Siheyuan: Liu Guangtian's happy life

After putting away the mallet, Mr. Xie carved a line of words on a big tree, which meant that on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, someone brought out a few wild ginsengs from this place.

Everyone walked out of the forest with smiles on their faces. On the way, they killed several roe deer and wild boars. It was Liu Guangtian and his three companions who did the killing. The Xie family had no intention of taking any more action.

They make a living by hunting and can go into the mountains at any time. But Liu Guangtian and his friends are different. It’s a rare opportunity for them to come here, so let them have a good time.

After returning to the Hunter House, the old man started talking about distributing things. Liu Guangtian and the others didn't want to refuse, but how could they bring these toys back to the city?

It was Mr. Xie who said, "How about this? Give us the freshly hunted game, and then you can take the smoked and pickled meat from our house."

As for these old ginsengs, you can take them all away. Didn’t Guangtian say that your master suffered from serious loss of energy and blood? This one sixth-grade leaf is enough for the old man to recuperate.

Liu Guangtian and the other two quickly refused. How could this work? Wouldn't this make others suffer?

Liu Guangtian: "Uncle, we can't do this for no reason. This old mountain ginseng is so valuable. We can't just take it for free. We have to pay!"

Liu Dalong and Huang Guoqiang also agreed.

Old Master Xie smiled and said, "Listen to me first. It is Guangtian's credit that we were able to invite the sixth-rank Ye Shi to come out this time."

Our Xie family has lived in this area for several generations without ever finding the ginseng field, and we have never even entered that old forest.

"We actually stumbled into this place by accident today. This is definitely a treasure land bestowed upon our Xie family by the Mountain God!"

"I'm sure you all know how many wild ginsengs there are in that ginseng field. As long as you don't tell anyone, my Xie family will be able to use all the money from now on. It's really a great bargain."

"Just listen to me, uncle. Take everything!"

Liu Guangtian: “But…”

Mr. Xie glared and said, "But what but? I have plenty of ginseng at home. What's the point of having one or two of yours? Who are you looking down on?"

The Xie brothers: "That's right! In broad daylight, we don't need any. This is just a drop in the bucket! Take it, take it!"

Mr. Xie continued, "Do you still need tiger bones and tiger penises? The kids at home use tiger bones as toys, so they can't use them all up? Here, here, here."

"Take away all the deer penis and other things. We have plenty of these in our Xie family. Take them away!"

Mr. Xie seemed to be very disgusted with these things, with a look of impatience!

Damn it, Liu Guangtian and the other two were all so confused that they wanted to cry but couldn’t even cry. It felt like happiness came too damn suddenly.

Damn it, they knew that your Xie family was wealthy, but they didn't expect them to be so wealthy. Only then did they remember that what Xie Yongqiang boasted about in the car was really true, and people really ate it as a snack!

What the hell are these people!

Under the coercion and inducement of Mr. Xie, they had no choice but to accept it reluctantly, and they cried out in their hearts, what a fucking sin!

Old Master Xie noticed their embarrassment and said with a smile, "Don't look at me like that. You three are destined to be with our Xie family, and I recognize your character. We can just get along well with each other in the future. Why bother about such trivial matters?"

"My uncle's family has been hunting in Changbai Mountain for generations, so they have never lacked meat. You said that tiger bone ginseng is valuable, and it is indeed worth some money, but it is enough for our family."

"If there's more, it'll be a disaster. Just help me consume some of it. If you want to eat more of it when you get back to the city, send me a telegram."

"Uncle will definitely send it to you, haha!"

Oh my god, Liu Guangtian and the other two were so moved that they almost asked him to be their godfather. It’s really unique that the old man can go to such lengths.

Liu Guangtian and the other two could not say a single bad thing about him. They kept praising the old man, saying how kind and righteous he was and how generous he was!

In contrast, the brothers of the Xie family did not refute anything their father said. The old man's words were the final word in the family, and what he said was the final say. He must have been beaten a lot since he was a child.

Liu Guangtian and the other two felt lucky to have known Xie Yongqiang. What a good man he is. Good people will be rewarded!

