Chapter 89 Jungle 1
Su Qiuyan was not the only one who had this idea. Yang Jinsheng in the next room was also a little tempted. He nudged Jiang Xinbai and said, "Xiaobai, do you think it's okay for me to go fishing?"
"You?" Jiang Xinbai glanced at him. "Don't say I underestimated you. Fishing really depends on luck. At least my third brother fished a lot when he was in the village, but he never caught a single fish. But he could catch a few when he went down to the river."
"Then let's go to the river. Or should we go back to Dayang Village and fish in the river?" Yang Jinsheng was eager to try. He was really interested. Eating was one thing, but fishing brought a great sense of accomplishment, especially when one could catch fish.
Jiang Xin rolled her eyes at him, "If you don't want to be scolded, then go ahead! That's Dayang Village's territory. I'm married now. Do you think it's appropriate to take you there to fish? I'm afraid you'll be chased away as soon as you sit down to fish."
Yang Jinsheng smiled and said, "Hey, I'm just saying it, so where do you think I can go fishing? I want to try it, too."
"How do I know where I can fish? But is the mountain you went to with Li Fengyue before high? Are there chestnuts or something in the mountain? It's not easy to go back to the village to pick chestnuts this year. How about we go over there to have a look?" Jiang Xinbai thought about it in his mind, and after thinking about it, he felt that the mountain where Li Fengyue's family hid the yellow croaker was the most suitable for treasure hunting.
Yang Jinsheng shook his head. "I really don't know. We were so busy that night and it was dark. Who would have paid attention to this?"
"Then let's go and take a look. Let's do it this Sunday. I'll go back and change my shift. I'll have Sunday off, so we can go together." It's September now, and the wild fruits on the mountain are probably ripe. Who knows, maybe we can pick rattan pears like we did last year. They're sweet and delicious.
"Just the two of us?"
"Who else do you want to call? My second sister is about to give birth, so of course we can't call her. My second brother-in-law should stay at home with my second sister, right? I don't want to call your eldest brother and the others, because there are too many people around and mom has to take care of the child." Jiang Xinbai felt that the fewer people involved in this kind of thing, the better. After all, the mountain is public property, and the things on the mountain are naturally public property as well. To put it more seriously, their behavior is digging into socialism, so the fewer people who know about it, the better.
"I always feel like it's unsafe just for the two of us."
"How can it be unsafe? We are not going inside in broad daylight. Oh, by the way, where can you borrow a sickle? Find a few bags too. Let's go by bike."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
…
On Sunday, Jiang Xinbai found an excuse to sneak out of the house and soon found her husband squatting in the corner. "Jinsheng, let's go, leave early and come back early."
"Okay, get on the bike." Yang Jinsheng rode with Jiang Xinbai all the way out of the city. When they were not far from the city, he stopped and said, "Let's wait for the elder sister!"
"Sister? You told sister? Didn't I say it was just the two of us? You're really something." Jiang Xinbai frowned when he heard this.
Yang Jinsheng lowered his head in embarrassment and muttered, "I didn't mean to do that. I just blurted it out. You asked me to borrow a sickle, but I didn't dare to lend it to someone I know, because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to answer them if they asked, so I was going to buy one. Then I ran into my elder sister, and I blurted it out when she asked."
"You're really good. Your mouth is like a sieve, full of holes." Jiang Xinbai looked at her husband angrily. Fortunately, it wasn't an important matter. Otherwise, how could he keep a secret with his condition? Thinking of this, she looked around again and whispered, "I've made an agreement with you. You can't tell anyone about Li Fengyue's affairs, even if you are beaten to death. You can't let it slip. Do you understand?"
"Oh, I know, I know. I keep all the important things in my heart and won't let anything slip." How could Yang Jinsheng not know the importance of the matter? He didn't even dare to tell his elder sister, let alone his parents.
"That's good to know."
"Huff, Jinsheng, Xinbai, you've been waiting for a long time. I had to trick your brother-in-law into letting me out." At this time, Yang Xiufen also came over on her bike.
"Sister, did you bring the sickle?" Yang Jinsheng kept looking behind her car.
Yang Xiufen pointed to the bag on the back seat of the car and said, "I borrowed two. They are in the bag. Are we leaving now?"
"Let's go!"
So the three of them rode forward grunting and panting, and after riding for about twenty minutes they finally arrived at the mountain they had mentioned before.
"It's here. Let's hide the car and walk up." Yang Jinsheng pointed upwards.
Yang Xiufen got out of the car, looked around, and asked, "Where are you hiding it? Don't let anyone steal it."
"Here, I was... No, I think this place is good, no one will find us hiding here." Yang Jinsheng pushed the cart forward a few steps and then stopped to explain.
"I thought you had been here before!" Yang Xiufen looked at him curiously. He was so familiar with the place that no one would believe him if he said he had never been here.
Jiang Xinbai glanced at her husband and explained, "Sister, Jinsheng and I passed by here when we went back to my parents' home. At that time, we said we would come and take a look when we were free, so it can be considered that we have been here before."
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean. Stop talking, let's hide the bike and go inside!" Yang Jinsheng took the lead in hiding the bike under the hillside and covered it with weeds. As long as no one dug it up, no one would know there was a bicycle hidden here.
Seeing this, Yang Xiufen also hid her bicycle and waved her hand, "Let's go!"
Yang Jinsheng led the way in front, and the few of them climbed another section of the mountain road. When they passed the ruined temple, Yang Jinsheng took a special look at it. Well, it was even more dilapidated.
"Hey, there is a temple here, but it's about to collapse. Do you think there is treasure in it?" Yang Xiufen said in a low voice while panting.
Yang Jinsheng's heart trembled at her question, "Sister, what are you thinking about? Where did the treasure come from? Let's go quickly. It looks very gloomy here."
"Hey, third brother, why have you become so timid? You were not like this before." Yang Xiufen asked curiously.
"Sister, the dilapidated temple does look a bit eerie. Let's hurry up and leave! There may be wild fruits ahead." Jiang Xinbai quickly changed the subject.
Yang Xiufen's attention was diverted. She pulled Yang Jinsheng away and walked to the front, complaining, "Let me lead the way. You're always so slow."
After walking for a while, they finally saw some rattan pears at the end of a path. Yang Xiufen exclaimed, "There really are rattan pears with white cores. Pick them quickly."
"Sister, wait a minute, let Jinsheng hook the branches over here so we can pick them." Jiang Xinbai directed Yang Jinsheng to carefully hook the branches of the Tengli tree with a sickle, and then the two of them started picking the fruits quickly.
After picking them, Jiang Xinbai wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed ahead and said, "Walk a little further, maybe there will be more."
Yang Jinsheng followed them for a while with his bag on his back. He glanced and saw that the tree beside him was full of green, round fruits. He pointed and asked, "What are these? There are quite a lot of them."
