Chapter 487 Grave Robbers
Zhang Xiang came running over, sweating profusely, the account book in his hand filled with dense writing:
"Boss! This year's harvest is great! We harvested 160 pigs, 320 chickens and ducks, and 800 kilograms of fresh fish.
There are also mountain products and medicinal herbs, which made a lot of money! "
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding villagers gathered around immediately, their eyes full of anticipation.
Lin Panpan stood on the millstone and said loudly:
"Tonight we'll kill two pigs and have a feast for the whole village!
The profits will be distributed among each person, and a portion will be reserved for purchasing farm tools! This year, everyone will have a prosperous year!
Cheers suddenly resounded throughout the village. Several children excitedly circled the granary, the old people laughed so hard that they wiped their tears, and the women had already started discussing the menu for tonight's banquet.
After dinner, Lin Panpan looked at Lin Feng and Lin Weihua and said, "We haven't been to the mountains for a long time. Let's find some people tonight and go for a stroll in the mountains."
There have been too many things going on recently, so Lin Panpan wanted to go to the mountains to relax.
She gently stroked the medicine hoe at her waist, turned to the people behind her who were carrying hunting rifles and said:
"This time we're heading deeper into Laolongling. I heard there's a golden thread loblolly growing on the shady side of the cliff.
That's a good herb for treating emergencies."
Lin Feng pushed the last bullet into the bullet belt and suddenly lowered his voice:
"Boss, I heard from the older generation that the golden thread parsnip always grows next to snake nests.
Last month, Hunter Wang was picking herbs there and was bitten by a bamboo snake.
"The more dangerous the place, the more treasures there are." Lin Panpan raised the flashlight, and the beam of light pierced through the thick night, illuminating the mottled moss on the rock wall.
Laolongling is a famous barren mountain behind the village. The terrain is steep and dangerous, with cliffs everywhere.
Wild animals would appear from time to time, and usually the villagers didn't dare to go up there.
But Lin Panpan knew that there were many good things hidden in this mountain, especially those wild medicinal herbs, which could be sold at a high price outside.
They carried their tools and hunting rifles, and trudged through the mountains. Lin Panpan had sharp eyes, and from time to time she would squat down and part the grass to take a closer look.
Not long after walking, she discovered a cluster of golden thread rhododendrons.
This thing looks like a small tower, with leaves stacked layer upon layer, and the rhizomes underneath are good life-saving medicinal herbs.
She quickly called someone over and used a small shovel to dig up the soil bit by bit, for fear of damaging the roots.
After walking a little further, Lin Panpan found several purple-backed amaranth plants behind a big rock.
The back of the leaves was a vibrant purple-red, making them particularly eye-catching. She happily exclaimed, "This is great! It can detoxify, and it's hard to find on the market these days!"
Everyone carefully dug out the angelica with its roots and wrapped it in wet cloth.
What surprised everyone the most was that they found several wild Dendrobium officinale in an old forest.
These dendrobiums grow on tree bark, with plump stems, and look very old.
Lin Panpan said: "This is a treasure. Let's be careful and take it back to plant it in the medicinal field."
Along the way, they also dug up seven-leaf aconite and wild Gastrodia elata. Every time they found a medicinal herb, Lin Panpan carefully put it into her backpack.
These medicinal herbs can not only be sold for money, but more importantly, they can be taken back and used as seedlings. In the future, more rare medicinal herbs can be grown in the village's medicinal fields.
Suddenly, a bear's roar was heard in the distance, followed by the howling of wolves, each one closer than the last.
Turning around, I saw more than a dozen wild wolves emerging from the woods.
Their fur was gray, and they were so thin that you could count their ribs. Their eyes glowed green in the moonlight, staring at everyone with sticky saliva dripping from their mouths.
The wolves slowly gathered around, whimpering as they walked.
Lin Panpan frowned and said, "How unlucky! How could I encounter this..."
Before Lin Panpan had time to catch her breath, a roar so loud that it hurt her eardrums came from the depths of the dense forest.
The sound of branches snapping came from far away, and a huge brown bear rushed out through the bushes.
The bear's fur was disheveled, revealing many scabbed wounds, and its left eye was bloody, as if it had been blinded by something.
It was panting and limping on its hind legs, and the sound of chaotic footsteps and shouts could be vaguely heard behind it.
Not long after, dozens of men with shotguns chased out.
The bearded man in the lead saw the blind bear, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Haha! What luck! Even if we can't dig up the treasure in the tomb today, we can still sell this blind bear for a lot of money if we beat it up!"
The man in the felt hat next to him quickly agreed, "Of course! A full-grown blind bear can fetch at least seven or eight hundred yuan, enough to feed a family for years!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they saw Lin Panpan and a group of people looking at them from the opposite side.
The bearded man narrowed his eyes, his Adam's apple rolling up and down as he swallowed, a greasy smile curling up at the corner of his mouth: "Oh, there is such a little fairy hiding in the deep mountains and old forests?"
"That's right, with delicate skin and tender flesh, even more beautiful than the girls in the brothel!" A tomb robber with a flat nose licked his lips, and air leaked through his half-missing front teeth.
"Brothers have been sleeping rough outside for so long, and they need someone to relieve their boredom..."
Before he finished speaking, the others burst into lewd laughter, and some even started to unbuckle their belts.
The brown bear suddenly growled, swung its big furry claws fiercely, and with a "snap" the tomb robber in front was slapped away.
The man screamed and hit the tree, and died on the spot.
The remaining tomb robbers were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Before they could escape, the wolves had surrounded them.
The wolf cubs bared their sharp teeth and bit the tomb robber's leg.
The person who was bitten rolled over in pain, screaming and waving his shotgun around.
A tomb robber fired at the wolves, and with a "bang" sound, the gun only hit the tree next to it.
The blind bear was not idle either. He used his huge body to slam people against the rocks and occasionally grabbed people with his claws. The scene was in chaos.
When dusk completely engulfed the forest, the tomb robbers who had managed to escape crawled into a hidden valley.
Lin Panpan crouched down and hid behind the thorn bushes, watching seven or eight figures swaying around the campfire.
These people were covered in rotten leaves and blood. Some of them were covering their bitten arms, and the bandages were oozing with black and red blood.
Someone was limping but still dragging the sack with all his strength, the hemp rope leaving deep wounds on his palms that were visible to the bone.
Two lanterns were set up in the middle of the camp. In the dim light, Luoyang shovels and crowbars were piled casually next to the tree stumps.
"Waste! All of them are fucking waste!" The scarred man with a face full of flesh kicked over the pottery jar beside him, and the fragments flew all over the wounded.
"I paid you to dig graves, who told you to provoke the blind bear?
Now more than twenty brothers have died. Who will compensate for this loss?"
The bearded man covered the scratch on his shoulder and groaned, "Boss, it's really not our fault! That blind bear suddenly appeared, followed by a pack of wolves. We couldn't just stand there and wait to die, could we?"
A weak excuse came from the corner: "That's right! If it weren't for those herb pickers blocking the way, we would have bypassed them long ago..."
