Chapter 197: There is nowhere to find when you step on the iron shoes
Ouyang Xianxue sneezed, took a sip of the soup bowl in both hands, and said with a long sigh: "Brother-in-law, this place is so big, and the jade pendant you said is so small, it's not easy to find." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yuan Fang said helplessly: "Everyone just do their best, don't be reluctant, of course it's good to find it, and there's no way if you can't find it." ”
After drinking the soup, his body warmed up a lot, and Yu Jingqiu asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, you took us so far to find a jade pendant?" What's so important about that thing? ”
Yuan Fang smiled perfunctorily and said: "I don't know the specifics, anyway, I know that it is very important." Yu Jingqiu sighed and didn't ask any more, she knew that there were some things that she shouldn't inquire.
After resting for a while, everyone recovered their body temperature and was ready to enter the water again, Yuan Fang handed them a few sticks and said, "In this way, let's use these sticks to make marks, divide the area, find them little by little, and try to be as careful as possible." ”
Wang Tiezhu looked at the stick and was still a little inexplicable, but Ouyang Xianxue's eyes lit up, and he praised and said: "Brother-in-law is really thoughtful, so that you won't waste time and look for it repeatedly." As he spoke, he took the sticks and jumped into the water, inserting them one by one into the water.
The Maiqing River is not wide, more than ten meters away, the river is not deep, the deepest place is just not overhead, more than a dozen wooden sticks are inserted into the water, every four form a square area, at a glance.
Wang Tiezhu patted his thigh: "This method is good, each person is responsible for a piece, and look for it downstream little by little, so you don't have to look for it like just now." ”
Everyone went into the water again, looking for it little by little according to Yuan Fang's method, Yuan Fang, lit a fire on the shore to boil water, set up a tent to chop wood, and then waited, he knew very well that it was difficult to find such a small piece of jade pendant in such a big place, but he had to try it, this thing was really important, and it would be very troublesome if it fell into the hands of some people.
After a busy day, there is no gain, but it can't be completely said, the jade pendant was not found, but the fish was not less, they were all big fish of more than two catties, and there were more than 20 of them.
The sky was getting dark, Ouyang Xianxue and the others were warming up around the fire, Yuan Fang looked at the village not far away, and said to everyone: "Okay, let's go here today, wait for you to change your clothes, let's go to the village to stay, and come back tomorrow." ”
Ouyang Xianxue's face was a little pale, and the river was too cold: "Brother-in-law, didn't you bring a tent?" ”
Yuan Fang shook his head: "No, you guys are frozen like this, you have to be warm and sleep well." Ouyang Xianxue sighed, she can now say that she obeyed Yuan Fang's words, and the others had no opinion, and when the chill on her body was dispelled, she changed into dry clothes, and the group simply cleaned up, and walked to the village not far away with today's loot.
The village is not big, there are more than 100 households, Yuan Fang asked several families to stay, the other party saw that this large group of people refused, no way, the houses in the village are not big, and the people themselves have to live in no extra rooms, not to mention that Yuan Fang has too many people to receive.
Fortunately, there was a kind person to point out, Yuan Fang and his entourage came to the south of the village, knocked on the door, and a box of sixty or seventy-year-old people came out, and when they learned the intention of Yuan Fang and others, they first looked at them and felt that they didn't look like bad people, so they nodded and agreed.
The old man lives alone, his body is quite tough, he has no children under his knees, his daughter is married to another county, and he only comes back once in a long time, there are three rooms in the house, the old man lives in one by himself, and the remaining two rooms are prepared for his daughter, just clean it up.
After others were busy for a day, Yuan Fang couldn't bear to let them work anymore, so he drove Ouyang Xianxue and the others back to the room to rest, carrying water, chopping wood, cooking and other work.
If it was before, Yuan Fang could not do these jobs alone, but now it is different, after the training of recruits, his body has become a lot stronger, although it is still a little difficult to carry water, but it is still no problem to rest a few times.
Originally, Yuan Fang planned to boil more hot water for everyone to take a hot bath to ward off the cold, but when they asked everyone's opinions, they all refused.
For dinner, of course, Yuan Fang prepared fish soup, although the craftsmanship was average, everyone still ate with a smile, five big fish of more than two catties were not left, and even the fish soup was drunk with steamed buns.
After eating and drinking, Yuan Fang drove them to rest, gave the remaining fish to the old man, inquired about the situation in the village, and ran to the doctor alone to get a lot of herbs to ward off the cold, and boiled a lot of medicinal soup to take it the next day.
Early the next morning, Yuan Fang and his party set off after breakfast, Yuan Fang left the old man some money, and asked him to help buy some vegetables and meat to eat in the evening, and the old man agreed to come down, because the remaining money was enough for him to live for a long time.
Another day passed, still no harvest, when he came back in the evening, the old man was waiting in the courtyard with a sad face, seeing Yuan Fang come back, full of apologies and grievances, after talking and learning that Yuan Fang had just left not long in the morning, the old man Wang took the copper money that Yuan Fang gave him to go to the market in the next village to buy some meat and vegetables, but before he left the village, he was stopped by the ruffian in the village, robbed him of his money, and threatened him to send more money tomorrow, otherwise they would demolish their house.
After listening to Old Man Wang's crying, Ouyang Xian Xue Dai raised her eyebrows slightly, and said angrily: "It's so hateful, how can there be such a bastard, even an old man is bullied, brother-in-law, let's go to them to ask for an explanation." ”
Yuan Fang looked at Ouyang Xianxue, who was full of violent tendencies: "I see that you don't want to ask for an explanation, but you want to kill someone." ”
Ouyang Xianxue's careful thinking was exposed, and she said embarrassedly: "Brother-in-law, those bastards are a scourge when they live, or just kill them." ”
Yu Jingqiu nodded and agreed: "That's right, kill it cleanly, otherwise if we leave, they will still oppress the good, we have not done this kind of thing before, brother-in-law, don't worry, leave it to us, and ensure that no one is left alive." ”
Wang Tiezhu patted his chest and said: "Leave this kind of rough work to me, it's enough to have me and Shuigen, you can just watch it." ”
The more Old Man Wang listened, the more frightened he became, and he looked at Yuan Fang and the others with a frightened face, he could see that these young people were not joking, killing people, they said it so easily, who did they take in, Old Man Wang didn't care about the money that was robbed now, he hoped that these evil stars would get out of here quickly, and not really make trouble to affect themselves.
Yuan Fang glared at a few people, and scolded: "Nonsense, how can you kill people indiscriminately, you are ......"
Glancing at Old Man Wang, Yuan Fang continued: "We are not robbers. ”
Yuan Fang said to Old Man Wang: "Old Wang, you go back and rest first, don't worry, we're joking, don't take it seriously." ”
