Northeast Golden Gradient Treats My Home as a Confinement Center

Chapter 84 Ganoderma lucidum nest!

Shen Xing and the fat lynx, one man and one animal, went down the mountain carrying a backpack.

At this time, the sky was just getting light and the sun was about to rise. The villagers of the wooden house village had already gotten up and swept the floor. Soon, smoke was rising from the kitchens of every household. The housewives began to cook breakfast, while the heads of the household packed up tools such as axes and backpacks, preparing to start today's "one-day mountain life".

Muwu Village is an ancient village nestled in the mountains and beside the water. Hunting is now prohibited and the traditional fishing and hunting lifestyle has gradually been eliminated. In order to survive, the villagers can only rely on the mountains to make a living. They go to Changbai Mountain to find wild delicacies and then sell them to wild food dealers to earn family income. No matter men, women, young or old, as long as they have time, they will go up the mountain to pick Ganoderma lucidum and wild delicacies.

Shen Xing was afraid that the villagers would see the fat lynx, so he got up half an hour earlier and went up the mountain with his father. Now that they were going down the mountain, there was a chance that they would run into villagers who went into the mountain to collect delicacies.

"Little lynx, walk faster and don't let the villagers see you." Shen Xing urged the fat lynx.

If the villagers saw his two baskets full of wild delicacies, the whole village would know about it in less than half an hour. They would flock to his house and ask him how he got these wild delicacies and why there were so many.
Shen Xing couldn't tell them that he had a cheat, right?

Even if Shen Xing didn't say anything, the villagers would pester his father Shen Dahai. His father would get annoyed and might even loosen up and reveal the Black Emperor.

When the villagers heard this, they were surprised that this little black dog could find wild delicacies? His nose was so sharp?
Why don't you find a way to borrow the dog from Shen Xing?

If Shen Xing said he would not lend the money, the villagers would go to his father Shen Dahai. After all, his father was from Muwu Village, and these uncles and aunts were his elders. His father was very embarrassed and it would be very difficult for him to do so.

Therefore, in order to keep the secret of the treasure-hunting little black dog, Shen Xing had to quietly transport these mountain delicacies back home!
The fat lynx nodded humanely. Shen Xing had reminded it long ago, so now it didn't even dare to breathe loudly and walked on tiptoe for fear of attracting the attention of the villagers.

The man and the beast walked down the mountain along the path. Shen Xing saw that they were not far from home and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the grass in front rustled, and an old lady wearing Liberation Shoes appeared. She was carrying a bamboo basket on her back and holding an axe in her hand, clearing a path.

"Oh no." Shen Xing felt something was wrong when he saw someone there.

The old lady heard some noise ahead and looked up to see Shen Xing and the huge mountain cat weighing over a hundred pounds.

When she saw the fat lynx, the old lady's pupils trembled and she said in surprise:
"Did you raise this lynx?"

The old lady was obviously also an experienced mountaineer and recognized the big mountain cat.

Shen Xing smiled awkwardly and nodded.

The old lady in front of me had a hunched back and was very thin, the kind that was very shriveled. Her hair was all white, her face was full of wrinkles, and her skin was dark. It was obvious that she had been traveling up the mountain all year round.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have the eyesight to recognize the fat lynx.

"It's rare to see a bobcat this big." The old lady nodded.

Her eyes stopped at the bamboo basket carried on the fat lynx's back. A hint of surprise flashed across her face, but quickly disappeared.

She turned her head and looked at Shen Xing's backpack again, and the surprise in her eyes became even stronger.

"Old lady, the road is slippery, please walk slowly." Shen Xing reminded her kindly.

The old lady nodded and made way for the man and the beast. However, after Shen Xing turned around, she stared at the two backpacks full of wild delicacies with greedy eyes.

"Meow~"

After walking for a distance, the fat lynx called out to Shen Xing.

"You noticed it too?" Shen Xing asked.

"Meow meow!" The fat lynx told Shen Xing that it didn't like the look of the old lady, and always felt that she had some bad intentions.

The five senses of animals are sometimes sharper than those of humans. Just when they met just now, the fat lynx felt that the old lady's eyes were always on the backpack he was carrying.

"Forget it, forget about that old woman, just go home first."

Shen Xing shook his head. There was no need to care about an old lady he didn't know.

Shen Xing and the fat lynx went down the mountain and went home. When Li Xue saw that there were two large backpacks full of mountain delicacies, she smiled so much that her eyes disappeared. She asked her son, "How did you and your father do it?"
Shen Xing said he was lucky and made an excuse to his mother.

The secret that the little black dog can find wild delicacies only needs to be known by him and his father. The less people know, the less risk there is.

Shen Xing poured some water for the fat lynx and gave it a piece of beef for it to eat.

