Liu Rumei was very excited when she heard this, "If that's the case, let's walk a little more tomorrow and see what the end looks like."
Chen Xiaobei knew that if he didn't agree to this matter, Liu Rumei would definitely not be finished, so he might as well settle for the next best thing and set a condition, "Okay, then let's set off early tomorrow. We have to get back before noon, otherwise it will be dark and we won't be able to go down. went."
After eating, everyone gathered together in twos and threes, leaning against the tree trunks and getting ready to sleep.
Although Chen Xiaobei had been saying that there were no ferocious beasts in this place and everyone could sleep peacefully, Liu Rumei still carefully arranged the checkpoints.
And in the evening, she was even more generous and directly approached Chen Xiaobei.
By the way, Chen Xiaobei was a little embarrassed. He lowered his voice and said, "Rumei, look at so many people here, should we..."
As he said this, he deliberately moved to the side, but Liu Rumei ignored him and leaned closer.
"You are my husband, and it is natural for me to sleep next to you. Why are you still hiding from me?"
Well, after saying this, Chen Xiaobei simply stopped moving. He closed his eyes slightly, leaned against the tree trunk, looked around, and said in a low voice, "There are some ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum here. If you need it, You can take some back tomorrow."
"But it's best to leave someone to dig alone and not let the two village guards see it."
After hearing this, Liu Rumei obviously did not understand the deeper meaning, and subconsciously asked, "Why are you carrying them behind your back?"
"There are so many people in the village, and everyone came to dig them up. They dug me out very quickly, and I wanted to keep them for a few years before I could get a better price."
After hearing this, Liu Rumei agreed softly, "If that's the case, we won't dig it out, let's keep it for now."
After speaking, he rested his head on Chen Xiaobei's shoulder, "Actually, I feel at ease if I can come with you."
Chen Xiaobei knew that this was the main purpose of Liu Rumei coming with him.
He patted Liu Rumei's shoulder gently, "Okay, let's rest and leave early tomorrow."
The next day, when the sky was dark and bright, Chen Xiaobei was awakened by a sparse movement.
When she opened her eyes slightly, she realized that Liu Rumei had gotten up at some point and was boiling water with Xiao Qing.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei open his eyes, Liu Rumei laughed, "Brother Xiaobei, please sleep a little longer. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'm going to take a look around. We have to continue walking in for a while."
Chen Xiaobei stood up, moved his hands and feet, and walked into the grass nearby.
Many of the grasses in the distance have reached waist height. Although the leaves are a little yellow, the roots are still green.
It can be seen from this that although it is warm now in Calabash Valley, it should be considered to have four seasons, otherwise the grass will not turn yellow.
After pulling at several patches of grass, Chen Xiaobei finally discovered a few Ganoderma lucidum plants. Each of these Ganoderma lucidum leaves looked like they were no bigger than a copper coin. They probably hadn't grown for a few years.
Chen Xiaobei covered it up carefully, walked forward for a while, and after picking at it for a long time, he finally saw a few ginseng, which were only as thick as a thumb. The red beads on the top of his head were gone.
It can be seen that it fell off naturally, and the red beads have turned dry brown when they fell on the ground.
After watching this scene, Chen Xiaobei felt relieved. This showed that no one had come since they carried military supplies down the mountain on a large scale.
By the time Chen Xiaobei came back, everyone had already started to have breakfast. Everyone had a bowl of hot soup and some dry food they brought with them.
This was beyond Chen Xiaobei's expectation. He didn't expect Liu Rumei to be so careful and bring more than a dozen bowls.
In addition to some water in the water bag, I and the village protection team members also brought some dry food and dried meat. From this, it can be seen that Liu Rumei and the others do have experience in surviving in the wild, but she is still far behind in this regard.
After breakfast, everyone simply tidied up and walked along the rugged path, walking five or six miles in one breath. The situation on both sides seemed to have not changed much. There were still sparse weeds with occasional weeds. There are some small wild flowers, and there are ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in the weeds.
After walking forward for a while, Liu Ziming shouted, "Look, there is a sign here. It should be placed by someone."
Everyone gathered around and took a closer look. Chen Xiaobei smiled and said, "This is the mark left by my visit that night."
"That night, there was a fight outside. I wanted to find another exit, but I couldn't find it after running for a long time. I marked it here, so I had to turn back."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing, Liu Rumei also pointed forward, "At a glance, the land is still like this for four or five miles, maybe there is really no end."
But at this time, Chen Xiaobei changed his mind. He smiled and said to everyone, "It's still early. Let's walk a little further. If we can't see the end, we'll come back."
After walking for about half an hour, the sun shone into the valley.
The sun was shining brightly, and the temperature in the entire valley rose rapidly. In the end, everyone even had to take off their coats.
Although there is no concept of autumn clothes and autumn trousers at this time, you still have to wear a layer underneath, which is probably what it looks like.
After walking for a while, someone started shouting. Looking at the weeds on both sides, some were even as tall as a person. It is understandable if you think about it. After all, no one was taking care of it. Chen Xiaobei thought for a moment, holding the branch in his hand, After tapping the grass for a while to make sure there weren't any insects or snakes inside, I carefully pulled the weeds apart.
The rest of the crowd also understood what Chen Xiaobei was thinking, and imitating his example, they all began to dig through the grass layer by layer. Finally, Chen Daqiang shouted, "Come and see, there are big Ganoderma lucidum here."
Chen Xiaobei heard this and ran over quickly. Isn't that right? Each piece of Ganoderma lucidum is almost as big as the palm of your hand. Good guy, how many years does it take to grow?
Amid everyone's admiration, Liu Rumei straightened up and looked at the guards behind her, "Okay, let's all disperse."
Of course Chen Xiaobei understood what Liu Rumei meant, and he patted Chen Daqiang's shoulder gently, "Brother Daqiang, let's go, let's go forward."
Chen Daqiang was very surprised, "Brother, why don't we take it? It looks a bit old."
Chen Xiaobei thought for a while, turned around, found a piece of gravel and a branch, and made a mark on the edge of the grass.
"Let's go forward first and take it with us when we come back."
When Chen Daqiang saw this, he could only agree.
Chen Xiaobei led everyone to continue walking forward for about four or five miles. Everyone was a little unable to walk, and there were obviously tall trees on both sides. It was lush and green, and there were some unknown insects and birds in the forest. , walking happily through the forest.
