Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

That evening, Old Man Li made the decision and agreed to Ye Chen's request.

At this point, the Clivia Project has begun to take shape.

"Brother Ye Chen, so are we just going to raise these treasures from now on?" Tian Cong asked doubtfully.

Ye Chen said, "We should still go hunting in the mountains, but I'll take you to gather herbs later, so we won't be fighting for a while."

This trip to Savage Valley offended Boss Lin and his group.

In Ye Chen's view, the other party's flaws must be retaliated against.

They will definitely not let this go.

If we were to venture deeper into the old forest, we would have to be on guard at all times.

This experience is too torturous, and the slightest mistake could be life-threatening.

Rather than doing that, it's better to find another way.

"Tomorrow, we'll go somewhere else. You all need to tell your families that this trip will last at least two weeks!"

Ye Chen gave the instructions, already having a plan in mind.

"We're going on a long trip this time, and while we're at it, we'll also broaden your horizons."

……

Ye Chen returned that evening.

The three women had prepared a table full of dishes, ostensibly to celebrate.

"Ye Chen was really amazing this time, he's a hero to our family!"

"Ye Chen, we were wrong before. Don't take it to heart when we said that hunting was unreliable."

"Ye Chen, what are your plans for the future? Are you going into the mountains again in the next couple of days?"

The three women crowded around Ye Chen, unusually refraining from causing him any trouble.

Facing the three people's anxious gazes, Ye Chen explained.

"I'm going on a long trip tomorrow, but this time I won't be hunting. I'm going to do some medicinal herb business."

"Alright, what kind of medicinal herbs do you need? I know this stuff best, take me with you!"

Qian Jiali immediately perked up and volunteered.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

Believe it or not, it actually works!

In his previous life, after the three women left, Ye Chen was devastated. It wasn't until the end of the year that he finally made up his mind to make a name for himself.

In order to learn new skills, Ye Chen sold his house.

I traveled to the foot of Changbai Mountain, a hundred miles away, and found an old hunter from whom I learned a lot of skills!

Compared to the old forest, the area at the foot of Changbai Mountain is much richer in natural resources.

The surrounding towns have many merchants who buy and sell medicinal herbs, waiting for the right opportunity to make a fortune.

Although Ye Chen was familiar with the environment there, time was precious this time.

If only we had a beautiful woman like Qian Jiali to deal with those people.

He led Tian Cong and Li Yan into the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs.

Efficiency will definitely improve significantly!

"Alright, you can come if you want, but I have to tell you beforehand... this time you're likely to suffer, so be prepared!"

Ye Chen nodded, then looked solemnly at Luo Ling and Tian Xiaohui.

"As for the two of you, you'll move to Old Man Li's house immediately after we leave tomorrow."

"Remember, don't make a fuss, and stay out of the way these next couple of days!"

"Ye Chen, have you offended someone?" Luo Ling asked nervously.

Ye Chen calmly replied, "I'm just afraid that some people will be jealous. When I brought the wild boar back before, everyone in the village saw it."

"What if someone with ill intentions climbs over the wall at night? Wouldn't two women be in trouble?"

This is indeed a reason, but what Ye Chen truly fears is Boss Lin and his group.

The two sides have already dealt with each other, although according to the rules of the underworld, one should not harm one's family.

But who knows if Boss Lin will care about these things?

What if they take advantage of my absence to harm the two women?

If anything were to happen to the two of them, they would be filled with regret.

So, he had already discussed it with Old Man Li back in the Li family.

"In short, listen to me during this period, and I will definitely not harm you."

"Xiaohui, try to postpone any work from the commune. The commune is almost gone, it's alright."

"Luo Ling, if you have some free time, you can help Grandpa Li plant some flowers. It's good for your health and well-being."

……

The next morning, before dawn, Ye Chen took Luo Ling and Tian Xiaohui to the Li family.

Then, he took Tian Cong, Li Yan, and Qian Jiali and left the village.

It was the same tractor as before, so Tian Cong simply gave his friend 100 yuan to rent it.

"Ye Chen, where are we going this time?"

"At the foot of Changbai Mountain, there's a village called Cat Village," Ye Chen said coldly, informing Tian Cong of the location.

After a day of trekking, as darkness fell, Ye Chen and his companions finally arrived outside Cat Village.

Looking at the faint stars in the distance, Ye Chen's eyes welled up with tears.

Master... We've been reborn, and now we meet again!

In his previous life, Ye Chen became an apprentice of an old hunter and mastered all of his skills in just half a year.

Afterwards, he even brought the old hunter back to Twin Tree Village.

In any craft, once it is passed down, the relationship between master and apprentice is like that of father and son, with the apprentice responsible for ensuring the master's well-being in his old age.

That's why the word "father" is included in the name of "master".

Unfortunately, after arriving in Shuangshu Village, the old hunter fell seriously ill and died within a little over a year.

Besides the three women, the old hunter was also Ye Chen's greatest pain.

Now that they meet again, Ye Chen has already made up his mind.

"We must ensure that Master lives a good life, eats well, drinks well, and has a peaceful final journey!"

……

Half an hour later, the group entered the village.

Unlike Shuangshu Village, which is very sensitive, the villagers of Mao'er Village do not show any hostility towards outsiders.

Instead, they were exceptionally enthusiastic and came straight to greet us.

"Guests, are you here to buy mountain produce? Do you have a place to stay?"

"I have two empty rooms at home, it's only two yuan a night. Come stay at my place, meals included!"

Mao'er Village is located in a remote area, a day's journey away from the county seat.

The climate at the foot of Changbai Mountain is extremely complex, making farming a complete joke.

Fortunately, the arrival of outside merchants who buy mountain products and provide them with a place to stay has become the villagers' only source of income.

"Okay, I'll stay at your place tonight!"

Ye Chen casually pointed to a boy and said that it had become a rule in Cat Village for the children of the family to come out and solicit customers.

That evening, the group gathered around the campfire, discussing plans for the next day.

"Tomorrow, Li Yan and I will go into the mountains. Tian Cong and Jia Li will first get acquainted with the surrounding merchants and make some dealings with them."

"It's good to know which company we can cooperate with. We should be able to make a lot of money in the next two weeks!"

In his previous life, Ye Chen studied under his master and stayed in Changbai Mountain for more than half a year.

Although I didn't gain much at the time, I heard a lot of stories and observations.

The village is full of people and gossip, so whenever a family who has been gathering resources in the mountains finds some treasure, it becomes quite a sensation.

The stories about where the treasure was found and the opportune moment to acquire it are legendary.

Although many of these were false rumors, Ye Chen managed to filter them and obtain a considerable amount of reliable information.

This trip to Changbai Mountain is to buy all these local products in advance.

Having more funds will also help me plan my next steps.

"Get some rest early. Tonight... I'll stay with Jiali, and Tian Cong and Li Yan will share a room."

Ye Chen waved his hand and gave the instructions.

As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced in Qian Jiali's direction.

Could she possibly think that I arranged this on purpose, with ulterior motives?

Before Ye Chen could probe Qian Jiali's attitude, Tian Cong and Li Yan exchanged a glance and hurriedly ran out the door.

Tian Cong joked without even turning his head.

"Ye Chen, take it easy tonight, save your energy, we're going into the mountains tomorrow!"
