Chapter 024 Return with a Full Load

"Lu family kid, have you made a fortune? Didn't you buy a lot of things last time? Why did you buy so much again?"

"Wow! I see so many bags of grain on the truck. The autumn harvest is less than two months away. Why are you buying so much grain?"

"Didn't you buy a lot of things last time? How come you still have so much money to buy these?"

"You look so handsome in this outfit. I thought you were a rich young man from the city and I didn't dare to talk to you.

The villagers kept asking so many questions that Lu Xuan was too impatient to answer them one by one. He just said, "I earned the silver by selling a ginseng I found when I went up the mountain a few days ago."

But just this one sentence was enough to cause an uproar among the villagers.

"Ginseng—!? Did you really dig up ginseng?"

Many people who had previously thought that he had nothing to gain when they saw him coming down the mountain with only a basket on his back could not help but slap their thighs.

I was careless!

Who says you have to hunt big game to make money? The most valuable medicinal herbs are the ones that are aged and found in the mountains!

No wonder Lu Xuan was away for several days this time. It was naturally not easy to sell the ginseng at a good price.

The villagers suddenly realized the truth and couldn't help but envy.

Lu Xuan is so lucky!

Wu Cheng had been a hunter for decades but had never dug up aged ginseng. He found it after only going up the mountain two or three times.

Why don’t they have this luck!

Compared with the shocking news of making money by digging ginseng, Lu Xuan's purchase of a truckload of supplies was just a trivial matter.

A good aged ginseng could fetch at least a few dozen taels, right? Maybe even a hundred!

Not to mention buying one truckload of supplies, even if you add ten or eight more truckloads, you still have to buy them!

Someone even asked Lu Xuan directly, "Lu, when are you going to build a new house? There will be a lot of free time in the village after the autumn harvest, and we can all help out then."

When anyone in the village makes money, their first reaction is to build a new house, and the Lu family is definitely no exception.

When the others thought about this, they all agreed, "We can all help then." Maybe they could even get a couple of delicious meals.

Lu Xuan waved his hand and said, "I don't have any plans for now. If there's a need later, I'll mention it to the village."

As he said this, he and the driver quickly carried all the goods on the cart into the house, settled the fare, and then closed the gate.

The villagers had a lot more to ask, but seeing that he had even closed the gate, they could only leave regretfully and gather in groups of three or four, preparing to go somewhere else to continue gossiping about Lu Xuan selling ginseng and buying a cart of supplies.

Lu family.

Lu Qing made Lu Xuan a cup of honey water and handed it to him, her brows relaxed as she said, "If you don't come back, I'm going to go look for you with your brother-in-law. Did the trip go well?"

Lu Xuan took the cup and gulped it down. He handed the empty cup to Lu Chen and asked him to make another one. Then he replied, "It went very smoothly. We sold all the ginseng and ganoderma."

Lu Qing asked curiously, "Didn't you say before that a natural disaster would happen soon and we needed to be more prepared? Why did you only buy one truckload of stuff?"

It can't be that the hundred-year-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are only enough to buy a truckload of supplies, right?

Even if she didn't understand the market for medicinal materials, she knew it was impossible.

She couldn't help but wonder, "Ah Xuan, did you finally make a lot of money and you're reluctant to spend it?"

Lu Xuan: “?”

Live audience: “?”

【What nonsense is she talking about!? 】

Who wouldn't be willing to spend money??? Does she have any misunderstandings about her brother?

[Thinking too much! The host isn't just reluctant to spend money, he doesn't know how much he's willing to spend!!!]

I'm terrified to see him spending money!

Lu Xuan also felt that Lu Qing had a huge misunderstanding of him.

"Have you forgotten how I took out the wild boar last time and put it away again? I've kept the real big stuff, these are just for the villagers to see. I've put away so much stuff that I can't even fit it all in my house."

Lu Qing suddenly realized.

These days I was so busy worrying about his safety and the natural disaster that might come soon that I forgot that he could hide things at will!

At this time, Lu Xuan took out several heavy silver ingots and silver coins from the space and piled them in a small pile on the table.

Lu Qing and Lu Chen stared with wide eyes. The latter's face flushed with excitement. "So much money! Brother made a lot of money!"

Lu Qing was surprised and said, "This must be over a hundred taels. Didn't you say that you put away all the other things you bought?" How come there is still so much silver?

Lu Xuan: "I have bought everything I need, and this is the remaining money."

Lu Qing was stunned. "So much left? How much did you earn in total?"

Lu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "About six or seven hundred taels."

The audience in the live broadcast room immediately booed.

[Anchor, you can't afford to play! ]

[If you have the guts, tell me the real number! How could you possibly lie?]

[Is this to hide some private money? They've hidden too much. Just reduce it tenfold. This anchor is dishonest!]

Lu Xuan said calmly, "I'm afraid that if I tell them the real amount, it will scare them into something bad."

The people in the village may never have seen even a hundred taels in their lives, let alone several thousand taels.

