Chapter 35 New Discoveries

Chen Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief. Talking about money, this matter was actually easier to deal with, "Second Master, let's settle this matter. Later, you can get a land deed, which needs to be signed and pledged."

"There's no need to look back, I'll take care of this now. There are about two acres of land there, and you can give me ten cents a year."

"Okay, Second Master, just give me twenty years for the farming period." Chen Xiaobei said with a smile.

After hearing this, the head of the village, Chen Anbang, immediately felt happy.

For twenty years, I get ten copper coins for free every year. This is a good deal.

When Chen Xiaobei came back with the copper coins from home, the paperwork was completed.

After handing over the money with one hand and the documents with the other, Chen Xiaobei returned home satisfied.

Watching Chen Xiaobei leave, Chen Anbang's wife next to him finally spoke.

"Old man, that place turns into a pond when it rains, making it impossible to farm. Aren't you trying to trick people?"

Chen Anbang laughed, "A person who can't even tell the difference between crops and grass will be cheated."

"By the way, these are the dowries brought by Cui Hongyu, and they will all be ours in the future."

His wife looked at him in confusion, "Well, how come this is still ours..."

Chen Anbang also realized that he had said too much, and pretended to smile lightly, "You don't need to hand these over to the county, they are ours."

This explanation seems to be rounded off.

Seeing that his wife did not continue to ask questions, Chen Anbang threw the three big guys on the table and said, "Go back and get some meat to eat."

Chen Xiaobei returned home and gave Cui Hongyu the written land deed document and asked her to keep it.

Cui Hongyu was dumbfounded again, "Husband, you'd better take such an important thing by yourself!"

Chen Xiaobei's answer was still domineering, "I will give it to you as I say. From now on, the work will be mine, and the safekeeping will be yours."

Okay. Cui Hongyu said no more, but suddenly felt that he seemed to like this domineering feeling, and he liked this unreasonable feeling.

"Husband, you rest first, I'll go back and pour the vegetables."

After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei realized that he seemed to have neglected the vegetable field in the past two days.

You still need an iron pot to pour vegetables.

It seems it's time to get two wooden barrels, which is a big expense.

So I had to go into the mountains to try my luck and see if I could get two ginseng.

At this moment, the second aunt Xiumei came unexpectedly. When she saw Chen Xiaobei, she was very anxious.

"Xiaobei, I just heard that you want to plant the lowland outside the village."

Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Yes, this is not enough for the family. There is not enough food to eat."

The second aunt stamped her feet anxiously, "That place can raise fish even if there is a heavy rain, and nothing will grow."

Chen Xiaobei was very indifferent, "Isn't that just right? I'll just use it to raise fish."

"You." The second aunt sighed helplessly and looked at Chen Xiaobei with a caring look.

"By the way, Dachun asked me to tell you that you may have to find someone else to repair the house. He may not be able to get out of bed for a while."

Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Second Aunt, I understand, let's talk about this later."

The second aunt said a few more polite words and left, but Chen Xiaobei suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Yesterday I went to see him. Dachun's wound was still a little red and swollen, but after talking to myself, he was already very conscious. How could he still be unable to get out of bed for so many days?

What he didn't know was that at this time, Dachun's family was already beginning to think about a better future. The family was planning to buy a big house in the county and live the life of a rich man they longed for.

After all, this one thousand taels of silver may be money that they will never earn in their lifetime.

At this time, Chen Xiaobei was still running for life.

This time he went into the mountains and made full preparations. First, he wanted to look for ginseng, and secondly, he wanted to collect some Houttuynia cordata.

When we arrived at Shanshen Temple, we seemed to be on a familiar road, but after searching around Shanshen Temple, we found nothing.

Chen Xiaobei gritted his teeth and continued walking up.

If you can go up there in the spring, why can’t you go there yourself?

Going up the mountain temple, the road becomes rugged and difficult to walk. In some places, you have to use your hands and feet to climb up.

As he walked, Chen Xiaobei felt that something was wrong.

Yes, there are a lot of traces of gravel being trampled on the road.

And it also looks like the weeds have been stepped on by many people.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Dachun to make so many traces on his own.

So there are other people going up the mountain and more than one.

There are few weeds on the way down from the mountain temple, but these places can be seen very clearly.

After walking five or six miles in one go, there was a large dense forest ahead and on the right hand side.

There is a seemingly inconspicuous path leading to the dense forest, with steep cliffs on one side and cliffs going straight up and down on the other.

Going through it really tests one's courage.

But for Chen Xiaobei, who grew up in a rural area, he still has some courage.

But when he came over, he felt a little discouraged. There were many plants in the dense forest, but there was nothing he wanted. They were all common weeds at the foot of the mountain.

Just when he was about to give up, he felt a faint scent coming from him.

The scent came from deep in the forest, and he was sure it was the scent of a plant.

Chen Xiaobei continued to follow the smell, and as he walked further in, he felt a little strange.

There are fewer trees as you go further in, and gradually there are no more weeds on the ground, with only a few tall trees.

Walking further inside, there are several more boulders lying in front of you, with only a small opening in the middle.

This small opening is only about one foot wide and several feet deep. Through this, you can easily see the situation on the other side.

The place is lush and green, with all kinds of low plants and no big trees.

It's so strange, there are trees here and grass there.

Chen Xiaobei once again broke off a section of a branch, patted the weeds on the roadside, and walked in.

Chen Xiaobei was shocked by what he saw when he walked inside.

As soon as I walked in, there were two ginseng in the weeds nearby. The red marks were really easy to recognize, and they looked very old.

Darling, is this a meeting gift for yourself? Chen Xiaobei became excited.

After walking another half mile, Chen Xiaobei saw something that made him even more excited.

Ganoderma lucidum.

When he was a child, several families in the village once wanted to plant this kind of thing. He also visited the plantation with the adults, so Chen Xiaobei still had some impressions.

The Ganoderma lucidum here is not just a few, but just one piece. It looks like there must be dozens or hundreds of them.

Guaiguai really found the treasure.

Chen Xiaobei picked the two largest ones.

Two ginseng and two Ganoderma lucidum make today’s trip worthwhile.

At this moment, an inexplicable gust of wind blew up, and then a dark cloud drifted over, and the darkness instantly blocked the sun.

When Chen Xiaobei saw that the secret passage was not good, he turned around and ran away.

Sure enough, before he could run to the woods, the rain had already started falling.

Fortunately, okay, Chen Xiaobei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't go too deep.

Well, since God doesn't like it, just go back and pick Houttuynia cordata.
