Chapter 132: Wangshan Run to Death

After everyone in the village left, Gu Mingwei couldn't help but ask, "Where did you hear about the village cadres selling grain privately?"

Gu Mingyue casually said, "I have a junior high school classmate who lives in a nearby village. I happened to meet him today and chatted with him for a while. Otherwise, how could I know these things?"

Gu Mingwei thought about it and it made sense. At first he thought that Mingyue made up these stories to fool the villagers so that they would cherish their food.

When I learned that it was true, I became even more worried.

He turned around and said, "Dad, why do I feel like this situation is not right..."

People who work in the fields for food value the things in the fields particularly.

Nowadays, without waiting for anything to happen, everyone starts scrambling to sell food and even waste it.

Gu Guoqiang sighed, "Alas, farmers don't cherish food. God will punish them. It seems that this is what the prophecy means. We can't help but believe it now, so let's make preparations early."

After saying this, he continued to instruct, "Boss, tell the villagers to hurry up and dig the canal. Also, keep it confidential. Increase patrols and have them expand the patrol area by 200 meters. If any strangers appear, they must come back and report. This is to prevent someone with a big mouth from telling others about our village's hypocritical behavior. That would be a big trouble."

"I know, Dad."

Gu Mingyue reminded him, "Brother, my classmate said that he resells all the grain in their village. He also asked me if I want to buy some. The price is cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative. Why don't you talk to Brother Wu and withdraw the money from the village account to buy the grain in advance and store it."

Gu Mingwei hesitated a little, "Should I hold a meeting to discuss this with everyone?"

Gu Mingyue disagreed. "Brother, if you believe me, don't tell anyone. Just say hello to a few village officials. This grain can only be regarded as life-saving food for the village. Don't let the news leak out unless it is absolutely necessary. We are still uncertain whether the prophecy is true or not. Some people are still hoping for the best and think that we are making a fuss out of nothing. If we tell anyone, they will definitely stop us and it will delay things."

Gu Mingwei felt that what Mingyue said made sense, and he did not forget to confirm again, "Can your classmates guarantee it?"

"It's absolutely true. There are many people selling grain, and some of them are hard to sell now. Otherwise, you can't ask me. But who can guarantee that the price will not increase in a few days? We still have to hurry up."

Gu Mingwei agreed and said, "Okay, I'll talk to your fifth brother right away."

"Should we buy some for home as well?" Gu Mingyue asked.

"If there is a lot, you can buy them all together, just in case. Anyway, you can never have too much food. But you have to tell your sister-in-law, because she is in charge of the family's money." Gu Mingwei said.

"Okay. I'll go later. My sister-in-law is still angry."

Gu Mingwei thought about the story just now and felt his throat itchy. He couldn't help but glared at Gu Mingyue and said, "You are asking for it."

Gu Mingyue shouted in disbelief, "Brother, don't you feel guilty for crossing the river and destroying the bridge?"

Gu Mingwei replied firmly, "No, I'm not like some people who are mean and play tricks on others. I have a good conscience."

Gu Mingyue snorted and walked away guiltily.

This made Uncle Gu and Brother Gu burst out laughing.

The amount of food that Gu Mingyue bought for free this time was much more than what she had bought from Boss Zhou before.

They were all free stuff, and the supplies she had saved up now were definitely enough.

Gu Mingyue naturally didn't mind doing a favor and selling part of it to the villagers at a lower price.

Unlike the end of the world, even if everyone died and she was the only one left, it wouldn't affect anything.

In this era, honor and disgrace are shared. It is pure delusion for you to indulge in individualism.

Gu Mingyue had long been aware that she and Gujia Village were in a relationship of mutual dependence.

Fortunately, the villagers are quite sensible.

Her uncle's family also protected her very much.

It's worth her helping out, so she would make some appropriate concessions, such as reselling at a low price this time.

But it's impossible to ask her to give it away for free. She still has some sense of propriety.

At midnight, Gu Mingyue was full of energy and ready to go...

Not only because the treasure hunt is about to begin.

What excited her most was that all the jade she had collected these days was not in vain.

At the critical moment, she herself was finally able to enter the space freely.

It made her more confident about the next journey.

Following the route learned from Uncle Lin, we took a detour from the back mountain into the depths of the forest.

During the journey, Gu Mingyue was not idle either.

Wild walnuts, harvest.

Wild grapes, harvest.

Soft dates, harvest.

Black day, collect.

It really is a journey of harvesting along the way......

The deeper you go into the woods, the more you can pick.

Maybe because few people have set foot here, the wild resources are very rich.

In the meantime, they caught two pheasants and five rabbits.

It’s no wonder that the villagers didn’t dare to go in. She had already encountered two groups of wild boars, a tiger and a bear along the way.

Fortunately, she could enter the space, otherwise, she would have to go back home.

It was impossible for him to go in there at the risk of his life, even with anesthesia, Mu Cang didn't dare to do so.

The best thing about space is that you can still detect the situation outside even if you hide inside.

She didn't dare to reach out to the tiger, but she could reach out to the wild boar.

While the two big wild boars in front were not paying attention, he secretly put the two small ones following behind into the space.

The wild boar family didn't notice it at all and was still strolling leisurely...

When Gu Mingyue entered the mountain, she looked toward the top of the mountain and didn't feel it was very far away.

I thought we could go there and come back quickly, so one night should be enough.

Only then did they climb the mountain leisurely while collecting mountain products.

But after walking for a long time, I still couldn't see the end.

I finally understand what "running a dead horse over a mountain" means!

I looked at the time and it was almost three in the morning.

No, if we go any further, we may not be able to get back to the village before dawn.

Finally decided to leave a mark, return the same way, and continue tomorrow night.

We have already gone deep into the mountains, so of course we can’t make this trip in vain.

Where there is space there is confidence.

On the way back, there are some places that you just missed that you can take a good look around.

Oh my god, a furry head suddenly appeared on the tree. Gu Mingyue was so scared that she couldn't help but utter sweet words.

In an instant, many versions of ghost stories flashed through her mind.

The Chinese and Western version of the spell comes out at will: "Amitabha, Hallelujah, Jade Emperor, hurry up and obey the order..."

After muttering for a while, I found that the furry head was lying motionless on the tree branch.

Gu Mingyue quietly stepped back, imagining that the other person was staring at her.

Feeling a rustling sound behind him, he quickly slipped into the space.

When people are nervous, they really don’t even have time to make subconscious movements.

If she had hidden in the space earlier, she wouldn't have been scared into a cold sweat.

After finally calming down, the addicted Gu Mingyue plucked up the courage to check out the situation outside.

Only then did she realize that there was only a little squirrel behind her.

At this time, the squirrel was looking around, probably wondering how such a big two-legged beast could disappear out of thin air.

I soon lost interest and climbed up the tree...

As it climbed, it landed right where the furry head had been.

Gu Mingyue suddenly had an idea. Oh my god, is it Hericium erinaceus?
