After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 10 The past of Mixiangou!

"It was around the 1960s, when I was only a teenager, about the same age as Pingwazi..."

"Back then, we were so poor that it was hard to find food. I remember it was a winter day when the mountains were blocked by heavy snow. Everyone was starving, so the village chief organized all the men in the village to go hunting in the mountains..."

As if recalling some unbearable memories, Chen Jingzhi's voice trembled slightly.

"We are a group of 26 people. We have been wandering in the mountains for three days, but the prey we caught is not enough for the hunting team to eat..."

"Later, we were at our wit's end, so someone suggested we try our luck in Mixiangou..."

"There are many snakes in the ditch. They hibernate in winter. There shouldn't be any danger. We can dig them out and solve the urgent problem. We will be fine when spring comes next year..."

……

Having said this, Chen Jingzhi sighed and stopped talking, but just kept sighing and lamenting.

"What happened next?" Chen Yang asked.

Chen Jingzhi paused before continuing.

"There were many stories about Mixiangou in the village before. The older generation also liked to tell stories about Mixiangou to scare children."

"So, everyone still has some respect for Mixiangou. If they are not extremely hungry, no one would go there."

"After we arrived at Mixiangou, the village chief asked a few young people to wait outside while he led the others in..."

"Oh, it's too tragic. 18 people went in, but only one uncle from our family came out..."

……

Although many years have passed, Chen Yang still saw a hint of fear in the old man's eyes.

Perhaps this incident has already become an unforgettable nightmare in his heart.

"What did they encounter in there?" Chen Yang was very curious.

Chen Jingzhi shook his head. "I don't know. Uncle San was frightened. He went crazy after he came back. He wouldn't say anything to anyone who asked him. He died a few days later. Some people in the village said that he was frightened by the snake king..."

"Since then, no one in the village dared to go to Mixiangou anymore. Because of this incident, the village built a Snake King Temple on the mountain a few years ago, but it was later destroyed during the "Four Olds" campaign..."

Chen Yang pinched his chin, as if he had just heard a horror story.

"Okay, it's getting late. You have to get up early tomorrow, so go to bed."

The old man patted Chen Yang on the shoulder and said, "When you go to town tomorrow, remember to go to Jimin Pharmacy in Huangge Tree and get me a prescription."

……

After the old man left, Chen Yang lay on the bed and began to think again.

Could it be that this old man made up this story to scare me in order to prevent me from entering the mountains?

If Mixian Gou is really as scary as the old man said, it is indeed the best place to hide things.

What he can be sure of now is that Chen Antai did hide something in the mountains back then.

Moreover, no one has found it for so many years, and [The Story of the Mountains] points out Mixian Gou, so the answer can almost be said to be beyond doubt.

Do you want to go there?

What the old man said was so scary, could it be dangerous?

After thinking about it, I fell asleep again.

……

-

The next morning, Chen Yang was awakened by Song Ping.

This little guy always likes to sleep in, but today he was particularly active and came running here as soon as the day broke.

After a quick wash, Chen Yang borrowed a tricycle from Song Ping's house and set off in the cool morning breeze.

Pingqiang Town.

The magnificent Qingyi River flows around the town.

Li Bai has a poem that says, "The moon on Mount Emei is half a circle in autumn, and its shadow falls into the flowing Pingqiang River." The Pingqiang River in the poem is the Qingyi River.

Looking from the riverside, you can see Mount Emei towering in the distance. When the weather is good, you can even see the Golden Summit with the naked eye.

The older generation likes to call Emei Shao'e. There are many mountains surrounding Shao'e Mountain.

Daqi Mountain, Ebei Mountain, Pangpoling...

These are all branches of Shao'e Mountain. Among all the mountains, Emei stands out, giving people a sense of a big brother leading a group of younger brothers.

Jiapigou Village is only half an hour’s drive from the town. With the developed transportation nowadays, it is not far away.

When they arrived at the town, it was already light. Chen Yang was not familiar with the town, but fortunately he had Song Ping with him so they didn't get lost.

Today is a market day, many shops are already open, and more and more people are coming.

The vegetable market was very busy at the moment. Chen Yang didn't want to bother with it, so he drove directly to Yafeng Restaurant.

He took out his cell phone and made a call. After a while, a decent-looking man walked out of the restaurant.

Zhang Yafeng, 37 years old.

This person's life is like the hero in some period novels. He grew up in a poor family and had a hard time making ends meet with his seriously ill mother and hungry brothers and sisters.

When he was a teenager, he made his first fortune by selling mountain products. After that, he started a wholesale business in the town. Later, he opened a supermarket and built the first high-end restaurant in Pingqiang Town.

Now, their business has expanded to the county.

He is a generous and kind person, and everyone in the town gives him a thumbs up when they talk about him.

In a small place like Pingqiang Town, Zhang Yafeng's life experience can indeed be regarded as a legend.

There are always people guessing how much money he has, but this man is not a show-off. In fact, he has properties in both the county and the city, and he should have assets worth over 100 million.

Just now, Zhang Yafeng was still worried.

Today a tour group from Hong Kong Island is coming to Pingqiang Town. It seems that there are some important people in it. The county has informed the town, and the town leader called him and asked them to prepare a reception at the restaurant. Moreover, he specified a dish, chicken mushroom.

Early in the morning, he asked someone to check the vegetable market, but found that there was nothing for sale.

If I had known this earlier, I would have saved some of the chicken mushrooms I harvested the day before yesterday.

This thing is hard to come by, and it was also his fault that he was too greedy. That day, the town leader happened to be entertaining merchants, so he asked someone to send a plate of chicken mushrooms over.

Now that people have tasted it, they ordered the dish directly today. Where can I find chicken mushrooms in such a short time?

Just when he was thinking about calling his boss to explain the situation, a strange phone call came in, which made him overjoyed.

The door of the restaurant.

Chen Yang lifted the backpack weighing dozens of kilograms with one hand. His strengthened body was nothing to be underestimated.

"Oh my, young man, you have incredible strength."

Zhang Yafeng praised him and greeted him with a smile, "Were you the one who called me just now?"

Chen Yang nodded and said, "I dug up some mountain products. I wonder if you, Boss Zhang, will accept them?"

Lift up the clothes covering the backpack.

"so much?"

Zhang Yafeng's eyes widened.

A large backpack is full of chicken mushrooms.

He was also a kid from the mountains and started out by selling mountain products, so naturally he knew what goods were. However, this was the first time he had seen so many chicken mushrooms.

Chen Yang smiled, "It's a bit much. If you can't buy it here, I'll sell it at the vegetable market."

"Yes, of course I will. I will accept as many as you want."

Zhang Yafeng recovered from his shock and then was overjoyed. He quickly called the two security guards at the door and carried the backpack into the restaurant.
