Gu Lili turned around and saw that the person who came was Yang Dadan.
That bastard actually dares to say he grew the ginseng himself, it's hilarious.
This ginseng is two hundred years old. If he planted it, wouldn't he have become an immortal?
"Yang Dadan, you'd better think this through! I am now the village head personally appointed by the Emperor. If anyone tries to slander the village head, they will be beheaded!" Gu Lili sneered.
He hadn't yet displayed his official power as the head of the village, so now was the perfect time to put it to good use.
If Yang Dadan really claims this is his, then I will definitely take him to the county government!
Upon hearing Gu Lili's words, Yang Dadan instinctively shrank his shoulders.
Just now, he watched Gu Lili showing people the imperial edict and the gifts bestowed by the emperor, and he thought Gu Lili was very down-to-earth.
They also didn't realize what a village head was.
That was someone he, an ordinary citizen, couldn't afford to offend.
Yang Dadan looked around and saw that there were only Gu Lili and her brother and himself. He instantly reverted to his domineering demeanor.
Yang Dadan rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "Don't try to scare me with your status as the village head. Even if you are some kind of damn village head, you can't steal other people's things!"
Yang Dadan came to dig for medicinal herbs today and happened to hear Gu Sigou's voice, so he came this way.
His eyes lit up when he heard Gu Lili say it was ginseng.
If you take this ginseng to Donghai Town to sell, it will be worth several taels of silver!
Looking around to make sure no one was watching, he then jumped out and said that he had planted them himself.
In his eyes, Gu Lili and her brother were just children, so what could he do to him even if he bullied them?
"Fine, if you say it's yours, then let's go and argue with the magistrate!" Gu Lili said in a deep voice.
This was in ancient times; there was no technology to cultivate ginseng artificially.
This Yang Dadan is not only lacking in medical ethics, but also has terrible character.
Yang Dadan was furious when he heard that he had to see the county magistrate.
Officials all protect each other; just now, I saw the county magistrate speaking very kindly to Gu Lili.
If he tries to argue with them, what good will he get in return?
Even if it really is his, the county magistrate will probably say it belongs to Gu Lili!
It would be better to...
Thinking this, Yang Dadan pushed Gu Sigou, who was blocking his way, aside and tried to pluck the ginseng and run away, not wanting to waste any more time arguing with Gu Lili.
Gu Sigou was caught off guard by Yang Dadan's push and was pushed so hard that he was about to fall backward.
Fortunately, Gu Erniu reacted quickly and grabbed Gu Sigou.
This mountain is a slope; if you fall down it, you'll roll a long way before you stop.
There are many loose rocks on the mountain; falling down there would almost certainly be a fatal mistake.
Gu Sigou was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and even forgot to cry.
Gu Huanhuan, who was standing nearby, turned deathly pale with fright and rushed over to check on Gu Sigou's condition.
Just as Yang Dadan's hand was about to touch the ginseng, Gu Lili took out the tranquilizer gun she had prepared for Gu Jingsheng that day from her spatial storage and fired a shot at Yang Dadan's calf!
Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou's attention was on Gu Sigou, so they didn't see Gu Lili take out the tranquilizer gun.
After firing the gun, Gu Lili immediately put it back into her spatial storage.
The anesthesia took effect in an instant, and Yang Dadan was about to collapse.
It looked like the ginseng was about to be crushed. Gu Lili quickly stepped forward and gently tapped it with her finger. Yang Dadan fell in a different direction.
"Bang"
Yang Dadan fell to the ground and tumbled down the hillside.
It rolled more than ten meters away before crashing into a protruding rock and finally coming to a stop.
However, even Gu Lili felt a sharp pain in her leg after it hit the rock.
This sudden turn of events startled Gu Erniu and the other two.
Gu Huanhuan, who was originally going to comfort Gu Sigou, also looked in Yang Dadan's direction.
They had no idea what had happened, or how Yang Dadan had suddenly disappeared!
Gu Lili scratched her head and said, "Maybe he lost his balance. I'll go down and check!"
Yang Dadan just bumped his thigh, so there shouldn't be any danger to his life.
All of this is his own fault.
Gu Lili couldn't even imagine what would happen if Gu Sigou fell.
Soon, Gu Lili walked up to Yang Dadan.
She first removed the anesthetic needle from Yang Dadan's leg and put it into her spatial storage.
Only then did he place his hand under Yang Dadan's nose, feeling his even breathing. Yang Dadan was clearly alright.
However, judging from Yang Dadan's torn clothes and the considerable amount of blood flowing from his thigh, his leg was definitely going to suffer a lot.
Gu Lili felt no remorse whatsoever; it was all her own fault.
If he hadn't wanted to harm people, he wouldn't have suffered this calamity.
Gu Erniu followed him down and was startled when he saw Yang Dadan lying on the ground.
"Sister, is he dead?" Gu Erniu asked anxiously.
If they were to die, who knows how Yang Dadan's family would frame them.
After all, there was no one else here besides the siblings.
Seeing Gu Erniu's anxious expression, Gu Lili comforted him, "He won't die, Erniu. Go home and tell his family to come and take him back!"
Gu Lili originally didn't want to bother with Yang Dadan and thought she would just let him lie on the mountain and wait for the anesthesia to wear off so he could go back on his own.
However, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants on this mountain. If we really don't do anything about it, it could really lead to someone's death.
Although Yang Dadan is despicable, he doesn't deserve to die.
Gu Erniu nodded and hurriedly went down the mountain to inform Yang Dadan's family.
"Si Gou, come here!" Gu Lili beckoned to Gu Si Gou.
Gu Sigou heard his sister calling him, so he obediently came downstairs.
Gu Huanhuan followed Gu Sigou down the stairs.
Gu Lili instructed, "You two, pick up two sticks here and use them to help Yang Dadan chase away snakes and such."
If there were really poisonous snakes or insects, and someone were to get bitten like Gu Jingsheng, that would be the end of them.
Although the two were reluctant, they obediently did as instructed.
They were unwilling, simply because Yang Dadan had pushed Gu Sigou earlier.
They did as instructed simply because Gu Sigou and Gu Huanhuan were two kind-hearted children.
The two casually broke off a tree branch and sat down near Yang Dadan.
Gu Lili then continued climbing the mountain to dig up the ginseng.
The tools needed to dig for ginseng are quite special, but luckily Gu Lili has the all-powerful trading platform.
He spent a few coins to buy the tools.
Gu Lili dug very carefully, afraid of breaking a single root.
