Although the atmosphere at the scene seemed a bit strange, Zhang Gen Sheng didn't refuse when he heard Uncle Li's instructions.
He simply nodded and started directing the others to deal with the wild boars.
At this moment, Uncle Li finally began to tell Zhang Gen Sheng what had just happened.
After listening to Uncle Li's account, the look in Zhang Gen Sheng's eyes towards Lin Fan instantly changed.
He had already learned about Lin Fan from his third brother, Zhang Lao San.
His older brother was very optimistic about this young man.
Most importantly, this young man had only been in the countryside for a short time before he ended up with Zhang Yan, the girl.
He was now practically one of the people in their Koushan village.
However, he never expected that Lin Fan was hiding so much!
He seemed like just a pretty boy, but who would have thought that this pretty boy was actually a hidden expert?
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of that ferocious tiger, Lin Fan's strength wouldn't have been revealed.
In ancient times, there was Wu Song who drunkenly beat a tiger, and today there's Lin Fan, who uses his fists to subdue a ferocious tiger, saving everyone from danger.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Gen Sheng patted Lin Fan on the shoulder, his voice full of admiration as he said:
"Good kid, I didn't expect you to be such an expert..."
"You're amazing, we owe you this time..."
It wasn't just Zhang Gen Sheng, the rest of the people present, their attitudes towards Lin Fan also changed.
It could be said that before this, these local people had looked down on the educated youths, more or less.
But what just happened had changed their hearts!
At least, their attitude towards Lin Fan had changed dramatically, their gazes becoming clearly kind, even with a hint of admiration!
Lin Fan wasn't blind, he could naturally sense the change in everyone.
"Uncle Li, Uncle Si...don't flatter me, you'll make me arrogant..."
"I'm sure you two don't want to see me arrogant..."
"Hahaha..."
Hearing Lin Fan's joking tone, everyone present couldn't help but laugh.
At the same time, their gazes towards Lin Fan subtly became more gentle.
Before anyone else could speak, Lin Fan looked around.
Then, his eyes fell upon Uncle Li and Zhang Gen Sheng, and he said: "Uncle Li, Uncle Si...you two handle things here..."
"I've found quite a few medicinal herbs in the area, I'll go take a look..."
Uncle Li wanted to remind Lin Fan to be careful, but thinking back to the previous scene and the tiger's body still lying in a pool of blood.
He swallowed the words that were already at the tip of his tongue.
Even so, he still nodded slightly to Lin Fan and said: "Be careful, don't go too far..."
"Uncle Li, don't worry, I'll just take a walk around here..."
After taking a walk around, Lin Fan didn't directly start collecting the herbs.
Instead, he carefully observed the Wild Boar Gorge!
This Wild Boar Gorge truly was a treasure trove, not to mention small animals like wild chickens and rabbits.
There were even large beasts like wild boars and tigers!
Besides that, there were countless rare plants and herbs.
Lin Fan simply glanced around and he spotted numerous precious herbs.
Several Ganoderma lucidum, each the size of a person's palm, and he even saw a few wild ginseng plants.
Coming to a shady spot, Lin Fan found a familiar plant and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"These...these are wild Gastrodia elata..."
Muttering to himself, Lin Fan walked a few steps to this familiar plant and directly dug one up to check it out.
Finally, a wild Gastrodia elata, the size of a baby's palm, with wrinkles all over it, was directly dug up by Lin Fan.
Lin Fan weighed it slightly, this freshly dug Gastrodia elata weighed at least half a jin!
Looking at this patch of Gastrodia elata, there were at least hundreds of them.
If he dug up all of this patch of Gastrodia elata, he could harvest at least two to three hundred jin of fresh wild Gastrodia elata.
Most importantly, the Gastrodia elata that Lin Fan had casually dug up had already reached the special grade.
The quality of this entire patch of Gastrodia elata, even if it couldn't all reach this level.
But due to the fertile environment of the Wild Boar Gorge, at least eight out of ten could reach the special grade.
In this era, this was definitely a very valuable harvest!
Seeing this, Lin Fan dug up some, roughly dozens of jin of fresh Gastrodia elata, and put them into his storage space.
Then, he collected some other valuable medicinal herbs in the area before he couldn't help but sigh and say:
"This Wild Boar Gorge is truly a rare treasure..."
Just by simply taking a walk around, Lin Fan's storage space was filled with dozens of kinds of herbs.
At the same time, Uncle Li and the others had already finished dealing with the dozen or so wild boars, along with the tiger that Lin Fan had taken down.
