Everyone thought about it, but not so?

"Daddy, I think I might know where Sister Little Bird is." Suddenly, Lin Xiaocao spoke.

Lin Xiaole was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to be happy, he remembered that his daughter was an eight-year-old little radish head, and suddenly said with interest: "Where did you go?" ”

"She may have gone to Chushan." Lin Xiaocao whispered.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they didn't even think for a moment to distinguish the truth of her words, Qin Xiaohua looked shocked and said, "How can a girl go to that place?" ”

It is said that Chu Mountain is also famous in their local area, it is a veritable gold mountain, once rich in gold. Someone may have discovered the word "Zeng", although there are still gold mines in Chushan today, but it has been almost opened up in the past 100 years, and because of the landslide in the early years, it is now very dangerous. Unless it's really unbearable, no one will risk their lives to get that little bit of golden sand.

Of course, there are actually quite a few people who have been forced to this point in this era, but so far, except for a few people who have lost their lives with bad luck, I have never heard of anyone making a fortune there.

"Xiaocao, did Sister Xiaoniao tell you that she was going to Chushan?" Li Fangmei asked with a solemn face.

"Nope." Lin Xiaocao shook her head, and without waiting for the others to relax, she spoke: "But I saw her ask the short-legged grandfather who lived in the mountains about the situation in Chushan, and I also overheard the short-legged grandfather telling her to be careful on the way to Chushan, and even more careful of bandits when leaving." ”

The short-legged grandfather in her mouth is a single old man in the village, who worked as a surveyor in the Chushan gold mine in his early years, and one of his legs was sawed off during the Chushan landslide, and he returned to the village with the compensation he received. I didn't marry a wife, and I went to guard the mountain for everyone during the Anti-Japanese War, so I have been living in the mountain and never coming down.

Li Fangmei covered her head and was a little dizzy, and said urgently: "Quick, go find short feet." ”

Lin Xiaoxi's brothers did not delay. He took the knife and went up the mountain. By the time they came down from the mountain, it was time for dinner.

"How's that, did you ask?" Lin Nianqiang asked at the door. He originally wanted to go with him, but his daughter-in-law and sister-in-law said that they wouldn't let him go.

Lin Xiaoan shook his head, "Uncle said let's leave this matter alone, if we do." The bird was originally fine, and it was going to be okay. ”

"What does the old man mean?" Zhou Fengqin said angrily: "I must say that he and the little bird are talking nonsense, and the child will go to Chu Mountain." ”

"Let's leave this alone." Lin Nianqiang reversed his eagerness just now, he glanced at several daughters-in-law and nieces and said, "You guys take the children to eat, they don't have to go hungry." ”

Qin Xiaohua glanced at each other a few times, but she didn't care about his behavior like this. Anyway, when I go back, my man will tell them.

In a few moments, there were three old ones and four small ones left in the house.

"Daddy, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" Lin Xiaole couldn't help but ask.

Lin Nianqiang looked at Li Fangmei, "Sister-in-law, do you remember that the younger brother wanted to take me and my eldest brother out to run the goods?" ”

"You mean the year I was born?" Li Fangmei thought about it for a long time before she thought of this stubble.

"Yes." Lin Nianqiang hurriedly nodded.

Zhou Fengqin also thought about it, "But didn't you just do it later?" said that the investigation was too strict. ”

"That's a disguise." Lin Nianqiang drank the water from the quilt in one gulp, stood up and checked the windows and doors, making sure that what he said would not be heard. Only then did he sit back and said in a whisper: "Actually, we went to Chushan that time." ”

"What?" Zhou Fengqin covered her mouth and looked surprised, "What are you going to do in Chushan?" ”

Lin Nian forced his voice and said, "This has to start with the younger brother, didn't a lot of people starve to death when there was a famine?" The acre of sweet potatoes planted by short feet were secretly dug up at night before they were ripe. I finally fainted from hunger in a wooden hut on the mountain. It just so happened that the sister-in-law had already produced filial piety, and I went to ask someone for brown sugar, and the younger brother went up the mountain to find motherwort. ”

"At that time, every leaf on the mountain was gnawed, and motherwort was naturally hard to find, and my sister-in-law was waiting to ask for it. The younger brother felt that it was troublesome to go up and down the mountain, so he simply thought about going to the short feet to make do with two nights. That's exactly what happened. He used the dry food on his body to save the short feet, and later gave him more than a dozen catties of sweet potatoes at home. Let him survive the famine. In order to thank the little brother, Short Foot told the little brother a secret. ”

"What's the secret?" Everyone was intrigued by his words.

Lin Nianqiang's voice was even lowered: "When Short Feet was working as a surveyor in Chushan, he had hidden a sum of gold privately, but later lost a leg, and at that time, because of the landslide, many people came down, and the compensation was enough for him to live a lifetime, so he was afraid of attracting attention, so he didn't take the gold." ”

"He told Uncle where the gold was hidden?" Zhou Fengqin's voice trembled a little, but she still remembered to lower her voice.

