Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

It's early this morning.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua went up the mountain carrying guns.

The bamboo factory has recently produced some bamboo products and furniture, and will not continue to produce new products until this batch of goods is sold out.

The two of them had been relatively free these two days, and suddenly they became interested in going to the mountains to hunt some game.

The two hunting dogs ran back and forth happily. The air in the forest was very fresh, and the couple couldn't help but quicken their pace.

They first came to the wild chestnut forest. After a winter, there were actually many saplings half a person's height.

There is no doubt that the reproductive capacity of wild chestnut forests has also been enhanced.

Other weeds and shrubs grew so wildly that it became very difficult to move in the mountains and forests.

"Third brother, the vegetation in this area is too lush. It doesn't seem to have been like this before."

Pan Lianhua, carrying a gun on his back and holding a hatchet in his hand, cleared the way and couldn't help but complain.

Most areas along the road were still normal, but near the wild chestnut forest, the vegetation gradually became dense, and the paths that were trampled during last year's large-scale picking were no longer there.

"The soil and water in this area are better, so it's not surprising that the vegetation grows better than elsewhere. It looks like we'll have another bumper harvest during the picking season."

Fang Wei made up a lie to the other party. No one knew what happened here better than him.

With the blessing of these properties, the wild chestnut forest has not only accelerated its growth rate, but also significantly improved its various resistances. Its quality has been completely transformed. How could it not grow well?

Various plants in the designated area also benefited from this, which led to the current scene.

"careful!"

Pan Lianhua didn't take it seriously. She had often been in the forest before and had seen many incredible situations. Nothing in front of her was unacceptable.

Suddenly, she stopped and let out a low cry.

Fang Wei has the bonus of personal attributes, especially the attribute superposition effect in the designated area. He has already seen the silver ring snake in front of him.

He casually broke off a branch, walked forward quickly, quickly used the branch to fork the snake, and then reached out and grabbed it.

His movements were as smooth as flowing water. Before Pan Lianhua could even move, the snake had been completely dealt with.

"It's a pity I didn't bring any tools. Snake venom is a good thing."

Fang Wei said this with a smile, then threw the processed dead snake into the backpack behind him.

"Third brother, you're getting better and better at catching snakes. By the way, did you notice that this snake is bigger than any I've ever seen before?

I wonder if there are any treasures in this area? Otherwise, why are the plants and animals different from those in other places?"

Pan Lianhua's observation was very detailed, and the silver ring snake just now was indeed larger than the average silver ring snake.

Fang Wei got the answer after a little thought. The vegetation in this area is dense, and the attribute bonus effects in the plants will be transmitted through the food chain.

Even if there is a significant attenuation, there will be some effect after all.

To put it simply, if herbivores eat well, all animals in the food chain will benefit.

To put it bluntly, the mosquitoes around here are bigger than those in other places.

As they were talking, two hunting dogs started barking and drove a few hares towards them.

"Bang! Bang!"

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua quickly raised their guns, each aimed at a hare, and then shot directly.

Two hares fell down immediately. Although he hadn't touched a gun for a long time, his shooting skills had not deteriorated.

The couple smiled at each other and quickly ran forward to collect the prey.

They came out mainly to relax and experience the joy of harvesting prey. At the same time, they were also a little craving for wild game, so they had decided to go to the mountains today.

Because of the gunshots, the two men quickly left the wild chestnut forest.

The sound of gunfire will scare nearby animals, making it impossible to continue hunting.

"It seems that when we come to pick chestnuts this year, this area needs to be cleaned up in advance. It would be bad if something unexpected happened."

Fang Wei thought to himself that this area had become dangerous.

The rich plant resources will attract more animals, and in addition to poisonous snakes, they may also attract ferocious beasts. After all, this is a rare natural hunting ground.

It’s okay for him and Pan Lianhua, but if the members come to pick chestnuts, they have to be careful.

The two continued on their way and came to a wild tea-oil forest, where they found a muntjac. Given their marksmanship, they could kill the prey as soon as they found it, so there was basically no way it could escape.

It was already noon, and the two of them ate some dry food and drank some water, then decided to go back.

The couple goes out hunting just to spice up their lives. They are happy if they get something, and they don't pursue quantity.

"Lotus, please take a detour on the way back. I'm going to check out some herbs."

