"Little sister, this mutton soup is amazing! It makes me feel so comfortable all over!"
Zhuang Zhimeng was very happy to hear Zhuang Zhiwu say that. Wasn't what she did all to help him recover faster?
"Second brother, if you like it, I'll make it for you again when I have time!"
"Okay, thank you, little sister."
After finishing their meal, the group took a walk in the yard to digest.
"Second brother, how long will you be staying this time?"
"It should take about one or two months. Your sister-in-law said that once you recover, you can start strength training."
"Okay, I understand!"
After circling around a few times, Zhuang Zhimeng told Zhuang Zhiwu and the others to go back to their rooms to rest, as they needed to make sure they got enough rest while recovering from their injuries.
Su Mengmeng and Jiang Yanxia also returned to their own residence.
"Zhizhi, I want to go to the secret base and get some meat, otherwise I won't be able to explain it when they ask."
An Qingbai felt that he should go and get the meat; if too much time passed, his second brother would definitely find out something.
"good!"
Zhuang Zhimeng sensed that An Qingbai knew she had a secret, but she wouldn't tell him unless he asked.
An Qingbai arrived at the foot of the mountain leading to the secret base and saw the mark Hei Zi had left for him.
This was something they had agreed upon beforehand: if Kuroko had prey he desperately needed, he would leave a signal for him.
An Qingbai headed towards where Hei Zi was. It was agreed that they would leave a mark there and wait for him.
Upon seeing Kuroko: "What do you need?"
"Didn't you sell me three ginseng roots that were 1990 years old before?"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the ginseng?"
"No, I wanted to ask if you have any 100-year-old ginseng. Although it's only ten years short, its efficacy is still a bit lacking. The other party urgently needs 100-year-old ginseng."
Who is it?
“He is a filial son. The other party is willing to give a thousand yuan, which is for his father at home.”
An Qingbai pondered for a moment, "I know someone who does have a century-old one. Come back in a day. I need to ask someone before I can give you an answer."
After hearing what An Qingbai said, Hei Zi basically understood the situation.
"Okay, I'll come again tomorrow!"
After seeing Hei Zi leave, An Qingbai turned around and quickly went up the mountain to get some meat.
When he went back to find Zhuang Zhimeng, he brought her several roe deer, musk deer, and wild rabbits.
They helped Zhuang Zhimeng put them all in the cellar.
An Qingbai held Zhuang Zhimeng's hand: "Zhizhi, just now, Hei Zi, oh! the one who's been trading with me on the black market, wanted to find a century-old ginseng. The other party offered a thousand. Do you want to sell it?"
"Brother Qingbai, what do you say?"
"I heard from Hei Zi that it's for his old man at home, so why don't we sell it to him?"
"Alright, I'll listen to you. Since it's for the old man, it's a good deed!"
"My Zhizhi is truly beautiful inside and out!"
"That's a must!"
Back in the room, Zhuang Zhimeng took the ginseng out of the cabinet on the kang (heated brick bed) and handed it to An Qingbai. Actually, it was in the warehouse, so it was just for show.
Here, take it!
Seeing that she was wrapping the ginseng in newspaper, An Qingbai suggested, "I'll go back and ask my mother if she has any silk to wrap the ginseng in."
"No need, I have some here!" Zhuang Zhimeng said, taking out a piece of dark silk fabric.
An Qingbai took the cloth and wrapped the ginseng again.
This fabric is what Zhuang Zhimeng just drew today. She opened the warehouse and found a lot of fabrics of various kinds.
It was getting late, so An Qingbai took the ginseng and left Zhuang Zhimeng's room.
When An Qingbai was trading the ginseng with Hei Zi, he brought another person with him.
An Qingbai recognized the person as someone who looked very much like him that day.
When Hei Zi saw An Qingbai, he explained to him, "He is the buyer. He heard about the century-old ginseng and insisted that I bring him here!"
An Qingbai nodded without saying anything and handed the ginseng to the man.
An Chengzong took the ginseng and, seeing that it was indeed a hundred years old, was finally relieved; he had finally found it.
Without saying a word, he handed over 1,000 yuan to An Qingbai.
Then I wanted to go back and get it for the old man as soon as possible. Before leaving, I glanced at An Qingbai several times, but the old man was the priority right now, and I would deal with other things later.
After returning home, An Qingbai handed over all the money to Zhuang Zhimeng. This had become a habit for him; he always handed over his money directly.
An Qingbai recalled that the person had glanced at him several times earlier, and the more he thought about it, the more familiar the person seemed. "Zhizhi, do you think there are people who look remarkably alike?"
"Twins usually look alike, right? Do you look like someone else besides your second brother?"
"The person I traded with today is a lot like me, even more so than my second brother!"
"Could he be some kind of relative? Didn't you say that besides your uncle and eldest uncle, there was no one else in your family?"
"Yes, my aunt and third uncle are gone. My second uncle was lost when he was a child and has never been found. No one in the family dares to mention it, for fear of upsetting my father!"
