Chapter 56 The One-Eyed Old Man
"The higher-ups will not block Wangjiazhai this time. I will tell you this first so that you can rest assured. However, I have already told you that a research institute will be built. The address has also been selected. It will be in the empty space next to the reservoir on the mountain.
On the ground.
There is also the situation of wolves in the mountains. The country is going to send some soldiers here. It just so happens that the research institute also needs people to guard it. I will handle this matter for you and ask the people who guard the research institute to pay attention to the wolves in the mountains. They will also
Install surveillance equipment on the mountain and pay close attention to the situation inside.
By the way, the higher-ups ask you to provide them with some vegetables. This is a personal request and they will pay for them. Let me tell you, as I said last time, the higher-ups will send someone over to talk to you. All this will have to wait until the bridge is repaired.
.”
After listening to Mr. Ge's words, Wang Buping felt relieved. There was no problem at all about building a research institute, and nothing could be researched anyway. But it seemed that Aunt Sun said that their application for a bird protection base had also been approved, but
The bridge needs to be repaired before we send people to build it. There are also birds in the reservoir. I don’t know what the situation is yet. I have been so busy these days that I have forgotten about it, but there is no rush now.
"By the way, I asked you for a position without your consent. Don't be afraid. It's just a casual position. I will be the administrator of this mountain from now on. I think this position is also necessary for your future development.
.”
"Thank you Mr. Ge. This position is very good for me. If I encounter any problems in the future, it will be easily solved."
Wang Buping and Mr. Ge talked for a while and then rushed to his uncle's house. The matter of the wild boar was not settled yesterday, so he wanted to talk about it now.
When we arrived at the uncle's house, he had already gone to work. Seeing the injustice, the uncle said, "Is it because of the wild boar that you came today?"
"Yes, I just briefly talked about it yesterday. By the way, I don't know where the wild boars are now."
"At the east end of the stockade, in the abandoned house, there is a yard there. It is locked in the yard. The people in the stockade were watching yesterday."
"That's right! Grandpa, I wonder if there are any people in the village who have nothing to do and have raised wild boars before?"
"Well, let me think about it. Well, there really is such a person, but I don't know if he is willing to help raise pigs now. Come on, you and I will go find him now."
After saying that, the grandfather stood up and walked out of the courtyard. Wang Buping hurriedly followed.
After following the grandfather for a while, Wang Buping realized that something was wrong. This road seemed to go to the bamboo forest in the west. Who lived in the bamboo forest? Alas, it couldn't be the case. The more he thought about it, the more Wang Buping became certain. It had been four years.
Long time no see, I forgot about it this time when I came back.
When he walked to the familiar bamboo forest, Wang Buping knew it was true. He remembered that when he was a child, he often came to his home to deliver things and bring delicious food to Wang Buping. I remember that the last time I saw him, he was admitted to college and was about to leave.
At that time, everyone in the village came that day. The people who often came to my house did not come after this hour. They finally arrived when I got on the boat. I remembered to give myself a mink fur vest, which I still have.
In the suitcase.
When he saw the familiar courtyard, Wang Buping knew that it was really Grandpa One-Eyed Dragon, a familiar yet strange person in his memory.
Grandpa One-Eyed Dragon is about the same age as Wang Buping's grandfather. He is a foreigner and for some reason he brought his wife to live in Wangjiazhai.
At first, when the couple came, the patriarch at that time was Ren who died while fleeing. The people in the village regarded them as refugees and built a house on the side of the mountain. The two of them lived in Wangjiazhai.
Lived.
Who would have thought that during the escape, Grandpa One-Eyed Dragon's wife was beaten to death, leaving him alone, and he later joined the army with his grandfather.
I heard from my grandfather that he was not called Cyclops at the beginning. His eye was scratched by shrapnel on the battlefield, and it was his grandfather who saved him. However, the medical conditions were poor at that time and he became blind. After the war, his grandfather originally let him
He stayed in the army, but he didn't want to, so he followed his grandfather back.
Because his original residence was deserted, he no longer wanted to live there, so he settled in the bamboo forest on the mountain for decades.
Wang Buping remembers that when he was a child, he often came here to play because there would be delicious food every time.
Perhaps because his grandfather saved him, he has the best relationship with Wang Buping's family.
Because he didn't often come into contact with people in the village, few people would think of him. If Wang Buping hadn't wanted to raise wild boars this time, his grandfather wouldn't have thought of him. Wang Buping remembered that Grandpa Cyclops liked to raise things. At that time, he would raise wild boars every day.
He would send some pheasants, hares, etc. to his home. He raised these by himself. Sometimes he would also send good things to Wang Buping's family when he caught good things in the mountains. Now that he thought about it, he was really the most suitable candidate.
Thinking about not seeing him in these years, I was so busy that I forgot to see Grandpa One-Eyed Dragon this time. I don't know if he is still the same as before.
As I slowly walked into the small courtyard, I heard the grandfather say: "Is the one-eyed dragon at home?"
