Chen Yuan folded the certificate in half, put it in his pocket and went home.

Although this thing is illegal, people's legal awareness is weak in this era and no one will pursue it.

This time, the house was robbed, which also reminded Chen Yuan that he had to make money quickly to build a house.

……

In the evening, Sun Weiwei lay next to Chen Yuan, feeling a little sorry for what happened at her parents' house today.

She felt guilty and said, "Brother Yuan, you were wronged at my mother's house today."

Chen Yuan reached out and hugged Sun Weiwei into his arms, smiling and saying, "It's nothing."

"You've suffered more injustice in our family. But it won't happen again!"

Sun Weiwei said "hmm" and felt sweet in her heart.

The two of them had been traveling all day today and were both a little tired. After a while, they fell asleep in each other's arms.

……

Chen Yuan rested until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it was sunny for several days in a row.

Sun Weiwei made some dried bacon, steamed buns made with two-grain flour, and potato pancakes, and asked Chen Yuan and the others to take them up the mountain to eat.

Hu Zi also brought food and sorghum wine from home.

This time, Chen Yuan and Hu Zi are going into the mountains together for three days. They want to take a look deep into the back mountains.

Everything is ready, so we set off.

Chen Yuanxian took a look at the trap he had dug before and found that the trap had collapsed under the heavy snow and the pit was filled with snow.

He simply gave up on the trap, and the two continued walking into the mountains.

It has been snowing heavily recently, and the roads in the mountains are difficult to walk on. When Chen Yuan was exploring the road with a spear, he marked it on the tree.

Relying on their memory, they found the cave they discovered last time.

"That's it! Let's cut down some trees and build a simple bed today."

Chen Yuan pointed to a nearby tree and said to Hu Zi.

Hu Zi received Chen Yuan's signal and immediately picked up an axe and chopped down a birch tree.

While Hu Zi was chopping trees, Chen Yuan was not idle either.

He walked around the neighborhood.

Bears hibernate in the winter, but they also come out to look for food. The last time they encountered the man-bear, it was probably out looking for food.

Chen Yuan poked the bushes with his spear, and suddenly he felt something was wrong.

It feels a little soft, like there is something inside.

Chen Yuan instantly perked up, slowly squatted down, and looked under the bushes.

I saw a snake coiled in the crevice of a rock under the bushes.

It's not as cold here as outside, and the snow is blocked by bushes, making it a perfect place for hibernation.

Chen Yuan picked up the spear, aimed it at the snake's vital point and thrust it through, piercing the entire snake.

When he was checking the snake, he suddenly found that the plant next to it looked like ginseng.

Chen Yuan didn't have a red rope, so he started digging directly. He was afraid of damaging the ginseng rhizome, so he was extremely careful when digging with the hatchet.

After shaking off the soil on the outside, a complete ginseng was dug out.

Ginseng has a rhombus-shaped body, is short, thick and pointed, and has long, sparse bark. It is obviously the best wild ginseng at first glance.

This thing is a treasure. It can prolong life and replenish vitality.

Chen Yuan carefully put the wild ginseng into his arms, then took the green snake off the wooden spear. He made sure that the green snake was dead before throwing it into the snakeskin bag. He didn't want the story of the farmer and the snake to happen again.

When he returned to the vicinity of the cave, Hu Zi had already finished chopping down one tree and was moving on to the second one.

"Tiger, guess what I got?"

Hu Zi stopped what he was doing and asked curiously, "What good stuff?"

Chen Yuan took out the wild ginseng from his arms and handed it to Hu Zi.

“This is a good thing!”

Hu Zi knew about ginseng, but he didn't know how much it could be sold for.

“Is this expensive?”

Chen Yuan nodded, "It can save lives, so I'll keep you alive."

Hu Zi was so scared that his hands were shaking, and he quickly handed the wild ginseng to Chen Yuan.

"Hey, Brother Yuan, let me hold it for you! I'm afraid I'll break it."

Chen Yuan smiled and put away the wild ginseng, then walked to the felled tree.

The bed was easy to make. He and Hu Zi processed the wood, carried it into the cave, and set up the bed before noon.

Although this double bed is a bit simple, it is sufficient for temporary rest.

The two of them took out some dry food and had a quick meal.

Hu Zi bit his steamed bread and asked, "Brother Yuan, where are we going later?"

Chen Yuan felt that if he went into the mountains, he might not be able to get back before dark, so it would be better to go directly tomorrow morning.

"Let's just take a look around here later! I just saw a gray squirrel nearby. Their skin can be sold for money."

Hu Zi nodded. Thinking about making money, he became full of energy and took another big bite of the steamed bread.

The environment in the mountains is not as good as at home, and the two of them don’t pursue quality, as long as they can fill their stomachs.

After eating and drinking, Chen Yuan picked up his hunting rifle and left the green snake in the cave so that he could put more things in it later.

These gray squirrels usually live in trees, so it takes some effort to catch them.

Chen Yuan doesn't have many tools at hand now. He wants to make a slingshot without a rubber band, and he wants to make a bow and arrow without a string.

He thought about it and could only pick up a lot of small stones to see if he could hit the target.

These small stones are everywhere. If you don't encounter gray squirrels, they are also a good choice to use them to hunt other small wild animals.

Chen Yuan took Hu Zi and walked north until they arrived at the bush where they dug wild ginseng.

He had just seen the gray squirrel nearby, but his attention was on the wild ginseng, so he didn't catch it.

At this moment, Chen Yuan came back and found that the little guy was still on the branch.

Chen Yuan took out a small stone from his pocket, aimed at the gray squirrel and threw it over.

But unfortunately, the pebble was not like a slingshot. It was somewhat out of control and not only failed to hit the gray squirrel, but also scared it away.

Chen Yuan sighed, "If only I had a slingshot, or at least a bow and arrow would be fine!"

Hu Zi scratched his head. He also felt sorry for watching the money slip away from him.

"It's okay, Brother Yuan. Let's just use stones this time. If we hit the target, we'll be considered awesome. If we don't, it's no shame!"

Chen Yuan was amused by Hu Zi. Why didn’t he find Hu Zi’s speech so interesting before?

"Okay, I'll give you some of my stones. If you see them, just hit them!"

"to make!"

……

The two continued to move forward. With the experience of digging wild ginseng just now, Chen Yuan paid special attention to places with bushes this time.

As they were walking, Hu Zi suddenly called Chen Yuan.

"Brother Yuan! Look, is that a wild boar?"

Chen Yuan looked in the direction of Hu Zi's finger and saw that it was indeed a wild boar.

Why are there so many wild boars in the mountains this year? Could it be that some large wild beast in the back mountains has forced all the wild boars out?

Chen Yuan didn’t think much about it. Since he had encountered it, it was a gift from nature!

"Hu Zi, we have to be careful of his fangs. I may not be able to kill him with one shot. You have to find the right opportunity to finish him off!"

Hu Zi nodded heavily and got ready.
