Chapter 36 Cone

Lelang used the knife to turn the skin of the snake's head, cut a slit, and pulled it with his hand. The whole snake skin came down smoothly, and he cut it at the tail of the snake. Then he took out the gallbladder, removed the internal organs, and took out the snake meat. His skillful technique was very impressive. Dazzled.

After putting the cut snake meat into bags together with the snake skin and snake gallbladder, Le Lang dug for ginseng again. There was only a vague fishy smell floating in the air in the dark forest. Dian was still lying on the open ground, dozing off. Everything that had just happened was like a farce, and was gone.

Seven or eight grown men started working very quickly. It didn't take long before they dug up all the ginseng. Lao Liu counted it and found that there were only twenty or thirty ginseng. He scratched his head and couldn't think clearly. I remember that he seems to have planted more ginseng than these. Could it be that this ginseng really ran away on its own like the legend said? After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to, turned around and led everyone to another forest, where he There are also some ginseng planted, but not as much as in this area.

When we arrived at the place, everyone spread out and told each other to be careful. Otherwise, if a big guy like that suddenly appeared again, it would be over.

Among the dense trees, although some withered and fell leaves as winter entered, some were still green and attractive. Le Lang used a stick to open up a pile of grass, and suddenly found a ginseng next to a towering tree. He hurriedly walked over I pulled up the weeds and saplings next to the ginseng, and got down to dig.

"Ouch." Suddenly something fell from the tree and hit his head, causing him to cry out in pain. What the hell? Le Lang looked up and saw that it was nothing, then he looked down again.

"Hey", he picked up the thing that fell on the ground with one hand and took a look. The sea urchin-like shell had cracked, revealing a thumb-sized cone chestnut. Lelang was dumbfounded when he saw it. He looked up and saw the tall tree trunk. There were no leaves in sight, so he walked closer to the tree and observed it before confirming that it was a thorn castanopsis.

Castanopsis thorns are not uncommon. Because the wood is dense and hard, resistant to moisture, and not eaten by termites, most of the hoes, shovels, guns, spears, and sticks used in rural areas in southern Fujian are made of castanopsis branches. The fruit of castanopsis is a cone. , Trichosanthes trichosanthes, or Trichosanthes acuminata.

The chestnut fruit is very small, but very delicious. It is almost the most delicious of all chestnuts. However, as far as Le Lang is concerned, he still likes to eat chestnuts because the chestnuts are so big that eating one can eat several chestnuts. It was so hard to break it apart. When Lelang took a closer look, he realized that it was a thorn forest, and the ground was sparsely covered with fruits.

Holy shit, I'm getting rich now. Looking at all this, Le Lang thought with eyes wide open. He hurriedly dug up the ginseng, walked over and called people over to help. It happened that Naruto, Lao Qi, A Cong and a few others He didn't find ginseng resting aside, so he called them over.

He asked Acong and Naruto to pick up chestnuts on the ground, and he and Lao Qi climbed up the tree to shake them. Although there were already some on the ground, there were still many hanging on the tree. After a while, the monkeys also came over. Seeing the trichosanthes on the ground, he quickly helped to pick them up. Naruto told him that everyone would have a share in these things later, but not those who didn't contribute, otherwise based on the monkey's personality, he would probably turn around and find a place to rest. , this guy only had three minutes to do something. After digging a ginseng root, he didn’t want to dig anymore. He pretended to sit aside and rest, which made people catch him.

As a last resort, the monkey had no choice but to pick up the chestnuts. Although he didn't want to do it, he was glared at by Naruto and stopped talking. Unexpectedly, the monkey couldn't pick up the chestnuts for a while and shouted loudly: "Russula..."

Just as Lelang climbed down the tree, he saw the monkey yelling over there. He thought something happened again, so he ran over quickly, but found that he was fine. He frowned and asked, "What's the matter, monkey?"

elder brother?"

"Russula." The monkey didn't answer him, but pointed to a corner next to the tree and shouted.

Le Lang looked over and found several red mushrooms with vermilion caps and white handles growing next to the castanopsis tree.

Most of these red mushrooms grow between the root systems of mulberry and castanopsis trees. They are harvested in summer and autumn. They are extremely rare. They taste and smell very good, but after chewing, they gradually taste spicy and minty. Due to the limited growth conditions,

Therefore, the price of wild red nuggets in the market is very expensive. Now they are priced at about four to five hundred yuan, and the higher quality ones are even more expensive.

The reason why the monkey was surprised was not because of the price of red mushrooms, but because there were actually red mushrooms in this place. Moreover, at this time, red mushrooms usually grow in summer and autumn when the weather is hotter. In winter, they are basically gone.

I didn't expect it to be available here. Monkey has also eaten this thing. He thinks the taste is just so-so, but the price is very expensive. As for nutrition, he used to be so thin, and he didn't feel fat after eating it.

"What's it called? Just take a bag and dig it up. Here, this bag is for you. You don't have to pick up chestnuts, just dig up Honggu." Lelang saw the monkey's appearance and said to him angrily, this kid

He likes to make a fuss when nothing happens, and it's probably not the yellow armor that frightened him just now. If he really goes back like this, he has to be frightened.

Naruto restrained the monkey from behind, and then he and Acong continued to pick up things. Although it was no longer Honggu's growing season, the monkey still picked up a small bag, and some of it was even withered, but the monkey was happy

He was showing off to a few people with a bag of red mushrooms in his hand, which made Le Lang annoyed, so he confiscated the Honggu in his hand and called it "escrow".

The monkey looked at him with a resentful look.

Everyone worked quickly, and it didn't take long before they picked up two big bags, not counting the ones that Le Lang was greedy for. After the few of them picked up chestnuts here, only Lao Liu and Shen Min were left digging ginseng in the woods.

, but they still dug up a few trees, and finally counted them

Next, everyone dug a total of about 40 ginseng trees, and also harvested two large bags of chestnuts and a small bag of russula. It seemed that the harvest today was not small. Seeing that it was still early, everyone walked slowly with chestnuts on their backs.

Go back and see if you can hunt some game on the way.

The winter wind was howling, the trees were green, and the ground was covered with patches of withered weeds and leaves. As the group was walking, suddenly there was a sudden sound of partridges in the grass on the roadside.

The monkey was very excited after hearing this, thinking that the guy he had been holding for a whole day was finally going to open his business. Without any explanation, he walked slowly towards the grass, pointed the crossbow at the place where the partridge made the sound, and shot it. With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow was instantly released.

The partridge disappeared into the grass and made no sound anymore.

The monkey was so happy that he pushed away the grass impulsively. Just as he was about to walk in, he heard a scream.

"ah……"

The screams were as shrill as a castrated piglet, feeling like there was no hope in life and an unfair accusation against God.

The monkey covered his eyes with one hand and ran out quickly. Suddenly, everyone's eyelids twitched, and they saw a group of black things flying out of the grass.

"Wasp, everyone, run quickly." The sharp-eyed Lao Liu shouted when he saw the flying thing, and ran out first. When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to slack off, and they used all their strength to fly.

ran out,
Chapter completed!
