After they had finished their polite greetings, Lidong approached Chen Xiaobei and whispered, "I told Dayong just now that he knows the purpose of our coming."
Chen Xiaobei nodded approvingly. Lidong's handling method was very flexible and clever in maintaining his face in front of Da Laohei and letting Chen Dayong know the truth.
Now that both parties have received favors, the next thing is easier to do, which is to get down the mountain quickly.
It is said that returning home is like an arrow. Just after noon, everyone rushed to the mountain temple. When they arrived at the mountain temple, Chen Xiaobei suddenly didn't want to leave.
He wanted to go to Calabash Valley to see again, but there were too many people, not to mention Da Laohei.
Fortunately, Li Dong watched his words and seemed to understand his thoughts. While everyone was eating, he leaned close to Chen Xiaobei and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go to Hulu Valley?"
Chen Xiaobei nodded slightly, "Yes, I haven't been there for a long time, I have to take a look."
Lidong chuckled, "This is a simple matter."
"Just do this and that for a while."
Chen Xiaobei nodded and quietly said hello to village guard Chen Xiaobo, asking him to stay with him.
After eating, drinking, and taking a simple rest, Lidong called on everyone to continue on their way.
Chen Xiaobei suddenly covered his stomach and said, "Oh, I suddenly have a stomachache."
Lidong pretended to be helpless, "Then let's leave later."
Chen Xiaobei waved his hand, "No, no, you go first, and I will catch up later. Otherwise, the villagers will be in a hurry."
Chen Xiaobo took the opportunity to stand up and said, "I'll stay with Xiaobei. Brothers, you can go first."
Seeing this scene, Da Laohei laughed. It was clear that he was acting for everyone to see. He didn't know what Chen Xiaobei was going to do. But having said that, whatever Chen Xiaobei did had nothing to do with him. Whatever he asked for, others would do it. Perfectly done.
Of course, at the beginning of winter, we got off the donkey along the slope and told everyone to go back quickly.
After everyone had gone away, Chen Xiaobei and Chen Xiaobo rushed to Calabash Valley.
After walking around Hulu Valley, Chen Xiaobei felt relieved. Everything was as usual. The mark he left was not moved at all, which meant that no one had come into Hulu Valley for a long time.
"Brother Xiaobei, do you want to pick some more and take them back?" Chen Xiaobo was obviously looking forward to it.
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly had a thought. These are not from his own family. It is normal for anyone to pick them. Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Ah, if you need, just take a few back. I won't pick them if I still have them at home."
After saying that, Chen Xiaobei found a stone to lean on, closed his eyes and pretended to take a nap.
With Chen Xiaobei's permission, Chen Xiaobo was overjoyed. He walked around a few times and finally dug up two ginseng trees and picked two Ganoderma lucidum plants.
Chen Xiaobei was very pleased to see his performance.
Not greedy.
This is the most valuable quality.
Chen Xiaobei suddenly remembered what Carpenter Zhang had entrusted him with. As he walked down the mountain, he asked Chen Xiaobo, "Brother, Carpenter Zhang is recruiting two apprentices. Xiaowen has already gone to study. Do you want to go with him?"
Chen Xiaobo looked very surprised when he heard this, "No way, how can Xiaowen have the money to pay for tuition!"
Chen Xiaobei burst out laughing when he heard this. It seemed that everyone in the village knew that Carpenter Zhang was charging tuition.
No, I just don’t know.
One can imagine how miserable Chen Xiaobei was who was just waiting to die.
Don't know about such common things.
As soon as Chen Xiaobei entered the house, Cui Hongyu greeted him anxiously, "Husband, what's wrong with you? I heard that I have a stomachache."
Chen Xiaobei smiled slyly, "That's a lie. I deliberately left behind and went around the Hulu Valley."
Cui Hongyu glared at him angrily, "How did you learn to lie?"
Chen Xiaobei suddenly felt a strong love, which was Cui Hongyu's concern for him. The most sincere concern from the bottom of my heart.
Chen Xiaobei reached out and took Cui Hongyu into his arms, and did not speak for a long time.
Finally, it was Chen Qiaoer who broke the tranquility.
She came up with a bowl of water and said, "Brother, please drink some water."
While drinking water, Chen Cui Hongyu told Chen Xiaobei that no one was arranged to go into the mountain to pick fruits today.
Chen Xiaobei instantly understood what Cui Hongyu meant. Cui Hongyu was ready to go into the mountains to look for him at any time.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go into the mountains to pick it early tomorrow morning. I'll go to the county town to deliver it to Old Wu first, and then I can go to Xiaojia Town in time."
"By the way, tell me, did the delivery go smoothly today?"
Cui Hongyu nodded, "Everything went well. Sister Liu sent it to me."
Chen Xiaobei was still a little surprised. The change of this title showed that the relationship between the two had developed significantly.
Thinking about it, there is no harm in building a good relationship with Liu Rumei.
…
At this time, Da Laohei also brought Yang Chun and others back to Centipede Ridge.
As soon as he entered the Juyi Hall, Da Laohei shouted anxiously, "Hurry up, hurry up and prepare the banquet, but I'm starving to death."
But this time, Da Laohei asked someone to set up a table in his room, and he wanted to discuss it alone with Yang Chun, Xiong Fei, Hou Liu and others.
Of course, it doesn't matter to these little minions, as long as they have their own food and drink.
After the banquet was placed, Da Laohei drank two glasses of wine before looking at a few people and asked, "Tell me where is the best place for us to start."
Xiong Fei chuckled, "Does that need to be said? Of course it is an iron cable bridge. Even if it is covered with wooden planks, the iron cable bridge is not so easy to survive. Guard the bridge head and kill one one, or two pairs."
Yang Chun shook his head, "Although the Big Brother Iron Chain Bridge is vulnerable and difficult to attack, I don't think it is the best choice."
"Oh, what do you mean?" Da Laohei was a little confused.
Yang Chun took a sip of wine, looked at the people present, and slowly said, "Brother, the chain bridge is too close to the top of the mountain. It takes a day to walk to get there."
"I'm worried that Liu Yuanwu won't go this far at all."
As soon as Yang Chun said these words, Da Laohei was stunned for a while, and then he grinned, "Well, Brother Yang is right. What if Liu Yuanwu is a playboy and just walks around in the mountains? Just burn incense at the mountain temple."
Yang Chun shook his head, "That's not the case. Brother, do you remember that steep slope? It's almost straight up and down, and you have to tie a rope on that downhill slope."
"Then why don't you remember? That slope is like a knife cutting it."
Yang Chun nodded, "We will ambush there."
"No matter who you are, you have to follow the rope down when you get there."
"So if we just shoot a few arrows secretly, won't we solve the problem?"
Upon hearing Yang Chun's plan, Big Hei slapped the table, making Hou Liuyi tremble.
"Great, this is a great idea."
"No matter how powerful Liu Yuanwu is, he still has to slide down the rope. When he is hanging in the air, it is easier to kill him than to kill a chicken."
After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on and let's get drunk."
