Chapter 361 Going into the Mountains with Bai Xiaoya

"You should have told me earlier if you wanted ginseng. Second brother is here to find ginseng. Why would he look for an outsider?"

Zhang Xingwang heard this and said:

"I want to buy more and sell it to the pharmacy to make some money."

Bai Xiaoya's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she replied in a flattering voice:

"If you say so, I know a lot of people who are looking for ginseng!"

"Then please ask Sister Bai to contact the hunters and ginseng seekers in the nearby villages. I will have a meeting with them and then give you the introduction fee. How about that?"

Bai Xiaoya gently pushed Zhang Xingwang, and first pretended to be indifferent to the world, but then she couldn't pretend anymore, and then she said with a smile that she would arrange it right away, saying that talking about money would hurt the relationship between the siblings, so he just had to watch and do his best...

Apart from other things, Bai Xiaoya is indeed very well-known in the neighborhood. In the evening, Zhang Xingwang reached agreements with people from two nearby villages, which meant that he had to stay for a few more days.

Bai Xiaoya was quite happy about this, and then she took Zhang Xingwang to her third brother's place. After hearing the purpose of their visit, her third brother immediately rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, and a trace of reluctance gradually appeared on his expressionless face as he handed over two boxes.

Bai Xiaoya's pretty face darkened as she pointed at Zhang Xingwang angrily and said:

"Third brother, it's my little brother who wants to buy it, why are you handing it to me? You make me look like a bandit!"

The third brother's expressionless face showed a hint of embarrassment. He handed it to Zhang Xingwang and finally said:

"got used to…"

Bai Xiaoya's third brother actually has a good-looking face. His eyes are quite bright when he's not in a daze, but he looks a little serious with a stern face.

When negotiating the price, the third brother was very quick. He was very frugal with words and pointed at the two boxes and said:

"Fifteen years old, 80 yuan."

Then he took the money and counted it carefully, forcing a smile to Zhang Xingwang. After the smile disappeared, he said calmly:

"Xiaoya, he is your boyfriend, right?"

Without waiting for Bai Xiaoya to reply, he continued:

"If he uses it, the third brother will have better ones."

This time, the third brother's tone seemed a little lonely. After hearing this, Bai Xiaoya quickly replied that he didn't need it, and then pulled Zhang Xingwang out.

Later, Zhang Xingwang understood what his third brother meant by "attracting Yin". When he was young, his third brother was a ginseng hunter. Once when he went into the mountains with his wife, he came across an eighty-year-old ginseng.

There are many rules here. The third brother started working after he shouted. As a result, he got so excited that his voice was a little loud that he attracted two wolves. Then the two of them didn't care about the ginseng and retreated while scaring the wolves.

But the third brother brought a weapon with him. While the wolf was still testing him, he took out his gun and shot one dead on the spot.

But wolves are social animals, and the remaining one called on a group of wolves to help.

The two were kept by the wolves until a thick fog came at night. The wolves disappeared without them noticing, but they returned to the place where they found the ginseng without realizing it...

Zhang Xingwang shuddered when he heard this. He didn’t believe these things before, but now he felt like his soul was traveling through time. He quickly asked:

"I didn't see my sister-in-law just now, is it my third brother..."

It was also the first time that Zhang Xingwang saw a sad expression on the optimistic Bai Xiaoya's face.

"The two of them picked ginseng, and then found that they couldn't find a way out of the mountain. Then it rained for several days in a row. They were trapped for a week before they came back. They looked like wild men..."

Zhang Xingwang was speechless and replied helplessly:

"From your expression I thought..."

The sadness on Bai Xiaoya's face did not diminish at all, and she continued:

"My third brother came back and was beaten badly by his two brothers-in-law. It was cold and raining heavily in the mountains at night, and the two of them fell ill. My third aunt said that my sister-in-law would never get pregnant again..."

Zhang Xingwang was stunned and said with emotion:

"Your third brother is really pitiful. He didn't even think about adopting a child. After all, he needs someone to take care of him in his old age."

Bai Xiaoya replied unhappily:

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not like Third Sister-in-law can't have children. You saw her last time. One of those kids is Third Brother's son..."

"I will never interrupt a story again."

"Third brother must have encountered some problems during those few days, but he just didn't tell me. Anyway, after he came back, the quiet third brother became even quieter."

Zhang Xingwang got up at dawn the next day. Today was the day when the villagers went up the mountain together. When we say "group", it means adult young men and a few old men.

The main purpose is not hunting, but to stroll along the woods on the side of the mountain and drive away the prey. According to the second brother, with the scent of so many people left, the wild boars will not easily leave the woods to destroy the crops even if they are in a panic. By the way, they can see if they can encounter any prey that is not as good as them.

"What if it rains and the smell is gone?"

The second brother looked at the curious Zhang Xingwang and replied with his back teeth bitten:

"Then let's do it again..."

The people who came out formed a professional three-three formation and walked along the fields in the village into the forest. Zhang Xingwang and Bai Xiaoya, plus Wangcai and Fugui, formed a team. According to the second brother, these two brothers together were much more reliable than Xiaobai in the village.

Sixth Brother originally wanted to take the two dogs with him, but the two dogs felt that they had no future with him, so they first perfunctorily hung around Sixth Brother for a few times, and then jumped up and down around Zhang Xingwang, unable to stop at all.

The Sixth Brother helplessly looked at the two brothers' disdainful eyes and helped them to be together. However, from that time on, the Sixth Brother looked at Zhang Xingwang in the same way as he looked at Bai Xiaoya...

Zhang Xingwang thought this was an opportunity. All the nearby villages were heading up the mountain, so there would naturally be more prey in the depths of the forest. He said to Bai Xiaoya:

"Why don't you stay with your second brother? I want to go for a walk in the woods."

Bai Xiaoya's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately patted the bow and arrow behind her and replied:

"I'll go with you. I'll protect you on the way."

Bai Xiaoya was dressed in a tight outfit, carrying a bow and arrow and a bag on her back, looking very professional.

"Will Second Brother look for us everywhere? Why don't you tell Second Brother before you leave?"

"I told my second brother when I came here. Don't worry, I'm here to be alright."

Then the two of them set off to walk deep into the forest. Bai Xiaoya was indeed well prepared, saying that she had brought a full set of things for the mountain in her bag. Then she asked Zhang Xingwang what was in his bag, and whether it was delicious. After all, she saw that Zhang Xingwang had gotten a super big bag from somewhere and carried it on his back.

Then I watched Zhang Xingwang fetch and fetch, and finally took out a pistol, and then he and the two dogs fell silent...

"Sister Bai, as you know, I also work part-time as a purchaser, so it makes sense for me to have a pistol."

After listening to this, Bai Xiaoya quietly leaned towards Zhang Xingwang, posed like a little woman and replied:

"Then it's your turn to protect me, but you really didn't bring anything to eat?"
