Chapter 171 Harvest
Anyone who sees so much gold, silver and treasures can't help but...
?
Fu Jiaming saw Su Ning standing next to him with a calm expression, as if what he was holding in his hand was not a gold ingot but an ordinary small stone, and his face was full of question marks.
"You, don't you have any normal reaction?"
Just like Yan Xi, just like himself, even if he wasn't so excited that his face turned red, at least his heartbeat was accelerated. Wasn't he a little excited?
Spreading his hands elegantly, Suning just smiled and said nothing: Could she say that she has become immune to the treasure chest and the things in the chest?
Yan Xi, who was half squatting on top of the boxes, had come back to his senses from his great joy and quickly opened all the boxes on the top layer one by one.
Inside were neatly stacked gold and silver ingots and various jewellery.
This time it’s really happening!
The problem is how to transport it out.
Scratching his head, Yan Xi jumped down from above and looked at the two of them, "What do you think?"
"Uncle, you tell me."
After the excitement, Fu Jiaming calmed down. The main reason was that since they had never been poor, it was normal for them to be excited when seeing so many treasures. But after the excitement died down, they would just be that simple.
That’s because even if they tried their best to stuff the gold on their bodies, they couldn’t carry out a box of gold.
"This place was discovered by Ningning. It was all thanks to her luck that she found it. Of course, half of the box should be given to her. The rest should be divided equally between the two of us?"
"No need, Uncle Yan. We all came here together so let's split it equally. This is the fairest way."
"Don't look at me, I can do anything."
Yan Xi was so determined in his attitude that he could not win the argument and stopped talking. The three of them accepted this division.
There were a total of 162 boxes, 54 for each person, placed in three different positions.
Fu Jiaming patted the big box in front of him happily and took out ten gold ingots, a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of jade pendants and a pair of pink pearl earrings: he gave all the gold to his mother, and the rest would be just enough to give to Shuangshuang as a betrothal gift.
Yan Xi did the same thing as him and also picked out some gold bars and some jewelry to take back to his mother and wife.
Only Suning did not touch the things inside. He waited quietly for the two of them to finish having fun before pointing to the red Ganoderma lucidum on the cliff above the canyon.
"I just looked carefully and there is no place to tie the rope. This cliff seems to be made of rocks. I can only try to see if I can climb up with my bare hands."
Hearing this, Fu Jiaming immediately remembered the real purpose of coming to Baoshan this time. He hit his head in annoyance, took out the things in his arms and placed them on the lid of the wooden box, then turned around and walked to the bottom of the cliff to pry open the protruding rocks with force.
The rock is quite hard, but the protruding parts are very sharp. If you're not careful, at least you'll get stabbed. For sure, I'm afraid that after I climb up, I might feel the pain and subconsciously let go and fall down.
"How about I try it first?"
Yan Xi looked up and looked at him several times, then put down the bow and arrow on his back and the things in his arms, rubbed his hands, and became eager to try.
Having been in the mountains for so many years, it is bound to be that I have encountered some dangerous situations. I remember when I was chased by wild wolves and wild boars, I had to climb anything as long as I could survive.
This cliff looks difficult to climb, but in fact, as long as you are brave and careful, and find a good foothold each time you start climbing, it should not be difficult to climb up. It just takes some time and requires more physical strength.
"Uncle, let me go first, after all, he is my old man..."
"Are you the elder or am I the elder? Listen to me!"
This is a potential son-in-law who has not even entered the family yet. What if something happens to him and he gets hurt and cripples his family? !
Yan Xi glared at him, then pulled the man behind him forcefully. Without saying anything more, he spat into his palms twice, rubbed them vigorously, and began to try to climb.
It is said that the Yan family was once the most powerful hunters in Luohu. After the founding of the new country, Yan's father moved out of the mountains with his wife and children and started to live a stable life by working in the fields.
But he did not forget anything he had given to Yan Xi, and he even did not throw it away.
Even though we live in a collective society now, if he hadn't been afraid of being reported for undermining socialism, he would have been able to provide his family with meat without worries just with his kung fu.
