Returning to the mountain village, starting with mushroom picking to get rich

"Let's pull off a big heist?"

"Holy crap, Brother Liu, you've really nailed this!"

In a secluded alley corner, noticing Liu Butu's fierce gaze, the expressions on the faces of the group showed no fear whatsoever; instead, they became somewhat excited.

As frequent patrons at gambling tables, these individuals, like Liu Budu, did not have any legitimate professions.

He indulged in all sorts of vices, including eating, drinking, gambling, and prostitution.

In the beginning, the group was able to live a carefree and happy life together, relying on their savings and family fortune.

However, at the gambling table, nine out of ten times you lose.

If you lose, you want to recoup your losses; if you win, you want to win even more.

The only result will be that they get deeper and deeper into trouble.

Once they develop bad habits, no matter how wealthy they were before, they will have long since squandered it all.

He wanted to get money to go back to the gambling table and win back what he had lost before.

They repeatedly took risks and crossed the line.

Over time, the group became notorious hooligans in town.

"Tell me, if we're not stealing mushrooms, what are we going to steal?" the group asked excitedly.

"money!"

"money?"

"Yes, it's about money," Liu Budu explained.

Recently, the shiitake mushrooms in the forest farm have been ripening in batches.

Wholesalers from the provincial capital are receiving goods in batches.

Over at the forest farm, a large number of laborers are being employed to carry out harvesting operations.

He knew everything clearly about the village.

The people picking fruit at the forest farm are mostly from the surrounding villages, and many of them are elderly people who don't know how to use smartphones.

Therefore, Yang Lin would always prepare cash in advance to pay the workers their wages.

Rather than risk being bitten by dogs to painstakingly pick mushrooms for resale.

Why not just go and find the cash that Yang Lin has stored?

In the past, he believed that even thieves have their code of honor, and that a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow.

Yang Lin and he were from the same village, so he couldn't easily make a move in the village.

Who knew that Yang Lin would show him no respect at all? He had made a lot of money himself, but he was still unwilling to lend him tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan to help him make a fortune.

I went to pick some mushrooms and got chased by dogs.

It's time to teach Yang Lin a lesson and make him remember it.

As long as they manage to pull off one big score, it will be enough for them to live a carefree life for a long time.

"Come on, I'll take you to my house first."

Soon, Liu Budu and his companions each rode a second-hand, unlicensed black motorcycle back to Qingshan Village.

Under the guise of inviting friends to his home, Liu Budu led a few people to scout out Qingshan Village.

Then they went to the forest farm to register, indicating their willingness to work there.

The harvesting of mushrooms is a short-term operation.

Only during the production season will a large number of workers be needed.

Due to the short-term demand for labor and the influx of a large number of people, among Liu Budu's group, except for Liu Budu who was on Yang Lin's blacklist and was specifically instructed by Yang Lin not to be employed.

The remaining few people all successfully registered with Sun Cheng and started working at the forest farm.

Little did they know that the moment they stepped into the forest, Yang Lin immediately recognized them.

"Hmm? It's these guys?"

Everyone's shoe size, weight, walking habits, and force are different.

Through the vibrations transmitted by the mycelium, Yang Lin quickly determined that the few guys who frequently visited the forest farm at night to steal mushrooms had actually infiltrated the migrant workers' group.

"What are they trying to do?"

"A change of heart, a repentance... or ulterior motives?"

Yang Lin was puzzled when he realized that a habitual offender had infiltrated the forest farm.

This is not Sun Cheng's fault. If it weren't for his ability to sense the mycelium, he wouldn't have known that these people were repeat offenders.

Aside from those like Liu Budu who have a criminal record, the forest farm can't just refuse people when it's openly recruiting labor.

There are many people working during the day, so even if a few people sneak into the forest to scout out the area have ulterior motives, they won't do it in broad daylight.

Yang Lin observed the mushroom web for a while, and the others worked diligently, completing their afternoon's work.

However, as the afternoon work session was about to end, the group began to secretly follow Yang Lin, intentionally or unintentionally.

Although they were all blending into the crowd and were not noticeable at all.

However, the entire area of ​​the forest farm is within the mycelial perception of Yang Lin.

Their little tricks couldn't be hidden from Yang Lin at all.

"Is it coming for me?" Yang Lin quickly became alert.

He wouldn't care if these people tried to take advantage of the situation and steal some mushrooms from the forest.

Even if the mushrooms are picked, they can grow back.

He had no choice but to be careful since they had set their sights on him.

Concentrating his mental energy, Yang Lin participated in the management of the forest farm while focusing his mycelial sensing ability on those habitual offenders.

It wasn't until Yang Lin was distributing the workers' wages for the day that he noticed that the group's gaze wasn't on him, but on his money box.

He took the cash from a nearby prefabricated house and distributed it to the workers at the entrance of the forest farm.

One of them sneaked away from the crowd and went to the room where he temporarily stored his cash.

They wandered around the house several times, as if familiarizing themselves with the surroundings.

"Have these people stopped stealing mushrooms and started stealing money instead?"

To verify this hypothesis, after paying the workers their wages, Yang Lin did not, as usual, take the remaining money back to town to deposit in the bank.

The appropriate amount of cash was withdrawn at noon the next day for the day's wages.

Instead, they carried the box containing the money back to the temporary prefabricated house where it was stored.

After locking the door, Yang Lin sensed that one of the group members was hiding in a secluded corner.

It was as if they were secretly monitoring his movements.

With a sudden thought, Yang Lin deliberately led Sun Cheng closer to a corner.

The man quickly shrank back, held his breath, and dared not move rashly.

Afraid of being discovered.

Yang Lin did not rush to reveal the other party's hiding place, but stood nearby and told Sun Cheng about his movements.

"Judging from the current situation, we should need to pick even more mushrooms tomorrow than today, so we need more workers here."

"At that time, the forest farm's cash reserves may not be enough to pay the workers' wages."

"I'll go to town first and get some money..."

After explaining a few things, Yang Lin immediately rode his bicycle to the town.

Sure enough, after receiving their wages, the group did not leave.

Instead, it lingered near the forest farm, moving back and forth constantly.

It's true that you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves

He could certainly drive away the thieves today by relying on the sensations transmitted through the mycelium.

But as long as this group doesn't give up, he won't have a moment's peace.

Only by getting rid of them all can we solve the problem once and for all.

Of course, Yang Lin wasn't some kind of demon.

With 800 acres of mycelium connected in one continuous stretch, he could certainly take advantage of the group's infiltration into the forest to use methods to accelerate growth.

The mycelium engulfed the group, causing them to suffocate and die.

However, this will only bring him more trouble.

With a change of heart, Yang Lin decided to play along.

Since they're after the money, let's give them the money.

Let them be happy for a while.

Not long after, Yang Lin went to the town and retrieved 200,000 yuan in cash.

Pretending not to notice that the group was secretly watching, he brazenly placed 200,000 yuan in cash into a room.
