After Xiao Fuyuan discovered Gastrodia elata just now, Eugene Gui also hoped to dig up Gastrodia elata. She walked around in the grass several times but didn't come across it.
She doesn't like those ordinary medicinal materials.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to go there and have a look?"
Eugene Gui pointed to the deep forest, eager to encourage Xiao Fuyuan to go with him.
With my sister-in-law's luck, I don't have to worry about finding something more precious than Gastrodia elata.
Before Xiao Fuyuan could react, Xie Chuntao made the decision for her: "You are not allowed to go inside."
Even if Eugene Gui forced his sister-in-law to leave, she would still be stopped.
Well, listening to my sister-in-law, Xiao Fu ran to Xie Chuntao, pointed at the leaf in front of him and said: "Pull this out."
Xie Chuntao trembled. What precious medicinal materials will be dug out this time?
When a shovel goes down, the soil loosens and Xie Chuntao is easily uprooted.
When he lifted it up and took a look, he felt very happy and shouted happily: "My sister-in-law is really good at finding another Panax notoginseng."
Eugene Gui dropped the shovel in his hand and ran over to squint and saw that it was indeed Sanqi.
Panax notoginseng is called "gold cannot be exchanged" by Li Shizhen. It is a pearl among medicinal materials, more precious than Gastrodia elata.
This Panax notoginseng root has more knots than the Gastrodia elata that I just dug out. The big knots are strung together and crowded together.
It weighs several kilograms, and I don't know how much money it can be sold for.
"Sister-in-law...how did you find out?" Eugene Gui was tongue-tied.
With an innocent smile on Xiao Fuyuan's face, she pointed at the grass and said, "That's how I discovered it."
Eugene Gui: “…”
"Hey, sister-in-law, you said my sister-in-law is evil, but she is able to discover these precious medicinal materials." Yu Jingui lowered his voice.
Xie Chuntao glanced at Eugene Gui and said calmly: "What evil? It's best not to be heard by my mother and grandma. I just happened to find it, so what can I do?"
"I just said that, sister-in-law, why do you take it seriously?"
Just pretend, Eugene Gui looked disdainful.
People from nearby villages came down one after another from the mountain, all with smiles on their faces, and the baskets on their backs were all full.
After taking a closer look, there were actually a few ginseng roots. Although they were not as big as the ones Xiao Fuyuan and Er Zhuang found on the road, they were still very attractive.
If you dig out a dozen of them, that's a lot of money.
Eugene Gui was greedy for a while.
"Sister-in-law, look at the other villagers digging in first. We're here to dig what others have dug. What good things can we dig out? If we go inside, there's no guarantee that we can dig out the wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum we did yesterday."
He deceived his sister-in-law into the mountains without getting any treasures into his hands. Eugene Gui was unwilling to accept it.
Xie Chuntao persuaded: "Brothers and sisters, we are taking advantage of the fact that they are all running deep into the mountains and forests. The herbs and wild vegetables here are all ours. What should I do if I encounter a tiger in the deeper places? My mother and I told me when I went up the mountain. No, we are not allowed to enter the deep mountains and forests."
This sister-in-law actually brought up her grandmother and mother-in-law to suppress her at every turn.
She couldn't bear it.
"The tiger has been scared away by the tiger fighting team. Everyone can go but we can't go. Sister-in-law, you really take the words of Nai and Niang as an edict. If you don't go, I will go." Eugene Gui stood up suddenly with a strange look. .
"Okay, you go. But my sister-in-law must stay." Xie Chuntao refused to give in.
…
It is said that the tiger hunting team has been in the mountains for two days, except for hearing a few tiger roars that night.
After they entered the mountain, the tiger flashed under the moonlight, roared into the deep mountains and forests, and disappeared.
The tiger hunting team followed the place where the tiger appeared and went deep into the mountains and forests to search for several days, but could not find it.
Everyone was talking that the tiger was scared away by the tiger-fighting team's battle.
If the tiger doesn't show up, the people in the tiger hunting team are all countrymen, and naturally they don't want to be idle. Seeing the treasure house in the deep mountains and old forests, they all put aside their thoughts of hunting tigers, and those who dug for medicinal materials dug for medicinal materials, and those who caught hares caught hares.
What are you afraid of? Anyway, there are so many people, let’s wait for the tiger to come and fight.
