Mountain people's sister flowers

Chapter 28 Not a Potato
"Ow...Ow..."

As if responding to Du Zhong’s screams, the pack of wolves also howled one after another, especially the hungry wolves that pounced on Du Zhong’s body, barking with all their might, opening their bloody mouths exaggeratedly, every howl It was as if he wanted to swallow the whole head of Eucommia in his stomach.

Seeing the hungry wolf's white teeth and scarlet tongue dangling in front of his eyes, and smelling the bloody breath emanating from the wolf's mouth, Eucommia went crazy, so he closed his eyes and continued to tear his heart Lung-cracking screams:
"No! Don't eat me! Don't eat me! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

I don't know how long it took, but I still didn't feel the pain of being eaten by hungry wolves. Eucommia finally recovered from the panic.

He slowly opened his eyes, only to realize that the pack of wolves had disappeared without a trace, and Ye Shanghan and Pang Dahai even squatted in the shade of a tree leisurely, smoking, throwing themselves at him from time to time. Come playful look.

Secretly wiped away the old tears of grievance, Du Zhong, who managed not to be scared out of his wits, dragged his exhausted body to get up, and realized that his behavior just now was too shameful, his old face was slightly red, and he was about to run away in despair.

At the end, in order to pick up some broken face, he couldn't hold back and forced himself to stare at Ye Shanghan viciously, and said falteringly: "Ye Shanghan, you...you wait for me, I will ...I won't let you go..."

"and many more!"

Without waiting for Du Zhong to turn around, Ye Shanghan suddenly stood up, pinched out the cigarette butt between his fingers, and said with a half-smile: "Du Zhong, didn't you come to grab the matsutake? You haven't got any benefit at the moment, are you going to leave?" ?”

Du Zhong gritted his teeth: "You...what do you want?"

"Not so much!"

Ye Shanghan shrugged indifferently, and said, "Since you are so interested in matsutake, please help me move them to my yard! Hehe..."

Du Zhong was so angry that his lungs were going to explode, and with tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes, he roared hoarsely: "Ye Shanghan, you are fucking dreaming..."

"Ow..."

Before Eucommia finished speaking, there was another howling of wolves in the forest.

"..."

Finally, he had a good understanding of what is meant by "the eagle pecks the eye of the eagle". In desperation, Eucommia could only grit his teeth and carry the sack on his shoulder.

Ye Shanghan discovered that the place where Matsutake is located is on the outskirts of the Yunwu Mountains. From this pine forest to Kusang Village, it takes at least two hours to go back and forth. Eucommia only eats and transports during the day, and it still only moves half of it when it gets dark. It's just a sack.

He thought, it's already night, Ye Shanghan should let him go, right?

Unexpectedly, Ye Shanghan, who wandered around the forest with Pang Haihai, came back with a few pheasants and hares, and Pang Haihai set up a bonfire, obviously intending to barbecue.

"Du Zhong, don't rest tonight, you can carry a few more bags down the mountain, and you can have dinner when you come back, and then continue to move, hehe!"

Du Zhong, who was panting from exhaustion and his legs were weak, heard Ye Shanghan say this, so he almost didn't get angry.

Sitting down under the pine tree, Du Zhong boldly said: "Ye Shanghan, you and the fat man are having a good time today, right? I'm exhausted going up and down the mountain, you two are either sleeping on the tree or Hunting in the forest! I'm quitting, I want to fight or kill whatever I want..."

"Ouch..."

Once again, before Du Zhong could finish his words, the ear-piercing howling of wolves sounded again in the dark dense forest.

Moreover, as if to warn Du Zhong, with the howling of wolves, more than a dozen pairs of green wolf eyes lit up in the dark forest, especially the wolf king showed his figure intentionally or unintentionally , just behind Eucommia, tearing his teeth and grinning, revealing his fierce look.

"I...I'll move, can't I move?"

Subconsciously shrinking his neck, Du Zhong didn't dare to complain any more, he didn't even care to take a few breaths, he hurriedly got up from the ground again, gritted his teeth and continued to carry the matsutake down the mountain.

What made Du Zhong unbearable the most but he could only grit his teeth to bear it was that one time, Ye Shanghan even ordered him to bring some white wine from his home to the mountain by the way, and watched Ye Shanghan and Pang Dahai sitting around the bonfire go crazy again. Drinking and eating meat, he finally fell contentedly on the ground and fell asleep, snoring like thunder, Du Zhong really wanted to cry.

