At this moment,

On the way to the Nianzi Brigade.

The Yao family members only carried a torch and walked towards the back mountain in the silent night.

On the way up the mountain, Mrs. Yao almost slipped, but fortunately Yao Zhendong was quick to catch her.

Seeing this, she also let out a small cry of surprise.

"Sister-in-law, please keep your voice down." Yao Simeng turned around and lowered her voice.

Mrs. Yao didn't care. "We've already gone up the mountain. Everyone is asleep in their quilts. Who can hear me if I speak so quietly?"

"It's always best to be careful." Yao Simeng replied.

A few days ago, they met Aunt Li in the commune. From her meaningful words and eyes, it seemed as if she had discovered something.

After returning, Yao Anguo warned them not to think about coming to the back mountain in the next few days.

We waited patiently for three days, and seeing that there was no movement from the mill team, we decided to try again.

But even if nothing happened, there was always a nerve in my heart that was tense.

"Little sister, are we almost there?" Mrs. Yao looked at the dark surroundings and whispered.

Yao Simeng nodded, "It's just in front, let's go."

There were tons of iron sheets growing in the cracks. Several people stepped into the grass, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and quickly took out small hoes to dig.

They were so busy, and there was inevitably noise in the forest, so naturally they didn't notice the figure following them along the way.

Aunt Li followed him up the mountain for a while, but she really didn't dare to go on.

She was alone without a torch, and in this deep forest, what if something unexpected happened?

Turn back quickly.

Thinking about what I had just seen, my eyes were shining on the way back.

My goodness, the entire Yao family has come out to be thieves!

They stayed awake late at night, carrying backpacks and holding torches, and walked towards the back mountain. If anyone said there was no ghost, Aunt Li would not believe a word of it.

I couldn't help feeling a little proud, I was right!

Hard work pays off, and she really kept it!

No, I have to go back quickly to inform people, and it would be best if I could rush over and catch them red-handed.

When the time comes, both the people and the spoils will be taken, let's see how you resist!

Thinking of this, Aunt Li was in a hurry all the way.

As soon as he entered the house, he started yelling at his son and daughter-in-law.

"Mom, why are you waking us up in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" The eldest daughter-in-law could hardly close her eyes.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep. You can sleep normally, but you have to wake up now! There is something important."

Upon hearing this, the eldest daughter-in-law perked up instantly, "Mom, what's the matter?"

The same is true for his son and daughter-in-law.

Aunt Li said, "Someone went to the back hill to dig up our collective property!"

"what?"

The sons and daughters-in-law looked at each other with frightened expressions.

We have all seen the hustle and bustle of the Yao and Fu families. Could the collective property in the back hill contain any Ganoderma lucidum or ginseng?

That's a valuable item. If we find it and sell it for money, we'll be the best in the whole village!

I didn't even say I was sleepy, and I didn't even have time to ask my mother how she knew. I went straight back to the house to get dressed.

Aunt Li was not idle either.

Let the old man in the family be the torch, and walk towards the bottom.

Of course, it is not enough to just love one's own family.

We need to recruit more people, of course, these people do not include the educated youth.

Who knows if there is anyone at the Yao family guarding the house? What if they go and inform the family in advance?

Aunt Li had a loud voice and moved quickly, and soon gathered a large group of people.

"I was pulling weeds in my private plot when I saw a group of people with torches walking towards the back hill."

Aunt Li said, "It's so late at night, they definitely don't want to go up there to look for firewood, so I followed them for a while and vaguely heard them say they were going to dig for something valuable."

As soon as these words came out, everyone got angry.

"What valuables! That's our collective property!"

"Yes, there are a lot of good things in the back mountain. I have never seen wild boars so fat from eating so much. I can also see pheasants from time to time!"

"It's the middle of the night, someone must have found someone with valuables to take it."

Someone else frowned and asked, "Auntie Li, did you see clearly whose family this is?"

Aunt Li shook her head decisively, "It's so dark in the middle of the night, how can I see clearly?"

The villagers thought so too.

It was so dark in the middle of the night, and Aunt Li couldn't lie to us for no reason.

He immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go to the back mountain and catch thieves! Otherwise, others will take away all the good stuff."

You know, when Yao Simeng mentioned Ganoderma lucidum before, some people said that it would be sold for a few hundred yuan.

That word spread throughout the Nianzi Brigade. Thinking that there was such a good thing in the back mountain, everyone was scratching their heads.

Anyway, I don’t have to go to work tomorrow, so the collective property of the village is more important.

That's it.

The guys held torches and headed towards the back mountain in a group.

When we passed by the educated youth point, someone asked if we should tell the team leader.

Aunt Li's eldest son said impatiently, "We have to tell the captain. We have to wait for a long time. By then, everyone on the mountain will have taken their things and left."

"How can we find it then?"

The other person thought it made sense and said, "Then let's go first and tell the captain after we catch the thief."

He did not stay at the educated youth point any longer and headed quickly towards the back mountain.

At this time, on the back mountain,

The Yao family members were completely unaware of this and were digging for a newly found piece of iron.

Mrs. Yao held the hoe head, her tone still a little excited, "There are really a lot of iron sheets here today, I'm afraid it's enough to carry two baskets."

Mrs. Yao was also happy, "Dig more, or we might end up with a basket full of fish."

Seeing Yao Simeng standing there motionless, he wondered, "Little sister, why aren't you moving? Hurry up."

Yao Simeng glanced around and pressed his eyelids, "Let's dig less every day. My left eyelid keeps twitching."

"What's the matter?" Yao Zhendong's hands kept moving. "It's normal for your heart to beat normally. Don't scare yourself."

When we first followed, we were afraid.

Now I have become a veteran.

In their eyes, these iron bars are money grown on the mountains.

As Yao Simeng looked at his brother and sister-in-law who were digging hard, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Open your mouth and want to continue to persuade.

But before he could open his mouth, his eyes suddenly fixed on Shan, and his expression suddenly changed——