Besides, if you stay one more day, you will have one more day of food.
Everyone began to expect that the tiger had better not come and keep wasting away.
There are people like You Mazi who sneak home to send wild animals to inform their families to go to the mountains to dig for treasures. Otherwise, the inaccessible mountains and old forests can suddenly turn into a lively market.
The Tiger Fighting Team was unorganized and undisciplined, and had no respect for unknown dangers.
Village Chief Zhao Defu was sweating anxiously, clutching the white wooden board to discuss countermeasures.
There is no good solution to the white wooden board. After walking around in the mountains for two days, if the tiger does not appear, it will not be possible to check every corner of Nanguan Mountain like a blanket.
Not realistic.
Besides, tigers move. If you search here, the tiger will run over there.
There is no choice but to wait quietly.
"Brother, if we wait a few more days, maybe the tiger will appear." Bai Banban said.
"I think everyone is hoping that the tiger will never show up. The county government has said that five kilograms of rice, five kilograms of noodles and one hundred taels of silver a day are limited to five days. After five days, whoever catches the tiger will not be rewarded." Village Chief Zhao said .
Why didn't you explain it in advance? Bai Banban said very dissatisfiedly: "If you explain the situation to the big guys, they will be more powerful in searching the mountains."
While the two were talking, they heard a burst of noise.
Many people came up one after another in the forest. Listen carefully to the voices of the wives and children of Shenshu Village. Village Chief Zhao and Bai Banban had big heads.
It's all because You Mazi sneaked down the mountain and told the village that there were treasures in the mountains, leading the women and children in the village to hide deep in the mountains. If the tiger comes, it is no joke.
"Village chief, if the women and children in the village come here, you have to face them. Let alone tigers, even if there are no tigers, people can't easily enter this deep mountain forest." Bai Banban said to the village chief Zhao Defu.
Bai Banban was purely out of good intentions. He believed that these women and children who couldn't understand the danger must not be from Lao Bai's family. His mother must strictly prohibit her daughter-in-law from going up the mountain. Even if there is a huge treasure on the mountain, her mother will not go up the mountain.
"You are right. I think there are not only people from our village, but also more people from other villages. I will go and discuss with the village chiefs of Xiashan Village how to handle this matter." Village Chief Zhao said.
Village Chief Zhao went away for a while and then came back with his hands spread. The other village chiefs were unwilling to interfere with this matter, saying that the mountain was not personal and could be controlled by anyone who wanted to enter.
If you don't let them in, the wives and mothers-in-law will not only refuse to listen, but they will also think that you are blocking them from making money.
Who dares to touch this bad luck.
Village Chief Zhao doesn't care, and Bai Banban won't show up. He's not the village chief.
He could only take care of himself and his son. The white wooden board looked at the lively valley like a market and shook his head helplessly.
Members of the Tiger Fighting Team gathered together in small groups. Some even saw their wives and children going deep into the mountains. Not only did they not stop them, they even rushed to dig herbs together.
Now in the whole tiger hunting team, only Bai Dazhuang, Xie Xiaolian, Wu Xiaoying and You Qingya are keeping vigilant in hunting tigers.
Bai Zhaomei was eager to dig herbs and catch hares, but Xie Xiaolian and Bai Dazhuang held her down and did not dare to move. She followed Bai Dazhuang and others around with hoes.
You Qingya was sitting under the tree, chatting with Xia Qinghe.
Xia Qinghe is the only daughter-in-law in Xiashan Village who joins the tiger fighting team.
There is no doctor in Xiashan Village, and the only doctor in the village is in Shenshu Village.
The head of Xiashan Village thought that if the villagers got injured while hunting tigers, they could only seek help from the doctor in Shenshu Village. Naturally, the doctor would take care of Shenshu Village first.
Xia Qinghe happened to know herbal medicine and bandage, so he asked her to act as a logistics team and go up the mountain together.
Xia Qinghe was very happy.
Ever since a tiger tore off a piece of her husband's thigh meat, her mother-in-law has scolded her every day. She would rather go to the mountains to hunt tigers than suffer the consequences at home.
The mountain breeze was blowing gently, and Xia Qinghe was sitting under the tree, her temples spreading in the wind.
Xie Xiaolian sat under the tree opposite, looking at Xia Qinghe, feeling sad and happy at the same time.
The place where the veil was placed on his chest was hot.
