Chapter 133: Lightning-struck wood and frightened little squirrel!

We had just entered the mountain and the bamboo basket was already full.

A basket full of round dates.

They are all freshly ripe treasures.

It tastes similar to kiwi fruit, sweet and hydrating.

This is only the first time the treasure-hunting compass was used, the other four times it was not used.

After all, it is autumn, and there are so many wild fruits in the mountains.

Xu Yang plans to keep the number of times he uses the treasure hunting compass.

There is no way. If I encounter another date tree vine, I really won’t be able to pick up any more fruits.

Or if you come across an area of ​​hickory nuts, you can’t take them away.

"I only picked this much, and the bamboo basket is already full."

“If a few people go into the mountains together and encounter a tree like this, they don’t need to go any further.”

"One tree is enough to keep you busy for a day."

Xu Yang said to the audience.

I didn’t expect that the hunt was over just after we entered the mountain for a while.

This is what most mountain runners do. They walk back when the bamboo basket is full.

"I'll take a walk for a bit. It wouldn't be fun to go back directly."

"Or come back tomorrow."

Xu Yang left the bamboo basket on the ground and planned to hang around nearby.

It's still early now, and there aren't many people at the mountain product market.

Play with the little leopard for a while.

[Old Xu, can I buy your round kiwi fruit? I want to buy it from you! ]

From time to time, netizens bring up the idea of ​​online shopping.

Xu Yang would smile and reply: "These mountain products are not valuable. To be honest, the price may not even be as expensive as the unit price of the courier fee."

"There are also merchants online that specialize in growing and selling these dates. Their round dates have fuller grains and are carefully selected."

"If you identify a good merchant, you can just place your order online."

After hearing what he said, many people actually went to the mall to search for information.

The sales volume of Northeastern round dates has therefore increased significantly.

Xu Yang has made some contributions to the Northeast.

He strolled in the forest with the little leopard and felt extremely relaxed.

At this time, a large grassland appeared in front of us, and the grass was not very tall.

It is quite rare to see a flat ground in the mountains.

The flat area doesn't even feel like a mountain.

Looks to be about 150 meters in length.

Xu Yang suddenly became interested. He stood on the edge of the ground, carefully checked the situation, and after confirming that there was no danger, he came up with an idea.

Men are all good at coming up with ideas, and when they get together, they will come up with some weird ideas.

Xu Yang actually has one.

"As we all know, cheetahs are the fastest, but leopards are not far behind."

"Do you think I can outrun a leopard?"

Xu Yang said to the audience with a smile.

Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard his words.

[Old Xu, what are you doing with this plane? ]

I only saw Xu Yang standing there, looking at Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, run with me, let's see who runs faster."

The little leopard blinked, with a cute look on its face.

Xu Yang touched its head and shouted:
"Ready, run!"

The next second, Xu Yang ran forward, and the little leopard immediately accelerated and caught up with him in the first possible moment.

It ran very fast, as if it understood what Xu Yang meant.

However, Xu Yang was faster, and even looked back and slowed down a bit.

Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help laughing.

[Old Xu, what's the big deal about bullying a child? ]

[Hahaha, if you can, just wait for the leopard to grow up! ]

[This is too much! ]

【Xiaohua: Wait for me to call my mom over! 】

The live broadcast room also became lively.

Xu Yang had another purpose for running like this, which was to exercise Xiaohua's physical strength a little.

After all, he is already half a year old and is almost an adult.

Leopards and tigers will basically leave their mothers to live alone at the age of one. Those later will leave at the age of two, and those even later will be the type that refuses to leave.

If you can't hunt, just wait to be eaten.

Xu Yang ran a hundred meters, stopped, and looked back.

Xiaohua rushed over immediately, just a few steps ahead.

"He runs pretty fast. If he gets bigger, he won't be able to run as fast as he does."

Xu Yang sighed.

In nature, humans are not considered fast runners. Tigers, leopards, and bears are faster than humans when running at full speed.

In other words, if you really encounter a ferocious beast chasing you at full speed, even Bolt wouldn't be able to escape.

Xu Yang took a look at the comments and saw that everyone was saying that he was bullying children.

The atmosphere is very convivial.

Xu Yang squatted down and touched the little leopard's head. The little guy became cuter and cuter.

Cats are just adorable.

The little guy ran for a distance, took a few quick breaths, and then adjusted his breathing.

Very energetic.

Xu Yang played with it for a while, then looked around and chose to use the treasure hunting compass again.

Use it once more and save the rest for another task.

At present, he has sufficient funds and does not need to work in the mountains to supplement his family income. In fact, people who work in the mountains are working for a living. Without any extra income, they can only work hard in the mountains.

There are not many people who simply like to go into the mountains.

Xu Yang went into the mountains because he liked the animals there and the vibrant atmosphere there.

The treasure hunting compass quickly marked a location.

Xu Yang took the little leopard for a stroll, and what he discovered this time was beyond Xu Yang's expectations.

This is a genuine jujube tree, but it was struck by lightning. The tree is dead and only an empty shell remains. "Look here, I found another one, a lightning-struck tree, but it failed to pass the tribulation, so it is not a real lightning-struck tree."

Xu Yang spoke up.

Netizens looked at the jujube wood in the picture.