At this time, he only felt that his intestines were turning green. If he had known that snatching matsutake would cause such a big deal, he wouldn't dare to put a knife on his neck!
Sleepless all day and night, until the next afternoon at dusk, Eucommia, whose legs were sore and exhausted, finally carried all the matsutake to the yard of Ye Shanghan's house.

Kusang Village, which is as big as a palm, has traffic jams, but the news is well-informed. It only takes a blink of an eye for parents to transmit from the village head to the village tail, which is comparable to a [-]-megabit optical fiber.

Is it not new that Eucommia, who has always disliked Ye Shanghan, the adoptive son of the Mu family, was willing to work as a coolie for Ye Shanghan because of his sister?Of course, what made more than 30 households and hundreds of people in the village talk about it was the matsutake piled up like a mountain in the yard of Ye Shanghan's house.Who would have thought that the nerd who was called a "soft guy" since he was a child had just rolled back to Kusang Village in despair, and found such a shocking wealth in the mountains on his back?

How much a thousand catties of matsutake can be sold depends on the actual selling price, but the villagers estimate that it will be worth hundreds of thousands.

With so much money, not to mention that people in Kusang Village have never seen it before, they don’t even dare to think about it. After all, Kusang Village is too backward, and the annual per capita income is even less than [-]. The money that a single villager in Kusang Village can earn for decades!

As the saying goes, if you have money, you will have relatives in the mountains, but if you have no money, no one will ask you in the city. Because of the existence of these matsutake, the attitude of the villagers towards Ye Shanghan immediately changed significantly.

In addition, Ye Shanghan knew Xiang Wanyi, a big man whose identity was obsessed, and easily brought down the bully village head Qian Bawan who had poisoned Kusang Village for many years, which further showed his extraordinaryness.

Therefore, on this day, most of the villagers came to Ye Shanghan's house with native chickens, ducks, and fresh vegetables as guests. This frightened Hibiscus, who was used to living a secluded life, and was of course very happy. After all, Ye Shanghan made the Mu family, which had been neglected for more than two decades, become the focus and star of Kusang Village, even surpassing the Qian family that was still standing a few days ago.

However, when a villager vaguely asked about the place where the matsutake was picked, Mu Jin hesitated. With hesitation in her beautiful eyes, she hurriedly cast a consultative look at Ye Shanghan, who was always entertaining the villagers with a smile.

Ye Shanghan didn't hide it. After all, he had already picked all the matsutake in the pine forest, and it didn't matter to tell the villagers. Moreover, the things that grow in the mountains don't belong to any individual.However, after all, the pine forest is located in the Yunwu Mountains where all kinds of fierce beasts are rampant. Therefore, after Ye Shanghan told everyone the location, he couldn't help but exhort:
"Grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters, everyone should be aware of the horror of Yunwu Mountain. In my impression, several villagers in our village disappeared completely after entering Yunwu Mountain. So, if there is no With complete preparation and absolute certainty, I don’t recommend that everyone go on an adventure in the mountains. Of course, if I have nothing to do at ordinary times, if everyone is willing, I can personally lead the way and lead you up the mountain..."

Seeing that Ye Shanghan was so bold, he directly revealed the place where the matsutake grows and did not forget to remind everyone to pay attention to safety. Suddenly, the wooden courtyard full of villagers became more harmonious, with laughter and laughter.

Invisibly, Ye Shanghan has built up a good reputation in Kusang Village.

Everyone chatted, talked and laughed, and before they knew it, night fell again, the villagers dispersed one after another, and the Mu family regained its former tranquility.

The next morning, the sky was slightly bright, and Pang Dahai, who had agreed with Ye Shanghan last night, had already driven his own agricultural tricycle to the gate of Ye Shanghan's courtyard. After a day and two nights of rest, Pang Dahai had recovered to his original state.

Ye Shanghan, who had been lying in the courtyard watching the matsutake all night, immediately regained his spirits. After a quick wash, he and Pang Dahai hurriedly moved the bulging sacks one after another onto the tricycle.

The loading capacity of the tricycle was very limited. Till noon, Ye Typhoid and Pang Haihai, who were sweating profusely, ran five times back and forth before transporting 1000 kilograms of matsutake to the side of the road at the foot of Duanhun Slope. superior.

