Listening to Chen Xiaobo's words, Chen Xiaobei suddenly understood, yes, he went into the mountains a few days ago and caught two live wolves. Each village guard member was given five taels of silver, which was just enough to buy a donkey.
With the betrothal gift and the donkey, Gao Hongmei can naturally marry into his family, Chen Xiaobo.
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely go when the time comes."
Seeing Chen Xiaobo leaving happily, Chen Xiaobei knew that he had stepped up his efforts and promised to distribute free fishing nets to the villagers. He has only made a dozen of them so far, so he has to seize the time to make a few more.
While he was busy making fishing nets, Big Laohei came.
Because the village protection team members all knew him, they no longer blocked him or reported him, and just let him in.
Chen Xiaobei was still a little surprised to see Big Lao Hei coming to see him.
"Master Dazhai, please sit down quickly."
Even Chen Qiaoer was no longer afraid of Big Laohei. He brought a bowl of water out of the house and placed it on the stone table.
Da Laohei looked around.
"Brother Xiaobei, it's time to add some wealth to your family."
Chen Xiaobei now lives in Chen Dachun's home. To be honest, the hardware is many times better than his original home, especially the stone benches and tables that are all presentable.
So when Da Laohei said this, Chen Xiaobei was a little confused as to what the other party meant.
"Well, it would be nice if the villagers can live a simple life."
After listening to Chen Xiaobei's words, Da Laohei laughed, reached out and took out a banknote from his arms and put it in front of Chen Xiaobei.
"Brother, thank you for leading us. This is your reward."
Chen Xiaobei glanced over and saw that it was two hundred taels of silver. He was also secretly surprised. In this era, two hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money.
This made him a little confused. A trip to Qingniu Mountain could earn so much money. Of course, if Chen Xiaobei knew that Da Laohei had earned five thousand taels, would he be shocked?
After saying a few polite words, Chen Xiaobei collected the money. Thinking about it, the rewards from going into the mountains were quite big!
Not only did they harvest silver, they also got ginseng, and they also caught a few big snakes.
After harvesting so much at once, I felt a little embarrassed. Chen Xiaobei smiled and said, "Master of the village, I won't be polite to you for the money. Later I will get you two dogwood trees from the mountain and deliver them to the village." Go, and from now on, you won’t have to run to Qingniu Mountain.”
Hearing this, Da Laohei was very happy, smiled and touched his head, "Okay, okay, then I'll thank you in advance."
At this moment, Lidong, the village guard captain, hurried in.
"Brother Xiaobei is in trouble."
Seeing Lidong's anxious look, Da Laohei quickly stood up and left.
After seeing off Big Laohei, Chen Xiaobei also turned to look at Lidong, "What's going on? You look so anxious."
"There were birds frightened on the mountain just now. I quietly walked up and took a look. There were many signs of entering the mountain from the north fork."
"There are probably dozens of people."
Chen Xiaobei knew this fork in the road.
This road is very hidden. From the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, about three or four miles away, there is a fork road diagonally to the north. This fork road leads directly to the small river.
In other words, if you want to enter the mountain from this road, you must cross the river.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for outsiders to know this road.
In other words, there are many roads into the mountains, and this road is the most difficult to take. Why choose this one?
"Brother Xiaobei, how about I take someone into the mountain to have a look?" Lidong began to ask for his opinion.
Chen Xiaobei shook his head slightly, "Brother Lidong, you have to understand that Qingniu Mountain is not mine, yours, or our Hetou Village, so if we go, of course others can go too."
After hearing what he said, Cui Hongyu next to him burst into laughter.
This is the first time Chen Xiaobei has said this.
"Okay, then I won't go." Lidong felt a little disappointed.
He had no choice but to change the topic and took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to Chen Xiaobei, "This is the silver from selling ginseng. You can use it first. It costs a lot to build a house."
Chen Xiaobei smiled, "No need for the money, thank you, thank you very much."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention. The mention of ginseng in Lidong made Chen Xiaobei more cautious. The last time he entered Hulu Valley, he found traces of ginseng being poached.
After all, I haven't been to Calabash Valley for many days, so I have to go and see what's going on.
"Brother Lidong, go organize a few people and let's go to Hulu Valley."
Just when he was about to enter the mountain, a group of people had already arrived at the mountain temple.
It was Sun Jian, Sun Qing and others.
This time there were several special people who followed Sun Jian into the mountains.
One of them was Miao Qingfeng. Miao Qingfeng was a popular figure in front of the Imperial Master. His arrival showed his recognition and importance to Sun Jian.
Although Sun Jian had a road map, one point was not resolved, and that was the specific location of the dragon vein.
Not only do you have to find the dragon veins, but you also have to select the dragon eyes and dragon heads. Only after confirming them one by one can you decide on the next move.
In other words, drawing the route map to Qingniu Mountain is only completing the foundation of the foundation and completing the first step.
Next to Miao Qingfeng was an old man in Taoist robes. This old man had white beard and hair, and was thin and slender. He looked a bit like an immortal. Miao Qingfeng also respected him very much. He would laugh when he couldn't walk very far. The escort carefully asked, "Taoist Master, do you want to take a rest before we go?"
The old man chuckled and stroked his gray beard, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I, Hongyun, can still bear this little road."
Until noon, Taoist Priest Hongyun was fine. Miao Qingfeng couldn't stand it anymore. He was used to being pampered, so he had never suffered such a crime.
Seeing him panting, Sun Jian also understood and shouted to the men leading the way, "It's getting late. Let's find a place to rest. Let's have a bite before leaving."
Taking advantage of the meal time, Sun Jian walked up to Miao Qingfeng and said with a smile, "Steward Miao, we are carrying so much equipment up the mountain. It's too tiring for us to go up the mountain. Why don't we leave some equipment behind and you can bring a few people to watch here. I will accompany the Taoist priest and continue moving forward."
Miao Qingfeng really wanted to stay, but looking at Hongyun, he was a little hesitant.
The order given to him by the Imperial Master before coming here was to stay with Taoist Priest Hongyun and never leave him.
After all, Taoist Priest Hongyun has lived for so many years and has a very clear view of things. He chuckled and said, "What Sun Daxia said makes sense. I just went to the top of the mountain to take a look at the dragon veins. There is no need for such labor and effort."
Well, since Taoist Master Hongyun gave Po, the donkey has to get off.
Miao Qingfeng turned to look at Sun Jian, "You protect the Taoist priest and go in front. I will lead them and follow with their equipment."
This not only protects one's face but also saves energy.
After eating and drinking, Sun Jian continued to walk forward with Taoist Hongyun.
There is a road map and there is no need to worry about going the wrong way, so the speed naturally increases.
