After Shen Hao and his companions left Ganggangyingzi, they continued to head north.

Bai Shengli was still in the north.

In the Muying Forest Farm in Xing'an Mountains.

Not far from the Heilongjiang River.

The senior brother of Xia Laoyi, who had a life-long friendship with him, was the head of the forest farm there, managing the forest farm.

He was nicknamed "Land God".

His surname was Suo, and he was also an old man in his seventies or eighties.

He had a granddaughter, Suoni, who was always by his side to take care of his life.

People living in the Northeast, especially those living near the mountains, basically have good hunting skills.

Suoni was a good hunter. She had been hunting in the mountains with "Land God" since she was a child, and she was very agile.

Bai Shengli stayed in the forest farm temporarily, and followed the Suo grandfather and grandson to take care of the forest farm.

Muying Forest Farm was soon found by several people, and then they met Bai Shengli.

"Hey, it's you, Brother Shen, and Brother Hu, why are you here?"

Shen Hao smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to see you. The old man asked us to come and see you."

"Ah, how is my master? Is he okay?" Bai Shengli asked.

"Your master is still in good health, but he is old after all, and his eyesight is not good, so it's not very convenient." Shen Hao replied.

"Oh, by the way, come in and sit down, don't stand outside, it's cold outside." Bai Shengli sighed and quickly invited everyone to come in.

At this time, Suoni came back from outside and saw Shen Hao and others, so she came over and asked, "Hey, are you from Gaha?"

Bai Shengli hurried over and said, "Soni, they are from Beijing, and my master asked them to come and see me."

"Oh, it turns out to be your friends, please come in~"

Soni said to everyone with a smile on her face.

After entering the house and sitting down, Bai Shengli poured tea and water for everyone.

As the host, Mr. Suo also came out to see Shen Hao and his friends and entertained them.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Shen Hao told Bai Shengli the purpose of his visit.

He was to tell him that his case was fine, that the man was not dead, he was just a small thug who forged a certificate, and that his parents were officials.

Bai Shengli breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Shen Hao said to Bai Shengli again: "You'd better go back earlier, the old man's days are numbered!"

Bai Shengli also knew that Blind Old Yi was old, and he would probably only live for a few years. He had to show his filial piety while his master was still around.

When Shen Hao and his friends came, they happened to catch up with the big market on the riverside.

The markets here were all formed spontaneously.

Because since ancient times, this place has been sparsely populated and has been a bitter and cold place in the eyes of the courts of all dynasties. Many people were exiled here.

People live off the mountains and water, and in order to trade the gold, antlers, ginseng, fur and other things dug out from the mountains in exchange for daily necessities, this is how the big market here was formed.

Today, the big market here has become quite large, with people coming and going, and it is very lively.

Many people have built houses and opened shops here, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, forming a fixed market.

Especially after decades of economic development, the big market in Northeast China can be said to be the largest in Asia.

You can go to the big market every day.

From the beginning of spring to the heavy snow in winter, a total of three big markets will be organized.

Now is the first time in spring.

Suoni and Bai Shengli were also going to the market to sell the things they got in the mountains these days.

Shen Hao and his friends just caught up, and all joined the crowd of people going to the big market with great interest.

It seems that people in the Northeast have their own currency, and everything is extremely cheap. Compared with the south, the prices are simply discounted.

Moreover, there are many things that you can't see outside the Northeast.

Hu Bayi and Fatty were educated youth in the Northeast, so they are quite familiar with it, so they volunteered to be guides for Yang Xueli, Shen Hao and Wu Chan.

"The Northeast Market is really familiar with the fireworks of the people. I haven't seen it for a long time!" Hu Bayi walked in front of the few people, looking around while walking, and sighed.

The fat man was the same: "Yes, if I hadn't been so poor back then, I would have come here to have a look. Now that I have money, I have to experience it."

"Master Shen, let's walk. The two of us will take you for a good look~"

Shen Hao smiled and said, "Okay, it's up to you today."

However, Hu Bayi and the fat man had never really been to a big market. The places they went to in the mountains and the countryside were all very remote, and it was difficult to come out. There were no big markets there.

It mainly depended on the local snake Suoni.

Suoni was also in high spirits and led everyone along the wayStrolling along the way.

He also sold all the things in his hands.

Shen Hao and his friends were generous and bought a lot of things along the way.

Things that were rare in the south were not uncommon here.

In addition to selling various daily necessities, vegetables, and meat, there were also many stalls selling food.

There were many styles of big cakes, tofu pudding, and rolls.

There were also several decent restaurants in the market, with lantern-like signs hanging in front of the door.

There were many tricks here, just like the jargon, they were not said clearly.

Under the leadership of Soni, several people went into a restaurant and sat down.

He was very familiar with the owner of this restaurant, and the main dish was big fish stewed in an iron pot.

Moreover, this time, Soni brought six people with him, which was a big business, and the boss seemed very enthusiastic.

Several people ordered two fish, two pots of wine, and a few side dishes.

Northeastern dishes are very large in portion. Two fish are big enough. If you add a few side dishes, the table will be almost full.

Although there are many dishes, Shen Hao and his friends are all practitioners, so this amount of dishes is not a problem at all. They are simple.

They ate and chatted, talking about interesting things in the Northeast, and some ghost stories and legends.

They listened with relish.

Northeastern people have a big appetite, and Shen Hao and his friends' appetite shocked Suoni, a Northeastern girl who grew up in the Northeast.

She had never seen such a big eater.

Just when they were about to finish eating, two people suddenly came in from outside.

One was a Taoist priest in his forties or fifties, and the other was a young man in his early twenties.

They were a master and apprentice.

The Taoist priest tried to get close to the boss, and then asked him about Laogou.

The restaurant owner was very surprised. Laogou was a place where no one usually went. Many people died there.

Wherever you go, you either go to dig for gold or dig for corpses.

The restaurant owner looked at the two and said, "Why, what are you going to do in Laogou? Dig for dead bodies?"

Grave robbing is quite common in Northeast China.

Many people work part-time as tomb robbers.
