Because Shen Zixi was still young and glutinous rice was difficult to digest, Shen An Ning did not give her any and fed her half a broken white steamed bun, which caused the little girl to look at her several times, her eyes seemed full of accusations.
Tit for tat, Shen An Ning didn't dare to look at the little girl's aggrieved expression.
Because Liu Jiaman still had to take the iron sled back to the farm, seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Anning took some dried lychees that Cao Jingheng had brought over last time and said, "An older brother of my relative is serving in the army in Guangzhou. This is a specialty from there. Take some back and try it."
Liu Jiaman took it and put it in her bag. "Of course I won't be polite with you. Let's go. Take me to the village entrance."
"That's a must. You've come all the way here, how can I let you leave by yourself?"
The timing was just right. The two of them had just stood next to the big tree at the entrance of the village when they saw the iron sled from afar.
Liu Jiaman waved her hand and watched the sled approach and stop.
"An Ning, the farm will be slaughtering pigs and sheep before the New Year. Remember to go. The snow won't be as thick as it is now. Just ride slowly."
"Okay, I'll remember that. Go up quickly and remember to drink some ginger water when you get back."
Watching the sled slide away, Shen An Ning walked slowly towards home on the snow. Passing by the educated youth site where the male educated youth lived, the door was closed, so Shen An Ning did not go up and knock on the door. This year, the old educated youth were all preparing to go home for the New Year, and she originally wanted to ask them when they bought their tickets.
What Shen Anning didn't know was that just after she walked away, two male educated youths walked out of the educated youth site and headed towards the back mountain.
The mountain behind Wangtu Village is not a dangerous mountain and is connected to the mountain of the Second Farm. This is something everyone knows.
Now in the mountains.
A group of people were searching for something in an orderly manner. Even though the snow on the ground was a bit thick, their movements did not seem to be slow at all.
"Boss, we've been here for two days and haven't found a single hair. Are you trying to deceive us by not accepting those two guys?"
The bearded man was tall and strong, with a face full of flesh and a wolfskin coat. He didn't look like a good person. He stared at the tall and thin man who had just spoken in front of him, and some doubts began to arise in his heart.
He waved the machete in his hand and said, "Let's look for them again. Didn't those two people say they would come to the mountain today? Let's wait for them to come. Damn it."
The bearded man was already furious at this moment. His younger brother met two educated youths in the town, who said that there was a treasure buried on the mountain near Fangshan Commune. They had agreed that the two educated youths would take them there to find it today.
That day, his younger brother, the tall and thin Hu Daniu, asked about the approximate location, so they came to look for it two days in advance. They originally wanted to take it all for themselves, but who would have thought that the one who was playing with the eagle would end up getting his eyes pecked by the eagle.
After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Daniu, you take half of the brothers and wait for them here. I will take the rest of the brothers to hide first and we will act according to the situation later."
Looking at the road leading to the top of the mountain, the bearded man's eyes were full of gloom. You know, he can get to where he is today and still have a bunch of younger brothers following him at this time. He is not a pushover. Now that he knows there is a treasure, it is destined to be his.
Hu Daniu looked at his boss. Having followed him for so many years, he naturally knew his boss's temper.
"Yes, sir, just watch and see what I'm doing."
Seeing that the bearded man and his gang of younger brothers had walked away, Hu Daniu ordered the remaining brothers to wipe out all traces nearby. Since it was a show, they might as well do it thoroughly.
After waiting for about half an hour, the group of people on the mountainside finally waited for Li Haotian and Yang Zhengcheng who arrived late.
Hu Daniu looked at the two men, leaning against the tree trunk, clapping his palm with the knife in his hand, "Brothers, you really kept us waiting."
"Brother Niu, you misunderstood. We live with the educated youth in the village. We need to find a suitable excuse to leave, otherwise it will arouse suspicion, don't you think?"
snort!
"Okay, now that we're here, let's hurry up and go treasure hunting."
Li Haotian and Yang Zhengcheng exchanged glances and walked up the mountain along the route they had already explored.
The two men were also very angry. Their original plan was to wait until the old educated youth returned to the city for the New Year. When there were fewer people at the educated youth site, they would come back to look for things, which would not arouse suspicion.
Who knew that these people would insist on not agreeing to anything and said that if they wanted to cooperate, they would have to wait for two days at most.
If the people above had not asked them to come here to carry out the exploration mission, this kind of hard job would be taken by anyone who wanted it, and they would have to serve two young ladies. After finally getting some news and reporting it back, they were expecting promotions and wealth, but then they were told that the road was blocked by heavy snow and the people sent from above could not get through.
If they were not targeting these people as scapegoats, why would they come to us and ask for cooperation? To put it nicely, these people have some skills. To put it bluntly, they are just former tomb robbers and bandits who have come together, but the things they do are still not decent.
The two of them circled around the mountain, climbing higher and higher. Hu Daniu and a group of brothers following behind were becoming more and more impatient.
If you go any higher you will reach the top. Who would put their treasure on the top of the mountain? Are you stupid?
"Hey, two in front, stop for a moment."
"What's wrong, Brother Niu?" Yang Zhengcheng looked at the group of people who were suppressing their resentment and asked politely.
"Are you sure the treasure is on the mountain? I live in the town too. Can anything be hidden on the top of the mountain? Ah, are you kidding me?"
Seeing a group of people reaching for their swords, Li Haotian jumped out to smooth things over. "Brother Niu, please be patient. Didn't you notice that we're not walking in a straight line? We're not on the same hilltop anymore."
"Just follow me. There are only two of us, and you have a bunch of brothers. Are you afraid of us? I promise there will be treasures where we go."
After going around and around, the group finally reached the top of the mountain next to Gengjiatun. It must be said that Li Haotian and Yang Zhengcheng are capable. You know, the villagers of the two villages did not dare to climb the mountain next to Gengjiatun. They heard many years ago that it was too dangerous. In recent years, few people who went into the mountains came back, and many people fell.
"Brother Niu, we're here. The rest of the journey depends on our brothers' eagle claw hooks."
Hu Daniu looked down from where he was standing and saw a flat land surrounded by two mountains. He was shocked.
