Old Yuantou put on his new clothes, turned around, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "It fits me perfectly! Chen Changyuan, thank you!"
The two chatted about family matters for a while before Chen Changyuan stood up and said goodbye.
When he got home, Chen Changyuan took out the roast duck and new shoes he had bought during his trip to the city.
When Fang Suxia saw these things, an expression of surprise appeared on her face.
"Chen Changyuan, where did you get the money to buy these things?"
Chen Changyuan smiled and said, "Mom, I made a good deal when I went to the city this time and made some money."
Chen Changyuan returned home and took out the roast duck and new shoes.
Oh my god!
Fang Suxia was shocked!
"Son! Where did this money come from?!"
Chen Changyuan chuckled: "Mom, I went to the city to do business and made some money!"
He handed over the roast duck: "I bought it for you, try it!"
Fang Suxia took the roast duck, feeling happy but also a little nervous.
This kid has been working so hard, but he must not go astray!
"Chen Changyuan, we have to make money the right way! We can't do anything illegal!"
Chen Changyuan held his mother's hand and said, "Don't worry, Mom! I earn all the money cleanly! From now on, we will live a good life!"
Fang Suxia felt warm in her heart.
He tore off a piece of roast duck and handed it to Chen Changyuan: "Come, you eat too!"
The mother and daughter ate roast duck and chatted about family matters. The house was very warm.
After dinner, Chen Changyuan took out a new pair of shoes: "Mom! I bought these for you, try them on!"
Fang Suxia took the shoes, her eyes a little moist.
How long has it been since you wore new shoes?
She had forgotten everything.
"Chen Changyuan, my feet are deformed, why should I wear new shoes? You keep them!"
"Hey! Mom! Don't be so polite with me! I'll put it on for you!"
As Chen Changyuan spoke, he squatted down and gently put the shoes on his mother.
Fang Suxia's feet are rough and deformed due to years of working.
Chen Changyuan was extremely careful, fearing that he might hurt her.
"How is it? Is it suitable?"
Just move your feet and the shoes will fit you perfectly!
"That's perfect! Chen Changyuan, thank you!"
"Mom, as long as you like it!"
Seeing his mother happy, Chen Changyuan felt warm in his heart.
Early the next morning, Chen Changyuan went to Lao Yuantou's house.
"Uncle Yuan, I want to go to Beishan to pick some medicinal herbs."
The words are straightforward.
Old Yuan was tending to his precious herbs. When he heard this, he looked up and squinted at Chen Changyuan.
"Beishan? That place isn't peaceful! I heard there are a lot of wild boars and wolves lately!"
"I know, that's why I came to discuss it with you."
Chen Changyuan smiled and said, "I heard that there are golden thread grass and flame dragon fruit on the North Mountain. They are very precious. I want to try my luck."
Golden thread grass?
Flame Dragon Fruit?
When Lao Yuantou heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
This is a treasure!
If you can pick it, you will become rich!
"You're quite well-informed, kid! These two things are indeed valuable, but Beishan is not easy to walk on. It's too risky for you to go alone!"
"Uncle Yuan, you have enough experience, why don't you join us?"
Chen Changyuan asked tentatively.
The old man stroked his beard and thought for a moment, "Alright, I'm free anyway. But I have to prepare well, Beishan is no joke!"
The two agreed to set off tomorrow morning and began to prepare tools and dry food.
Chen Changyuan bought a strong rope, a sharp hatchet, and also brought insect repellent and wound medicine.
Lao Yuantou took out the map and compass he had treasured for many years and carefully explained the terrain and dangers of Beishan.
Fearing that Beishan was too complicated and something might happen to him alone, Chen Changyuan found several strong villagers who were familiar with the mountain roads.
"Uncle Zhuzi, Brother Ergou, and Sanwazi, I'm going to Beishan to collect herbs tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?"
Chen Changyuan asked one by one.
Uncle Zhuzi is an old hunter with rich experience, but he is very cautious. "Chen Changyuan, Beishan is a strange place. It has been uneasy recently. You'd better not go there."
Er Gou and San Wa were quite happy. "Go! Chen Changyuan, don't worry! We have nothing but great strength! We can definitely help you!"
Finally, Chen Changyuan selected four experienced villagers and promised to give them a lot of money.
When the villagers heard that there was money to be made, they were very excited and were all ready to try.
The night before departure, Chen Changyuan carefully studied the topographic map of Beishan and asked Lao Yuantou about the habits and identification methods of golden thread grass and dragon fruit.
Lao Yuantou is very experienced and explained to Chen Changyuan in detail the characteristics of the two medicinal herbs, as well as the dangers and countermeasures that may be encountered in the mountains.
"Golden Thread Grass has long, slender leaves with golden threads along the edges. It usually grows in dark, damp places. Flame Dragon Fruit has a fiery red fruit with dragon-scale-like patterns on the surface. It often grows on cliffs. Both of these medicinal herbs are extremely valuable, but you must be extremely careful when picking them to avoid being pricked by their poisonous stings."
Old Yuantou gestured as he spoke.
Chen Changyuan listened carefully to Lao Yuantou's advice and kept the knowledge in mind, making full preparations for the trip into the mountains the next day.
He lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
As soon as the sun rose, Chen Changyuan and his team set off.
Beishan, like a sleeping monster!
The mountain road is difficult to walk on and there are weeds everywhere.
The old man was very experienced and led everyone to avoid wild boar nests and snake caves, and also collected some medicinal herbs.
After walking for several hours, we arrived at a valley.
It's cold, damp, and has a rotten smell, it's so unpleasant!
"Maybe there's golden thread grass here."
The old man pointed at the bushes.
Everyone, look carefully and push aside the leaves, hey!
