"So that's how it is..."

Zhu Haiming saw Lu Fangfang dig out the cordyceps and immediately understood.

She waved behind her and called Yang Yufeng over.

She whispered a few words into Yang Yufeng's ear. Just then, Lu Fangfang found another black bud and quickly told Yang Yufeng to take a closer look.

"Hey, I thought it would be much harder. Don't worry, leave it to me."

Yang Yufeng patted her chest, full of confidence.

She took two steps forward, squatted down, and began searching.

"Hey? Yang Yufeng, are you doing this on purpose? Why do you have to stand in front of me in such a big place?"

Lu Fangfang looked up and saw Yang Yufeng's big buttocks.

She really wanted to unleash Little Flower and have it bite this shameless bastard to death.

Forehead……

Yang Yufeng glanced back, then pursed her lips and changed direction.

Zhu Haiming took a few steps forward, found a spot, and squatted down to search as well.

The two disliked Lu Fangfang's unsightly posture while lying on the ground, so they simply squatted down and started looking for Hei Yazi from top to bottom.

After a long while, seeing that Lu Fangfang had dug up several cordyceps while she herself had not yet harvested any, Zhu Haiming became anxious.

"Sister-in-law Yufeng, have you found anything yet?"

"Not yet, just wait a little longer, it'll be here soon, it'll be here soon, we'll find it in a bit."

Yang Yufeng squatted in the haystack, looking around anxiously.

"It would be strange if we could find it."

Lu Fangfang muttered to herself, and she couldn't help but laugh when she looked at the two of them.

The part of the cordyceps exposed on the ground is at most one centimeter long, and it is easy to miss if you don't look at it from the side. If the two of them searched like this, they could only find one out of ten cordyceps.

"Um?"

Noticing that the little flower in her arms was moving again, she quickly rubbed it twice.

She looked at the two people in front of her with disdain.

She slowly stood up, holding Xiaohua in her arms, and turned to go somewhere else.

The snow-capped mountain is so vast; she can't afford to waste time with the two of them.

After walking back more than a hundred meters, Lu Fangfang found a place where she hadn't searched for cordyceps yet, and then took out the little flower from her arms.

The little snow leopard had rested enough. It stood on the hay, shook its head, and then started looking for cordyceps for Lu Fangfang.

With Xiaohua's help, her search for cordyceps immediately became much faster.

...

"Oh no, I can't take it anymore, I need to rest."

Yang Yufeng found a haystack and plopped down on it.

Zhu Haiming frowned and strode over.

Looking at Yang Yufeng sitting on the ground, she asked irritably, "How much did you dig up?"

"That's all."

Yang Yufeng opened her hands, revealing five cordyceps.

She searched for over an hour, her eyes were blurry, before finally finding these few. These things were truly unbelievable; she almost regretted coming.

Zhu Haiming suppressed her disgust and reached out to take it.

She took a five-cent coin out of her pocket and placed it in Yang Yufeng's hand.

"Just five cents?"

"Don't want it? Give it back to me, here's the cordyceps."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Yang Yufeng quickly stuffed it into her pocket; five cents is still money.

"Wait a minute, how come Lu Fangfang dug up so many? We didn't slack off either, so how come we only dug up these few?"

Zhu Haiming looked around and realized that Lu Fangfang was no longer there.

"Comrade Hai Mei, is it because there are few cordyceps in this place? Oh dear, we must have been tricked by that guy surnamed Lu."

Zhu Haiming narrowed her eyes; she had the same feeling.

She looked around and noticed that Lu Fangfang had gone to the back. She called out to her, and the two of them quickly walked over.

Why do you all keep coming here?

When Lu Fangfang saw the two of them coming over, she quickly picked up Xiaohua.

Zhu Haiming didn't speak. She glanced at Lu Fangfang's cloth bag and was immediately shocked.

They worked for an hour and only found five or six cordyceps, while Lu Fangfang found at least fifty or sixty. It would be strange if there wasn't something fishy going on.

She gave Yang Yufeng a look, and the two of them immediately squatted down and started searching.

"That's really crazy."

Lu Fangfang frowned, looking at the two of them speechlessly.

She was almost done searching this place. If she walked any further, she would reach the place she and Sister Shufen had searched before. Those two were really crazy.

Too lazy to remind her, she picked up Xiaohua and went back to the place where she had been looking for cordyceps.

"Hey, Hai Mei, look, why did Lu Fangfang go back again?"

Yang Yufeng scratched her head, somewhat bewildered. Had she misunderstood someone?

"Ignore her, don't move, just keep looking here."

As they were talking, Zhu Haiming was overjoyed. She had finally found a cordyceps in the grass ahead, which further solidified her idea.

Then, half an hour passed...

An hour has passed...

Having gained nothing, the two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Haimei?"

"Impossible. Lu Fangfang had so many cordyceps in her bag, all dug up from here. It's impossible that we can't find them. Let's keep looking, keep looking."

Yang Yufeng looked unhappy, but seeing Zhu Haiming's insistence, she had no choice but to start looking again.

...

On the distant hillside, Wang Shufen and Lu Fangfang were already eating lunch.

Holding a pancake, Wang Shufen looked at the two people in the distance and asked curiously, "Hey girl, what are those two doing? We've already searched that area, haven't we? Why are they still looking there? Didn't you tell them?"

"Sister Shufen, these two are so smart. I told them, but they didn't believe me. So let them find it themselves."

Lu Fangfang pursed her lips, not wanting to deal with these two idiots.

She ruffled Xiaohua's hair and quickly started eating.

By now, Gao Dajiang should have taken her cordyceps to the city; I wonder how much she'll sell it for.

She estimated that there were at least two kilograms of cordyceps, which should be enough for a third of the price of a bicycle. Just thinking about it made her feel excited.

...

"No, no, I can't take it anymore, I quit."

Yang Yufeng searched for a while longer, then plopped down on the ground and started acting like a rogue.

Seeing Zhu Haiming looking at her, she immediately muttered, "I'm quitting, I'm quitting. I've been busy all morning, I'm exhausted, and I only earned five cents. I'm quitting."

Zhu Haiming's face was dark, and her chest heaved.

She was on the verge of a breakdown. Apart from the cordyceps she found at the beginning, she hadn't seen any more cordyceps since.

It's really strange. They can't find any of the people surnamed Lu. Could it be a ghost?

Looking back, Zhu Haiming suddenly realized that digging for caterpillar fungus was unreliable.

There are plenty of people digging for caterpillar fungus at the foot of the Qilian Mountains. If Lu Fangfang and Wang Shufen won't sell it to her, she can just find someone else. Why bother digging it herself?

Zhu Haiming suddenly understood.

After she decided to go back, she inquired among the Tibetans in the area and went directly to collect their offerings.

She glanced at Yang Yufeng on the ground, said nothing, and walked directly down the mountain.

"Hey? Hey? Hai Mei? Hai Mei? Don't leave me behind!"

Yang Yufeng was taken aback, then immediately chased after him.