The two men rested for a few minutes to replenish their strength, then each carried an empty bamboo basket on their backs and went up the mountain again.

"I make 10,000 a day, but I'm still halfway to making it. I need to pick more."

Shen Xing was determined to get the system's reward. With that encyclopedia, he could directly become an experienced mountaineer!

"Next, I need to pick more Ganoderma lucidum and dig more ginseng." Shen Xing pondered.

The most valuable delicacies from Changbai Mountain are Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng!

Shen Xing and the fat lynx returned to the path and did not see the old lady who made them feel uncomfortable. For this, Shen Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

The man and the beast continued to go up the mountain.

Soon, they caught up with Shen Dahai and the three beasts who were waiting for them there.

Shen Xing told his father Shen Dahai about the incident with a strange old lady he met on the road.

When Shen Dahai heard this, his expression changed immediately.

He quickly asked:
"Is he a little hunched over, skinny, wearing Liberation shoes, with a mean face and a mole between his eyebrows?"

"He is a little hunched and very thin. I didn't notice whether he has any moles, but his face is quite long, long and pointed. I don't like it." Shen Xing replied frankly.

"Oh no, this is the old witch!" Shen Dahai screamed after confirming that it was the person he knew.

"Old witch?"

Hearing this, Shen Xing was stunned. What kind of statement was this? There was such a person in the village? A fortune teller?

"Hey! We are really unlucky today!"

Shen Dahai seemed to be very afraid of this old lady. He became dejected and helpless whenever she was mentioned.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Shen Xing looked confused and puzzled.

She's just an old lady! Why should you be afraid of her?

As two old men, would we be afraid of an old lady in her seventies?
"I'm not afraid, I'm just worried, ah!" Shen Dahai slapped his thigh and said helplessly.

"Who is this old witch? Dad, do you know her?" Shen Xing was very curious. He wanted to see what abilities this old witch had to make his father Shen Dahai so annoyed.

"Lilac's mother." Shen Dahai said.

"This..." Upon hearing this, Shen Xing's mouth twitched suddenly. He stopped talking when he was about to say something. He wanted to continue speaking, but it was as if he was stuck.

"The mother of Lilac, the girl with a foul mouth at the west end of the village?" Shen Xing asked again.

"Yes, that's her."

Lilac's reputation in the wooden house village is notorious because of her gossiping mouth. Everyone who sees her will curse her for bad luck. What kind of fragrant flower is this? It's obviously a poisonous flower!

What's more, Ding Xianghua's man is a jerk!
Ding Xianghua’s mother is Ma Lengzi’s mother-in-law!

Not a family, don't enter the same door!

Like mother like son!
One can imagine the character of this old witch who can grow a "poisonous flower" like lilac!

"Hey! You could have been seen by anyone else, but by that old witch? She's famous in the village for taking advantage of others." Shen Dahai looked at his son, angry and annoyed, with a helpless look on his face. This old witch is just a pile of shit, whoever steps on it will be covered in filth.

"How would I know she would take that path? An old lady, she's already in her seventies or eighties, why would she get up so early?" Shen Xing was also helpless. He took the path because he was afraid of running into people, but what he feared came true, and it turned out to be a disaster!
"You didn't run into him again when you went up the mountain, did you?" Shen Dahai asked curiously.

"No." Shen Xing shook his head.

"That's fine. As long as the old witch can't find us, it's okay." Shen Dahai breathed a sigh of relief.

Still feeling uneasy, Shen Dahai walked a few steps towards Shen Xing. He looked around on the roadside and checked. When he saw no one, he felt relieved.

Changbai Mountain is so big and the forest is so dense that an old lady in her seventies may not be able to keep up with them.

"Let's go and continue picking up mountain products." Shen Dahai waved.

"Xiao Hei, lead the way." Shen Xing shouted at the little black dog. The latter understood what he meant, raised his head, sniffed the air, and identified the location of the mountain delicacies.

After a while, the little black dog wagged its tail happily and barked twice at Shen Xing, looking very excited and impatient.

"Did we find something big?" Shen Xing became excited when he saw the little black dog so excited.

"Woof woof woof!" The little black dog nodded and ran towards a certain direction.

"Follow me, follow me!" Shen Xing called out.

A group of people and animals followed the little black dog. The roads in Changbai Mountain were difficult to walk on, and some roads were even nonexistent. Shen Xing and Shen Dahai used the axes in their hands to clear a path. They went into the dense forest and walked for about ten minutes. Then the little black dog stopped and barked excitedly at the place not far away.

Shen Xing looked forward and his eyes widened.

"That's... a Ganoderma lucidum nest!"

There are four or five fallen dead trees in front of me. On each of the trees, there are scattered red umbrellas, some big and some small.

Although there are not many of these little red umbrellas, there are some growing on four or five dead trees, so the number is considerable, about twenty or so.

