Chapter 148 What a lucky day today!
The fire lit up, and Qi Shuangshuang placed the damp dead branches she had picked up next to the fire to dry.
The cold night became warm because of the fire.
In addition, Gu Xiaoxi secretly used the heat-gathering technique, so the four people sitting by the fire did not feel cold.
Lu Jiansen brought a sleeping bag and a blanket. He gave the blanket to Si Nanyu, then helped his little girl take off her shoes and carried her into the sleeping bag.
Although the sleepy Gu Xiaoxi was a little shy, she still did not refuse Lu Jiansen's arrangement and let him hold her obediently.
She nestled in his arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Si Nanyu was very tactful and gave the blanket in his hand to Qi Shuangshuang.
He couldn't do what Lu Jiansen did, so he had to move the fire closer to Qi Shuangshuang to prevent her from getting cold.
Qi Shuangshuang felt that even though she was eating the dog food provided by Gu Xiaoxi and Lu Jiansen, she felt quite happy in her heart.
Four people were resting silently, two were awake, and one was wrapped in a blanket and trying to sleep.
Only Gu Xiaoxi slept without any psychological burden.
After dawn, Gu Xiaoxi woke up in a daze.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I was kissed on the forehead. "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
Gu Xiaoxi reached out and rubbed his eyes, then glanced at the watch on his hand. It was already half past six.
She sat up, her voice lazily and naively, "No need to sleep. You must be tired, right?"
"I rested too." Lu Jiansen carried the little girl out of the sleeping bag, put on her shoes for her, then stood up and moved his arms and legs.
It was only at this time that Gu Xiaoxi discovered that Si Nanyu and Qi Shuangshuang were gone.
However, before she could ask, Lu Jiansen had already explained, "People have three urgent needs, and they went to find a place to solve it."
Gu Xiaoxi coughed lightly, her face slightly reddened, "I want to go, too."
"Then let's go east." Lu Jiansen said softly.
"I'll go by myself." Gu Xiaoxi refused to accompany.
Lu Jiansen chuckled and said, "I want to go too."
Gu Xiaoxi suddenly stopped talking.
The two walked east together, and when they reached an area with dense trees and weeds, one went left and the other went right to resolve the major issue in their lives.
Just as Gu Xiaoxi stood up and prepared to leave, he saw several pheasant eggs in the weeds.
She was stunned for a moment, her fingers trembled slightly, and the moment she pushed aside the weeds, she actually saw a pile of pheasant eggs.
A rough count showed that there were at least dozens of them.
She was delighted and hurriedly called out, "Lu Jiansen, come here quickly!"
Lu Jiansen had not walked far at first, but when he heard the little girl's voice, he took three steps at a time and ran over quickly.
"What's wrong?"
His voice was anxious, and it was obvious that he was afraid that something had happened to her.
"Look, they're pheasant eggs!" Gu Xiaoxi pointed to the place where the pheasant eggs were found.
Lu Jiansen took a look, then breathed a sigh of relief, bent down and helped pick up the pheasant eggs on the ground one by one.
Gu Xiaoxi pulled out the weeds around him.
Unexpectedly, she found another pile of pheasant eggs two meters away.
"Lu Jiansen, there are some here too. Why do pheasants lay eggs here?" She was so excited that her voice was filled with uncontrollable joy.
Lu Jiansen naturally didn't understand why there were only pheasant eggs here but no pheasants. But since he saw pheasant eggs, he just picked them up.
Gu Xiaoxi was walking around excitedly, and two minutes later she shouted in surprise again.
"Wow...wow...wow...I am so lucky today..."
When Lu Jiansen heard the sound, he looked and saw his little girl squatting on the ground checking something. The excitement in her voice was beyond words.
He walked over and saw that there was a small piece of ginseng in front of her.
Yes, a small patch, not just one plant, probably about a dozen or twenty plants.
He even wondered if this patch of ginseng was once planted by someone.
Otherwise, why would there be a piece of ginseng?
After checking the age of these ginsengs, Gu Xiaoxi sighed with regret.
"Alas, the longest one is only about sixty years old."
Lu Jiansen squatted beside her, took a look at her, then turned his head and kissed her little face, which had lost its excitement.
"It doesn't matter. Sixty years is good too!"
"Then go get something to hold it in, and I'll start digging first." Gu Xiaoxi soon perked up.
"Okay." Lu Jiansen immediately got up to get the things.
He couldn't even take so many pheasant eggs.
Gu Xiaoxi first dug out all the ginseng that was less than ten years old, planted them back in the small companion space, and then counted the remaining ginseng.
Well, there are 5 trees that are 10-15 years old, 3 trees that are 20-30 years old, 1 tree that is 50 years old, and only 1 tree that is 60 years old. The total number is still quite a lot.
When Lu Jiansen called his superiors Nan Yu and Qi Shuangshuang over, she had already perfectly pulled out the 60-year-old ginseng.
When Qi Shuangshuang saw so many ginsengs, her eyes widened. "Xiaoxi, your luck is really bad. My grandfather said that some people with good luck can find a ginseng nest. I'm afraid you have found a ginseng nest!"
Gu Xiaoxi laughed, "Dig quickly. Oh, and pack the pheasant eggs. It was because of them that I discovered this place."
Si Nanyu was also amazed, but he did not go to dig ginseng. Instead, he went to pack up all the pheasant eggs.
When he and Qi Shuangshuang were digging ginseng before, he accidentally broke several ginseng roots, and she was so distressed that she almost cried.
Today he was a little hesitant to take action.
Qi Shuangshuang felt that she needed to practice and was very nervous, so she started digging ginseng from younger years.
Gu Xiaoxi is in charge of the older ginseng.
Lu Jiansen was also helping, but he was digging very carefully.
After Si Nanyu finished packing the pheasant eggs, he came over to watch and said with some emotion: "I feel that these pheasant eggs must be very nutritious. Maybe these pheasants choose to lay eggs here because there is ginseng here and the hens have eaten ginseng leaves. These pheasant eggs are obviously more shiny and larger than the pheasant eggs I have seen before."
Gu Xiaoxi looked back and thought that what Si Nanyu said might be right.
"But what about the pheasants?"
There was not a single pheasant to be seen nearby.
"Is it possible that the pheasants only come here to lay eggs?" Si Nanyu guessed.
In fact, they had already entered the deep mountains and walked quite a long way.
They were lucky and didn't encounter any wild beasts, but that doesn't mean there are no wild beasts in this forest.
"Let's keep those eggs for ourselves and cook them later," Gu Xiaoxi said immediately.
Qi Shuangshuang was immediately happy, "Great, then our breakfast will be ginseng eggs!"
Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help but laugh, "It sounds delicious."
After she pulled out the fifty-year-old ginseng, she pulled out another thirty-year-old one.
Then, she stood up and said, "Shuangshuang, take your time digging the rest! I'll go make you some ginseng eggs."
"How about I cook it?" Si Nanyu felt it would be more appropriate for him to cook the eggs himself.
How easy it is to boil eggs!
Gu Xiaoxi said, "You can accompany Shuangshuang to dig ginseng together! You will gain experience after digging a few more times."
"Then I'll go make a fire for you." Lu Jiansen was ready to follow his lead.
