For three days in a row, the tigers in Phoenix Mountain were nowhere to be seen.
People increasingly believe that the tiger was frightened and left Phoenix Mountain.
As a result, more and more people went up the mountain.
Old Man Su was worried, so he went to the village chief to analyze the hidden dangers, and they went to the county government together.
After all, they were the ones who proposed the tiger hunting thing.
In this messy situation, what would we do if a tiger suddenly jumped out and something big happened?
Magistrate Zheng met with Old Man Su and the village chief with enthusiasm on his face.
Daliushu Village is now the beacon for his successful official career, so Magistrate Zheng is particularly approachable to the people in Daliushu Village.
After Old Man Su and the village chief presented themselves to Magistrate Zheng, they directly explained their intention.
County Magistrate Zheng listened to the two men's words, pondered for a moment, and said: "The worries of both of you are not unreasonable, but if someone wants to go up the mountain, I can't stop him. After all, no one can tell whether the tiger is still in Phoenix or not."
On the mountain..."
Magistrate Zheng explained the reasons and finally decided that the Yamen should post notices stating the dangers.m.
If you are still willing to go hunting or picking in the mountains, the government will not stop you, but you will be responsible for the consequences.
After hearing this, Old Man Su and the village chief understood that this was the only way to go.
The danger has been made clear. If people just don't care, they can't do anything.
So, Magistrate Zheng waved his hand, and Master Liu drafted a notice and had it posted.
After people read the notice, they didn't take it seriously, and their enthusiasm for going up the mountain became even higher.
If you don't go, others will go. Whoever goes will come back with a full harvest. Those who don't go are fools!
Not only the villagers from nearby villages ran to the mountains at dawn, but also people from distant villages and towns also rushed to Fenghuang Mountain in the middle of the night.
At the same time, Fengqi Town also became lively.
People selling medicinal herbs, mountain products, and game came to the town one after another.
The panic caused by the locust plague was greatly diluted.
The Su family has also made a lot of profits these days.
Not to mention anything else, the dozen Pangasius plants on the first day alone were sold for dozens of taels of silver.
Coupled with the game that Old Man Su and his two eldest sons brought back from the mountains in the past few days, the whole Su family's mouths were filled with oil.
However, Mrs. Su strictly ordered the women and children of the Su family not to go into the mountains and could only hang around at the mountain entrance.
Qian Yuemei was quite critical of this.
"Mom, do you know how many mushrooms and wild fruits were picked at Mrs. Wang's house next door today?" Qian Yuemei said dissatisfied: "Our family only wanders around places where others have picked, what can we find?"
After Qian Yuemei finished speaking, she put the basket in her hand on the ground angrily.
There are only a few handfuls of wild vegetables in the basket.
Mrs. Su's expression remained unchanged and she said, "Even if you can't find anything, you are not hungry at home!"
Qian Yuemei, "..."
Is it okay if you're not hungry?
Where is the silver?
She had heard that several families had dug up wild ginseng.
Wild ginseng! It’s worth a lot of money!
If she goes into the mountains, she might be able to dig it!
After all, their family's luck is quite good.
Qian Yuemei wanted to go into the mountain eagerly, but when she saw her mother-in-law's face darkening, she did not dare to argue with her even though she was not convinced.
Zhao Chunhua advised from the side: "Brothers, sisters, and mother are all for our own good. What should we do if we encounter a tiger? Besides, go out and ask, who can still eat three meals a day?"
Qian Yuemei, "..."
This is true!
Her parents' family only ate two meals of porridge a day, not to mention three meals of dry rice.
However, even though he thought so in his heart, he could never admit defeat to Zhao Chunhua.
My mother-in-law didn't dare to quarrel with her, so my sister-in-law certainly couldn't be left behind.
"Sister-in-law said it nicely, but I heard that many people from your mother's village are running to the mountains. Why don't you tell them not to go into the mountains?" Qian Yuemei said angrily.
Zhao Chunhua's expression changed.
Why didn't she persuade me?
However, no one listened to my advice.
There are so many good things on Phoenix Mountain, who wouldn’t be greedy after hearing about them?
What's more, the village was hit by a locust plague.
Nowadays, no one comes to cheer her up. This is because her parents love their daughter and are afraid of hurting her and leaving her unable to hold her head high at her mother-in-law's house.
Zhao Chunhua has given all the private money she has saved over the years to her parents' family.
Moreover, her mother-in-law secretly gave her five taels of silver and some rice and noodles to help her family support her family.
In the end, she could only take care of her mother's family.
As for other people's homes, where does she take care of them?
Qian Yuemei felt much relieved when she saw that Zhao Chunhua was speechless.
However, the desire to go into the mountains to hunt for treasures still persists.
Huh! If you don’t let her go, won’t she go?
If you can’t go in the open, why can’t you go in secret?
Qian Yuemei decided to find an excuse to separate from her mother-in-law tomorrow and go into the mountains to look for good things.
