Chapter 80: Calculation
Mo Ye meant that while the heavy snow had not yet closed the mountain, he would go to the nearest signal base station to call for help, and then see if he could hunt any roe deer and wild deer by the way, and add some meat to the villagers.
I said okay, I'll go with you.
He shook his head again and again, "None of you should go, just help me take care of the mountain artillery, you need manpower to fight the blizzard, you just stay to help the villagers, I don't have any burden to go alone, but I can let go of my hands and feet, brother, you just wait for me to be a good letter, I will definitely come back within three days!" β
He borrowed a horse from the villagers and set out on the road, bringing only a little dry food and shochu. I saw him drift away, and soon disappeared into the snow.
In the evening, the wind was stronger, the windows were whistling, the villagers finished worshipping, and were walking to each house, suddenly someone shouted "on fire", and looked at the direction, it was the pasture, which was piled up with the fruits of the villagers' labor for a year, and it was the main source of income for the whole village......
The whole village rushed to put out the fire, I stood in the courtyard and looked back, the fire borrowed the wind, the grassland was already red, the wind was still leading the fire to the village, the houses closer had been affected, and the thick black smoke swept over like a fierce beast......
The black bump ran past me, carrying a bucket in his hand, with half a load of water in it, I grabbed him, and he asked me in a daze, "Brother, what are you still in a daze, hurry up and put out the fire!" β
I said, "It's not like two and a half of us, let's go, let's get down to business." β
β¦β¦
A horse-drawn plough galloped through the wind and snow, and the man with the whip wore a thick dogskin hat and covered most of his face, and he turned a mountain road, and was about to swing his whip, when he saw a large tree lying across the road ahead.
He turned his horse's head to change course, but I rushed up while I was there, blocking his way.
He stopped the horse, fluttered his hands, raised his hat a little, and revealed the eyes of the yin owl, which were Mo Ye.
Mo Ye had a very uncomfortable smile on his face, "Yo! Brother, you're still here to see off your uncle, thank you, thank you, let's go back quickly, the village needs you more! β
I also laughed and pointed to the other man on the snow plow, "Didn't you ask me to take care of the artillery brothers, why did you come back and pick him up?" β
"Hehe, although this mountain cannon is injured, but there is still some strength in both arms, can I use it a little without thinking about it?" Mo Ye's eyes were dripping.
I looked at the big backpacks on the plow, "Two people, two or three days of rations, that seems to be a bit much." I slowly put away my smile, "Master Mo, you two don't want to run away......"
Mo Ye's face also darkened, "Brother Li, now that the matter is over, let's not talk darkly, we are indeed leaving, the snow is a mountain, we may have to starve to death here!" He patted his backpack, "The dry food that Uncle brought is enough for us to eat on the road, let's go together, and when we enter the city, we will find a way to come back and save the villagers." As he spoke, he approached me, and the black bump carefully reminded me from behind, "The old thing seems to have a knife hidden in its sleeve." β
I smiled, "Master Mo, in fact, I already knew that on this trip, you didn't want us to go back alive at all - what kind of treasure is the thousand-year-old ginseng, we all know that the last two years of foreign auctions for more than 1,500 years seems to have a starting price of more than 3 million US dollars...... Since you didn't want to hide it from us at the beginning, then you must have planned it a long time ago, and the day you get the things will be the time when you kill people and monopolize the treasure! Well, I guessed that right......"
Mo Ye smiled dryly, "My brother is indeed shrewd, but I read that we are also brothers and sisters who have lived and died together, and I didn't plan to do it myself, so that you can fend for yourself, but I didn't expect that there is a way in heaven for you not to go...... Well, if you are an uncle, I will give you a ride! As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the cannon on the plough rose to his feet, and was about to throw his gun at me, and the movement was swift and smooth, not at all like a serious wound.
I secretly thought that it seems that he was also pretending to be injured repeatedly, in order to deliberately hide people's eyes and ears and make us relax our vigilance.
But the action of the artillery battle immediately stopped, a black barrel pressed against his temple, and Afie's finger on the trigger, still with that indifferent look.
Mo Ye's face changed, "Let's put everyone down first, we have something to say." β
Ah Fei picked up a few backpacks on the climbing plow with his toes, and all that came out were canned rice and noodles, and they were so ruthless that they seemed to have exhausted all the food they could bring out of the village.
The last largest backpack Ah Fei didn't stir, and when he was bending down to pick it up, the cannon shot back with an elbow, knocking Ah Fei's gun to the ground, and at the same time flew out with a kick, Ah Fei could only dodge and dodge, and when he stood firm, the cannon had already picked up the shotgun and aimed it at her......
Mo Ye smiled strangely, "I gave you a chance, I only blame you for not cherishing it, mountain artillery, do it-"
The artillery was about to shoot when he raised his gun, but he didn't expect another person to jump out next to him, holding a folding shovel in his hand and shooting down-
Syllable!
Hit his wrist, the cannon threw down the gun in pain, turned his head to look, and the fire was on fire, and the sneak attack turned out to be Liang Fang, who had been weak and obedient, and the cannon wanted to rush over, but he was tripped and fell to the ground by Afei's kick, and his body was smashed on the climbing plow, and the things on it suddenly spilled all over the ground, and the things in the big backpack also fell out, I looked at it, and I was instantly stunned......
It was more than a meter long, covered with fibrous roots, and the branches and forks were like clumps of twine, and it was actually an oversized ginseng!
That ginseng must have gone through thousands of years, and the outline of the head, torso, and limbs could be faintly discerned, tightly huddled together, and a formed elf was alive, according to the words of the people in the industry, this is the enlightened ginseng, and her value can no longer be measured by money!
Mo Ye sighed, "Alas! Ladies and gentlemen, since everyone has opened their eyes, I will tell you the truth, this is the real purpose of our trip, 3,700 years old ginseng! Do you know how much someone is asking me? Ten thousand a year! If you cross the middleman and sell abroad, you can't stop doubling it! Now, I'm also out of the way, as long as I can help me transport things back safely, then a few of our brothers will be blessed and shared, and one person will share eight million! When the time comes, I will live happily for the rest of my life, who will do this headless thing! β
There was a light in the black pimple's eyes, and the "more than 30 million ......" saw that I was glaring back at him, and immediately lowered his face again, "This thing is a national treasure, right, how can it fall into the hands of foreigners?!" β
I stared at Mo Ye, "I'm curious to know, where did you get this?" β
"In the villageβ" Mo Ye said, "The wounds on our body are cured by this thing, and the people in the village don't know how expensive her is, and they have destroyed a lot by cutting off the main trunk of the fibrous roots and putting them in medicine, otherwise, the price of the shot will be higher!" Alas, what a bunch of dirt buns, tyrannical creatures! β
"So, you've been eyeing this thing for a long time, pretending to be out of the village for a few days, just to get rid of everyone's surveillance, and then come back after dark, set a fire, and take the opportunity to steal it!" I say.
"Hey, I'm helpless...... Well? Who set the fire? "Mo Ye looked up at me, and I noticed that there was a murderous flash in his eyes, and something slipped out of his sleeve......
