The old hunter had a lot of belongings, including a lot of pickled animal meat and a jar of money, which was buried under the pit.
As an excellent scout, Zhao Wei managed to dig it out of the pit by using the wear and tear of the terrain and his bold imagination.
Yunxiu once suspected that he might be the reincarnation of a rat spirit, because he could be found even though he was hiding in such a secluded place.
Zhao Wei took inventory and found that the old hunter had quite a lot of money, totaling 987.4 yuan.
I don't know how many years he saved the money, and he didn't spend much on a regular basis, so he never spent any money. As a result, some of his money was almost going moldy, and he never spent it all until he died.
"Tsk tsk... No wonder they were willing to spend money to buy Chunxiang. I heard from Matchmaker Wang that the person who sold her probably got 200 yuan."
"At the time I thought it was just a bluff, but now that I think about it, if it was this old thing, it's really possible."
When Yunxiu heard this, she opened her mouth in surprise.
"This is... the place where Chunxiang escaped? My God, the old hunter you mentioned is actually quite wealthy. If Chunxiang hadn't escaped, wouldn't she have become a rich woman?"
"No, she will become a rich widow and die in this forest. The old hunter is already dead. You don't think she can survive in this forest alone, do you?"
If he hadn't held the wolf back, Chunxiang wouldn't have had the chance to escape from the forest, let alone what happened later. Tsk tsk...
Just when Yunxiu was feeling overwhelmed, Zhao Wei dropped another bombshell.
"Guess who that kidnapper is?"
Yunxiu said with some embarrassment: "Who can guess that? Even a kidnapper wouldn't go around shouting that he is a kidnapper."
"Humph! It doesn't hurt to tell you, I suspect that the kidnapper is my grandma."
"hiss……"
This news made Yunxiu a little unsteady and she fell onto the small stool.
"Why are you so surprised? You don't know how much wealth my grandma has saved over the years by using this despicable method."
In order to deal with Zhao Long, he stole his grandmother's small wooden box and counted the money inside. He found that there was more than 3,000 yuan in wealth, which was a bit outrageous. He was already the richest man in the whole Yushu Village.
Three thousand yuan in that era was not something a small peasant woman could save. Even an old hunter who worked hard hunting for decades and saved money without spending a penny could only save less than one thousand yuan.
And her grandmother's family had no proper livelihood. They relied on farming and taking advantage of the money from their second wife. At most, they could just solve the problem of food and clothing. It was extremely difficult for them to save money.
The only explanation is that she is dishonest and has done something illegal.
Combined with the mystery of his father's life experience, he had reason to suspect that the women and children who had disappeared in the village before were all caused by his grandfather.
For things like this, he had no evidence and could only suspect.
But there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world, and he still found some clues.
He just wants to expose this matter now.
Let the victims' families knock on your door.
After calculating the time, it's time for this rumor to spread. Today is the Little New Year and everyone is gathering together to watch a movie.
Although he was not at the scene, he had several disciples who were good at handling things. With their gossiping skills, it would not take long for the news to spread throughout the entire Yushu Village.
Tsk tsk... This Little New Year must be extremely interesting. He is now particularly looking forward to what happens in the evening.
The two men dealt with the birds they had shot, ate and drank their fill, and then emptied the old hunter's house.
They built a board with a few branches, tied the fur and bacon on it, and the two of them worked together to drag it home.
It must be said that with Yunxiu's help, Zhao Wei saved a lot of trouble. Otherwise, he would have to make at least one more trip to bring those dozens of pickled meats home, which would be very tiring.
This amount of meat is more than enough for a housewarming banquet.
When grandma saw how many good things they brought, the wrinkles on her face smiled so deeply that she wished their lives would become more prosperous.
Unfortunately, she is old and not in good health. She can no longer do many things and can only stay at home to take care of her grandfather.
But this is what Zhao Wei is most satisfied with. The elderly can take care of themselves, which shows that they are in good health. At this stage, being able to free up their hands to do big things is already the greatest support.
Zhao Wei put his worries aside and rested for a while at home. He looked at the sky and saw that it was almost time for dinner. When he was about to start cooking, he saw his parents coming back talking and laughing.
"Oh my...it's a pity that you two didn't go to the movies. It's so lively and so good!"
"There's one last show later in the evening, you mustn't miss it."
"Especially Yunxiu, you've been in our Zhao family for such a long time, and you haven't even watched a movie yet!"
…
"Mom, it's okay. We'll have plenty of time to watch movies later. Zhao Wei said he'll take me to the cinema in the county town. It's spacious and bright there, and no one's fighting for seats."
Wang Caigu smiled with satisfaction: "That's great, we have the conditions now, it would be nice to go and see the foreign scenery, hahahaha..."
Because she was focused on the movie, Wang Caigu ignored the bacon and animal skins on the ground and rolled up her sleeves to cook.
On the contrary, it was Zhao Yong who saw all of this at a glance.
Looking at the young couple in surprise.
"Son, Yunxiu, this is... what did you two bring back today? Am I seeing things right?"
"Dad, we worked hard all day to get this thing back. I'm so exhausted. Look at this hand. It's been strangled to death..."
Zhao Wei showed his and Yunxiu's hands as if to take credit. Even though they had rested for such a long time, it was still obvious that their hands had red marks from being rubbed, and were almost swollen and broken.
This is just what you can see, there is also the one on the shoulders, which I am too embarrassed to talk about.
The journey was long and steep, and it took them an entire afternoon to accomplish it. They were almost exhausted.
"Yes, yes, you two have worked hard. Wait, let your mother make you something delicious, hahahaha..."
Zhao Yong was so happy that he rushed to the kitchen and shouted that he didn't want to watch the movie anymore, saying that watching movies was not as important as watching meat.
With so much meat, if someone stole it when he was not at home at night, he would cry his heart out.
After learning about the good deeds done by Zhao Wei and his wife, Wang Caigu used all her cooking skills to prepare a table full of delicious dishes for the family.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content and resting up, Zhao Wei prepared to take Yunxiu to do something.
Hehe... Tremble, you scumbags!