Lin Nianqiang nodded, "That year, the junior brother originally planned to take us out the gold, but it turned out that it was not difficult to take out the gold, but it was impossible to take it out. We had no choice but to put the gold back and find a chance to get it later. ”

"Then why didn't you get it all the time?" Zhou Fengqin was puzzled.

"I wanted to go a few years ago after the end of the Cultural Revolution, but my younger brother was no longer very useful at that time, just hiding it from Wanwan, and the eldest brother was no longer there, I couldn't remember the location at all, and the younger brother told me many times that I still have to forget." Lin Nianqiang looked bitter, and couldn't help complaining: "The short-legged guy is too good at hiding things, and I still feel dizzy when my little brother drew a map for me, I remember that we drilled more than 30 holes just at that time, and the mountain of Chu Mountain has been changing, where can I find it?" ”

"That makes sense, but how would the bird know? The short-legged man had a strange temper but also had a clear grudge, and the gold was used by him to repay his uncle for saving his life, and I don't believe he would tell her the secret he told his younger brother. Lin Xiaoan was puzzled.

"It should have been the little sister who told her." Lin Xiaoxi suddenly spoke: "I remember that my little sister always said that when Xiaoniao was twelve years old, she would be sent to primary school. Although she said that she was making up for tuition at that time, she didn't seem to be in a hurry, and she still bought what she should buy. Now that I think about it, the uncle should have told the little sister the location of the gold, and the little sister has a good brain, so she must have remembered it. ”

What he didn't say was that there must be a lot of gold, and it wouldn't be much to use to send Xiaoniao to school, and the rest she would definitely plan for her nephews and nieces and even him and Brother Xiaoping. She has always been like this, she has a dollar, and she has to give at least eight cents to the people around her, and she never knows how to hide her secrets.

It's just that he didn't say it, how could other relatives who knew a lot about Lin Xiaoliang not understand?

Thinking of what Lin Xiaokang did, they didn't know whether to hate or be sarcastic for a while.

"What then? Still looking for birds? Lin Xiaoping asked.

"No need." Li Fangmei said: "Just like Short-footed said, this kind of thing can't be made quiet, otherwise it will be easy to have an accident." It's good if the bird can get that gold, it's always good to be alone and rich. ”

The only thing she worries about is where Lin Xiaoniao will go to exchange the gold for cash, but it is useless for her to worry about this kind of thing, she just hopes that the child can always be smart.

"Would you like to make a call and ask my little sister?" At this time, Lin Xiaoxi asked.

"Naturally, if you want to ask, you have to make a final decision." Li Fangmei nodded first, then shook her head and said: "No, this matter is not suitable to say on the phone, you send a telegram, no, this is not safe, wait for the next time you go to the magic capital, ask her in person." "After all, according to Lin Nianqiang, there is a big box of gold.

The old lady, although she had not read a book, had watched movies and knew that the telephone would be bugged and the telegram could be intercepted.

She looked at the four juniors present again, "I've put my words here today, even your daughter-in-law can't say anything about gold, it's not that you don't believe them, it's just that the fewer people who know about it, the better." ”

"Understood." Lin Xiaoping, as the biggest one, nodded in response, and they are not people who don't know the severity.

After being hungry for a long time, Li Fangmei beckoned everyone to eat again.

"By the way, there was something I almost forgot." Lin Xiaoxi ate seven or eight points full, and suddenly said, "Brother Xiaoping, have you thought about what business to do?" ”

Lin Xiaoping's brothers glanced at each other, and he said as a representative: "Not yet, firstly, I am a little dazzled, and secondly, I am afraid that I will lose the hard-won capital." ”

They really have no confidence, and they also plan to learn from Xiaoxi, who has already had successful experience.

"Otherwise, let's follow Xiaoxi to run the tea market together." Lin Xiaoan said.

He has always been a successful person, but he got such a large sum of money all of a sudden, and he was a little panicked.

"It's not going to work." Without waiting for him to show a disappointed expression, Lin Xiaoxi continued: "Little sister specially came up with a charter for you, you can't live up to her wishes." ”

"Really?" Lin Xiaole said with a look of surprise: "Little sister really gave us an idea?" In his opinion, Xiaomei can be admitted to university, and she must have a good idea in her head.

"Can the little sister make it?" Lin Xiaoan was a little hesitant, not that he didn't believe in Lin Xiaoling, but in fact, Lin Xiaoliang in his impression was more of an image holding a book, and it was difficult to associate her with business.

"Let's talk about it first." Lin Xiaoping remained neutral.

Facing the three pairs of eager eyes, Lin Xiaoxi coughed lightly and said: "First of all, Brother Xiaoping, the little sister said, Brother Xiaoping has the best hand in farming, and it is difficult for you to open any factory." ”

Lin Xiaoping nodded, the little sister really understands him, although his temperament is not wooden, but he is not a particularly calculating person, he has no confidence to play with people, and he is a person who values feelings, and if he gets it well, he is easy to be eccentric, and he can't make a bowl of water. He knew that this kind of problem was wrong, but sometimes his nature was not so easy to change. (To be continued)
