Chapter 48: Pull and pull the gold
At this time, the foot of Phoenix Mountain was very lively.
Following the hundreds of people who went into the mountains to hunt tigers was a large group of men, women, and children, carrying baskets and backpacks.
This is not about hunting ferocious tigers, it's purely like going into the mountains to search for treasure.
Mrs. Su's wife, Zhao Chunhua, looked surprised.
"Mom, aren't these people afraid of encountering a tiger and having an accident?" Mrs. Su's tone was full of disbelief.
Old Madam Su sighed and said, "With so many people together, if they encounter a tiger, they might not suffer any accidents, but if they have no food, the whole family might starve to death."
Everyone is hoping for a lucky break.
Zhao Chunhua, “…”
My mother-in-law's words are indeed insightful.
Seeing this lively scene, little Tangbao clapped his hands happily and said in a baby voice, "Mom, dig some vegetables!"
After saying that, he struggled to get off the ground.
Her sister-in-law brought a backpack.
She also came out carrying her own small basket.
Of course I have to return with a full load.
Old Mrs. Su had no choice but to put little Tangbao down and watched him walk with his short legs excitedly, following people in search of wild vegetables in a serious manner.
There are so many people here now that even if they set out into the mountains, Old Lady Su is not worried about anything happening.
Little Tangbao searched around with his big eyes, slung his small basket over his shoulder, squatted down and started digging wild vegetables on the ground, no, pulling wild grass.
As I pulled, a yellow lump came out.
"mother!"
Little Tangbao took the yellow lump and presented it to her mother.
Old Mrs. Su’s head buzzed for a moment.
Gold!
Why is there gold again?!
"Tangbao, where, where are you from?" Old Mrs. Su's voice was shaking.
Little Tangbao pointed to a patch of grass nearby and said in a baby voice, "Dig some vegetables."
Digging for vegetables.
No, actually I picked it up!
With her little hands, she couldn't dig out any wild vegetables, she could only pluck the leaves.
What's more, what she was pulling out were not vegetable leaves, but grass leaves.
Although Zhao Chunhua was looking for wild vegetables nearby, she was always paying attention to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Seeing that my mother-in-law looked strange, I hurried over.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Zhao Chunhua asked.
Old Mrs. Su didn't say anything, but just secretly showed the yellow lump to Zhao Chunhua.
Zhao Chunhua's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
How come there is such a big piece of gold?
"Did my aunt pick it up?" Zhao Chunhua asked stutteringly.
But there was a hint of certainty in his tone.
Only my sister-in-law has this kind of luck in her family.
Old Mrs. Su nodded.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, squatted down at the same time and started looking.
As I searched, my heart was pounding.
However, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law found nothing but two deep tire tracks.
The wheel tracks were covered by the grass, and if you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't see them.
"Mom, why are there wheel tracks here?" Zhao Chunhua asked in confusion.
No one has dared to go up this mountain for several years. Why are there tire tracks at the foot of the mountain?
Old Mrs. Su also looked puzzled, but when she looked at the yellow lump in her hand, she felt vaguely uneasy.
"Don't tell anyone for now. Let's talk about it after we get home." Old Mrs. Su whispered.
"Mom, I know the seriousness of the matter." Zhao Chunhua quickly agreed.
After all, since it involves gold, Zhao Chunhua certainly won't make it public.
She hadn't heard of anyone losing gold in recent days, so it was clear that there was something fishy about the gold.
What's more, there is definitely no family in their entire village that has gold.
Old Mrs. Su watched her little girl plucking grass leaves with a worried heart.
However, no matter how I look at it, I feel that my little girl is unusual.
"Mom!" Little Tangbao shouted.
Old Mrs. Su, “…”
My heart instinctively shuddered.
"What's wrong?" asked Old Mrs. Su in a trembling voice.
I'm really afraid that my daughter will take out another piece of gold.
Although gold is good, she felt that this gold, which appeared out of nowhere, was hot.
