Perfect pastoral life

Chapter 50 Dead Enemy

After leaving the main force, Chen Mu took Chen Xiaoyu to continue wandering in the mountains and forests.

They walked to the northwest for a while, and passed a mountain range. This mountain range was covered by pine forests. There were large areas of pine trees. The pine leaves were too thick to block the sunlight, making the light in the pine forest insufficient. Walking here was inexplicably gloomy. depression.

Even though it was hot and sunny weather, there was a trace of coolness all over the body, which made people feel uncomfortable.

As soon as he entered the pine forest, Chen Xiaoyu became timid;
"Rake, it's so dark here, the little fish is a little scared."

Chen Mu said, "Don't be afraid, little fish, Dad is here."

"What are we doing here?"

"Pick mushrooms, the little fish will know later."

"Hake, are there really mushrooms?"

"Of course, they're little red mushrooms."

"The little red mushroom, is it like the one in the cartoon?"

"Yeah."

Hearing that there are mushrooms to pick, Chen Xiaoyu was not so scared, she gradually became excited, and after a while, she even started humming.

What Chen Xiaoyu hummed was the theme song of "Frozen", because she had watched this animated movie many times, and she was familiar with it and could hum the English theme song in it.

"let it go!"

"let it go!"

Humming, Chen Xiaoyu stopped, and she suddenly shouted;

"Oh, rake, look what is that?"

Chen Mu turned his head;

"Where, little fish, what did you see?"

Chen Xiaoyu in the back basket pointed to the ground not far to the left with his finger, and said;
"Rake there, a lot of little red mushrooms!"

Chen Mu looked in the direction of Chen Xiaoyu's finger, and sure enough, a large piece of small red, yellow and yellow mushrooms grew sparsely on the ground not far ahead that was covered with withered and yellow pine leaves.

Chen Mu immediately confirmed that it was the pine mushroom.

Matsutake is not big in size, but known as the king of all bacteria, it is a kind of edible fungus with high nutritional value.They are ruddy in color, tender and delicious. They are definitely rare delicacies, and they are excellent ingredients for soup.

"Haha, Xiaoyu is amazing, that's the pine mushroom we're looking for."

Chen Mu praised Chen Xiaoyu a lot, and walked over there.

"Rake, are pine mushrooms edible?" Chen Xiaoyu asked.

"Not only can it be eaten, but it's also delicious."

Walking to the field where the pine mushrooms grow, Chen Mu put his daughter down, and the two started picking mushrooms.

The meat of the pine mushrooms is extremely tender, and they will be crushed with a little force when picking them, and Chen Mu crushed a lot of them.

When Chen Xiaoyu saw it, she said;

"Rake, you have ruined the little mushrooms, so don't use too much force when you pick them."

Chen Mu smiled wryly, and Chen Xiaoyu had already learned how to teach his father.

"Little fish, how should I pick mushrooms?" Chen Mu asked intentionally.

Chen Xiaoyu was very interested, and gently picked off a pine mushroom with his small hands, and then said,
"Hey, rake, that's it, just pull out the mushroom gently like a small fish."

Seeing Chen Xiaoyu's serious face, Chen Mu smiled in relief.

The two of them worked for a long time, and finally picked all the pine mushrooms here.The mushrooms were in a plastic bag, half full.

These pine mushrooms were enough for two people, and Chen Mu planned to return, after all, he still had work to do.

Walking out of the pine forest, the field of vision suddenly widened, and the sun was shining brightly. Chen Mu carried Chen Xiaoyu on his back and walked for a while in the mountains.

At this time, they came to a fir forest, which was flat and full of tall and straight fir trees. Although it was not too dark to walk in, it was very dangerous.

The thick fallen leaves are piled up on the ground, and there is a soft feeling when stepping on it, which makes people feel unsteady.

Such an environment is the easiest to trigger danger, because every step you take may step on poisonous snakes hidden under the pile of dead leaves, which are hard to guard against.

To be on the safe side, Chen Mu didn't plan to go any further, he wanted to go back the same way.

But at this moment, his sense of smell detected the smell of wild Gastrodia elata.According to the judgment, it was confirmed that the wild Gastrodia elata actually grew in the deep mountain and old forest in front of him.

Chen Mu was very surprised, he never expected to feel the breath of Gastrodia elata here.

