Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 87
After dealing with the three wild geese, Wang Manyin saw that it was getting late, so he prepared to wash up and go to bed.

There is no way, now is no better than later generations, and there is no entertainment at night... As for the books bought for Lanhua, he can't read them at all.

After experiencing the storm of online novels in later generations, Wang Manyin always feels that the novels of this era do not conform to his reading habits.

In addition, reading in front of a kerosene lamp at night is far more comfortable than lying on the kang with your mother-in-law in your arms.

In this era, there are many broken babies in various families. One of the important reasons is that there are no entertainment activities at night.I really don't know what else to do except sleep.

Before Wang Manyin put his feet in the basin, he heard the dogs in the village barking.

Then, Rhubarb barked wildly.

"Man Yin, go and have a look, it won't be a wolf again!" Lan Hua shouted hastily.

Since there were two wolves in the village, she was much more vigilant now.

Not only did people have nothing to eat, but there was also a shortage of food in the mountains. It was the time when the wild wolves went down the mountain.

Wang Manyin put on her shoes and walked out of the cave in a panic.I saw lights on in many houses in the direction of the village, and vaguely heard noisy discussions.

On the opposite side of the deep ditch, Wang Qiusheng also stood on the sidelines and looked around.

"Brother Qiusheng, can you hear what is being shouted?" Wang Manyin shouted at the top of his voice.

"I can't hear clearly, it seems to be looking for Uncle Fu's Jia Junxiang!"

Wang Junxiang is the eldest of Wang Fu's family, and is of the same generation as Wang Manyin. He is in his 20s this year, and he already has two children in his family.

"What's wrong with Brother Junxiang, let's go and have a look." Wang Manyin explained to Lan Hua, and walked towards the village together with Wang Qiusheng.

Not far away, I met a man rushing towards with a kerosene lamp. It was Junxiang's second father, Wang Shouchang.

"Uncle Shouchang, what's the matter, Junxiang can't be found?" Wang Qiusheng continued the conversation and asked.

"Don't mention it, this donkey day coward sees that he doesn't have much firewood at home. He didn't go to the production team to earn work points in the afternoon. He went to the mountains to collect firewood. He hasn't come back yet." Wang Shouchang explained, and asked anxiously: "You didn't See someone?"

The two shook their heads.

Wang Manyin said puzzledly: "His mother-in-law and aunt didn't see anyone when they had dinner at night, why didn't they look for him?"

"Didn't our team divide the wild goose meat tonight? Some families got together to tie the knot. Her mother-in-law thought that Junxiang was just messing around with her, so she didn't care. Seeing that the man didn't come home in the middle of the night, she was in a hurry Come out and find."

"When dividing the meat, I didn't seem to see Junxiang." Wang Manyin recalled carefully and replied hesitantly.

At that time, there were too many people and the scene was chaotic, so he was not sure.

"Where will this coward go at night?" Wang Shouchang asked worriedly.He asked more than a dozen households just now, but they all said that he hadn't seen anyone.

While talking, Wang Fuchang and others rushed over.

"Brother, what's the matter, did you find anyone?"

"Second Dad, after we finished asking people from the first team and the second team, they all said that we haven't seen Junxiang since this afternoon... He doesn't know what happened to firewood in the mountains?" cry.

Hearing this, the faces of several people changed.

If there is no one in the village, there is a high probability of encountering an accident in the mountains.

The firewood on the nearby mountain had been cut down long ago, so I had to go to the cliffside in the farther mountain to collect firewood.

Often in these places, good firewood that can withstand fire grows.Therefore, there are many people who break their legs every year while collecting firewood.If Wang Manyin hadn't grabbed the jujube tree roots in time last time, he would probably have fallen to his death.

What's more, there are wolves in the mountains.

"Don't cry, it's important to find someone, what's the use of crying now,"

Wang Fuchang said that he had his own ideas. Although he was very anxious, he did not mess up the rules: "There are two children at home, you go back and greet them first. I will go to the captain, and Shouchang will go to Yanqiang. Let us have a few more people in the second team Go into the mountains and help find..."

"My dog ​​can also come in handy." Wang Manyin interrupted hastily.

"Yes, yes, Man Yin, bring the rhubarb from your family." Wang Shouchang nodded repeatedly.

The last time he tracked wild wolves on a snowy night, Rhubarb left a deep impression on the villagers.

There was another burst of dog barking and people shouting, and soon many people in the village were called.

Wang Fu's eldest family, Ding Wang, has three sons in total.The eldest Wang Junxiang, the second and third are twins named Junhai and Junchuan.

His cave dwellings are also the most in Guanzi Village, with a total of five holes.

