Northeast Golden Gradient Treats My Home as a Confinement Center

Chapter 2: Going up the mountain to collect Ganoderma

Muwu Village is located in Manjiang Town, BS City, with Changbai Mountain at its back and Songhua River in front.

The villagers make their living by fishing in the river and hunting in the mountains. Sometimes they also go into the mountains to pick Ganoderma lucidum and straw mushrooms, dig ginseng, dry them, and sell them to medicine dealers who come to the village to buy them.

There were also some people with more active brains who discovered market opportunities. They took advantage of the natural fertility of the black soil, built film greenhouses on it, and artificially cultivated Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. They made a fortune by taking advantage of the internet live streaming sales trend and became nouveau riche in the village.

After returning to the village, Shen Xing rested for two days. He distributed the cakes and pastries he brought from the Magic City to his neighbors, and then followed his father to the mountains to pick Ganoderma lucidum.

Early July is a good time for Ganoderma lucidum to grow.

Shen Xing's father, Shen Dahai, is an expert at collecting herbs and digging ginseng in the mountains and is very experienced.

Shen Xing, wearing rubber boots and carrying a bamboo basket on his back and holding an axe in his hand, followed Shen Dahai up the mountain.

In addition to Shen Xing and his son Shen Dahai, there were several villagers from Muwu Village. Shen Xing was not familiar with them. Shen Dahai said that they were from the west end of the village and they liked to gossip, so he asked Shen Xing to stay away from these old women.

"There are three kinds of Ganoderma lucidum in Changbai Mountain: red Ganoderma, purple Ganoderma, and pine Ganoderma. Among them, red Ganoderma has the best medicinal effect and is the best-selling one."

Walking in the primeval forest of Changbai Mountain, Shen Dahai introduced the varieties of Ganoderma lucidum to Shen Xing.

Shen Xing listened carefully, opened the memo on his phone and wrote it down.

"Hey, have you heard? Old Shen's son resigned from his job in the big city and stayed in the village."

"Doesn't he make more than 20,000 yuan a month? Why would he come back? Big cities are so good, with shopping malls and hospitals, and everything. Why would he come back?"

"Who knows? Maybe they don't like big cities and only like our small village."

"What a waste of his degree from a key university. If it were given to me, I would be able to buy a big house in a big city sooner or later and never come back to this shabby village again!"

……

The village is too small, there are no shortage of gossips, and there is no wall that is impenetrable. As soon as Shen Xing returned to the village, he became the topic of conversation among the village aunties and grandmas after dinner.

"The old ladies in the village are just gossipy. Don't pay attention to them."

Shen Dahai gave Shen Xing a look, fearing that his son's self-esteem would be hurt, and hurriedly comforted him.

"Dad, I'm fine, just let them go."

Shen Xing shook his head. He was too lazy to bother with such a peasant woman.

If you are not on the same level as me, then what I say will just be a waste of words and will be like talking to a cow.

For people like them who can barely read or write, if they go to work in Shanghai, they'd be lucky if they don't starve to death. Even if they can settle down, they'll have to do backbreaking labor.

How can it be so easy to survive in a big city?

Want to buy a house? What a dream!
211985, there are a lot of undergraduates and masters. Such highly educated people have to sigh in despair when faced with the high housing prices of several daburs per square meter. How can it be the turn of you old ladies who can't read or write?
When working in a big city, no matter how much money you want to earn, you have to exchange it with your health and life. Working overtime and staying up late are the norm. Don't make money but lose your life.

"Dad, keep talking."

Shen Xing blocked out the chatter of the gossipy women around him and let Shen Dahai continue introducing Ganoderma lucidum.

"Among these types of Ganoderma, red Ganoderma is the best. Ganoderma has very strict requirements for its growing environment, and must be grown on oak..."

Shen Xing had sharp ears. He listened to Shen Dahai introducing Ganoderma lucidum with one ear, while he heard a faint moan with the other ear.

It sounded like some small animal howling, and the sound was very soft.

"Dad, did you hear that?" Shen Xing pricked up his ears and asked Shen Dahai.

"What's that sound?" Shen Dahai looked confused.

"This way!"

Shen Xing instantly determined the source of the sound, which was exactly opposite to the direction where Shen Dahai was picking Zhi.

Seeing Shen Xing diving into the dense forest, Shen Dahai became anxious. The Changbai Mountain primeval forest is dense and has abundant vegetation. Even an experienced mountain hunter like him might get lost, let alone a novice like Shen Xing?
"Son, don't run around..." Shen Dahai shouted in a low voice behind him and hurriedly chased after him.

