hunting in 1986

Chapter 21 21 Into the Mountain, Old Story

time flies.

In the past few days, Wang Yuan ran into the mountains every morning, just to see if the traps he set had caught the flying dragon, and moved a few traps halfway.

finally--

On this morning, Wang Yuan found a flying dragon caught in a clip. The plump flying dragon was pressed under the clip. The wind blew, and the feathers with brown spots swayed slightly.

"Strapped to death? No."

Wang Yuan took the flying dragon off the clip and checked that there was no wound. It seemed that the flying dragon just collapsed from hunger.

"Maybe it can be fed, try it, if you can't feed it, eat meat." Wang Yuan directly put Feilong into the space, the wheat, rice and soybeans in the space were all harvested, and some weeds grew on the land.

The green weeds are quite beautiful.

Put a handful of wheat grains near Feilong's mouth, the latter's eyes rolled, and then he ate it patter, it was very delicious.

"As long as you can eat it, lay eggs for me to eat later." Wang Yuan looked at the other traps again, and went home after finding nothing.

Uncle Man is quite superstitious, and he has to set off on the auspicious day he has chosen to enter the mountain, so apart from preparing supplies before entering the mountain, what should everyone do during the half a month.

Wang Yuan sent fish to Li Hang in the city twice. After catching wild rabbits, he sent wild rabbits once. When he returned home from the city, he took some of the rice, wheat and soybeans grown in the space. Come and take it home.

The excuse is that it was bought with the money from selling wild game.

Parents have no doubts.

Wang Yuan really had enough of the rough stick noodle pancakes, and his throat was sore from being too rough. Not only was it unpalatable, but he was also constipated, which was extremely painful.

Sometimes he was thinking—this kind of very rough and hard pancake, maybe dogs will not eat it in future generations, right?Even ordinary people mostly feed their dogs with white flour steamed buns.

What's more, some people think that buying high-end dog food for dogs and feeding them only white flour steamed buns is abusing dogs...abusing dogs...abusing...

……

It is quite happy to have flour and rice to eat, even the little girl is happy every day.

Time passed by in a flash, and it was time to release the mountain in a blink of an eye.

This morning, eight young people, including Wang Yuan and Wang Shuai, gathered at the door of Uncle Man's house. Everyone carried bamboo baskets, and many of them also carried shotguns.

The morning mist shrouded the small mountain village, and occasionally the crowing of roosters sounded.

"We will definitely find a big stick when we go into the mountain this time."

"That's right, I didn't find it last year or the year before, and I should have found it this year."

"Where is Uncle Man? Uncle Man has come out."

The 8 people were very enthusiastic, and they stood in a row at the door of the man, all wearing leggings and looking quite neat.

Uncle Man, who was wearing old gray clothes, came out and looked at the eight young men at the door, and he couldn't help becoming more confident, as if he had reproduced the glory of his ancestors.

"My family's ancestors were in the Qing Dynasty, and ginseng took the lead, and there were many planers under him. The master of the official ginseng bureau would be polite when he saw my family's ancestors. The rules of going to the mountains to collect ginseng are the most clear.

Everyone must listen to me. There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains and forests. If you don’t obey, you will suffer, so don’t blame me. "Uncle Man said slowly.

All 8 young people agreed, and many of them were the first time to release the mountain, which felt very novel.

8 young people plus Man Man, exactly 9 people, odd number.

After preparing pig's head, burning incense, paper money, etc. in advance, they placed tributes on the edge of the mountain forest, burned paper and burned incense, kowtowed and kowtowed, and then entered the mountain together.

The mountain forest was difficult to walk, and it was extremely hot. A group of 9 people walked slowly in the mountain forest and browsed through hills and hills. They took a rest for a while when they were tired, and then continued walking.

There are almost no wild ginseng near the villages, and they are going to far away places that are usually inaccessible.

In addition to Wang Yuan and Wang Shuai, there are also Wu Qian, Liu Hui, Zhao San and others in the team.

Driving in the dense forest is very hard work. In order to relieve boredom, Wu Qian begged Uncle Man to tell about his ancestors, especially some old stories from a long time ago.

Uncle Man smiled as he walked: "You guys really want to hear it, so I'll just say a few words... I've heard my grandfather talk about this for a long, long time."

"Oh!?"

Everyone was instantly aroused interest.

Uncle Man smiled and said: "My family originally lived in Jilin, and our ancestors did take the lead. Later, when the family fell down, he became a planer..."

"What is taking the lead?" Wang Shuai asked curiously.

"Taking the lead means... having a lot of money, a lot of money, and a lot of subordinates. Buying ginseng in the northeast, transporting the ginseng to the pass or selling it in the south can make a lot of money."

While driving in the mountains and forests, Uncle Man was talking, and it was rare for young people to be willing to listen to his old stories, so he was very happy.

"In the Qing Dynasty, there was an official ginseng bureau in the Northeast. Every year, a lot of ginseng was selected as a tribute to the emperor at that time. Do you know the emperor? It is equivalent to the current..."

"Cough cough, don't be like that, tell me quickly, what happened?"

"The Official Ginseng Bureau will sell some of the remaining ginseng to Lantou... That year, it was because of ginseng that something happened. The tribute to the emperor was fake, not wild ginseng but young ginseng.

At that time, this was a crime of deceiving the emperor, the emperor was so angry that he said that he dropped the jade seal..." Uncle Man spoke impassionedly, spit flying wildly.

"and then?"

There are too few entertainment activities, and a few people feel as if they have heard a storyteller, and they are gradually fascinated.

"Then the most powerful official—Jilin General "Xiu Lin" was sentenced—to be executed. Shengjing General "Fu Jun" was paralyzed by fright when he saw the seriousness of the matter. He couldn't sleep for three days and three nights. The hair is all white.

In the end, under the evil trick of the master, he quietly killed the witness, saying that the witness committed suicide in fear of crime, but the old emperor was not so easy to fool, so he was also arrested.

General Jilin and General Shengjing seem to be first-rank officials, do you know what is first-rank?You guys definitely don’t understand, it’s equivalent to the current…”

What Uncle Man said was beaming.

He has heard this story told by his grandfather many times, and he remembers it deeply. He often thinks that even the most powerful official may be killed.

"What happened to General Shengjing? Was he killed?" Liu Hui asked curiously.

"I don't know if my grandpa didn't say that, but I think I can't survive. The old emperor dropped the jade seal, and if he is so red-eyed, can he be spared?"

"Hahaha~"

Several people laughed instantly.

"Master Man, is this a story you made up yourself?"

"It's the same as the truth, I almost believed it."

"Why do you remember falling Yuxi so clearly? You saw it, Mr. Man."

Uncle Man's face turned red when he was told, and gasped, "Hey, you young people, if you don't believe me, you will be knocked down a little bit. Hurry up and hope that you can reach Diwozi today."
