The next morning, Ye Xianxian and Dr. Viper Xiao Zhang still didn't come back.
After breakfast, Godfather Wen suggested taking mahjong for a walk to the next village to "meet" the dogs.
When he said these words, he kept winking at Professor Ye Rongguang. Only the two of them understood that while doing this experiment, they also did Wang Ke's ideological work, agreed and assisted them in capturing the golden cobra alive in the eagle's mouth.
When Wang Ke heard this, he immediately took out four more mahjong pieces from the shell box and asked the two professors to take two pieces each.
After leaving the village, where to go?
Longquanzhuang is already on the edge of the Western Mountains, and further west are basically mountains. Turning around and heading north, you can reach Zijingguan Pass.
The mountain road is not easy to walk in the first place. Although there is a magic kitchen warehouse in the northwest of Longquanzhuang, there are not many households. Only south or east.
To the south, around the elephant's legs, there is a Mugezhuang, but it is sparsely populated. To the east, Dingjiagou and Beishangen, which are closer, have few households and the roads are not easy to walk.
It should be said that there are dogs in every village, but there are no dogs in Longquanzhuang. Wang Ke suddenly remembered that the last time he went to the regiment headquarters, he went to the small restaurant with Qin Hu and Liu Liyong. He had encountered several dogs, especially the wailing big wolf dog in the small restaurant, but it was too far away. The two old professors I definitely can't stand it.
There are also many villages near Longquanzhuang, such as Nandadi Village, Jinlongzhuang Village, Xinpanshi Village, Tainingsi Village, Taipingyu Village, Dongmoao Village, Sanjianyu Village, Baishigang Village, Baoziyu Village, Taihezhuang Village, Longlihua Village, Huabei Village, Xiaoxin Village and Wudaohe Village are adjacent to each other.
Note that the adjacent ones mentioned here are also nearly ten kilometers away. They all belong to Xiling Town.
The local villagers have no concept of distance.
At that time, the only bigger and closer ones were North Can Village or South Dadi. If you don’t want to take the mountain road, then go to Southern Dadi!
Wang Ke took the map and showed it to the two professors. As soon as they left, the three of them put their water bottles on their backs and set off.
To go to Nan Dadi, you can walk along the road for a while. After walking for more than an hour, we still haven’t arrived at Southern Land. At that time, Xishan was far less prosperous than it is now. To be honest, the two professors were getting more and more annoyed and tired as they walked. If they had known it was so far away, they might as well lie down and rest at home!
Fortunately for Professor Ye Rongguang, he runs to the roadside from time to time and looks at the trees. Occasionally he will stop to look at a bird when he sees one.
Professor Wen obviously didn't care much about this. His interest was not in the mountains and rivers, so he sighed more and more as he walked. "Xiao Wang Ke, how far is it?"
"It should be almost there. It will be almost done after a while of walking." Wang Ke said. If it were him, he might be able to walk for another half hour, but with two professors beside him, he could only deal with it vaguely.
At this time, from time to time, fellow villagers riding small bicycles passed by in twos and threes. Some carry vegetables, and some carry grain. Is there a market today? If the two professors weren't around, Wang Ke would definitely have gotten a ride if he were alone. But right now, we can only operate No. 11, which relies entirely on "ground running".
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell, bell bell," finally a small gear bicycle stopped beside me. "Platoon Leader Wang!" The young woman on the bicycle got out of the car and greeted her enthusiastically.
There are bells on the bicycle, which is considered relatively advanced. Wang Ke looked familiar. He knew he was from Longquanzhuang, but he couldn't remember where they had met.
"Platoon Leader Wang, are you going to the market too?"
"You are..." Wang Ke replied with a smile, but he didn't know his name.
"I am the one who was chased and bitten by a mad dog in front of Muling last time!" The young woman introduced herself.
"Oh - I remember, are you going to the market too?" Wang Ke finally recognized the person in front of him, but couldn't call him by name.
