Northeast Golden Gradient Treats My Home as a Confinement Center

Chapter 222 Abandoned Forest Farm
Halfway up Changbai Mountain, a group of people sat down separately to rest and recuperate.

Not far behind them, there were two huge beasts lying on the ground, helping to look at the wind and being alert to everything around them.

Siberian tiger and blind bear!
At this moment, everyone was not paying attention to the two giant beasts, but their eyes were on an old man smoking a cigarette.

"Village Chief Shi, if you have any channels, please talk to Expert Shen." Li Zhengyi said in a deep voice.

Li Zhengyi was not surprised by Shi Baoguo's sudden interruption.

Shi Baoguo is the village chief of Shiwu Village. He is a local tyrant in the Changbai Mountain area. He naturally knows where the suitable venues are.

"Village Chief Shi, you can talk as you please." Shen Xing took out a pack of Changbai Mountain cigarettes from his pocket. These cigarettes were left over from the last time Old Deng came to his house.

Shen Xing doesn't like this, but this thing comes in handy when he's out asking people to do things for him.

Seeing Shen Xing handing him a cigarette, Shi Baoguo was stunned, and quickly bowed slightly and took it respectfully with both hands.

"Want one?" Shen Xing signaled Shi Bao with his eyes.

"Thank you, thank you Expert Shen." Shi Bao also took it respectfully and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Shen Xing gave one to Li Zhengyi, Deputy Director Wang, and Lao Deng.

Although Changbai Mountain is high and densely forested, smoking is not a problem as long as you put out the cigarette butts in time. In addition, there has been a lot of rain recently and the forest is humid.

"What about me? There's also me!"

Seeing that Shen Xing gave the cigarette but not him, Bai Zhiyong became anxious. His look was exactly like that of Ng Mang-tat, who opened his eyes wide, spread his hands and said, "I haven't gotten in the car yet."

"Why are you smoking? Go away." Shen Xing was too lazy to pay attention to this troublemaker.

Bai Zhiyong had a sad face and sighed.

"Brother Yong, here." Shi Bao took out a pack of cigarettes from his camouflage pants pocket and pushed Bai Zhiyong with his elbow.

After all, Bai Zhiyong is Jiang Shan's uncle, and Jiang Shan is Shen's girlfriend. If Shi Bao wants to curry favor with Shen Xing, he still has to have a good relationship with Bai Zhiyong.

Shi Bao was very puzzled by one thing: why did Expert Shen...seem to dislike Brother Yong a little?
Seeing Shi Bao inviting him to smoke, Bai Zhiyong was a little flattered.

Although Bai Zhiyong has a good reputation in the village, the village chief Shi Baoguo and his son are wealthy and have little contact with him. Today, they took the initiative to show their friendship and even invited him to smoke, which surprised Bai Zhiyong a little.

"Oh, it's Huazi again. Brother Bao, you are too polite." Bai Zhiyong took a cigarette from the cigarette box and said with a smile.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you. I have another one in my room. I'll give it to you when we go down the mountain." Shi Bao stuffed the remaining half bag of Huazi into Bai Zhiyong's hand.

Bai Zhiyong was dumbfounded. What happened to Shibao today? Why was he so generous?

"Brother Bao, you...you are too polite. This...this...I can't take this." Bai Zhiyong refused and wanted to return half the pack of Huazi to Shi Bao.

"Keep it, Brother Yong. Congratulations on finding a big boss. When you become successful in the future, don't forget to bring your brother along!" Shi Bao patted Bai Zhiyong on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Bai Zhiyong was confused. "Rich? How did I become rich?"

Looking at the half bag of Huazi in his hand, Bai Zhiyong was stunned. He didn't know what Shi Bao was talking about.

On the other side, Shi Baoguo blew out a puff of smoke and said in a hoarse voice:
"I do know that there is a forest farm near our Shiwu Village. The land is quite large, but it has been abandoned for some time."

