Chapter 87 Going into the mountains together "Boss, we can go into the mountains now!" said Wang Mazi. His tone was full of urgency. It can be seen that he really wants to make money. "Don't worry." Cheng Ming smiled, "Don't you have to make proper arrangements for your two children and the elderly at home?" Wang Mazi said, "Boss, don't worry. Danier is already eight years old. She can make fire, cook, bathe and wash clothes. It won't be a problem for her to take care of her brother and grandfather. Besides, my father can still walk, but he prefers to lie down most of the time." Cheng Ming turned his head and looked outside the door. At this time, the girl was lying by the door, looking at Cheng Ming and others curiously. He didn't expect that the girl, who looked quite young, was actually eight years old. Cheng Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "But it's getting dark now, let's do it tomorrow. Don't worry, it doesn't matter if it's a day late." Hearing this, Wang Mazi had no choice but to give up.

Cheng Ming and others spent the night in the car. Early the next morning, Wang Mazi finished packing and came to the village entrance to knock on his car window. Then they prepared themselves and set out on foot into the mountains together. When passing an intersection on the road. I actually met the woman wearing shorts and leopard print stockings—Wang Mazi’s wife. However, Wang Mazi's wife was not alone, but was walking with a man in his forties. Wang Mazi's wife was holding the man's hand and behaving intimately. When Wang Mazi saw this "adulterous couple", his eyes turned red and he blocked their way. "Liu Juan! Zhang Dapao, you actually cheated on me!? You two, an adulterous couple!" Liu Juan and Zhang Dapao obviously did not expect to meet Wang Mazi here so early in the morning. Zhang Dapao didn't say anything. It was Liu Juan who spoke first. "Bullshit, Wang Mazi, our relationship ended yesterday, so don't be such a fool! What does it have to do with you who I'm with?" Wang Mazi didn't care: "If you didn't have an affair, why would you get together with this old bachelor right after breaking up?!" "It's none of your business!" Liu Juan was not afraid at all and confronted Wang Mazi head-on. Wang Mazi was not satisfied: "What's so good about this cannon? It's good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling! Liu Juan, are you crazy?" After being told this by Wang Mazi, the old man was not angry at all, he even seemed a little proud. Liu Juan said, "How is Da Pao not better than you? He has found a job in the city now, earning 4,500 yuan a month! Isn't that much better than being that useless person like you?" "I'll follow him and wait for us to go to the city to work and enjoy a good life together." "Following you, I don't even have a decent new piece of clothing, let alone skin care products and cosmetics!" She glanced at Wang Mazi, Cheng Ming and others.

I saw them carrying backpacks and shovels, hoes and other tools. I know that Wang Mazi is going into the mountains again. He sneered, "Oh, you're still going into the mountains? Can you fill your stomach?" "A loser like you will be single for the rest of your life!" After saying that, she took Zhang Dapao's arm and left. Zhang Dapao even looked back at Wang Mazi with a mocking look. Wang Mazi gnashed his teeth in hatred. "Forget it, let's go." Cheng Ming said. Wang Mazi could only follow Cheng Ming and others away with hatred. "I'm sorry to embarrass you, boss." Wang Mazi said in a muffled voice, "That woman has been playing Douyin too much. She doesn't take care of the children or cook meals all day long. She just fantasizes about being a delicate pig girl. Sigh..." Wang Mazi looked quite helpless. Originally, Cheng Ming saw that his family conditions were quite poor and he somewhat understood Liu Juan. After all, who doesn't want to live a better life? Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position. This is all normal. But if you do nothing at home, it is indeed a bit abstract to fantasize about having a good life all day. And I just left yesterday and found a new job today. Cheng Ming said it was okay. "But." He reminded Wang Mazi a few words, "Since you're separated, why don't you get a divorce certificate first?" "They didn't even get a marriage certificate! I urged her to get a marriage certificate and move her household registration here before, but she always made excuses. Now it seems that she has been leaving a way out for herself since then." Wang Mazi said. "Ok." After talking for a while, they came to the foot of the mountain behind the village. There is only a small path leading up the mountain. If you are not a local, you will never find this path. Several people were all carrying bags. The bags contained food, water, tents and other tools. One bodyguard's bag also contained a compound bow and stun baton. There was another man holding a long fork. All kinds of equipment are available. When they arrived here, Wang Mazi became the leader and the others followed behind him. "Boss, actually you don't have to come. There are still a lot of wild animals in this mountain. You are of noble status, there is no need for you to take risks in such a place. Let us rough people do the work of ginseng picking." Wang Mazi suggested. Cheng Ming shook his head: "One more person means more strength." In fact, he originally wanted to call all the people in Dahu Village. But unexpectedly, the ginseng pickers have stopped doing this and all have gone to the city to work. There are only a few elderly people left in the village.

But think about it, there are fewer and fewer ginseng in the mountains, and this kind of work is very unstable. Sometimes there is no income for ten days or half a month. It is really hard to bear. As they were talking, they came to a valley, and the path split into two small strips, one going east and the other going west. This is a small platform where a few people stopped to rest and discuss how to go. "Boss, the ginseng pickers from our Dahu Village often go to the mountainous area within a radius of ten kilometers to the east. However, this area used to be frequented by ginseng pickers from nearby areas. I'm afraid it's hard to find good ginseng now." "About 20 kilometers west of here is an uninhabited area. Almost no one has ever been there, but there are more wild animals in the mountains, and they are more dangerous." "Which way are you going?" Wang Mazi asked. Cheng Ming almost didn't think twice: "West." “We’re going to areas no one has gone before.” It is impossible that ginseng is missed in places that are frequently visited. Not to mention the hundred-year-old ginseng. If you want to pick century-old ginseng, perhaps it is only possible in uninhabited areas where no one has ever been. Wang Mazi was a little hesitant: "There are really a lot of wild animals over there. Recently, I heard that someone went to the edge of the no-man's land and heard the roar of a Siberian tiger." Cheng Ming saw that Wang Mazi seemed reluctant to go. "Don't be afraid." Cheng Ming signaled the bodyguards to show their weapons. The compound bow and stun baton were taken out of the backpack. And a long fork. Wang Mazi was very surprised when he saw these things. As someone who has been involved in outdoor activities for many years, he naturally knows the power of these things. Not to mention the stun gun and fork, just the two compound bows, made in modern industry, are extremely powerful, even more powerful than a pistol! He also saw a video online of someone trying out a compound bow, easily piercing a huge wild boar! "Well, with these things, we won't be afraid even if we run into a blind bear." (End of this chapter)
