More people means more trouble, and she and Shushu hate trouble the most. The village is very good now, and they don't need to manage it. They just need to bring some things back from time to time, and they can wait to collect money. How good is that?
"There's nothing here. Let's head back. This mountain is quite big. Based on how far we've walked these past two days, it will take us about a day to get from the village to here."
An Shuyi nodded, "We'll go back to the village via this road. We've already taken the road we came by, and we've found most of the stuff there. If we take a different road, we'll find more good stuff."
"Okay, let's go!" The two of them walked back from the side.
After walking for a while, An Shuyi discovered that the road was downhill, and looking ahead, there was a deep pit below. "Huahua, should we go downhill, or go around to the side to get to the front?"
"Let's go down and take a look!" Xia Hua said directly.
The pit was surrounded by hillsides, but it was filled with tall trees, similar to where they had rested the night before. They just didn't know if there were any other dangers inside.
"Okay!" The two cautiously descended, only to find that it was just an open space, which looked like a deep pit from above. Inside, it was quite beautiful, with all sorts of pretty flowers and precious medicinal herbs.
If the medicinal herbs weren't all planted together, so tightly packed that there wasn't a single empty space, they would have suspected that someone was planting them here.
An Shuyi looked around. The open space was large and the air was particularly humid. At the foot of a hillside was a small ditch. "Huahua, let's take all these medicinal herbs and flowers back with us."
There are still too few flowers in the house. We should bring more back to plant, and plant some in the courtyards of the clansmen as well. Then, Peach Blossom Village will truly become a paradise on earth.
Xia Hua nodded, it wasn't a big deal, and took out a hoe. "I'll be in charge of digging up the flowers, and you'll be in charge of digging up the medicinal herbs. Put the expensive ones in your warehouse, and the inexpensive ones in your basket to take back."
With so many medicinal herbs and flowers, it will be dark by the time we finish digging them all. We'll stay in the mountains one more night and go back tomorrow.
After listening to her, An Shuyi also took out a hoe, but it was a small hoe, unlike Hua Hua's big hoe. She dug up ginseng first. That's right, this place is so magical. Not only is there ginseng, but also lingzhi and he shou wu. There are so many, it will take a long time to dig.
The two squatted on the ground and dug slowly. No matter what it is, you have to be slow. If you rush, you will break the roots. It was completely dark when they finished digging up the flowers and herbs. In order to have more flowers and herbs here in the future, they did not dig them all up and left some.
They put the baskets in the warehouse, then found a spot without any pits to cook and eat. After eating and washing up, they climbed a big tree. Instead of sleeping, they started sorting through the things they had dug up.
An Shuyi checked the medicinal herbs stored in the warehouse. They were all expensive. The cheapest one was He Shou Wu, which could sell for two thousand taels of silver. She put two of them in there. She also put three ginseng roots in there. With the ones she had before, she now had five ginseng roots.
She also put in three Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, making a total of five. Although there were other small Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, she put them in her basket to take back for Xiao Wu to process. She also put in two Cistanche deserticola mushrooms, which are good things that are suitable for both men and women.
Although the price wasn't as high as ginseng or lingzhi, one root could still sell for 2,500 taels of silver. There were also a few smaller, cheaper roots, which were placed in the basket. Other medicinal herbs that couldn't sell for 500 taels of silver were also placed in the basket.
While she was tidying up, she also told Xia Hua about what she had dug up. Since Xia Hua had dug up flowers of all kinds, they could be put directly into the warehouse without any tidying up.
After the warehouse was tidied up, the two of them went to sleep. An Shuyi, who had just lay down, felt like she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it for a while and stopped thinking about it and went to sleep.
The next morning, after getting up, washing up, and having breakfast, I slowly started walking back.
roar
Hearing the roar, An Shuyi and Xia Hua exchanged a glance. The bear they had been waiting for had actually appeared. What an unexpected bonus! They had been planning to go back today, but now they could take the bear back with them and have some meat.
The two ran towards the direction from which the sound came, each drawing a large knife as they ran. Looking at the bear in the distance, they realized it was hunting its prey and enjoying its meal. Without hesitation, the two of them headed towards the black bear.
An Shuyi jumped up and swung her broadsword straight at the black bear's back. Xia Hua ran forward and used a nearby tree to stab the black bear in the neck with her knife, then shoved it to the side.
The black bear, still eating, died without even realizing it or letting out a roar.
"Shushu, put the black bear in the warehouse, I'll be right back." Xia Hua said, then rushed to the side carrying her blood-stained broadsword.
Upon hearing her words, An Shuyi pulled the knife out of the black bear's body, put the bear's carcass into the warehouse, and looked in the direction of Xia Hua, but Hua Hua's figure had long since disappeared. She wanted to look for her, but was worried that she would be looking in the wrong direction, so she could only stand there.
Moreover, without Hua Hua leading the way, she was afraid of encountering snakes. Saying she wasn't afraid of snakes was just bluffing; she was terrified.
After waiting for a long time without seeing Xia Hua return, she hesitated whether to go look for her. Then she saw colorful lights ahead, which reassured her, and she headed towards them. As she walked, she carefully watched the branches and weeds that were taller than her, afraid that a small snake might suddenly appear.
Fortunately, the journey was safe, and she successfully met Xia Hua. "Hua Hua, what did you see? You actually left me and ran away."
Xia Hua put the phone's colored light into the warehouse before saying, "I saw a white fox, and I was in a hurry so I didn't call you."
"A fox?" An Shuyi looked at her in surprise. "Did you kill it?" Why didn't she see the fox?
“I killed it. I chased it into a cave and killed it. There was a fox inside. At first, I thought it was female and spared its life, but the beast didn’t care about its life and tried to bite me. I killed it too. After I killed it, I realized it wasn’t female at all. It’s a pity it was white. If it were red, your cloak could be made.”
“Mine can’t be, but yours can. Let’s find a place with water later and tan the fox pelts first. It’s already noon, so it looks like we can’t get back to the village today,” An Shuyi said.
It's only June now, July is just around the corner. After the crops are harvested, we'll plant more, and by then it will be October. Then we can go hunting in the mountains. We're sure to catch a red fox in these three mountains. Even if we don't, there are white ones too, it doesn't have to be red.
Hua Hua only wanted to catch a red fox because she thought red was pretty and she liked red. But she would accept any color as long as it was given to her.
