Reborn 1980, Mountains Have Spirits, I Have Fields

Chapter 45
Early on Saturday morning, Wang Qiang took his family to run up the mountain.

"There are yew trees on our mountain, which are very precious. Ma Jianjun bid five yuan for a catty of bark! We have to make money before others know about it."

Wu Fenzhu was puzzled and excited: "The bark can be sold for five yuan a catty? Is there such a good thing? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"Why lie to you? Someone in Luoxia Village has already got the money. I saw it with my own eyes." Wang Qiang scanned the forest inch by inch. "I saw this kind of tree when I was a child, it should be in this direction."

Wang Guichuan also said: "Indeed there is. I remember it too."

Seeing her daughter lagging behind, Wu Fenzhu pinched her arm: "Didn't you listen to your brother? Why are you being lazy? Find it quickly!"

Xiujuan worked for several days and ate very little. She usually relied on Lingmei to feed her a full meal in the morning. Today, she didn't even have time to go to the field for breakfast. She only drank some noodle soup at home and came out. She was already hungry To be superficial, you have to cheer up and climb the mountain.

Fortunately, her brother was not strong enough, so Wu Fenzhu had to stop and wait for her son.

The family walked all morning, and finally found a thick yew tree by the side of the mountain road.

Wang Qiang was ecstatic, he picked up the ax and chopped it down.

Lingmei's forehead suddenly hurt, and Jin Yuanbao said: "Someone is cutting down the yew tree."

May was taken aback.Fortunately, she was studying in her own room, and immediately entered the space to check.

Zooming in on the mountain map, she saw Wang Qiang's family of three frantically scraping the bark of the yew tree!

Seeing that a century-old tree is about to be destroyed by them!
Mei was extremely angry.She found the snake nest she used last time with familiarity, and gave instructions: "Get rid of them!" After a pause, "Don't hurt that girl."

Xiujuan was the first to discover the snake shadow.There were rustling sounds in the grass, and when she concentrated her attention, she saw a big snake as thick as a washbasin leading a huge group of snakes swimming towards them.

She screamed: "Snakes, lots of snakes."

They are all old people in the mountains. Wang Guichuan had been prepared for a long time. He took the realgar and was about to sprinkle it out when his legs became so weak that he almost fell to the ground.

"Go, go!" He grabbed his son and pointed to the grass, "We have stepped into a snake den! Run away!"

When did Guichuan's mother and son see this battle, they were so frightened that they rolled all the way down the mountain in embarrassment.

"Son. What should I do?" Wu Fenzhu patted her chest. Her clothes were torn and her hair was loose. Her body was covered with cuts and bruises.

Wang Qiang was not much better: "Damn it. The duck with its mouth flew away."

"Do you want to find some more people to go up the mountain together?" Wang Guichuan was also reluctant to part with the money. "One catty of bark is five yuan, and twenty catties can earn one hundred yuan. That big tree has at least thirty to fifty catties of bark."

The money is moving.

Wang Qiang hesitated: "But there are so many snakes—I think there are poisonous snakes in those."

Wang Guichuan thought for a while, then stared at Xiujuan, "Xiujuan will go up the mountain to check again."

Xiujuan was out of her wits and was already trying to hold on, but when she heard her father's words, she rolled her eyes in fright and fainted to the ground.

Wu Fenzhu was furious, and kicked her on the waist: "What are you pretending to do! If you pretend to be dead again, I'll feed you to the snake!"

"What are you doing?" Wang Guichuan grabbed his wife. "Don't even look at where this is!"

Wu Fenzhu looked around, and it turned out that they had already reached the entrance of the village, and not far away was Dr. Zhu's yard.

Wang Guichuan pinched his daughter among the people, but she was a little scared when she didn't wake up.

Wu Fenzhu said in distaste: "Don't worry. I'm sure it's okay. It's just that I ate too little in the morning and I'm hungry. Just go back and drink some rice soup."

Wang Guichuan had no choice but to help Xiujuan go home.

After arriving home, Hongcun came to the door.

Hong Cun watched them throw Xiujuan on the chair casually, and asked, "What's wrong with Xiujuan?"

Wu Fenzhu hurriedly laughed along: "Young girl is timid, she was fainted by the snake on the mountain."