It's nothing like now, where we don't eat meat for a whole month, and only go up the mountain secretly when the kids are very hungry.
"Uncle Yan, be careful. If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways."
Suning, who was looking up below, could see how fast he was climbing up. In just a short while, he was already more than ten meters above the ground.
I couldn't help but remind him in a low voice, fearing that my voice would be too loud and disturb him.
Fu Jiaming was also constantly adjusting his position below him, with his hands spread out, ready to serve as a cushion at any time.
Time passes by every second.
As Yan Xi went higher, each move took longer.
This is a time when physical strength is being consumed rapidly, and it is also the moment that tests one's mental quality the most.
"Almost there, almost there! Just a little bit more..."
It was the end of October and the beginning of November, and the two people who were staying in the shade were sweating all over, and their palms were sticky from nervousness.
I’m afraid that something unexpected might happen to Yan Xi above.
The sharp-eyed Su Ning noticed that his hands were bright red, and his heart couldn't help but rise to his throat.
Fortunately, Yan Xi was calm and in good physical condition, and he finally arrived in front of the red Ganoderma lucidum safely.
Seeing him picking the fruits bit by bit, I suddenly remembered the small backpack that was forgotten outside the stone gate. No one had expected the scene inside to be like this.
It took Yan Xi more than ten minutes to pick out the complete red Ganoderma lucidum. The century-old red Ganoderma lucidum was not small, almost the size of two adult palms.
He carefully untied the jacket that was tucked into his trousers, and after placing Lingzhi close to his arms, he tucked the clothes underneath back in.
After making sure that he would not fall out, he began to climb down slowly along the raised rock with blood stains.
Once he was safely on the ground, the two hurried over to meet him.
"Uncle, how are you?"
"Uncle Yan, your hand..."
"It's okay, it's okay. I have thick skin and flesh, so I can just wipe off the spider web dust when I get home."
Yan Xi smiled nonchalantly, slowly took out something from his arms and handed it to Fu Jiaming, "Finally, there was no danger, and the life-saving medicine was in hand~"
His hands were already bloody and it wasn't as calm as he said.
Fu Jiaming took the red Ganoderma lucidum that he almost risked his life to get with both hands. His eyes suddenly turned red and misty, and he was moved beyond words.
"You are a real man, why do you act like a woman? Come on, come on!"
"Uncle Yan, let me help you treat your wound first."
"Well, okay, then I'll trouble you, Ningning."
Fortunately, he knew he was going into the mountains and prepared some medicine in advance. Suning grabbed one of his hands and went to a place with more light.
The canyon above looks like a ray of sky, and the sunlight shining through casts a long band of light on the ground.
Using the light, carefully remove the small stones that have pierced the flesh one by one.
Then he took out a few small porcelain bottles from his arms, uncorked the bottle marked with external injuries, and applied the medicine inside evenly on the wound.
After doing all this, she and Fu Jiaming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He rested there for more than half an hour, until Yan Xi recovered and the light above his head had completely disappeared.
Thinking about the dangers of being in the mountains at night, Yan Xi looked at them and suggested, "This is a good place, we don't have to worry about wild animals. It will be dark by the time we get down to the foot of the mountain. How about we rest here tonight and set off again at dawn tomorrow?"
After looking at each other, Fu Jiaming and Su Ning nodded at the same time without any objection.
"In that case, I'll go up and hide the rope, and pick up some dry branches to see if I can get something to eat."
"I'll go with you."
"Hey, you two just wait here, I'll go..."
"No!" "No."
Rejecting in unison with Fu Jiaming, Su Ning frowned and advised, "Uncle Yan, you can't use the bow and arrows on your hand anymore. The crack will make the injury worse. Don't worry, we will come back immediately whether we find food before dark or not."
"Yes, uncle, you just rest here, we will be back soon!"
Even if I can't find anything to eat, I can always go to the water source I passed before and catch some fish, right?
Fu Jiaming patted his chest as if to assure him, then gave Su Ning a look. The two of them left the spot quickly without giving him a chance to refute.
