"Dr. Luo, what are you doing?"

Lu Qiqi patted her chest, feigning anger.

Doctor Luo chuckled, looking like a seasoned veteran. "You're too naive, aren't you? This is to scare away the wild ginseng spirit. If you don't shout, it will run away!"

Lu Qiqi's face darkened. She didn't know if Ye Shen had been fooled, but she herself was quite frightened.

Ignoring Doctor Luo, Lu Qiqi continued to squat down and dig for wild ginseng.

Wild ginseng roots are crisscrossed and difficult to dig up. You also have to be careful not to damage the skin of the wild ginseng, as damage will greatly reduce its value.

Therefore, Lu Qiqi was extra careful when digging up this wild ginseng, for fear of losing a lot of hard-earned money.

"Use this."

Doctor Luo took out a soft cloth bag and handed it to Lu Qiqi.

She unfolded the soft cloth bag, and inside were bamboo strips, bamboo skewers, scissors, and a calligraphy brush.

This brush is not the same as that brush; its bristles are flat and it has no tip, instead resembling the tea brush among the six gentlemen of tea ceremony.

Lu Qiqi didn't say much, and directly pulled out the bamboo strips to start digging.

She didn't know how long she had been lying on the ground, but her back felt numb. Despite the discomfort, she carefully dug out the last bit of the wild ginseng's roots.

The wild ginseng was finally dug out, and the two exhausted people sat on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief.

Dr. Luo couldn't help but exclaim, "In all my life, this is the first time I've ever dug up such a complete wild ginseng!"

"So, Doctor Luo, you've dug up quite a few wild ginsengs? Where? Take me there and make some fortune too?"

Lu Qiqi held the wild ginseng she had just dug up, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Doctor Luo.

Doctor Luo felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze, which was as if she were looking at a god of wealth. He coughed lightly and said, "You're lucky if you can dig once in your life. You're so greedy, you want to dig several more times!"

Lu Qiqi thought to herself, 'Of course, the more the better; who would complain about having too much money?'

Moreover, she had previously sold vegetable seeds to Tianping Village and used the money that Tianping Village borrowed from Tianlong Village to buy medicinal herb seeds and exchange them for tree seedlings with Tianmiao Village.

This operation seems like using the money for vegetable seeds to plant trees on the hillside in Tianshui Village, but the medicinal herb seeds needed to replace the seedlings are very expensive!

The labor costs for planting trees have been considerable, and she is now truly poor!

Moreover, she had previously spent her own money to dig out ginseng from her spatial storage to save the villagers; with so much ginseng, she couldn't even recoup the money she spent on ginseng seeds.

Money is something you can't keep track of; the more you calculate it, the more it hurts.

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it. At least she got a fiefdom, and the money from taxes, the two mountains, and the paper mill will only increase, not decrease.

I got another wild ginseng today, my luck is just too good to be true!

Thinking this way, her mood instantly improved.

Lu Qiqi carefully put the ginseng away and then stood up, saying, "Doctor Luo, I still need to pick some cypress leaves. Would you like to come with me, or wait here for me?"

Dr. Luo, an old man, had been digging for wild ginseng for several hours with his buttocks sticking out, and was so tired that he could hardly move.

He waved his hand and said, "Go by yourself, I'll wait for you here. Go quickly and come back soon."

"Okay, I'll come back to find you after I've finished picking them."

After saying that, Lu Qiqi carried her basket and walked into the depths of the forest.

The wild ginseng she had previously stored away was put into her spatial storage the moment she turned around.

...

Lu Qiqi found a cypress grove, chopped down a tree with great force, and put it into her spatial storage.

The leaves from one cypress tree are enough for her to make shampoo.

She put the wood-chopping knife into her basket, carried the empty basket back to the place where she was digging for wild ginseng, and went down the mountain with Doctor Luo.

"Why is it empty?" Doctor Luo asked, puzzled, when he saw the empty basket.

Lu Qiqi touched her nose and lied, "I couldn't find it."

She didn't pick any cypress leaves, because she really thought the mountain path was difficult to walk on.

Doctor Luo nodded, even more certain in his heart that Lu Qiqi was the chosen one.

I was looking for some arborvitae leaves, but instead of finding any, I dug up some wild ginseng.

This person is so lucky; he has lived most of his life and has only ever met this one person!

Lu Qiqi, unaware of what Doctor Luo was thinking, quickened her pace and returned to Tianxin Village.

Back in Tianxin Village, Lu Qiqi originally planned to discuss with Doctor Luo how to divide the wild ginseng.

After all, they went into the mountains together, and according to the rules, the wild ginseng they dug up should be shared between the two of them.

Doctor Luo showed no intention of parting ways. He walked to the gate of his courtyard and then parted ways with Lu Qiqi.

Lu Qiqi returned to her own courtyard and entered the main room. Just as she put down the empty basket, she heard a commotion outside the courtyard.

"Doctor! Doctor!"

"Help!"

Hearing someone shout for help, Lu Qiqi didn't have time to think and ran out of the courtyard.

When she ran to the courtyard gate, she saw two villagers on either side of her, with another villager in the middle.

The villager, who was being supported, had blood all over his head, which was drooping as if he had fainted.

At this moment, Doctor Luo also ran out of his own courtyard.

He was half-undressed, presumably to change, when he was interrupted by the villagers' cries for help.

The two went forward to check on him, and Doctor Luo spoke first, "Help him into the courtyard first."

Two villagers immediately carried the injured villager into Doctor Luo's courtyard.

Dr. Luo led the way, pushed open a door, and had someone help the villager who had been given the gift to bed.

Just as they were about to lay the injured villager flat, Lu Qiqi hurriedly said, "Don't let him lie flat, support his head first."

The villagers did as instructed, and Doctor Luo sat down by the bed to take their pulse.

Lu Qiqi ran back and brought over a first-aid kit.

She had prepared the first-aid kit some time ago to prepare for emergencies, and it came in handy in the current situation.

"Quickly, bring a basin of water over."

After instructing the villagers, Lu Qiqi immediately used cotton and gauze to stop the bleeding of the injured villagers.

The villagers' faces were covered in blood, which was dark red and clearly had been left to dry for some time.

If the bleeding isn't stopped, the blood loss alone could be fatal.

Without a care in the world, Lu Qiqi quickly stitched up the villager's injuries.

The villager had completely fainted and was unaware of pain, so she did not use hallucinogenic leaves to anesthetize him.

However, while getting stitches, Lu Qiqi discovered that the head was split open, clearly indicating that it had been injured by a sharp weapon.

She paused for a moment, looking at the villager's flushed face.

After the stitches were finished, the villager's head was also completely wrapped up.

Doctor Luo's prescription has been prepared, and someone is to hurry up and get the medicine.

Since lives were at stake, Lu Qiqi gave the villagers the silver so they could go get the medicine first. Otherwise, it would take who knows how much longer it would take for him to go home and get the money.

After the villager who got the medicine left, besides the person lying unconscious in bed, there was another villager who brought someone there.

Lu Qiqi asked, "What happened to his injury?"

Immediately, Lu Qiqi realized that the villagers in front of her were not from Tianxin Village!