Even though he had reported one-tenth less, Lu Qing was still very frightened. He covered his chest with his hands and looked like he was about to faint.

Lu Chen's reaction was not as exaggerated as Lu Qing's, but he was also dizzy, as if he was drunk by the number he reported.

Lu Xuan poked his face in a good mood and deliberately asked, "Am I very powerful?"

Lu Chen, brought back to his senses, shouted without hesitation, "Brother is the best! I want to make a lot of money like him in the future!"

Lu Xuan nodded and said, "I have ambition." But it is impossible to surpass him. If he tries hard, he can try to reach one of his fingers.

As they were talking, Lei Yan, who was working in the fields, heard the news and rushed back early.

He was also shocked by the remaining silver and the grain and cloth in the main hall, but perhaps because he and Lu Qing had made some mental preparations in the past few days and he himself had a calm temperament, he calmed down soon.

In order to reward Lu Xuan who had been running around outside for many days, Lu Qing prepared a sumptuous meal.

Stir-fried venison with green onions, stir-fried meat with chili peppers, braised spareribs, scrambled eggs with leeks, cold spinach salad, and finally mushroom and tofu soup.

In the middle, Lu Xuan wanted to help, but was rejected by Lu Qing, who just asked him to have a good rest.

The audiences in the live broadcast room were so jealous that they thought the host was running around for no reason!

Someone prepared meals and baths for him, and although it all cost money, he definitely didn't feel tired.

He just spends money lavishly every day!

But there is one kind of tiredness that your loved ones think you are tired.

It was rare for Lu Xuan to enjoy the care from his family, so naturally he had no reason to refuse.

In the live broadcast room, I can only drool and urge people to start sharing as soon as possible.

During the meal, Lu Chen kept asking him what he had done in the past few days.

Lu Xuan could see that it wasn't just the little guy who was curious, so he briefly recounted the process of buying the various supplies, starting with selling ginseng.

He did not specify how much of each item was purchased or how much money was spent, but the three people were still amazed when they heard it, and they still looked unsatisfied until they finished speaking.

Lu Qing sighed, "You've prepared so much. Even if we really have to face a natural disaster, we don't have to be afraid."

Lu Xuan remained silent.

"Try to tidy up your things at home in the next few days. I'll put them away before the disaster happens. When the day comes, we'll go straight up the mountain."

Go up the mountain...

Lu Chen was full of curiosity about the deep mountains, and he was eager to try it out after hearing this, but Lu Qing and Lei Yan were a little hesitant.

Lu Qing hesitated and said, "Are we just two families, four people, going into the mountains? The Zhang family usually takes good care of us, and so do the village chief and other villagers..."

They were all people who had watched them grow up. Even though some of them had bullied Lu Xuan when he was a child and would gossip about him on a daily basis, none of them had truly bad intentions.

She completely disregarded them and only cared about her own family's safety...

Lu Xuan glanced at her and said, "Don't worry. Even if you didn't mention it, I was planning to tell the village chief about it tomorrow."

The reason why he didn't tell them before leaving was that he was worried that the news was too scary, and the village chief and villagers would be overly frightened and do extreme things to hurt the Lu family.

Although the possibility is small, it is still necessary to take precautions in advance.

Otherwise, it would be funny if he prepared a lot of supplies but the Lu family got into trouble before the disaster.

Lu Xuan said, "I will tell the villagers about the disaster. Whether they believe it or not, and whether they want to go into the mountains with us or not, is up to them. But I will definitely take you up the mountain with me."

As for the villagers finding out too late and not having enough time to prepare, there is no need to worry about that.

He needed more time because he had a lot of supplies to buy, but other people in the village didn't have the means. Those who were willing to trust him could just go to Baisong Town and buy some food.

Lu Qing and Lei Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Throughout history, people have often gone into the mountains to escape natural disasters and man-made disasters, and they are not averse to going into the mountains themselves.

As long as you can survive, there is no place you can't go. Going into the mountains is always better than leaving your hometown. It is better to die in a foreign land one day.

at night.

After Lu Xuan finished today's live broadcast, he opened the backstage.

The data increase during the past few days of stockpiling in the capital city was not as great as when entering the mountains, but the vampire vine still gained a lot of fans when it showed its power again.

The number of people online has now reached more than 700,000, and there are over 200,000 fans.

Both of them were still quite far away from obtaining the next achievement reward, so he only took a quick look to get an idea and then turned his attention to the gift harvest.

In the past few days, he received an average of 40,000 to 50,000 star coins in gifts every day. When the vampire vine appeared, the number soared to over 100,000. Lu Xuan had already exchanged the gifts from the previous few days, and this time he only exchanged the part he received on the return journey.

[Current total points: 48570.]

So many points are enough for him to buy another space of 1,000 cubic meters.

However, the space he currently has is not full, so it seems unnecessary to buy a larger space.

He opened the mall and turned to the page selling space equipment. After a little thought, he bought an inlaid bracelet for only 1,000 points.
