A basin of cold water was poured over him, and Zheng Xinghai didn't know how to describe the feeling.
"Girl, are you telling the truth?"
The location of Nanzhi has been confirmed.
Zheng Xinghai frowned. "The mountain road is dangerous. The highest point is deep in the dense forest, where there are countless jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards. Even if we survive to retrieve it, we might not survive to eat it."
I've been to the mountains several times, and apart from encountering a pack of wolves once, I haven't encountered any other dangerous creatures.
Moreover, the mountain is dangerous, and the depths of the dense forest are fraught with peril. The villagers' idea is deeply ingrained, and it's really hard to come up with a way to get them to go up the mountain in a short time.
Finally, the two left the choice to the villagers.
"Clang, clang..."
The bell at the village entrance rang for a long time.
Zheng Xinghai gathered the villagers together. There was a century-old tree here, with a bell hanging under it. The old bell was usually rung when something significant happened.
Zheng Xinghai stood up after most of the people had arrived.
"Village chief, what's the urgent matter that calls everyone together? We haven't finished working in the fields yet."
Only the elderly couple remained at Sun Zheng's house. Their son was away, and the family depended on the two of them to make ends meet. They were so busy that their feet barely touched the ground. When the clock struck, the two of them dropped their hoes and rushed over.
Even Zhao Laizi, who was always idle, came over.
He knew this situation because firstly, there were policies from above, and secondly, the village chief was going to distribute supplies again.
After weighing the options, the second possibility is more likely.
It would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal.
"Everyone, please be quiet," Zheng Xinghai began. "We have something important to announce today."
The noise below gradually subsided, and the villagers wondered what could be more important than spring plowing.
And why is that girl from the Nan family standing with the village chief?
Zheng Xinghai cleared his throat. "A new food has been discovered on the mountain, called horse, uh."
What was it again?
"Potatoes," Nan Zhi whispered a reminder.
“Oh right,” Zheng Xinghai pulled a potato out of his pocket and held it in his hand like a treasure. “Potatoes can yield up to 1,000 jin per mu.”
"A thousand catties!" the villagers exclaimed.
"Just these clods of dirt?"
"You're kidding me. The highest yield of millet we grow is only 400 catties."
"That's right, that's right, how could the village chief lie to people?"
"Has the village chief switched to swindling and deception?"
······
Although the sound was soft, he still heard it.
Zheng Xinghai said with a dark face, "It's true, but this thing grows at the highest point on the mountain, which is very dangerous. So I'm asking everyone to discuss it today."
No one has ever been to the highest point.
The villagers discussed it for a long time but couldn't come to any conclusion.
Zheng Xinghai: "We'll go up the mountain tomorrow morning. Anyone who wants to go, please meet at the village entrance. Of course, once we're up the mountain, whoever digs up what they find keeps it, however much they dig, you can decide for yourselves."
Whoever finds it gets to keep it; wouldn't the family with more members get more?
But the thing was on the mountaintop, and the villagers hesitated to some extent.
