Chapter 262: Chapter 261 Lai Fu: Brother, sorry for raising my voice just now!

Because he was picking mountain goods near the village in the mountains, he didn’t turn off the live stream when he came down the mountain.

This is just an ordinary mountain village that many tourists drive to for picnics and to see the scenery.

There’s nothing that needs to be hidden.

He had already carried a big basket of mountain goods on his back.

All of them were fresh wild vegetables.

Most people from the village love these.

They belong to the taste of home.

His parents also loved them, so he picked some to take to them today.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Yang could also show everyone his mountain village.

The village was very clean, and the roads had been cleared.

Walking on the roads of the mountain village, the netizens had a very good impression.

Just then, as Xu Yang was passing by the front of a house, a chained watchdog suddenly sprang out from the gate, barking furiously at him.

It was barking quite fiercely.

This was also a necessary skill for a watchdog.

Xu Yang looked at the village dog, his expression unchanged.

The netizens, however, were amused.

[Hahaha, Old Xu got scolded by the dog, what a rarity!]

[This village dog doesn’t know who he’s messing with!]

[Village dog, you better run, he even dares to smack a tiger’s butt!]

[If you don’t run now, you’ll really miss your chance!]

The barrage was lively.

The watchdog was barking fiercely, not out of malice towards Xu Yang, but as part of its indiscriminate attack instinct.

Seeing Xu Yang looking at it, it remained aggressive, baring its teeth and assuming an attack posture.

"This dog seems to be called Lai Fu."

Xu Yang muttered softly.

"Lai Fu, want a chicken leg?"

Xu Yang fumbled in his shirt pocket and, to everyone’s surprise, pulled out a plastic-wrapped large chicken leg.

The netizens were all stunned.

Man, what else do you have in your pockets?

Where did you get this chicken leg?

For Xu Yang, this was a necessary skill; who knew what one might encounter in the mountains, so he always prepared some extra food.

Anyway, he was strong and carrying some snacks didn’t tire him.

Ferocious Lai Fu was clearly stunned by Xu Yang’s words.

It understood the meaning of "chicken leg."

Its previously ferocious eyes visibly became confused.

The bared teeth were also silently retracted.

Xu Yang waved the chicken leg in front of Lai Fu, who looked on with longing, licked his nose, and seemed tempted.

"Still barking?"

Xu Yang asked again.

This time, Lai Fu was much more obedient, staying still.

Watching this scene, the netizens in the live stream instantly cheered for Lai Fu:

[Lai Fu, you need to stand tall, bite him!]

[Why aren’t you being fierce to him anymore!]

[Lai Fu: Brother, sorry for being loud just now!]

[Hahaha, the dog has been tamed!]

Xu Yang unwrapped the chicken leg, took a big bite himself, and then, looking at the eager-faced Lai Fu, tossed the chicken leg over to him.

Lai Fu caught it in one bite and began to gobble it down immediately.

It was hungry too and bit through the chicken leg in just a few bites, completely crushing the bones.

But the bones of the snack-type chicken legs were originally very soft.

Xu Yang watched it for a moment, then continued on his way.

When Lai Fu looked at Xu Yang again, there was no hint of fierceness, but instead wagging its tail as if giving a send-off.

It was also a dog that was easily won over.

Xu Yang fed Lai Fu because seeing a chained dog always made him feel uncomfortable, but after all, it was the dog owner’s business, so he didn’t interfere much.

But if he could provide some treats, he would.

It was something he did along the way.

Continuing on, he was nearly at his family’s store.

Lately, the store had been quite popular, with some fans specifically coming here to shop.

Quite absurd.

Seeing that he was close, Xu Yang greeted the netizens and turned off the live stream.

Back at the store, Xu Yang set down the wild vegetables, grabbed a bottle of fruit tea, and sat down to chat casually with Mrs. Xu.

After a few words, Mrs. Xu asked:

"The other day, a customer came and wanted me to sign a live-streaming contract or something, saying I could make a lot of money from live streaming."

"But there had to be a few words added in parentheses after my account."

Hearing this, Xu Yang replied:

"Mom, what kind of people do you talk to all day? Why would you bother with him?"

Mrs. Xu immediately said, "Of course I ignored him and told him to leave right away."

"What words did he want you to add after your account?" Xu Yang asked again.

"Mentor Xu Yang."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang choked on his fruit tea and coughed for a while before he could catch his breath.

"Mom, you should interact less with such people in the future, and be careful not to get scammed."

"The waters of the internet are too deep for you to navigate."

Hearing his advice, Mrs. Xu scolded him a bit but didn’t say much else.

After delivering the wild vegetables and picking up some items in the store, Xu Yang teased Big Yellow for a bit, then asked Ma Wen to come over and take him back to the farm.

Xu Yang instructed Ma Wen to drive the diesel tricycle instead of the sedan.

For such a short distance, letting the people in the village see them would only lead to idle chatter.

