Chapter Eighty-Four: The Explorer

"But this is not entirely a bad thing, it may be that the news was known by those people in the city, and they came to explore the treasure, for more than ten days, hundreds of people came every day, most of them went in three or five miles and came out, we can earn eighteen thousand a day, and we can earn three or five thousand if we are less, which is much better than our medicine." The mountain man sighed and continued.

Hearing this, Mu Wenbin didn't answer anymore, he estimated that maybe the news was released by the villagers in their village, deliberately to attract outsiders to come, so as to earn guide fees. But he doesn't care, the purpose of my coming to Shennongjia is just to find Shennongding, and if I encounter good medicine, I will pick it by the way.

The two rested for a while and then got up and continued to move forward, they walked very fast, from the beginning of entering the mountain, they met several groups of travelers along the way, and some invited him to be together, but Mu Wenbin refused, those travelers saw that Mu Wenbin did not bring any equipment, thinking that it was estimated that he would be a burden to stay, so they didn't keep it much, and let him leave.

After walking for more than ten miles, there were fewer and fewer travelers on the road, and those who still insisted on holding on to their tents and began camping.

"Little brother, do you want to keep going?" It had been five or six miles since there were any people, and the big brother of the mountain people stopped and asked Mu Wenbin.

"Is Big Brother tired again? Then let's take a break! Mu Wenbin thought that the mountain people were tired again.

"No, little brother, it's half of the afternoon now, and we don't have any camping equipment, so we won't be able to get out of the mountain before dark." The mountain people explained.

Mu Wenbin looked at his watch, it was now 2:44 in the afternoon, and he had been in the mountain for more than four hours, and it would be dark if he walked down again, it was not that he didn't bring any equipment, but that those equipment were all in the space ring.

Just as he was about to open his mouth and let the mountain people go back by himself, he heard someone's footsteps.

Mu Wenbin looked at the source of the sound and saw a person dressed as a mountain man walking out of the mountain, and soon that person walked in front of him.

"Lao Zhang?" Seeing the person, Brother Jiang was taken aback at first, and then recognized it, this Lao Zhang, like him, is now a career guide.

"It turned out to be Lao Jiang, you also received a job? You haven't been back yet, and it looks like you've got a big job. Lao Zhang, who was walking with his head down, looked up when he heard the voice, it was an acquaintance, and then he asked in surprise: "Why are you two of you?" Don't bring gear with you either? Did everyone else go back? ”

"No, it's just the two of us, aren't we going to take a break and go back, just right, let's go together!" Brother Jiang thought that he would go back with a companion, and the road would be easier.

But Mu Wenbin saw the equipment Lao Zhang was carrying and quickly said, "This big brother, I don't know if your equipment is for sale?" ”

Lao Zhang and Lao Jiang were stunned for a moment, Lao Zhang didn't understand what it meant, but Lao Jiang figured it out at once, and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, blaming himself for being cheap, why did he say that he spit on a pit just now.

"Little brother wants my gear? Do you want to continue into the mountains? Lao Zhang thought about it for a while and figured it out.

"Yes, the eldest brother looks like you are going out of the mountain, it's still early, you will definitely be able to get out of the mountain before dark, why don't you sell the equipment to the younger brother, the price is negotiable." Mu Wenbin actually didn't need these equipment, but with these old Brother Jiang, he could continue to be a guide, and it was much easier to have a guide than to enter the mountain alone.

"Hey, what are you talking about selling, the little brother is in need, just give a deposit, and return these equipment to the eldest brother when he goes out of the mountain!" Lao Zhang didn't see Lao Jiang give him a look, and when he saw it, he had already said that the angry old Jiang wanted to scold him.

Mu Wenbin took the backpack, took out 3,000 yuan from it, handed it to Lao Zhang, and said, "Brother Zhang, this is 3,000 yuan, do you see enough?" ”

"There are too many little brothers, we don't need so much, we people in the mountains are all big and rough, it's good to have a tent to shelter from the wind and rain, these equipment only cost less than a thousand yuan, most of them are picked up in the mountains, little brother just give me a deposit of 1,000!" Lao Zhang saw so much money, and he wanted to take it but was embarrassed to accept it.

Mu Wenbin thought for a while and said: "Brother Zhang, I think your tent should be a double tent, if you don't trouble Brother Zhang to go again, you and Brother Jiang will be my guides together, so that there will be multiple companions on the way." The price is good, I give 10,000 per person every day. ”

Hearing this, Lao Jiang's face was overjoyed, the guide fee is 10,000 a day, or 10,000 per person, which is more generous than those rich people in the city, and Mu Wenbin is generous, he can take out 3,000 with just a deposit, he shouldn't be a poor person, maybe he is a low-key rich second generation, a child of a poor family, who will go into the mountains to explore if he has nothing to do.

"Okay, okay, no problem!" Lao Zhang also thought of these, today is a shit luck, a few days ago he picked up a few rich second generation from Yanjing and earned more than 30,000 yuan, but before he got out of the mountain, he met a second fool again, for fear that Mu Wenbin would regret it, and immediately agreed.

Although there is only one tent, he and Lao Jiang grew up in the mountains, and they have not slept in the mountains less, and it is not a matter of finding a big rock to survive for a few nights.

So the three of them got up and continued to walk towards the mountains together, there was one more person, and there was a lot of excitement along the way, Lao Zhang and Lao Jiang kept telling Mu Wenbin about the work they received as guides in the past few days, and also told him about the rumors of the thousand-year-old ginseng.

Mu Wenbin learned that the thousand-year-old ginseng rumor was that more than 20 explorers entered the no-man's land four months ago, and the guides they hired did not dare to go in, so they went out of the mountain first after receiving the money, and agreed to pick them up at the entrance of the no-man's land a month later. A month later, the guide arrived, and after waiting for nearly a month, the explorers came out, and there were only a few people left.

When he was camping and sleeping at night, he vaguely heard those explorers say that whoever handed over the thousand-year-old ginseng could become the first family, and when the time came, everyone would be rewarded with 100 million yuan or something, and after going out of the mountain, he gave the guide an extra 100,000 yuan, and then there was the legend of this thousand-year-old ginseng.

The guide is not from Lao Jiang's village, but they are also familiar, they are the first professional guide in their vicinity, about a week ago he took another order, and has not yet come out of the mountain, it is estimated that he has entered the deep mountains, and he will not come out if he does not find good things.

……

They also said that they have picked up a lot of travelers, explorers and medicine collectors in the past ten days, most of them have gone back to the mountains for half a day, and some of them will go all the way to the vicinity of the no-man's land, or go inside, and only a very small number of people will let the guide go back, and then enter the no-man's land by themselves, because no guide is willing to venture into the no-man's land, even if there is more money and are willing to go in, after all, there is no money to earn and spend it.

Along the way, Mu Wenbin learned that in the past ten days, there have been more than 20 waves that have entered the no-man's land, with a short one or two days coming out and a long two or three days. At present, most of them have come out, only the wave that went forward in seven days has not come out yet, and the other wave has only entered this morning, which is the wave of people led by Lao Zhang.
