After lunch, Uncle Wen chatted with Zhao Yuan for a while, and then took his son home.

"This little brother Zhao's family is good, and the family business is very large, Dongzi, you have to be diligent when you go to work." On the way home, Uncle Wen said to his son.

"I see, Dad."

Zhao Yuan's family, after lunch, Wan Yunjun and his party are also ready to go back to Danling County, Changyan and Changsong brothers want to stay, but they are also going to school, Wan Yunjun let Qian Hu and the four of them push the two boys into the carriage.

"Second brother, have a good trip." Looking at Wan Yunjun, who was about to get into the carriage, Zhao Yuan said with his fists clenched.

"The matter of the soap business IPO meeting is done, I will find someone to inform you, it should be held in Danling County." Wan Yunjun waved his hand and said.

"Okay, I'll go then."

"Boss Zhao, I will find a few people from my senior brothers to come to you as soon as possible." Qian Hu, who was driving the car, also said.

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, Brother Qian." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Let's go, Atom, Xiaoying, Luoluo and Xiaobao, Uncle Tao, you don't have to send it." Wan Yunjun said with a smile.

"Goodbye Uncle Wan."

After Wan Yunjun walked away, there were a few fewer people and the house seemed much quieter, and the children of Zhaojiazhuang were playing with Luoluo, Xiaobao and Xingxing, and the afternoon passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yuan and Meng Ying were beckoning the children to have breakfast, and Zhao Jiazhuang's group of people who were about to go to Laoshan came to Zhao Yuan's house with the tools to go up the mountain.

"Where's breakfast?" Pushing the door in, Uncle Zhao Chuanyi said when he saw everyone who was preparing to eat.

"Uncle, second uncle, third uncle, fifth uncle, Uncle Pole, you guys are so early, don't they go to school in the afternoon?" Seeing the villagers of Zhaojia Village who pushed the door in, Zhao Yuan got up and asked.

"Didn't you say a few years ago that you were going to go to the mountain to have a look, and we plan to go up the mountain today." Uncle Zhao Chuanyi said.

"Go today? It's still snow and ice on the mountain. Zhao Yuan wondered.

"It's spring ploughing soon, it's just right to go up the mountain now, atom, you guys should eat first."

"Uncle, have you eaten it?"

"Eat, you eat, atom, you will prepare it later, let's go up the mountain together, didn't you say that you want to go to the mountain to have a look?"

"Okay, let's take some bread with us, and we'll go up the mountain in a moment."

"Don't burn it anymore, we have it, and you can eat enough with the atoms." Uncle shook his head and said.

"Boss, shall I go with you?" Tao Pu on the side said.

"Okay."

After breakfast, Zhao Yuan and the two cleaned up, stopped a few children from wanting to go with them, and followed Zhaojiazhuang's uncles and brothers towards the old mountain with tools.

The old mountain, located behind the gray town market, is a big mountain that stretches for more than ten kilometers, and you can climb to the top of the old mountain from a small road up the mountain in the middle of the market street of gray yuan town. The mountain is rich in animal and plant resources, as well as a large number of precious medicinal materials. Although I have not heard of tigers, lions and bears and other animals on the mountain, but there are many animals such as wild boars, hares, goats, etc., and the slope of some places in the old mountain is relatively gentle, which is very suitable for cultivating land, and this group of people in Zhaojiazhuang hopes to find such a place.

"This stream is called Dayuan Creek, and the water in this stream is used in the entire gray plain town market, and the stream water is cold in summer, which is very delicious." On the way up the mountain, Uncle Zhao Chuanyi pointed to a stream on the side of the road and introduced.

"Big brother, we haven't been to Laoshan for nearly six or seven years, right?" Second Uncle Zhao Yuancheng said.

"I haven't been here for eight years, the last time I came to Laoshan was because of the famine, and the entire Gray Plains Town basically survived by relying on Laoshan, otherwise I don't know how many people would die in the famine eight years ago." Uncle Zhao Chuanyi recalled.

