In the southwest of Shendu, there is a small mountain peak with a radius of only 20 miles and an altitude of more than 1,800 meters. But in the endless eastern plains, it is like a pillar that stands in the sky, and it is stuck in the earth. The vegetation on the mountain is luxuriant, and the giant trees at the foot of the mountain, the bamboo forest on the mountainside, and the shrubs on the mountain peaks constitute a pair of layered natural green clothes, which shades the mountain peaks tightly. There are many mammals in the mountains, and wolves, foxes, and wild badgers are infested from time to time. Above the mountainside, it is surrounded by clouds and mist all day long, like a fairy cloud scene.

There is a winding road in Lingzhi Mountain, which leads directly to the mountainside, and then there are only a few sheep intestine paths left, hidden in the bamboo forest and shrubs. There is a small gentle slope on the mountainside, the area is more than ten inclinations, more than 20 small buildings of three or four floors have been built, dozens of permanent residents, and it is also the gathering place of Lingzhi Mountain Tourist Scenic Area.

Hua Tao and Hua Xueying sat on the tourist bus in the city and went up to the mountainside. As soon as they got out of the car, a woman in a white dress and a blue dress beckoned to them. Hua Tao's mind was still on the white mist of Lingzhi Mountain, and he didn't notice Che Ruyun. Hua Xueying squinted at this plump woman: her jade face was fair and round, protruding forward and backward, her legs were slender, and although there were a few crow's feet hidden in the corners of her eyes, the overall image was still charming, mature and charming.

Hua Xueying poked Hua Tao's elbow: "Hey, that's your sister Che Ruyun, right?" Those calves are so charming! ”

Hua Tao was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look into the distance, and saw Che Ruyun standing in front of a small blue building beckoning and smiling.

"Oh, yes, those little legs are so tempting, why didn't you notice them last time?" Hua Tao deliberately joked, he ignored Hua Xueying's reaction, took a big stride, and went straight to the small building.

The blue building next to Che Ruyun is three stories high, and there is a wall courtyard frame looming behind it, a three-meter path leads directly to the front of the door, and there are several rows of small bamboos planted around it, and a black Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle is parked in front of the door.

"Sister Ru Yun, is this your home?" Hua Tao pointed to the blue building and asked with a smile.

"Yes, sister's nest. It's okay, right? Che Ruyun replied casually, her eyes crossed Hua Tao and fell on Hua Xueying, who was slowly moving.

"This is a mountain nest? How do I feel like a local tyrant's nest? Sister Ruyun, what about the eldest brother? Hua Tao asked as he looked inside the building.

Che Ruyun didn't answer, hurriedly walked in front of Hua Xueying, took Hua Xueying's little hand, and had a familiar posture: "Alas, sister, sister has been waiting for you for a long time!" Take a walk and go into the house to rest. Your eldest brother is cooking, so I'm waiting for you to come. ”

Hua Xueying also smiled, Che Ruyun's attitude was sincere, at least she didn't snub herself, so she said, "Hello sister!" ”

"Hey, Sister Xue is good!" Che Ruyun replied with a sweet smile, and Xizizi pulled Hua Xueying into the small building, but threw Hua Tao out of the door, as if Hua Tao was an insignificant person.

"Sister Ruyun, why don't I call you sister too, your face has become a little faster." Hua Tao shouted loudly.

"You didn't call sweet enough, I'm sorry, my sister is empathetic!" Che Ruyun's laughter came from inside the house.

"No, you give me back my sister, and I'll find a place to stay." Hua Tao protested loudly, but unfortunately the two women didn't pay attention to him at all and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Che Ruyun's home is very spacious, the entrance is a hall, a set of sofa chairs and coffee tables, the hall is decorated in European style, and the European-style chandelier is covered with a layer of spider webs, which has obviously not been taken care of for a long time. At the back of the hall is a corridor that blocks the view from the inside.

Hua Tao put down the bamboo basket and walked into the corridor, and a unique cave appeared in front of him.

The left front against the wall is a wood-colored staircase, spiraling upward; On the left hand is the kitchen and dining room, and on the right hand is the washroom; Directly in front is the back door, and the door is open, revealing a corner of the medicine garden. Che Ruyun was squatting in the aisle of the medicine garden, communicating with Hua Xueying softly.

Hua Tao thought about it for a while, and did not enter the garden, but turned around and walked into the kitchen. A man in a gray jacket was busy in front of the stove, with a large dark face, small eyes and a small nose, medium height, a tie, and a layer of plaster on his leather shoes.

"Big brother, busy!" Hua Tao greeted.

"Oh, Brother Hua, right?" The middle-aged man turned around, with a smile on his face, his smile was a little restrained, honest.

"I'm Hua Tao, and I'm here to visit Sister Ru Yun's Lingzhi garden."