Fang Wei had already marked the locations of the patches of herbs and designated those areas.

The mountain was so huge that it was impossible for him to cover the entire mountain, so he could only designate it in sections.

In fact, this is a good thing. Look at the situation near the wild chestnut forest and oil tea forest. If the entire mountain is placed in the designated area, no one will dare to go up the mountain.

Pan Lianhua was shocked again. She followed the man to a place where several herbs were gathered, and then saw the same scene.

The vegetation in these areas grows so lushly that some herbs look like they have been there for many years.

"Third brother, we're rich! With all these perennial herbs, if we pick a few more, we can sell them for thousands of yuan."

Pan Lianhua then laughed. If the third brother could find such a good place, wouldn’t it mean that the family could make a lot of money again?
To be honest, she used to think she was very powerful in the mountains, but after seeing the man's ability, she felt inferior. There are indeed many good places and good things in the mountains, but they are difficult to find. Unexpectedly, here in Fang Wei, it is as easy as drinking cold water.

"Yeah, I've found several more patches of herbs like this. Wait a little longer, and come pick them after you finish the summer harvest and planting. You won't have to work so hard with me."

Fang Wei smiled. Picking herbs was also a hard job, and he would not let his wife suffer with it.

The two returned to the village chatting and laughing. In the evening, they stewed a large pot of deer meat and called Fang Ping's family as well as Guan Chongyang, Sun Zhaodong, Zheng Hu and Deng Yuanen over.

The Bungarus nigripes is prepared for use as medicine and after being prepared it is used to make medicinal wine.

The two rabbits were handed over to my sister, and she could do whatever she wanted with them, either make them into dried meat or smoked bacon.

[Harvested prey, points +30, total points: 516346 points.]

After everyone had eaten and drunk well, they left.

Guan Chongyang and Taoist Sun did not leave. After the room was quiet, the old man said:

"Third Brother, something's not quite right. I heard someone say today that the former bandit Chen Xilong hid all the treasures he had accumulated throughout his life in a tomb at Tiger's Mouth."

"Huh? There has been no news for so many years, how come there are rumors all of a sudden?" Fang Wei was also confused. The key point was that this rumor was very detailed and specifically mentioned the Tiger's Mouth.

If everyone goes treasure hunting, maybe they can really find the tomb that Guan Chongyang found for Chen Xilong.

"Third Brother, we've been to that place before, and there's actually no gold, silver, or jewelry as rumored. However, someone already got to that tomb, and there were two groups of people there.

This matter is most likely related to them. Hehe, Chen Xilong has done many evil things, and now he can't even protect his ancestral grave. This is his retribution."

Old Man Guan concluded that the news was spread by the two groups of people who had entered the tomb before.

As for why the other party did this, he was too lazy to think about it. Today he just wanted to tell Fang Weiyi something. After saying this, he and Taoist Sun got up and left.

Such a small thing spread like wildfire. In just a few days, almost everyone in the county knew about it.

The county sent a letter to Lin County to inquire about the truth of the matter. Lin County organized people to search the Lao Hu Zui area and actually dug up the tombs of Chen Xilong's family.

Subsequently, the owner of the tomb was moved out and buried elsewhere.

Lin County even called in an archaeological team, who dug deep into the ground but did not find the legendary gold, silver, and treasures.

Later, the two counties jointly issued a notice to suppress the matter.

But then, even more sensational rumors came out.

Rumor has it that Chen Yongkang and Chen Mazi from Yaoling Commune are Chen Xilong's illegitimate sons.

Because Chen Xilong knew that he had done a lot of bad things, he secretly kept a woman outside and had a son with this woman.

This matter was kept so secret that almost no one knew about it.

The rumors were very credible, and everyone was digging up old stories. Chen Mazi just couldn't explain his own life experience, and he didn't even know who his father was.

It's strange that most people believe this rumor.

The county could not continue to turn a deaf ear and dumb, so it held a special meeting to study the matter concerning Chen Mazi.

"I think this is slander. Chen Yongkang has worked diligently and uncomplainingly for many years and is a good comrade.

We can't just deal with him casually based on some unfounded rumors. Let me just say one thing: is there any evidence to prove that Chen Yongkang is Chen Xilong's son?"

As soon as the meeting began, some people supported Chen Yongkang.

