Chapter 50: Large-scale picking site
The people who went into the mountains to kill the tiger walked in front, full of passion and vigor.
The elderly, the weak, women and children following behind were all smiling happily, having gained a lot.
Wood ear mushrooms, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, grass leaves, wild fruits... are almost everywhere.
The mountains and forests that have not been set foot on or damaged for several years are simply a huge treasure trove.
In the end, the tiger hunters stopped looking for tigers and simply took off their outer clothes to use as baggage, bent down and began to pick mushrooms and dig herbs...
For a moment, the scene turned into a large picking site.
"In my opinion, the tiger must have been scared away when it saw so many of us!" Someone said loudly with excitement on his face while picking wild fruits from the tree.
"Haha...I think so too!" someone agreed with laughter.
"There is strength in numbers. The beast must have been scared away from Phoenix Mountain..." someone else said loudly with pride.
"Haha... Exactly..."
…
People became more and more excited as they talked, and there was laughter everywhere.
Village chief Wang Zhengyi looked at Old Man Su and said, "Brother, what do you think?"
Old Man Su clicked his tongue, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. He said, "If that beast has really left Phoenix Mountain, that would be great. But if not, I don't know where it's lurking, waiting to harm people..."
That would be troublesome.
Although Old Man Su didn't finish his words, the village chief understood what he meant.
If someone said that the tiger had left Phoenix Mountain, he would find it hard to believe.
After all, the roar of tigers could be heard just a few days ago.
The village chief thought about it, then took Old Man Su to find Liu Ada, the chief constable sent by the county government.
Captain Liu had just hunted a pheasant and was beaming with excitement. After hearing what the village chief and Old Man Su had said, he waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "If that beast won't come out, there's nothing we can do about it, right? It would be best to let everyone get the benefits first."
The village chief and Old Man Su looked at each other, speechless.
What Captain Liu said made sense, but if the tiger suddenly jumped out, everyone would be caught off guard.
With so many people, it would be difficult to escape, and I'm afraid there would be a large number of casualties.
Fortunately, what Old Man Su and the village chief worried about did not happen.
Until the people returned with their full loads, they still hadn't seen even a shadow of the tiger.
This is completely different from the previous situation where anyone who went up the mountain would definitely encounter a tiger.
**
The Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not follow the crowd into the mountains. Instead, they dug up more than a dozen Panax notoginseng plants, covered them with some wild vegetables, and then went home.
After picking up a piece of gold and digging up so many old medicinal herbs, Old Lady Su and Zhao Chunhua were already feeling dizzy.
Late at night, at the Su family's house.
Under the dim kerosene lamp, Old Lady Su took out the gold nugget and whispered to her husband, "Dad, you said this gold..."
Old Man Su looked at the gold with a serious expression on his face.
His wife had already told him about the incident where the little girl found the gold.
Now, Old Man Su looked at the gold and felt something was wrong.
Something is wrong!
"Are there really tire tracks?" asked Old Man Su.
"Yes! Judging from the appearance, it should have come down from the mountain." Old Mrs. Su nodded.
"How could there be people on the mountain? How could there be a car? That beast has been occupying the mountain..." Old Man Su was puzzled.
"Dad, do you think that tiger could be tamed?" Old Mrs. Su said fearfully, "I've heard that some wealthy families like to tame wild animals..."
"What's the point of taming wild animals?" Old Man Su waved his hand. "To guard the house or the mountain..."
Old Man Su suddenly thought of something and stopped.
His eyes were fixed on the gold nugget in his hand.
What if you are guarding the gold on the mountain?
Old Mrs. Su and Old Man Su have been married for many years. She can tell what a man is thinking just by looking at his appearance.
The couple looked at each other at the same time and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
Old Mrs. Su was frightened.
"Wife, put this thing away first and don't let anyone see it!" Old man Su made a quick decision and handed the gold to old lady Su.
Old Mrs. Su's face turned pale and she quickly hid the gold in the kang hole.
