Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

After the first pit was set up, Lin Ze climbed to the top of Nanshan Mountain.

Behind Nanshan Mountain, there are endless mountains and basins formed by several peaks.

Lin Ze put away the backpack, held the loaded gun in his hand, and walked in the half-man-high grass.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle..." The chirping sounds of crickets and unknown insects were endless.

Lin Ze saw a basin of water again from afar. He was delighted and walked over quickly.

He did not forget to explore the surroundings, and suddenly he stopped. Lin Ze, who had good eyesight, discovered a mallet next to the pine tree right in front of him!

This made Lin Ze extremely happy. You know, this was what he went into the mountains to find. He fixed his eyes on the beautiful ginseng and walked towards it step by step.

When he was exactly 5 meters away from the ginseng, Lin Ze silently said in his heart, "Collect!"

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a 2-year-old wild ginseng. Do you want to plant it? ]

Lin Ze was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly said, "Plant!"

[Sorry host, there is no land suitable for planting. Do you want to collect the corn for ripening? ]

"Ripe and collect!"

[Using 5 catties of organic fertilizer 'dead branches and rotten leaves' to ripen successfully, we obtained kg of corn. ]

[There are two plots of black soil. Would you like to plant them? ]

"Plant a wild ginseng!"

[The planting was successful. During the planting period, every 12 hours is approximately equal to one year. ]

"It's just as I thought. Applying 100 kilograms of fertilizer is equivalent to fertilizing the mountain for ten years."

“Fertilization.”

【Using 100 catties of lake mud and 12-year-old wild ginseng.】

Lin Ze nodded, very satisfied with this phenomenon.

Without rushing to plant crops, Lin Ze drilled deeper into the basin.

Soon, he had a new harvest, two white Hericium erinaceus!

It’s a pity that this Hericium erinaceus cannot be cultivated.

Hericium erinaceus grows on tree trunks. Lin Ze placed his hand on the tree and, using the tree as a medium, immediately collected two Hericium erinaceus, one large and one small, into the space.

Lin Ze used his thoughts as his eyes to scan the surroundings and soon discovered matsutake mushrooms in addition to ordinary mushrooms.

With his feet on the ground, five meters is the medium. No matter what he finds within this range, he can easily collect it into the space.

Lin Ze was enjoying the harvest. He walked deeper and deeper along the Nanshan Mountain and discovered more and more supplies.

Rabbits, pheasants, wild ducks, bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, chubby bamboo rats, and various edible mushrooms.

Lin Ze even discovered plants such as wild pepper, onion, garlic, and chili pepper.

He collected all of these and used them as seeds for planting in the space.

While picking, Lin Ze did not forget to dig another trap in the basin. The basin was moist, making it easier to dig. Just like the first trap, Lin Ze placed wooden spikes at the bottom of the trap, and put dead branches and leaves on top, and a few corns as bait.

Lin Ze, the mountain herder, was so engrossed in picking fruits that the mountain soon turned dark.

“Aww, aww—”

Deep in the distant mountains, the howling of wild wolves finally sounded.

Lin Ze looked at his watch. It was 5:20. He didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly walked in the direction he came from.

It would have been fastest for him to go down the Nanshan Mountain directly, but there was a big lake between the Nanshan Mountain and the village, and his grandfather wouldn't let him swim in the lake.

Lin Ze went up and down the South Mountain to the East Mountain before he breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not that he was afraid of wild wolves, but it was getting dark, and he didn’t want to wait until dark to go home and be scolded by his grandfather.

As they got closer to the village, Lin Ze took out a backpack and put two pheasants, a rabbit and a nest of ten pheasant eggs into it.

Mushrooms, Hericium erinaceus, peppers, onions, garlic, shepherd's purse, and wild chrysanthemum filled an entire basket.

All the prey were collected by the space. When Lin Ze took them out, he broke their necks.

In the evening, the villagers went back to their homes for dinner, except Lin Changgui, who was still sitting alone under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, waiting for Lin Ze to come home.

"Grandpa." Lin Ze strode towards Lin Changgui, pretending to take out the shovel and gun from the backpack behind him as he walked.

"Xiao Ze, you little brat finally came down the mountain." Lin Changgui exhaled a long puff of smoke, stood up and took two steps towards Lin Ze.

"Master, let's go home."

Lin Ze smiled and walked forward to support the old man, and the grandfather and grandson walked towards home together.

"How was your harvest today? Did you encounter any danger?"

"Master, did you hear the gunshots at the foot of the mountain?" Lin Ze asked.

"That's not the case, but I faintly heard the wolf howling. You, kid, have made your grandfather anxious waiting for you."

The father and son quickly arrived at Lin Changgui's house. As soon as they entered, Lin Changgui locked the gate.

"Master, why are you locking the door so early? Aren't you going out to enjoy the cool air?"

"To enjoy the cool? What cool? Didn't you hear the wolf howling?"

Lin Changgui said, "It's not peaceful on the mountain tonight. It's best to go to bed early and not go out. We'll see what happens tomorrow."

"Master, isn't it just a few wolf howls in the distant mountains?"

Lin Ze didn't care. As he talked, he poured out the ingredients in the basket one by one.

"Good boy, how come you can pick Hericium erinaceus?"

Liu Ying widened her eyes, held the Hericium erinaceus that Lin Zecai had picked in her hands, and looked at it over and over again, looking like she couldn't let it go.

"Old man, the mountain is not peaceful tonight. I will cook something delicious for you two. We will eat at home and not go out."

"Grandma, shall I go call my uncle's family over?"

Lin Changgui thought about it and nodded slightly, "It's getting dark. Go with a gun and tell them to lock the door. Don't go out again after you come."

"Okay sir."

After saying this, Lin Ze walked out of the door. Looking from East Mountain to South Mountain, a hint of fear rose in his heart.

That fear came from his now thin body and the empty back without teammates.

"Uncle and aunt, Lin Wen and Lin Wu!"

Lin Ze's shouting caused Lin Musheng to open the gate of the courtyard. "Lin Ze, why are you here? Didn't your grandfather tell you to lock the door and not go out?"

"Uncle, Grandpa asked me to ask you to go over to them."

"Your aunt and I won't go. Lin Wen and Lin Wu, come quickly and sleep at your grandfather's house with your brother Ze tonight."

As soon as Lin Musheng finished speaking, Lin Wen and Lin Wu immediately ran out of the house. The two brothers surrounded Lin Ze and said excitedly, "Brother Ze, are we going to sleep with Brother Ze tonight? That would be great."

"Hehe, I've wanted to sleep with Brother Ze for a long time, so that I can become as powerful as Brother Ze."

Lin Musheng looked at the increasingly gloomy sky outside the door and said with a bad look on his face, "Stop chatting. Go to your grandfather's house first. Lock the door after entering the house. No matter what happens outside tonight, don't come out."

As Lin Musheng was talking, he was about to lock the gate. Seeing Lin Ze looking at him with a confused look, he warned, "Especially you, Xiaoze, don't go out just because you know how to use a shotgun. Do you understand?"