"My name is Lu Zhishan, welcome! Ru Yun mentioned you to me, saying that you are young and promising, strong-willed, and a good person. I talked about it for days, saying why didn't you come to see her. I just came back from the Northeast today, and I heard that you were coming. No, cook a few side dishes, you are welcome. Lu Zhishan said as if pouring beans, the smile on his face never broke, as if there was no worry in his heart.

"Thank you, Brother Lu! Big brother, are you going to the Northeast to sell blood Ganoderma lucidum? Hua Tao nodded and asked, he heard Che Ruyun say in Huangtian that this year's Ganoderma lucidum harvest was abundant, but the sales were not good, and the price was much lower than in previous years.

"Yes, my eldest brother's hometown is in the Northeast, and I have a few friends who are in the medicinal herb business, so go back and take a look at the market."

"Is there a catch?" Hua Tao hurriedly asked, this is related to Che Ruyun's livelihood, and if she can't sell well, I'm afraid that this kind-hearted sister will have a hard time.

Lu Zhishan shook his head with a smile: "The harvest is not big, the main reason is that our blood lingzhi is rarely sold in the Northeast, and I don't know what the market is. ”

Hua Tao frowned slightly, it seems that the situation is not good, and it must be bad to refute face if people don't refuse, in fact, it means refusal. "Big brother, can't our Blood Lingzhi continue to grow in the ground?"

Before Lu Zhishan could answer, an answering voice came from behind him: "Alas, my sister also wants them to grow in the ground, but it can't be done." Artificial blood Ganoderma lucidum is also Ganoderma lucidum, an annual herb that must be harvested in season, otherwise it will rot in the ground. Calculating the time, after about ten days, it should all be out of the field, either sold or air-dried, and made into dried Ganoderma lucidum for preservation. ”

Hua Tao turned around and saw Che Ruyun holding Hua Xueying's little hand and walking over, and replied with a smile: "It's okay to dry Ganoderma lucidum, it's better than rotten." ”

Hua Xueying rolled her eyes: "If you don't listen to the lecture well, knock on your head!" The best medicinal effect of blood Ganoderma lucidum is the state of fresh Ganoderma lucidum, most of the essence will be lost when dried, decreasing year by year, and artificial blood Ganoderma lucidum is no different from waste products after three years. Of course, wild blood reishi can be preserved for thirty or fifty years, which is different from artificial ones. ”

Hua Tao suddenly realized, and he understood why Che Ruyun was in such a hurry to sell his blood lingzhi.

"Okay, Lao Lu, is the meal ready?" Che Ruyun asked.

"The last soup, just get out of the pot." Lu Zhishan looked at his wife and smiled.

"Okay, let's eat, Sister Axue still has to go up the mountain, and set off after eating." Che Ruyun pushed Hua Tao from the door and walked into the kitchen to serve the dishes himself.

Hua Xueying also followed up, and several people worked together, and on the table of the restaurant, six dishes and one soup were quickly placed, and a small snack was taken out.

At the dinner table, Che Ruyun kept talking about the situation on the mountain, as well as precautions and so on. She didn't know that Hua Tao was also from the mountains, and it was in the mountains, and he had also climbed the mountains that were several times higher than this, and he had fought wolves with his bare hands several times, and he was no stranger to poisonous snakes and pythons. Therefore, although Che Ruyun looked stern and nervous, Hua Tao did not think so, and ate the food on the table happily.

Hua Xueying didn't express any worries, she followed Hua Qiming to climb Lingzhi Mountain since she was a child, and it can be said that she is very familiar here, although she has not been up in recent years, but she still knows all the dangers.

"Hua Tao, before six o'clock in the evening, you must take Ah Xue's sister back, and you must go out of the bamboo sea at seven o'clock. The mountain fog here is thick, especially after seven o'clock, the fog in the bamboo sea is turbulent, it is difficult to see the five fingers when you stretch out your hand, at this time the most vicious snake in Lingzhi Mountain, the blood bamboo green, will come out to move, its poison is also called five steps down, and the wisdom is extremely high, very terrible. Especially after the death of Doctor Huashen, no one cleaned up the blood and bamboo, and it flooded. Che Ruyun advised.

Hua Tao shrugged and didn't say anything.

Che Ruyun was a little annoyed, and knocked Hua Tao's head with chopsticks: "Dead boy, did you hear it?" If you throw such a good girl into the mountains, my sister will never forgive you. ”

Hua Tao touched his head exaggeratedly: "Oh, Sister Ruyun, you see my senior sister's calm and calm appearance, it is estimated that she has climbed this small hill, it would be good if she didn't throw me into the mountain." ”

Hua Xueying giggled, she muttered a few words in Che Ruyun's ear, hooked her hand at Hua Tao, got up and walked out of the restaurant.
