Lin Wanwan nodded and thanked the village head again.
"Okay, everyone, get busy. From now on, talk less and do more!"
After the village head sent everyone away, he also helped Old Lady Chen walk back.
Old Mrs. Chen patted her son's arm and said, "I think the girl became much more sensible that night, and she can do arithmetic. She will definitely be blessed in the future."
"Well, Uncle Jingshan is capable. Grandpa Lin's family used to be poor. The eldest son Jing'an died in the battlefield while serving in the army. They finally raised the second son Jingchuan, but the war broke out again, and Jingchuan also went to the battlefield and could not come back. Grandma Lin risked her life to leave an offspring for the Lin family, but her health deteriorated day by day since then, and she passed away in less than two years. The family relied on Grandpa Lin to support them. Fortunately, Uncle Jingshan was practical and capable. When he was young, he worshipped an old doctor as his teacher and learned how to set bones. He also married Aunt Yuehe, who was so virtuous, and that's how they lived better and better. It's a pity that Grandpa Lin didn't enjoy a few years of happiness, and Uncle Jingshan and his wife passed away early, leaving only the youngest girl to support herself. Alas..."
"Alas, good people don't live long!" Grandma Chen sighed, "Uncle Lin's branch had a sister who married far away. I heard she passed away a few years ago. Aunt Lin's family has lost contact. Yue He's family is probably not doing well either, but her brothers and sisters-in-law are kind enough to save some food and visit her every year. Hongye, please help that girl more in the future. I don't ask her to be rich, I just hope she can be sensible."
"Okay, I understand, mother. All right, let's go back and take the medicine first. We were caught in the wind today, so don't let it happen again."
"Oh, why are you so nagging at your age? I'm still strong and healthy, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Mom, I'm worried about you!"
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you..."
Lin Wanwan came to the back mountain and started to collect firewood. Unconsciously, she walked further into the forest, while collecting firewood and identifying plants. Unexpectedly, there are many Chinese medicinal herbs in this mountain. Just now, she saw a piece of Polygonum multiflorum, but it was difficult to dig without tools. Next time she comes, she will definitely bring them home.
I also came across a few hawthorn trees and picked most of the hawthorns, preparing to make them into sugar-coated hawthorn balls with dates to sell.
She wanted to see if there were any good things there, so she walked deeper. There was no way further in, and the vegetation was dense. Lin Wanwan took a handy wooden stick and walked in carefully, guarding against poisonous snakes and insects.
After walking through this area of dense vegetation, we came to another hill with a large maple forest. These maple trees seemed to have grown for at least a hundred years, and some were between three and five hundred years old. Due to the pleasant climate here, the leaves were still green.
As she walked, she saw two giant trees that were hugging each other. Each tree was more than twice as thick as the surrounding trees. She looked up at the thousand-year-old tree and couldn't help but walk forward to observe it. If it were placed in modern times, this tree would definitely attract a large number of tourists to visit.
Suddenly, her attention was attracted by the gap between two trees, and she leaned over to take a closer look.
At first I thought it was a piece of jade, but after seeing it clearly, I couldn't help but be ecstatic. There was actually a Ganoderma lucidum growing in this gap! It looked quite big, and its color was pure white like jade. It must have been growing in this thousand-year-old tree for at least a hundred years, right? Hahahaha, I'm rich!
She used a long stick to pick up a dead leaf, and suddenly a big snake jumped out from it, scaring her so much that she quickly took several steps back.
Seeing the black and white pattern, her heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Hiss, a coral snake! This thing is very poisonous. It's over. I'm afraid she will die here today.
As the legend goes, there is a guardian beast next to the magic herb. If she had just taken it with her hands, oh my god, it would have been destroyed.
The man and the snake stared at each other, neither of them moved, waiting to see who would give up first...
Lin Wanwan kept chanting in her heart: Buddha bless you, Guanyin Bodhisattva bless you, heaven and earth bless you, Taishang Laojun please show up! All the soldiers and fighters are marching forward in formation! 857, woo woo woo, help!
“Sizzle…”
In a trance, Lin Wanwan seemed to hear a familiar sound of electricity...
"Zizi... Sensing Wanwan's strong call for help... Zizi... 857 has been forced to shut down..."
"Ahhhh, great, 857, help me, I am about to die, look, there is such a huge poisonous snake in front of me, wuwuwu..."
"857 has completed the scan. The snake in front is a coral snake, a member of the genus Coral Snake of the family Elapidae. It is extremely venomous and is active at night. It prefers to appear in hot and humid nights. It has a relatively mild temperament and rarely bites people. However, it will suddenly attack and bite people when it is laying eggs or hatching, or when it is disturbed."
"Stop! I know everything you said, and I didn't mean to provoke it, but there was a big Ganoderma lucidum in the space behind it. I just wanted to pick it, and it suddenly jumped out and attacked me..."
"Ding! 857 has scanned two Ganoderma lucidums. The larger one is 1,300 years old, and the smaller one is 900 years old. Please exchange this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum for 857. It can restore one third of its energy! Wanwan, can you give it to 857?"
"Switch, switch, switch! But what about that snake? I don't dare go over there!"
"Don't worry, Wanwan. 857 will stun it with electric shock. After you leave, it will continue to guard this place."
Lin Wanwan only felt a burst of electricity passing through her, and then the coral snake fell from the tree and lay motionless on the ground...
Lin Wanwan carefully poked it with a stick and asked tremblingly: "Is it really fainted? It won't wake up suddenly, right? If it wakes up suddenly and bites me, I will be dead!"
"Don't worry, Wanwan. The snake won't wake up for at least twenty minutes. Wanwan should hurry and pick the Ganoderma lucidum."
"But what if there's a snake in the gap?"
