Chapter 86 When do we set off?
It is impossible for a person to enter the mountains alone. Even if Cheng Ming has master-level fighting skills, it is impossible to fight with a tiger and a bear.
And it’s easy to get lost in the mountains and forests.
So two conditions are needed - bodyguards and guides.
Cheng Ming got off the plane in Heicheng and went directly to the largest local security company.
He was greeted by a manager with a tattoo on his arm.
"Brother, what do you need?"
"Of course I need people to come here." Cheng Mingdao, "I need two short-term bodyguards, preferably those with experience in the mountains and forests. . "
The expression of the manager with the fat belly and tattooed arms changed: "Brother, we don't do anything illegal!"
"It's not hunting," Cheng Ming explained. A flash of inspiration.
He is going into the mountains.
And it is a mountainous area with bears and tigers. It will be much safer if you can bring a guy with you.
"Can you get the qualification to hunt with a gun? Money is not an issue."
"Brother, what are you going to do?" The flower-armed manager looked horrified, "You shouldn't be Let’s hunt tigers and leopards.”
“No.”
Cheng Ming was at a loss for words, so he quickly explained it to Huajui's manager, and Huajui suddenly understood.
“But brother, you can’t hunt with guns anywhere, but we can bring compound bows, electric batons, long weapons, etc. Even if we encounter a blind bear, a Siberian tiger, it won’t be a problem, not to mention that wild animals generally don’t care when there are many people. Don’t dare to attack.”< br>
“Okay, you can find four people for me.”
“Brother Xing, how long will it take?”
“Not sure, I’ll be lucky, ten days and a half. , no longer than six months.”
When Cheng Ming came out of the security company, he was accompanied by four burly men in suits, all of whom were veterans and were very skilled.
With the security issue solved, the next step is the guide.
Cheng Ming also checked the information in advance.
There are some ginseng pickers in Heicheng. These people usually live outside the mountains and make a living by looking for wild ginseng.
He came to a large local Chinese medicine pharmacy.
Express your intention to the Chinese medicine boss.
A very hospitable Northeast man.
He said: "I do know a village that makes a living by picking ginseng, but the people in that village haven't sent wild ginseng for a long time, and I don't know if they still do it."
"Thank you, boss."
Get the address of the ginseng picking village.
Cheng Ming rented an off-road vehicle with four bodyguards and drove to the mountainous area in the countryside close to Xiaoxinganling.
After walking dozens of kilometers on mountain roads, we finally arrived at the ginseng picker village that the pharmacy owner mentioned.
The arrival of a luxurious off-road vehicle in the dilapidated village was a novelty. Several big men changed into sportswear, but their strong bodies were also very eye-catching.
The old men chatting at the head of the village looked at Cheng Ming and others with surprise.
However, when Cheng Ming looked at this small village, for some reason, he felt that the village was a bit lifeless.
The bodyguard walked towards the old people sitting under the big tree and started chatting with one of them.
"Uncle, are you a ginseng-picking village?"
"What village?"
"Ginseng-picking village!"
"No, This is called Dahu Village!”
"No, I'm asking if your village is a village of ginseng pickers. Do all your people pick ginseng?" The bodyguard was helpless.
There are too many words, and the deaf man is completely dizzy.
Another old man next to him smiled: "Yes, but oh, now only Wang Mazi is picking ginseng in our village, and the other young people have stopped doing it."
Cheng Ming asked "Uncle, why don't you quit?"
"I can't collect ginseng anymore," said the uncle. "I can't support a family."
Cheng Ming was silent.
I didn’t expect this to be the case. No wonder the drugstore owner said that no one has given ginseng to this village for a long time. They don’t do it anymore?
This trip seems to be in the wrong place.
But everyone is here.
Cheng Ming asked again: "Uncle, which house is Wang Mazi's house you just mentioned?"
"Turn left ahead to the third house." "Thank you, uncle."
Cheng Ming casually handed a bag of fruit to a few old people, and the old men happily shared it. .
He and his bodyguards came to the door of the family the uncles were talking about.
Although this is a mountain village, it is actually connected by roads. Almost every house in the village is a brick house, but this one is the only one with a mud house.
Rotten firewood surrounded a small courtyard, where two children were chasing each other and playing.
Seeing Cheng Ming and others approaching, the two children were not afraid and looked at Cheng Ming and others through the short courtyard wall.
At this time, the sound of a man and a woman quarreling came from the house.
"Wang Mazi, let me ask you this most, are you going to work in the city?"
"No."
"Damn you! Can you support me by picking some pussy to compete with those pussy?"
"Wouldn't it be better if you save some money at home and don't go to the city less?"< br>
“Then what’s the point of this life? Look, how many people in the village go to the city to fight After working, I drive a car and live in a mansion! What about you? Why do you want to compare yourself to others? I don’t need you for food or clothing. "
“Get the hell out of here! I’ll give you the child, I’m leaving!”
The words just fell.
A woman wearing a leopard print skirt and black stockings walked out of the door with a bag in hand. Without even looking at the children in the courtyard, she opened the courtyard door and walked out without looking back.
Passing by Sheng Ming and others, the woman looked at several bodyguards who looked at her, and she yelled: "Look at your mother!"
The bodyguards turned their faces.
The man inside didn’t chase him out, he seemed to have accepted his fate.
Cheng Ming came to the courtyard gate and shouted: "Is there anyone there?"
Not long after, a dark-skinned man walked out of the gate. When he saw Cheng Ming and the others, his eyes showed a trace of vigilance.
“Who are you looking for?”
“We are looking for ginseng pickers. I heard that you are the only one picking ginseng around here?”
Hearing this, the man’s expression changed. After a little struggle, he finally said: "There are no ginseng pickers here, you can go."
Cheng Mingdao: "Brother, are you Wang Mazi? Help me, I'll give you the money."
"I told you there are no ginseng pickers anymore, you go quickly!"
The man was impatient. He waved his hands to drive away a few people.
Cheng Ming had no choice but to take out a stack of 10,000 yuan in cash.
“Ten thousand yuan, how about hiring you for a month?”
Wang Mazi's eyes widened when he saw the money, and then he ran to open the courtyard door with a smile.
"Boss! Come on, come in and chat."
Cheng Ming and others entered.
After entering, I found that the house was really small, and the furniture was very shabby. There was a broken bed in the corner of the living room, and an old man was lying on the bed.
"That's my father. He has inconvenient legs and feet due to his old age." Wang Mazi said.
Cheng Ming nodded.
No wonder the woman just wanted to leave. With such poor conditions and an old man to support, not many women are willing to stay.
“Boss, did you just say you wanted to hire me?” the man asked with a smile.
"Yes, ten thousand yuan a month, are you willing?" Cheng Ming asked.
“Of course!” Wang Mazi was very excited.
That’s 10,000 yuan a month! Those people in the village who go to work in the city don't have such high wages, right?
Even in the short term, it’s worth it.
"But first, tell me what you need me to do. I won't do it if it's harmful to the world!"
Cheng Ming laughed dumbly. This man is so poor, but he still has principles.
“Don’t worry, it’s not illegal.”
"I'm going to the mountains to find ginseng. How about you being my guide for ten thousand yuan a month?"
"No problem!" Wang Mazi was very excited, even a little eager, "When will we set off?" ?”
