The news that Wu Xiaoyu dug up ginseng in the back mountain and sold it for a lot of money caused a huge stir in the whole village. Ginseng in the back mountain? No wonder there are so many poisonous insects and fierce beasts!
People often say that wherever there are poisonous insects, there must be elixirs. It turns out that this seemingly dangerous back mountain is actually a treasure vault.
The desire for money overcame fear. Men and women, young and old, from every household, anyone who could move, all carried medicine baskets or cloth bags, and entered the mountain with all sorts of tools.
Wu Xiaoyu, on the other hand, stayed at home, painstakingly explaining to his uncles and grandfathers the dangers in the mountain and the rarity of ginseng, which is not easy to find.
But these elders, whose eyes had turned red with greed, didn't listen at all. Instead, they thought he was trying to block their path to wealth and left with perfunctory responses one by one.
