Back to 80, start from gold digging

Chapter 38

"Father, you are quite knowledgeable. How many years can you tell? Is it worth decades?" Zhao Wenduo acted like a child, and he opened his mouth to ask questions that should be raised at this age.

Zhao Mingyu is still in a high state of excitement now, only this ginseng is in his eyes, why would he think about it, why his youngest asked curiously, but his expression was not surprised at all, the whole person was old and stable. a batch.

However, even if he had doubts, he would eventually find out a valid reason. This youngest child is different from ordinary children. If he is the same, how can he still climb up the mountain?

"That's for sure, this is wild ginseng, it's not easy to find." Zhao Mingyu said: "Father has lived to such an old age, and I only saw it once, and I still used half of it. How can I find ginseng?" I have heard a lot about Shen’s ways, otherwise how could I get it today.”

The more I talked, the more excited I became, and I breathed out evenly, and I didn't see a cough for a long time.

All right, just smile ten years ago, and be happier for a while, so you don't have to go back and cry tired.

Two roe deer, three rabbits, nine squirrels, one animal trap, a bundle of steel wire sheaths, and several tools, all weighing less than two hundred catties.

It is very strenuous to take these things down alone. Although there are two people, the labor force can only be counted as 1.2. It is not bad for the one who can send himself to the bottom of the mountain.

Zhao Wenduo didn't expect too much, he took a sickle to cut some trees, made a simple wooden raft, put these things on it, took a rope to tie it firmly, and lowered it down the mountain road section by section, saving effort Quite a lot.

Zhao Mingyu followed behind, but it wasn't like he didn't take anything, at least he took the wild ginseng wrapped in bark, which added up to three or two or two.

As the saying goes, wine strengthens the courage of the bear, and food increases the spirit of the poor.Usually this is short and that is short, once there is a support, it seems to be a different person.

Zhao Mingyu dug this wild ginseng in a beautiful spring, the sun was shining brightly, her waist was no longer sore, her legs were no longer hurting, and she walked with wind.

Not only is he in a beautiful mood, but he even looks at others with a colorful halo.

Zhao Wenduo took a simple wooden raft and walked along the ice on the river beach to reduce resistance.

"Third brother, stop for a moment, Dad will carry one for you—" I don't know if it's because she was embarrassed to see her fishing alone, or simply wanted to help reduce the burden, Zhao Mingyu took a few steps to catch up.

There were two roe deer placed on the top of the wooden raft, Zhao Mingyu didn't play tricks this time, and picked one up and carried it on his shoulders.

"Let me tell you, third child, this time I walked the road without feeling tired at all. Not only did I feel lighter, but I still felt energetic all over my body. Tell me, what's going on?"

What's going on, what are you talking about?If you say that most of your illness is just pretending, and you just give up five points for every point, and you are spoiling yourself, can you listen to me?
Zhao Wenduo didn't like to chat with him, so he picked up the raft and continued to move forward.I didn't realize for a while that the weight of the roe deer was missing, and the strength in the hands was still the original output. One body leaned forward with too much force, and the feet were not restrained, and rushed out two steps——

"what--"

It was not a coincidence that there happened to be a small rock half exposed in front of him, he stumbled, and 'Pa Ji' fell to the ground.

The icy surface hit his chin firmly, his eyes turned black, and there were little stars spinning around.

Zhao Mingyu was walking in front, when she heard a short exclamation from behind, followed by a 'hu dong', she turned her head quickly, and saw Zhao Wenduo lying on the ice.

"Ouch, third child, why did you fall?" Zhao Mingyu walked back, holding the roe deer on his shoulders in a daze.

Zhao Wenduo got up slowly, his chin grinned with pain and burst into tears, the palms of his hands were torn, and his knees were cold and painful.

I blame you, I blame you—

What kind of roe deer is it, I still need you!

This mountain has come down, and I'm almost home, and I fell so badly, I feel aggrieved.

His body hurts, his face hurts, and people can't scold him, so he kicked hard on the small stone that tripped him.

On the shore of the shallow water, the ice was not deep enough, and with the crackling sound of kicking with two feet, the stones half stuck in the sand and mud were pulled out with every inch of strength, and slid across the ice surface with the unabated strength.

Zhao Wenduo lowered his head, looking up reflexively at the bright yellow and yellow flashing in the corner of his eyes.

On the ice more than one meter away, there are yellow lumps the size of a baby's fist, irregular in shape, pitted, and numb.

This is--

Zhao Wenduo picked it up and put it on the palm of his hand, looked back and forth, and had a vague guess in his heart.

"What the hell is this? It's yellow and blah, scarred like it was bitten by a dog." Zhao Mingyu bent down and looked sideways.

Seeing that Zhao Wenduo was still sitting and didn't get up, and there was no expression on his face, he was afraid that she would be in a bad mood and turn against him if she had a bad temper again, and joked as if adjusting the atmosphere: "Isn't it just a fall, it's no big deal Don't people say, if you fall down and pick up a dog's head gold, who knows what will happen next, seeing a bad thing turn into a good thing in a blink of an eye, don't you think so, third—"

Zhao Wenduo raised his head, but didn't answer the conversation, but just gave him a strange look.

Zhao Mingyu's awkward smile of "hehe" froze on her face, followed her gaze and landed on the outstretched palm, the yellowish stone in the black, and in an instant, she made a bold guess, "This— —Couldn’t this be the dog’s head gold?”

Zhao Wenduo nodded: "It should be."

Zhao Mingyu: "..."

Around five o'clock, the sky was already dark.

The father and daughter took the time and waited until it was completely dark before entering the village.

The lights of several families in the yard have been extinguished, only Zhao's house is still lit with a candle, and the dim candlelight is reflected on the window, exuding twilight and warmth in this silent night.

The two of them did not say a word, and as soon as they entered the yard, they lifted up the wooden raft, went straight to the barn without making a sound, opened the wooden door, put things in with all their brains, and then turned around and came out.

The weather is cold, and there is a large natural refrigerator outside, which can freeze Shicheng overnight.Don't worry about it getting spoiled.

The women in the house were not asleep, they were careful to pay attention to the movement outside, and they caught the moment when the barn door slammed.

"It's your father and third child who are back." Li Cuizhen lit up the candle, put on her shoes and went to the ground.

Zhao Wenying and Zhao Wenlan sat on the top of the kang and both stood up straight. The youngest Zhao Wennan nodded and dozed off. When he heard this sentence, all the sleepy bugs ran away, his eyes widened.

Dad and Third Sister are back, which means there will be meat to eat soon!The three people met in the field outside, Li Cuizhen just said: "I'm back, go into the house quickly." Without asking further questions, she took a gourd ladle to lift the lid of the pot.

The water in the pot was warmed up early in the morning, just waiting for the two people who went up the mountain to come back.After running outside for a whole day in the cold weather, my body should be completely frozen, and I can warm up even after washing my hands and feet.

In the room, Zhao Wenying set up the washbasin and footbasin, watched Zhao Mingyu and Zhao Wenduo wash their mouths respectively, and sat back beside Zhao Wenlan silently, neither of them making a sound.

They were obviously very curious, but no one broke the silence first.

After all, Zhao Wennan was a child and couldn't hold back a word. He sat next to Zhao Wenduo in front of Kang Yan, and asked in a low voice: "Sister San, how are you and Dad doing today? Can we eat meat tomorrow?" I beg in my heart to have a lot of meat.

Zhao Wenduo reached out and touched her little head, pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "Well, you can eat, there are a lot of them."
