Farmers are busy. After harvesting wheat, they plant corn. After planting corn, they harvest pumpkins.
The bumper pumpkin harvest made everyone in Xinjin County happy.
Old Lady Yan from Yanjia Village strolled around every day, her heart pounding as she watched her pumpkins grow noticeably larger than those of other families. She even counted them, and found that her family had the most pumpkins in the entire village.
Unlike Old Lady Yan's secret joy, the entire Xinjin County was immersed in the joy of a bountiful harvest. Every household that planted pumpkins harvested a dozen or so pumpkins. These pumpkins ranged in size, with the largest weighing over 300 kilograms, and the smallest around 200 kilograms.
The aroma of pumpkin wafts through Xinjin County. The pumpkin flesh is soft, sweet, and even a small piece is incredibly filling.
Xinjin County has been receiving good news recently. The provincial government has specially sent people to collect materials, take photos and report to the higher authorities.
The news titled "Farmers are happy to see thousands of kilograms of pumpkins brought home" quickly appeared in major mainstream media.
Gou Dan'er, Da Shan, and the team leader's grandson, Hai Yang, held hands and surrounded a large pumpkin. A photographer captured the innocent smiles of the three boys, freezing them with a single click. This photo was published in the newspaper.
The captain went to the county for a meeting and happily brought back a roll of newspaper.
"Look, these are all news from our brigade!"
Everyone in Wangjia Village rushed to pass the book around, and they all laughed so hard that their mouths were almost stretched to their ears.
"Look at Goudan'er's big eyes, so clever!"
"And Haiyang's sky-high braid is so energetic, hahaha!"
"Dashan is not bad either. Look at his smile, all his white teeth are showing."
The three children of the new national stars were now following Jiaojiao and Dabai through the mountains.
"Jiaojiao, there are still a lot of unpicked fruits in that ravine we went to last time. Let's go again!"
"Jiaojiao, let's go get some honey."
It was the season when wild fruits were at their peak on the Daqing Mountain, and the children from the nearby brigades were clamoring for their parents to go into the mountains to pick wild fruits to eat.
The wild fruits that we didn’t pick last time were picked by someone, but we were not discouraged. There were many wild fruits in the mountains anyway, so we continued to look for the next one.
But today they were unlucky and couldn't find it even after searching twice. Dabai looked a little irritable.
Jiaojiao frowned. She stopped, made a brief calculation, and her expression became even more serious.
"Get down the mountain!" Jiaojiao patted Dabai, "Get down the mountain quickly!"
The group of friends always followed Jiaojiao's lead, but seeing Jiaojiao's stern face, they didn't dare to say anything and followed Dabai down the mountain obediently.
Jiaojiao fell behind by a step, turned around and waved her hand, and dozens of green snakes flew out and swam quickly in the same direction.
After the friends went down the mountain, the people in Wangjia Village were still reading the newspapers brought by the captain with great interest.
Jiaojiao stepped forward and winked at the captain, who immediately followed Jiaojiao upon seeing this.
"Captain, please send someone to the police station and tell them there's a suspicious individual on Daqing Mountain. Have them bring weapons and go up the mountain to arrest him."
"Bring weapons? Who are they?"
"I don't know... Anyway, they're not good people. They seem to have come from the northeast, across the ocean. They don't speak the same language as us."
It was discovered in the Northeast that they had traveled across the ocean and were speaking a different language. It was most likely Japan!
The captain's face was serious: "Why are they going up the mountain? There is no treasure on our mountain!"
No, he suddenly remembered that Wangjia Village had a bumper harvest of various crops recently, and the Daqing Mountain fed the entire Xinjin County.
"Are they trying to find out if there's anything different about Daqing Mountain?"
If there is any difference, he is the one who has the final say. Those Japanese people probably won't be able to find out any secrets no matter how hard they try.
"Okay, I'll let your Uncle Zhicai go right away."
Uncle Zhicai is the captain's son and Haiyang's father. He is usually quiet and low-key, but he is very reliable.
Uncle Zhicai got on the bike and rode it like a Hot Wheels.
There were only three police officers in the police station, and Officer Li, who was in charge of their area, happened to be returning from a police call with Officer Liu.
"What? There is a suspicious person on Daqing Mountain? Who is it? I'll slap him to death!" Li Gongan shouted, slamming the table.
When his family was on the verge of collapse, the lichens and shepherd's purse on Daqing Mountain saved the lives of more than a dozen people in his family. He would be the first to say no to anyone who went to Daqing Mountain to cause trouble!
"Xiao Liu, let's go and dispatch the police!" Public Security Officer Li put on the wide-brimmed hat he had just taken off and placed on the table.
"Hey, Public Security Li, have you got your gun? Call a few more people!"
"We have our guns, but we have no other manpower. Only two of us can go out on patrol, and one has to stay at the police station." After saying this, Public Security Officer Li got on his bicycle and rushed to Daqingshan with Xiao Liu.
Uncle Zhicai tried his best but still couldn't catch up.
On Daqing Mountain, several people were sneaking around. They had long heard that the mountain seemed to contain a unique energy. One of them had been there once before, secretly bringing back some soil, rocks, and fruits for testing.
The test results were not very ideal. Recently, they learned that the next generation of pumpkins bred from the giant pumpkins found on Daqing Mountain are also very large, with most weighing over 200 kilograms.
There was also the strange phenomenon on Daqing Mountain some time ago. All these things show the uniqueness of Daqing Mountain.
There must be huge energy hidden in the Daqing Mountains!
Their spearhead team leader ordered them to go deep into the mountains and find out the secret of the mountain at all costs.
This was their first time in the mountains, and they carried small metal detectors as they searched the mountains, focusing on several ravines rich in wild fruits and large pumpkins.
