C102 Uphill Together

Thirty-four taels, what sort of concept was that?

This silver could be used to build a large courtyard like the one Linn Changxi had, or it could be used to purchase five or six acres of good paddy fields, which was more than enough to house many properties that were worth a lot in the eyes of the villagers.

But according to Hemai's wish, if she wanted to acquire a decent house in the town, she would be lacking a lot.

Last time, when the two of them came back from Clear River Town, they had stopped at the Dental Hall and inquired about the price of a decent house in the town.

It would cost at least two hundred taels of silver to enter the mansion, not to mention the fees that would be paid to the bank and the miscellaneous handling fees.

Besides, once they entered such a mansion, they wouldn't be able to earn a living by hunting and raising Bamboo Rats, right?

At that time, he would have to find another way out, or run some small businesses, or rent more land to the tenants.

Therefore, no matter if they wanted to run a small business or buy a decent house in the town, it was not as simple as it sounded.

At the moment, he still had to earn enough money to carefully consider his future plans.

After signing with the Purchaser Soong on the Bamboo Rats' plan, the two of them found some time on the morning of the third day to bring the Blacky up the mountain.

Liulang and the Purchaser Soong talked for a long time inside the house. Not only did they talk about buying the Bamboo Mouse, they also talked about the matter of Purchaser Soong begging the Liulang for help.

He knew that the Liulang was a hunter of the Xiaoqing Village and he also knew that he was experienced and sharp. That was why he asked Liulang that day if he could find a medicinal herb for him the next time they went up the mountain —

Gold Shift grew up in a narrow region around the mountainside. It was a place with a cheerful backlit sound, but Xiaoqing Village was a flat terrain, so it was difficult to find a place to do so.

Purchaser Soong had asked many people to find the wild gold but none of them were able to do anything. His family's grandmother urgently needed this medicine to keep her life, so she could only place her last hope on Liulang.

Previously, Liulang had studied medicine together with Hemai, so he knew about the smell of medicine. He recalled the smell in his mind, and remembered seeing this medicine in the middle of the mountain.

Thus, he agreed to Purchaser Soong's request to go up the mountain in two days to investigate, and after Hemai heard about it, he rubbed her hands together, wanting to go up the mountain with Liulang to look for medicine.

Liulang had previously promised Hemai that when the time was right, he would bring her up the mountain to hunt. And this time, it was a good opportunity.

This time, their main goal was to harvest the herbs, and then to hunt. They wouldn't be too far away from the mountainside, so their risk was not high. The Blacky had also grown up gradually, giving off a mighty and valiant vibe. This time, gathering and hunting herbs was also a good opportunity for them to gain experience.

It was the golden season for hunting, as the weather was approaching from the height of summer to the beginning of autumn.

It had rained the day before yesterday, and they were both wearing straw sandals when they came up the hill.

Normally, Hemai and the Liulang would have walked this path more than a hundred times, but today, on this mountain, Hemai felt extremely nervous and excited.

"Do bear paws count as the most valuable thing?" Hemai asked the Liulang.

Liulang thought for a moment and replied, "Not really. Bear paws and the like were mostly served at the restaurant's table as delicacies. No matter how expensive the food is, it can't compare to those that are of use. "

Hemai asked: "A bear paw costs five taels of silver! What is more valuable than this? "

The Liulang turned his head to look at her, "Bear gall. The most precious thing about a bear is bear gall. Also, tiger bones, wolf skins, and deer antlers are much more expensive than bearpalm gold. "

Hemai nodded in realization, "I got it! Those that can be used for medicine are the most valuable ones. Those that can be eaten can only be used to satisfy the appetite in the stomach.

Liulang looked at her with praise, "That's right."

Hemai seriously lowered her head and thought for a while, and suddenly looked at the forest in front of him with a face full of fear, "Then we must meet some prey today. You said there were deer on the mountain, right? We have to run into one of them. "

Liulang smiled gently, but did not say a word.

Their main purpose for coming here today was to gather herbs, so they would not be alarmed when they met a few hare hens. They could only wait until they had reached the mountainside to search for some gold coins and then trade for them.

The Blacky was especially obedient today, and its eyes were sharp and alert. Its ears were also placed on its back, and it followed closely behind Hemai's feet.

When they arrived at the place that Liulang remembered as a place where there was no exchange of gold, the two of them had already traveled for more than four hours.

However, the two of them searched up and down, but didn't find anything.

Liulang carefully inspected the plants around him, a look of helplessness appearing on his face, "He was probably taken by someone else."

Hemai was astounded, but she could understand why.

Even though it was rare to see villagers in the Small Green Mountain, it did not mean that there were no foreign herb gatherers or hunters within the Small Green Mountain.

After passing through this Small Green Mountain, one would reach the Barbarian Cow Mountain in the distance. At the foot of the Barbarian Cow Mountain was the small Barbarian Village.

After passing through the Barbarian Cow Village, they would arrive at the Heavenly Maiden Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there was another group of villages …

Jin Buying this herb was extremely rare. Although it grew in the middle of the mountain, it was extremely difficult to obtain due to the special conditions in which it grew. Therefore, its value was quite expensive.

Therefore, many herb gatherers would rather climb several mountain ranges and travel for ten days to half a month. As long as they could obtain this herb, their journey would be worthwhile.

"I'm afraid there won't be any more money in the vicinity." The Liulang said, "But I still want to look around. Hemai, is your body still able to take it?"

"I have no problems," Hemai said straightforwardly. "Don't worry about me."

Even though Hemai said that everything was fine, Liulang still chose to rest in the forest for a while before continuing on her journey.

Walking west around the mountainside was not a simple task.

It had just rained yesterday, and the mountain road was still muddy, so it was extremely difficult to walk on. Fortunately, the weather wasn't too cold, and after a while of sitting and resting, his body felt warm.

They hurried on, after walking around the Small Green Mountain for less than two hours, they suddenly saw Blacky roaring fiercely.

The back legs of the Blacky aroused the vigilance of the Liulang and Hemai. The Liulang nocked an arrow with his bow, and Hemai also took out a small machete to defend herself.

A brown shadow swept up from the grass in front of him and ran deeper into the mountains.

"Bear?" Hemai asked worriedly.

Before the Liulang came, he told her that wild beasts were rare on the mountainside, but the brown bear was a brainless beast. It was unknown if it would run towards the mountainside just to catch its prey, so it was better to be careful.

Liulang looked at it a few times, and said decisively: "It's not a bear, it's a musk deer."

"Swertia?"

Without waiting for Hemai to explain, the Liulang sent a order to the Blacky, "Blacky, chase him!"

The Blacky's figure quickly turned into a ray of black light and left from the mountains. Liulang grabbed Hemai's hand, "Let's go!"

Although the two of them had some time and were fast, it was not easy for them to catch up with the wild animals in the mountain.
