Chapter 668

~7 min read 1,363 words

After Seeing Mu Xueli shouted, he heard that old bastard inside shout:

"Fellow villager, don't misunderstand. I am a person. I am trapped inside. There is 'Guo Ji You Ren' inside. Could you please go to the county government..."

Before this old bastard could finish shouting, Wang An yelled: "Fuck your mother, this is really a corpse coming back to life, damn it."

As soon as he shouted, Wang An turned and ran, and Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li saw Wang An running and also followed and ran.

After galloping on horseback for quite a distance, the three of them laughed "hahahaha..."

To tell the truth, Wang An really didn't expect that these 5 devils had really come through normal channels. Fortunately, he didn't take the initiative to fire his gun earlier; otherwise, if they really investigated, he might have had to flee for his life.

After laughing, Seeing Mu Xueli asked Wang An:

"Brother-in-law, when do you plan to go to the county town?"

Wang An thought for a moment and said casually:

"Let's talk after digging those ginseng roots. I found several more ginseng roots this afternoon; I have to dig them all out."

Wang Li chimed in: "Fourth Brother, if those devils are just trapped inside, what if they die inside? Won't the people above come down to investigate us?"

Actually, before, Wang Li and Seeing Mu Xueli didn't understand things like "Guo Ji You Ren," and they didn't know how much trouble it would be for the local area if "Guo Ji You Ren" died.

Because in the remote mountainous areas of this era, you might not be able to see a "Guo Ji You Ren" in a lifetime, so it is extremely normal not to know about things in this regard.

If it were according to the meaning of Wang Li and Seeing Mu Xueli before, they would just kill all these 5 devils, which could also avenge their predecessors.

The reason why they know now and are worried is because Wang An told Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li before.

Wang An said with indifference:

"Don't worry, they won't die. They are all carrying flower baskets, so they must have brought food."

However, what these two little girls didn't expect was that after they retracted their gaze, their parents and sister-in-law exchanged glances with hidden smiles.

It was obvious that these three all understood the nature of these two little sisters.

Wang Xiaomei said aggrievedly:

"I heard you, Big Brother. I won't go play with the little golden eagle."

Once Wang Xiaoli heard her big sister speak, she also said with a tearful voice:

"I heard you too, Big Brother. I... I want to eat..."

It must be said that Wang Xiaoli still knew very well what "looting a burning house" meant.

Unfortunately, before she could finish, Liu Guilan scolded: "Eat what? Your big brother has almost moved the supply and marketing cooperative to our house. Are you still not satisfied?"

What Liu Guilan said was absolutely correct; whatever food or snacks were in the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang An's house definitely had them, and in no small quantity.

It was mainly because Wang Dazhu and his wife were used to being stingy; no matter what good food or drink entered the house, they liked to store it away, calling it "rationing." "Rationing" meant planning and making things last.

But Wang An really couldn't stand this practice of having everything but hiding it all away, unwilling to eat or drink it.

That's why when Wang An bought things, he was so ruthless, buying them by the box or by the case.

Fortunately, this approach of Wang An's was quite effective, finally making Wang Dazhu and his wife less stingy.

As soon as Liu Guilan finished speaking, Wang Xiaoli was clearly stunned for a moment. She secretly glanced at Liu Guilan and then said to Wang An with a lisp, "Then Big Brother, find me some snacks!" Surprisingly, Wang Xiaoli's little brain reacted quite quickly, making everyone laugh. Liu Guilan also didn't expect her youngest daughter to hold it in for so long only to blurt out such a sentence; her originally serious expression instantly broke, and she burst into laughter with a "pfft."

Just as Wang An was packing the things he needed to take into the mountains and briefly explaining the method of raising eagles to his family, Seeing Mu Xueli rode over.

Seeing Mu Xueli not only returned Wang An's set of ginseng-digging tools but also brought two new sets, saying that one of them was prepared for Wang Li.

In these two sets of tools, the red rope for digging ginseng, axes, scissors, knives, saws, bone needles, and bone spoons were all there.

Only after asking did they find out that after Seeing Mu Xueli left Wang An's house yesterday, he didn't go home but went straight to the township's supply and marketing cooperative.

Of course, the bone needles and bone spoons weren't bought but made with the help of Mu Hua, using roe deer bones.

Just as Wang An and Seeing Mu Xueli were chatting, Wang Li also rode over.

After a brief greeting, the three of them rode their horses toward the mountains together.

To be honest, riding a horse into the mountains is really not as good as taking a sled, because riding a horse, other than the advantage of being slightly faster, is useless in every other aspect.

You can't smoke, chat, or talk nonsense, and you can't lie down or lean back. The key is that after riding for a long time, your butt and legs hurt like hell!

The three of them galloped their horses, and after more than an hour, they arrived at the location of that old ginseng patch.

However, on the outskirts of the old patch, Wang An made Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li dismount; of course, Wang An dismounted as well.

The reason for doing this was that Wang An discovered that new footprints had appeared nearby.

It's just that there were many dead leaves and withered grass, so most of these footprints were incomplete.

Having traveled in the mountains for a long time, Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li naturally noticed this immediately, so the expressions of the three of them couldn't help but become grave.

The three of them followed the footprints and observed the surroundings, confirming that there were a total of 5 people who left these footprints, but the direction they were walking wasn't toward the old patch; they were probably just passing by.

Seeing Mu Xueli said suspiciously:

"These 5 people, could they also be ginseng hunters?"

Wang An nodded and said:

"Yeah, according to the rules of the ginseng hunters, the number of people in a group is also odd, so it's really possible."

Wang Li was a bit nervous and said with a worried face: "Fourth Brother, do you think our old patch might have been discovered by them?"

Wang An thought for a moment and said with uncertainty:

"It should be fine for now. I just don't know if they'll wander back."

After a pause, Wang An suddenly said:

"You two hurry up and dig up that pile of ginseng. I'll quietly follow them and see."

Without taking a look, Wang An really couldn't feel at ease. If this group of people appeared while they were digging for ginseng, that would be troublesome.

As he spoke, Wang An handed the reins to Seeing Mu Xueli, while he himself followed the footprints.

Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li didn't dawdle, leading their horses into the old patch.

(End of chapter)

The golden eagle cub is still too small, so it needs to maintain its ferocity. Wang An just feeds it without talking; the main thing is that it's useless to talk, and it can't understand.

When a catfish was completely divided by these three little beasts, these three little things became much more harmonious.

However, Wang An was pondering his own thoughts, which was to prepare medicine for the golden eagle cub according to what was said on the silk cloth.
