Chapter 121 Thief
Wen Qing did not take any action and continued to observe the two people in the space. They were two men around 30 years old, one wearing work cloth and the other wearing grass green clothes. There was a faint light flashing in their hands, probably holding a knife. The man in the grass green clothes had a bulge on his waist, which was either a gun or a dagger.
What kind of luck is this? Every time I go out, I run into bad guys. But when I think about the crackdown a few years later, I can imagine how severe the public security situation was at that time.
Wen Qing was not a weak girl. After the two men walked away, she came out of the space and quietly followed them at a distance of more than a hundred meters, walking towards the village in the distance.
After walking for about 20 minutes, I could hear the two people in front of me whispering all the way. Maybe they felt that they were in the wilderness with no one around and needed to talk to give themselves courage, or maybe they were just too brave and didn't care if anyone heard them.
When they reached the entrance of the village, the two separated, one heading east and the other heading west. Wen Qing could only choose one person to follow.
She followed the man in grass-green clothes and headed towards the west of the village.
The man did not take action immediately. He walked around the village, and when he saw the dog, he raised his hand and sprinkled a handful of medicine powder on it, and the dog stopped barking.
Wen Qing's heart sank. This was a habitual offender. She wondered if this powder was harmful?
She followed from a distance and saw the two men meet in the village, whisper to each other for a moment, and then walk together towards a more imposing blue brick courtyard.
Wen Qing was afraid of the two men's powder and always kept more than thirty meters away from them.
The two of them never thought that they would be followed. They sneaked to the outside of the courtyard gate. Wen Qing climbed over the wall from the right side of the house and knocked on the door gently. They heard some movement inside, and perhaps someone had already gotten up.
She did this because she didn't want to expose herself, so that she could help secretly when needed.
She quickly climbed over the courtyard wall. At this time, the people in the house had already quietly left the room. She heard someone prying the door open. One person took down the door bar, and another person picked up a carrying pole at the door and hit the people outside the courtyard.
The door suddenly opened, and the two men who were trying to pry it open panicked and stabbed the intruders with their daggers.
The stone in Wen Qing's hand flew out and hit the man's knife mountain, making a crisp sound. The people in the yard shouted, "There is a thief, catch the thief!" The shrill voice spread throughout the village.
Seeing this, the two men wanted to end the fight quickly, and they slashed at the person who rushed out of the yard with two knives at the same time. When they were about to stab the person, Wen Qing threw out four stones, hitting the two men on the legs and hands. The two men cried out, and the knives in their hands could not be held steadily, and fell to the ground.
Two more people came out of the house, and the four of them surrounded the two thieves and hit them with four sticks.
Seeing that more and more people were coming, the two men did not dare to stay and ran out of the village. Other people in the village quickly chased them, beat them with sticks, broke their legs and tied them up.
A villager was heard saying, "This man has a gun." Then a pistol was pulled out from the waist of the man in grass-green clothes.
Everyone became more vigilant and tied the ropes tighter.
Seeing this, Wen Qing quietly entered the space. Several strong villagers took the thieves to the village office. An old man told everyone to go back to sleep. The villagers who were awakened went home one after another, and the village gradually quieted down.
The people in the village didn't know that someone was helping them. Only the two people who opened the door first were a little suspicious. When two knives were slashing at them, they thought they would be injured, but the two thieves suddenly fell to the ground. Did they have an illness?
They observed secretly and found that there was indeed no outsider, so they could only put their suspicions to rest and guessed that the thief had kicked a stone on the ground and fell.
Only after the surroundings became quiet again did Wen Qing leave the space and walk out of the village in the darkness.
Wen Qing walked for more than half an hour and was already some distance away from the village. After getting on the road, he took out the jeep and drove northwest.
They drove until almost dawn. Wen Qing looked at the map and realized they should have arrived at Yaowang Valley. She got out of the car, put it into the space, and walked into the valley alone along the path.
The stream in the valley was gurgling, and the water was cool. Wen Qing went to the water to wash her face and then entered the space to rest.