After a while, a voice came from inside the house. When Wang Buping heard it, it was still so powerful.
"You old man, you're not dead yet, why did you come to see me?"
As the sound got closer and closer, Wang Buping saw that it was Grandpa Cyclops walking out of the house. The blind eye was still covered with a piece of animal skin as before. He looked like a pirate leader, and his body
He is still as tall and straight, but the white hair on his head and the wrinkles on his resolute face let Wang Buping know that Grandpa One-Eyed Dragon is old and the erosion of time is something that no one can resist.
"Yes, you are not dead, how could I die? No, Buping is back, and now he is leading Wangjiazhai to become rich, and now he wants people to raise wild boars, so I am thinking of you."
Seeing Bu Ping standing next to Wang Fuguo, Grandpa One-Eyed Dragon's face was full of smiles.
He said to Wang Buping: "Boy, I haven't seen you for four years, right? You're so tall now."
"Yes, Grandpa One-Eyed Dragon, we haven't seen each other for four years, and you still want to be as strong as before!"
"It's no longer possible. Now that I'm old, I can't run around in the mountains like before."
Wang Buping walked up to Grandpa One-Eyed Dragon, held his arm, looked at Grandpa One-Eyed Dragon, and said, "Well, you're not old yet. Let's see if all the things in the yard were done by you."
"It's just busy work. By the way, Bu Ping, aren't you studying outside?"
"After graduating this year, I returned to my hometown. The society outside is very chaotic now, and it's not as good as my hometown."
"It's good to come back, the society outside is too complicated." As he said that, his face showed a look of reminiscence, but it turned back in an instant. This scene was still seen by Wang Buping. He knew that Grandpa One-Eyed Dragon was a man with stories.
However, he didn't want to say it, and Wang Buping wouldn't ask.
"Well, it doesn't matter that I'm in my hometown now. Now that the bridge on the cliff has been built, it will be easier to get out in the future. In this way, Wangjiazhai can develop."
"I said that some time ago, I was beating gongs every day. It turns out that it was your boy who did all these things for the village. It's not easy to come back from studying!"
"It's my luck that I found old ginseng on the mountain. Otherwise, I don't know when the bridge will be built?"
"You two, stop talking, there is still business to do." Wang Buping's grandfather said as he watched the two of them chatting.
"By the way, why did you come to see me? I haven't been to the village for almost half a year."
"This is not an injustice. Some academicians from the country were attracted here. They found something on the mountain. They mobilized the army and beat up the wild boars on the wild boar mountain. They caught some live animals and raised them in the stockade.
, and I couldn’t find the right person, so I thought of you.”
"Even the army has been mobilized. It seems that the people you attracted are not easy to deal with!"
"It's a researcher from the army. He found something in our mountains and wanted to take it back, but the place was occupied by wild boars. We had no choice but to use the army in the end."
"Wild Boar Mountain, that's right. The number of wild boars on it has increased a lot in recent years. Fortunately, there are wolves to kill them, otherwise it would have been a disaster."
"Grandpa One-Eyed Dragon, do you know the situation in Wild Boar Mountain?"
"I know, how can I not know? I went up there the year before last. There were so many wild boars there. People can't go there easily now. Langya Ridge doesn't go there anymore. I don't know why. The wolves that used to go to the mountains
The pack is back, and there are some wolves that seem to be from the mountains."
"Grandpa One-Eyed Dragon, have you even gone to Langya Ridge?"
"I just took a look at Langya Ridge from the hunter's mountain road. I don't know the specific situation, but there are a lot of wolves there. I saw quite a few on that road!"
"Well, there are so many wolves in Langya Ridge now. We saw so many wild boars and wolves this time that even the army didn't dare to move. By the way, Grandpa One-Eyed Dragon, are the hunters still allowed to walk on the mountain road?
"
"It's up to you to take it away, but no one has cleaned it up for so long, so it needs to be cleaned up again. You don't want to take the Hunter Mountain Road into the mountain, do you?"
"If I don't go now, I might go with the army later!"
"It's okay if you don't go. It's not safe there now. There might be tigers in the sea of trees."
"Tiger, did you see Grandpa One-eyed Dragon?"
"Is this true? I heard the tiger's cry. It seems to be in the sea of trees."
"I know this, let's not talk about it for now. This time I came to ask Grandpa Cyclops to go down the mountain to raise wild boars for us. You are alone in this mountain, and now I don't feel at ease."
"Well, let's go down the mountain? I don't even want to go down the mountain now."
"Grandpa One-Eyed Dragon, just go down. Look, my grandpa has already gone down. You just happen to be with him and you can still talk."
"Fu Guo went down the mountain and this old boy didn't even tell me. Well, I'll go down the mountain and raise wild boars for you. It seems like I'll be very busy from now on."
"Well, if you think you have anything to bring, I'll go down the mountain and call a few people to carry your things down." With that, Wang Buping started to walk out of the courtyard.
