The Little Lucky Girl

He also took the time to give Feng Xu a wink, and Feng Xu immediately understood and quietly withdrew his strength, allowing Zheng Huan and the man to fight frequently.

Although the man was a strong man, he could not withstand three people against him alone. After a while, he felt he could not hold on any longer and found a gap to slip away when they were not paying attention.

Zheng Huan and the others did not chase after them, but immediately leaned over to find a lot of rocks. Ming Youyou did not understand and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Feng Xu also handed her two pieces, "A defeated general will always shout a few times to save face, just wait and see."

Sure enough, the man ran a few steps and felt that the distance was far enough, so he stopped to say something harsh. Zheng Huan and the others immediately threw the stones in their hands at him, hitting the man so hard that he screamed and dared not show off anymore. He ran away in a rage.

Several people threw leaves around with a crackling sound until all the leaves around them were blown away. Then they stopped, sat on the ground, panting, looked at each other, and burst into laughter.

Zheng Huan punched Lu Taifengxu hard and tried to keep a straight face and said, "You two did it on purpose. My arms are sore and I almost got hit by that guy."

Lu Tai and the other two laughed and said, "Just tell me whether you feel sad or not."

Zheng Huan smiled and nodded, "That's thoughtful, brother."

"Tsk, isn't it sour?"

Ming Youyou waited until everyone had rested enough, then pointed at the trap and showed it to them, "This guy is really bad. He dug the trap so close to the mountain road. Although it was marked, if you are not careful in the dark, you may still fall into it, and you will definitely get hurt."

Feng Xu jumped down and pulled out all the tips of the bamboos; Zheng Huan thought it would be safer to fill the trap, but unfortunately they didn't have the right tools, so a few people picked up the stones that they had just thrown down and barely filled the trap.

They thought there might be more than one trap, so it would be better to tell the villagers.

After hearing what they said, Village Chief Guo was so angry that he stamped his feet. "Normally, few people go to that mountain. If someone really falls down, there won't be anyone to ask for help. It could be fatal."

He called several young people from the village and said, "Go and organize a group of people. Arrange a few people to patrol the mountain every day. If you encounter that bastard, you must bring him back to me."

The great uncle standing by also added: "Send two more people to the nearby villages to tell them that the man may not have dug holes in just one mountain. Let them investigate more."

The young men in the village were also very angry. That man had broken the rules for everyone to enter the mountains, so they simply lived and ate on the mountain and waited. After a few days, they really caught the man.

When asked which village he was from, he refused to tell us. Village chief Guo then asked several wives who had married into the village from other villages to come and identify him, but they also said they didn't know him.

Since he is not a fellow villager, there is no need to be polite. Just kidnap him and send him directly to the county government office.

But there was something that the man left behind, which was dark and nobody knew what it was. The village chief saw that it was still early, so he told his eldest grandson, "Go to the other side of the river and invite the man over."

When it comes to identifying things, Ming Youyou is the best. She poked the black mass with her hand and murmured, "I seem to have seen it somewhere. Oh, I should just bring the medical book."

Village Chief Guo said with a smile: "What's the big deal? Just let Ah Ren get it."

He patted his eldest grandson and said, "Hurry up, everyone is waiting."

Guo Ren sighed and ran out.

Since he was free anyway, Ming Youyou chatted with the young men who had arrested the man, "Do you know where that man dug this from?"

The young man thought for a moment and said, "It should be under the tree. When we caught him, he was digging another tree with his butt sticking up. I saw something like this buried in the soil."

Ming Youyou's eyes lit up slightly, "Do you remember what tree it was?"

The young man scratched his head. "Pine trees? Yes, they are pine trees. There are a lot of pine trees on that mountain. We even picked up a lot of pine cones."

"I know, this is Poria cocos, it likes to grow at the roots of pine trees." Ming Youyou said loudly, and with her little hand she scratched hard, and removed the black skin, revealing the white flesh inside.

"This is Poria cocos," the people around were stunned. They all knew that Poria cocos was a good thing. It could be eaten and used as medicine. The key was that it was very expensive.

"How much is a piece like this worth?" everyone asked curiously.

Ming Youyou scratched his head. "It's hard to say. This hasn't been cooked yet, but it should be the price of ten chickens."

There was a sound of people gasping all around.

Someone asked the young man, "When you arrested that man, did you bring back the piece you were digging?"

The young man was stunned. "We were so anxious to catch people that we didn't care about anything else. Besides, we didn't know what this thing was at that time."

The elders couldn't help but scold: "You spendthrift, you let more than a dozen chickens run away."

When Village Chief Guo thought about how much of the Poria cocos might have been dug up by that person, his heart ached, and he quickly asked Ming Youyou, "Do you know how to find this thing? I'll ask Dalang and the others to go with you, and we'll dig it back ourselves."

"Hey, Second Grandpa, does that mountain belong to your village too?"

The imperial court has regulations that if the hill is not one of your own village, it is okay to pick mushrooms and dig bamboo shoots there, but it is not allowed to cut down trees. I'm afraid large-scale digging like they are doing is not allowed.

Village chief Guo calmed down all of a sudden.

The mountain was originally allocated to their village, but it was quite far from the village and no one usually went there, so everyone felt bad about wasting the forest tax.

A few years ago, Village Chief Guo even looked for people from the county government for this matter. He spent a lot of money to treat them to a meal and asked them not to include this mountain in the statistics.

He regretted it so much now. Such a treasure mountain that he had just got was pushed away by them. His heart not only ached, but also hurt.

The great uncle also remembered this matter. He lit up his pipe and took a few puffs in silence. Suddenly he said, "I remember that the mountain hasn't been signed at the government office yet, right?"

Village chief Guo paused as he covered his chest with his hands. Yes, the contract was indeed not signed. He was afraid that the county magistrate would blame him, so he wanted to just leave it alone for the time being.

Seeing this, he became energetic again and said proudly: "It's okay, this mountain is ours, we can dig as much as we want."

Zheng Huan and the others were so amused by what they saw, but they still reminded him, "You'd better go to the county government office and pay the taxes you owe. Otherwise, if the government office wants to take it back, they can use this as an excuse."

Village Chief Guo thought about it and said, "Yes, yes, I will go to the county government office early tomorrow morning."

Everyone had decided on the rules, and Guo Ren finally ran back. He didn't know which book Ming Youyou would use, so he simply carried all the books on their shelf.

Village Chief Guo thought his grandson did a good job and patted him approvingly, "You can carry him back later."
