Chapter 356

The Village Chief smiled and continued to explain: "In the past, there was a lot of this stuff on our mountain. When it was discovered, everyone in the village came to dig it. Later, the Town Mayor knew about this and specifically brought a few experts to take a look."

"They said that the very expensive cordyceps only grows in high-altitude areas, and it's impossible for cordyceps to grow in a village like ours."

"Later, the experts took samples back for research and said it was poisonous. Also, in the early years, many poultry in the village were poisoned after eating this grass on the mountain, and many mice were poisoned to death and deformed."

"Everyone didn't dare to dig it anymore. The Town Mayor even specifically brought people over to help us clear out these poisonous grasses. Now, this kind of grass is very rare."

After hearing this, the cameraman immediately threw away the cordyceps in his hand: "This thing is too similar, it's exactly the same!"

However, Fang Yang, who was sitting in the cab, was greatly shocked after hearing the Village Chief's explanation and asked uncertainly: "Then what were these grasses used for later?"

The Village Chief shook his head: "I'm not clear about that, I guess they were burned."

"Village Chief, you've been deceived!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone was greatly shocked.

"What do you mean?"

Fang Yang jumped out of the car, picked up the cordyceps on the ground, and spoke slowly: "First of all, they were right; cordyceps only grows in high-altitude areas. This thing is indeed not cordyceps, and it is indeed poisonous!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, completely unable to understand what he meant.

"But, that doesn't mean it's poisonous grass! The grass in my hand is called Guni Cordyceps. It is also a type of cordyceps and is a close relative of cordyceps!"

"Cordyceps is a larva called a bat moth. It lives under the surface, likes a low-temperature environment, and uses plant roots as food. Once it meets the fungus of the cordyceps fungus, the fungal hyphae will bind them to death, then spread rapidly in the body, and wait until spring to emerge from the ground little by little, slowly forming cordyceps that is comparable to gold."

"And the one in my hand, the principle of formation is the same, but the insect it parasitizes is different. Its name is the stick bat moth, which belongs to the bat moth family. Although it is not as precious as cordyceps, its value is definitely not low. Its name is Guni Cordyceps."

"In traditional Chinese medicine theory, Guni Cordyceps has the effects of clearing heat and resolving phlegm, relieving asthma and coughing, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, and improving immunity... In other words, this is not poisonous grass; it is a genuine medicinal herb!"

The Village Chief and others were stunned.

For a moment, they couldn't react and didn't know who they should believe.

However, just at this moment, the Village Chief's son rode an electric scooter over to see the excavator.

The moment he saw Fang Yang, his eyes went straight.

He immediately exclaimed: "Fang Yang!!"

"Holy crap! It's actually Fang Yang!"

"Fang Yang, my idol!!"

The Village Chief's son stopped the electric scooter and rushed up, immediately taking out his phone and snapping a few photos.

His face was full of excitement.

"Dad! You're too awesome, Fang Yang was invited by you. This wedding of mine is too prestigious!"

Fang Yang was embarrassed by him and could only keep smiling.

But the Village Chief and the others were completely dumbfounded.

His son ran over, and his excited appearance was like winning the lottery.

What puzzled him most was why it would be prestigious to invite this young man to work.

"Da Niu, what do you mean? Fang Yang? Who is Fang Yang! This young man?"

"No way, Dad! You don't even know Fang Yang? He is a celebrity in our Xihai City! A national celebrity! You don't even know him, then how did you invite him? My god!"

"Dad, I'm so excited. Let me tell you, if others knew that Fang Yang came to help us open the road for my wedding, how many people would be envious to death!"

The Village Chief had a face full of question marks: "Da Niu, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong? People would be envious to death just because someone helped dig a road?"

However, Da Niu didn't answer him but shouted towards the village: "Fang Yang came to our village to dig the road, everyone come and see!"

He shouted several times in a row.

Suddenly!

The young people who came back to help in the village rushed out like crazy.

"Fang Yang? Where is he!"

"Holy crap! Is it true or false!"

"Damn, why are you running so fast."

The Village Chief and others looked at those people running for their lives in disbelief.

However, this wasn't over yet.

Da Niu took out his phone again and made a call: "Hey! Wife, tell you a piece of good news."

"What good news?"

"Isn't our village repairing the road? To make it convenient for the wedding car to come in later, do you know who is helping to repair the road?"

"Who?"

"It's Fang Yang!"

"Wow! Really? You're not lying to me, right?"

"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself!"

