Director Zhang was very happy to hear this. Although he was just a deputy, he knew much more than ordinary people. The golden leopard that killed dozens of people at Erdaohe Farm was killed by Liu Xia Lian. Everyone has their own expertise, and when they entered the forest, it was just like an ordinary person returning home.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

"Okay, let's go into the mountains."

Zhao Hua and Dayong picked up their hunting rifles, re-entered the forest, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

There was a captain next to Director Zhang, who was in his early thirties. Seeing Zhao Hua and Zhao Yong talking so casually, he was a little unhappy: "Director Zhang, who are these two guys?"

"The younger one is Zhao Hua, a man named Liu Xialian. The older one is Zhao Yong. They are cousins. His third uncle is the commander of the army on the southern front. Three people from their family died in the battle a few days ago. The province, city, and county have all sent people to express their condolences. These two just came back from the front and killed a lot of enemies. They both won second-class merit. I hope we can get closer to them when we have the chance in the future."

The captain was silent at that time. He originally meant to say that Zhao Hua was not respectful enough. After all, he was used to seeing people nodding and bowing, and it was a bit strange to see someone speaking with a straight back. But Director Zhang's meaning was very clear, so I had to be respectful to him. Moreover, the second-class merit in the army was a great achievement. There were first-class merits, but most people who made first-class merits could not leave unscathed.

Director Zhang looked at the captain meaningfully and said nothing more.

At this moment, Zhao Hua and Zhao Yong were walking very fast. After forty minutes, they arrived at the place where they had dug ginseng along the winding mountain road, but there was no one there. There were traces of digging at the scene, and there were bloodstains where the bear was released, but there was no one among the five people.

Zhao Hua scratched his head: "Fourth brother, did I remember it wrong? How come there is no one here?"

"Yes, it's here. They must have left for something. Look for the traces. They can't have gone far."

Zhao Yong lowered his head and found traces of cut down bushes to the east. These were caused by a machete while walking.

The two of them continued searching forward, and after walking a few kilometers, they heard Liu Fuhong's laughing voice.

"You deserve it. How arrogant you were just now, how embarrassed you are now. Hahaha."

When Zhao Hua came over, he saw a wild boar lying in a pool of blood. It was not big, about 150 to 160 kilograms. It was a boar, probably about a year old, with fangs about ten centimeters long.

"What's going on? Why are you here to hunt wild boars?"

Liu Xialian said: "Just now I was leaning against a big tree and squinting for a while, and I didn't expect that the wild boar took the opportunity to attack Brother Hong, and hit him in the waist with its mouth. The three hounds couldn't catch it, so it ran over here. We chased it, and I broke the pig's leg with one shot, and Brother Hong was killed with one shot."

Zhao Hua looked at the wild boar on the ground and wanted to go and see if he could carry the tree trunk, but Liu Fuhong said, "No, I can carry it by myself."

Liu Xia Lian asked: "What's the situation with Dayong? Have you checked it?"

Dayong patted his chest and said, "It's okay. I'm in good health. But I must be gentle when I beat my wife and children in the future. I might have been infected by the brown bear. A slap from it can use hundreds or even thousands of pounds of force."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, look at this tree." Zhao Yong found a fir tree. The tree was not big, about the thickness of a teacup. He grabbed the trunk with his palm and tore off a part of it.

Liu Xia Lian was stunned. Although the fir tree was soft, it was not that soft after all.

"Great! If I had known, I would have let the brown bear get covered in blood and poured it all over you."

"That won't work. Doctor Xu said that it must be the blood from the heart. I think your sword must have pierced the brown bear's heart. I have to thank you. I don't have to hide when my wife scratches me in the future."

They were chatting happily when Liu Xia Lian looked forward and saw a ball of red light right in front of where the wild boar was shot. She walked over and saw a huge ginseng tree on the soft slope.

"Look, what did we find, Daya? Is it in the red string bag?" Liu Xia Lian was quite surprised. She came to find Lao Mo Hou today.

Daya quickly opened the big bag, which contained red string and a lot of money.

Liu Xialian and Daya worked together to hang the red string. Damei was not here today, so I had to do it myself.

Zhao Hua said, "Xia Lian, let me clean up the perimeter. This slope is not convenient. Dayong and I will come together."

Daya was still worried: "You two must be careful not to dig up the ginseng."

Liu Xia Lian found that Daya was getting smarter and smarter. Except for not daring to communicate with strangers, she had no problem communicating with acquaintances. It was just that her speech was stiff and irritating.

Zhao Hua and Zhao Yong went to clean up the perimeter, Liu Xialian and Daya kept watch, and Li Daniu dragged the wild boar to the creek to clean it up. Erya and Liu Fuhong went to pick pine mushrooms nearby, as they couldn't come to the mountains in vain.

Liu Fuhong became happier the more she picked. "Why are there so many good things in the mountains of Northeast China? I can't pick them all. Well, Xia Lian, if I also settle down in Lijiatun like Fu Gang, how much land can the village get?"

"Why, Brother Hong also wants to settle down in Lijiatun?"

"No, I'm just asking. The money I've made following you here for a few months is more than the sum of the money I made in my first half of my life. But you also know that it's hard to leave my hometown. I have elderly people at home and my children are still in school."

Liu Xia Lian could understand Brother Hong’s dilemma. This dilemma was like a ball of ropes twisted together and it was very difficult to untangle.

"In fact, apart from land and forest resources, my hometown is better than here. The winter in Northeast China is too long and cold. As forest farms in various places are closed one after another, many industries will decline. It's not the case in my hometown. Human resources are abundant and technology is developing faster. In a few years, all kinds of factories in my hometown will begin to sprout like bamboo shoots after rain."

Liu Fuhong didn't feel anything, but the only thing he could feel was that there were many people in his hometown. There was no village within ten or twenty miles here, but there were five or six villages within ten miles of his hometown.

"Next year, I'll save some more money and then decide whether to go back home or stay."

This ginseng was dug relatively quickly, in just over two hours. However, Liu Xialian and Daya were not as meticulous as Damei, so it was inevitable that some of the roots would be lost.

Liu Xia Lian carefully put the ginseng into the wooden box: "With this ginseng as a base, this trip is not in vain. It's getting late, let's go back."

The task of returning was quite heavy. Three strong men, Daya, Erya and Li Daniu carried the huge brown bear. Liu Xia Lian also wanted to go over to help share some of the weight, but unfortunately she was too short and could not get on.

Liu Fuhong carried the processed wild boar, and the others carried their respective tools.

It was almost five o'clock when we returned to the mountain pass. The sun began to tilt toward the west, and the sky was filled with sunset glow.

Director Zhang was getting a little anxious waiting, and he walked around: "Why haven't you come yet?"

Someone said, "Here they come, here they come, I see the hounds."