Shi Baoguo sat on a fallen dead tree, squinted his eyes, held the cigarette butt between his index finger and thumb, and recalled an old memory.

"Abandoned forest farm?" Shen Xing was delighted when he heard that.

This place is good. Since it is a forest farm, it must be far away from the village, but it must not be too far away, otherwise Shi Baoguo would not have said it was near their village. Shen Xing became interested in this forest farm. It should be good to flatten it and build a wildlife rescue center on it!
"Where is the forest farm?" Shen Xing asked curiously.

"It's not far. It's just on the hill east of our Shiwu Village. It takes 20 minutes to walk there." Shi Baoguo took a deep puff of his cigarette and replied with a frown.

Judging from the expression on his face, he seems to be hiding something.

"Village Chief Shi, this forest farm is great. Do you know the boss who manages this forest farm? I could help you talk to him and see if we can let Shen Xing rent it and build a house on it." Old Deng also chimed in.

Shen Xing built a house for wild animals, which was a meritorious deed, even more noble than the forest rangers in their nature reserve.

Great, needless to say.

Therefore, Old Deng also fully supported Shen Xing in doing something big.

"I know him, but I can't get in touch with him for the time being. I have to ask him." Shi Baoguo glanced at Shen Xing and said in a deep voice.

"There's no rush. Take your time. As long as we can get in touch with him, we can negotiate no matter how much he offers." Shen Xing nodded.

This forest farm has been abandoned for so many years, so it is normal that the owner cannot be found for a while. Since Shi Baoguo knows the owner, he must have the contact information.

"Village Chief Shi, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. Please make a trip and act as an introducer. I will reward you handsomely later."

Shen Xing was really interested in the forest farm. He raised many animals, including ferocious beasts like tigers and blind bears, and he urgently needed to move out.

"There's no rush about that..." Shi Baoguo waved his hands hurriedly, but his brows were still in the shape of a "川" character, and it seemed that he was hiding something on his mind.

"Dad, isn't that forest farm..." When Shi Bao heard his father mention the forest farm, he felt it was more and more familiar. He was about to ask, but was stopped by Shi Baoguo's eyes.

Li Zhengyi is an old policeman from the Municipal Public Security Bureau with strong investigative ability. He keenly captured this detail and guessed that there must be a story behind it!
"Expert Shen, if you are interested in this forest farm, I can ask Xiao Jiang to help check it out when I go back to prevent you from being cheated." When Li Zhengyi spoke, his eyes fell on Shi Baoguo intentionally or unintentionally.

"Ah, being cheated?" Shen Xing was stunned when he heard Li Zhengyi's words.

If you just rent a forest farm or buy a piece of land, will you get cheated?
"Dad, if you really want to give this forest farm to Expert Shen, that place is..." Shi Bao lowered his voice and said to his father Shi Baoguo.

He looked evasive, uncomfortable, and hesitant when speaking, as if the forest farm was a "taboo" to him.

"Don't worry about it and shut up." Shi Baoguo glared at his son Shi Bao.

He puffed away the Changbai Mountain cigarette in his hand, threw the empty butt at his feet, and put out the sparks with his Liberation shoes.

Shi Baoguo suddenly raised his head, narrowed his wrinkled eyes, and said slowly to Shen Xing:
"Expert Shen, I do know the owner of that forest farm. I was carrying wood there more than a decade ago."

There are only a few jobs to do when working in a forest farm: chopping wood, carrying wood, and peeling bark, all of which are hard labor.

Before Shi Baoguo became the village chief of Shiwu Village, he worked in that forest farm.

The name of the forest farm is quite festive, it is called "Zhaocai Forest Farm".

"There is an old man in my village who used to be the accountant in the forest farm. He should have the boss's contact information."

"But..." Shi Baoguo hesitated and paused.

"But what?" Shen Xing asked.

"But someone died in that place."
