Extraordinary little Shennong

Chapter 23 Contracting Ghost Mountain
Yu Xiaofan was very calm in his heart, he was not at all afraid that Sister Xia would come to him.

After returning to the village, he caught up with his parents and sister again when they came back from picking herbs in the ghost mountain.

As soon as Yu Jianxiong saw Yu Xiaofan, he expressed his worry, "Son, we seem to have almost harvested the medicinal herbs in Ghost Mountain. The business is so good, but the medicinal herbs can't be supplied. What should we do?"

"Dad, I'm about to talk to you about this! Dad, I want to contract the ghost mountain. Why don't you and I go to the village chief and talk about the contract."

"Okay, just leave the matter of washing the herbs to your mother and your sister, let's go and have a look."

When Yu Xiaofan and Yu Jianxiong came to the village head's office, they happened to see the village head making tea leisurely.

Yu Xiaofan said politely, "Village Chief, I want to talk to you about something!"

When the village chief saw that it was Yu Xiaofan who came in, he quickly stood up enthusiastically, and moved a stool for him and Yu Jianxiong.

In the past, the village chief would not have been so enthusiastic at all, and Yu Xiaofan certainly understood the great change in the village chief.

As soon as Yu Xiaofan sat down, the village chief smiled and said, "Xiaofan, what do you want from me?"

Yu Xiaofan went straight to the point, "That's right, the village chief. I want to grow some medicinal herbs, and I want to contract the ghost mountain. I wonder if the village chief can agree?"

The village chief was a little surprised, "Ghost Mountain? That is a forbidden area in our village. No one dares to go up the mountain. You may not know it, but your father should have heard that Ghost Mountain has been haunted by ghosts several times, so it was sealed as a forbidden area later. Later generations will come in and out, so as not to cause another accident."

"I've heard my dad say all these things, but I've been in and out several times recently, and I haven't seen any legendary ghosts."

"It may be because your life is relatively hard and you can't see the dirty things. Since you insist on contracting Ghost Mountain, I am embarrassed to disagree. According to my opinion, I can contract it to you for free. But, you also know that this I am not the head of the village who can tell what he says. I have to discuss with the deputy head and the village party secretary before I can give you the result. How about this, you go home first. After the result, I will personally go to your home to tell you the good news! "

Yu Xiaofan stood up and bowed respectfully to the village chief, "Thank you, village chief, then we won't bother you for now." After finishing speaking, he exited the village chief's office.

Yu Jianxiong didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. After leaving the village chief's office, he couldn't help feeling, "Xiaofan, you have really grown up. I thought it was up to me to negotiate with the village chief, but I didn't expect You can totally handle it yourself."

Yu Xiaofan smiled, "It's because Dad educated me well that I grew up so fast!"

"Hey, the children of poor families have been in charge of the family for a long time, and it's because of my father's incompetence that makes you have to stand alone at such a young age." Yu Jianxiong's words were full of sadness.

"Dad, I'm not young anymore. I'm 18 years old this year. Besides, it's great that I can stand alone. You and Mom can enjoy the blessings in the future."

"By the way, the village chief said that we can contract the ghost mountain to us for free. If this is the case, it would be great."

Yu Xiaofan's face suddenly became solemn for a moment, "Dad, you forgot that the village chief said, do you still need to discuss with the deputy village chief and the village party secretary? Things won't be that simple, you forgot, we and the deputy village chief Is there any grievance at home?"

Yu Jianxiong sighed, "Oh, yes, it's not that easy. The village chief is better, he is willing to contract it to us for free."