She slept for four hours before waking up. She left the space, climbed up a big tree and began to practice. The valley was full of vitality and was a good place to practice.
The altitude here is about 2000 meters, and it is a mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest area. The sunlight is mottled in the dense woods, and some pine trees are covered with green moss. Wen Qing practiced for 3 or 4 hours and felt his internal energy was full, only to be awakened by the chirping of birds.
This valley is sparsely populated, and the paths on the ground are barely visible, which shows that few people come here normally.
Seeing the pine and oak trees growing in the woods, Wen Qing had an idea and climbed down the trees to look for truffles.
Now is the season when truffles mature. She had dug truffles in Daqing Mountain before, and she had planted them in the space, but for some reason, they never grew.
Truffles are a rare delicacy. She used to be able to eat them when she went to the countryside. But after leaving Yunnan for three years, she hasn't eaten truffles again. When she thinks of the truffle steamed eggs and truffle stewed chicken she had eaten before, she starts drooling.
Wen Qing released his mental power while searching carefully on the ground. Truffles like dry and breathable soil, and usually grow under the roots of pine and oak trees. It is difficult to find its traces without paying attention.
She began to search the soil under the pine tree with great interest. After searching three pine trees, she found no trace of truffles. When she was about to give up, she suddenly smelled a strange smell, which was the smell of truffles.
Wen Qing followed the smell and walked to a pine tree that was not growing well. She squatted down and used a dagger to carefully dig up the pine needles on the ground. After digging up a layer of soil, she found a nest of truffles. After a while, five truffles fell into her hands.
After digging for more than two hours, Wen Qing not only dug up more than ten truffles, but also found medicinal herbs such as purple Ganoderma lucidum, Fritillaria thunbergii, and Adenophora radix. It is worthy of being called the Medicine King Valley, as there are so many medicinal herbs.
Wen Qing put the things into the space. Truffles could not be grown, so they could only be stored in the warehouse. She caught a fat hen and made truffle chicken stew, which tasted delicious.
After lunch, Wen Qing took out a compass, checked the direction, and walked towards the nearby village.
After crossing two ridges, they arrived at a village, and Wen Qing asked the villagers where the timber was traded.
The villagers were very simple and honest. They pointed her in the direction of a place called Muhua Town, which was thirty miles away from here.
After Wen Qing expressed her gratitude, she took out a handful of candies and handed them to the villager who had shown her the way. She walked some distance away from the village before taking out her pickup truck and driving towards the town, avoiding people.
When they got outside the town, Wen Qing made herself up to look like a burly man with gray hair and a dark face, looking like a businessman traveling around.
She parked her car outside the timber market, walked into a dam where a lot of timber was piled, took out a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette, handed it to the person who was looking at the timber, and started talking about business.
This town is where nearby villages trade timber, and there are several lumberyards. Along the way, she selected 5 to 60 trees from each lumberyard and prepared to take them back to repair the yard.
The woods she selected were all common ones, such as pine, oak, camphor, etc., but basically they were all from the largest and best woodyards, and she bought in large quantities. Soon, the whole town heard that she was a big customer, and everyone asked about her background.
Wen Qing asked the workers to transport all the wood to the side of the road and pile it up, saying that a truck would come to take it away. She then drove a pickup truck and stood guard on the side.
She spent a total of 150,000 yuan to buy this batch of wood and didn't want to lose it.
Those who wanted to cause trouble saw that she had a car and money, and thought that she had a strong background and was not easy to mess with. Although Wen Qing was alone, it was not easy to rob her by force, so many people gave up their bad thoughts.
At night, Wen Qing ate dry food and did not leave the woodpile. Seeing that she acted cautiously and there was no loophole for them to exploit, everyone left one after another.
Late at night, Wen Qing used his mental power to explore the surroundings. Seeing that it was late at night and no one was paying attention, he collected the mountain of wood and drove away in his pickup truck.
There were no people or cars on the mountain road at night, but the road was rugged, so Wen Qing drove very carefully. Fortunately, her driving skills were very good, so although she went slowly, she still got down the mountain safely.