You know, wild Gastrodia elata is extremely rare.I remember the last time I went to the mountain, Wang Fugui was lucky enough to dig up more than ten catties of wild gastrodia elata in the mountain, that is, those ten catties of fresh goods, and Wang Fugui sold them for thousands of dollars.

After all, high-quality wild Gastrodia elata can be sold for 500 yuan a catty, which is very attractive.

It is not easy to meet wild Gastrodia elata, Chen Mu decided to risk being bitten by a poisonous snake, and went to the deep mountains and old forests to find out.

Carrying Chen Xiaoyu in a basket, the two began to enter the fir forest.

The smell of Gastrodia elata was very weak, which meant that their growth place was not nearby, so Chen Mu could only continue walking into the woods.

After walking for a while, suddenly at this moment, I vaguely heard someone talking in front of me.

Chen Mu was taken aback. How could there be someone talking in this barren mountain and deep forest?

Could it be that Wu Dayi and his gang are in front?
But it's not right, he was obviously heading west just now, and Wu Dayi and his gang were busy digging astragalus on the eastern hillside, so it was impossible for them to appear in front at this time.

Chen Mu does not believe in ghosts and gods, so there is only one possibility, the people who spoke before are not from Longdong Village.

No, could it be someone from Shuitian Village?
Could it be that they also came to collect medicine?

Thinking of this, Chen Mu couldn't help speeding up his pace. He didn't want the people in Shuitian Village to discover the existence of wild Gastrodia elata first.

He quickened his pace and walked for a while in the woods. Sure enough, a dozen or so villagers with baskets on their backs appeared in front of him.

They were indeed from Shuitian Village.

Chen Mu saw Yang Shumeng, and he walked in front, leading the others to search for medicinal materials.

At this time, the smell of wild Gastrodia elata became stronger and stronger, indicating that they were not far ahead.

Don't let them find the trace of Tianma, Chen Mu stepped forward and walked directly towards them.

Someone saw Chen Mu, and that person yelled at the poplar tree in front;

"Brother Shu, someone is following us. The next door to Mara is someone from Longdong Village."

Yang Shumeng in front heard this, turned his head, and recognized Chen Mu at a glance.

The last time he went to Longdong Village to make trouble, Yang Shumeng was beaten up by Chen Mu. It is impossible for him not to remember this.With that in mind, he immediately walked towards Chen Mu.

"So it's you kid, why are you here?" Yang Shu looked at Chen Mu fiercely.

"What's wrong with me here, what's the matter with you?" Chen Mu asked.

Poplar raised his eyebrows fiercely;
"Damn, I see, you're fucking following us, aren't you?"

The corner of Chen Mu's mouth curled up, and he sneered;

"Do you have evidence?"

The poplar tree yanks a black face;

"Instead of following us, you will appear here alone?"

Chen Mu said coldly; "Can't I come to collect the medicine?"

"Haha, picking herbs?" Yang Shu laughed loudly, "Then you kid will follow us and eat the wind and drink farts, this is our territory of Shuitian Village."

Yang Shumeng said very proudly, suddenly at this moment, an anxious cry came from an invisible place in front;

"Brother Shu, Brother Shu, wild Gastrodia elata is found here, the size ratio is larger, there are a lot of them, come and have a look."

When Yang Shumeng heard about Gastrodia elata, he stopped competing with Chen Mu and turned around to greet everyone;
"Everyone, don't pay attention to this kid, hurry over to dig Gastrodia elata with me."

Someone interjected; "Brother Shu, don't you worry that this kid will rob us."

"Hey, he only has one pair of hands, and he can still grab us. Please be quicker with your hands and feet, do you hear me?"

"Okay, listen to brother tree, brothers go dig gastrodia."

Seeing the group of them leaving, Chen Mu murmured inwardly that it was not good. He wanted to try his best to stop them, but unexpectedly, the group from Shuitian Village got there first.

However, although they took the first step, Chen Mu knew that Gastrodia elata was not so easy to dig, so he couldn't be too hasty, he had to dig down slowly, and the damaged Gastrodia elata would be worthless, which was impossible for Yang Shumeng and the others. don't know.

Besides, the medicinal materials in the mountains are not the ones who discover them, but those who see them have a share. This is the rule.

Everything came in a hurry, Chen Mu immediately called Wu Dayi and asked him to bring someone over to dig Gastrodia elata immediately.