"There is actually a nest of Ganoderma lucidum at the foot of the mountain!" Shen Dahai was also surprised, his face flushed a little, and he was excited.

A Ganoderma lucidum nest is a small area where Ganoderma lucidum grows. This is an old saying among mountain herders. If a mountain herder finds a "Ganoderma lucidum nest" on the mountain, he is guaranteed to find a batch of wild Ganoderma lucidum, at least three.

The Ganoderma lucidum nest in front of me obviously has not three but more than twenty Ganoderma lucidum growing on it!

"I made a lot of money this time. With so many Ganoderma lucidum, I can sell them for a lot of money." Shen Dahai said with a smile.

He squatted down and fondled the little black dog's head, saying with a smile:
"Well done, Xiao Hei. I'll cook beef for you when we get home!"

Xiao Hei played an indispensable role in the discovery of so many Ganoderma lucidum in the outer area.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

When Xiao Hei was praised by his owner, he wagged his tail happily.

"Xiao Hei is the number one contributor to today's drive, he must take the seat!"

This is the outer area of ​​Changbai Mountain. Even if there were any wild delicacies here, they would have been looted by the villagers long ago. But Xiao Hei, with his nose, led them to find this Ganoderma lucidum nest, and they picked up more than 20 wild Ganoderma lucidum. With this credit, they had a beef buffet and ate until their stomachs burst!

“Although these red ganoderma are only one year old, they are of good quality and can be sold at a good price.”

Shen Dahai carefully picked one and checked the appearance of the red ganoderma. It was of extremely high quality and of premium grade, and could be purchased at the highest price from mountain goods dealers.

Shen Dahai carefully put the Ganoderma lucidum into his backpack, reached forward and was about to pick the second Ganoderma lucidum.

At this moment, a figure appeared nearby, stretched out his hand unexpectedly, and directly snatched the wild red ganoderma in front of Shen Dahai.

"who!"

Shen Dahai was startled. He jumped up from his squatting position and took a few steps back.

The figure appeared silently, like a ghost.

Shen Xing took a look and saw that the figure was an old lady. She was wearing a pair of Jiefang brand shoes, had a slightly hunched back, was very thin, had a sharp and mean look, and there was a black mole in the middle of her eyebrow.

Damn, it’s that old lady I met on the path!
That’s what my father Shen Dahai said... the old witch!
"It's...it's you!"

After seeing the appearance of the "ghost" clearly, Shen Dahai couldn't help but shiver.

The hunchbacked old lady held the Ganoderma lucidum in her hands, her eyes sparkling, and said in a hoarse voice:

"It looks good, I'll take it."

It was an unpleasant hoarse sound, like a ghost crying in the middle of the night.

Before Shen Dahai could react, the old lady reached down and picked another wild Ganoderma lucidum.

"Wang!"

"Ouch!"

"Meow!"

Seeing that their delicacies were snatched away by someone, the little animals immediately became angry and started roaring at the old lady, scratching the ground with their claws and making attacking gestures.

These beast roars woke Shen Xing up.

"Hey, what are you doing! We were the first to discover these Ganoderma lucidum!"

Shen Xing scolded the old lady.

The old lady seemed to be deaf and was busy picking the Ganoderma lucidum growing on the dead trees, one by one. Soon, five or six wild Ganoderma lucidum were put into her backpack.

"Woof woof woof!" When the little black dog saw so many wild delicacies being taken away, he barked even more fiercely.

The little tiger cub had a ferocious look on his face, baring his fangs, and wanted to pounce on the shameless old biped and bite it to death!

The reason why the little animals reacted so violently was that Shen Xing had promised them that as long as they collected enough wild delicacies, they would have enough chicken legs and beef to satisfy their hunger!
These are not delicacies at all, they are clearly the chicken legs and meat they had for tonight!
Seeing that the meat and chicken legs were snatched away, Xiao Hei and Xiao Tian were naturally very anxious.

"Meow!"

The fat lynx roared, its fur shook, and it opened its bloody mouth and bared its teeth, trying to attack the old lady and bite through her throat!
"Big Bobcat, don't, don't!"

Shen Dahai stepped forward and stood between the man and the beast.

When the fat lynx saw Shen Dahai stopping it, it became a little angry and roared at Shen Dahai, its eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.

"Little Lynx, don't hurt anyone."

Shen Xing spoke quickly.

This old lady is thin and small, over seventy years old, and just a bunch of old bones. When you, little lynx, pounced on her, you scared her to death before you could bite her to death. Even if she wasn't scared to death, several bones in her body would be broken!

If this old lady broke her bones, wouldn't she blackmail him and his son?

Looking at this shameless hunchbacked old lady, Shen Xing finally understood.

Why is my dad so worried...