In the evening we had another sumptuous dinner and drank some wine. We are going to go down the mountain tomorrow as we can’t hunt anymore as we have gained a lot this time.

If we continue fighting, we will be greedy. We all know that too much is as bad as too little. The meat we take back this time will be enough for the Xie family to eat for a year!

It’s okay to make it at will. Besides, they have a lot of meat stored at home. Who knows when they will run out of meat!

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, after breakfast, we pulled the prey down the mountain. It was quite tiring along the way, after all, there were so many things to carry.

However, since the road conditions down the mountain were better, we hurried and returned to Xie’s Mukeleng before dusk.

As they had agreed to return to Shenyang the next morning, the old man took out several bags, each containing tiger penis and deer penis.

Liu Guangtian took two air-dried tiger penises and two air-dried deer penises, as well as one hundred kilograms of bacon. There were all kinds of meat, a dazzling array.

The old man also gave Liu Guangtian the recipe for medicinal wine, saying that he could add Panax ginseng to it, which would have a more powerful effect.

Then he quietly pulled him aside and gave him two plants with sixth-grade leaves, three plants with fifth-grade leaves, and five plants with fourth-grade leaves, saying that this was a gift to honor his master and that Liu Guang could not refuse.

This time, Liu Guangtian said he didn't dare to ask for it anymore. The value was too great and he didn't dare to take it at all.

Later, the old man took him into a small room. When Liu Guangtian saw his collection, he felt relieved. This was just a gift from heaven, so he accepted it.

This time he owed a huge favor to someone, and he still couldn't repay it.

The things given to Liu Guangtian this time were valued at 10 million, which is already a small amount by the 21st Century.

Liu Guangtian pulled the old man aside and said, "Uncle, to be honest, I can't express my gratitude in words. No matter how many words of thanks I say, they are not enough to express my gratitude to you."

"But I still want to say one thing, take the things in this room away immediately, don't leave them here anymore, it's too damn eye-catching, hide them!"

"Find a good place to hide it. From now on, you better keep your mouth shut. I'm afraid someone might covet your things. If someone finds out, it will be a disaster!"

The old man patted Liu Guangtian's shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Uncle, I didn't make a mistake about you. You are great. I will listen to you. I will hide the things after you leave. In the future, just tell the kids at home not to say anything when they go out!"

Mr. Xie sighed and said, "After you leave, I don't know when you will come back next time. I don't know if I will have the chance to see you again!"

Liu Guangtian said anxiously: "Uncle, please don't say this is unlucky. I will definitely come to your place again if I have the chance. I like this place so much. If I didn't have old people and children at home, I would probably settle here."

"I'm sure you'll live a long life, uncle. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but there are so many wild ginsengs in this house. You can use them as you like. You can also exchange them for money."

"But I've seen your family, you're not short of money. Besides, at this time, even if you have money, you still need tickets. No matter how much money you have, you can't spend it. You and my aunt should make up for what we need. Otherwise, what are we using this ginseng for? Isn't it just for eating?"

"Since we can't sell them, we might as well make them ourselves to save waste, don't you think?"

The old man nodded when he heard this and said, "You're right, what's wrong with making something myself? I've been hunting all my life, can't I just enjoy myself?"

Liu Guangtian continued, "Also, you are old now, so you should avoid going into the mountains. Let your brothers do it."

"They can all handle things on their own. If things really don't work out, the three of us can be safe together. You can just stay at home and take care of them, and just enjoy your grandchildren. Don't make any more trouble!"

Mr. Xie was also thinking in his heart, his wife and son usually advised him not to go into the mountains, as he is old, wouldn’t it be better for him to take good care of himself in his old age?

Now he was moved when Liu Guangtian said that. He was indeed old and not as energetic as when he was young. It would be nice to spend his retirement at home.

It would be nice to raise chickens and ducks, play with grandchildren and enjoy family happiness, so he said, "Okay, uncle will listen to you, hahahaha!"

Liu Guangtian also smiled: "That's right, let's take good care of our health. When our grandson and great-grandson get married, you will be so beautiful!"

Mr. Xie: "Hahahaha, thanks to your good words, I will just stay at home and be an old man!"
