Just as Zhou Yu heard the little kid mumbling, the groundhogs that had dug out the Cordyceps ran forward again.

Just like before, every time these little guys ran a few steps, they would turn back and chirp a few times.

The look on his face clearly indicated that he was urging everyone to hurry up and follow.

Hearing the noise, the herdsman tour guide, who was originally kneeling on the ground and muttering to himself, quickly got up excitedly.

He quickly distributed the boxes in his pocket to everyone, saying excitedly, "This is a gift from the Mosca elves. Please keep it carefully. Yes, that's it. Don't worry, be careful not to damage the Cordyceps..."

Seeing that the herder tour guide had no intention of keeping the Cordyceps for himself, the little kid breathed a sigh of relief.

Ignoring the worried look of the herdsman guide, he took a small box and started collecting the things with his little butt sticking out.

Zhou Yu was also happy with the excuses the pastoralist tour guide gave himself.

Otherwise, it would take him a long time to explain why these groundhogs are so smart.

Because of the groundhog's urging, everyone moved quickly.

As for whether it will damage the Cordyceps, you don’t have to worry about it at all.

Tibetans carefully preserve Cordyceps, mainly for the purpose of selling it at a good price.

For Zhou Yu and others, even if they collected a lot of Cordyceps, they would not sell it, so they naturally did not care about the quality of the Cordyceps.

After all, even if there is damage, it will basically not affect the efficacy.

I don’t know if it was the groundhog’s treasure-hunting ability that was triggered, or if there were really a lot of Cordyceps on this hillside, but with the help of a group of groundhogs, just bending down to pick them up made everyone feel busy.

However, this busyness was different from the previous one of lying on the ground looking for Cordyceps.

Staring at the land and searching makes one feel tired and anxious.

After all, no one knows whether they can find a Cordyceps sinensis after all the effort.

This kind of busyness now can be said to be a happy and satisfying busyness.

With the help of groundhogs, not only the most difficult search is saved, but even the digging step is saved.

All we need to do is keep up with the pace of the groundhogs to harvest Cordyceps sinensis continuously.

Of course, harvesting cordyceps this way may lack some soul, but who cares?

Now everyone not only has the joy of harvest, but also the happiness of groundhogs participating. Even the little fat boy Li Tai put away his oxygen tank, stuck his butt out and started digging the soil with great effort.

Everyone followed this group of groundhogs for a full hour before the little guys slowed down.

After digging the last depression, the groundhogs stopped and surrounded Zhou Yu and others.

Chirp~Chirp~

The leading groundhog was again in charge of the negotiations.

Although no one could understand what they were saying, judging from their behavior, they seemed to be telling everyone that they had dug up all the Cordyceps they knew about.

Zhou Yu was naturally not stingy with this group of groundhogs who came to help voluntarily. Not only did he distribute all the snacks to them, he also let these little guys eat enough of the beef jerky that was very chewy.

Not only that, when these groundhogs were about to leave, the little milk ball stuffed a lot of food into their mouths.

Although the amount brought back was not much, it was still a token of the little girl's thoughtfulness.

Anyway, on the way back, I will pass by the groundhogs' nests, so I can feed them more then.

It wasn't until the group of groundhogs disappeared down the hillside that the fat boy Li Tai, who was rubbing his waist, muttered quietly, "These little guys are so fat from eating so much. I wonder how they taste."

Hearing the little fat man muttering, Zhou Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "How does it taste? Of course it tastes very painful."

"Really? How about we chase it and catch one? Such a fat little creature, it will definitely sizzle when roasted."

Hearing Zhou Yu's answer, the little fat boy Li Tai's eyes suddenly lit up.

But just as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head.

Turning around, I saw Li Er with a look of disgust on his face. "Still sizzling? I think you'd sizzle just as much if I grilled you. Do you know what protected animals are? Protected animals are animals protected by law. If you dare to eat them, be prepared to be thrown in jail."

Li Tai: ???

How can a small animal be protected by the law?

The little fat boy couldn't understand why animals were more valuable than humans.

Of course, although he couldn't figure it out, he didn't dare ask in front of the pastoral tour guide.

He had been in modern times for a short time and knew that there were many things he didn't understand.

In order to avoid being discovered by the pastoral tour guide, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.

The conversation between this funny father and son did not attract the attention of the pastoral tour guide.

On the one hand, the herder tour guide was still excited about harvesting a large amount of Cordyceps sinensis. On the other hand, it was not surprising that a young boy did not know what protected animals were.

And this idea is not only held by Zhou Yu and others.

When I led tours before, many tourists would say similar things.

If it's just a joke, he will usually ignore it or just laugh it off.

But if the other party really wants to take action, he will definitely stop it.

Putting aside the question of whether groundhogs are protected animals, they are just Mosca elves and should not be hunted easily.

After following the groundhog for most of the day, everyone was hungry and thirsty.

Although the beef jerky is still very chewy, no one cares about anything else at this moment.

He stuffed the torn beef jerky into his mouth, chewed it for a few times, then took a few sips of water and swallowed it whole.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they rested for a while before starting to sort out the Cordyceps.

Since the boxes they brought had been used up long ago, all the Cordyceps dug out by the groundhogs were stuffed into the backpack.

The nomadic tour guide felt so distressed when he saw their casual attitude.

Now that he finally had time to sort things out, he naturally started to get busy.

He first put a layer of moss in the backpack and then placed the Cordyceps on it.

After paving one layer, continue to the next layer.

Whenever he saw damaged Cordyceps, he would sigh and lament.

As for Zhou Yu and others, they all looked towards the distant mountains in the west.

Now the sun is setting, and the orange-red sunset hangs on the peaks of distant mountains.

Under the setting sun, the clouds in the sky turned into colorful ones.

After the herder had packed his backpack of Cordyceps, he reminded everyone, "It's getting late. Should we go back now or stay up in the mountains for the night? If we stay, I'll find a campsite so we can set up our tents before it gets dark."
