Perfect pastoral life

Chapter 16 Wild Codonopsis

Chen Mu took out a cigarette and threw it over. Wu Dayi took the cigarette as a matter of course, stuffed it into his mouth, lit the cigarette with the butt he hadn't smoked just now, then sucked a few times, exhaled a mouthful of smoke, and then squinted. raised eyelids, said;

"Muwa, where did you get that Ganoderma lucidum last time? I reckon there must be good ones left behind there, why don't you take us there to look for them?"

Chen Mu said, "Village Chief, that place is still far away, do you really plan to go in?"

"Oh? You mean in the three dangers? There are deep mountains and canyons there, dangerous!"

The three dangers mentioned by Wu Dayi are the name of an area in Dashan. If you advance from Longdong Village to Dashan, you will be divided into three checkpoints along the way. It is the three risks Wu Dayi just mentioned.

As the name suggests, the three checkpoints represent different levels of danger in the mountains, and each checkpoint means that the environment inside is more dangerous.

Now a group of talents has just entered the second danger, and there is still a long way to go before the second danger and the third danger.Most herbal farmers are only willing to operate within the scope of the first and second risks, and few people enter the depths of the third risk.Now, Wu Dayi heard that Chen Mu's Ganoderma lucidum was picked in the Three Dangerous Areas, so he naturally knew the situation inside. The environment was dangerous and dangerous. Generally speaking, he was not willing to enter it easily.

Wu Dayi clearly remembered that last year a villager died in the three dangers in the village. The man was probably bitten to death by a poisonous snake. No one knew who died in it for more than a week. Later, Wu Dayi mobilized the villagers to go into the mountain together. After searching for people on a large scale, the man was finally found in a mountain depression. Unfortunately, most of the man's body had been eaten by wild beasts, leaving only half of his body and two legs.

Since then, very few people have entered the three dangers. First, because several people have died inside, it is a bit scary, and second, it is too dangerous inside, and people will lose their lives if they are not careful.

Thinking of this, Wu Dayi began to hesitate. On the one hand, he wanted to collect wild Ganoderma lucidum, but on the other hand, he was afraid of accidents inside.

"What's the matter, village chief, should we continue going in?" Chen Mu saw Wu Dayi's intentions and asked deliberately.

"Shepherd Boy, you must be aware of the situation inside." Wu Dayi hesitated, "Now that summer has begun, the number of poisonous snakes in the mountains will gradually increase. If there is an accident inside, what do you think should be done?"

Chen Mudao; "Since the village chief doesn't plan to go in, I have no choice but to go in by myself."

After finishing speaking, Chen Mu turned to look at Liang Xiaoyue and said, "What about you, Xiaoyue, are you afraid of entering the three dangers?"

Liang Xiaoyue tightened the small pannier on her shoulders, and said firmly, "I'm not afraid, as long as I can get medicinal materials, I'm not afraid of anything."

"Okay, the little girl has backbone." Chen Mu praised.

Chen Mu looked at Wu Dayi again, and saw that he looked uncomfortable because he couldn't poop, so he said;
"Village Chief, then we have to continue to set off, why don't you go back first?"

Wu Dayi thought for a while, then suddenly frowned, spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth, stood up and cursed;
"Damn it, no one can say no. I am worried about your safety. Since you are determined to go, then everyone will go together. But I have made it clear that there must be a lot of good goods in the deserted territory of Sandan. At that time, everyone digs their own, and whoever digs the best medicinal materials is their own ability, and it is absolutely impossible to see who has a share, do you understand?"

"Understood, we listen to the village chief."

The only person in the crowd who was not a relative of Wu Dayi said that this man was called Zhao Ergou, a strong, simple-minded person who was the main thug in the village when dealing with Shuitian Village's provocations.

"Okay, everyone will go their own way later, call me immediately if you encounter difficulties, and I will go to the rescue immediately." Wu Dayi said with a show.

For everyone's safety, Wu Dayi asked everyone to leave each other's phone numbers. In terms of life safety, Wu Dayi was still very cautious.

Next, everyone started to travel to Sandanli along different routes.

It is said that everyone went their own way, but in fact they divided everyone into three teams. Among them, Liang Xiaoyue followed Chen Mu, and the village thug Zhao Ergou was not afraid of anything. He walked a route alone. They are Wu Dayi's confidants, and their family members naturally entered the mountain together.

Parting from the main force, Chen Mu and Liang Xiaoyue headed towards the three dangers along the bottom of the valley. The road was difficult and Liang Xiaoyue was a little exhausted. Chen Mu had to slow down because of her.

"Can Xiaoyue still go? Why don't you sit down and rest before leaving." Chen Mu said in front.

Sweat had already soaked Liang Xiaoyue's bangs on her forehead, she looked so pure and lovely in this appearance, she wiped off the sweat from her face, and said;
"Don't rest, brother Chen Mu, I can still go, you don't have to worry about me."

Chen Mu was helpless, this little girl was already sweating profusely from exhaustion, but she insisted on refusing to stop, which showed that she was a very stubborn child.

The two walked for a while and came to an open place. At this moment, Chen Mu's sense of smell suddenly smelled the smell of medicinal materials, and there seemed to be the smell of Codonopsis pilosula nearby.

Smelling the scent of Codonopsis pilosula, Chen Mu instantly regained his energy.

You must know that even in the deep mountains, pure wild Codonopsis is as scarce as gold. Today's Codonopsis basically relies on artificial cultivation. Planted Codonopsis is completely incomparable with pure wild Codonopsis in terms of efficacy, especially in terms of price .

Codonopsis ginseng artificially planted is about tens to hundreds of yuan per catty.Wild Codonopsis is different, its price depends on the growth cycle of Codonopsis, and the price of Codonopsis in different growth periods is very different.

For example, the price of third-grade wild Codonopsis ginseng under the five-year growth period is generally 60-120 yuan per catty; It costs 180 yuan per catty. As for the super high-quality wild Codonopsis with a growth period of more than 12 years, the price can reach more than 260 yuan per catty.

Through his keen sense of smell, Chen Mu easily identified the place where the wild Codonopsis ginseng grows, which is in a yin valley about one kilometer ahead on the left.

The terrain there is low-lying, surrounded by mountains, so that the light time is short, and wild Codonopsis likes to grow in damp and sunny places. That area is rich in vegetation and dense in humidity, which is an excellent place for wild Codonopsis to grow.

Chen Mu greeted Liang Xiaoyue who was next to him, and asked him to follow behind him, and decided to go over there to find out.

Listening to the increasingly strong smell of wild Codonopsis ginseng, Chen Mu realized that there might be a lot of Codonopsis ginseng over there, which should be enough for the two of them to dig for a while.

Before entering the mountain, Chen Mu had told Liang Xiaoyue that if they dug up the medicinal materials today, they would split half and half, but Liang Xiaoyue thought that she shouldn't take so much. Parts will do.

For Liang Xiaoyue's request to take only a small part of the medicinal materials, Chen Mu of course refused politely; since he brought a little girl into the mountains to dig medicine, he couldn't treat the other party badly, the most fair way was half of each person.

Not long after, the two came to this low-lying and damp place. When they saw it, they were instantly shocked by the sight here.

The neighborhood is sparsely covered with wild Codonopsis ginseng trees, the number of which is at least enough for two people to dig for most of the day.
