hunting in 1986

Chapter 142 Chapter 141

In the boundless Xiaoxing'an Mountains.

Wang Yuan took the bamboo basket handed over by his wife Li Yan, took out various items and began to prepare:
"It's almost 12 o'clock at noon. Come to the swallows, let's lift one tree each, and try to lift them all out before dark at night."

"Ah, I want to lift it too? But I can't."

"This is very simple. Let me teach you. Just use a deer bone drill to pull the soil a little bit, and try not to hurt any beard."

There are two ginseng trees in total, and if Wang Yuan is alone, he will not be able to carry them all before dark.

But now with the help of his wife Li Yan, it is different. The two of them lift the ginseng together, which seems to be very slow, but it is actually quite fast, and soon some roots of ginseng are exposed.

Li Yan squatted on Wang Yuan's left, and gradually gained confidence: "It's not difficult to carry the ginseng."

"That's right, that's it, but don't pursue speed, lift slowly and little by little."

"I know, by the way, Xiaoyuan, how did you find these two ginseng trees?"

"I passed by the stone and saw them at a glance."

The young couple had no lunch to eat, but the joy of discovering ginseng dispelled the hunger.

The three dogs couldn't do it anymore. They lay lazily on the grass next to them and didn't want to move. They couldn't understand why the owners didn't go home for dinner.

The sun slanted to the west a little bit, and the shadows of the trees on the ground were gradually elongated.

The temperature dropped, and the wind blowing slowly cooled down.

When it was almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Yuan and Li Yan finally carried out the two ginseng plants.

"Wow, it's so beautiful. These two ginseng legs are just like two human legs."

Li Yan was very happy, and really picked up two big ginsengs for nothing: "Xiao Yuan, how much do you think these two ginsengs are worth?"

Wang Yuan cut the bark and moss to make ginseng buns: "It's not difficult to sell for 5 yuan."

"How many!?"

Li Yan opened her mouth in shock. She knew that wild ginseng was expensive, but it shouldn't be so expensive.

"What I said is conservative. If it is sold to those fake foreign devils who have returned from abroad, I am afraid that it can be sold for 10,000+, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Wang Yuan heard from Li Shen that the Bureau of Foreign Trade exported some wild ginseng, flying dragon, venison, bear's paw, etc. to the outside world.

The domestic purchase price of Feilong is 5 yuan per piece, which is a 480 yuan increase, but the Foreign Trade Bureau sells it to foreign countries for US dollars, which is about [-] yuan per piece converted into RMB.

Horror!
Ginseng sold abroad is also a sky-high price.

Of course, Wang Yuan doesn't plan to sell it, so it's better to keep this kind of treasure in his own home.

Put the ginseng buns into the bamboo basket, and the two picked up the basket containing the mushrooms, and happily walked down the mountain.

Birdsong Mountain is more secluded.

The dappled sunlight passed through the leaves and sprinkled on the face, it was warm, and the cicadas who had been screaming for a day were still screaming, but they seemed to cover up the birds' singing.

When they were about to leave the mountain and passed a small checkpoint, Wang Yuan and his wife met Wang Shuai who was driving a walking tractor.

This small checkpoint was established not long ago, and it was set up on the main road out of the mountain. The main purpose is to prevent villagers from stealing pine trees and cutting down live trees for firewood.

Beginning this year, officials only allowed sawing dead trees, not live trees.

But dead trees are difficult to saw, and the wood is harder. The time to saw a dead tree is enough to saw three or four live trees, so people will secretly saw live trees.

This year Wang Shuai sawed a live tree, but he was neglected.

"I told you not to saw living trees, why didn't you listen!! It's from Wang Jiatun, right? What's your father's name? I've said something [-] times and I just don't listen.

Look, it's not just one tree, it's a dozen or so!You think we can't see it if you hide it under the truck..."

The middle-aged man at the checkpoint carried a rifle on his back, climbed onto the truck body, turned over all the wood underneath, and then sprayed. The atmosphere at the scene was very tense.

Wang Shuai was disfigured by the spray, with veins popping violently on his forehead, but he felt helpless.

A few villagers who came down the mountain were not in a hurry to leave, so they just sat beside and watched Wang Shuai's jokes.

But seeing Wang Yuan and Li Yan wanting to walk over, Wang Shuai yelled sullenly:
"Inspect, why don't you check their baskets? Just let them pass by like this?"

