"This doesn't seem like the direction to a groundhog's nest."
Just when Zhou Yu was puzzled, the herdsman tour guide had already caught up quickly.
Hearing his reminder, Li Er and others hurriedly stopped.
Even Zhou Yu turned around and asked, "Is there any danger in this direction?"
"There's no danger, but I feel like there's something a little off about these groundhogs. It's like... like they've suddenly become smarter."
The herder guide quickly waved his hands to deny it, but his eyes were full of curiosity when he looked at the group of marmots.
Although tourists occasionally feed marmots, most of the time the marmots will leave after eating and drinking their fill and will not be very close to people.
But the group of groundhogs in front of them were not only defenseless against everyone, but also took the initiative to come over.
If he was not familiar with the habits of groundhogs, he would have suspected that these were a group of trained little guys.
When Zhou Yu heard the herder tour guide say that marmots had suddenly become smart, he was obviously stunned.
Thinking back to the little animals he had encountered before, he suddenly realized that things were not that simple.
Just as he was frowning in thought, Li Er beside him had already spoken loudly, "No matter whether he is smart or stupid, following these little guys is more interesting than crawling on the ground looking for Cordyceps."
Hearing what Lao Deng said, Zhou Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was definitely busy with affairs of state.
As early as when he turned back from Lhasa, he suggested that Li Er go back first.
Originally, Lao Deng had agreed, but after learning that the little girl was coming to dig Cordyceps, Li Er, who was originally planning to go back to handle state affairs, continued to stay.
Fortunately, there was the pregnant Empress Zhangsun in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise if the father and son disappeared together, who knows what kind of chaos would happen in the court!
But then again, what Lao Deng said is not wrong.
No matter whether he is smart or stupid, since these little guys come to find me, I will just follow them.
Not only that, he also began to feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart.
You know, most of the smart little animals we met before brought us a lot of benefits.
Especially the group of big turtles, they contributed a lot of gold coins.
Everyone followed the groundhog forward and soon they were sweating.
Especially the little kid who ran the fastest, was now hanging on Zhou Yu.
As for the little fat boy Li Tai, he was so tired that he was out of breath.
The little fat man took out the oxygen bottle and inhaled it, saying weakly, "What do you think? Could it be that we are mistaken? Maybe these little guys are just trying to tease us?"
"Impossible! These are all Mosca's elves. They keep looking back like this, obviously they want to take us somewhere."
As soon as the fat boy Li Tai finished speaking, the herdsman tour guide shook his head to express his denial.
Although this was the first time he encountered such a situation, he still understood what the groundhog wanted to express.
As a Tibetan, he has awe for nature.
Now that these groundhogs have come to my door, I have to follow them and take a look no matter what.
If a groundhog is really injured, it is natural to provide rescue.
What the nomadic tour guide didn’t expect was that he would follow for more than half an hour.
Seeing that they had already walked from one hilltop to another, even Zhou Yu couldn't help but prepare to give up.
Just as he was about to ask everyone to stop, the groundhog, which was about to look back at them after walking a distance, suddenly ran forward quickly.
Seeing this, Li Er, who was also sweating profusely while holding Li Shu, couldn't help but exclaimed, "Hey... hey... hey... no, they... why did they run away like that?"
"Haha, I told you they were just teasing us~"
The little fat boy Li Tai continued to complain while breathing oxygen.
But just as he finished speaking, he froze on the spot.
Because those groundhogs that ran forward didn't run very far at all. They all scattered and started digging the ground hard.
Every few times they dug, they would chirp at them.
It looked like he was urging everyone to hurry over.
Faced with such a situation, everyone had no hesitation at all and all trotted after him.
As soon as they got close, everyone was stunned.
"I... am I hallucinating because of lack of oxygen?"
Li Tai was holding an oxygen tank, his face full of dullness.
At this moment, he even wondered if he had the altitude sickness that Zhou Yu mentioned.
What about a groundhog coming to the door, a groundhog leading the way, and a groundhog helping to dig Cordyceps? All of these were hallucinations after I fell into a coma.
In fact, not only Li Tai, but even the pastoralist tour guide was also stunned.
He had seen tourists feeding marmots and had also seen marmots interact with humans in simple ways, but this was the first time he had seen a marmot take the initiative to come to his door to help dig Cordyceps.
The most important thing is that even though Cordyceps is so scarce today, this group of groundhogs are like they have turned on radar and they can find the right one every time they dig.
If he wasn't a local and in good physical condition, he would have suspected that he was hallucinating.
However, Li Er, the little princess and others were not too surprised.
After all, they have even seen turtles holding gold coins in their mouths to ask for help in scraping barnacles, so it is no small matter for groundhogs to help dig Cordyceps.
Besides, Mr. Zhou helped rescue the two groundhogs, so it’s reasonable for them to repay him!
Just when everyone was thinking different things, the pastoral tour guide came to his senses and became anxious again.
The quality of Cordyceps is also a big plus.
If these groundhogs are allowed to dig, they will probably destroy everything.
When the pastoral tour guide thought of this, he immediately wanted to step forward to stop it.
But he had just taken two steps forward when he was stunned again.
Because as far as he could see, the Cordyceps thrown out by the groundhogs were all intact, not even a single one was broken.
Even a local like him would praise the craftsmanship when seeing such a completeness.
After taking another look at the marmot still digging the soil, the herder tour guide actually knelt down on the ground.
At the same time, he began to mutter words that no one could understand.
Seeing this, the little boy quickly leaned over to Zhou Yu's ear and said nervously, "Little Nianjun, he's not going to let us take these Cordyceps, is he?"
Zhou Yu: ...
This... seems hard to say.
He is not very clear about the customs here.
Moreover, these groundhogs are called Mosca's elves by the people here.
If he wanted to keep all the Cordyceps on the grounds that they were dug out by the elves of Mosca, we would have no choice but to say nothing.
To put it simply, this is disrespectful to the local customs.
To put it in a broader sense, it can be accused of destroying unity.
