Chapter 5: Two Nights of Fear

"Many! There are so many mountains around our village, all of which are filled with these wild fruit trees, and every year a large number of wild fruits roll into the ravines between the mountains, and they are several meters thick!" In autumn, you can smell the fermented wild fruits in the village. And I told you that our Chixian County is a big fruit-producing county in northern Hebei, and every year after all kinds of fruits are supplied to the surrounding counties and cities and the capital, it is more than enough, how can people still look at this wild fruit?"

"Then do the people in the village pick fruits every year?" Fang Mingyuan then asked.

"Except for young people who want to try it, they will go there and carry some back, or they plan to use it to make wine like Cheng Niangzi, otherwise ordinary people will not go. The village is planning to cut down all these trees and plant new ones. But it's difficult, without money, it's even difficult to cut down trees!" Wang Dongqi shook his head again and again, "This Guozigou Village is a poor land, and people say that they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water, but the mountains around us are this wild fruit tree, is it possible that we will eat this wild fruit?"

Fang Mingyuan had a slight feeling in his heart, maybe when he came here in his previous life, all the wild fruit trees in this mountain had been cut down? He still remembered that on that winding mountain road, most of the mountain bags he passed through were bare, only some dwarf trees and grass. He took out the map from his bag and showed it to Wang Dongqi and the others, asking them to point out the location of Guozigou Village.

"This is it!" Wang Dong pointed to the map.

"Well, that's it!" - Mao-Erji also nodded repeatedly.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but scratch his head a little, if the map was not wrong, then the village before entering the mountain in his previous life should be here, but he vaguely remembered that at that time, it seemed that the village was called Guo Village, could it be that he had heard the errand, and people said that it was Guo Village?

"Where does it lead from your village?" Fang Mingyuan put away the map and asked.

"That's the way into the mountains, and the road leads to the forest farms in the mountains. Mao-Erzhu took a sip of wine and said, "But this forest farm is about to be abandoned now." Fang Mingyuan was happy in his heart, the road in his previous life also led to a forest farm, it seemed that he might not have found the wrong place.

"This road leads to the forest farm, how can the logs cut down from the forest farm be transported out of your side?" Chen Zhong was even more strange, it was difficult for the jeep to drive on the broken road, let alone the truck transporting the logs.

"There's another way over there, which leads directly to the outside world. However, in recent years, it seems that there has been no repair, and the road condition is not easy to say. Wang Dongqi explained.

Fang Mingyuan nodded to Chen Zhong and them secretly, and Chen Zhong asked knowingly: "Secretary Wang, what wild things are there in this mountain? We are out to play, and by the way, we want to hunt a few wild things back." ”

"Wild things? A few years ago, you could occasionally see one or two wolves in this mountain, but now, I'm afraid you are just hunting rabbits and pheasants, and even wild boars and foxes are not easy to find. "If you want to catch some bigger wild things, you have to go north, and it's best to enter Inner Mongolia, maybe it's still possible." ”

After hearing this, Fang Mingyuan and the three of them were even more convinced, even wild boars and foxes were not easy to find, then there must be no dangerous-sexual-big wild animals, with Chen Zhong's two crossbows, it was estimated that it would be enough.

"Do you have any people who go up to the mountains to hunt on weekdays, can you lend us two shotguns?" Chen Zhong asked tentatively.

"Shotguns? It's not something anyone can handle! If you hurt someone in the mountains, you're responsible. Wang Dongqi was startled and said, "The shotguns in our village have long been handed in, and now the people in the village rely on the nest to catch rabbits or something." ”

Although Chen Zhong was a little disappointed, he was not surprised, after all, these people belonged to outsiders, and it was normal for people in this village not to dare to borrow.

"Secretary Wang, is there a place in your village where you can stay? I'm afraid the three of us will have to stay in this village for the night. We pay for the accommodation. Fang Mingyuan groaned for a moment and said. Now it's past noon, go to the road to the forest farm in the afternoon to see, look for the previous memories, I'm afraid it's almost dark, this time into the mountain, obviously not a good time, it is better to step on a good road, tomorrow morning into the mountain.

"What accommodation fees do you have to pay? The conditions in our village are not as good as those in your city, but this house is much larger than yours, if the three comrades do not dislike it, they will live in my house, and make sure that a few people sleep soundly. Wang Dongqi smiled and said. He could see that these three people were probably not ordinary people, and they could drive so far from the capital to hunt and bring their entourage, what kind of frame was this? Moreover, these two entourages were not ordinary people at first glance, they were probably from military backgrounds, and he couldn't see such people on weekdays. If you can make a good impression on them, you may be able to help you a lot in the future.

What is lacking in this rural area, there will be no shortage of houses, even if a poor family can have three dilapidated houses, right? How much can you pay for a night in a night?

"Lao Wang, your family has a large population, why don't you go to me, there are only five people in my family, and the few people are clean!" - Mao-Erzhu is not stupid, what Wang Dongqi can think of, he can naturally think of.

zuihou was made by Fang Mingyuan to live in Wang Dongqi's house, mainly because Fang Mingyuan saw that Wang Dongqi spoke more organized, and he was a secretary, which could have more power in the village.