The jujube tree is bare with only the trunk left. The bark on one side is well preserved, while the bark on the other side is completely charred, and the middle is hollow.

This strange shape aroused people's interest again.

Many people have heard of the name of lightning-struck wood, which seems to be a valuable cultural plaything.

Among the woods struck by lightning, jujube wood is the best, followed by peach wood.

But there are also some rules to follow.

Xu Yang said to everyone:
"Normally, when struck by lightning, a tree will explode directly."

"Sometimes, lightning strikes one side and instantly causes a fire, and then the rain puts out the fire."

"Look at this side of the tree, it's completely charred, it's the mark left by the lightning."

"Then the fire will burn inside the tree and clean out the inside."

"The bark on the other side is intact. If it was burned by an open fire or a wildfire, the bark would not be intact. It can only be lightning-struck wood."

"However, the truly precious lightning-struck wood refers to the tree that is still alive after being struck by lightning and burned by fire."

"It's a bit like going through a thunderstorm. If you succeed, you'll become a treasure."

"If you fail, you will be crushed to pieces."

"This tree has some value. It can be made into a bracelet or a wooden plaque."

"The jujube wood struck by lightning is the best object to ward off evil spirits."

As Xu Yang spoke, he picked up an irregular piece of wood from the ground.

This is what is left of the jujube wood that was struck by lightning.

The wood is very thick and tough, and with a little cutting and some words on it, it can be made into a decoration.

As for cutting down trees, for one thing there were no tools, and for another it was forbidden to cut down trees in the forest, even dead ones.

This is to prevent people from deliberately killing trees and then cutting them down. Human nature is evil.

But collecting firewood is no problem.

"It rained a while ago, and there were lightning and thunder. It was quite dangerous."

"It's raining a lot now, so everyone should be more careful."

Xu Yang walked back with the wooden board, thinking that he had made a profit on this trip.

Netizens are hotly discussing the issue of wood struck by lightning.

[It turns out that the lightning-struck wood is a tree that has successfully transcended the tribulation. How bizarre! ]

[Can I buy it online? ]

[Let me put it this way, all the lightning-struck wood on the Internet is fake, without exception, all of them are fake! ]

[It is better to contact private sellers. Some people can still pick up the remains of lightning-struck wood in the mountains! ]

[Is it worth the money? ]

[Normally, but the piece of wood in Old Xu's hand is a lightning-struck jujube wood, which is the favorite of Taoists. It should be worth some money! ]

Xu Yang took a look around and didn't find anything significant, so he planned to go down the mountain carrying the round dates.

He carried the bamboo basket on his back and felt its heavy weight.

Money is really hard to make.

Although the mountain herders seem to make a living from the mountains, they actually have to endure the hardship of transporting goods.

This job requires both experience and physical strength, and it is not easy.

This is still considered good, after all, the weight of the round dates is just that heavy. The last basket of pecans was really heavy, like carrying a stone.

"I'll just pick some dates today. I'll take a rest tomorrow and go back into the mountains the day after tomorrow."

"Let's go for a walk in the mountains."

Xu Yang gave a preview to netizens.

He has 3 compass times left. He will add 1 tomorrow and 1 the day after tomorrow, making it exactly 5 times.

He looked down upon ordinary mountain products, so he planned to exchange them for a treasure hunt mission to give it a try.

Interesting.

The reward for running around in the mountains to complete tasks has arrived.

Most of the tasks are related to animals, which are quite interesting, but I just wish the rewards were better.

Xu Yang didn’t even dare to open the Good News Bird suit that he received as a reward last time.

This thing is really of little use in the village.

Too pretentious.

Decent people don't dress like this.

Xu Yang started the return journey with the little leopard.

There are many animals in the forest.

There were groups of roe deer running by, pheasants calling in the tall grass, and occasionally you could see squirrels busy picking walnuts and pine nuts.

This season is very busy for squirrels.

If you find a tree hole where a squirrel lives, you'll definitely find it full of walnuts and pine nuts.

At this time, Xu Yang saw a few squirrels busying around under the wild walnut field, and he suddenly became interested.

"Does anyone know how to summon a squirrel?"

Xu Yang asked with a smile.

Hearing him say this, netizens' attention was immediately attracted.

I only saw Xu Yang put down his backpack, picked up two walnuts, and started knocking them together.

Da da da da da~~~~
A crisp knocking sound was heard.

The squirrel knew that this was the sound of the walnut, so it immediately rushed over here after hearing it.

Normally, the squirrel would run to Xu Yang's feet, but today was an exception, after all, the little leopard was here.

So, the two squirrels just ran a few steps towards this side, and after seeing the little leopard, they turned around and ran, climbing up the tree in panic.

Seeing this, Xu Yang glanced at the little leopard and said with a smile: "The summoning failed. I forgot that Xiaohua was here."

Xiaohua blinked her eyes, her face full of innocence.

When netizens saw the squirrel's appearance, they couldn't stop laughing.

[Hahaha, I almost got sent away by the squirrel! ]

[Squirrel: Oh no, this time it's the Requiem! ]

[Squirrel: Cunning bipeds and evil leopards, luckily I can run fast! ]

The live broadcast room became lively again.

Then, Xu Yang smashed a few wild walnuts and left them on the ground, and continued on his journey with the little leopard.
