When Tang Ding and Zong Xiaoyan followed Meng Yi to Jiang'an Village, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and for the people in the mountains, it was already time to sleep.

Meng Yi originally wanted to take Tang Ding to live in his old mansion, but Tang Ding knew that Meng Yi wanted to go back to see his father and children, which was also the main purpose of his trip. For his wife, Meng Yi has long been dead, because he knows her nature, he used to be able to run, and now of course he can run.

Although he knew Meng Yi's thoughts, Tang Ding did not agree. Because Meng Yi shot and killed the township government officials, it caused a strong reaction in the local area, and even Tang Ding saw a wanted notice posted on a big tree on the side of the road to arrest Meng Yi on a village road where he came.

Although Meng Yi's family has lived in Jiang'an Village for several generations, and the villagers' style in Jiang'an is also simple and conservative, this kind of murder case is different from others, and there is a bounty of 200,000 yuan with a clear price on it, so it is difficult to ensure that someone is not hot.

On the way here, Meng Yi asked Tang Ding why he wanted to come to his hometown with him, but Tang Ding didn't explain, just simply said that he wanted to come and have a look.

Why did Tang Ding come over with Meng Yi to have a look? First, Tang Ding was extremely surprised by Meng Yi's qualifications, not to mention the idea of accepting apprentices, because Tang Ding did not want to live up to Meng Yi's qualifications.

This is one of them, and the main reason why Tang Ding decided to come over to have a look is that Tang Ding saw that Meng Yi had a sinister aura.

The yin and evil qi is on the body, and people generally do not die but also get seriously ill. But Meng Yi was not unusual, it may be that Meng Yi's body was heavy with yang energy, and the influence of yin and evil qi was offset by the yang energy on his body.

However, Meng Yi's yang energy is heavy, it does not mean that the yang energy of his family is also heavy, Meng Yi is not affected, it does not mean that Meng Yi's family is not affected.

Tang Ding just came over to see if Meng Yi's family was affected by the evil spirit.

If there is, then Tang Ding will help him with this favor and relieve him of this worry.

That night, Meng Yi took Tang Ding to find a leeward cave in a mountain not far from Jiang'an Village, lit a fire, and cooked.

The meal was a fat hare picked up by Meng Yi on the way to Jiang'an Village.

The hare was strangled on the rabbit buckle under the hunter, and Meng Yi picked it up by the way. In the mountains, there are a lot of rabbits that hunt hares, which are all under the mountain people, and the hares are caught in exchange for some money.

It was obviously not enough for three people to eat a hare, so in Mengyi to make a fire and skin the hare, Tang Ding went out and brought a badger back.

This badger is an adult badger, weighing more than 30 catties, Tang Ding went out for a while, and it was still at night, he was able to hit a badger, which surprised Meng Yi very much.

In fact, when Tang Ding was about to go out hunting, Meng Yi's thought in his heart was that Tang Ding would definitely not be able to hunt, because it was already nearly nine o'clock at night, and it was not easy to hunt at night? Even a super hunter like Meng Yi, who grew up in the mountains, did not dare to say that he would definitely be able to hunt at night.

When Tang Ding returned, Meng Yi had just skinned the hare, skewered it on a stick, and began to roast it. Seeing that Tang Ding had caught a badger and returned, he immediately gave the string of hare to Tang Ding, and then went to skin the badger himself.

By the time the meat was done, it was already an hour later.

Zong Xiaoyan took a small bite of meat, watched Tang Ding and Meng Yiren take a bottle of vodka of spirits brought back from Russia, eat meat and drink a lot.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll go back to your house first, and if it's convenient, I'll bring your father and children here to meet you, and you won't go back. ”

Hearing Tang Ding's words, Meng Yi nodded, he knew Tang Ding's kindness, this was because he was worried that his appearance would be reported.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Tang Ding and Zong Xiaoyan arrived at Jiang'an Village in the mountains.

However, the people in the mountains got up very early, and when the two of them went, they saw several people who went to the entrance of the village to carry water and eat.

Jiang'an Village still retains the tradition of the elders, and the draught of the whole village is water from a well, and every morning, the villagers will go to the well at the head of the village to draw water.

"Old man, let me ask, I heard that there is a person in your village who has dug up a thousand-year-old ginseng, do you know which one?" Tang Ding asked an old man who carried water.

In the village in the mountains, from time to time, some people who collect ginseng and mountain goods will pass by and collect some mountain goods from the villagers.

Therefore, the appearance of Tang Ding is not abrupt, and the people in the village are not repulsed, it is precisely because of these mountain goods that the people in the village have something to do, so they don't have to travel to the big city.

Of course, it is okay to go to the town where the township government is located, but the distance in the town is not close, and it takes a day to walk back and forth, and the price in the town is lower than the price of these people who come to collect mountain goods.

"You're asking about the old Meng family, right? Alas, this family is miserable, digging up a ginseng, but I didn't expect it to cause disaster. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Tang Ding showed an inquiring look, "Oh, what calamity, what's going on?"

