Listening to Chen Xiaobo's words, Chen Xiaobei suddenly understood, yes, he went into the mountains a few days ago and caught two live wolves. Each village guard was given five taels of silver, which was just enough to buy a donkey.
With the betrothal gift and the donkey, Gao Hongmei can naturally marry into Chen Xiaobo's family.
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely go when the time comes."
Seeing Chen Xiaobo leaving happily, Chen Xiaobei knew that he had stepped up his efforts and promised to distribute free fishing nets to the villagers. He had only made a dozen so far, so he had to seize the time to make a few more.
Just when he was busy making fishing nets, Da Laohei came.
Because the village protection team members all knew him, they no longer blocked him or reported him, and just let him in.
Chen Xiaobei was still a little surprised to see Big Lao Hei coming to see him.
"Master Dazhai, please sit down quickly."
Even Chen Qiaoer was no longer afraid of Big Laohei. He brought a bowl of water out of the house and placed it on the stone table.
Da Laohei looked around.
"Brother Xiaobei, it's time to add some wealth to your family."
Chen Xiaobei now lives in Chen Dachun's home. To be honest, the hardware is many times better than his original home, especially the stone benches and tables that are all presentable.
So when Da Laohei said this, Chen Xiaobei was a little confused as to what the other party meant.
"Well, it would be nice if the villagers can live a simple life."
After listening to Chen Xiaobei's words, Da Laohei laughed, reached out and took out a banknote from his arms and put it in front of Chen Xiaobei.
"Brother, thank you for showing us the way. This is your reward."
Chen Xiaobei glanced over and saw that it was two hundred taels of silver. He was also secretly surprised. In this era, two hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money.
This made him a little confused. A trip to Qingniu Mountain could earn so much money. Of course, if Chen Xiaobei knew that Da Laohei had earned five thousand taels, would he be shocked?
After a few polite words, Chen Xiaobei collected the money. Thinking about it, the rewards from going into the mountains are quite big!
Not only did we harvest silver, we also got ginseng, and we also caught a few big snakes.
Having harvested so much all at once, I felt a little embarrassed. Chen Xiaobei smiled and said, "Master of the village, I won't be polite to you for the money. Later I will get you two dogwood trees from the mountain and deliver them to the village."
Go, and from now on, you won’t have to run to Qingniu Mountain."
Hearing this, Da Laohei was very happy. He smiled and touched his head, "Okay, okay, then I'll thank you in advance."
At this moment, Lidong, the village guard captain, hurried in.
"Brother Xiaobei is in trouble."
Seeing Lidong's anxious look, Da Laohei quickly stood up and left.
After seeing off Big Laohei, Chen Xiaobei also turned to look at Lidong, "What's going on? You look so anxious."
"There were birds frightened on the mountain just now. I quietly walked up and took a look. There were many signs of entering the mountain from the north fork."
"There are probably dozens of people."
Chen Xiaobei knew this fork in the road.
This road is very hidden. From the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, about three or four miles away, there is a fork road diagonally to the north. This fork road leads directly to the small river.
In other words, if you want to enter the mountain from this road, you have to cross the river.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for outsiders to know this road.
In other words, there are many roads into the mountains, and this road is the most difficult to take. Why choose this one?
"Brother Xiaobei, how about I take someone into the mountain to have a look?" Lidong began to ask for his opinion.
Chen Xiaobei shook his head slightly, "Brother Lidong, you have to understand that Qingniu Mountain is not mine, yours, or our Hetou Village, so if we go, of course others can go too."
After hearing what he said, Cui Hongyu next to him burst into laughter.
I don’t know how many times Chen Xiaobei has said this.
"Okay, then I won't go." Lidong felt a little disappointed.
He had no choice but to change the topic and took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to Chen Xiaobei, "This is the silver from selling ginseng. You can use it first. Building a house will cost a lot of money."
Chen Xiaobei smiled, "No need for the money, thank you, thank you very much."
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. The mention of ginseng in Lidong made Chen Xiaobei think twice. The last time he entered Hulu Valley, he found traces of ginseng being poached.
After all, I haven't been to Calabash Valley for many days, so I have to go and see what's going on.
"Brother Lidong, go organize a few people and let's go to Hulu Valley."
Just when he was about to enter the mountain, a group of people had already arrived at the mountain temple.
It was Sun Jian, Sun Qing and others.
This time there were several special people who followed Sun Jian into the mountains.
One of them was Miao Qingfeng. Miao Qingfeng was a popular figure in front of the Imperial Master. His arrival showed his recognition and importance to Sun Jian.
Although Sun Jian had a road map, one point was not resolved, and that was the specific location of the dragon vein.
Not only do you need to find the correct dragon veins, but you also need to select the dragon eyes and dragon heads. Only after confirming them one by one can you decide on the next step.
In other words, drawing the route map to Qingniu Mountain only completes the foundation of the foundation, and only completes the first step.
Next to Miao Qingfeng was an old man in Taoist robes. This old man had white beard and hair, and was thin and slender. He looked a bit like a fairy. Miao Qingfeng also respected him very much. He couldn't walk very far before he would laugh.
The escort carefully asked, "Taoist Master, do you want to take a rest before we go?"
The old man chuckled and stroked his gray beard, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I, Hongyun, can still bear this little road."
Until noon, Taoist Priest Hongyun was fine. Miao Qingfeng couldn't stand it anymore. He was used to being pampered, so he had never suffered such a crime.
Seeing him panting, Sun Jian also understood and shouted to the men leading the way, "It's getting late. Let's find a place to rest. Let's have a bite before leaving."
Taking advantage of the meal time, Sun Jian walked up to Miao Qingfeng and said with a smile, "Steward Miao, it's too tiring for us to carry so much equipment up the mountain. Why don't we leave some equipment behind, and you can bring a few people here to watch.
I will accompany the Taoist priest and continue moving forward."
Miao Qingfeng really wanted to stay, but looking at Hongyun, he was a little hesitant.
The order given to him by the Imperial Master before coming here was to stay with Taoist Priest Hongyun and not leave him for an inch.
After all, Taoist Master Hongyun has lived for so many years and has a very clear view of things. He chuckled and said, "What Sun Daxia said makes sense. I just went to the top of the mountain to take a look at the dragon's veins. There is no need to labor like this."
Well, since Taoist Master Hongyun gave Po, the donkey has to get off.
Miao Qingfeng turned to look at Sun Jian, "You protect the Taoist priest and go in front. I will take them and follow with their equipment."
This not only protects one's face but also saves energy.
After eating and drinking, Sun Jian continued to walk forward with Taoist Hongyun.
There is a road map and there is no need to worry about going the wrong way, so the speed will naturally increase.
