Chapter 156: I didn’t show off successfully, and I felt even more upset

Twenty minutes later, Qi Shuangshuang suddenly shouted in surprise, "Xiaoxi, I found ginseng!"

Gu Xiaoxi walked over immediately.

However, before she could get close to Qi Shuangshuang, someone rushed over faster than her.

It’s Fu Jiani!

"Is this ginseng? It turns out that ginseng leaves look like this."

As she spoke, she had already started to pull it out.

Qi Shuangshuang slapped her hand away in annoyance, "Pulling it like this will damage the roots of the ginseng. Go find it yourself. I don't need your help."

Fu Jiani withdrew her hand awkwardly and glanced at Qi Shuangshuang with a dark look.

Gu Xiaoxi frowned and stood beside Qi Shuangshuang and watched for a while.

This ginseng is about seven or eight years old, but because it is the first ginseng that Qi Shuangshuang has discovered herself, she is quite excited.

"Just dig slowly!"

Gu Xiaoxi didn't stay here to join in the fun, but went to look somewhere else.

However, until Qi Shuangshuang dug out the ginseng, no one else had found ginseng.

Zhang Bingyi had no choice but to expand the scope of his search.

Twenty minutes later, Gu Xiaoxi waved to Zhang Bingyi and said, "Come over here, there is ginseng here!"

Zhang Bingyi was stunned for a moment, but still walked over.

Where Gu Xiaoxi stood, he saw a ginseng that was about twenty years old.

He looked at her in a daze, "Aren't you going to dig it yourself?"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "This place is within the range marked by your grandpa. Although I discovered the ginseng, in order to thank your grandpa, I would like you to dig this ginseng and bring it home to him. Didn't you also say that your grandpa needs ginseng?"

Zhang Bingyi blushed and nodded, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Gu Xiaoxi said, and then went to look somewhere else.

Fu Jiani looked at Zhang Bingyi with envy.

He didn't have to look for it, Gu Xiaoxi gave him what he found.

After a moment's silence, she suddenly ran to Gu Xiaoxi.

"Sister Gu, can you also help me find a ginseng?"

Gu Xiaoxi: “…”

She didn't know what to say now.

Zhang Bingyi couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Zhong Jue coughed lightly but did not say anything to stop it.

Gu Xiaoxi stared at Fu Jiani, who was pretending to be ignorant, and said calmly, "Ginseng is hard to find and is very valuable. If I find it, it will definitely be mine! You should just look for it yourself! Just like when you hunt wild boars, don't you also do it yourself, process it yourself, and sell it for money?"

The following words were very straightforward and a bit harsh, so even if Fu Jiani wanted to play dumb, she couldn't do it anymore.

Qi Shuangshuang couldn't help but laugh secretly at this moment.

She really likes Xiaoxi's personality. She looks gentle, but is actually very principled.

Gu Xiaoxi expanded the scope and searched carefully again. After an hour, she did not find ginseng, but found several matsutake mushrooms instead.

Fu Jiani couldn't find ginseng, so when she saw Gu Xiaoxi digging up matsutake mushrooms, she followed suit and went looking for one.

However, after searching for half an hour, she still found nothing.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and simply followed Gu Xiaoxi. Wherever Gu Xiaoxi went, she went, and always stayed within two meters of him.

Gu Xiaoxi watched and suddenly felt annoyed.

Even Lu Jiansen wasn't that close to her!

After enduring for a few minutes, she stopped looking and ran directly to Lu Jiansen.

"I found some matsutake mushrooms. If we catch another pheasant, we can use them to make chicken soup tonight."

Lu Jiansen smiled and nodded slightly. "There are pheasants in the camp. Nanyu and I caught two pheasants and five rabbits in the traps we set last night."

Gu Xiaoxi's eyes lit up. "That's great. But it seems like you always catch more rabbits."

"A hare hugs its nest. If it finds one, it will be easy to find a nest."

Lu Jiansen mainly thought that the little girl liked rabbit fur, so he should grab more.

While the two were talking, Fu Jiani, who had gained nothing, ran back to Zhong Jue, looking a little aggrieved.

Zhong Jue was also feeling a little depressed. He had always been confident in his hunting skills, but from last night until now he had gained nothing.

When he thought about the chicken stewed with matsutake mushrooms that Lu Jiansen and his friends would have in the evening, he stopped looking for ginseng and went straight to hunt wild game far away.

Anyway, finding herbs is not his forte!

As soon as he left, Fu Jiani, who was unaware of the situation, followed him.

After the two of them left, Gu Xiaoxi stopped clinging to Lu Jiansen and started searching carefully again.

It was almost five o'clock when she found another ginseng that was about twenty years old.

She didn't dig it herself, but called Qi Shuangshuang over.

"Shuangshuang, there is a ginseng plant here. You and Si Nanyu can dig it up. I'll look for it."

"Coming." Qi Shuangshuang ran over immediately.

Si Nanyu actually felt that he couldn't help much, but seeing Qi Shuangshuang jumping around so happily, he still accompanied her to dig ginseng.

He was not stupid and knew that Gu Xiaoxi was intentionally giving him the opportunity to be alone with Qi Shuangshuang.

Not far away, Zhang Bingyi sighed silently in his heart.

In fact, he had been to the place where Gu Xiaoxi had just discovered the ginseng.

But he didn't find it!

It seems that he really does not have the talent or luck to find ginseng.

By the time Qi Shuangshuang and Si Nanyu dug out the ginseng, it was already dark.

Gu Xiaoxi didn't have much to gain from the trip, except for picking up a few matsutake mushrooms and two small Ganoderma lucidum.

"How about we go back?" Gu Xiaoxi wanted to have a proper meal because she was hungry.

Lu Jiansen nodded, "Okay, let's go back."

Zhang Bingyi said with some embarrassment: "Zhong Jue and the others haven't come back yet."

We came together, and we must go back together!

"Call them, I'm tired!" Gu Xiaoxi felt that his energy for the day was almost exhausted.

"Let's go down the mountain and look for people at the same time!" Lu Jiansen didn't plan to wait for anyone here.

He took the girl's hand and whispered, "Can't you walk? I'll carry you."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, then shook her head, "Let me walk slowly by myself! You must be so tired carrying me!"

"Not tired!" Lu Jiansen squatted down and took the things in her hand.

Gu Xiaoxi really felt his legs going weak, and when he saw that Lu Jiansen really wanted to carry him, after hesitating for a moment, he obediently lay on his back and hugged his neck.

Si Nanyu walked over attentively and took the things from Lu Jiansen's hand so that he could carry the person more easily.

Seeing that they were really leaving, Zhang Bingyi had no choice but to walk back while calling for help.

After shouting for more than twenty minutes, they finally heard Zhong Jue's response.

Ten minutes later, Zhong Jue came over with a sable in his hand, looking very happy.

Fu Jiani also looked happy and started showing off to Zhang Bingyi as soon as she came over.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhong Jue is amazing. He solved this sable in one go. The skin is really good. It will definitely make beautiful clothes..."

Zhang Bingyi nodded, "It's very good."

Fu Jiani originally wanted to show off to Gu Xiaoxi, but Gu Xiaoxi was carried on Lu Jiansen's back with his eyes closed, and no one knew whether he was asleep or not.

She felt inexplicably depressed because she failed to show off.