"Alas, it's hard to put into words. Come, sit down and I'll tell you. Hearing Tang Ding's inquiry, the old man beckoned Tang Ding and Zong Xiaoyan to sit down, and began to tell about the Meng family.

Meng Yi dug up ginseng, was forcibly taken back by the government, and finally Meng Yi escaped from the shootout, this experience is basically the same as what Meng Yi said, and there is nothing to say.

Tang Ding mainly listened to the later things. If there is nothing to do in the back, then the Meng family is not miserable. Meng Yi escaped, and Meng Yi's grandfather and children were also released, which was actually a good ending.

But the old man said that the Meng family was miserable.

After Meng Yi fled, this big case aroused the attention of the whole society. The township government has been ordinary for decades, and never thought that it would be so famous at this time?

After Meng Yi escaped, the township government issued a reward warrant with a reward of 200,000 yuan for Meng Yi's arrest.

Meng Yi's wife, the day after Meng Yi left, left the house again and did not know where to go. But for her, it has become a habit to abandon her husband and children and run away from home.

At the same time, Meng Yi's grandfather was also anxious because of this matter, and soon after Meng Yi left, he was paralyzed in bed and couldn't move.

Meng Yi's son, even more because his grandfather was paralyzed at home, his father was gone, his mother was gone, and he had no source of livelihood, so he naturally couldn't afford to go to school, so he dropped out of school and stayed at home.

But it's not okay to stay at home like this, grandpa is sick and has no money for treatment, so in order to treat grandpa, he went to Harbin City to work last year.

Originally, he was going to take his grandfather to work in the city with him, but he was already young, and there was a long road from Jiang'an Village to Harbin, which was not open to traffic, so it was impossible to take his grandfather out of bed with his paralyzed body.

So the villagers let him go by himself, and the old man was taken by the dozen or so families who were still in the village to take turns to deliver food.

Old Man Meng was paralyzed in bed, and none of his children and grandchildren were around, relying on the help of his neighbors. However, these neighbors are not young, and they are all people who can't leave their homeland and can't bear to leave home at such an old age.

Hearing this, Tang Ding said in his heart that this Meng family had indeed caused disaster because of this precious ginseng.

Tang Ding is not a person who has never seen a treasure, but this ginseng is probably the source of the disaster.

After talking about the Meng family, the old man who carried the water pointed to Tang Ding's door of the Meng family.

The Meng family is easy to find, and the house is under a crooked-necked tree.

Tang Ding said goodbye to the old man who carried the water, and then pushed the door and went inside.

Tang Ding saw Old Man Meng on the bed, the old man had white hair and was skinny. In the Meng family, there is another person who is feeding the old man, this should be the same villager who took turns to take care of the old man who carried the water before.

The rice is sweet potato and rice porridge, and although it is a liquid food, it is still fed with one bite and sprinkled with most of it.

The old man's hemiplegia had affected his eating, and the muscles in his mouth were not good.

The middle-aged man who fed Old Man Meng was puzzled when he saw Tang Ding and Zong Xiaoyan entering the door, but out of the simplicity of the mountain people, he didn't ask Tang Ding what he meant, but just gave up the stool and let Tang Ding and Zong Xiaoyan sit down.

"Hello old man, I heard from a friend that you have dug up a thousand-year-old ginseng plant at home, I want it, can you let me see it?"

"Alas, boss, you are also here to collect mountain goods, right? This ginseng was dug up by Uncle Meng's kid before, but now it is gone. ”

"Oh, why not?" asked Dondin.

"It's hard to say a word, let the government take it away, saying that the things picked in the country's forests should belong to the state, phew, isn't this? We mountain people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, have hunted in the mountains all our lives, and have picked up mountain goods all our lives, and everyone knows that the things we have picked up are our own, and now we are coming out like this, isn't this bullying honest people? If you want me to say, Xiao Yizi, that kid, there are still too few people to kill, and we should kill all these robbers. ”

The attitude of the people in the mountains made Tang Ding a little surprised, in the eyes of many people, Meng Yi's behavior violated the law of the country, although it is wrong for the government to take advantage of it, but Meng Yi can't say anything about killing people, this is human life after all, and it is not a one.

"Then do you know whose hands this ginseng ended up with?"

"Who else could it be? The government, the government robbed the old Meng family's things, and the old Meng family said they didn't want it, and they still wanted to kill it, saying what kind of ginseng is poisonous, how can ginseng be poisonous, this is really ******. Everyone knows that ginseng is a great supplement, but you can't make up too much, if you want me to say, it must be that person is too greedy, and uses too much, and finally he can't make up for it, and he dies of ginseng's medicinal strength. ”

"Oh, I see, it looks like I'm out of touch with this ginseng. Tang Ding shook his head and sighed, looking very sorry.

"Yes, if you want me to say, this ginseng must have been eaten up by those dogs, dignitaries, and nobles, and finally ate a weak body, but blamed the old Meng family, do you say this lack of virtue is not lacking in virtue?"
