After explaining the location of the next handover with Li Ming, Wang Mingyuan rode three wheels late at night and teleported back to Zhangjiaao.

When I returned to the bedroom, sure enough, the bed was intimately taken away and stored by Han Xiaoling.

There was a strange sound in the corner of the wall, he took out the electric baton to switch the lighting mode, followed the sound to find it, and found that the iron cat that had been supporting for a long time finally gave strength once, clamping the front feet of a big mouse, and was already dying.

He immediately found a stick, knocked the mouse to death, and threw it into the woods with his tail.

Hearing the sound, the kerosene lamp on Han Xiaoling's side quickly lit up, she quietly opened the crack in the door and looked outside, and found that it was Wang Mingyuan who came back, and her expression immediately became happy. She hurriedly opened the box and sent the cover to Wang Mingyuan.

"The day you left, the captain came to look for you!"

"What's the matter?"

"He didn't say anything, he just didn't look good!"

Wang Mingyuan was a little unclear: "I'll ask Uncle Zhang tomorrow, he may know...... I'm going to have to get something to eat later, let's eat some together? ”

Chen Jinxue came to look for it with an unsightly face, there must be something wrong again, and he has to ask carefully.

"Good!"

Hearing that Wang Mingyuan was about to make food, Han Xiaoling nodded subconsciously, and then shook it twice embarrassedly: "I...... It's been dinner. ”

Han Xiaoling's somewhat awkward reaction made Wang Mingyuan want to laugh, this was obviously wanting to eat, but he felt that he had already eaten dinner and was embarrassed to eat again.

"I know you had an early dinner, so if you eat a little more, it's time for supper...... Craving something? Wang Mingyuan asked.

I stayed in Lixian for a few days in a row, and I ate a lot of good things, but most of them were just fresh, and when it came to the real taste, it had to be the longer taste that I was used to.

Just like many people in Yunnan Province go out to work in other provinces, those sweets and seafood, the first experience, I think it's not bad, but after a long time, I still miss the taste of my hometown.

This is the same within the scope of Yun Province, even if the location is not far away, there are some differences in taste after all, and some are not used to it.

Suddenly asked by Wang Mingyuan what she wanted to eat, Han Xiaoling was slightly stunned.

In the past, she ate whatever Wang Mingyuan ate, but now when asked like this, she suddenly had a different feeling, she thought about it and said with a smile: "I want to eat noodles!" ”

"Okay......" Wang Mingyuan nodded: "Help make a fire and boil water, and I'll make noodles." ”

Quickly reconciled the noodles, and took advantage of the moment to wake up, Wang Mingyuan went to the thatched house with a kerosene lamp, took a closer look, and found that Zhang Shouzhong used homemade soil cement to make the thatched house and septic tank for him The effect was actually very good, not to mention the slightest sign of cracking, the hardness was not low.

"One Sword Alone"

Sure enough, the wisdom of the people, many times, don't look down, don't feel dirty, can always make people have surprises.

……

"Xiao Wang...... If you're awake, open the door! ”

Early the next morning, Wang Mingyuan woke up to the sound of Zhang Shouzhong's loud door panels and shouts.

He patted his head, which looked a little groggy and swollen because of lack of sleep, put on his clothes, and opened the door: "Third uncle, you call it like you want to kill someone, I'm afraid that the timid will be scared to death by you, so dare to sleep." ”

"You kid, if I hadn't seen your tricycle in the morning, I wouldn't have known that you were back, I was in a hurry to die in the past two days, didn't you make a meritorious service, Instructor Wu, who came last time, sent someone to come again, saying that there was a commendation meeting in the county, and let you go to the Armed Forces Department of Mang County the day after tomorrow...... You go, there is no news at all, you are really anxious, don't run around in the past two days, such a big thing, Instructor Wu personally named it, you must arrive. ”

Zhang Shouzhong said anxiously.

"That's it!" Wang Mingyuan smiled bitterly: "Isn't there still two days, don't worry!" ”

The time is quite coincidental, just in time to return to 2023, bring things back, and hand them over to Li Ming and others to sell, anyway, they have to go to Mangxian to run this experience, by the way.

