Chapter 22 Three Encounters (2)



Uncle Wang knew that Lin Yin cared about these herbs, so she would definitely catch up.

Sure enough, when Lin Yin saw her basket being taken away, she shouted.

"Give me back my things!"

But Uncle Wang had already walked a long way away.

Helpless, Lin Yin could only pull her hair in frustration and jog to catch up.

If she had known it would be so troublesome, she would have kept her mouth shut.

Huo Yicheng was indeed not far away. Lin Yin followed Uncle Wang and saw from a distance a man squatting under a tree in front of them, fiddling with the soil with a shovel in his hand.

It seems that he is looking for ginseng.

Lin Yin became more certain of her thoughts.

Although he was clearly working, every movement of Huo Yichen carried an indescribable sense of nobility.

Uncle Wang shouted excitedly, "Master! Look who I brought here!"

Huo Yicheng turned his head when he heard the voice, and when he saw the little girl behind Uncle Wang, he frowned.

It is undeniable that his eyes flashed at the same moment.

He stood up, brushed the mud off his hands, and walked over with his long legs.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Yin laughed awkwardly: "...Hehe." If possible, I wouldn't want to come either.

The most excited among the three was Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang looked at Huo Yichen and quickly repeated what Lin Yin had just said.

Finally, he said, "Master! Miss Lin knows the ropes. We can definitely find some ginseng to bring back!"

"Yeah." Huo Yichen just responded indifferently.

When he saw this girl for the first time, Huo Yichen knew that she was not an ordinary little thing.

Hearing Uncle Wang praising her, Lin Yin hurriedly explained.

"I only have a superficial understanding. I'm not a god, so how can I guess where ginseng is? If it were really easy to find, you wouldn't have to go up the mountain again and again."

Lin Yin remembered that ginseng was a rare and precious medicinal herb that was hard to come by in her previous life. If one had a good ginseng, it would make a fortune.

The worst ones cost more than 200 yuan per pound, the ordinary ones cost about 1,000 yuan, the better ones cost more than 4,000 yuan, and the even better ones cost over a million yuan.

She remembered that someone discovered thousand-year-old ginseng and sold it for tens of millions.

Uncle Wang wasn't disappointed when he heard Lin Yin's words. He just nodded repeatedly, "We don't know anything and can only stumble around in the mountains. Miss Lin is knowledgeable. If she can help us, we can avoid taking some detours."

“…”

Lin Yin just curled her lips awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

In the end, I chose to remain silent, neither agreeing nor refusing.

After all, it was only a few days ago that I cheated him out of two hundred dollars. It would be embarrassing to refuse too harshly.

Uncle Wang was so happy that he found the direction of hope.

"Master, we've been searching all morning. Miss Lin must be hungry. Why don't you go catch a pheasant? How about we have it for lunch?"

Without waiting for Lin Yin and Huo Yichen to speak, Uncle Wang left happily.

"Hey..." Lin Yin was about to call Uncle Wang to stop his work when the man next to her spoke.

"Let him go."

Lin Yin turned her head to look at him. Huo Yicheng took two steps forward, picked up Lin Yin's basket that Uncle Wang had placed on the ground, and returned it to her.

"Your stuff."

Lin Yin took it: "Thank you."

Huo Yichen is not a talkative person, and Lin Yin is not that talkative either. After all, she has only met the man in front of her three times.

However, what Lin Yin couldn’t understand was why they wanted ginseng so urgently?

Rich people like them can just stay at home and follow the news about ginseng. If they hear someone has dug it up, they can just buy it at a high price. There is no need to go up the mountain to look for it themselves.