At the end of last year, when the dividend was distributed, Wang Fuchang connected two and a half boys, and distributed a total of more than 100 yuan, which made the villagers jealous.

As for the eldest son Wang Junxiang, the family was separated in name after marriage, but he actually still lives with his parents.

When Wang Manyin arrived with rhubarb, Wang Junxiang's mother-in-law immediately took out a rag.

Under everyone's gaze, this guy sniffed it, then searched around in the courtyard, and quickly ran straight out of the courtyard.

"Follow up..." Wang Yanqiang commanded immediately.

More than 20 people carried wind lanterns and shovels to follow.

Rhubarb kept sniffing on the dirt road, and soon entered the dirt road behind the village.

"Junxiang really went to the back mountain..." Someone muttered in a low voice, but they didn't dare to say anything unlucky.

Unexpectedly, Rhubarb led the crowd around the back mountain, and ran towards the village along the dirt road.

"Man Yin, you're not looking in the wrong direction, are you?" Wang Yanqiang couldn't help asking questions as he walked more and more wrongly.

This dirt road leads directly to the Shigejie Commune, so how could it be possible to go here for firewood cutting.

"I don't know either," Wang Manyin was also a little confused.

Logically speaking, Wang Junxiang would indeed not go in this direction.

But my own rhubarb didn't seem to lose its smell, and it almost didn't stop all the way, and it seemed that the purpose was very clear.

"Why don't you take a few people to look south, and I'll lead the rest to the mountains to shout?" Wang Yanqiang thought for a while.

"Alright," Wang Manyin did not dare to insist.

In this way, he took Wang Shouchang, Wang Qiusheng and Wang Shuhai, and followed Da Huang forward.

As the four people guessed, Dahuang Rao didn't stop at the entrance of the village, and continued to run towards Shigejie.

After walking another four or five miles, Wang Shouchang couldn't help asking again: "Manyin, why do I feel that rhubarb is not reliable this time. Even if Junxiang gets lost, he can't make it to Shige Festival, right? Why don't we go back and let rhubarb go to the stone festival? Smell it."

They have now reached the boundary of Shigejie Village, and after walking a few miles, they can go directly to the commune to go to the market.No matter how stupid Wang Junxiang was, it was impossible for him to collect firewood in the commune.

"I've already come here, let's look forward!"

In fact, Wang Manyin was also guilty of Ji Gu in his heart, but now everyone has no goal, so they can only pin their hopes on Da Huang for the time being.

"Alright," Wang Shouchang nodded helplessly.

As a result, just after turning over a high slope, Rhubarb suddenly barked a few times as if stimulated by something, and rushed into the darkness like crazy.

"Ah...Wori, your ancestor, where are you wild dogs, get out of here!!" Immediately afterwards, a panicked voice was heard from the darkness.

"Junxiang, it's Junxiang's voice." Wang Shouchang shouted excitedly, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Is it Junxiang? I'm your second dad."

"Second Dad, why are you here?"

Wang Manyin rushed to the front and shouted: "Rhubarb, come back!"

When several people approached, they saw that Wang Junxiang was holding a wooden stick in his hand and a hatchet pinned to his waist.

"What's the matter with you, you bastard, you really went to the Shige Festival to chop firewood..." Wang Shouchang reprimanded his nephew when he saw his nephew.

"I... I... was bored thinking about collecting firewood, so I went around the commune." Wang Junxiang replied with a guilty conscience.

"What's going on? To be honest, don't fool me. How can you only come back now after wandering around the commune? Half the people in the village have come out to look for you." Naturally, Wang Shouchang didn't believe the nonsense of the other party.

"What, why are you making such a big commotion?" Wang Junxiang was taken aback.

Under the coercion of his second father, he faltered and said: "I'm just... bored, I went to Shigejie Village to play a few buckles, and I accidentally forgot the time, so I just came back now!"

"You bastard, you are getting more and more courageous, you still dare to gamble!" Without further ado, Wang Shouchang slapped him across the face.

The so-called "Gu Ming Bao" is a way of gambling on the Loess Plateau.Mingbao is composed of a treasure shell and a treasure heart. The treasure shell is generally made of wood and shaped like a small square bowl, which in turn clasps the treasure heart.

The gameplay is not complicated, and it is very similar to the dice shakers of later generations.Someone acts as the banker and is responsible for releasing the treasure, and the bettor bets money according to his own judgment.

Buy it and leave it, and then let the treasurer uncover the treasure shell, and calculate the winner or loser according to the different positions of the mortgage.

In addition to "Knocking Treasure", there are also "Old Solitaire", "Dice" (dice), and "Pushing Pai Gow" on the Loess Plateau, all of which are often played by rural people.