Wang Mingyuan thought for a while, and then asked, "Third uncle, do you know why the captain came to me?" I heard Xiaoling say that his face was not very good. ”

"I don't know ...... this," Zhang Shouzhong said: "When Instructor Wu came down, I went to the team once and took a photo, but he didn't tell me anything...... By the way, nine times out of ten, he came to you because of the locust catch. ”

Wang Mingyuan frowned slightly: "What do you say?" ”

"It's not Chenjiagou's few, during this time, I catch locusts every day, and the movement is too big, and the entire production team knows about it...... I heard that the captain went to yell a few times, but they didn't know how to restrain at all, and they were doing it behind their backs, captain, it should be because of this that he was angry, and you didn't know his attitude......

Zhang Shouzhong simply said his guess according to the situation.

When Wang Mingyuan heard this, he also felt that it was very likely that the captain Chen Jinxue would come to him because of this incident.

However, this is a situation that Wang Mingyuan has already thought of.

The reason why a few militiamen from Chenjiagou were brought in last time was purely to give him a convenience when patrolling the border in the future, so that he could have the opportunity to resell the things brought from 2023 to make money.

In fact, at this time, Wang Mingyuan can adjust it at any time, and it is not the key.

The main reason is that he clearly feels that the waters around Zhangjiaao, after such a long time of capture, can obtain less and less dried locusts.

900 yuan a pound of dried locusts, so a profitable business, there is no reason not to do it, pull them in, the main reason is to get more dried grasshoppers.

Moreover, Wang Mingyuan also knows that this matter, even if a few people pat their chests and promise to act in a low-key manner, they will not be able to hide it for long, Zhang Shouzhong and the examples of several families making money are placed there, how can a few people who are highly stimulated really be able to act in a low-key manner under the noses of so many people.

The people in the mountains are simple, but they also have their own shrewdness.

What's more, the captain Chen Jinxue himself knows the ins and outs of the matter, but he just doesn't want to take the risk of becoming a model.

"Alas, it's only been a few days, and things are getting uproar......"

Wang Mingyuan didn't expect that things would come much faster than he expected.

He vaguely felt that he would be in some trouble, and he was not ready to deal with it.

"I asked in private, and the original families were also very low-key, and they all said that they were for food, but Chen Jiawang and his mother-in-law were a little broken-mouthed, and they didn't control it, and they leaked it out, and they all knew that you were collecting it here. I heard that many people even went to the captain's house to ask if they had accepted it, and of course, several people came to our Zhangjiaao to ask...... It is estimated that now, other production teams are afraid that some people will know. ”

Zhang Shouzhong said with some concern: "This matter, the impact is really great, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in the future." ”

"It's okay, the commune has a purchasing station to collect all kinds of things, medicinal herbs, local chickens, game, fur and whatever, aren't there people collecting them? It is not uncommon for some buyers from large places to also go to the countryside frequently. ”

Wang Mingyuan comforted.

"Xiao Wang, tell me the truth, can this grasshopper really make medicine?" Zhang Shouzhong asked uneasily.

"Of course!" Wang Mingyuan said with certainty.

"Do you really have relatives shopping?" Zhang Shouzhong looked at Wang Mingyuan steadily.

"This ...... Of course I have relatives to purchase, otherwise, where would I get so much money? Wang Mingyuan smiled a little weakly.

"You're not telling the truth!"

Wang Mingyuan's hesitation was keenly captured by Zhang Shouzhong, and he wondered: "Are you reselling medicinal herbs?" That's speculation. I've heard of people collecting medicinal herbs everywhere and then making money through shady channels...... That's a big deal! ”

"Third uncle, we've known each other for so long, you don't believe me?"

Wang Mingyuan took a long breath: "Don't worry about this, if the captain really comes to me because of this matter, I will explain it to him, don't worry." ”

When Zhang Shouzhong heard this, he didn't say anything more, but his face became more and more solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he still seemed worried.

After Zhang Shouzhong led everyone to work, Wang Mingyuan himself had no idea of going back to sleep.

He thought about it and found that he was still too impulsive at the beginning, always thinking of using the ideas he knew to be applied to these people who had not yet been baptized by the tide of open-mindedness, and he should not have told Chen Jinxue what he wanted so unsteadily at that time, the intention to make money was too obvious, and the source of suspicion had been planted there, and it was destined to have a lot of trouble.

Right now, the best thing to do is to put the evidence on the table and prove that you are above board.

But what to do?
