Chapter 66 Excitement, Trembling Hands

If I'm not mistaken, this should be Ganoderma lucidum!

But have you ever seen a Ganoderma lucidum the size of a pot lid?

Lingzhi mushrooms are actually quite common in the mountains and forests, since they are all mushrooms and grow every year!

However, not many Ganoderma lucidum can be harvested in time after it matures.

Therefore, the price is still quite high, but it's impossible to find the thousand-year-old or ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum mentioned in storybooks.

However, a few types of Ganoderma lucidum may take a little longer to mature, but most are annuals.

But the Ganoderma lucidum in Xiao Su Bao's hand was as big as Xiao Su Bao's head, and its purplish-red color was exceptionally beautiful.

At that moment, the little dumpling curiously placed the mushroom cap, which looked like a small umbrella, on its head.

Tang Qi...

Well, you can't very well disturb a child's fun.

However, such a large Ganoderma lucidum could probably fetch a good price if sold!

However, never mind, I'll leave this for Xiao Su Bao's dowry!

Their little Su Bao is so special, her dowry must be as much as possible, and the more valuable the better.

Thinking this to himself, Tang Qi said, "This is called Lingzhi, a precious medicinal herb. Let's put it in the basket and when we get back, your second brother will process it for you as part of your dowry!"

Little Su Bao tilted her head, looking rather adorable.

dowry?

My mother said she was keeping it for my dowry, but all my things were taken away by my older brothers and sisters, who said they were keeping them for me!

"Brother, are you going to save this for Little Su Bao?" the little dumpling asked curiously.

Tang Qi was taken aback, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head seriously and said, "Definitely not. Mother keeps all the family's valuables. But don't worry, your second brother will definitely prepare a lot of dowry for you in the future!"

Little Su Bao nodded, revealing a sweet smile.

She saw a lot of dust-like stuff on the ground, and a huge wooden stake next to it.

The wooden stake was very pretty, and Xiao Su Bao's eyes lit up: "Second brother, can we take this home?"

Little Su Bao raised her head and looked at Tang Qi curiously, asking him a question.

Tang Qi looked at the small wooden stump, smiled, and did not refuse.

"Fine, take it back if you want!" It's just a wooden stump, I can take it with me!

Tang Qi glanced at the sky and thought it was still early.

He set several traps today; I wonder if there will be any prey...

"Su Bao, stay here and play with Da Bao and the others. Second brother, go check the traps!" Tang Qi put Su Bao down on the ground and was about to leave.

Little Su Bao was a little curious, and she wanted to go along!

But after thinking about it, I held back and just sat obediently on the rock.

Tang Qi had already left, but for some inexplicable reason, he turned back and saw the little dumpling looking so pitiful, as if it had been abandoned. His heart softened instantly!

It's just watching a trap; I'm not a professional hunter.

We're not going to any remote areas, so what's there to be afraid of with a child?

"Su Bao, would you like to come with your second brother to see what's in the trap?" Tang Qi turned back, knelt on one knee, and asked Su Bao at eye level.

He gently held Xiao Su Bao's hand, a tender smile in his eyes.

He showed tenderness to Xiao Su Bao, one of the few times he did so.

Ever since he heard that Xiao Su Bao was covered in scars, he decided that he must be good to Xiao Su Bao.

How could anyone be so cruel to such an adorable little dumpling?

Little Su Bao was a little cautious and wanted to nod, but in the end, her eyes dimmed.

Ah, her!

Children without parents must be good!

That way, you won't be abandoned!

The Tang family treated her well, and she reciprocated by doing her best to treat them well in return.

Tang Qi pursed his lips, then suddenly reached out and hugged the little dumpling into his arms.

"Come on, your second brother will take you to see the prey!" Tang Qi said with a smile, his voice full of affection.

Little Su Bao was so frightened that she quickly hugged Tang Qi's neck, only to realize that Tang Qi was actually not walking very fast.

Seeing that Xiao Su Bao had relaxed, Tang Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, daughters make people soft-hearted!

Daughters bring joy!

Tang Sanbao, who was not far away, glanced at his good-for-nothing father and shook his head slightly.

"Sanbao, aren't you jealous that your aunt stole your dad?" a little boy said with a hint of schadenfreude as he approached.

Children sometimes don't realize that what they say can actually hurt others.

They thought they were joking, but they didn't realize they were making others unhappy.

But Tang Sanbao is different...

His mother is quite the beauty!

His father is Tang Qi!

"I'm so jealous! I'm jealous that I'm so small and can't hug my aunt!"

"Sigh, I got taken advantage of by an old man!" Tang Sanbao looked at his father's back with some frustration, his eyes full of envy.

When will it be natural for him to pick up his aunt?

These words nearly made the boy next to him drop his jaw in astonishment.

"Do you have an aunt?" Tang Sanbao suddenly turned his head and asked the little boy.

The little boy nodded subconsciously.

Tang Sanbao snorted and then continued to ask, "Is your aunt pretty? Can your aunt catch a lot of loaches? Can your aunt dig up a lot of horse hooves? Can your aunt kill an earth dragon? Can your aunt... be hugged by your father?"

It was springtime, but the little boy was sweating profusely.

He shook his head repeatedly, feeling as if three or four Tang Sanbaos were appearing before his eyes.

Then Tang Sanbao continued, "Can your aunt be as soft, cute, and sweet-smelling as our aunt...?"

The little boy thought of his aunt and immediately shook his head!

Are you kidding me? My aunt is a shrew, you know...

I feel like hitting myself all the time...

He suddenly cried...

How frustrating!

He also wants a new aunt...

So the little boy ran back to find his mother.

"Grandma, I also want an auntie as cute as Su Bao..."

The little boy's grandmother, who was over fifty years old, turned from loving to sullen upon hearing her grandson's words.

Then I took off my shoe, picked it up, and started whipping his butt!

These are things for another time, of course.

At this moment, Xiao Su Bao was being carried by Tang Qi to the first trap that Tang Qi had set up.

This trap is a small hunting trap, made by inserting sharpened bamboo strips one by one into the ground to form a circle.

Then they secured it with ropes on the outside and attached a stone.

Once an animal falls in, it will get stuck and won't be able to get out.

Tang Qi was very skillful; if it weren't for the red cloth strip marking the spot, most people wouldn't have noticed it even if they walked by.

But now things are different; the trap that was originally covered by fallen leaves and grass has collapsed.

Could it be prey?

Tang Qi immediately perked up.

He's been hunting for three years now...

But there's not a single hair!

My heart is pounding with excitement, and my hands are trembling!

Tang Qi inexplicably felt like he was doing well again!

However, this has happened before. It seems like something has fallen in, but when you go to look for it, it turns out that your trap has inexplicably broken its string, and the prey has escaped.

Will he be able to catch his prey again this time?
