Chapter 19 to serve corvee
Zhao Liya and the two were very happy, they took all of them back, and distributed some to Widow Qu by the way.
Yesterday, Zhao Liya realized that Widow Qu should really like fish.
The fish fillet and fresh shrimp porridge made for breakfast, with a handful of chopped leeks, is very delicious.
After breakfast, everyone planned to go to the field to cut bamboo, wooden sticks, and bamboo branches, and build a melon shed first. Who knew that Gu Lao Er came before they went out just after breakfast.
Seeing his couple, the Zhao family was very calm, but instead had a feeling of "It's finally here!"
"What's the matter with you two?"
Zhao Xiang is the head of the family, stepped forward and asked.
"Huh!" Gu Laoer smiled maliciously: "I just came to tell you that it's time for you to serve in corvée. The boss needs Ganoderma lucidum, and your family has two hundred-year-old ones to hand in, and the time limit is one month. Ugly words Let me start by saying that if you fail to hand in the work after the deadline, you will be punished with hard labor!"
This sudden news made the Zhao family all dismayed.
"Is there anyone else who wants to hand over this Ganoderma lucidum besides ours?"
Gu Laoer was waiting for this, and said with a sneer, "It's just your family! Your family is very capable and rich, heh, such a small matter can't trouble you, right?"
Zhao Xiang said lightly: "Okay, we will find a way by ourselves."
Gu Laoer wanted to say something at first, but Zhao Xiang's attitude made him unable to continue to play, so he gave him a hard look and sneered: "Then I will wait!"
Said Bi arrogantly left.
As soon as he left, the Zhao family's forced composure immediately disappeared.
"This is how to do ah!"
"Ganoderma lucidum that is more than a hundred years old, how can I find it here!"
"Father and mother, I will go to the mountains tomorrow to try my luck, no, I will go today."
"Oh, what a crime!"
Zhao Liya calmly said: "Father, mother, we are new here, everything will not go smoothly after all, isn't it just two Ganoderma lucidum? Let's just look for it. Since the government wants this thing, it means that it can be found, at most it is difficult. Find some."
And, just their family? She didn't quite believe it, and always felt that Gu Er Er was lying.
"Okay, Ya'er is right, madam, don't worry. Don't worry everyone. Now, Ah Ling and I will go into the mountains together to look for it."
Things have settled down, and there is no use worrying.
The Gu family is responsible for apportioning these things in Yancun, and they have no choice at all. Then just do it.
"Father, you don't need to go, I will go."
"Father, you and mother will take care of our family's vegetable garden and newly planted fruit trees at home. My brother and I will go to the mountains."
"No!" Zhao Xiang, his wife and Hu Ling said in unison.
But of course Zhao Liya will not be obedient, "Father, mother, don't worry, I'm not afraid of a few bastards, it's nothing to go into the mountains, besides, there is brother here. We won't be brave, if we can't find it , will come back as soon as possible. We still have a little money at home, at worst, we will make it up with money at that time."
What is a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?
They still have about nine hundred and ninety taels of silver, which is enough to deal with this time.
Zhao Liya has made plans. If they really find it, they will hand it over to Yu Gongcao directly, and they will never go through the hands of Gu's family. By the way, give Yu Gongcao a gift.
"No way, mother, this way the Gu family will bite us even more tightly!"
The Gu family wants to see them suffer, so they might as well show them. If you take out the money easily, the Gu family will definitely get worse!
After this matter, make long-term plans.
Zhao Liya said to Aunt Li Eleven again: "Aunt Eleven, please help me when we are away, and remind my parents of everything, you are familiar with this area, please."
Aunt Li Shiyi nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here, it's okay! You have to be careful yourself."
"Well, we will!"
Zhao Xiang and Deng Shi saw that Shi Shiran's explanation and arrangement were like a finalized matter, so they didn't know what to say for a while.
After all, they couldn't change Zhao Liya's decision, so they had to repeat the same.
Zhao Liya didn't rush to leave immediately, she had to get things done at home.
The melon shed still needs to be built, and then I will inquire with Aunt Li Shiyi about the things in the mountains here, and then I will inquire with Aunt Qu after dark
There are also clothes, shoes, medicines, food, etc. to be prepared.
There are yams in the mountains, and fish are easy to catch in the ditches. There will also be some wild fruits in the mountains during this season, which can satisfy hunger. Then fry the rice, bring more fried rice, and chew it when you are hungry, it is more hungry.
There is rice at home, and for the time being, Aunt Qu sneaks in some food from time to time. Aunt Li Shiyi said that she can bring some back to Zaihu Village, so don’t worry.
Zhao Liya didn't worry about this anymore.
The Gu family focused on seeing them in disgrace over the Ganoderma lucidum matter, so they expected that they would not come to make trouble recently.
Two days later, at dawn, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling set off with their backpacks on their backs.
Deng Shi and Aunt Li Shiyi prepared a lot of fried rice for them, carefully wrapped them in oilcloth, and then covered them with sacks.
The two of them deliberately rushed early, boiled 20 eggs in plain water, and put two tubes of cooked rice in bamboo tubes for them to bring.
The whole family watched with tears in their eyes.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling didn't feel much. They knew each other better, so they were calm.
Not to mention anything else, self-protection should not be a big problem.
Zhao Liya even had a leisurely joke: "Maybe we are lucky, and we really found a century-old Ganoderma lucidum! Well, if we do find it, let's just hide it and sell it in the provincial capital for a good price, and buy two plants with a lower age. .This job shouldn’t be too perfect, otherwise there might be something waiting for me next time.”
Hu Ling smiled: "Okay, then do it like this!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had already obtained the century-old Ganoderma lucidum.
The two of them were on their way almost all day, and they stopped in the forest at around four o'clock in the afternoon.
This area is no longer flat land and hills. The mountains are rolling and rolling, and there are countless thick trees. The trees and vegetation in the forest are luxuriant. When the wind blows, the rustling and rattling noises make people subconsciously feel that they are hiding everywhere. dangerous beast.
It took some time for the two to find a cave in the middle of a mountain where they could spend the night safely.
The entrance of the cave is not too big, but the place inside is not small.
There are many mountains and caves in the south of the Lingnan area, which is not good for survival in the wild.
Zhao Liya: "Let's first check whether the cave is safe or not, and simply clean it up. Go around and bring some firewood to deal with it first. Tomorrow, we will pick up more firewood and come back. Cut some thick branches to cover the entrance of the cave, and then get familiar with it." Surroundings, environment, go out to try your luck the day after tomorrow. We tentatively plan to stay here for three to four days and spend the night here, what do you think?"
This arrangement is very comprehensive, Hu Ling nodded: "OK!"