When Wang Dongqi and Mao-Erzhu were also full of wine and food, Chen Zhong settled the bill, and the five people in this meal had wine and meat, and it only cost about 50 yuan, Chen Zhong dropped 250 and asked them to make four more tables according to the specifications of the meal at noon, and send it to Wang Dongqi's house in the evening. Wang Dongqi's eyes narrowed. The average annual income in their village is only more than 2,000 yuan, and if the family eats such a meal, it must be only for the guests who come to the New Year and the festival.

"Secretary Wang, -Mao-Village Chief, come up, go to your house to recognize the way, and when we come back in the afternoon, we will be easy to find!" Chen Zhong pulled the car door, let Fang Mingyuan sit in the passenger seat first, and then greeted the two of them.

The two looked a little flattered, and after getting into the car, they looked around curiously.

"In the evening, the village chief - Mao - also brought the family together, and everyone had a meal. Fang Mingyuan's words made Mao-Erji, who originally felt a little lost in his heart, also smile.

The next thing was simple, in the afternoon, Fang Mingyuan and the three of them drove to the mountain, and stayed until it was dark before returning. When they came back, Cheng Niangzi's family had already sent four tables of wine and food, and Wang Dongqi's family was waiting for them to eat. The banquet was more depressed, Chen Zhong and Wei Xingguo only drank two glasses because they had a task, Fang Mingyuan continued to drink fruit wine, Wang Dongqi and Mao-Erzhu really didn't dare to take the initiative to persuade him to drink, and these few who could drink were also self-controlled, for fear that they would drink too much and lose their temper, and then cause the disgust of the guests. So although the food was very rich, everyone ate very happily, and the wine was average.

Early the next morning, Fang Mingyuan and the three of them opened the mountain and entered the mountain, and they didn't come back until the evening, and the three of them looked a little tired and embarrassed, and brought back two hares. handed over to Cheng Niangzi's house, Chen Zhong dropped another 200 yuan, and everyone had a full meal in the evening.

On the third day, it was the same again.

On the fourth day, it was still the same.

Until the fifth day, it was dark, and the three of them had not come back, Wang Dongqi and Mao-Erzhu were not sure, so they found a dozen or so good guys in the village, drove the tractor in the village, and searched all the way along the road, and found a jeep under a hillside, but there was no one in the car. Wang Dongqi and Mao-Erzhu muttered even more in their hearts. Not to mention that they are guests from the capital, even if they have eaten for four days, they can't just go home. As a result, they drove a tractor back to pull a few tents, and at the same time organized people to search for them in the nearby mountains. I searched for it in the middle of the night, but I didn't get anything.

Early the next morning, Wang Dongqi and Mao-Erzhu asked people to go back to the village to find more people, and pulled a large net to look for them, and the two were so anxious that they jumped to their feet, seeing that the sky was turning cloudy, and it was very likely to snow, if they couldn't find it again, they had to report to the county police station to see if they could organize people from other nearby villages to search together.

Just when there was already a light snow in the sky, and both of them were a little desperate, and they were about to report to the county, good news came from the mountains and found Fang Mingyuan and the three of them. It didn't take long for the villagers to carry Fang Mingyuan on their backs, Wei Xingli and Chen Zhong to the jeep at the foot of the mountain.

The three of them were all tired, Fang Mingyuan's physical strength was the lowest, and before the villagers found them, they were completely framed by Wei Xingguo and Chen Zhong. If it weren't for these villagers looking for them, this mountain road would have been enough for them to walk in the middle of the night.

The bodies of the three people were all bruised, disgraced, and their clothes were torn a lot, but fortunately, no one was injured, Wang Dongqi and Mao-Erzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and a heart was finally put back in their stomachs.

As for what happened in the mountains, the three of them kept silent, Wang Dongqi and Mao-Erzhu asked a few times, and saw that the three of them didn't say anything, so they didn't say much, anyway, the three of them were safe and sound, which was content. On the way back, the flying snowflakes turned into snowflakes, and these people in jeeps were fine, but those in tractors were inevitably miserable.

By the time everyone was back in the village, it was about ten o'clock in the evening. After Fang Mingyuan and the three of them finished grooming, Chen Zhong took out 3,000 yuan and asked Wang Dongqi and Mao-Erzhu to distribute it to the villagers who went into the mountains to find people.

"That's too much!" Wang Dongqi and Mao-Erzhu were taken aback, so much money, on average, each person can share fifty or sixty yuan, which is not a decimal in the countryside. Although he knew that Fang Mingyuan and the three of them were generous, they didn't expect to give so much money.

"Take it, without everyone's help, I'm afraid the three of us are still in the mountains now, this is what everyone deserves!" Fang Mingyuan held a warm water bag, wrapped it in a quilt, and sat on the hot kang. If it weren't for the fact that they only had more than 1,000 yuan in cash left, he planned to give more. This time, he has suffered the most since he was reborn. I thought of everything, but I didn't think of changing the sky, but fortunately they got out of the mountain before the heavy snowfall, otherwise it would be more difficult to get out of the mountain when the snow stopped tomorrow. Thinking of this, he was a little more grateful to the villagers of Guozigou.

"Secretary Wang, -Mao-village chief, I'm afraid I'll have to disturb you for two more days, and when the snow stops, we'll go back. ”