The highway connecting Kangcheng and Jiancheng is called "Healthy Highway". Car accidents happen every year.

Small and medium-sized vehicles such as passenger cars and tractors can still go on the road, but large trucks such as containers can only detour and travel on provincial highways farther away.

The blockage of traffic not only makes dozens of villages under the jurisdiction of Qingshan Town, including Kusang Village, impoverished and backward for generations, but also affects the urban development of Kangcheng, Jiancheng and other southwestern regions. The root of all this is geography Environment, after all, there are many mountains and hills in the southwest region, and the mountain situation is changeable. If you want to build roads, you have to face huge projects such as building bridges and digging caves, which is far less convenient than the great plains in the southeast and north.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first! One day, I will overthrow Duanhun Slope and the healthy highway in front of me, and then build a highway from Kusang Village to Kangcheng, Jiancheng, and even the provincial capital..."

Once again experiencing all kinds of embarrassment caused by traffic congestion, and seeing that Hibiscus, who had been guarding matsutake against the sun on the side of the road, had already been sweating profusely from the scorching sun, and his cheeks were smoky, Ye Shanghan immediately made up his mind secretly.

After finally getting all the matsutakes to the side of the road, Ye Shanghan, Pang Dahai, and Mu Jin looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

After waiting for about half an hour, a medium-sized truck arranged by Xiang Wanyi, whom Ye Shanghan had already contacted last night, finally rushed over.After all, Ye Shanghan had too many matsutake to sell in Cannes, and Pang Dahai's dilapidated second-hand tricycle was useless at all.As for the "Qingshan Town" which is a little closer to Kusang Village, although there is a trading market, it obviously can't consume so much matsutake, and Ye Shanghan can only look far away.

The pickup truck stopped, and a man in a suit and leather shoes was obviously dissatisfied with the bumpy road. After he got off the bus and cursed, he even asked Ye Shanghan and the others in an impatient tone: "I am sent by Miss Xiang. My surname is Jiang. Which of you is Ye Typhoid?"

"I am."

When Ye Shanghan was on the phone with Xiang Wanyi last night, he had already heard from Xiang Wanyi that the man in suit and leather shoes in front of him was called "Jiang Caijun".

So, quickly, he said politely with a smile on his face: "Brother Jiang, I really troubled you this time. If you and sister Yi helped arrange the truck to come, I don't know what to do It's over!"

"Brother Jiang? I don't like this name, Xiaoye, you should call me Manager Jiang."

Even though Ye Shanghan was all smiles and polite, Jiang Caijun was dissatisfied with being sent to pick up a countryman in such an unseemly corner of the mountain, so he interrupted Ye Shanghan's words in a flat tone.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't even look straight at Ye Shanghan, Hibiscus and Fat Hai, who were dressed in the same old clothes and were disgraced from carrying matsutake.

Jiang Caijun felt even more depressed when his eyes fell on the dozen or so piles of sacks piled up behind Ye Shanghan. He really couldn't understand how the glittering golden lady of the Xiang family got involved with an unattractive countryman.

The mood became more and more depressed, so he said again: "Xiaoye, Miss Xiang just arranged for me to send you a car. As for the manual work of loading and loading the car, you can only rely on yourself. By the way, those sacks behind you It’s packed with potatoes, right? It looks heavy, and I don’t know if it can be sold after exhausting transport to Cannes!”

Sensing the disdain in Jiang Caijun's eyes and the impatience in his words, Ye Shanghan didn't mind at all. He and Jiang Caijun had no friendship at all. His politeness to Jiang Caijun was only a manifestation of his own self-cultivation and had nothing to do with Flatter, and there is no need to flatter.

After all, he didn't ask Xiang Wanyi to send a car for nothing, and he didn't ask Xiang Wanyi and the driver of the minivan to do nothing for nothing. Later, he would deduct the fare from the money he sold the bluegrass "Seven Fairies".

Furthermore, Jiang Caijun was not the driver of the pickup truck, but Xiang Wanyi insisted on arranging to come over to help. The real driver was still skillfully reversing the car.

With a teasing smile, Ye Shanghan slightly shook his head and said, "It's not potatoes, it's matsutake!"

His pupils shrank suddenly, and Jiang Caijun couldn't help exclaiming: "What? Matsutake? Dozens of sacks are filled with matsutake?"
