"Okay, Brother Yan, I'll leave this place to you. I'll see if there are any medicinal herbs nearby that I can pick and bring back."

"Okay, Niannian, the back mountain is dangerous, so be careful and don't stray too far from me."

"Yes, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

After they separated, Ye Nian'an followed her own experience and looked for some common Chinese medicinal herbs that could treat colds, headaches, and fevers.

Hunting was Chu Yan's area of ​​expertise, but Ye Nian'an was indeed unfamiliar with it.

But she's an expert at finding medicinal herbs and ingredients.

Soon, Ye Nian'an had collected a considerable amount of Bupleurum chinense, Kudzu Root, and Honeysuckle...

Just then, Ye Nian'an noticed something strange.

Under a large tree, the fallen leaves in this area looked like they had been moved.

Moreover, the people who moved the house went to unnecessary lengths, finding some dry branches and covering them with straw.

This only makes the place seem more and more suspicious.

Ye Nian'an tentatively moved the things aside and looked down, her eyes lighting up instantly.

A hole that had been dug out was exposed in front of us, and there was a large ginseng root!

According to Ye Nian'an's naked eye estimation, it's at least a thousand years old! Its roots are deeply embedded in the ground!

Someone must have discovered this thousand-year-old ginseng, but didn't want to destroy its value, so they chose to dig it up little by little instead of cutting off its roots directly.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Meng Sufang's words, Chu Yan and I decided to go to the back mountain on a whim, only to be taken advantage of by Ye Nian'an.

"It seems that Su Mingyue has been frequently coming to the back mountain recently to avoid attracting attention, and that's why... I really didn't expect her to have such good luck and find such a great treasure."

"Is it related to Comrade Meng Sufang's dream? What secrets is Su Mingyue hiding?"

Ye Nian'an became increasingly certain of her own thoughts.

There must be something mysterious about Su Mingyue, silently helping and guiding her from behind the scenes.

Just like Ye Nian'an's space.

That's why I had such a strange feeling about myself and Meng Sufang.

At the same time, her actions were completely illogical.

If everything Su Mingyue is doing now is because someone is guiding her and she has no choice but to do it, then everything makes sense.

Of course, all of this was just Ye Nian'an's speculation.

The most important thing now is to make this giant ginseng our own!

Ye Nian'an tried placing her hand on the ginseng and then storing it in her spatial storage.

With a "whoosh," the ginseng vanished instantly.

Ye Nian'an was secretly delighted. She put the camouflage back on and then took the Chinese medicinal herbs she had picked back to find Chu Yan.

Chu Yan also forced the wild rabbits out of their den and caught two of them.

Ye Nian'an came to Chu Yan's side, her eyes shining as she looked at the rabbit that had already been caught: "Wow, Brother Yan, you're amazing!"

"There are still some inside, but we must leave a little; we can't kill them all."

This is also the philosophy Chu Zhenyuan taught Chu Yan about hunting: only by having a continuous source can there be permanent and sustainable development.

Ye Nian'an nodded: "Brother Yan is right, these two are enough for our family to eat for quite a while."

"Niannian, have you finished searching for the medicinal herbs?"

"You've finished looking for it. Go back now. You'll be starting work soon, so don't be late."

"good."

The two of them returned home with a full load of goods.

After delivering the meal to the Bai family, Su Mingyue made an excuse and rushed to the back mountain with her tools without stopping.

They happened to run into Chu Yan and Ye Nian'an, who were coming down from the back mountain.

Su Mingyue's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively hid, not wanting to be seen by them.

Unexpectedly, Ye Nian'an had already discovered Su Mingyue, but she didn't expose her. Pretending not to see her, she left hand in hand with Chu Yan, chatting and laughing.

Chu Yan carried two dead rabbits in one hand and held Ye Nian'an's hand with the other. Ye Nian'an was carrying a basket full of Chinese medicinal herbs.

Su Mingyue carefully observed the contents of the container to make sure her precious ginseng wasn't inside. Only after Ye Nian'an and Chu Yan left did she dare to step forward.

"I really didn't expect Ye Nian'an and Chu Yan to be here..."

"Are they heading to the mountains? That's great, they might catch a wild rabbit..."

Su Mingyue lightly bit her thin lips.

Compared to Chu Yan, a skilled hunter, Bai Yuxiao was utterly inadequate; he was just a scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken.

Especially when he saw Chu Yan's tall and handsome appearance, holding Ye Nian'an's hand, he felt a great sense of security, and his eyes and heart were filled with the image of his wife.

Although Su Mingyue knew she had no other choice, every time she saw Chu Yan, she would sincerely question this damn system...

If you're going to plan your strategy, why not choose someone like Chu Yan as your target?

This way, Su Mingyue wouldn't have to put in so much effort, and would even be more willing to do it!

well!

Thinking about it was useless, so Su Mingyue quickly headed towards the back of the mountain.

As Su Mingyue got closer to the location of the thousand-year-old ginseng, she suddenly had an ominous premonition.

I remember when she came last night, this place wasn't like this.

It seems that other people have passed by here.

With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Su Mingyue quickened her pace and hurried to the tree.

Lift the fallen leaves and dry grass covering it to reveal the pit inside...

"Gone? Why is it gone!"

Su Mingyue could hardly believe her eyes.

Such a large ginseng root simply vanished into thin air!

The condition of this pit is exactly the same as when Su Mingyue came last night.

She also wanted to work harder this afternoon to dig up all the ginseng and hide it elsewhere, waiting for the right time to transport it to a suitable place to sell it.

Now it's all gone!

"Could this be Ye Nian'an's doing?"

Su Mingyue was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder.

Just then, Chu Yan and Ye Nian'an went up the back mountain.

Her ginseng was gone.

It's impossible for such a coincidence to happen!

Where exactly is Ye Nian'an hiding?

Judging from the basket she was carrying and Chu Yan's hands, it didn't look like there was ginseng.

Thinking of this, Su Mingyue had to check one last time before rushing down the back mountain.

But unexpectedly, at the foot of the mountain, he lost his footing and fell flat on his face...

When Su Mingyue returned to the Bai family covered in injuries...

Bai Yuxiao was still wondering why Su Mingyue hadn't returned yet, and stood at the door looking around.

Seeing Su Mingyue limping back, Bai Yuxiao was shocked and quickly stepped forward: "Mingyue, are you...are you alright?"

"Yu Xiao..."

When she saw Bai Yuxiao, Su Mingyue finally couldn't hold back anymore and threw herself into his arms, crying her heart out.

"Oh dear, Mingyue, what happened? Don't cry... You need to get your injuries treated first!"

Bai Yuxiao quickly led Su Mingyue back to her room and applied some homemade herbs to her wounds.

"Brother-in-law, why hasn't Su Zhiqing returned yet? We're starving!"
