Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

Chapter 464

The person Meng Haisheng was waiting for in Baique Town was none other than Lin Jinyan.

He said that he could take a leave, but Meng Haisheng had already come to Baique Town, and Lin Jinyan didn't know where to start.

When Meng Haisheng had almost collected all the herbs, Lin Jinyan finally came late.

"Brother, you are finally here. If you don't come, we will go into the mountains by ourselves."

Meng Haisheng was envious when he saw Lin Jinyan in camouflage uniform. His clothes were so cool.

"I always keep my word. If you came a few days earlier, do you have any news about Jinhui?"

Meng Haisheng shook his head. Although Baique Town was small, there were too many immigrants coming and going. Meng Haisheng couldn't find out any news about Lin Jinhui.

"Yeah."

Faced with such a result, Lin Jinyan had expected it long ago.

His people had also come to Baique Town several times, but all of them were fruitless.

With the addition of Lin Jinyan, Meng Haisheng's team has grown again.

Meng Haisheng is a very careful person. Before setting off, he asked Shang Xiaoqin to draw the specific locations of several villages around on the map.

It takes about three or four hours to walk to the nearest village, and it takes two days and two nights to walk to the slightly farther village.

"Does everyone here walk on two legs? There is no oxcart or horse carriage."

Shang Xiaoqin smiled helplessly when he heard Meng Haisheng ask this.

"The mountain road is not easy to walk on. At most, there is an oxcart or horse carriage."

"But it is only in the nearby villages. For example, the mountain road leading to Nanling Village here can only accommodate two people walking side by side, and there is no way to get rid of the oxcart."

"Usually, when selling medicinal materials, everyone carries them out in a backpack."

These villagers living in the mountains have measured every inch of the mountain road in the mountains with their feet for generations.

Even the spring breeze of reform and opening up cannot reach their corner.

"It seems that we need to prepare more equipment to collect medicinal herbs in the mountains. There should be no shortage of various beasts in such deep mountains and old forests."

"That's easy. Who doesn't have a homemade gun in their hands when collecting herbs in the mountains?"

"As for other things, we only need to bring a small amount. There are places like thatched huts and thatched houses on the roadside every once in a while for everyone to shelter from the wind and rain. It's quite convenient."

Meng Haisheng responded, but he didn't relax at all.

When they set off, except Shang Xiaoqin, everyone else was carrying a huge backpack or a backpack.

Shang Xiaoqin saw that Meng Haisheng and his group were so nervous, but he just smiled and didn't say much.

The destination of their first village was a village called Wa Village.

It was seventy or eighty miles away from Baique Town, but the road was easier to walk at the beginning, and the group could take a bullock cart, so it was easier to walk.

As Shang Xiaoqin said, not long after leaving Baique Town, simple thatched huts or wooden houses could be vaguely seen on the roadside.

Those who are tired of walking will choose to rest here.

Sitting on the ox cart in the hot summer, Meng Haisheng was drowsy from the sun.

The group walked and stopped, and arrived at Wa Village near noon.

There was no hotel in the village. Shang Xiaoqin found the village party secretary, and they stayed temporarily in the mud house of the village brigade headquarters tonight.

When the villagers heard that someone came to collect medicinal materials, they all came to the brigade headquarters to ask what medicinal materials they wanted and how much they cost.

Shang Xiaoqin and Wen Sha were responsible for all this, and Meng Haisheng had nothing to do.

"Brother, you also brought a tent."

Meng Haisheng saw Lin Jinyan take out a tent from his backpack and grinned at him. He thought he was the only one who brought it, but he didn't expect Lin Jinyan to bring it too.

"Those huts on the roadside are simply uninhabitable. In weather like this, sleeping in a hut for a night will probably leave you bitten by mosquitoes."

Lin Jinyan is very experienced in this regard. When he led troops to fight, he often slept outdoors.

"I thought so too. I also brought a thin sleeping bag."

Meng Haisheng took out his equipment to show Lin Jinyan.

Lin Jinyan complained in his heart at a glance that Meng Haisheng was really a rich man. All the equipment he bought were imported goods, and they were probably worth a lot of money.

And what he brought were all taken from the military.

There were no beds in the village brigade, so Meng Haisheng and a few others put the tables in the house together to make a temporary bed for one night.

In the bustling brigade, villagers came to ask about things from time to time, which was very lively.

Meng Haisheng specifically talked to those old and talkative uncles and aunts.

From the varieties of herbs he collected to how he had been doing in the past few years, he then turned the topic to Lin Jinhui.

"My second brother also collects herbs, but it's not a good tradition in our family. A few days ago, the whole family went to the countryside.Later, my second brother has been active in this mountain forest. "

"Now that our family is living a good life, I want my second brother to go back, but unfortunately there are so many mountains and forests and so many villages that I don't know where to find him."

"Boss Meng, what does your second brother look like? In the past few years, many educated youth did come here, but those who have some ability left later."

Uncle Qu smoked his pipe, his eyes full of melancholy. His second daughter-in-law knew about it. In order to return to the city, she left her two children and went alone.

It has been several years, and he has never come back to see the children even once.

"My second brother is about the same height as me, and he is very gentle and fair. You can tell at a glance that he is a cultured person."

"By the way, he is somewhat similar to my eldest brother."

Speaking, Meng Haisheng pointed at Lin Jinyan.

Uncle Qu glanced at Lin Jinyan and laughed.

"Such a handsome educated youth has never come to our village. "

"My second brother has lived in Shenlin Village for several years. I guess he is not as white as before."

Speaking of this, Meng Haisheng looked around and saw that no one noticed him. He quietly took out a photo of Lin Jinhui.

Lin Jinhui in the photo was only in his teens and looked very immature.

Uncle Qu shook his head and said he had never seen him.

Meng Haisheng secretly inquired about Lin Jinhui's whereabouts, but he was not too ostentatious. He did not get any useful information from Uncle Qu, so he did not say anything more.

Shang Xiaoqin and Wen Sha collected almost two carts of medicinal herbs here.

They asked the villagers to sort out the medicinal herbs these days and transport them to Baique Town, where there are people who specialize in receiving medicinal herbs.

Sun Slowly moving west, curls of smoke rose from the small mountain village.

The village party secretary specially invited Meng Haisheng and his party to his home for dinner, but Meng Haisheng politely declined.

The villagers sold medicinal herbs to earn hard-earned money, so how could they have the nerve to go and eat and drink for free?

Although Meng Haisheng refused, the villagers were simple and knew that Meng Haisheng and his party were embarrassed to eat their food.

So they sent the cooked dishes and hot steamed buns directly to the brigade headquarters.

There was hot food to eat, and although the bed was a bit useless, it was okay.

Overall, the first day of the deep mountain journey was acceptable.
