Chapter 47: Digging Up Treasures



"Okay kids, Zhang Sanzhu won't act up anymore, it's time for us to take a nap."

Su Ningjie said, "Mother, the Zhang family has signed a letter of commitment. Does that mean everyone in the Zhang family must obey you?"

"Yes, from now on, you four brothers and sisters just need to follow your mother and study hard and learn to read and write."

A quarter of an hour later, after the five members of the Su family lay down, Xiao Lingyu used the leftover fabrics to sew a simple, ancient-style goose yellow linen shoulder bag.

Noon hour.

Seeing that Xiao Xier and Su Xingyi were sleeping soundly, Xiao Lingyu slipped into the space, tied the anesthetic gun to his leg, then slipped out of the space, threw the dagger into his shoulder bag and went to Su Ning'an's room in the east room.

"Mother."

"Shhh."

Xiao Lingyu quickly gestured to keep quiet and whispered, "Boss, mother is going to Wufeng Mountain now."

"Mom, wait a minute, I need to change my clothes."

Seeing him reaching for some half-worn clothes, Xiao Lingyu said, "Big brother, you don't need to change. Just wear this green dress. Mother will make many beautiful clothes of different colors for you to wear. Don't worry about getting them dirty or worn out."

"Oh, then let's go now."

Su Ning'an followed Xiao Lingyu and tiptoed out of the east room. Only when they reached the gate did the mother and son dare to breathe deeply.

Xiao Lingyu grabbed Su Ning'an's chubby little hand and said, "Boss, let's go quickly. The sooner we go, the sooner we can come back."

"Mother, what are you going to do at Wufeng Mountain? Are you going to dig up Panax notoginseng?"

Xiao Lingyu said, "Tomorrow your uncle Lin will bring people from the government office to measure Wufeng Mountain. Mother plans to buy a hilltop to grow medicinal herbs. She will sell the herbs for silver in the future and plant fruit trees. Then you will be able to eat delicious fruits."

"Can Guoguo also be taken to the county to exchange for money?"

"right."

There are many fruits in the base, which are not available in this era.

Now that she has come to this world, she can take it out without people suspecting anything. The only way she can take it out in a deep forest like Wufeng Mountain under the name of covering the mountain is to avoid suspicion.

A man in a gray and white robe with a blue collar, gray hair at the temples and a peach wood hairpin on his head came out of the Zhang family yard carrying a medicine box. He looked thoughtfully at Xiao Lingyu and Su Ning'an, mother and son, in the distance, then turned and went to the village chief's house.

"Village Doctor Wang, how is Zhang Sanzhu doing?"

Wang Jiyou said truthfully, "He's already been given a golden wound medicine. He just needs to be taken care of. The Zhang family was really cruel. Zhang Sanzhu will have to stay in bed for at least a month."

Wu Qingshan sneered, "He's stupid, no one else can be blamed. Oh, by the way, Su Xingyi, how long has it been since you last visited him?"

"Half a year ago, he knew he couldn't stand up again, so he stopped me from giving him acupuncture."

Wu Qingshan frowned slightly, "Xingyi really can't stand up?"

"Xingyi fell from halfway up the mountain and injured his waist. It's impossible for him to stand up. His eye disease could have been cured, but since then he has been completely blind and it's difficult for him to see again. However..."

"But what?"

Wang Jiyou said, "Madam Su is from the capital, and she's a daughter of an official. If we can bring Su Xingyi to the capital to have him examined by the imperial physician, there might be hope."

Wu Qingshan thought that Xiao Lingyu could return to the capital, but unless his family was rehabilitated, he might not be able to return to the capital in this lifetime.

"I understand. You can go back."

After Wang Jiyou left, Wu Huaiyuan came to the main room.

"Huaiyuan, how did you come up with this method to save Zhang Sanzhu's life?"

Wu Huaiyuan said respectfully, "Grandfather, I also saw this in the county. Madam Su is a daughter of an official. Like daughters of wealthy families, she has maids and servants to serve her. These people have signed indentures and can be sold at will by their masters. This is the case with the maids and servants of my second uncle's family."

"Now that Madam Su has arrived in the village, she has no one to serve her. Naturally, she can't adapt to village life for a while. If the Zhang family offered to sell themselves, Madam Su would definitely agree. But my grandson never expected that Madam Su would actually make the Zhang family sign a letter of commitment and get the whole family's free labor."

Wu Qingshan said, "She's a daughter of an official family, very clever. Now that she's come to the village and there's no income, she's in need of free labor. Zhang Sanzhu was originally alone, but because of his stupidity, he lost his entire family. By the way, if you don't pass the imperial examination next year, go back to the village and start a school."

His eldest grandson was the top scholar in his time, but unfortunately he only managed to get to the level of scholar...

Xiao Lingyu and Su Ning'an came to the bushes where they had picked up the female wild goat.

Three hundred meters to the right front is the foot of Wufeng Mountain. In the left front of the bushes, there is a bamboo forest that stretches as far as the eye can see. The deeper you go, the bamboo forest extends to Wufeng Mountain.

"Boss, has no one come to cut the bamboo forest here?"

Su Ningan said, "This place is close to Wufeng Mountain, and the villagers don't come here to cut bamboo."

Xiao Lingyu was delighted because her family had a subsidiary company that produced toilet paper using bamboo, so she could reserve this bamboo forest in advance.

In Beiyi, except for the royal family and the original owner, no other aristocratic families dared to use toilet paper, not to mention ordinary people. The main reason was that Beiyi used wood pulp paper, which was expensive and had a long growth cycle for the raw materials.

Bamboo pulp paper is different. The bamboo grows fast and has low cost. There is no bamboo paper in Beiyi now, so it is a good opportunity to build a bamboo paper factory here.

She can also open up an orchard of dozens of acres in the bamboo forest. In the future, she can sell both paper and fruit. This is a long-term career that she can continue to do. With a stable source of income, she can then start her plan of selling medicinal materials.

"Boss, let's go into the mountains."

Xiao Lingyu pulled Su Ning'an and climbed for a quarter of an hour from the foot of Wufeng Mountain. When they reached a small hill, their view instantly widened.
