Chapter 604 Crisis and Treasure (5)
The two of them squatted down and picked the wood ears carefully, fearing that they would accidentally break the precious ingredients.
Fungus is not only rich in various vitamins and minerals, but also has a strong sense of fullness. It can be said to be a rare delicacy on this deserted island.
The dead tree in front of me was covered with black fungus, which looked very fresh, as if it had just grown out of the tree.
The two carefully selected those wood ears that were not damaged, dark in color, and had a smooth surface, and gently picked them off and placed them in the basket.
Although these wood ears are not big in size, there are a lot of them. Adding up the pieces, they weigh at least five kilograms, enough for them to eat for several meals.
Looking at the basket full of fungus, they both smiled with satisfaction. It was not easy to find so many delicious foods on such a deserted island.
Moreover, these wood ears are wild, and their taste is definitely much more delicious than artificially grown ones.
Imagine how great it would be to use these fungus to make a delicious dish! Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of dinner.
After picking so many wood ears, the two men gained confidence. They walked forward for a while and had a good harvest. Just as they were about to continue their rapid progress, Su Yunshu suddenly heard some unusual noises and pulled Gu Qing to hide behind a big rock.
Su Yunshu had sharp senses and could hear the sound of treading on leaves and dead branches. Judging from the sound, there were quite a few people. After a brief thought, Su Yunshu knew that the people who came should be Fang Yu and his group.
Gu Qing was a little confused at first, not understanding why Su Yunshu suddenly grabbed her and hid behind a boulder.
But she didn't ask aloud, because she had an instinctive trust in Su Yunshu. This trust did not come from rational thinking, but from the feeling deep in her heart.
As time passed, the sounds gradually got closer, and Gu Qing began to hear clear footsteps.
At this moment, she finally understood why Su Yunshu had pulled her back. These people should be the Fang Yu group that Su Yunshu mentioned.
Su Yunshu noticed this in advance with her keen insight and took corresponding measures to protect them.
As expected, he still felt safer with Yunshu. Gu Qing made up his mind at this moment to team up with Su Yunshu every time.
Su Yunshu didn't pay attention to Gu Qing's eyes. His mind and body were focused on the group of people who were getting closer and closer. He didn't notice Gu Qing's sparkling eyes.
The group of people were getting closer and closer, and their conversations could be heard from time to time.
"Boss, is the treasure you mentioned reliable? We have been delayed here for half a month, and now we haven't even found the edge of the treasure." The leading man was very worried. If they delayed here for one more day, they would waste their money. It would be better to take on more work with this money.
"That's right, boss. If we can't find the treasure, we won't do this anymore." The others also agreed. Fang Yu paid them a lot of money, but if the delay was too long, it would obviously not be cost-effective.
Of course, if Fang Yu was willing to pay them on a daily basis, they would have no objection.
Is Fang Yu willing? Of course Fang Yu is not willing. He hasn't even seen the treasure yet, and he has already spent a lot of money on it.
"Don't worry, everyone. The information I received is absolutely reliable. As long as we go deeper inside, we will definitely find the treasure." Fang Yu encouraged everyone. Of course, not many people were willing to listen to these unhelpful words.
"But this place is so big, how long will it take us to find it?" someone complained.
"Don't worry, as long as we keep following this road, we will definitely find it." Fang Yu held a torn and incomplete map in his hand. Judging from the material, it should be many years old. He looked at it while observing the surrounding terrain.
Su Yunshu and Gu Qing followed them quietly, keeping a certain distance.
The group walked further and further away, and Su Yunshu and Gu Qing followed carefully behind. As they walked, Su Yunshu found a fork in the road ahead, and she signaled Gu Qing to stop.
"Let's split up, you go to the left and I go to the right, and see which direction they will go." Su Yunshu said in a low voice.
Gu Qing nodded and turned to the left. Su Yunshu waited quietly, observing the movements of those people. Not long after, she saw the group of people walked into the fork on the right. Su Yunshu's heart moved and she quickly followed.