After someone took the lead, more people began to speak up for Chen Yongkang.

Tang Ze watched coldly, but sneered in his heart. These people are in cahoots with Chen Yongkang. Don't think everyone doesn't know what they've been doing behind the scenes.

"But no one has proven that Chen Yongkang isn't Chen Xilong's son. Comrades, Chen Yongkang currently holds a key position. If there's any doubt about his background, it would put us in a very passive position."

Tang Ze glanced at Gao Peng from the Armed Forces Department, who understood what he meant and immediately stood up to object.

Gao Peng succeeded Guo Yongqing in this position and is not the same kind of person as these guys at all.

"Yes, even Chen Yongkang herself can't clearly explain her own life experience. This is very strange. Her mother passed away a few years ago. There must have been an explanation before that, right?"

Later, someone else stood up to express his opinion. This matter itself was a weakness of Chen Mazi. Otherwise, he would not have stayed in the commune with the momentum of the previous years.

Chen Mazi's background is not in the county at all, it is at a higher level.

Then everyone argued endlessly, and Tang Ze sat there with his eyes half closed, not saying a word.

Finally, he said:

"Since there's no evidence on either side, it's difficult to directly deal with Chen Yongkang. My suggestion is to send someone to investigate his background and transfer him away from Yaoling Commune.

Well, let's stay at the county cultural center for the time being. This is also to protect Comrade Chen Yongkang. Once the investigation is complete, we can discuss further handling opinions."

Tang Ze's move was very clever and made full use of the existing rules.

For comrades in important positions, their history must be clear and transparent. If there are any unresolved issues, they must be investigated first; otherwise, they will not be appointed.

Now everyone had nothing to say, and Chen Yongkang was transferred from Yaoling Commune to work at the County Cultural Center.

His benefits were retained, but he had no real job, so it was nice for him to just muddle through.

When the news reached Team 2, Guan Chongyang wasn't the only one who was happy. Zheng Hu, Zhao Jinsheng, and others were all very happy, and Fang Wei also felt much more relaxed.

Chen Mazi is a man who does more harm than good. Everyone feels annoyed when he hangs around in the commune.

"Okay, everyone, go back to your work. Huzi, come with me to the chicken farm on the mountain."

At the team headquarters, everyone was talking about Chen Mazi, and everyone seemed very excited.

Fang Wei smiled and waved his hand, telling everyone to stop bragging and gossiping all day and get down to work.

Then he went to the mountain with Zheng Hu.

[Poultry House No. 1] It was a thriving scene, with 3000 chickens walking and looking for food in the grass, and Mr. Luo and others were busy with their own things.

Compared to the size of the second team, 3000 chickens are really not a lot.

But everything is difficult at the beginning, so it is better to be cautious in everything you do.

"Captain Fang, Captain Zheng, our chicks are growing very fast. Basically, we only need to feed them once a day. The rest of the time, they have to find food on their own."

When Mr. Luo saw Fang Wei and Zheng Hu, he stopped what he was doing and walked over to greet them.

"Engineer Luo, I think the chickens are growing well too. But don't be stingy with the feed. Feed them when they need it. We can't be short of that little bit."

Fang Wei responded with a smile, mostly joking.

Zheng Hu went to talk to a few educated youth. They learned a lot of knowledge about breeding from Luo Gong and made rapid progress.

Engineer Luo turned his head to glance at Zheng Hu and the other educated youths and said, "After all, they are educated people. They learn things quickly and are willing to work hard."

"That's fine. I'll speak for them next time when the work points are evaluated."

Fang Wei nodded with satisfaction. It was too early to draw conclusions now. Let's wait and see.

But he is very satisfied with Mr. Luo's work. The eight people assigned to the team this time have performed very well and each of them is a talent.

On the surface, these people cannot enjoy better treatment, but in private the team will secretly give them some compensation.

Therefore, whether it is food rations or other benefits, they will actually not receive less than members with full work points.

Afterwards, Engineer Luo accompanied the two captains on a tour of the poultry house and gave a detailed introduction to the situation there.

After Fang Wei and Zheng Hu finished listening, they turned and left. [Poultry House No. 1] With Luo Gong around, they didn't need to worry too much.

The two of them went down the mountain and went to [Poultry House No. 2]. (End of this chapter)