Wang Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

There were two inspectors, both carrying rifles, and the other one glanced at Wang Yuan and his wife and said with a smile, "What can two or three baskets hold?"

Wang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave Wang Shuai a dark look:
"You are a dog, how can you catch who bites whom? Comrades, this guy is from our village, named Wang Shuaier, and he usually doesn't do any good things. He eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and cheats.

You must treat him well, it is best to fine him 10 yuan! "

Several spectators burst out laughing instantly, and some spectators didn't think it was a big deal, and clamored that they should be fined 20 yuan.

Wang Shuai was impatient, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat Wang Yuan, but thought he couldn't beat the latter, so he shrank back, and could only say loudly:
"Wang Yuan, don't be bloody! We count you as the worst guy in the village!"

In fact, Wang Shuai wanted to beat up the two inspectors. He felt that the other party was trying to make things difficult for him, but he was a little afraid. If he dared to do something, the other party might really shoot.

Even if he was beaten to death, it would probably be in vain.

This era is more "reckless" than later generations, and human life is not so precious.

Wang Yuan flirted with him lazily, and took his wife Li Yan down the mountain, and soon the two disappeared on the mountain road.

Walking down the mountain on a rural road, there are stretches of sorghum fields on both sides.

Li Yan patted her chest lightly, and said: "I was really scared to death just now, if you check our two big ginseng trees, what will happen."

"It's okay to be short, whoever digs things like ginseng is the one who owns it. Of course, it's better not to publicize it. Let's keep silent and make a fortune."

Wang Yuan kicked down a short sorghum tree in the sorghum field by the roadside, so that the big sorghum would shade the sun. This kind of sorghum is destined not to grow up.

Pick up sorghum stalks, peel them with your mouth, and eat the two sections of sorghum stalks that are close to the ground.

"Is it tasty?"

"It's okay, it has a sweet smell like sugar straw, why don't you try it."

"I don't eat it."

Li Yan's mouth was full of disgust, but when Wang Yuan handed the sorghum pole in front of her, she still took a bite.

"Well, it's really sweet! Why are sorghum stalks sweet?"

"There should be sugar. The two sections close to the ground are sweet, and the rest are not sweet. Some corn stalks have a similar situation."

After turning a corner, I saw Aunt Yue standing outside her corn field from a distance, with her hands on her hips in a condescending manner. When she got closer, she found out that her corn had been broken a lot by others. , it is estimated that there are no less than a few dozen.

Aunt Yue hummed angrily: "I don't know which bastard broke my corn, eat it, and choke to death these sons of bitches."

Wang Yuan and Li Yan couldn't laugh or cry.

"Okay, don't be angry, Aunt Yue, go home, it's not worth spending money on medicine when you get angry and sick."

After a few words of persuasion, Wang Yuan saw the contents of Aunt Yue's basket clearly, and said, "Hey, have you picked so many mushrooms?"

"Yes, my children love to eat this kind of corn mushroom, saying that it tastes like meat."

Li Yan had never eaten it before, so she asked curiously: "Isn't it all black powder inside? Why do you eat it?"

"This kind of unopened food is delicious and fresh, so just wash it and cut it into sections, and fry it together with other vegetables."

Corn mushrooms are caused by smut fungus corn. If a corn grows on this thing, it will hardly grow any grains, which means that it will cause a very serious reduction in production.

It's just that no matter how severe the production reduction is, the farmers have nothing to do, they can only suffer it.

Separated at Tunzi intersection, Wang Yuan and Li Yan happily walked home, but when they came to their door, they couldn't be happier for a moment.

The lock on the courtyard door was cut, and the house door was still ajar.

Li Yan frowned: "Xiao Yuan, maybe a thief broke into our house!?"

"Damn it, who dares to come to our house to steal things?" Wang Yuan walked in with a shotgun in his hand, and then called out: "Gods, come on!"

"Wang~"

The three hounds rushed into the house angrily, and Wang Yuan followed closely behind. They searched every room, but found no one.

"Come in, swallow, there is no one at home."

Li Yan quickly walked in, picked up the quilt by herself, the clothes were thrown everywhere, the kang mat was rolled up, and the small bits and pieces in the kangqin were scattered all over the kang.

The cabinet was lifted open, and large pieces of rice inside were scattered on the ground.

The most irritating thing is that the big iron pot was pulled off the stove.

"How is this done?"

Li Yan hurriedly went to find the money she had hidden. There was a can of money hidden in the mouse hole behind the counter, and now there was nothing left.