In addition to rare medicinal herbs, Changbai Mountain also has ferocious beasts and poisonous insects!
Especially large carnivorous wild animals like Siberian tigers, black bears, and Far Eastern leopards!
Shen Dahai didn't dare to shout loudly, otherwise it would be dangerous to attract the Siberian tiger and the black bear. It was early July, which was the time when the Siberian tiger and other ferocious beasts hunted.

Shen Dahai gritted his teeth and followed his son in.

Shen Xing followed the direction of the sound, passing through the dense forest and overgrown weeds, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

"It sounds like the cry of some small animal..."

"The voice is too weak..."

Shen Xing moved closer and closer to the sound.

When he got closer, his pupils shrank slightly. "This is..."

In front of me, there was a small animal slightly larger than a Chihuahua, with one foot caught in a trap. It was lying on the ground whimpering.

The little animal is only full-term, its eyes have just opened, it has fluffy brown-gray fur, and black stripes on its head, and it looks very cute.

After seeing the specific appearance of the little beast, Shen Xing opened his eyes wide and his pupils trembled.

"Fuck! This is a Siberian tiger!"

To be precise, it is a Siberian tiger cub.

Seeing the Siberian tiger cub, Shen Xing looked around, and his whole body felt as if he was poured with cold water. He shuddered all over and felt a chill in his heart.

When cats raise their cubs, the female will never leave their side unless the cubs grow up!
This means... the tigress must be around!

The cub is asking the tigress for help!

Looking at the deep and dense forests of Changbai Mountain around him and listening to the cries of the cubs, Shen Xing suddenly felt frightened.

The Siberian tiger is a first-class protected animal in China. It is very ferocious. Even if an adult has a gun in his hand, he may not be able to save his life from the tiger's mouth.

Hearing the cub's shrill cries, Shen Xing didn't dare to delay any longer. If the little tiger really attracted the adult Siberian tiger, he would be the one to die!

Shen Xing didn't dare to delay any longer and turned around and left.

Just then, the grass behind him rustled.

Seeing this scene, Shen Xing tensed up and subconsciously held the hatchet tightly in his hand.

"Son, what's wrong?"

Shen Dahai's figure flashed in the bushes. Seeing Shen Xing holding up the hatchet, he hurriedly asked.

Seeing Shen Dahai, Shen Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you holding the knife?" Shen Dahai asked curiously.

"Dad, look what this is."

Shen Xing dodged, revealing a gray and black furry little animal behind him.

"This is……"

When Shen Dahai saw the little beast, his face was filled with horror and his pupils contracted violently.

"This is a Siberian tiger cub!"

Shen Dahai is an experienced mountain herder. When he was young, he was a hunter in the village. Later, the government issued a policy requiring the people of Muwu Village to surrender their guns. Shen Dahai's career as a hunter ended, and he switched to mountain herders to dig up wild goods.

Shen Dahai had never seen a Siberian tiger, but he had seen the master who taught him how to shoot a gun being seriously injured by a Siberian tiger. The scars on one of his arms and his chest were caused by the scratches of an adult Siberian tiger when he went hunting in the mountains.

He lost an arm and his face was disfigured, but at least he saved his life.

When Shen Dahai thinks about the miserable condition of the hunter master, he is still shocked.

Looking at the little animal that was howling, Shen Dahai felt a chill on his back.

"Let's go, let's get out of here!"

Shen Dahai is indeed an experienced mountain herder. He instantly judged that the current situation was very dangerous. Once the tigress came back, neither he nor his son would be able to escape!
Shen Xing did not hesitate at all and followed Shen Dahai, ready to leave this dangerous place.

at this time,

drop----

Hearing the prompt tone, Shen Xing stopped.

[The "Animal Master" system has been successfully activated! ]

[The "Newbie Gift Pack" has been distributed to the personal space, and the host can take it out with his mind! ]

[Mission released: Save the Siberian tiger cub trapped in a trap! ]

[After completing the task, you will receive rewards: Animal Affinity (Basic), Hemostatic Bandage x1, Veterinary Trauma Medicine, and 1000 yuan in cash! ]

"Shen Xing, why are you still standing there? Let's go!" Shen Dahai urged anxiously, and was about to come over to hold Shen Xing's hand.

Shen Xing looked up at Shen Dahai, then looked at the tiger cub caught in the beast's cage, and said:
"Dad, I want to save it."