Hong Cun couldn't bear to look at the sallow and emaciated girl.But he knew the temperament of the Wang family, if he said a few more words for Xiujuan, he was afraid that they would turn around and turn into Jiali who abused the girl.

"What did you go up the mountain for?" Hong Cun said directly, "I heard people say that you went up the mountain with axes?"

Wang Guichuan and his son looked at each other: "I just want to chop some firewood or something, catch a hare and make a tooth sacrifice."

Hong Cun snorted, and said flatly: "I remind you. Xianyun Mountain is blessed by mountain gods. The disaster was so severe a few years ago, we all survived by the output of this mountain. There are some people on the mountain Things, you can't touch them. Be careful to ruin your own luck."

Wang Guichuan's cheeks trembled, thinking of the strange snakes, he couldn't help nodding: "Hongcun is right. You are right."

Hong Cun left with his hands behind his back.

He had heard that someone outside was buying yew bark.

Ling Mei just came to the village committee and mentioned that Wang Guichuan's family took an axe to the mountain, probably to chop down yew trees.But, although the country is now closing the mountain, it is protecting wild animals, and it has not listed the yew as a protected plant. He stopped others for no reason, and the teacher came out of nowhere.But Director Sun, who was sent by Secretary Zhang to deliver the rice flower fish breeding manual, reminded him last time that he should continue to pay attention to the protection of the yew.There is no other way but to bite the bullet and scare them.

Unexpectedly, he didn't take a few steps, and Director Yang stopped beside him on his bicycle: "Village chief, it's not good. Go to the bottom of the mountain and have a look."

Hong Cun asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"A lot of people, from the town and the village next door, are coming to our Xianyun Mountain. There are big and small bags, I don't know what they are going to do!"

Hong Cun stumbled: "Oops! Come on, you entangle the strong men in the village, we can't let them go up the mountain to cut trees!"

The men in the field heard the broadcast, put down their work and rushed to the foot of the mountain together.The two parties formed a confrontation.

Li Qingjiang is still the captain, he said with a half-smile: "Hongcun. Xianyun Mountain is not your Yunlai Village. Why can't we go up?"

Hong Cun smiled kindly: "Comrade Li, the weather on the mountain has been changing recently. Comrade Li brought so many people here, are you afraid of encountering danger again?"

Li Qingjiang's face turned red: "We will go down the mountain as soon as possible."

Hong Cun frowned, feeling that something was wrong.Last time these people came back in shock, why are they making a comeback without fear of death?

"It doesn't matter whether you go up the mountain to measure the terrain or search for yews." Hongcun said directly, "but you can't harm the precious resources on our mountain."

Li Qingjiang couldn't help being surprised: Hongcun actually knew that the yew was valuable?

"There are gods on our mountain." The old man in the village walked slowly. "The yew is planted by a fairy. Don't touch it, don't touch it."

The corner of Li Qingjiang's mouth twitched slightly: "Grandpa, we are in a new society now, it's all in the 80s. Don't talk about ghosts and gods."

"Ghosts and gods are in the heart." The old man pointed to the heart, "There are gods three feet up."

How could Li Qingjiang give up?For five yuan a catty of bark, finding a yew tree nets at least 150 yuan. 150 yuan, how many fry does his family have to sell?If he can find one more yew forest, he will prosper.Thousands of households are just around the corner!

He saw that Xiao Yueshan was also among the group that blocked him from going up the mountain, and his heart moved.

"Tell everyone the truth." Li Qingjiang sighed softly. "We really came here for the yew tree. Because the yew tree has medicinal properties and can cure diseases. So now someone buys the bark of the yew tree. It costs five yuan per catty!" He stretched out his palm, "Five yuan per catty. Folks!"

Xiao Yueshan frowned more and more as he listened.There has been an uproar around.The ears were filled with excited discussions one after another.

"Really? Yew is so valuable?"

"I also heard some news that there are indeed people harvesting tree bark in the town. I didn't expect it to be true. Yueshan, is there a yew on our mountain?"

Hearts float.

Wang Qiang was also in the crowd and immediately suggested: "Instead of letting other people take advantage of our village, why don't we find the tree and sell it ourselves."

"That's right. What Gui Chuan said makes sense."

Yue Shan clenched his fists and objected loudly: "No."
