I was reborn and returned to the age of three and a half. Did my mother also have a heart transplant

"Ayan, this is no small matter. We need to send someone to report to the commune immediately."

Pei Mingzhi initially thought it was a dispute like a fight.

After all, most of the mountain people are fierce in temperament, and because of their different beliefs, they often come into conflict with villagers outside the mountains.

In remote areas, it is very common for hunters to have hunting rifles at home. Although it is rare for guns to be used, it does happen.

So when Alai first said that someone was chasing them and her brother Wengde was hit by a homemade rifle bullet, Pei Mingzhi did not think the matter was serious.

But now, my God, why are there such things as gold mines and illegal mining?

If this isn't handled properly, it could be a disaster that could wipe out the entire family.

God knows how many desperate criminals there are who steal and mine gold.

Among the 150 households in Peijia Village, most are ordinary villagers, and only five or six have hunting rifles.

If the other party really finds this place to silence us, Peijia Village will be in real danger.

This matter must be reported immediately.

"You can send someone, but I don't think this matter is urgent!"

Mo Yan looked calm and stable, as if hearing that someone was secretly mining was not a big deal.

Pei Mingzhi was stunned at first, then he remembered that Mo Yan was a great immortal in the mountains.

Someone is causing trouble in the mountains and stealing gold. Although I don't know how big the area of ​​the mountains under Mo Yan's jurisdiction is, I wonder whether Qinhou Mountain is also under her jurisdiction.

Even if not, Mo Yan must know the immortal who is in charge of Qinhou Mountain.

So, should we let the immortals handle this matter first and then report it to the authorities?

"Ayan, what do you mean?"

Pei Mingzhi unconsciously lowered his body a little and even used the word "you" when asking questions.

This detail once again made Alai look a little surprised and puzzled.

She also knew this village. Although it was separated from Qinhou Mountain by several hills, it was generally located around the outskirts of Shennong Mountain.

They're all pretty poor places anyway.

I guess they are just slightly better than the mountain people.

As long as they are poor, these places have one thing in common: they don't look down on women.

The reason why Alai has always dressed as a man is because women have a very low status in the tribe and can rarely control their own destiny.

There is only one grandmother left in Alai's family. If she doesn't go out hunting, they might starve to death. So she has to disguise herself as a man and go out hunting with them. But even though she puts in the same amount of effort as the men in the tribe, other mountain people don't look up to her.

So Peijia Village should be like this.

But the uncle in front of him, who was clearly the village chief of Peijia Village, was very respectful to Mo Yan, a woman who looked so weak.

Every word he said showed that he respected her. It was so strange!

This also made Alai involuntarily look at Mo Yan with curiosity.

"Alai, you said you found someone stealing gold. When did you find him? And how did you know it was a gold mine?"

Hearing Mo Yan's question.

As soon as Alai came to his senses, he said, "I didn't know that those people were secretly mining. But one day I accidentally discovered that a hunting trap I set had been tampered with and the prey inside had been stolen. I wanted to know who stole it, because the mountain people and the villagers who came into the mountains to hunt would not steal other people's prey. This is the rule."

After Alai finished speaking, he looked at Pei Mingzhi. Pei Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, "Ayan, that's true. This is also a default rule to be followed when hunting in the mountains."

"Weng De is not my biological brother. He is from outside the mountain. He said he fled here because he had no home outside the mountain. He is a painter and has been living in our village for the past few years. He can't hunt, but he can read and write. After he came to our village, the tribe leader asked him to teach our little kids how to read and draw. We mountain people take care of his three meals a day."

"This month, I was responsible for providing meat for Weng De. After my prey was stolen several times, I decided to find the thief. However, after searching for several days, I couldn't find him. I only found some gravel and red soil on the edge of the trap that did not belong to the mountains around the trap. After Weng De found out, he told me that the red soil was not red soil, but iron ore. He also said that the gravel was not ordinary gravel, but gold sand."

"He said he suspected someone was mining in the mountains, and that they were mining gold. He also said that gold mines would have associated minerals, namely iron ore. I didn't believe him at first. We have lived in the mountains for many years, and we know very well what is in the surrounding mountains. But Weng De was very confident in what he said, and he also said that if I didn't want him to, he would go check it out himself."

Having said that, Alai couldn't help but reveal a look of regret on his face.

"I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and impulsive to go explore the mountains with him. But I was really convinced by him. I thought that those people who could steal my prey time and time again could not be mountain dwellers or surrounding villagers, because they would know the rules of the mountains, and this person who stole the prey obviously didn't know this rule, so it was really possible that he was someone who sneaked into the mountains from outside."

"We waited in the valley where I set the trap for three days, and we actually saw two strangers. Then we followed them to a very hidden crevice. We didn't dare to go in at first, but later we couldn't resist our curiosity and went in. The crevice looked inconspicuous from the outside, but it was very large inside, leading all the way to the back of the mountain. Then we saw a lot of people. They were not from our mountain, nor did they look like villagers from outside the mountain. They were holding something like a winnowing basket and washing in the stream."

"After Wendela led me out the same way, he told me that the gold that was being washed was actually gold ore, and those people were actually mining, and they were mining gold ore. I didn't want to bring disaster to the village, so I told Wendela to pretend that we didn't know about it. Wendela agreed to me at the time, but I didn't expect that he would secretly monitor those miners later."

"Then this time, three days ago, he suddenly came to me in the dark, holding his stomach, saying that he was discovered by people who stole gold from the mines and was shot with a clay gun. He asked me to take him away and not let him die in the village. Otherwise, if he was discovered by those people, everyone in the village would be in danger."

"That's when I started to flee with him. We fled for three days. I knew those people hadn't given up and were definitely still chasing us. I didn't dare to take Weng De out of the mountain. Once we left the forest without any shelter and were exposed to gunfire, we would be dead immediately."
