be afraid." Xiao Fuyuan's small face was full of confidence, and he clenched his fists and said, "I will fight the tiger."
Mrs. Zhen was dumbfounded.
Children are not afraid and think the tiger is the docile cat in the New Year pictures.
She didn't dare to go up the mountain, let alone let Xiao Yuanbao go up the mountain.
What a dangerous place.
"My dear, would you like to play at home with brother A Zhen?" Madam Zhen coaxed her softly.
Ah Zhen stood next to Mrs. Zhen, holding a fried cake in his hand and eating it deliciously.
Mrs. Zhen turned her head and smiled at him. I wonder if his parents feel sorry for this child.
On the poplar trees behind the house, the leaves were rustling in the wind, and the secret guards guarding him were on them. Zhen's heart was in her stomach.
"Little sister, let me play with you." A Zhen took Xiao Fuyuan's hand and came to the door to look at the ants on the ground.
After playing for a while, Xiao Yuanbao felt bored.
"Brother, go up the mountain and hunt tigers." Xiao Fuyuan held her chin in her hands and begged A Zhen.
"Do you really want to go?" A Zhen asked.
"I want to go." Xiao Fuyuan nodded.
A Zhen thought about it and decided that he was not afraid to go. Anyway, the secret guards would protect them and would never let the tiger hurt Xiao Fuyuan.
Just leaving rashly, I'm afraid the Bai family will not be able to explain.
Just as he was hesitating, Eugene Gui walked over step by step.
Eugene Gui said with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law, do you want to go up the mountain?"
Eugene Gui heard that the deep mountains were a treasure house, so he naturally wanted to hunt for them.
She didn't want to go with the young daughter-in-law from the village, let alone Xie Chuntao.
She has a better candidate, and that is the sister-in-law of the Bai family, the chief koi of Shenshu Village.
I have to admire my sister-in-law's luck. With so many people walking up and down the mountain road, my sister-in-law discovered such a thick wild ginseng and a large Ganoderma lucidum.
If I can take my sister-in-law up the mountain, I wonder what kind of treasures I can find with my sister-in-law's luck.
As long as you keep your sister-in-law close to you, you won't have to worry about finding the treasure.
"I want to go." Xiao Yuanbao nodded.
My sister-in-law has never been close to him, but she agreed readily this time, which made Eugene Gui startled.
"My sister-in-law is really willing to go with her second sister-in-law?" Yu Jingui asked cautiously.
Xiao Fuyuan tilted her head and thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Second sister-in-law, please carry me."
Eugene Gui had a black line on his face. He was not walking in the yard, but walking up the mountain. He was very tired from holding a child in his arms.
However, Eugene Gui changed his eyes and waved to Dalang Erlang.
"Da Lang Er Lang, let's go to the mountains to dig up medicinal materials. You two can go together." Eugene Gui said and stuffed a handful of pine nut candies at each of the two children.
Dalangerlang, you look at me, I look at you.
Of course they wanted to go. Many children in the village had gone, and Uncle Wu was still hunting tigers in the mountains, but they didn't dare to go for fear of Mrs. Bai getting angry.
Eugene Gui said to Erlang: "I am your mother, you don't listen to me?"
Erlang hesitated and nodded.
Eugene Gui smiled at Dalang again and said, "Your mother is already gone, why don't you go to the mountain to help your mother carry the basket."
Dalang thought for a while, couldn't resist the temptation of going up the mountain, and nodded.
Eugene Gui thought in his mind that the free labor of Dalang and Erlang should not be used in vain. The two of them held their sister-in-law one by one while helping her. It was not an easy task to go up the mountain.
Eugene Gui was very satisfied with his ability to deceive, so he went up the mountain with his four children.