"I believe it, I can't go over, I'll tell my parents about this immediately. Now they definitely won't oppose our marriage anymore!"

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....

——【Damn, I'm laughing to death. Look at the Village Chief's expression; I feel like he could eat a whole whale! I guess the most embarrassed one is Fang Yang. If I were him, I could dig a nuclear bunker out of the ground with my toes!】

——【Do you think it's very exaggerated? No, I don't think it's exaggerated at all. If it were me, I could be more excited than him. Helping to open the road itself has a good meaning, and then it's Fang Yang. This is definitely no less than a celebrity coming to attend a wedding, not to mention that Fang Yang's popularity is definitely not something a celebrity can compare to.】

——【Envious of this young man. When the bride's family knows about this, I guess the bride price can be negotiated again. Who doesn't want their daughter to marry gloriously and have face in front of relatives? I guess the girl's parents originally looked down on the young man, thinking it was shameful and afraid their daughter wouldn't live well. Now it's fine; once Fang Yang appears, these are no longer problems.】

——【Sigh... if Fang Yang had been at my wedding, there wouldn't have been any regrets. Sometimes an unintentional thing can really change other people's lives. Fang Yang did it. I'm not envious of Fang Yang at all, but I'm envious of that young man.】

After the call hung up, Da Niu and his group of friends surrounded Fang Yang and chattered.

Fang Yang could only smile awkwardly.

Fortunately, they were also sensible. After the excitement, they all retreated to one side so as not to delay Fang Yang's work.

The Village Chief was still in a daze until now. Although he was very curious about who Fang Yang was, what he wanted to figure out most right now was whether what he was holding was poisonous grass.

"Da Niu, this young man said that what he is holding is not poisonous grass, but a Chinese herbal cordyceps. When the experts said it was poisonous grass, you were still young but you should remember it, right? Come and analyze whether it's true or not?".

212. Damn! Wiped Out a Giant Killer Bee Nest!

The Village Chief was just about to say the analysis he just made, but was interrupted by Da Niu.

"Dad, no need to analyze, I believe Fang Yang!"

The Village Chief's mood at this moment could no longer be described. Looking at his son who was like he was possessed, he felt helpless.

But the next second, the few young people who rushed over spoke at the same time.

"Must believe Fang Yang!"

"Even if the Heavenly King comes, I choose to believe Fang Yang."

A few people said one sentence after another, but they all showed absolute trust in Fang Yang.

The Village Chief originally thought only his son was possessed, but if everyone was like this, he couldn't help but believe it.

Fang Yang smiled and spoke slowly: "Old Village Chief, you have been deceived. Although this thing is not as expensive as cordyceps outside, it is not cheap either. I don't know if you found many of them at that time?"

"Many!" The Village Chief nodded quickly: "They were everywhere on the mountain, and many mountains nearby had them. Later, the Town Mayor brought people over and dug a few sacks away. At that time, we even specifically set up a banquet to thank him!"

"Holy crap! That dog!" Da Niu couldn't help but curse: "Dad, call the police, report him, take him down! This person is too toxic, a damn fraud, and he even freeloaded on food and drink."

"Sigh~~" The Village Chief sighed helplessly: "He stopped doing that a long time ago; it's said he's now running a nitrogen fertilizer company upstream. It's been over ten years, there's no evidence, it's useless!"

"So that's just it? How much money were those few sacks worth back then? This is equivalent to defrauding the entire village's property!"

Several young people nearby were also getting fired up, cursing one after another.

At this moment, Fang Yang could only watch quietly.

There is no evidence for this kind of thing; relying solely on one's mouth, it's impossible to win a lawsuit.

Moreover, the person is no longer a public official, so it wouldn't attract much attention.

Although with Fang Yang's popularity, if he were to solve it personally, there would definitely be no problem.

But he isn't a saint who has to meddle in every damn thing.

If it were a major issue, he could manage it, but for a minor matter from over a decade ago, if he were to get involved, there would only be endless trouble in the future.

After confirming that it was valuable caterpillar fungus, the Village Chief also planned to take the villagers up the mountain to dig for it later.

Ever since they shifted their focus to fishing, they rarely went up the mountain.

This is why the mountain is now covered in wild trees and greenery; it's estimated that the quantity of caterpillar fungus has increased again.

After returning to the cab, Fang Yang continued to dig the road.

This path must be a hundred meters long; if it's all to be widened, the area to be dug isn't just the foot of the mountain.

It's estimated that the slope over two meters high will all have to be dug away.