Back at the farm, Xu Yang asked Niu Zhuang to stir-fry a dish with the wild vegetables and to make a cold dish as well.

As the boss had spoken, Niu Zhuang naturally took the task seriously and immediately got busy.

It wasn’t long before three dishes were served in Xu Yang’s yard,

including a farmer’s stir-fried pork.

Having someone to help makes everything more convenient.

Xu Yang tasted the wild vegetables and the farmer’s stir-fried pork and found them to be quite delicious.

The three dogs would usually flock around Xu Yang at meal times, eager for something to eat,

but this time, apparently turned off by the sight of the greens, they stayed outside in the yard, not bothering to come in.

They had absolutely no interest in green vegetables.

So Xu Yang enjoyed the meal by himself.

Days went by, and the crops in the greenhouse were beginning to show signs of ripening.

The staff worked methodically every day, and the farm was currently thriving.

Mainly because they had signed contracts, there was a market for everything they grew, which steadied the farm’s development.

The animals were also stable,

and the little ones were cheerful every day.

Black Bear would pop over from time to time to beg for food.

Black Panther Luna was doing fine, and in a little over a month, she would be giving birth,

at which time she’d need to eat more postpartum meals.

After keeping busy for two days, Xu Yang decided to go on a mountain excursion.

This time, he set his sights on Yunnan.

It was the season when Yunnan mushrooms were ripe.

The climate there was warm, with plenty of mountains and mushrooms.

Similarly, it was about making a living from the mountain.

Countless locals searched for fresh mushrooms to eat every day.

Every year, there were quite a few people poisoned by them, but that did nothing to dampen everyone’s enthusiasm.

Even if locals were poisoned, they’d only assume the mushrooms weren’t cooked properly but would never blame the mushrooms themselves.

Once he made up his mind, Xu Yang took action.

He picked out a well-known mountain for mushroom picking and headed there the next day.

Once he arrived, Xu Yang was completely taken aback.

The mountain was swarming with people, and the mountain paths were packed.

Only after asking around did he understand that mushroom picking had become a popular tourism activity, with many visitors from other places coming to pick them.

No wonder he saw people wearing colorful caps everywhere.

"A tourism activity?"

Xu Yang couldn’t help but chuckle.

Life really is getting richer these days!

Upon reflection, picking mushrooms in the mountains does seem like a very enjoyable activity.

"It seems the main path won’t work, I’ll have to go to a more remote part of the wild mountain,"

"With so many mountains in Yunnan, finding one shouldn’t be too hard,"

Xu Yang thought to himself.

However, the mountains that were relatively easy to climb were crowded,

It was only the more treacherous and steep mountains that were people-free.

Xu Yang had previously gained rock climbing ability and enhanced grip strength, so climbing wasn’t a problem for him.

Having come all this way, he couldn’t return empty-handed.

Therefore, Xu Yang didn’t plan to pick mushrooms in the tourist area today but instead set out to see the views in the wild mountains.

As he was leaving, someone shouted out:

"Old Xu!"

"It’s Old Xu!"

Normally tourists are out for fun and are keen to take photos of anything they see,

and if they encounter a famous livestreamer, they definitely want a photo together.

Xu Yang, thinking of the crowds of tourists on the mountain, knew that if he stopped, he wouldn’t be able to leave for hours,

so he immediately slipped away as fast as he could,

as if he hadn’t heard anything.

All the way down the mountain, he moved many times faster than on the way up.

Next, Xu Yang began to look for a suitable place to climb.

He really found a continuous big mountain, but the path up was steep, nearly a series of unending cliffs.

It would take some effort to climb up,

but the difficulty wasn’t too great for him.

So, after another day, early in the morning, Xu Yang started his livestream early.

Many people were still on the subway commuting, or just arriving at work and starting to slack off.

When they took out their phones and saw Xu Yang with a backpack, clinging onto a rock face, climbing up like a gecko,

they immediately woke up.

Holy cow! Is that Old Xu?

What’s he doing?

No one expected such an exciting live broadcast so early in the morning.

Generally, there are very few people watching livestreams at this time,

but Xu Yang’s livestream was as lively as ever.

The cliff looked very steep, almost ninety degrees vertical, with strange rocks protruding, and the thought of falling down was too terrifying to contemplate,

but Xu Yang was quite calm.

First of all, the cliff had an angle to it, angling outward, it just looked vertical.

Moreover, there were plenty of handholds and footholds available.

Additionally, the cliff was not continuous, being broken up in sections, so the danger wasn’t as high.

He had climbed cliffs like this many times before.

Climbing up from one cliff, Xu Yang patted the dirt off himself and calmly said:

"Today, I’m heading into the mountains, just to pick some mushrooms."

"The mushrooms here are really good, big and plentiful."

Then he continued on his way, planning to climb even higher.

Hearing his words, the viewers in the livestream were dumbfounded.

Picking mushrooms?

Who picks mushrooms like this?

Old Xu, you really don’t play by the rules!
