Looking at the ancient dagger in his hand, Du Jiang looked at the figure that had disappeared in the woods, and suddenly sighed. What a thing! If he had known earlier, he would have taken a walk around the periphery. Although there was nothing good to find, the occasional small bud was also a good choice.

He looked down at the prey beside his legs. It was what Huo Yang left behind when he left. He didn't know whether he forgot about it or because he trusted Du Jiang, but no matter which one it was, Du Jiang was tied up tightly and there was no way he could walk far.

Although he was a little unhappy, when he thought about what Huo Yang had just said, Du Jiang thought that since he had come here anyway, he might as well give it a try.

After finishing the steamed bun in his hand, Du Jiang drank a few sips of hot water to warm his hands and feet, then picked up the dagger and began to grope around with himself as the starting point.

Although he felt that Huo Yang's words were a bit exaggerated and even a bit false, when he found the ginseng leaves, Du Jiang was still a little dazed. Looking at the leaves in his hand, Du Jiang subconsciously wanted to take out the book on the shelf for comparison, but fortunately he restrained himself rationally.

Although the leaves had turned yellow and even fell off at the touch, the branches were growing well. Most importantly, it was exactly the same as described in the book. Following the branches to the surface, Du Jiang quickly took out a dagger and began to dig along the surrounding soil. Because he couldn't figure out the size of the ginseng underneath, Du Jiang dug very carefully. Perhaps because it had snowed, the soil on the ground was extremely hard, and Du Jiang had to stop after digging for a while.

"It's so troublesome," Du Jiang scratched his head, turned around and took out a small shovel from the backpack he was carrying.

With a shovel in his left hand and a dagger in his right hand, Du Jiang finally pulled out a part of the ginseng head connected to the branch. Looking at the slightly yellow part connected to the rhizome, Du Jiang dug a hole around it. When the hole was dug, Du Jiang's eyes almost lit up, because based on the size of the rhizome, Du Jiang could predict that the whole ginseng was probably not small.

Thinking of this, Du Jiang pursed his lips and dug more carefully.

When Huo Yang came back dragging the wild boar's leg, Du Jiang's body had been completely exposed like a ginseng. Looking at the sturdy appearance, Du Jiang's breathing became hot. She was so focused that she didn't notice the movement behind her at all.

So when the whole ginseng was dug out, Du Jiang turned around and saw Huo Yang. Holding the ginseng, Du Jiang was stunned and asked, "When did you come back? Why is there no sound?"

"Just when you dug halfway," Huo Yang pointed at the ginseng in Du Jiang's hand and shrugged, "I stepped more heavily. Who knew you were so focused on that ginseng that you didn't notice me at all."

Du Jiang was silent as he watched the wild boar behind Huo Yang, which was so large that he couldn't hide it. He must have been concentrating so hard to ignore such a big noise. However, when he saw the ginseng in his hand, which was as thick as a baby's thigh, Du Jiang felt that it was understandable. "Brother Huo, look at this ginseng. It's quite big. It can definitely be exchanged for a lot of things."

"That's true. This area is shady and very suitable for the growth of ginseng. If you have read any books on geography, you should know that there are probably quite a lot of ginseng on this mountain."

Uh, Huo Yang's words instantly made Du Jiang feel that the ginseng in his hand was no longer fragrant. "Are there really that much?"

"Yes, there are, but whether you can find it depends on luck," Huo Yang shrugged and pulled the wild boar towards the skin, then raised his knife and separated the wild boar's head and body.

Huo Yang's series of actions did not hide anything from Du Jiang. Du Jiang felt a little upset when he saw his agile appearance. He grinded his back teeth a few times, "Brother Huo, have you forgotten that I'm a girl? Can you be more reserved next time? Such a bloody scene will give me nightmares, okay?"

Huo Yang disagreed. "Really? When did you become so timid? I heard that you were so focused on watching the pig being slaughtered in the square, without even blinking."

"Who is slandering me like this?" Huo Yang only gave Du Jiang a half-smile at her and then continued with his work. Looking at the neatly cut pork pieces, Du Jiang frowned and said, "Brother Huo, why did you cut them into pieces? How are we going to get them down the mountain?"

"Who said I'm going home? I'm going to town. Do you want to come with me? The ginseng in your hand will be damaged if it is not soaked in water to make medicinal effects. Do you want to go to town with me?"

He felt a little moved, but Du Jiang looked up at the sun in the sky and immediately rejected Huo Yang's proposal. "No, I'd better go home first. If I go down the mountain now, I will probably be home before sunset. I don't want to alarm the whole village."

"That's true. Please tell me a message when you go back." Huo Yang's cloth bag was like a treasure bag. Looking at the sack that the other party took out later, Du Jiang didn't know what to say, "Your cloth bag can hold quite a lot of things."

Huo Yang, who was putting meat into the sack, looked at the cloth bag, then looked at Du Jiang without saying a word. After putting all the meat into the sack, he handed the cloth bag to Du Jiang.

Du Jiang looked at the cloth bag and pointed at himself, afraid that he might have misunderstood. "It's for me."

"Yes, it's for you. I made a small bow and arrow. You can try it." Hearing this, Du Jiang took the cloth bag curiously. As he took out the things inside, Du Jiang looked at the exquisite bow and arrow without saying a word, his eyes full of admiration.

Looking at the expression on Du Jiang's face, Huo Yang knew without asking that he was extremely satisfied. He immediately drew an arrow from his quiver and said, "Try it."

Du Jiang didn't beat around the bush and immediately used his free hand to string the bow. His movements were so smooth and smooth that he looked indescribably heroic.

Unfortunately, the accuracy is not very good.

Looking at the arrow that fell to the ground before reaching the tree, Du Jiang looked embarrassed and said, "Sorry, I just need to practice that."

"That's true. Go back and practice in the house. I made it smaller than normal to suit your strength." Huo Yang nodded, then vigorously picked up the sack and put it on his shoulder. "Let's go down the mountain."

Du Jiang nodded, then put the cloth bag and ginseng in the backpack and followed Huo Yang down the mountain.

Compared to the winding path up the mountain, the way down was a straight line. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Du Jiang looked back at the deep mountains behind him and couldn't help but admire Huo Yang's strong sense of direction. "Brother Huo, how about you help me sell this one?"

“I won’t keep it anymore.”

Du Jiang shook his head. "I don't know how to prepare it yet. If I keep it, its efficacy will be lost. It's better to sell it. But it's not convenient for me to go to town today. How about Brother Huo take it to the hospital in town for me?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will take your ginseng and deny it?"

“Don’t employ a person you doubt, and don’t doubt a person you employ.” Du Jiang showed his big white teeth, and Huo Yang also smiled. “Don’t worry, I promise to sell it to you at a good price.”
