Chapter 124 Going up the mountain again
It's true that plans cannot keep up with changes. I originally planned to stay here for a while and then return to Northwest City. Now that I want to make salt here, I must plan to stay for a long time.
Then you have to consider buying a house in the village.
Su Yue expanded her mental power to see if there were any houses leaning against the cliff. It would be best if there were houses in those places, as they could serve as a decoy.
If you don't have a house, you can still buy land there and build a new house.
After a mental scan, he found a dilapidated house on the cliffside. Only the main structure was left, and all the beams had collapsed.
But the location is okay, backed by a cliff.
Thinking that the village chief would be coming soon, Su Yue decided to ask later to see if the house there could be bought.
If you can buy it, there is about 20 acres of land there, you can buy it all together.
Just when Su Yue was thinking about how to dig a passage underground, she heard voices coming from outside. Those voices were very excited, and it was obvious that they had seen the things in the backpack.
Su Yue looked with her spiritual power and saw that it was the village chief and several men from the village. They were looking at the things in the backpack and were very excited.
Su Yue walked out of the house and into the yard.
"Master Murong, I just heard from Carpenter Luo that you can reach the top of the mountain. Is this true?"
The village chief's surname was Niu. At this moment, he stared at Murong Li with a pair of ox eyes and asked in disbelief.
Murong Li's identity was there. After all, he was the emperor's son and had the emperor's blood flowing in his body. However, he still didn't dare to show off his power as a village chief in front of Murong Li and was always respectful in front of him.
He knew that Yunwu Village had a history of five or six hundred years, and no one had ever been able to climb to the top of the mountain. At most, they would hunt and gather mountain goods halfway up the mountain.
He still didn't quite believe that he could reach the top of the mountain.
Murong Li nodded and said, "We can go up. If the villagers need these things, we can go up and collect some. But you must buy them with silver, and the price will not be cheap."
Village Chief Niu said without even frowning, "Price is not a problem, as long as there is food to eat."
Nowadays, you can’t buy food even if you have silver. If you can use silver to buy food, why bother arguing about the price?
Seeing the fresh mushrooms and juicy fruits, Village Chief Niu was so greedy that he wanted to buy some immediately to satisfy his craving.
"Then can you still hunt?"
Village chief Niu suddenly thought that since there were these things on the mountain, there should be animals as well.
Murong Li nodded: "Of course this can be achieved."
Village Chief Niu was thrilled. He grasped Murong Li's hand and said, "Mr. Murong, thank you so much! You are saving the lives of our villagers. Don't worry, we will not bargain with you for the prey you hunt or the supplies you gather, no matter how much you sell them for. We will never complain about the high price. I know that they were paid for with your lives."
Climbing to the top of that steep cliff is no joke. It is really a gamble with your life. If you fall down the mountain accidentally, you will definitely be smashed to pieces.
Moreover, if there were wild game and these mountain products, it would not be a problem for the villagers to survive this winter.
Murong Li was not used to being touched by others, except Su Yue of course. He took out his hand and patted the village chief on the shoulder. "As long as the village chief says this, we will leave immediately."
"Okay, okay, tell me what you need and I'll prepare it." Village Chief Niu smiled so hard that the wrinkles on his face could kill a mosquito.
Seeing Village Chief Niu like this, Su Yue's impression of his character changed a lot. When she first met him, she thought he was another bully or local tyrant because he looked ferocious.
Don't judge a person by his appearance. Although Village Chief Niu looks like a guy that would make little devils stay away from him, he is actually a good village chief who cares about the villagers at heart.
"Just a backpack and a rope or something."
Murong Li thought about it and said that Su Yue’s space didn’t have that many backpacks, and it would be inconvenient to take things out of the space in front of Leader Qin and the others.
"That's easy. Just wait, I'll arrange it." After saying that, Village Chief Niu ran away in a hurry.
The villagers took a look at the things in the backpack, and reluctantly followed Village Chief Niu and ran away.
Su Yue: "Brother, go ahead and call Leader Qin and the others up."
Su Qiwen nodded and immediately ran to Qin Lingtou's yard. Carpentry work was also being done in the yard. The house had been repaired and only some furniture was missing.
They asked a carpenter from the village to do it.
Su Qicheng was also here to help, mainly because he didn't want to ruin Su Qiwen's good deeds.
Su Qiwen found Leader Qin and told him what had happened. Leader Qin asked Su Qicheng to help watch over the situation. He told people to prepare things without saying a word.
Su Yue gave some of the things in the two backpacks to Luo Dinghe, brought the rest into the house, and left a lot of food for Su Qiwen.
Village chief Niu quickly found more than twenty large backpacks and many hemp ropes and placed them all in the yard. Many villagers also came to watch the fun.
Everyone was talking at once, and they all wanted to go up the mountain too.
"Shut up! Follow me if you want to die." Village chief Niu roared after hearing this. With their weak hands and feet, they had no strength to climb.
The villagers immediately shut up and dared not make another sound.
It's quite intimidating, Su Yue took a look.
"Fourth Master, shall we set off now?" It happened that leader Qin came over with his men.
Murong Li nodded, he looked at Su Yue, Su Yue also nodded at him, meaning it was okay.
So a dozen people stacked up more than twenty backpacks, carried them on their backs, and left the ropes in the backpacks.
"Brother, you stay home and look after the house. By the way, ask the village chief if he wants to sell that dilapidated house at the foot of the cliff. If he does, buy it all. It's about 20 acres of land."
Su Yue pulled Su Qiwen over and talked to him, and left two thousand taels of silver notes for him.
"Don't worry, sister. I guarantee this will be handled well." Su Qiwen said, patting his chest. He originally wanted to go with his sister and the others, but then he thought that he still needed to spend more time with Luo Meiting to build their relationship, and someone would be needed at home too.
Su Yue patted his shoulder and looked at Luo Meiting: "Come on, big brother."
"hey-hey……"
Su Qiwen laughed dryly.
Only then did Su Yue catch up with Murong Li and the others.
This was the second time going up the mountain. Qin led the eleven people, all of whom were quite skilled. Although they were a little slow, they still climbed to the top of the mountain.
But when they climbed to the top of the mountain, the thick fog covered the top of the mountain again and they returned to their original position.
"Wow, this is magical." Qin led the group and they were all surprised to see the strange phenomenon on the top of the mountain.
"Rest and eat something first, then we'll get back to work."
Su Yue took out some dry food and distributed it to everyone.
Everyone took the dry food and started eating it with water.
The fog on the mountain was thick, and no one dared to move on their own. After eating and drinking, Su Yue led everyone into the depths of the forest and began to pick mushrooms, wild vegetables, and wild fruits...
