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

Chapter 70 Selling snake gall, Pangpoling!
"Brother Yang, was that the eldest sister-in-law or the second sister-in-law?"

"What?"

"Hey, Jiang Xiaofan is not..."

"Don't talk nonsense."

……

Riverside.

Huang Can was talking to Song Daneng about something. When he saw Chen Yang coming back, he immediately started gossiping with a smug look on his face.

Of course Chen Yang would not give him a good look.

Huang Can laughed dryly, "I think this one is pretty good now, gentle and pretty. I heard from Uncle Da Neng that she is a Chinese teacher. She is a good teacher, unlike Jiang Xiaofan, who is violent and hurts people when he beats them. Hehe, I am very satisfied!"

"What does it have to do with you?"

"Her last name is Huang, and mine is Huang too, we are from the same family!"

"Pull it aside!"

Chen Yang rolled his eyes and turned to Song Daneng and said, "Uncle Daneng, have you bought everything?"

"I'm ready. I've been waiting for you!"

Song Daneng laughed twice, "It's getting late, hurry up and get in the car..."

The two men nimbly climbed into the truck bed.

Song Daneng stepped on the engine and twisted the accelerator a few times. The car rushed out with a rumble, trailing a cloud of black smoke.

In the truck bed, the river breeze blows on your face, making it very refreshing.

"Take it."

Huang Can took out a stack of banknotes from his backpack, counted a bunch, and handed them to Chen Yang.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Yang looked at him in surprise. Why would he give me money for no reason?
"I went to the county town today and stopped by Taihe Hall to sell snake gallbladders. I made a total of 4080 yuan. This is your share, 2000 yuan, and 80 yuan is my travel expenses."

As he said that, Huang Can stuffed the money into Chen Yang's hand.

Chen Yang suddenly realized.

This guy went to sell snake gall.

However, he really didn't want this money.

He stuffed the money back and said, "You sold it yourself. It has nothing to do with me. Keep it for yourself."

"I sell the snake gall, but you killed the snake. I, Huang Can, don't like to take advantage of others. Do you look down on me or do you think it's not enough?" Huang Can looked displeased.

Chen Yang's face trembled.

To be honest, after hearing about Huang Can's life story, he did feel a little sympathy for him.

But he also knew that this guy had a strong sense of self-esteem.

He didn't refuse anymore and took the money. "I'll take it. Is that okay?"

Huang Can smiled, and then said, "Doctor Wang from Taihetang told me that they are now buying two medicinal herbs at high prices, centipedes and black ants. Centipedes can be sold for 5-8 yuan each, and black ants can be sold for 200 yuan per pound. I think it's very promising. When can we go into the mountains again? It's a good opportunity for me to take some videos..."

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, "We just came out, and you want to go back into the mountains. Can't you just be quiet for a few days?"

“You have to make money early.”

Huang Can shrugged. "The centipedes in Centipede Ridge are rampant. If we go there, it's no problem for each of us to catch thousands of them..."

Centipede Ridge?
Chen Yang couldn't help but think of the Polygonum multiflorum.

"As for black ants, I don't know about other places, but there are definitely a lot of them in Ant Hill."

Huang Can spoke very excitedly, his eyes shining with the light of money.

"I have to accompany my grandfather to Pangpoling these two days. Let's talk about it when I come back." Chen Yang replied.

Huang Can didn't say anything, just nodded, "Alright, Uncle Da Neng also wants to rest for two days, then I will go back to Huangjia Village tomorrow and bury my grandfather's remains..."

"Want to help?"

In the village, neighbors are required to help at weddings or funerals, especially funerals.

Huang Can waved his hand. "My grandfather's birthplace was built when my father was alive. There are no relatives there. My sister and I will go back, bury the bones, set off some firecrackers, and then go to my father's grave to report..."

Shengji, in Linjiang County, refers to the grave.

This kind of thing should be considered a big event in the village, and a big banquet is inevitable. But Huang Can's family is special, and his hometown is in another village, so it is reasonable to do so.

Chen Yang didn't say much. If he didn't hold a banquet, he would save the money on gifts.

……

-

The weather in June and August really changes suddenly.

When I was in the town, the sun was still out, but as soon as I returned to the village, it started to drizzle.

The dark clouds and mountains mixed together, like a ball of light ink, spreading out a painting.

Mount Emei in the distance looks like a pretty girl, hidden in the curtain-like white mist.

The mist and rain were hazy, and water was dripping from the eaves.

After simply stir-frying two side dishes and pairing them with the braised pork and peanuts that Chen Yang had bought, Chen Jingzhi poured half a glass of monkey wine and sat in front of the hall to drink it.

The black tiger squatted at his feet, gnawing on the bones and meat on the ground, looking up from time to time, expecting charity from his master.

This wine is really good. I drank half a glass last night and actually felt that my pains were much relieved. I slept well for the first time.

Is it the effect of alcohol?

Or is it a last gasp?

The old man suddenly thought of this question and his gaze fell on the loquat tree in the yard. His cloudy eyes looked a little confused.

It is said that when people are about to leave, they will recall the memories that are buried deep in their hearts.

Recently, I seem to have a lot of random thoughts in my mind.

"Grandpa, what are you thinking about?"

Chen Yang took a bowl of rice and sat down next to him.

"Nothing."

The old man came back to his senses and shook his head. "This loquat tree was planted by your great-grandmother. Your great-grandfather wanted to cut it down several times because he thought it blocked the road. It has been so many years now. Alas, things have changed..."

The rain hitting the loquats makes people sad.

Chen Yang felt sad when he heard this.

He has never met his great-grandfather or great-grandmother.

But think about it, decades ago, they were living in this yard, the same space, different time, they should be very happy.

Chen Yang took two bites of rice and said, "Grandpa, don't you want to go to Pangpoling? If it doesn't rain tomorrow, let's go tomorrow?"

"okay."

Chen Jingzhi came back to his senses and nodded, "While I can still walk."

"Grandpa, don't let your imagination run wild. I see that you look much better these past two days. It seems that the doctor that Grandma Liu introduced to you is quite capable..."

"Your grandpa is not that fragile, eat quickly!"

"I heard from Da Neng that you went to meet the girl today? How did it go? What was her attitude towards you?"

"All right, I'll take action and I must capture him."

"You have to be serious."

……

-

Pangpo Ridge.

It is not far from Daqishan Mountain, and both are remnants of Mount Emei.

Walk towards Emei Mountain from the town for three or five miles and you will reach Pangpoling.

This mountain is not as steep as Daqishan Mountain and has a gentler terrain, but it is also covered with forests and stretches for dozens of miles.

This Pangpoling has some history. In terms of history, it can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period.

It is recorded in the Annals of Linjiang County that Pang Degong, a famous scholar during the Three Kingdoms period, once lived in seclusion in this mountain for a long time.

There is also a Pangpo Cave on the mountain, which is where Pang Degong lived in seclusion, and Pangpo Ridge got its name from this.
