Zhao Liya was very happy and took them all back, and gave some to Widow Qu.
Zhao Liya noticed yesterday that Widow Qu must really like fish.
The fish fillet and shrimp porridge made for breakfast is very delicious with a handful of chopped leeks.
After breakfast, everyone planned to go out into the wild to cut down bamboo, wood sticks, and bamboo branches, and set up a melon shed first. Unexpectedly, Gu Laoer came just after breakfast and before going out.
Seeing that he, his wife, and the Zhao family were very calm, they felt like "We're finally here!"
"What's the matter with you two?"
Zhao Xiang, the head of the family, stepped forward and asked.
"Humph!" Gu Laoer smiled with malice on his face: "I'm just here to tell you that it's your turn to do corvee service. We need Ganoderma lucidum. Your family can get two of them that are more than a hundred years old and hand them over within a month. Ugly words.
Let me tell you up front, if you fail to hand it over after the due date, you will be slapped with a blackmail and fined with hard labor!"
This sudden news made everyone in the Zhao family change their minds.
"Besides our family, who else should hand over this Ganoderma lucidum?"
Gu Laoer was waiting for these words and sneered: "It's just your family! Your family is very capable and wealthy. Hey, such a small thing can't trouble you, right?"
Zhao Xiang said calmly: "Okay, we will find a way ourselves."
Gu Laoer originally wanted to say something, but Zhao Xiang's attitude made it impossible for him to continue, so he could only glare at him and sneer: "Then I'll wait!"
After that, he walked away arrogantly.
As soon as he left, the Zhao family's forced composure immediately disappeared.
"This is how to do ah!"
"How can I find Ganoderma lucidum that is over a hundred years old?"
"Father and mother, I will go into the mountains tomorrow to try my luck. No, I will go today."
"Oh, what a sin!"
Zhao Liya said calmly: "Dad, Mom, we are new here, and everything will not go smoothly. Isn't it just two Ganoderma lucidum plants? Let's just look for it. Since the government wants this thing, it means that it can be found, but it will be difficult at most.
Find some."
"Okay, Ya'er is right, madam, you don't have to worry. Don't worry, everyone. In this case, Ah Ling and I will go into the mountains to look for it."
Once the matter is settled, there is no point in being anxious.
Things like Yancun are the responsibility of the Gu family, and they have no choice at all. So they can only do it.
"Father, you don't need to go, I will just go."
"Dad, you and your mother can take care of our vegetable garden and newly planted fruit trees at home. My brother and I will go into the mountains."
"No!" Zhao Xiang, his wife and Hu Ling said in unison.
However, of course Zhao Liya would not be obedient, "Mom, dad, don't worry. I'm not afraid of a few gangsters. It's no big deal if they go into the mountains. Besides, I still have my brother here. We won't be brave. If we really can't find him,
, will come back as soon as possible. Our family still has a little money, at worst, we will use the money to make up for it..."
The term "100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum" is just a saying. As long as it is big enough and the year is seventy or eighty, it can survive even fifty or sixty years.
They still have about 990 taels of silver, which is enough to deal with this time.
Zhao Liya has already planned that if they really find it, they will hand it over directly to Yu Gongcao and will never pass it through the hands of Gu's family. By the way, they will give Yu Gongcao a gift.
After hearing this, everyone subconsciously felt a little relieved, and Deng hurriedly said: "In this case, why go into the mountains to take risks? Just pay the money!"
"No, mother, this time the Gu family will become more and more clinging to us and won't let go!"
If the Gu family wants to see them endure hardships, then they might as well endure hardships and show them. If they can easily take out the money, the Gu family will definitely get worse!
Once this is over, make long-term plans.
Zhao Liya then said to Aunt Li Eleven: "Aunt Eleven, while we are away, could you please help me and remind my father and mother of everything? You are familiar with this area, please."
Aunt Li Shiyi nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, I'm here, it'll be okay! You should also be careful."
"Well, we will!"
When Zhao Xiang and Deng saw that Shi Shiran's explanation and arrangement had finalized the matter, they didn't know what to say for a moment.
In the end, they couldn't change Zhao Liya's decision, so they had to give the same warning again and again.
Zhao Liya was in no hurry to leave immediately, she had to take care of things at home.
The melon shed still needs to be built, so I’ll ask Aunt Li Shiyi about what’s going on in the mountains here, and then I’ll go ask Aunt Qu about it after dark...
There are also clothes, shoes, medicines, food, etc. that need to be prepared.
There are yams in the mountains, it is easy to catch fish in the creeks, and there are also some wild fruits in the mountains at this time, which can satisfy your hunger. Then fry the rice, bring more fried rice, and chew a handful when you are hungry, which will make you more hungry.
There is rice and vegetables at home, and Aunt Qu secretly helps from time to time. Aunt Li Shiyi said that she can bring some back to Zaihu Village, so there is no need to worry.
Zhao Liya stopped worrying about this matter.
The Gu family was only interested in seeing them in disgrace over the Ganoderma lucidum matter, so they expected that they would not come to the house to cause trouble in the near future.
Two days later, when the sky was dark, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling set out with their backpacks on their backs.
Mrs. Deng and Aunt Li Shiyi prepared a lot of fried rice for them, carefully wrapped it in oilcloth and then put it in a sack.
The two of them also rushed early, boiled twenty eggs in plain water, and put two tubes of cooked rice in bamboo tubes for them to take with them.
The whole family watched with tears in their eyes.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling didn't feel much at all. They knew each other better, so they were calm.
If nothing else, self-protection should not be a big problem.
Zhao Liya even joked: "Maybe we are lucky enough to find a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum! Well, if we really find it, let's just hide it and get it to the provincial capital to sell it at a good price and buy two younger-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
.This transaction cannot be too perfect, otherwise there may be something waiting for you next time.”
Hu Ling laughed and said, "Okay, let's do it then!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had already obtained the century-old Ganoderma lucidum.
The two of them were on the road almost all day, and it seemed that they stopped in the forest around four o'clock in the afternoon.
This area is no longer flat and hilly. The mountains are rolling and rolling, and there are countless big trees hugging each other. The trees and vegetation in the forest are extremely lush and lush. When the wind passes, the rustling and rattling noises make people subconsciously feel that they are hiding everywhere.
Dangerous beast.
It took the two of them some time to find a cave halfway up the mountain where they could safely spend the night.
The entrance to the cave is not too big, but the place inside is not small.
There are many mountains and caves in the Lingnan area, which is good for survival in the wild.
Zhao Liya: "Let's first check whether the cave is safe or not. We'll do some simple cleaning. We'll go around and bring some firewood to deal with it first. We'll pick up more firewood tomorrow and bring back some thick branches to cover the entrance of the cave. Then we'll get familiar with it.
Let’s go out and try our luck the day after tomorrow. We tentatively plan to stay here for three to four days and spend the night here. What do you think?”
This arrangement was very thorough. Hu Ling nodded: "Okay!" This chapter has been completed!
