Feng Yijia was busy at home, and Meng Sheng also gained a lot from this trip to the city.
The wild sheep and mountain deer were sent out, and I learned from Brother Xiao that two adjacent courtyards were for sale.
“The two courtyards are similar in layout and area, and are diagonally opposite the department store.
It's about 200 square meters and it's an old wooden house.
But the location is good, facing the street in front, and there is a large shop.
There are several rooms at the back for living.
The owners of the house are two brothers who both went to the south to do business.
After making some money, he felt that his hometown was too backward, so he planned to sell the house and bring his family to live in the south.
The price is a bit high, about 3,000 yuan for a yard."
Brother Xiao finished speaking while smoking a cigarette, and then said to Meng Sheng angrily: “Both courtyards are in my territory.
If you buy it and do business or something, no one will dare to cause trouble.
If you don’t have enough money, I can give you some support. Don’t worry, there’s no interest!
Just pay it back when you have it!
Just take us into the mountains to hunt when we return."
Hunting is probably a hobby that has been rooted in men's blood since primitive society.
Meng Sheng looked at Brother Xiao's eager eyes and nodded without hesitation.
The house opposite the department store is a commercial center now and in the future, and it is located in a place where every inch of land is valuable.
If you take it now, you can make money without doing anything. There is no reason not to take it.
After Meng Sheng finished the tasks assigned by Feng Yijia in the afternoon, he took his elder brother Meng Chao to see the house.
Then he pretended to be broke and borrowed some money from Brother Xiao before he bought the two courtyards.
Otherwise, the family only had the income from a dry goods shop and a street stall, and it would arouse suspicion if they kept taking out large sums of money.
With the help of Brother Xiao, the house procedures were completed very quickly. On the same day, he and his brother Meng Chao each had a small courtyard that could be used for both commercial and residential purposes.
But I didn’t expect that when I bought some things and returned to the village the next day, the hunting team was quite large.
At the agreed meeting place, the gate of the county town, Brother Xiao was surrounded by a dozen young men sitting astride bicycles.
Two of the young men were unfamiliar to me, with crew cuts, and military uniforms and shoes that were about half new. Unlike the others who had hunched shoulders, wore sunglasses, and wore jeans, they sat on the bicycles with their backs straight.
You can tell at first glance that he is not from a gangster background.
Sure enough, when Brother Xiao saw Meng Sheng coming over, he pulled him over and introduced them enthusiastically: "These two are Director Ge's eldest brother, Ge Xiaobing, and his friend Yang Yuchuan.
They are only sixteen or seventeen years old, younger than the rest of us, so you can just call them Xiaobing or Xiaochuan.
Come hunting with us in the mountains this time!"
Director Ge was the Public Security Bureau chief who had recently been demobilized. On the night Feng Yijia was rescued, Meng Sheng had met him once and exchanged a few words with him.
After becoming familiar with Brother Xiao, he also knew some inside information.
Brother Xiao’s name is Xiao Chen. His father and Director Ge were comrades-in-arms. The two families used to be neighbors in the same military compound for several years.
The relationship is very close.
But swords and guns are merciless. Xiao Chen's father became a martyr many years ago, and Xiao Chen became an orphan of a martyr. He followed his mother back to Baishui County, and then relied on the martial arts he learned in the army to become the famous gang leader "Brother Xiao" in the county.
Although everyone calls him brother, Brother Xiao is not very old, only about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He has lived in the city for a long time and has not done much work, so he looks younger than Meng Sheng.
Probably because of their friendship as neighbors, he and Ge Xiaobing spoke very familiarly to each other.
Ge Xiaobing didn't look like a director's son at all. He had a slightly childish face, grinning, revealing a few white teeth. He and Yang Yuchuan politely said in unison, "Hello, Brother Meng!"
Meng Sheng didn't feel good at all. He went to the mountains the other day and although he didn't see any wolves, he encountered wild boars several times.
If this thing goes crazy, it can kill people.
It would be fine for an ordinary person to bring it, but for someone of Ge Xiaobing's status, if he comes back injured, he won't have an easy life in the future.
If I had known that yesterday, I shouldn’t have sent the meat to the county town.
However, no matter how annoyed he was in his heart, Meng Sheng didn't show it on his face. He smiled and replied, "Hello, you guys, have you had breakfast so early?
It's dangerous in the mountains, and your family is worried about you guys following along?"
It is best to sneak out and ask your family to call you back as soon as possible.
"I've eaten. My dad was relieved when he heard that I went out with you and Brother Xiao.
They even asked us to buy some extra meat to take back for the New Year!" Ge Xiaobing replied with a grin, patting the luggage and backpack tied to the bicycle to prove that he was not lying.
Having said that, Meng Sheng could only hold his nose and accept his fate and lead the way.
On the way, he looked for an opportunity to ask Brother Xiao, "Where is Yang Yuchuan from? Are his parents also in the army?"
Although this is definitely a Bodhisattva that cannot be bumped or touched, one still has to have some idea in mind.
Brother Xiao shook his head and replied, "I'm from Fujian Province, I don't know where I'm from specifically.
This is also the first time I’ve met someone today, so I didn’t have time to ask!”
After saying this, I also understood his worries and comforted him: "Don't worry, the people I picked this time are all skilled and have brought some real weapons.
They don't look like they were raised in luxury, so their safety should be no problem."
Upon hearing this, Meng Sheng said no more and continued to follow the group towards the village at lightning speed.
They are all young men in their twenties and have endless energy.
They were talking and laughing, pedaling as fast as they could, and before they could catch up, a group of them entered the village at noon.
It is rare for outsiders to come into the remote village.
Many people in the village stuck their heads out to watch the fun, but when they saw how the group of people were dressed, they all retracted their heads.
Many people cursed in their hearts: "It's ok that Meng Sheng just messed around on his own, but he actually brought some bastard into the village!"
Meng Sheng, who was scolded, didn't even sneeze, and took his people straight back home.
Feng Yijia was busy making lunch at home. When she heard some noise, she stuck her head out and saw a dozen young men following Meng Sheng and laughing as they came towards her.
While wondering about the purpose of these people's visit, he quickly turned around and added a few more ladles of water and rice to the pot.
Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng next door are still working in the fields and haven't come back yet. Now that a group of people have come, we have to provide them with lunch.
She ran so fast that she didn't notice that when one of the people saw her, his eyes suddenly became gloomy, not like he was looking at a stranger at all.
There was three parts of scrutiny, three parts of curiosity, and three parts of disgust in the look.
