Zhang Xuebing finally said his plan to buy land.

After all, this gold mine was discovered by Xiong Zhan and Jiaomujiao, and the two of them also scored a large share, so Zhang Xuebing still planned to make a good deal with him.

Jiaomu Jiao, who was standing guard from the side, also listened to it in his ears, and nodded again and again and said that Zhang Xuebing thought thoughtfully.

However, Xiong Zhan said directly, "Why are you thinking about it so much, if these are gold, I want these that we have picked up, there are really mineral veins in the mountains, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it!" ”

He thought that a small fortune was peace, and no matter how big the wealth was, he couldn't afford it, and he didn't dare to think about those distant things.

Jiaomu Jiao also nodded and said, "When we develop to the point where we have the ability to develop this mine, I don't know how many years later, I can't say whether we can live until then, and I agree with Little Bear!" ”

Xiong Zhan nodded and said, "Boss, you have the ability to develop that ore vein, we are not greedy, these found servants can be divided equally, this mountain looking at that mountain is not my style!" ”

Zhang Xuebing said indifferently but firmly, "If it is something valuable, these are indispensable to you, I have already had a plan for that mine, you can rest assured, as long as it is developed, everyone will have a share!" ”

For Zhang Xuebing's credit, the two of them will never question it, and a warm feeling rises in their hearts at the same time.

I was going to give up that gold mine, and I had to give a share, how could they not be moved and admire Zhang Xuebing's generosity.

It was late at night, but it was not very cold in the wilderness in winter, and Zhang Xuebing finally fell asleep in a nervous mood.

It wasn't until he was woken up by Xiong Zhan that he thought something was wrong, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the sky was already dark.

"Why didn't you tell me to get up for the night?"

Xiong Zhan smiled innocently, "Look at you sleeping soundly, Brother Laojiao is worth it for you, and it can be regarded as an apology for yesterday's incident!" ”

The smell of broth wafted over the campfire.

Jiaomu Jiao compresses biscuits with leftover rabbit bones, meat and wild vegetables from yesterday, and is making breakfast by the campfire.

This may be the last hot meal they have before they see the human population, and the next time they want to eat it can only be after finding a human track, or if they are lucky enough to catch the prey again.

Zhang Xuebing simply scrubbed his face, made meat and vegetable porridge with them, and then cleaned up and stopped, and the servants embarked on a long journey.

The world is vast, vast, the wind and frost are blowing, and the cold wind is biting. After determining the direction, they trampled on the snow and the cold wind for two days before they found a small village.

To their surprise, the people in this village turned out to be all Chinese faces, and they spoke authentic Guanwai dialect.

Let them think that they have gone back to the country.

The small village is not big, and there are only twenty or thirty families from a distance.

It is also surrounded by desolate land, and the village is backed by a series of mountains, which seems isolated from the world but retains the fireworks of the world.

When Zhang Xuebing and the others just walked outside the village, they caused a commotion.

When a few children who were building snowmen outside the village saw them, they fled in panic as if they had encountered bandits.

Soon, the village adults rushed out with all kinds of farm tools and shotguns.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuebing shouted-we are from China!

Only then did the misunderstanding be cleared up, and he was welcomed in by the villagers.

They were first housed in an empty stone house, and waited for a long time before they met the head of the village, an old man with gray hair who was over half a hundred years old.

The village chief introduced himself, "This village is called Huojia Village, almost all the people in the village are surnamed Huo, his own name is Huo Jueyuan, they came from China to take refuge during the war, and they have been here for more than three generations, and they are rooted in a foreign country, and they never want to return to China again!" ”

As he spoke, someone from outside came in and brought a large pot of tea and a few baskets of steamed buns, and the fire in the house was lit.

Huo Jueyuan, the village head, pointed to something and said, "Our village is poor, so we make a living by farming and hunting, and there is nothing good to entertain you in this cold weather, so let's drink hot tea first and eat some cabbage buns to fill our stomachs!" ”

Since yesterday, they haven't eaten seriously, and they have long been hungry.

However, as Chinese people, they are still reserved, and they eat cabbage vegetarian buns in small bites, while listening to the old village chief Huo Jueyuan tell the life and stories here.

There are still 21 families in their village, with a population of less than 100, most of whom are middle-aged.

If this development continues, it will not be many years before the entire village will be cut off from population and submerged under this vast snowfield.

Xiong Zhan asked while eating steamed buns, "Isn't it okay to go back to China or go to live near Vostok?" At least it's better than here! ”

Huo Jueyuan smiled bitterly, "Where is it so easy, not to mention returning to China, is there a place for us, if you go to Vostok, there may not be a place for us, and you need to pay food over there!" ”

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and an individual has a personal difficulty.

Zhang Xuebing ate salty and delicious steamed buns, and thought in his heart that the life of people here is so difficult, and they can still take out white noodles and cabbage to make steamed buns to entertain guests, I am afraid that they will not be willing to eat it during the New Year.

For their simplicity, kindness and hospitality, Zhang Xuebing couldn't help but think of Zhangjia Village in the poor period, and his heart was a little moved and excited.

He pondered that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely improve the living environment of the villagers in Huojia Village, at least let them solve the crisis of food and clothing.

Zhang Xuebing ate three buns, then stopped, and began to ask the village chief Huo Jueyuan about the path to Vostok and where there were passing vehicles to take a ride.

Vostok is a very distant place for the villagers of Huojia Village, they only know where the road in front of them can lead, but no one has ever been there.

Huo Jueyuan said, "Our place here is really remote, too far away from the road and the city, and there is no wave of guests all year round, only in the late autumn every year, there are leather goods dealers passing by, we exchange the leather goods for them for a little living materials, and no one in the whole village has ever been to that city!" ”

"As for the ride, I think the only way to do it is to get to the side of the road!" The village chief finally added.

Seeing that Zhang Xuebing and they didn't eat it, Huo Jueyuan called someone to clean up the rest of the buns.

The person who came to clean up was still full of joy, and it seemed that he had been coveting these white breads for a long time.

Huo Jueyuan asked people to bring hot water and some firewood, so that they could live in this room.

After the village chief left, Zhang Xuebing and his party discussed it, and they would leave for the highway tomorrow morning, and as for the supplies on their bodies, they would try to see if they could buy some from Huojia Village.

At this moment, it was still early before dark, Xiong Zhan was an idle character, and when everything was settled, he walked out of the door when he was bored.

The icy village is peaceful and silent, and almost every household is closed.

Xiong Zhan walked around half the village and didn't meet anyone, just when he wanted to return to the big house, he suddenly heard someone shouting, he walked curiously, and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him!