"Yes, there is a fair in Nan Da Di today, and I also want to buy two sheep. How about I take you with me?" The young woman greeted her enthusiastically. Last time, thanks to Wang Ke and Wang Mingsheng, they saved her at the critical moment. The mad dog must be defeated, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Thank you, thank you, no need. There are three of us. Go quickly. We will be there in a moment." Wang Ke pointed at the two professors next to him and quickly extended his hand to signal.
"Okay, I'll leave first." The young woman got on the car and left first. Wang Ke thought to himself, it would be fine if there was a tractor, but there wasn't one. Only now do I know the benefits of Ye Xianqian. If she were here, she would definitely have reached the southern land as soon as she stepped on the accelerator.
Finally, I saw the house on the roadside from a distance and arrived at the southern land.
There are more and more people, all going to the market. There is a market here on May 9th. When the market day comes, the southern land suddenly becomes lively. People who came to sell things and people who came to buy things immediately turned this place into a bustling market town.
The population of Nandadi Village is only slightly larger than that of Longquanzhuang. These used to belong to Longhua Township and had less than 500 households. Close to the national highway, go around several mountains to the east and arrive at Lianggezhuang. You can see the towering Huagai Mountain in the distance. To the south is a Huaguo Mountain, which is called Huaguo Mountain by the locals. To the north and east, you can see the Huagai Mountain. Tailing.
As soon as they arrived at Nan Da Di, the two professors immediately got into the crowd and went to the market. They had already looked forward to their mission here.
The so-called market is on the road at the head of the village. There are scattered vendors selling everything on both sides, including elm bark and elm bark powder.
I don’t know when, I got separated from Wang Ke.
Going to the market in Xishan is also a kind of enjoyment. After a while, Ye Rongguang had two more old hens in his hands. But Professor Wen had two more handfuls of waxy tobacco leaves in his hand.
Wang Ke had no interest in buying anything at all. He was trapped in the flow of people from west to east. There was really nothing worth buying on both sides of the road. After walking back and forth twice, he finally bought two plastic buckets and filled two of them. There is 10 kilograms of sorghum braised brewed by farmers.
Hahaha, this stuff is good. It just so happens that my godfather Professor Wen and Uncle Ye also like it, so they can enjoy it for a while.
While I was squatting there and paying, I was lightly poked in the shoulder.
"Uncle Wen, don't worry about it. I have plenty of money." Wang Ke didn't look back. He thought the two professors were competing to pay.
"Platoon Commander Wang, are you buying a drink?" A crisp voice sounded from behind.
ah? When he heard that it was a woman, Wang Ke quickly turned around, saw it, and immediately smiled. Who? Gao Min, the cook squad leader of the third company of the interference regiment. At this time, she was wearing a beanie hat and looking at Wang Ke and the two wine barrels under her belly with a smile.
"Monitor Gao, are you here to go to the market?"
"Yes! Platoon Commander Wang, why did you buy so much wine?"
"Hey, no more, no more, just drink as much as you want, just two meals."
"Ah, you like drinking?"
"I...it's not all I drink, it's mainly for..."
When Gao Min asked, Wang Ke immediately blushed. He bought ten pounds at a time, what a drunkard! Now that I was caught red-handed, I was really covered in words and couldn’t explain clearly.
"Real men love to drink." Two blushes flew on Gao Min's face. In the eyes of her and the female soldiers of the third company, Wang Ke was a real hero.
Wang Ke opened his eyes wide, but something even more surprising was yet to come.
"Platoon Commander Wang, you don't need to buy it. I'll get you some good wine. Is thirty kilograms enough?"
"What? You help me get thirty kilograms, and you make wine?" Wang Ke thought to himself, this girl is crazy, she must be trying to buy cheap wine somewhere. "You're right. Although I didn't make it, I will definitely help you get thirty pounds. Let's go to our company."
"No, no, no, no, we have something to do today." Wang Ke saw that Gao Min was serious, and it seemed that their company really had liquor. The wine has been paid for now, and there is no way to refund it if you don't want it.