Eight years ago, because of the whole year in Gray Yuan Town and even several counties near Danling, the weather was very abnormal that year, and the rainfall was very little throughout the year, Zhao Yuan knew the situation of that year from the memory of the original body, and the people in Gray Yuan Town and several nearby villages went to the old mountain to find food, and Zhao Dazhu followed the uncle and they went to the old mountain and brought back some things that could be eaten on the mountain.

"I remember another time my eldest brother hit a hedgehog, and there are still some hedgehog thorns in the house." Zhao Yuan also said.

"That's the big pillar's luck, the hedgehog happened to be stuck in the crack of the stone, he just picked it up, I remember that someone tried to grab the hedgehog at that time, but a few of us stopped it." Third Uncle Zhao Yuanyun said with a smile.

"The mountains are full of people, and the hedgehog was frightened and let Dazhu pick up the leak, and at that time a piece of edible bark was very precious, not to mention meat, I remember Dazhu cried at that time." Fifth Uncle Zhao Lao Wu said.

"The eldest brother didn't say anything about it when he went back, I just remember that our family was very happy that day." Zhao Yuan recalled for a moment and said.

"The big pillar is good, it's a pity." Speaking of Zhao Dazhu, several people were silent for a while.

"Look, this waterhole here is the source of the entire Dayuan Creek, and there are still a lot of fish in it." Walking along the path to a waterhole, Uncle pointed to the waterhole and said.

"The water is so clear, I didn't know there was such a big pool here." Zhao Yuan looked at the waterhole in front of him, which was almost two acres in size, and from time to time he could see a few small fish swimming by, and said in shock.

"You haven't been here, but the great drought eight years ago dried up the pool and only a little bit of the bottom of the pool."

"The people in the market have to come up to fetch water, and every time they pick it up, they throw away most of the load."

"So far away, I just remember that it was a very dry year, and such a big pool of water would dry up." Zhao Yuan said in shock.

It took almost half an hour to walk from the market street to the present place, and there was no road further up, so you had to cut a path with a sickle.

The trees on the old mountain are completely different from the trees on the mountains around Zhaojiazhuang, the mountains around Zhaojiazhuang are mainly pine trees, but the trees on the old mountain are more mixed, there are all kinds of trees, and there are deep shrubs and thatch, which are very difficult to walk.

In the waterhole at the source of Dayuan Creek, the bamboo tube that he carried with him was filled with water, and Zhao Qing, the two sons of Zhao Gongzi, Zhao Yang and a few young people, opened the road in front of them, and continued to walk towards the mountain, fortunately, the weather was sunny in the past few days, and the mountain did not seem wet.

"You don't see many animals?" After walking for a while, Zhao Yuan said strangely.

"It's a little strange, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of animals in the mountains, and I remember that it was easy to see small animals like hares and pheasants." Uncle Zhao Chuanyi gasped and said.

"Maybe there are a lot of people in us, the movement is too big, and those animals run away first, you listen, can't you hear the sounds of some animals?" Zhao Gongzi shook his head and said while holding on to a tree trunk on the side of the road.

"Possibly."

Continuing to walk towards the mountain, stepping on the thick fallen leaves in the mountain forest along the way, paying attention to the surroundings at any time, Zhao Yuan suddenly saw a wild kiwi on the side of the road.

"Uncle, wait a minute, there's a wild kiwi there?" Zhao Yuan stopped a few people and pointed to the location of the wild kiwi and said.

"Atom, that's a peach, not a kiwi?" looked at the kiwi fruit that Zhao Yuan pointed at, and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's a peach." Zhao Yuan recalled that wild kiwifruit was called peaches here in Gray Plains Town.

"There is no such thing as now, if you want to pick peaches, you have to wait until about September, but there are not many peaches on the old mountain, and almost no one comes to pick them, so let's take a break, let's go and see if there are any." Uncle Zhao Chuanyi said mysteriously.

"Probably not anymore, right?" Zhao Yuan looked at the wild kiwi vine that was already bare and said.

"Most people don't know, but I heard an old hunter say that the peaches that are not the best from the tree, but the best ones that fall to the ground and are covered by leaves." Uncle Zhao Chuanyi said with a smile.

"If it falls to the ground, it's still broken?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"Not necessarily, I haven't seen it either, let's look for it." Uncle Zhao Chuanyi said with a smile.