There was also some money hidden under the Kang mat, but it was also gone.The water man also hid some under it, and when he saw it, the money was gone.

Only the money hidden in the rice cabinet is still there.

Seeing that Li Yan was about to cry, Wang Yuan couldn't help comforting him in a soft voice: "Okay, okay, if the money is gone, it will be gone."

"Wow!"

Li Yan burst into tears instantly, and the sudden burst of crying startled the three dogs:
"8 yuan! The whole 8 yuan is gone! Only the 2000 yuan in this bottle is left."

"Okay okay, don't cry."

Wang Yuan hugged Li Yan in his arms, and it took a long time to comfort her before she stopped crying. It was getting late, Wang Yuan didn't let Li Yan and the dogs stay in the house anymore, but stayed with them Went to my mother's yard.

Knowing that a thief has broken into the house, the parents and the others immediately fried the pot.

Soon many people in the village knew about it.

Wang Yuan asked his father and Wang Hu to guard the door to prevent others from entering and destroying the scene, and then rode his motorcycle to the village to call the police.

Calling the police may or may not work, but you have to try.

Two police officers in thin green clothes rode over on a horseback. After some investigation, only two different footprints were extracted.

These two footprints do not belong to anyone in Wang Yuan's family, and it is basically certain that they were left by thieves.

Police Cha recorded statements for Wang Yuan and Li Yan, and then gently advised:
"If you lose your money, you will lose it. Life will continue. Don't think too much about it."

One time, 8 yuan was stolen, which is considered a huge case in the whole city. In fact, the two police officers were also very curious about why Wang Yuan's family had so much money.

The villagers all came together to watch the excitement. After the villagers learned that Wang Yuan's family opened a chicken farm, the two policemen were relieved a little.

Then they whispered a few words to Wang Yuan's parents. Wang Yuan's hearing is very good, and he heard their conversation.

"Keep an eye on them, don't make them overwhelmed, and earn money when it's gone."

"I know, I know, Comrade Police Cha, you will definitely be able to catch those two thieves!?" The old man's eyes were bloodshot, knowing that he was more impatient than Wang Yuan when he knew that he had lost 8 yuan.

"Hey, with such a large amount of money in hand, the thief is likely to go to other places to hide, and the money will not come out until the money is spent, so... Anyway, we will do our best to solve the case."

The two police inspectors went to visit other villagers, and quickly got a lot of useful information. For example, Feng Hui's son "Feng Kang" saw two strangers and walked quickly.One fat and one short.

There are very few foreigners in Wangjiatuner, so it is basically certain that they are the two.

The old policeman is the director of the police station, and he has much more experience: "Recently, your house was empty this afternoon, and then it was stolen, so the thief knew that you were empty this afternoon.

How do they know?

If it is through stalking, then there is a high probability that it will not only be for one day, the village is only this big, and there are many children running around.There is a high probability that someone has seen them before.

Not now! "

Wang Yuan frowned, feeling that the policeman's analysis made sense: "Then comrade, what do you mean?"

"I suspect that someone in the village colluded with the thieves! The watchman is from the village, and the villagers will not be surprised to see the watchman, because he has lived in the village.

The thief probably knows that your family has opened a chicken farm, and the goal is money!Tell me, does your family have any enemies in the village? "The policeman stared at Wang Yuan, feeling that the case was about to be solved.

"Enemies?"

Wang Yuan frowned slightly, his eyes moved among the crowd watching, and finally fixed on Wang Shuai.

Wang Shuai was baring his teeth and having fun, and he didn't hide his joy at all. Just now Wang Yuan said that the people at the checkpoint really fined him 10 yuan.

That's a full 10 yuan!
I bought several catties of meat!Wang Shuaiqi's liver hurts, and his nose is almost crooked.

Now he just thinks that the heavens have spared someone and repaid reincarnation: "Yes, you really deserve it! Didn't Wang Yuan'er be smug? Now he can't get up now haha, the thief is doing justice for the sky..."

Before the last "bar" was said, he saw Wang Yuan pointing at him, then looked at him with malicious eyes, and muttered something to the two policemen, and then the two policemen Cha walked over to him.

The villagers, who were laughing and laughing at first, also sensed that something was wrong, and changed their expressions one after another to get out of the way.

Wang Shuai's complacent energy disappeared completely in an instant, replaced by the soul of the dead, dripping with cold sweat.

