Chapter 21 Big Harvest!
The trees are dense and lush.
The sun shines into the mountain forest in the morning, and through the branches of the trees, only mottled golden light spots remain.
Chu Shan's little face turned red, he was carrying two pheasants on his back, and his mouth almost burst from laughter.
smoothly!
Everything went so well!
Not long after entering the mountains, Chu Liang led him to find a nest of pheasants, and he caught two of them.
Chu Shan had never dared to think of such a wonderful start before.
After all, even Zhao Hu and his group often failed to gain anything.
"Brother Liang, can we tame these pheasants?" Chu Shan suddenly became curious and turned to ask Chu Liang.
"Not easy."
Chu Liang shook his head and said, "If you really want to raise them, you can go to the county town and sell them, and then buy some grain and chicks."
"Oh, I see."
"Let's go, it's just the beginning of the day, please concentrate."
Chu Liang walked in front, using his hunting knife to chop at the low vegetation in front of him.
With the Treasure Hunter, this mountain forest is his back garden.
The treasure-hunting rat will help Chu Liang detect the hiding places of his prey, and will also search for rare herbs and possible treasures in the mountains for Chu Liang.
From now on, as long as Chu Liang is free, he can go into the mountains to harvest at any time.
"Have I truly achieved the goal of 'supporting the mountain and eating the mountain'?" Chu Liang not only thought secretly in his heart.
Next, Chu Liang led Chu Shan and captured many prey one after another.
There were more and more prey behind Chushan, including rabbits, foxes, badgers, mountain rats, etc. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely and his body was trembling, but his spirit was extremely high.
In the afternoon, before returning, Chu Liang caught two black snakes.
"I've never eaten snake meat before, let's try what it tastes like."
Chu Liang squeezed the two small snakes hard and killed them, then threw them into his bag.
On the side, Chu Shan was stunned and didn't even blink.
So fierce!
When he saw these two snakes just now, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
But Chu Liang acted like a normal person, his face didn't change at all, he didn't even use the snake catching tools, he just grabbed it with his hands!
"Brother Liang, how can you be so powerful? I want to be as powerful as you!"
"Take your time, don't rush."
Chu Liang patted the dust on his hands, turned around and walked back.
In the bag behind him, two black snakes were dead, but their bodies were still twisting.
Chu Shan's scalp was numb when he saw it, and he quickly looked away and followed Chu Liang.
After a while, he realized that Chu Liang was not going down the mountain, so he asked, "Brother Liang, aren't we going back?"
"Well, let's go dig some herbs first."
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Chu Liang stopped.
He held the hunting knife and began to cut down the surrounding weeds and shrubs to clear an area.
Chu Shan said curiously: "Brother Liang, there are no herbal medicines here."
"Look directly in front of you, under the big tree, there are several herbs among the dead leaves. Look carefully."
"Oh, that...that's..."
Chu Shan rubbed his eyes, took a few steps forward, and looked over carefully.
Next to the roots of the big tree in front, among a pile of rotten branches and leaves, there were five or six short herbs with dark purple leaves growing.
On the surface of its leaves, there are criss-crossing golden-red lines, like soft silk, with a touch of indescribable luxury.
Soon, Chu Shan's eyes widened.
"Brother Liang, this...is this golden grass?"
"Yes, it's golden grass."
Golden thread grass, also called golden nectar, can dehumidify and detoxify, and is extremely expensive in this world.
The value of the five or six golden grasses in front of them was completely worth the old wild ginseng that the second uncle gave to Chu Liang.
This herb generally grows in deep mountains and old forests, often in moist and dark places, making it difficult to find, even for experienced herb collectors.
Chu Liang slowly squatted down and used a small tool to slowly clean up the dead branches and leaves around the herbs, and finally dug them out one by one.
"Ah Shan, take it back to your second uncle." Chu Liang stood up and handed the bag containing the golden grass to Chu Shan.
"Brother Liang, this is too precious, I can't have it." Chu Shan shook his head hurriedly.
"It's for your father, not for you. Why are you rejecting it? Are you your father?"
"I……"
Chu Shan blushed and didn't know what to say, so he had to accept it.
He hung the bag carefully on his body, fearing any damage.
These golden thread grasses can be sold for more than two taels of silver.
For ordinary villagers, this is a huge fortune that can only be dreamed of!
"Brother Liang, how did you find out?" Chu Shan became more and more curious. He felt that Chu Liang was like a prophet, knowing everything in the mountain well.
"I discovered them early and was just waiting for them to mature."
Chu Liang thought of an excuse casually.
He turned around and said as he walked: "Let's go, it's time to go down the mountain."
"oh oh."
Chu Shan followed immediately.
In the evening, the sun is setting.
The two went down the mountain and returned to the village, once again causing quite a shock in the village.
What they gained was so much that it made people jealous!
"Are those Ah Liang and Ah Shan from the Chu family?"
"Yes, it's the two brothers!"
"My dear mother, did they catch too many prey?"
Seeing the large number of prey behind Chu Liang and Chu Shan, the villagers were all shocked, and their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
This was followed by a sound of envy and swallowing.
If it was just Chu Liang, they wouldn't be so shocked, but they saw Chu Shan.
"When did that boy Ashan learn to hunt?"
"No need to ask, A Liang must have taught him!"
"The prey behind him, shouldn't they be his own harvest?"
Hearing the envious voices around him, Chu Shan felt more and more happy and wanted to run to his yard immediately to show his parents what he had gained today.
Chu Liang was very calm and automatically filtered the words of those around him.
The setting sun was setting in the west, stretching the shadows of the two people very long.
It was dinner time when smoke rose from every house.
At this time, the fourth uncle was at the gate of the courtyard, chatting with the fifth uncle about home affairs.
"Lao Wu, that boy of mine should be back soon." Fourth Uncle said proudly, "He got a deer leg and a piece of ribs yesterday. I don't know if there will be any harvest today."
"Fourth brother, your child has a lot of potential."
Uncle Wu was envious.
In the village, everyone hopes that their children will have a bright future.
If a child is promising, his face will shine, and he will be able to hold his chest high when communicating with outsiders.
"Fourth brother, can you let my boy follow Zhao Hu?" Fifth uncle couldn't help but ask, "My boy is not young anymore. If he doesn't have skills, he will have to farm for the rest of his life."
"Don't worry, I will talk to Zhao Hu!"
The fourth uncle laughed and said: "Lao Wu, I am different from the second brother. The second brother always only thinks about himself, but I always think about everyone!"
"I know."
Uncle Wu looked grateful and nodded repeatedly.
He originally wanted to find Chu Liang.
But he hesitated for a moment, observing the recent changes in the two juniors Chu Shan and Chu Qiang, and found that it was useless to look for Chu Liang... After all, Chu Shan had not even entered the mountains, and Chu Qiang was already able to harvest prey.
"Second brother probably regrets it too, right?"
The fourth uncle was smug, with a smile on his face. He glanced at the yard of the second uncle's house and said, "I went to see the second brother this morning. The second brother didn't have anything to say. I knew he was feeling uncomfortable!"
"yes."
Uncle Wu nodded in agreement.
"Alian, that kid is too unreliable. Fortunately, fourth brother, you..."
Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly trembled, and his eyes stared straight at the entrance of the village, with an incredible expression on his face.
Fourth uncle felt confused and followed his gaze.
"Lao Wu, what are you looking at?"
