Returning to the small mountain village of '86, intelligence updated daily.

Zhou Rui, who was playfully fighting with Zhou Ming, stopped and looked at the distant cliff. Because it was still a bit far away, no one could see the Ganoderma lucidum on it clearly.

However, Zhou Rui knew that the final destination of this trip had finally been reached.

The other three also saw the cliff blocking their way. At this point, Zhou Shijie suggested that they go around to the side and continue along the stream.

"Brother, there's no road ahead. How about we go around to the side and see if there's any prey?"

Zhou Shiwei has sharp eyes. He noticed what looked like some kind of plant growing on the cliff, but he wasn't sure what it was.

Out of caution and to confirm, Zhou Shiwei did not let go of this opportunity that he thought he might be able to dig up some mountain products.

He did not answer Zhou Shijie's question, but walked to the front of the group and approached the cliff.

When they got close enough, Zhou Shiwei smiled and turned to Zhou Shijie, saying:

"Second brother, do you want some Ganoderma lucidum here?"

He asked back in a lighthearted tone.

Zhou Shijie jogged forward a couple of steps and finally saw the few reddish-brown Ganoderma lucidum plants.

Zhou Shijie immediately opened his mouth wide. He didn't recognize the musk deer, but he had heard many legends about Ganoderma lucidum.

"Big brother! Lingzhi! This is Lingzhi!"

Zhou Shijie's expressions were very rich.

"Big brother has a sharp eye; we almost missed this. I heard that Ganoderma lucidum is an elixir of immortality? It must be very expensive, right?"

Zhou Ming also became interested and looked at his father, waiting for him to explain. Instead of standing around chatting, the group walked closer to the cliff.

Zhou Shiwei has seen a lot of the world, knows a lot, and has a more open mind, so of course he knows that those are just gimmicks.

"Expensive? It's all hype. Anything in your basket is more expensive than this."

Zhou Shiwei paused, as if remembering something, and then added:

"However, I heard that there are lingzhi mushrooms shaped like auspicious clouds, and those are really expensive."

"But this one today is clearly Ganoderma lucidum. Although it's cheap, it's still considered a rare mountain product."

Zhou Shiwei had already reached the foot of the cliff. The red fungus was growing on the cliff face, which was about two people high, and it was difficult for one person to pick it whole.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shijie suddenly realized what was happening and suppressed his surprise.

Zhou Rui, who was following behind, naturally recognized it as Chizhi, which is also a type of Ganoderma lucidum, and is more common than Xiangyunzhi.

They can also fetch a good price. These Ganoderma lucidum plants are all over 10 centimeters in diameter. If they are dried, each plant can sell for about 1.8 yuan.

Although these things are much less impressive than the rare items we just saw, every little bit helps!

Even if these few plants can only sell for five or six yuan, that's still enough to exchange for dozens of kilograms of grain.

It turns out that there really is a Ganoderma lucidum on this cliff!

Moreover, fortunately, it's not the kind of worthless Ganoderma lucidum that you can collect and still earn some income.

Although there was already a huge unexpected surprise, we're already here.

Zhou Rui wouldn't be so foolish as to think that the bowls and chopsticks he ate from were worthless just because he got a gold bar.

They certainly wouldn't be so arrogant as to reject this thing.

Finally, Zhou Ming rode on Zhou Shiwei's back and carefully picked the eight red fungus from the cliff.

Zhou Shiwei especially reminded Zhou Ming that the Ganoderma lucidum must be picked whole, because broken and whole Ganoderma lucidum are not worth the same price.

Zhou Rui caught them below, and after Zhou Ming handed them to him one by one, he also began to examine them.

They are all in very good condition, and there is even a large one with a diameter that looks to be 15 centimeters.

This was within Zhou Rui's expectations, because in places rarely visited by people, the growth of these things is not affected, so they can grow to a large size.

Their current location is extremely secluded; to get here, one must take a seemingly dead-end path leading to the pine forest.

We also need to find the right way to get here from that pine forest. The stream isn't always there, although people are used to following the direction of the water flow.

But we need to find the way first.

The most difficult part was still that small path at the beginning.

Not only are they extremely difficult to find, but if you're not careful once you're inside, you could easily get lost or even fall into a hole without realizing it.

After the collection was completed, Zhou Ming shrugged off his father's shoulder.

Zhou Ming was very curious about the Ganoderma lucidum placed on the ground; he had heard many legends about it.

But after hearing his father say that, he gained a more comprehensive understanding of Ganoderma lucidum.

Zhou Shijie watched from the side, nodding repeatedly. He had been so ignorant before that he had no idea about such things.

However, he now faces his shortcomings squarely and learns from his older brother and Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui carefully placed the Ganoderma lucidum into his basket. This time, Zhou Shiwei didn't try to take it from him, because these few pieces of Ganoderma lucidum weren't heavy.

It's about 1 p.m. now, the sun is shining brightly, but it's not hot.

Zhou Shijie lined his basket with a layer of leaves and weeds to avoid direct sunlight.

Back by the stream, Zhou Shiwei did not bring up the suggestion to return again.

The group continued walking forward. Just before picking the Ganoderma lucidum, Zhou Shiwei had shot a rabbit with a bow and arrow.

We didn't use guns this time, because it wasn't worth it, and bullets are very expensive, costing more than a dollar each.

It's not worth using "weapons" for a little rabbit; that would be too extravagant.

Zhou Rui also marveled at his father's reputation; he could see the whole picture from a single shot, and that his accuracy was remarkable.

Today's harvest includes a wild rabbit, eight red fungus, and a forest musk deer.

It was a great harvest, but everyone knew that without the musk deer, the mountain produce they had obtained today would have been quite meager.

This also has to do with luck. Sometimes, things happen unexpectedly. Many experienced hunters try their best to get their hands on a musk deer, but very few succeed.

Most hunters may never hunt a musk deer in their lifetime.

The four of them walked along the stream from the mountains, and after about half an hour, they reached the foot of the third mountain.

Just as Zhou Shiwei was about to persuade everyone to go home, he heard a noise in the distance and immediately noticed it.

However, this time it was Zhou Rui who was the first to discover it.

He stopped in his tracks and gently tugged at Zhou Shijie's arm.

In the distance, at the foot of what is arguably the third mountain, beside a stream, a group of large deer, each with a pair of crossed triangular antlers, are leisurely drinking water!

Zhou Rui was restless; he had finally found the original purpose for coming here!

Although the location was slightly off, it was generally near the area indicated by intelligence.

The deer herd was very conspicuous, but even more conspicuous were their large antlers.

All four of them looked ahead without prior arrangement, with Zhou Shijie being the most restless among them.

A few days ago, he was still regretting that he hadn't been able to acquire the water deer!

Now they're right there again, and unlike last time, this time they have guns!
