Chapter 427 The Clever Han Xuewei
"Okay, that's good, that's good. It's getting late today, and I won't disturb you any further. You all should rest early too, and we'll meet up first thing tomorrow morning."
After he finished speaking, the hunter escorted them out of the yard.
The moment the courtyard gate closed behind them, Lin Yi actually felt that his journey had not been in vain.
He could tell that this person truly had a deep understanding of the mountain.
Moreover, this time they had a map, as well as a living map; with these two combined, they could be absolutely certain that their route would be without issues.
He just hoped they would encounter wild beasts as little as possible, as only in this way could they ensure their personal safety.
"Big brother, you're really impressive."
"What's up?"
"I didn't expect that paying him money would make him agree so quickly, but don't you think you gave him too much this time?"
"Let me tell you, this is a life-risking job, and if you pay too little, we simply can't get much from these people, so this money, I'm telling you, is definitely worth it."

"Yeah, that makes sense. However, the things he said today, seems like there was something he didn't mention. I could tell he still has some memories of the mountain environment."
"Let me tell you, the mountain is so vast, no matter how much it is developed, it will only grow trees and grass. Its fundamental geographical features won't change, you got that?"
"Okay, I understand. Anyway, with the equipment we have, I guess there shouldn't be much of a problem."
"I hope everything goes smoothly. Once it's over, let's hurry up and leave this town. I believe these medicinal herbs will be enough to last us at least a year or so."
"Got it."
As the two of them conversed, they had reached the hotel.
Today's running around had left him feeling quite tired.
Once he lay down on the bed, he softly closed his eyes and thought about the plans for entering the mountain tomorrow.
Just then, his phone rang. He looked at it; it was a call from Han Xuewei.
"Xue Mei, what's up?"
"Have you arrived there now?"
"Oh, yes, I've arrived."
"I only found out today that Xi Lian Mountain is off-limits, and that there are plenty of ferocious beasts inside. Isn't it extremely dangerous for you to go in there?"
Today, while browsing the internet, Han Xue inadvertently stumbled upon the name Xi Lian Mountain and then remembered that Lin Yi had mentioned he was going there, too.
Therefore, she felt he might have some adventurous action planned for this trip.
This thought made Han Xuewei start to worry, prompting her to hurriedly call.
"Haha, Xi Lian Mountain is not safe, but I'm not really going into the mountain. I'm just at the foot of it, where there is Qingfeng Town. I'm in the town now, and if necessary, I can start a video call for you to see."
"Okay, then start the video call."
It seemed like Han Xuewei really was worried about him.
Fortunately, he hadn't ventured into the mountain yet, so video chatting with them wouldn't be much of a problem.
He hung up the phone and immediately started the video call.
He saw Han Xuewei at home, with all three children gathered around her, as if they were all waiting to see their dad.
"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!"
The children saw him on the phone and began to call out one after another.
"Ah, my darlings, hello, you guys should listen to Mom at home, or listen to Grandpa and Grandma, got it?"
"Daddy, where are you going to play?"
"Daddy has some business and came out to play for a while, but I'll bring you and Mom here later on. Look, let me show you where Daddy is staying now."
After speaking, he flipped the camera and showed his room in a circle.
"Wow, this room, this room is so big, and it really has a nice feel to it. Daddy, is this room?"
"Of course, it's a room. Doesn't it feel different from our room at home?"
"Yeah, it's different, and it feels like they are very different."
"Haha, right, there's a big difference. Come on, I'll show you what it looks like outside right now."
He walked to the window and pushed it open.
Even though it was past 8 o'clock, the small town still seemed to retain its lively atmosphere.
"Wow, it's so beautiful. Dad, what's that over there, that dark thing?"
"Oh, that's a big mountain, the one Mom was talking about. But that mountain has lots of fierce monsters, so we can't go into it, okay?"
"Oh, got it, Dad, you must be careful."
"Alright, I will be. You kids go and play nicely, I'm going to talk to Mom for a bit."
"Go on, go over there and play."
He heard Han Xuewei shooing the children away.
"Are you really just there playing with water by the mountain? Why don't I believe you?"
"There are some things I need to do, but I can't explain them all to you in a word or two right now. I'll explain everything to you properly once I'm back."
"Tell me, are you planning to take risks and go into the mountain?"
Han Xuewei seemed to have hit the nail on the head.
After all these years, she knew him very well.
"No, what mountain am I going into?"
"You're lying to me. I'm telling you, I checked a lot of information today, and there are legends about Xi Lian Mountain. They say that the mountain has become a scenic area, but deep inside the mountain, there are many precious medicinal herbs that no one has gotten for many years. And you, coincidentally, come from that industry, so I think your aim is the medicinal herbs."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi indeed paused for a moment.
This woman was too smart; she had deduced his real purpose just from the information she had found on the internet.
But at this moment, he still couldn't admit any of it.
"Precious medicinal herbs? I'm telling you, I've known there are herbs in the mountain for a long time, but I'm not targeting them. Don't forget that I can't engage in the related medical industry right now."
"So what are you doing there?"
