At this time, the tenants also noticed that Xie Zhong was not in the right mood, so they all remained silent and shook their heads to express that they did not know.

Seeing this, Xie Zhong hurriedly came out of the shack and went straight to the cook's shack. At this time, Yang Shuqiu had finished eating in the cook's shack, and the old man was washing pots and putting things away there.

When Mr. Xie Zhong came in, he asked before Old Boss Yang could speak: "Uncle Yang, have you seen Zhang Yuanmin?"

"Zhang Yuanmin?" The old man was slightly startled, then realized what he was doing and asked, "Big crotch?"

"Ah!" Xie Zhong nodded and asked, "Have you seen him?"

"No!" Yang Shuqiu shook his head and said, "I am very busy burning the kang and cooking this afternoon..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jie Zhong turned around and left. At this time, Jie Zhong was a little anxious and hurried to the gate.

When he arrived at the door, Xie Zhong stood outside Xing San's shack and shouted: "Uncle, am I coming in?"

"Ah, come in!"

Xie Zhong is a tyrant in their village, and now he has brought a group of younger brothers with him, but even so, he does not dare to offend Xing San.

At this time, he heard Xing San talking in the room, so Xie Zhong opened the door and went in.

As soon as he opened the door, the aroma penetrated directly into Jie Zhong's nose.

In the shack, Xing San was sitting next to the stove with a small matza. In the middle of the stove, there was a small pot with shredded pickled cabbage, potato strips and beef slices simmering in it.

On the stove cover around the pot, buns were baked one after another. Under the dim light of the horseshoe lamp, you could see that the buns were oily, obviously they had been brushed with oil.

Xie Zhong twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Uncle, do you want to start a small stove by yourself?"

Seeing that Zhang Yuanmin was not in the room at this time, although Xie Zhong was worried, he gave up.

"Hahaha!"

With that said, Xing San pointed to the pot and said: "This is the potato chip soup made by Lao Yang. I'll put some sauerkraut in it. After I finished flipping through the bag of sauerkraut, I saw there were a few lumps of meat underneath."

The sauerkraut was chopped into shreds by Wang Meilan, washed with water, dried and formed into balls, then frozen outdoors into balls, and then brought to Xing San from the mountain. The lumps of meat were taken by Zhao Jun.

The meat is pushed with a plane, including beef and wild boar. Thin slices of meat are put into the pot, and the hot soup is cooked as soon as it boils.

"Come!" Xing San called to Xie Zhong at this time and said: "It's just in time for us to have a few sips, so you can eat at my place."

Hearing this, Xie Zhong did not refuse. He pulled a stool from the side, and then took down a broken teapot and a pair of bowls and chopsticks from the wooden stand.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Xie Zhong sat down, Xing San took out a tea jar from the small basin on the edge of the kang. The basin was filled with hot water, and the tea jar

It contains liquor.

Xing San folded half of the wine to Xie Zhong, then reached back and took a small bowl from the edge of the kang, handed it to Xie Zhong and said, "I haven't touched it yet. Please put some in your bowl."

Xie Zhong took a look and saw that the bowl was filled with chili oil. When he took the bowl, he couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle, you have eaten everything!"

"Hahaha..." Xing San smiled and raised his right hand, pinched his thumb and index finger together, raised the other three fingers, and said: "I have been going up the mountain for more than 30 years, and this is the first time the food is so good."

Xie Zhong also laughed, and then he asked Xing San, "Third uncle, are you looking at Zhang Yuanmin?"

"Huh?" Xie Zhong asked. Xing San frowned and said, "He didn't come back?"

Hearing what Xing San said, Xie Zhong knew that the old man must know something, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle, do you know what he did?"

"Hiss... oh..." Xing Sanka closed his eyes twice and recalled: "It was just dark in front of me. It's four o'clock in the afternoon? I saw him and the other two going out on a sledge."

"Going out on a sledge?" Xie Zhong heard this and immediately thought in his head: "Pull a condom? No way, it was already dark before then."

"No." Xing San interjected: "They seem to have gone to fetch water."

"Going to fetch water?" Jie Zhong was surprised when Xing San nodded and said, "Ah, I saw they were pulling six or seven buckets on their sledges."

Speaking of this, Xing San asked: "Didn't you go to fetch water?"

Can there be so many people in Lengchang without using water?

There is a long stream of water outside Lengchang. I usually go there with a large wine barrel of fifty kilograms and bring back a few barrels at a time to put them in the shack. That is normal.

But when it gets dark in the mountains, it's not even four o'clock yet. What time is it now? The water source is nearby. I went there by sledge, but I didn't come back in half an hour. But now, an hour and a half has passed.

, the three of them haven’t come back yet.

Xie Zhong told Xing Sanyi about the matter, and Xing Sanyi was shocked. In fact, for this old man, whose son is Zhang Yuanmin, Ma Xiaoguang, or not? The key is that Zhao Jun entrusted him to help take care of Zhang Yuanmin.

If something happened to Zhang Yuanmin, the old man would not feel comfortable telling Zhao Jun.

Therefore, Xing San directly stood up from the pony, reached out and grabbed the labor protection gloves on the side, padded the pot ears on both sides with one hand, and took off the small pot on the stove. Then he used the stove hook to hook up the stove lid, and put it on the stove.

”

"Let's go, uncle." Xie Zhong hurriedly stood up and followed suit. If there wasn't a certain place, there would be no need to look for it.

It's such a big mountain farm, let alone at night, even during the day, it's impossible to find it even if the entire farm is out.

But if you know the place, it will be easier. Xing San took out the flashlight given by Zhao Jun, put on the battery, put on his gun, clipped the knife, and walked out of Lengchang with Xie Zhong and headed straight for the water point.

The water source was really not far from Lengchang. Within ten minutes of walking, they saw a long stream of water. The two of them walked up the road to the place where they usually fetch water and then went up again. They walked two miles before returning.

While walking back, Xing San said to Xie Zhong: "Man, where could this person go?"

"I don't know, uncle." Xie Zhong said worriedly: "This man is going to be lost, but what should we do?"

"Damn it!" Xing San cursed and sighed: "Wait until he comes back, and send him back quickly!"

"Yeah!" Xie Zhong nodded heavily.

While the two were looking for Zhang Yuanmin, Jiang Jinyou and Ma Xiaoguang were busy working next to the tree barn where the Zhang family's two bears hibernated.

The tree was knocked down by someone, and then hit another tree. At this time, the tree where the black bear was squatting was at an angle of twenty degrees with the ground.

Jiang Jinyou walked up the tree trunk and carefully came to the tree hole. He sat on the tree while Ma Xiaoguang carried the wine barrel up.

One pushed it up and the other lifted it up. After Jiang Jinyou pulled the wine barrel up, he unscrewed the lid and slowly poured water into the tree hole.

At this time, Ma Xiaoguang, who was under the tree, held a flashlight to illuminate Jiang Jinyou. At the same time, beside Ma Xiaoguang, there were five large wine barrels, each of which was twenty-five liters. A total of six equaled three hundred kilograms of water.

One meter behind Ma Xiaoguang, Zhang Yuanmin also held a flashlight under his creak. At the same time, he stood with his hands behind his back, facing the cold wind in the forest.

In front of Zhang Yuanmin's feet, there is a net. This net is made of more than ten strands of No. 8 wire, each strand is eight strands of No. 8 wire. The net is not large and can cover the hole in the tree. And around the net,

Strands of No. 8 lines extended out, like a big spider web.

At this time, Zhang Yuanmin's face was flushed by the wind, but his heart was burning.
