"Hello players, there are some things you need to be careful about. First of all, you must comply with the law."

"What? What did you say? Legal and compliant?!" After hearing the words from the treasure chest, Xu Ning felt like he was still asleep.

"That's right, wild ginseng is a national second-level protected plant. Illegal collection, trading of wild ginseng are all illegal. But this is not your original country, you don't have to abide by this." The treasure chest continued to explain the law to Xu Ning seriously.

"What else?" Xu Ning asked speechlessly.

"Choose the right time to dig it, usually autumn or winter is the best time, because that's when wild ginseng has the best medicinal properties."

Xu Ning: ...

So she had to wait until autumn to dig again? How could that be possible?

The treasure chest knew Xu Ning wouldn't wait, so it continued, "When digging wild ginseng, you also need to pay attention to the digging method. Don't damage the root system and growth environment of the wild ginseng. Generally speaking, you can use a small shovel or a small hoe to dig. Dig up the soil around the wild ginseng, then remove the wild ginseng intact. Finally, you need to fill the soil back to the original place to protect the growth environment of the wild ginseng."

"Don't you need to tie a red rope or something?" Xu Ning asked.

"Players who don't need it, this kind of red string is only needed for thousand-year-old ginseng. The ginseng here is only a few hundred years old and hasn't become a spirit, so it doesn't need to be tied. However, you have to be careful, the environment where wild ginseng grows may have poisonous snakes and the like nearby."

"Okay, I understand. You can leave now." Xu Ning felt that if she listened to the treasure box's legal education any longer, she would not be able to help but want to beat it up.

The fat fox was still barking at its feet. For some reason, Xu Ning didn't follow it into the cave.

Xu Ning waved at it: "Go and take out everything in the cave. I'll wait for you here."

The hole dug by the fat fox must be one that only it could fit into. Xu Ning didn't plan to follow and watch, as digging ginseng was more important.

This large patch of ginseng, like the radishes planted in the vegetable garden, would take her at least three days and three nights to dig up all of it.

Xu Ning took out the small shovel and hoe used for planting flowers and began to dig the soil next to the ginseng. While digging, she kept an eye out because the grass and trees here were dense and it was easy for snakes to come out.

When the fat fox saw Xu Ning turned around and dug grass and ignored it, it turned around and finally went into the cave by itself.

The ewe ate the carrot with a crunching sound, glancing towards Xu Ning from time to time.

Xu Ning dug the ginseng carefully. When the ginseng roots appeared, she decisively gave up the tools and started digging with her hands.

Although Xu Ning didn't know much about pharmacology, he knew that every root of ginseng was important. For example, a small piece of root of a hundred-year-old ginseng could save a life at a critical moment.

So Xu Ning dug extremely carefully, trying to dig out every root even as thin as a hair.

Xu Ning was digging so seriously that he didn't notice for a moment that a poisonous snake was slowly crawling towards him from a distance.

The ewe noticed it, put down the carrot, and stared motionlessly in the direction the poisonous snake was coming from.

On the other side of the cave, a fat fox also came out with a mouthful of jewels and was running towards Xu Ning happily.

The ewe was a little anxious. The poisonous snake was getting closer and closer, but Xu Ning hadn't noticed it yet and was still digging ginseng seriously. The ewe could only kick the ground to remind Xu Ning.

But by the time Xu Ning discovered it, it was too late. The poisonous snake shot towards her like an arrow.

Xu Ning tensed his whole body and tried to dodge. At the critical moment, he found that he could not dodge and planned to put the snake into the space, but at the same moment, a red light flashed, and the poisonous snake that was about to bite Xu Ning's thigh was slapped away.

Xu Ning???

Xu Ning looked again and saw that the poisonous snake had been bitten into two pieces by the fat fox.

Wow, such speed and skill, worthy of being a fox. The poisonous snake was bitten in half at the seven inches and is dead.

The fat fox spat out the unpalatable snake aside, opened its mouth and barked at Xu Ning. The sound was still so "unique", but Xu Ning no longer felt so annoyed when he heard it. He even felt at ease when he heard it.

"Thank you for your hard work, little fatty. I'll treat you to a whole roast chicken tonight." Xu Ning's hands were covered in mud. He wanted to touch the dog's head, but then he thought better of it.

When the fat fox heard her words, he jumped several times in joy on the spot and came over to rub against Xu Ning. Xu Ning's trouser legs were covered in mud, and then he remembered that this guy had gone into a hole.

Xu Ning held back and let his hand fall on its head. The conditioner he used last night was very useful. It felt soft, smooth and comfortable to the touch.

"Thank you, little fox." Xu Ning's eyes were very gentle. The fat fox forgot to react when he saw Xu Ning like this.

The sound of "crunch, crunch" was heard as the ewe ate carrots, and Xu Ning also noticed the jewelry thrown aside by the fat fox.

This time it bit out some gold. Xu Ning took a look and found that it should be the kind worth ten taels each. It seemed that she was really going to be rich today.

"Come on, little fox! Bring out all the treasures. I'll take care of your meals from now on!"

"Wow~" The fat fox turned around happily again, then immediately turned around and ran away again.

Xu Ning let out a breath and continued digging her ginseng.

After an afternoon, Xu Ning unearthed more than a dozen century-old ginseng roots. She had examined the treasure chest and found that the largest was nearly five hundred years old, and the smallest was two hundred.

And these are only a small part of what Xu Ning dug. She dug them by picking them up. Xu Ning estimated that if she dug all the big ones, it would take at least five or six days at her speed.

Considering safety issues, Xu Ning didn't dare to stay here at night. Her safety could be guaranteed, but a fox and a sheep were not safe, and she didn't want to see a python or a big black bear as soon as she opened her eyes.
