Chapter 628 Dian Yan Keeps His Promise

When Liu Xialian heard this story, it sounded familiar. Wasn't Li Daniu the same? He had a tragic fate and became mature at a young age.

After hearing this, Liu Xia Lian said, "Come with me to the Northeast. We need a helper when hunting in the mountains. It's a life-threatening job, but you can make real money, three to five thousand per trip."

Dian Yan didn't say anything. The restaurant owner heard it nearby. He was very tempted by the high income and said immediately, "Can you guys see if I can do it? I don't want 3,000 or 5,000 yuan, just 1,000 yuan a day is enough."

Daniu glanced at the boss and said, "You are so small that you can only be slapped by a blind bear. It's hard for you to even go into the mountains. Just run your restaurant. Hunting in the mountains is not something that ordinary people can do."

The boss left me speechless and I went back feeling disappointed.

Iodine scratched his head: "Okay, but I'm afraid this big guy will bully me."

Liu Xialian pointed at Li Daniu and said, "His name is Li Daniu. He has been hunting in the mountains for more than ten years. You are a newcomer when you come here. You don't understand anything. He gives you some pointers and asks you to do this or that. This is not bullying, this is guidance. If he dares to ask you to wash his socks or treat him to a meal, this is bullying you. We don't allow bullying here. No one can do whatever they want. Of course, you can't bully others either."

Erya was afraid that he would be worried, so she whispered, "Li Daniu is afraid of Daya. If he bullies you, I will let Daya beat him up."

"Okay, then it's settled. When are we leaving?"

"Is your home far from here?"

"It's not far away, in the suburbs, about ten miles away, and you can get there in a short walk."

"Okay, I'll give you 200 yuan. Go home and make some arrangements. We'll be leaving at 10 o'clock tomorrow at the latest. Come on time. If you're late, we won't wait for you."

Dian Yan was very excited, his hands were shaking when he took the money. Although this place is located in the Central Plains, the income is really poor. He usually does odd jobs because he eats a lot, and most people don't like to hire him. He is very happy to have an income of 30 or 40 yuan a month.

Erya glared at him and said, "You are so rude. You should say thank you, sister."

Dian Yan quickly said, "Thank you, thank you sister. Sister, aren't you afraid that I will take the money and run away?"

Arya lowered her voice mysteriously: "I have hunting dogs and Saker Falcons. I can find people even if they are buried in the ground or thrown into the water for several years. So I am never afraid of people running away."

"Er Ya, stop talking nonsense. It's getting late in Dian Yan, you should go back quickly. A man's word is as good as gold. If you don't come, I won't look for you. The money will be a reward for you."

Dian Yan nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely come. I can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal."

After saying that, he picked up his load and went home. Erya looked at his departing back, thoughtfully.

Liu Xia Lian looked at the watch. It was already seven o'clock in the afternoon. "Don't go out. It's getting late. Go to bed early. We have to travel tomorrow. Let's stay in my hometown for a day, and then go back to Shimenzhuang and return to the Northeast."

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions." Li Damei yawned and went back to her room to sleep.

Liu Xia Lian and Li Damei shared a room, Daya and Erya shared a room, and Zhao Yong and Li Daniu shared a room. The room conditions were pretty good and no conversation took place that night. The next day at around nine o'clock, everyone had dinner and waited for Dian Yan. They waited until nine forty, but Dian Yan still hadn't arrived.

Erya was a little anxious: "Sister, what time is it?"

"Nine forty?"

"Why hasn't he come yet?"

"Don't worry, Erya. I see that Dian Yan doesn't have a watch at home. He probably doesn't know the time. Besides, there are still 20 minutes left. Let's wait a little longer."

After waiting for a while, it was almost ten o'clock. Erya clapped her hands happily at the door: "Here he comes, here he comes, Dian Yan is here."

He had a long, thin canvas package on his back and a canvas bag in his hands.

"Sister, Arya, I'm here."

Erya went over to help carry the bag and complained, "What are you doing? Why are you so slow?"

"My family had something passed down from our ancestors that we buried in the yard. I forgot where it was, so I dug up the entire yard before I found it."

Zhao Yong was very curious and asked, "Shi Tou, what are you carrying? Take it out and let me see it."

Dian Yan was puzzled: "How do you know my nickname is Shitou?"

"Isn't rock just stone? What's in the bag?"

Liu Xialian had already seen that the magic weapons in the bag, a pair of double halberds, and her own sword and purple lightning sword were not ordinary items. However, those dug out from the ground, even if they were handed down from ancestors, belonged to the country. Don't take them out for no reason, otherwise they will be confiscated. She immediately said, "Let's check later. Let's go."

Zhao Yong drove a pickup truck, Daniu and Dian Yan were also in the pickup truck, and Liu Xia Lian and others drove a jeep. The road conditions in this plain area were very good, and they arrived at Liu Xia Lian's hometown after five hours.

The uncle was quite surprised. Seeing Liu Xialian coming, he couldn't believe it: "Xialian, why are you here?"

"I came to see my uncle, aunt, uncles and aunts, and bought some peanuts and salted duck eggs. I also came to see the location of the cannery."

The uncle's face was full of joy: "Okay, come on, please come home."

The uncle’s eyes are blurry and he actually thought Zhao Yong was Zhao Hua. What’s with that look in his eyes?

"Uncle, how is the donkey I sent to you some time ago? Is there anything wrong with it?"

"No, one was sick and was cured by a veterinarian. The others are fine. Most of them are pregnant and will have foals after the New Year."

My uncle's five donkeys are raised in the backyard. As soon as you enter the backyard, you can smell the smell of donkey dung. The place here is small and the donkey house is too small, so the smell is inevitable. But the donkeys are growing well and are shiny and smooth.

Not far away, at Uncle Five's house, Aunt Five was grinding dried sweet potatoes on a stone mill and ran back in a hurry.

"Dad, Xia Lian is back. You should go over and take a look. You need to explain the money and accounts of Danshen that you collected some time ago."

"Don't worry, I remember everything clearly." Uncle Wu came over hurriedly with the account book.

Liu Xialian had just come back from watching the donkey. When the eldest uncle saw the fifth uncle coming, he said, "Old Fifth, why are you in such a hurry? Check the accounts when everything is fine. Xialian and the others just arrived and haven't eaten yet."

"It's okay, it's all straightforward accounts, I'll check with Xia Lian."

Liu Xia Lian nodded and said, "Okay, let's find an empty house. They are smoking to death."

The salvia miltiorrhiza was harvested last month. In the first year, more than 300 mu of salvia miltiorrhiza was planted, and Uncle Wu was in charge of it. The average yield of salvia miltiorrhiza per mu was about 600 catties, and the total price was 3.2 yuan per catty, and it was sold to Anguo at 6.5 yuan per catty. After deducting damage, labor, and freight, the net profit was 2.8 yuan per catty. Of course, Liu Xialian was not stupid enough to make the profit public, even her own uncle could not do that.

"From receiving the goods to selling them, in just one month, I lost 1,000 kilograms. The main reason was that I lacked experience. Some farmers cheated and put too much dust on them. I lost more than 300 yuan."
