Chapter 1799
It's also good for the brain
Seeing Qiao Yutong carry the child back to the bedroom, Wang An pondered for a long time before whispering to Wu Dong:
“Brother Wu, let me tell you, we’ve actually fought these people in the mountains.”
After saying this, Wang An subconsciously glanced towards the bedroom, and seeing that Qiao Yutong hadn't come out, he continued:
“These people are really vicious. They chased us all the way, and eventually we had no choice but to come back by a detour. Otherwise, we would have come back several days earlier.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Dong exclaimed in surprise:
"You fought them? And you ended up coming back from a different route?"
Wang An nodded, recalling the events, and said:
"Yeah, we originally ran into four guys from TS. But as soon as they got close, the dog I brought into the mountains spotted them and we shot them down from a distance."
Immediately afterwards, Wang An recounted what he had gotten from the TS man, then told the whole story of how the four of them heard the cannon fire, found the gold mine, what they saw there, how they killed those people, how they were chased, and how they fought back and killed their pursuers.
After hearing this, Wu Dong was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
After a long while, Wu Dong looked at Wang An with a face full of sighs and said:
"Holy crap, your trip into the mountains is almost as extravagant as Tang Sanzang's trip to collect funds."
To be fair, the experience of Wang An and his three companions entering the mountains this time was indeed somewhat legendary. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a life-or-death escape. If it weren't for Xiaobai and Xiaohei's advance warning and Wang An and his three companions' decisive actions, they might have ended up completely trapped in the mountains.
Wang An chuckled and said nonchalantly:
"There is indeed some danger, but it's not as dangerous as Tang Sanzang's journey to the West. What I mean is that those people are quite difficult to deal with, so there's no need for you to go in person."
After a pause, Wang An looked again at Wu Dong's somewhat plump figure and said:
"Besides, the road into the mountains gets harder and harder the further you go. You don't train every day and you're all fat. I think going into the mountains will really give you a hard time."
When Wang An and his companions entered and exited the mountain, they did not ride on horseback the entire time, because many places in the mountain were very steep, and if they had been on horseback, they might have tumbled down the mountain with their horses.
Therefore, people often lead the horses, which is a great test of the physical strength and endurance of those going into the mountains. Of course, even if you can ride on horseback the whole time, it is not an easy task.
Wu Dong shook his head firmly and said:
"No, I have to go this time. No matter what, I'm the person in charge of DJ County. It's impossible for me not to go. The key is that it wouldn't make sense either. Even if I don't do anything after I go into the mountains, I have to show my attitude. Otherwise, what will the higher-ups think of me?"
Seeing Wu Dong's resolute attitude, Wang An clicked his tongue and didn't try to persuade him any further.
In fact, no matter what position a person is in, they all have their difficulties. As the head of Wuzhuang Bubu in DJ County, Wu Dong seems to have great power and unlimited glory, but he also has to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities and obligations without hesitation. In fact, even if others want to help him, they can't help him at all.
Wang An nodded and said:
"Alright then, I'll guide you once you set off the day before yesterday."
Wu Dong chuckled and said:
“He said, ‘Brothers fight together, fathers and sons go to war together.’ If we brothers go together, we’re sure to wipe out those bandits in one fell swoop.”
Upon hearing this, Wang An suddenly asked curiously:
"Catch them all in one fell swoop? You don't even know where their hideout is, how are you going to catch them all in one fell swoop?" Wu Dong's smile instantly froze. He glared at Wang An and said:
"Kill as many as you can. As long as we are willing to take action, make progress, and live up to the Party's trust and the people's trust, then we are good Party members and good cadres."
Just as Wu Dong was speaking passionately, spittle flying everywhere, Wang An couldn't help but interrupt:
"Alright, alright, Brother Wu, your rhetoric won't work on me. Let's talk about something useful. If you have nothing else to say, I'll go check out the motorcycle shop first."
After saying that, Wang An stood up and walked towards the door.
To be honest, Wang An felt that Wu Dong's physical condition was a bit off, and his mental state was also a bit abnormal, showing a tendency to develop into a "fool".
Wu Dong didn't waste any more time and quickly called out to Wang An:
"Okay, you go to the store first. I still need to go to my workplace to arrange some staff. I'll come find you at the store after that."
Wang An went to the door to change his shoes, took out the ginseng buns from the sack and stuck them against the wall, then said as he folded the sack:
"Brother Wu, one of these two 'club' seedlings is a five-leaf variety, and the other is a 're-formed' 'club'. They're both top-quality, so don't underestimate them."
Wu Dong was taken aback upon hearing this, and said with great confusion:
"Five-grade ginseng? You even gave me wild ginseng?"
Wang An raised an eyebrow, speechless.
The main reason is that when Wu Dong mentioned wanting some ginseng with three or four leaves to nourish his wife, Wang An clearly pointed to the sack and told Wu Dong that there was ginseng in the sack, and even asked Wu Dong to give it to his wife Qiao Yutong first.
Well, it turns out Wu Dong didn't listen at all after all that fuss!
Wang An folded the sack into a small piece and held it in his left hand, then pointed to his temple with his right hand and said:
"Hey Wu, wild ginseng is good for the brain too. If you ask me, you should take some with my sister-in-law."
After saying that, Wang An opened the door and walked out of Wu Dong's house. He vaguely heard Wu Dong asking something loudly, but he couldn't make out what Wu Dong was asking.
After Wang An left, Wu Dong muttered to himself:
"Why did this brat tell me to take some supplements too? He even said that wild ginseng is good for the brain?"
After Wu Dong finished muttering to himself, Qiao Yutong came out of the bedroom carrying the child, gave Wu Dong a rather charmingly disdainful look, and said in an annoyed tone:
"When you told Xiao An you wanted the damaged ginseng, I overheard him saying there was a fifth-grade leaf ginseng and a reborn ginseng there, and that you could use it for me first. What were you listening to?
Wu Dongkaba babbled, his eyes wide with confusion, and asked in return:
Did he say that? I don't remember.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yutong's expression froze for a moment, then she said seriously:
"You'd better not touch me for the next few days. Take good care of your health and also improve your brain function. Xiao An is right, you really need to be careful. Otherwise, with your health, even if you take some magic pills, it won't help."
It was obvious that Qiao Yutong had overheard Wang An and Wu Dong's conversation, but aside from Wu Dong's health issues, she didn't seem to care much about the other problems, or even pay them any attention. (End of Chapter)
