An hour later.

Chu Yue went from one pine tree to another, sitting on the top of each pine tree and cutting off the branches with pine cones one by one.

There are pine cones all over the ground under the pine trees. (Picture)

Chu Yue climbed down from the pine tree, took off her spiked shoes, put them into her personal space, and then sorted out the pine cones on the ground.

The pine cones are large oval shapes, weighing almost half a pound each, and are cut from the branches and placed together.

In a short while, there was a pile as big as a small hill.

It would be impossible to carry so many pine cones back in Chu Yue's small bamboo backpack, so she put most of them into the space, just to fill up the bamboo basket.

Even so, the total weight is probably around 50 to 60 kilograms.

Chu Yue didn't even blink and carried it on her back easily.

Lu Yuanbao was still halfway up the mountain, as he was worried about such a young child. After returning with a full load of pine cones, Chu Yue did not look for other mountain products, but went straight down the mountain.

She wanted to leave, but the prey came to her door.

When Chu Yue was halfway there, she suddenly heard "clack" and "clack" sounds coming from the woods.

It's a very familiar sound, it's a chicken.

And it's a wild pheasant.

Chu Yue had good eyesight and spotted the black-haired wild pheasants in the woods at a glance. They were strong and had shiny hair, completely different from the big domestic hens.

And the pheasant's claws are black.

It should be a relative of the black-bone chicken in terms of bloodline.

The nutritional value of black-bone chicken is self-evident, and these two wild pheasants must be good too.

Since they came to her door themselves, Chu Yue won't be polite.

She took out the fishing net from the space and threw it towards the pheasant.

Hit the target in one shot!

“Clack!” “Clack!” “Clack!”

Amid the sharp cries of wild pheasants, Chu Yue walked over, pulled up the net and took a look, and found that there were actually two of them.

Kill two birds with one stone!

There is a small chicken hidden under a big chicken.

I was thinking of making chestnut stewed chicken, and the chicken was delivered to my door.

This time it was effortless.

Wild pheasants are more aggressive than domestic hens. Chu Yue quickly grabbed the pheasant's claws and quickly turned it upside down.

In this way, even if the pheasant flapped its wings again, it would not be able to do vertical sit-ups and stand up to peck Chu Yue's hand.

In this way.

When Chu Yue went down the mountain, she not only carried a full bamboo basket on her back, but also held two chickens in her left and right hands.

"Yuanbao, I'm back."

When Chu Yue walked to the place where they dug yams again, she didn't see Lu Yuanbao for a moment.

But the sound of the hoe, dong dong dong, is right here. It’s impossible that Lu Yuanbao is missing.

"Yuanbao?"

As Chu Yue shouted louder, an echo came from a small pit.

"I—I'm here."

Lu Yuanbao was digging yam so enthusiastically that he never stopped for a moment, and unknowingly dug a small hole in the earth, which was nearly half a meter deep and filled the little Lu Yuanbao.

When Lu Yuanbao looked up, he popped his head out of the pit like a groundhog.

He was covered in dirty mud, with some on his face and hair, and he looked very funny.

Chu Yue couldn't help laughing. She walked over and patted Lu Yuanbao on the head, helped him shake off the dirt on his head, then grabbed his hand, took off his work gloves, and checked it carefully.

After working non-stop for several hours, although Lu Yuanbao's hands were protected by gloves, the palms of his hands had become red from being rubbed.

If you continue doing this, you will definitely get blisters.

"Don't do that again."

Chu Yue ordered, grabbing Lu Yuanbao's hands and pulling him out of the pit.

Lu Yuanbao obeyed obediently and did not argue. He grinned with his brightest smile ever, wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, and said happily.

"Look! I dug these out."

"So many! My Yuanbao is really amazing!"

Chu Yue praised with a smile, and it was not a compliment. Lu Yuanbao had indeed dug up a lot, and there was already a pile of long and short yams placed aside.

etc!

Yam?

What is that?

Chu Yue just took a quick look at first, but found something incredible in the pile of yams.

It is a little thinner than yam and looks like a dried radish. It has more roots, some of which are long and thin.

Lu Yuanbao dug very carefully and did not cut the roots, so they were still intact.

Chu Yue blinked, walked over quickly, picked up the one that didn't look like a yam at all from the pile of yams, got close and smelled it——

It's ginseng!

It’s actually ginseng!

"Lu Yuanbao, you really are a fortune-bringing ingot!"

Chu Yue was so excited that she didn't care that Lu Yuanbao was covered in dirt and hugged him tightly.

Lu Yuanbao blushed at the sudden hug and said in a panic, "I... I'm dirty..."

"This little dirt is nothing, just go back and wash it! You dug up a big treasure!"

Lu Yuanbao didn't know what ginseng was. Looking at Chu Yue's excited smile, he asked with his dark eyes wide open, "Is this thing... very valuable?"

"Of course it's worth it."

"More valuable than... pork belly?"

"With this thing, we can eat pork belly every meal!"

The ginseng in Chu Yue's hand was as big as her palm. Thanks to Lu Yuanbao's carefulness, the roots were preserved very intact, so the quality was very good.

Such a big and good quality ginseng, which is wild, is worth at least a few hundred dollars!

But you can't eat pork belly every meal.

When Lu Yuanbao heard that he could eat pork belly every meal, his eyes widened and he wished he could go back into the pile of dirt and try to dig out another one.

But such things are hard to come by.

They have gained a lot from this trip up the mountain, so they should be content.

Chu Yue asked Lu Yuanbao to rest aside while she filled the soil dug out from the side of the pit back in. In this way, after a few years, new yams and new ginseng might grow out.

There were big tomatoes, chestnuts, yams, a lot of pine cones, and two wild pheasants.

Chu Yue's bamboo backpack was not only full, but also had a bunch of things tied on it.

She was carrying and holding things on her back, and her hands were full. Lu Yuanbao was no less burdened, with things on his back and in his hands. Even though they were so heavy, he was smiling happily.

As for the ginseng, Chu Yue picked up a bunch of soft leaves, picked up the ginseng, carefully placed it against her chest, and put it into the spiritual treasure space, being sure not to destroy its appearance.

The downhill path was not easy to walk on, and it became even more difficult with the heavy luggage on my body.

Chu Yue deliberately controlled her speed of going down the mountain, trying to walk as slowly as possible.

"Yuanbao, do you want to stop and take a rest?"

"No need to rest, I can keep going."

The little child still insisted stubbornly. The mother and son walked on the mountain road. The setting sun cast a golden glow on them.

When they were almost at the gate of the family compound, Lu Yuanbao suddenly spoke.

"It's Daddy! There he is!"

Chu Yue looked up and saw Lu Zhanlin in the crowd.