Then he made an action that he regretted for the rest of his life - run!

swoosh~
Wang Shuai pulled away the crowd behind him, he only had one thought in his head, he must run, and he must not be caught.

"Don't run!! Boy, stop!"

Originally, the police only wanted to question Wang Shuai, which was very normal, because what Wang Yuan told them was that Wang Shuai was the only enemy in the village, and most of the villagers were honest peasants. I don't know social people who sneak around, but Wang Shuai knows a lot of social idlers because of collecting fish.

Enemy + acquaintance with idlers in society, so that Wang Shuai's suspiciousness skyrocketed.

Of course, the policeman is very rational, and he understands that he is still just suspicious.

But as soon as Wang Shuai ran away, the situation changed instantly. It was almost confirmed that it was him! !
So the director yelled at the chaser and pulled out his pistol: "Stop! Run and shoot again!!"

"Bang~"

Finding that Wang Shuai didn't stop, the director fired a gun directly into the sky, and then aimed the gun at Wang Shuai's thigh.

Wang Shuai was so frightened that he was paralyzed. He was kicked by a Tugada and fell directly to the ground. He was then handcuffed by the police.

"It's really not me, it's really not me!? Let me go..." Wang Shuai no longer had the complacency he had just now, and tears came down his nose.

"Be honest, it's not you, why are you running away!?"

"I, I'm afraid."

"You didn't do it, what are you afraid of!? Only thieves are afraid! Get up and walk with us!"

Wang Shuai's parents rushed out, but the police still took Wang Shuai away. The old couple came to beg Wang Yuan again, but Wang Yuan couldn't laugh or cry:
"Did Wang Shuai and his accomplices get the money?"

"Certainly not, my children don't do such things."

"Then it's fine, since it's fine, it will definitely be released."

At night, after eating, Wang Yuan and Li Yan quickly turned off the lights and went to bed. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, Li Yan said slowly: "Xiao Yuan, do you think Wang Shuai stole the money with others?"

"I was confused too. If he wanted to escape, it was almost sure to be him! But there was still a voice in my heart telling me it wasn't him, because I hadn't seen him for several days."

Li Yan said slowly: "He's been stalking secretly, so he shouldn't be able to find out, right?"

"It's almost impossible. If he can see us, then we can see him. My five senses are very sharp... Well, don't think about it, let's go to sleep."

The couple quickly fell asleep.

In a hotel in the city, two men, one tall and one thin, were munching on roast chicken.

"Fatty, we haven't found anything, we have to keep looking!"

"I know, but it's not bad to get 8000 yuan this time. Oh, why didn't it happen? Did he take Dong XZ elsewhere?" The fat man frowned, his face full of annoyance.

"It's possible, let's keep an eye on him!"

"Oh, why do you have to go through all this trouble? Let's just tie him up and ask him if he's on the order. If he dares not to say anything, let's cut off a finger!" Fatty's eyes flashed. There was a glare.

The thin man was shocked, and finally he gritted his molars and said:
"Fatty, you are a stupid pig when you step on a horse! Don't you know that Wang Yuan has hundreds of younger brothers?

If something happens to him, do you think those younger brothers of his will try their best to find us?At that time, there may be no place for us in the entire Northeast. "

Fatty was dripping with cold sweat instantly.

Wang Yuan himself didn't know that his influence was so strong. In fact, he didn't think those hundreds of people were his younger brothers.

But apparently other people don't think so.

……

Early the next morning, it was drizzling.

Wang Yuan was eating pickled vegetables, artichokes and porridge at home when two police officers in raincoats came to the door again.

"Comrade, drink a bowl of porridge to warm your stomach."

"No, no, we're here to learn something from you. Have you ever seen Wang Shuai wandering around your house? It's just recently."

The director's eyes were very bright, looking directly into Wang Yuan's eyes, obviously he would not fully believe Wang Yuan's words, and wanted to make a judgment based on Wang Yuan's reaction.

After all, people are prone to tendencies and liars. Since Wang Yuan and Wang Shuai have a grudge, it is entirely possible to fabricate some unfavorable testimony against Wang Shuai.

But to my surprise——

Wang Yuan said sincerely: "No! Not once! Comrade, my five senses are naturally sharper than others. If he follows me, there is a high probability that I will find him."

"The perpetrator this time is a veteran, and someone will definitely be following him, so since your senses are so keen, who do you find more suspicious?"

"Uh, there's no one." Wang Yuan was instantly embarrassed. Doesn't this prove that his senses are not that keen.
