But in this life, he will become a medicinal material consignor and sell all these medicinal materials in the mountains to the outside world!

As Gao Mingcheng walked, he was refining his future plans in his mind. In addition to Ganoderma lucidum, he also saw Poria cocos, but he still did not pick them because it was not the time for the Poria cocos to be mature yet.

Walking through this pine forest, there are more varieties of trees, and there are also many wild flowers in bloom, and the air is filled with elegant fragrance.

Gao Mingcheng's eyes lit up when he saw the flowers.

Bees collect nectar from flowers and make honey. Therefore, bees exist only where there are flowers. As long as you follow the traces of bees, you can find the hive.

Gao Mingcheng has already focused on a bee. The bee is sucking nectar from a pink flower. Maybe the nectar of one flower is not enough, so it flies to the next flower and sucks the nectar of several flowers in a row. It seemed that he had finally accumulated enough, so he flew to the hive.

The bee is very small, and its flight path is high and low, but it cannot escape Gao Mingcheng's gaze.

The farthest flight distance of bees is about 14km, but when collecting honey, it is usually within a radius of 2-3km. There are nectar sources everywhere in the mountains, so wherever bees appear, there must be a hive within 2-3km.

It's just that most of these hives are hidden in hidden places. The bees either build the hives in the soil with gaps or build the hives on the branches.

The bee that Gao Mingcheng was eyeing built its hive on a camellia tree.

The flowering period of the camellia oleifera tree is around November, and the fruiting period is October of the following year. At this time, the tree is covered with green camellia oleifera fruits, but they are not yet mature.

After it matures, it can be picked and exposed to the sun, the camellia seeds inside can be taken out, and then sent to an oil pressing mill to squeeze out the camellia oil.

There are not many wild Camellia oleifera trees here, but in the mountains near Kengli Village, there is a large Camellia oleifera forest that was planted on the farm. Later, the farm was demolished, and the tea forest was collectively owned by the brigade.

Gao Mingcheng stood under the tree, looking up at the height and size of the hive, simulating in his mind how to successfully get the honey from the hive.

He didn't bring any special tools, he only brought a bag with him, so if he wanted to remove the hive, he would have to pay a certain price.

However, he is now running much faster than before. As long as he moves quickly and runs away before the bees retaliate, it won't be a big deal.

If bees catch up with you, it will be a big deal!

The tail stinger of a bee is poisonous. When stung, it will cause severe swelling and a sharp stinging sensation.

If you are unlucky, you might get poisoned and die.

Gao Mingcheng hesitated for a moment under the tree, and finally decided to go for it!

Just do it!

The Camellia oleifera tree was a little old, but not too big. He quickly climbed to the fork of the branches. After finding a place to stay, he tried to reach out and touch the beehive.

After measuring the distance first, and finding that there was no problem, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he reached out to the hive decisively with both hands, and then broke it with force.

Originally, if he had a knife, he should have used it to cut the hive, but who knew it was a last-minute idea? Without a knife, he had to rely on brute force to break the hive.

Fortunately, he was so strong that he actually broke it!

Gao Mingcheng was overjoyed, and immediately threw the honeycomb into his bag, then quickly jumped down and ran away into the distance.

There were many bees in the hive, and they didn't react at first. After discovering that the hive had been stolen, a large number of worker bees began to attack Gao Mingcheng crazily.

Gao Mingcheng didn't dare to look back at all, as the wind was blowing under his feet, as if he was walking on the wind.

As he ran, he seemed to sense a bee catching up to him and pricking him with its tail sting.

He felt a slight pain, but it was not severe, so he ignored it and just ran down the mountain.

I don’t know how long it took, but the bees finally stopped chasing him. Gao Mingcheng slowed down and gasped loudly. There was a lot of sweat flowing out of his face and body, and his sweat-stained clothes were tight. It sticks to my back and feels stuffy.

"Huh." Gao Mingcheng exhaled, with a big smile on his face.

Although my heart is beating wildly and my blood is boiling, I feel full of accomplishment!

He carried the bag and walked towards the village at the foot of the mountain.

When he came down the mountain, the sun was setting and it was almost dusk.

Gorgeous fire clouds covered half of the sky. Although it was already dusk, the light was still brilliant. The days are long in summer, and it’s already around 7 or 8pm when it gets completely dark.

There were figures walking around on the country road one after another.

Some people carry a bundle of firewood, some carry a vegetable basket, some carry a bucket, and some carry a hoe, all returning home from the mountains and fields.

On some roofs, there is already a faint curl of green smoke rising. This is because people who have eaten early are already cooking.

Further on the road, a group of men were walking towards the village together. It was the end of work at the railway construction site, and the temporary workers were going home together.

For some, a day has passed by now.

But for Gao Mingcheng, there are still some things to do today.

First, he had to go to Gao Fuqiang and talk to Gao Fuqiang to ask him not to target Zhang Chengyuan. Next, he had to go to Gao Shouwang's house for dinner.

When Gao Mingcheng came down the mountain, he glanced at Niuweiling from a distance. He didn't see Gao Zhuang's figure, so he guessed that he might have gone home.

He was not in a hurry to return to the village immediately, but carefully opened the bag and let the bees inside fly out.

He broke off most of the hive, and there were some bees in this half of the hive.

There were not many bees, and they were already a little dizzy after being led all the way down the mountain by Gao Mingcheng. After flying out of the bag, they did not retaliate against Gao Mingcheng, but flew away.

After the bees left, Gao Mingcheng discovered that a lot of honey had flowed out and stuck to the bag.

He felt a pity in his heart, but he could only waste it.

He adjusted his direction to stop the honey from flowing out of the hive, and then strode towards Grandma Xini's house.

This hive is quite big, so he plans to divide it into three, give one to Grandma Xin, one to Duo Mei, and the remaining one to Gao Shouwang.

Gao Shouwang not only spent money to buy his prey, but also invited him to drink and eat meat, so he couldn't go empty-handed.

As soon as I walked to the door of Grandma Xin's house, I heard Gao Zhuang's excited voice coming from inside.

"Grandma, I really caught this rabbit! Haha, Brother Mingcheng taught me how to make the trap. I wandered around in the mountains for a long time before I finally caught a rabbit!"

"Grandma, please don't kill this rabbit yet. I want to keep it for a few more days! When Brother Mingcheng comes back, I will show it to him!"

Gao Zhuang was holding a gray-black rabbit, his face flushed with excitement.

Grandma Xiao smiled softly, her face full of pride.

"Okay, if you don't kill it, I'll find a cage for you to keep it in. This rabbit can dig holes and can't be contained without a cage."

"Grandma, go quickly!"

Gao Zhuang quickly urged Grandma Xi to find a cage.
