Chapter 43 Sudden disaster
Zhu Yun's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he subconsciously stepped back.

Seeing his actions, Xu Baozhu couldn't help being hurt. Although she didn't expect anyone to think differently about her, his behavior still touched her. She originally planned to tease him, but now she has no more thoughts, "Okay Yes, just kidding."

She sat back in her seat, took the tweezers from the table, and helped him pick up blisters and apply medicine, but she didn't have any desire to speak.

……

Early the next morning, she took Xu Changgui into the mountain early.

In autumn, the leaves began to fall off, and the medicines also hid the heads. It was not easy to find. Before, the baskets could be filled in one day, but now they are less than half. The two of them have not found a single one for several days in a row. It's worth it, Xu Changgui's originally bright eyes dimmed in an instant, and he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

"If things go on like this, when will I save enough money?"

Xu Baozhu was a little displeased with his eagerness for quick success, but thinking about it, it was natural for people to be anxious because of their own personal affairs, so she comforted her: "Be patient, don't be in a hurry, we just pick them these days. It’s almost a tael of silver if you sell it, and don’t you want to recognize the medicine, then you can’t just recognize the valuables and ignore these little things.”

She picked up a money plant and shook it in front of his eyes, saying: "Don't look at these, they look inconspicuous, but they are very effective, no worse than Ganoderma lucidum."

Sometimes it is unintentional.

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her eyes, glanced over inadvertently, and saw a reddish-brown umbrella hanging on the mountain wall.

With sharp eyes, she recognized Ganoderma lucidum at a glance.

"The valuable item you want has arrived." Xu Baozhu patted Xu Changgui's shoulder to hint, and he was stunned after hearing the sound.

"Ganoderma lucidum, it's Ganoderma lucidum." Xu Baozhu explained, "It's a bit far away, so I can't see its appearance clearly, but for this one, it costs at least five taels of silver in the market, but it's a pity that it grows on the mountain wall, so it's not easy to get it. It's dangerous."

Xu Changgui didn't understand what her so-called appearance was, and he didn't listen to the danger she said later. He only heard that it was valuable, and his eyes lit up immediately, and he volunteered: "I'll pick it up and have a look."

Xu Baozhu hesitated for a while, but still agreed.

"wait."

She turned back to the vine forest, found a relatively long and thick vine, brought it back and handed it to Xu Changgui, "Use this."

"it is good."

Xu Changgui tied one end to his waist and the other to the tree in front of the mountain wall, and started to walk down.

The stone wall is not too high, but it is steep, and there is no place to stay. Xu Changgui barely managed to stabilize his posture by relying on his dexterous body, but the more he went down, the more slippery he went, especially since there were some moss growing on the mountain wall. , It added a lot of difficulty to their work.

Xu Baozhu's heart trembled when he saw it.

"Brother Changgui, be careful, if it doesn't work, forget it, let's see if there is anything else."

How could Xu Changgui hear her words, he could only hear the whistling autumn wind in his ears, and only that Ganoderma lucidum in his eyes.

"Five taels of silver, five taels of silver, five taels of silver."

He recited this number silently, closed his eyes and focused his mind, and speeded up, but he stepped on the moss with one step, the soles of his feet slipped, and he fell weightlessly in an instant.

"Brother Changgui!"

Xu Baozhu hurriedly pulled on the cane, she was not strong enough, she could barely stop the falling speed, but she couldn't directly pull the person up, Xu Changgui swayed from side to side on the mountain wall, precariously on the verge of falling.

"Brother Changgui, forget it if you can't get it. Check to see if there are any fulcrums around you. Go there and I'll pull you up."

Xu Changgui looked at the Ganoderma lucidum which was less than a few meters away from him, his eyes were hot, and he didn't listen to Xu Baozhu's words at all. He struggled to stabilize his figure, then saw the right moment, kicked his feet, and jumped straight to the Ganoderma lucidum.

Xu Baozhu's heart was raised in his throat.

Just crazy!

……

Seeing the person who brought up the Ganoderma lucidum, Xu Baozhu didn't feel happy, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are too dangerous. How can I explain to your father if something happens?"

Xu Changgui didn't take it seriously, "I've been used to jumping up and down since I was a child, so it's not a problem with such a small mountain wall."

He handed the Ganoderma lucidum to Xu Baozhu, and said, "Look at how much this is worth."

Xu Baozhu gave him a blank look, but she still took it and took a closer look.

This is the top grade of Ganoderma lucidum.

The handle is short and firm, the color is crimson, clear and translucent, the canopy is as thick as a finger long, and it seems to be slightly glowing under the sunlight.

Probably because it grows on the mountain wall, no one dares to take risks, and there is sufficient sunlight, which gives it a good growth environment.

That is to say, meeting someone as desperate as Xu Changgui.

Xu Baozhu handed it over and said, "When I went to the county a few days ago, I got a general idea of ​​the price. This one in my hand can sell for at least three or forty taels. It looks good and has high medicinal value."

"It's so valuable?"

Xu Changgui's eyes widened, and he felt that he had missed a lot.

"There are many types of ganoderma, red ganoderma, purple ganoderma, this one in your hand..."

She explained the classification of Ganoderma lucidum to people, and taught him how to distinguish the quality of a Ganoderma lucidum with something.

Xu Changgui was also modest, as if he had been educated.

The two of them probably divided up the share of the Ganoderma lucidum sales, and continued wandering in the mountains for a while before turning back home.

"Is it her?"

"Yes, it looks like it." The two black and fat men kept comparing the portraits.

"Damn, a little bitch, how dare you bully our Brother Zheng!"

"It's not just brother, it seems that she is spreading rumors, saying that you have an affair with Brother Zheng and his aunt." The shorter man added.

"Depend on!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, the man rushed out with a sack in his hand without thinking about anything.

Xu Baozhu obviously felt that something was wrong, but when he turned around, he was covered by a black cover, and he couldn't see anything. He could only hear a rough voice cursing, "Spreading rumors, brother Zheng."

"Let's go quickly, don't wait for people to come and it's hard to leave." Another male voice said.

After the words fell, Xu Changgui, who had lost something and went back to look for it just now, finally came back, roared when he saw this, took off the heavy objects on his body, and rushed over, wrestling with the two of them.

"Liu Ergou, what are you doing!"

"Damn, Xu Changgui, I see you don't meddle in your own business!"

Xu Baozhu felt that the name "Liu Ergou" seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a long time.

But she didn't care about these things, and those who got slack hurriedly untied the sack and joined the battle.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the two didn't want to fight, they pushed away Xu Changgui who was strangling their necks, and ran away hastily.

"How is it, are you alright?"

Xu Baozhu supported her waist, shook her head and said, "Fortunately, you came back in time, you're fine."

"Why did you offend Liu Ergou from Hehua Village? He was so ruthless?"
