Chapter 253: Exploring Yaling Village Again (2)
As several adult men from Yaling Village approached, Yuan Dabing saw a man dressed like a hunter and immediately shouted loudly.
"Shen Long, come and pick me up!"
When the hunter heard the shout, he looked carefully and was stunned for a moment.
"Isn't this my father-in-law..." he muttered to himself.
"Your father-in-law? Old Yuan from Zhumao Village? Who are the three strangers around him?" asked a villager from Yaling Village nearby.
"I don't know either!" The hunter called Shen Long shook his head.
"Could these three be the outsiders my sister-in-law saw yesterday?" asked another man.
"It's possible!" Shen Long nodded and continued.
"Let's go over there and see what's going on."
Several villagers from Yaling Village stepped forward.
"Dad, why are you here?" Shen Long said with a bright smile.
"I came to see you, Shitou and his mother. Are you doing well recently?" Yuan Dabing asked.
"I'm fine. A few days ago, he said he missed you and wanted to go to Zhumao Village to visit." Shen Long said with a smile.
"Who are these people?" Shen Long changed the subject and asked Gu Chang and the other two.
"These three are from Shangouzi Village in the east. They are all big bosses. They are currently collecting bamboo shoots in our Zhumao Village! The purchase price is very high!"
Yuan Dabing introduced excitedly.
After hearing what Yuan Dabing said, Shen Long and the others looked at each other and became alert again.
Bamboo shoots are everywhere in the mountains, but they are buying them? And the price is so high?
Although Shangouzi Village is not far from Zhumao Village, it is still more than 20 miles away!
They also produce bamboo shoots, so why would they go to Zhumao Village to purchase bamboo shoots?
Shen Long and several other villagers from Yaling Village began to suspect that Gu Chang and his two companions were most likely scammers!
My father-in-law, Yuan Dabing, is old and has been cheated so much that he is at a loss!
I guess I was tricked into coming to Yaling Village this time!
It’s probably for the stone ears in the village!
Gu Chang looked at their expressions and sighed inwardly.
The villagers of Yaling Village are still very vigilant.
"Let's go sit inside first." Shen Long took the initiative to say.
Led by Shen Long, the group began to walk towards the house by the stream.
……
As soon as we reached the stream, a middle-aged woman ran over excitedly.
Gu Chang took a look and saw that it was the middle-aged woman with a child whom he met yesterday.
She shouted to Yuan Dabing in surprise: "Dad!"
"Hey! My girl!" Yuan Dabing agreed with a smile.
"Where's Little Stone?"
"He went to the back mountain. Why are you here?" the middle-aged woman asked in surprise.
"I came to see you, and by the way, I brought these three bosses with me. I have something to discuss with you." Yuan Dabing replied.
At this time, the middle-aged woman also saw Gu Chang and the other two, who were the same three people she met yesterday. Her expression changed again in an instant.
"Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you to leave? We don't have what you want here!"
"Girl, what's going on?" Yuan Dabing looked at his daughter in shock. He didn't know why she suddenly spoke so harshly!
The middle-aged woman looked up at Shen Long, then looked at her father, without saying anything.
"Dad, let me tell you." Shen Long said.
"I know the purpose of your visit to our Yaling Village." Shen Long said, looking at Gu Chang and others.
"You are here to look for stone ears!" Shen Long said.
"Yes, I want to develop stone ears." Gu Chang nodded and replied.
In Gu Chang's opinion, developing stone ear can increase income for villagers and expand his own products, which is a win-win cooperation and a good thing!
"A few years ago, there were no stone ears here!" Shen Long looked at Gu Chang and said.
"Ah? No more? Weren't there a lot of them before? Why are there none now?" Yuan Dabing asked curiously.
"A few years ago, a group of people came to buy stone ears. In order to make money, the villagers went to dig stone ears every day, and soon the stone ears were dug to extinction!" Shen Long said.
"Ah? So that's how it is! No wonder I haven't seen you sending stone ears in recent years." Yuan Dabing said.
He really didn't know much about Yaling Village and the situation of Shi'er.
In the past, my daughter would send me some during the Chinese New Year, but in recent years, I haven’t seen her send me stone ear mushrooms.
Gu Chang and Qi Tianming looked at each other and talked to each other.
The looks in their eyes told each other that Shen Long must be lying!
There must be something more important that is hidden from them!
"So, I'm sorry, you made this trip in vain!" Shen Long said.
"I have a lot of prey furs here. Would you like to take them?"
Gu Chang smiled and shook his head, saying: "We are not doing this business yet."
"I'm so sorry! I can't help you." Shen Long smiled brightly.
Gu Chang looked at his smiling face, but felt a coldness that kept him at a distance!
Gu Chang sighed and looked at the stone ear, feeling that he had no fate with it!
He turned around and looked at Gu Guoqing and Qi Tianming, and said: "We have no chance with this stone ear, let's go!"
Gu Guoqing and Qi Tianming also understood that the people of Yaling Village did not want to do this business at all.
Even if the cow doesn't drink water, it can't be forced to have its head pressed.
forget it!
"Are you leaving now?"
Yuan Dabing felt that this was too fast!
Isn't it too easy to get these three hundred dollars?
"Then I'll leave first, my daughter. I'll come to see you and Shitou another day!" Yuan Dabing said to his daughter.
As soon as everyone walked out of the door, they saw a little girl with two cute pigtails running towards them in a hurry.
Running and shouting.
"Oh no, oh no, Uncle Long!"
