You are unlucky and I am tough

"Gone, really gone."

"Great, we're saved."

The villagers escaped death and were all sweating coldly. Some of them could not hold their weapons and their legs were shaking.

Then they all exclaimed in amazement, praising Wei Qinglang for his courage and archery skills.

Cheng Shuang's palms were full of sweat. The situation just now was indeed dangerous. If she was not careful, it would be a life-and-death fight.

She looked at Wei Qinglang. He had the space as his last life-saving talisman. His previous series of actions were entirely a gamble for these villagers.

Although he was confident because he had a trump card, there were six wild wolves on the opposite side, so his psychological quality was quite strong.

The villagers were all agitated. Wei Qinglang spoke calmly, "Wolves are very vengeful, so I didn't actually shoot them just now. But there's no guarantee they won't come back. Let's get out of here quickly."

When everyone heard this, they quickly packed up their things and continued on their journey without stopping.

Although they were very tired, they did not dare to stop. They walked until the moon was at its highest point in the sky and only stopped to rest when they found a cave.

Wei Qinglang took a few people into the cave to check it out. It was more than twice as big as the cave they had spent the night in before. It was very dark and damp, but it was safer than sleeping in the woods.

After making sure there was no danger, everyone entered the cave to rest, picked up firewood, made a bonfire, and sat around to eat and replenish their energy.

They talked in low voices, and their faces looked very tired in the firelight.

Those whose food was snatched away by baboons during the day could only share it with others. Cheng Shuang also shared her dry food with them. She ate less, so she had the most left over.

There were baboons and wolves all day long, and even though there were people on guard, no one slept well that night.

As soon as the next day dawned, they continued on their journey without delay. Everyone wanted to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

The compass only indicated an approximate direction. The road out of the mountain that Wei Qinglang led was completely different from the road into the mountain.

Although they were in a hurry along the way, the villagers still observed their feet along the way.

He was lucky enough to have Feng Tiegen discover a ginseng, and Cheng Shuang had been looking at it for more than fifty years after digging it out.

However, she did not tell it in front of the villagers. She told Feng Tiegen secretly later when no one else was paying attention, for fear that he would not know the year when selling it and would be cheated.

After walking for several hours, the team unexpectedly encountered a crack in the sky.

Two steep mountain walls stand tall and face each other, leaving only a narrow passage about two meters wide in the middle.

Because the mountain walls were too high, the sun's rays could not reach the bottom, and moss grew everywhere on the mountain walls.

A group of people passed through the narrow gap in the sky, looking up and exclaiming in amazement at the wonderful creation and grandeur of nature.

At the same time, the mountain breeze blew through the passage, bringing a hint of coolness, making everyone who had been exposed to the sun for a whole morning feel refreshed physically and mentally.

Someone suggested that they take a rest here for a while. Wei Qinglang looked around and made sure there was no danger, so he nodded in agreement.

Cheng Shuang found a rock and was about to sit down to rest, but unexpectedly discovered that there were many calamus growing at the bottom of the rock wall, extending all the way along the mountain wall.

She immediately took out a small shovel, squatted down, dug up one, and then said to everyone, "Look, this is calamus, it can remove dampness and soothe the stomach, and can also treat tinnitus and insomnia. It is also one of the key medicinal herbs for treating epilepsy.

In short, its medicinal value is quite high, and any pharmacy will buy it. A pound is worth about ten coins, and everyone can dig it up and take it back home. "

When the people who originally wanted to take a rest heard this, they no longer felt tired and took out their tools and started digging.

Wei Qinglang helped Cheng Shuang dig. After digging about three pounds, Cheng Shuang said that was enough and left the rest to others.

After washing his hands with the water in the bag, Cheng Shuang sat down to rest, looked up at the narrow sky above his head, and then began to scan the towering cliffs on both sides, wanting to see if there were other medicinal herbs growing on the cliffs.

This time she did find something, but it was too high up and she wasn't sure.

Turning around, she saw that everyone else was busy digging calamus. She called Wei Qinglang over and used his height as a cover, then quickly bought a telescope from the mall.

When Cheng Shuang looked through the telescope, she was shocked. It really was a big Ganoderma lucidum.

The exact size cannot be confirmed, but the cap is semicircular with slightly curled edges and a bright and warm color.

Cheng Shuang's heartbeat accelerated instantly. She quickly pulled Wei Qinglang down and whispered this to him.

Wei Qinglang looked up in surprise, squinting his eyes to see carefully. There seemed to be an umbrella-shaped object about seven or eight floors above the ground.

"Is it really Ganoderma lucidum?" Wei Qinglang asked in a low voice.

Cheng Shuang put away the telescope and nodded: "I saw it clearly, that head, even if it's not a hundred years old, it's close to it."

Shocked again, Wei Qinglang looked up again. Last time, he was lucky enough to pick a Ganoderma lucidum in the old forest, and sold it for eighty taels in just over four years.

If it lasts for a hundred years, how much would it be worth?

"But the mountain wall is so high, how can we pick it?"

Cheng Shuang also felt very troubled. Besides, there were more than a dozen villagers here, and the two of them had no way to pick it secretly.

After observing the surrounding environment, the two of them whispered to each other and finally decided to pick the Ganoderma lucidum.

But this requires the help of everyone, and they can't let these people help for nothing.

The two discussed this issue for a while before Wei Qinglang turned to the villagers who were digging for calamus and shouted, "Everyone, stop for a moment. We've made a discovery here."

The villagers quickly stopped what they were doing and gathered around. Cheng Shuang raised her hand and pointed upwards, saying, "I found a Ganoderma lucidum and want to pick it. I need everyone's help."

"Ganoderma lucidum???"

"Where, where?"

"Does Ganoderma grow on mountain walls?"

The villagers all looked up and began to search, and soon someone shouted excitedly.

"There, there, isn't it? There's a round thing."

"Where is it? What does Ganoderma lucidum look like?"

"It seems so. I saw it too."

"Oh my god, it's so high, how can I pick it?"

The villagers were so excited after discovering the Ganoderma lucidum that it was difficult to calm down quickly. After a while, the scene gradually quieted down. At the same time, everyone thought of a problem: it was impossible to pick the Ganoderma lucidum from such a high position.

Xu Daqing asked doubtfully, "Sister-in-law, it's so high, how do you expect us to help you? We can't climb up this cliff."

Cheng Shuang pursed her lips and said, "I've already thought of a solution, but before I start, there are some things I need to make clear.

I discovered this Ganoderma. Based on the price of Daliang Ganoderma, I estimate that this big one can sell for two thousand taels. If you are willing to help,

She held up a finger and said, "I'll take out a thousand taels and divide it equally among the fifteen of you."

Everyone exclaimed: "One thousand taels!!!"

"Then how much money can each person get?"

"Fifteen people, sixty-six taels and sixty-six each." Wei Qinglang replied.

Then, continuing what Cheng Shuang hadn't finished, he said, "This money is for Cheng Shuang and I to hire everyone to help us. After we get out of the mountains, I will write you an IOU and give you the money within ten days.

If you agree, get started. If you don't agree, just pretend we never said anything and let this Ganoderma lucidum stay here."

"No, we agree. Of course we agree." Cheng Fu was anxious. "Ganoderma was discovered by my sister-in-law, and she is willing to give us so much money. How can we not agree?"

"Yeah, tell us what to do. We have plenty of work to do."

The others nodded and asked what they should do.

Cheng Shuang looked at everyone and said, "The first step is to cut down trees. There is a poplar forest outside the area where we just came from. Cut down trees that are about the thickness of a bowl, like the small bowls we use for eating at home. Remove the branches and leaves and carry them over here."
