The old doctor looked at Xiao Xiao and asked, "Why don't I see bear gall and tiger gall?"
Yuan Shitou quickly took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and handed it over.
"It's here."
The old doctor took the cloth bag, still warm from Yuan Shitou's body, and carefully opened it.
It's like some rare treasure.
He took it out and examined it from all angles for a while, then praised it:
"Hmm, it's well prepared."
Then he looked at Uncle Lin.
"Young man Lin, lend me two thousand yuan."
Uncle Lin smiled and handed over two thousand yuan.
The old doctor pushed the money in front of Xiaoxiao:
"Girl, keep this safe. This is the money for buying bear bile and tiger bile."
I dare not accept it.
Two gallbladders for two thousand yuan? Nobody would believe it if I told them.
Although tiger gallbladders and bear gallbladders are quite precious, they're not worth that much.
I was wondering if the doctor had given me too much.
He then reminded him, "Master Yao, isn't this a bit too much?"
The old herbalist glared at her: "Hey, you little rascal, people are afraid of not getting enough money."
You're something else, complaining about having too much money.
Don't worry, I'm just going by market prices.
If you have any more items like this in the future, remember to bring them to me.
Don't go anywhere else; they won't offer such a good price.
She nodded slightly in response.
The old doctor tucked the bear bile and tiger bile into his robes.
He picked up the bones and jerky Xiaoxiao had given him and ran off happily.
He needed to quickly prepare the tiger bone wine and bear bone wine, as these were both excellent ingredients.
Don't leave it lying around and it'll just disappear again.
The group of people who watched him leave finally came to their senses.
Uncle Lin laughed and said, "That's just how the old medicine doctor is. As long as there are good things, he's as happy as a child."
Xiao Xiao was incredibly excited at that moment.
They sold nearly 20,000 yuan worth of goods on this trip down the mountain.
Who would believe that if I told them?
In this day and age, money is spent penny by penny.
They actually had a huge sum of over 30,000 yuan in their hands.
This feels like a dream.
Uncle Lin helped the two of them pack their things.
"I won't keep you here."
Go home quickly and don't wander around outside.
There's not much you can buy outside.
Just tell me what you need, and I'll get it for you.
Xiao Xiao nodded: "Understood, Uncle Lin."
I won't stand on ceremony with you.
"If you bring anything else in the future, remember to do it discreetly."
Don't swagger around.
The situation is not very stable right now, so it's best to be careful.
"Oh, by the way, please wait a moment."
He then left.
Not long after, he came over carrying a bundle.
"Here are some dry rations to take with us to eat on the mountain."
Now that it's getting dark, you should leave quickly.
Then find a safe place to rest.
The two nodded, packed up, and said goodbye to Uncle Lin.
There weren't many people on the road anymore.
The two reached the foot of the mountain without any problems.
Yuan Shitou was worried that Xiaoxiao was tired, so he wondered if they should find a place to rest here.
Then he asked Yun Xiaoxiao, who had a smile on her face the whole time.
"Xiaoxiao, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while? Or have something to eat?"
He was starting to feel hungry.
Xiao Xiao shook her head: "Let's go up the mountain and find a safe place to talk."
Don't rest here.
Yuan Shitou nodded.
The two went to a place they used to rest at.
They gathered a large pile of dry firewood and started a fire.
On the mountain, a fire must be lit at night.
Even if we don't ward off the cold of the mountain, we still have to guard against wild animals.
Yuan Shitou was quite skilled at starting fires.
They usually sit in a circle, with each other in the middle.
This is much safer.
After doing all that, Xiaoxiao opened the package that Uncle Lin had given her.
There were more than a dozen large white steamed buns inside, still warm.
Xiao Xiao grabbed one and stuffed it into Yuan Shitou's hand.
"It's still hot, eat it quickly."
He picked one up and took a bite.
After eating one, Xiaoxiao felt less hungry and happily said...
"Brother Stone, we're going to make a fortune!"
I never imagined ginseng and lingzhi would be so expensive.
I have two more that are even thicker than this one at home. I'm keeping them for emergencies; I can't bear to sell them.
"Do you think we should go back into the mountains and look for any more ginseng or lingzhi mushrooms?"
Yuan Shitou paused in his eating of the steamed bun, and said somewhat awkwardly.
"Xiaoxiao, we have so much money, we could never use it all in a lifetime."
Let's not go deep into the mountains then.
If you're craving meat, I'll go hunt some more game around here to satisfy your craving.
Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes at him and said in a lecturing tone:
"Look at you, you're such a good-for-nothing."
You're satisfied with this little bit of money.
We don't know what the future holds.
You saw it today, and you heard what Uncle Lin said.
From now on, if we want to sell things, we'll have to do it secretly.
Maybe no one will dare to buy it.
Luckily, we have Uncle Lin's connections. If we didn't, you could try to sell it.
My things might get confiscated.
Besides, we'll be raising children in the future.
We can't let the children go hungry.
Therefore, we should save more money for them.
People need to be ambitious and not lazy, you know?
Yuan Shitou was stunned by his wife's scolding and nodded subconsciously.
"I understand, Xiaoxiao."
"Then let's go back and climb the mountain to find ginseng and lingzhi."
Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes at him again: "Look at what you're saying, are ginseng and lingzhi like cabbage? They're available anytime, anywhere."
That depends on luck, you know?
Therefore, we should still focus on hunting.
If we hunt another tiger or bear or something.
"Even if we make it into jerky, it could sell for several thousand yuan."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shitou became agitated.
"Wife, not Xiaoxiao, can we not go to that mountain?"
It's too dangerous there; I'm afraid something might happen to you.
What should I do then?
"Pah! Pah! Pah! Look at your jinxed mouth. How can you say such a thing?"
"Don't worry, we won't go to that mountain. We'll just hunt in Misty Mountain."
Yuan Shitou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as we don't go to that mountain, it's fine.
Seeing Xiaoxiao yawn, he reached out and hugged her.
"Xiaoxiao, why don't you take a nap? I'll keep an eye on things."
She nodded slightly.
Anyway, it's hot now, not cold.
Although it's a bit cool up on the mountain, there's Yuan Shitou, who's like a furnace.
And the fire on the side doesn't keep you cold at all.
With her eyes closed, she said, "Then I'll take a nap first."
"You keep an eye on things; I'll watch over them when I wake up, and you can go back to sleep."
Yuan Shitou patted her on the back: "Okay, go to sleep."
Little Xiao was indeed very sleepy, and she fell into a deep sleep shortly after closing her eyes.
Yuan Shitou looked at his sleeping wife's face and couldn't help but grin.
His wife is really beautiful.
In the silent mountain forest, the branches crackled and popped as they burned.
The roars of wild beasts could be heard in the distance.
Those who are more timid would be terrified.
Only Yuan Shitou and Xiao Xiao, who are both bold, would act so recklessly.
As the saying goes: People of different kinds don't belong together.
Both of them were daring, so they made a perfect couple.