"You guys? What's the matter? You're not here specifically to buy wine at the market?" Upon hearing this, Gao Min explained that Wang Ke was not a person, but what about people?
Wang Ke shook his head and asked: "Monitor Gao, did you come to the market alone?"
Gao Min babbled and gestured to the distance. "There's another one, buying groceries there."
Wang Ke raised his hand and waved to the distance. The female soldier also waved here and continued to serve food.
"Platoon Leader Wang, you're not here to go to the market, so why are you here in Nandi?" It seemed that Gao Min was determined and wanted to take Wang Ke back to the barracks.
"We..." Wang Ke wanted to answer that we were doing experiments, but he couldn't say these words. He was already very abrupt in front of Ye Rongguang and Godfather Wen, and now he didn't want the female soldier Gao Min to know.
"We're looking for some dogs."
"Are you looking for a dog? Do you want to buy a dog? There are some in the southern land, but I didn't see any today." Gao Min said, looking around. There were really no dogs in the small market. Meet Wang Ke’s companions.
"It's not about buying a dog, but..." Wang Ke was talking when he saw Professor Ye Rongguang and Godfather Wen walking towards here carrying two chickens and tobacco leaves from a distance. "Uncle Ye, Godfather Wen, I'm here!"
Wang Ke shouted, just in time to save the siege.
"Hello, professor!" When the two came to the front, Gao Min immediately stood up and saluted the two professors.
Today was the third time they met. The two professors naturally recognized the female monitor in front of them.
"Haha, cooking squad leader." Godfather Wen had an old hen in one hand and couldn't say hello. He just raised it upwards, and the old hen in his hand immediately made a "clucking" sound.
"Professor, you are here to buy chickens, do you want to improve the food?" Gao Min seemed to suddenly realize it. Now looking at the two wine barrels at Wang Ke's feet, he understood why Wang Ke bought wine, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with looking for a dog. .
"Yes, come with us back to Longquanzhuang at noon." Professor Ye Rongguang was the first to send the invitation, completely forgetting the purpose of this trip.
"Two professors, I just heard Platoon Leader Wang say, how many more dogs are you looking for?" Gao Min did not answer Ye Rongguang's words, but brought the topic back to dogs.
"Ah, yes, yes." Godfather Wen suddenly realized that the three of them came to Nan Dadi not to go to the market, but to verify mahjong and to do Wang Ke's ideological work.
Godfather Wen reacted and Ye Rongguang also woke up. "Wang Ke, have you found the dog?"
"Report to Uncle Ye, nothing has been found so far."
"Platoon Leader Wang, are you really looking for a dog?" Gao Min couldn't help it at this time. The three big men actually walked so far, not to go to the market, but to look for a dog. But since I was looking for a dog, I bought so many high-end things.
You are right, tobacco, alcohol and old hens were indeed high-end things in that era.
"Yes, yes, cooking squad leader, do you know where there are dogs?" Ye Rongguang asked immediately after hearing what Gao Min said.
Gao Min nodded and waved to another female soldier in the distance. Then he turned around and said, "There used to be a few dogs in this southern land, but we didn't find any today. Maybe there were too many people going to the market and they were scared." Hiding.”
No way? I've never heard of such a reason.
Seeing the suspicious looks on the two professors' faces, Gao Min added, "But I know where there are dogs, at least two. You can see them when you go."
"Where?" The most anxious person was Wang Ke, who was a little confused at first when he saw Gao Min not opening the pot and which pot to pick up, but now he was a little grateful.
"Our regiment!" Gao Min said this. The female soldier who was accompanying him had already finished buying groceries and came over pushing a bicycle carrying two large baskets. In the Third Company of Female Soldiers, weak little girls are treated like men.
"You might as well follow us and join our group. I'm sure you won't regret it."
Don't just keep your head down and chase your dreams, occasionally look up at the stars and let yourself take a nap.
But the interference group? Too far.
