Everyone still had things to do tomorrow, so we didn't chat for long before we went to rest.
The three men took turns to keep vigil and refused Zhao Liya to join. Zhao Liya tried hard for a few words but stopped insisting.
Although she is not a weak woman, she should enjoy this "privilege" if she can!
The next day, just after dawn, everyone woke up.
All kinds of birds chirp loudly in the early morning, and some of the sounds are very sharp, disturbing people's dreams.
The four of them had a simple breakfast and then went their separate ways.
Before parting, Yu Xiaofang gave the two of them a box of ointment to prevent mosquito bites, and they accepted it with polite thanks.
But there is a high probability that I will come back here to spend the night.
After getting along for a while, both parties had a good impression and opinion of each other, and Zhao Liya and Hu Ling felt a little more settled.
Four people are safer than two people.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling searched for five days in the mountains, but still could not find any trace of Ganoderma lucidum. However, they found many other mushrooms and spread them out to dry at the entrance of the cave where they spent the night.
Although the two of them were anxious, there was nothing they could do.
We've searched all over this area, and since we can't find it, we have to find another place on the mountain. Then we have to find another place to live.
Zhao Liya: "Let's search for two more days. If we can't find it again, we have to go back. Rest at home for two days and then try another mountain. What do you think?"
Hu Ling nodded: "It's time to go back first, otherwise my adoptive father and stepmother will be anxious."
Zhao Liya thought the same way. If her parents were anxious and the Gu family took the opportunity to stir up trouble and intimidate them, they might become chaotic and let the Gu family succeed.
Besides, life in the mountains is really difficult, so it’s time to go back and rest.
If it weren't for Lin Mo and Yu Xiaofang's courage, they might have gone back today.
Unexpectedly, luck would come. The next day on a steep slope in a forest, Zhao Liya's eyes lit up and she finally found Ganoderma lucidum!
Three trees in total!
One small one is only about the size of a palm, and the other two big ones are more than 20 centimeters in diameter! The largest one is more than 30 centimeters in diameter according to visual inspection!
"Finally found it! This trip was really not in vain! Look, I think this must be hundreds of years old, hahahaha!" Zhao Liya laughed proudly, elated.
Hu Ling also smiled so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears, and nodded: "Yeah, yeah, definitely! Anyway, I have never seen such a big Ganoderma lucidum, this is definitely a treasure!"
"Take it off quickly!"
"Hey good!"
Two people carefully dug out three Ganoderma lucidum plants, carefully wrapped them several layers with thatch and thick leaves, and carefully placed them in backpacks.
I wasn't in a hurry now. I had time to focus on other places on the way back, so I picked some more mushrooms and put them on my backpack.
In the evening, the two said goodbye to Lin Mo and Yu Xiaofang, saying they would go back tomorrow.
Yu Xiaofang smiled and said: "You have been out for so many days, it's time to go back. Be careful on the road! Have you found the Ganoderma lucidum?"
Zhao Liya nodded, smiled lightly and said: "I found two trees, it's safer to take them back first."
Yu Xiaofang: "Ah, yes, then you are in good luck!"
"Thanks to you," Zhao Liya said gratefully: "Do you like to eat fish? We have a fishing net at home, and we will catch some fish and send some to you."
Yu Xiaofang laughed: "Okay, thank you very much!"
"Brother Yu, you're welcome!"
Fortunately, he didn't ask how big the Ganoderma lucidum was, so Zhao Liya breathed a sigh of relief.
If she had only found an average-sized Ganoderma lucidum, she wouldn't have kept it a secret, but with such a large size and in such good condition, she really didn't dare to easily trust outsiders who didn't fully understand it.
Money moves people's hearts!
More importantly, she had no intention of taking these two top-quality Ganoderma lucidum for cross-fertilization. Of course, she would sell such a good thing at a good price and buy two small ones for cross-fertilization. Therefore, the less people know about this matter
The better, she didn't even plan to tell Aunt Li Shiyi.
At dawn the next day, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling left.
Lin Mo and Yu Xiaofang gave the two of them a pheasant that had been roasted but not eaten last night for lunch. Zhao Liya and Hu Ling thanked them again and again, saying that they would treat them to dinner when they returned. Yu Xiaofang happily agreed with a smile.
The two of them had not gone far, and Yu Xiaofang smiled casually and said: "They are very lucky. What can they hide from my nose? They definitely found the best Ganoderma lucidum that is more than a hundred years old. Hey, they are so lucky!"
Lin Mo glanced at him: "The Zhao family is not familiar with us, so it is normal not to tell us. Don't say such nonsense."
Yu Xiaofang smiled and said: "I understand, I understand, so I didn't ask! It's even more impossible to tell others. Tsk, the eldest lady of the Zhao family is a shrewd person. It seems that the Gu family may not be able to win!"
Lin Mo was silent for a moment and said, "It's not easy for them either."
Yu Xiaofang taunted Qing Ku, who can have it easy? Especially people like them from Yancun. Even the Gu family is just a wild dog chasing the government. It is not even qualified as a domestic dog. It is ridiculous that they don't know it yet.
"Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it! That Miss Zhao is so powerful, scheming, and good at winning over people. She came to Zaihu Village as soon as she came. I'm looking after the Gu family and may end up in her hands. There's no need for us to take my place.
She is worried, we should hurry up and find the king of the mountain, there are three hundred taels of silver! If you make a few more fortunes like this, you can marry Sister Shuyan early, and Sister Shuyan will suffer less. That poisonous woman is really not a thing
..."
Yu Xiaofang couldn't help cursing. Sister Shuyan's aunt was just a piece of meat. Knowing that her cousin couldn't let go of Sister Shuyan, she asked for a betrothal gift of 2,000 silver, not even a penny less.
How can two thousand taels of silver be so easy to obtain?
This time, we were lucky. A wealthy businessman from out of town was willing to pay three hundred taels of silver for a intact tiger skin. Didn't he and his cousin quickly go into the mountains?
Thinking that his sweetheart was still suffering at the hands of that vicious woman, Lin Mo's heart ached and he glared at Yu Xiaofang: "Why don't you leave quickly? You're the only one who talks too much!"
He talks so much and has no ability to fight. If he didn't protect him, this kid would have been in bad luck!
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling were eager to return home, and returned home before four o'clock.
Zhao Xiang and the Deng family were extremely happy. Deng's eyes were red and she secretly wiped away tears. She held Zhao Liya's hand and talked about her heartache.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling put the backpacks in the storage room behind the kitchen, hid the large Ganoderma lucidum in the cabinet, covered it with something, and came out to talk.
"It's okay. This trip went quite smoothly. Although I only found one Ganoderma lucidum, I also found a lot of rare mushrooms. Let's not be in a hurry and rest for two days before going."
"We didn't go into the mountains. We found a safe big cave to spend the night. We didn't encounter any wild animals, really."
Hu Ling also nodded in agreement. Zhao Xiang and Deng felt a little relieved when they saw that the two of them were indeed intact. This chapter has been completed!
