Chapter 287: The Naughty Child



After paying respect to the white tiger, the father and son approached cautiously, and Nuannuan took Otis away attentively.

When the father and son of the Li family saw the wild ginseng, they focused all their attention on it. Then everyone saw him open the bag he was carrying and take out tools one by one.

There is also a complicated red string, which is much more professional than Nuannuan's red cloth strip.

After they made all the preparations almost devoutly, they began the long process of digging ginseng.

Everyone was very interested at the beginning, but as time went by, few people had the patience.

Mr. Li was lying on the ground, holding a small ginseng digging tool in his hand, and he was clearing the mud along the ginseng roots little by little, but he had to make sure not to break any of the roots.

This is really a very technical and delicate job. Mr. Li was sweating profusely because he had to concentrate highly and maintain the same posture for a long time.

His son skillfully wiped his sweat with a towel, and from time to time helped pass tools or dig some places that were easier to dig.

"Nuannuan, let's go find some edible wild fruits."

It was so boring that Gu An rolled his eyes and immediately pulled his sister to run away.

"I want to go, too."

How can you find food without white ink painting?

Nuan Nuan nodded——"Okay."

The others looked at each other and thought that it was a bit of a waste of time to just sit and watch the time-consuming work of digging ginseng. After all, there was no place to sit here, so they discussed and decided to walk around the mountain.

They were not worried about any danger. This was Otis's territory. Not only did the wild animals in the forest not dare to come, even snakes had to avoid them.

However, it is not very realistic to find wild fruits to eat at this time. Even if you find them, they are just small green fruits that are totally unpalatable.

But children are full of energy and curious about everything.

Not to mention Nuannuan, even if it was something she had seen before, the next time she saw it her big eyes would still be filled with pure curiosity, as if she would never lose interest in anything in this world.

Gu An is a rich young man who grew up in the city. He rarely has the opportunity to play in the mountains. Now he is very interested in everything in the forest.

Poke fat caterpillars with tree branches, shake earthworms pried out of the ground, touch thorny plants with clumsy hands, and then get your fingers pricked and bleed.

Even so, he still refused to repent, did not think it was his fault, and even took revenge himself.

"Well, let's see if you dare to stab me again in the future!"

Gu An clapped his hands and burst into laughter.

Nuannuan and Bai Mohua walked over and saw that all the thorns on the plant had been pulled out and inserted upside down on the trunk of the plant.

Plant: I'm not a human, but you are a real dog!

Nuan Nuan & Bai Mo Hua——"..."Gu An was quite proud——"Nuan Nuan, if you get stabbed, tell me and I will help you get revenge."

Nuan Nuan——"Okay."

Gu An was having so much fun that he climbed up a tree to dig out a bird's nest and tore his trousers. His clothes were also wrinkled.

Nuan Nuan stood under the tree and was extremely worried - "Brother, please be careful."

Gu An finally climbed to the bird's nest and saw five eggs inside!

"Sister, there are five eggs. I can take two and leave three for them."

Nuan Nuan said, "Then hurry up and come down. Bird Mom and Bird Dad will be angry when they come back."

"knew."

Gu An picked out the two smallest eggs and laid them on a tree, then went to look for bird nests on other trees.

Nuannuan doesn't let her brother go to high places because she is afraid that he might fall.

Even so, he was so excited holding the three little bird eggs in his hand that he didn't care even if his hands were scratched.

Nuan Nuan blew on him - "Brother, there is water over there, go and wash your hands."

Bai Mohua stared at the bird egg - "How can I eat this? It's so small."

Nuannuan poked the egg with her finger, recalling how those kids did it in Xiaoxi Village.

"You can roast it and eat it directly, or you can fry it, but the eggs are too small. Two of them are not as big as one egg."

"Wow, there are fish here!"

Gu An, who was washing his hands, suddenly shouted excitedly. When Nuannuan and Bai Mohua looked over, the guy had already kicked off his shoes and jumped into the water.

Nuan Nuan——“!!”

"Brother, the water is too cold! You'll catch a cold!!"

Gu An didn't care - "It's okay, I'm in good health!"

In the end, he didn't catch any fish, and his pants and clothes were all wet.

When Gu Nan and the others came, Nuan Nuan and Bai Mo Hua were both holding branches and poking around on the bank of the stream.

Nuan Nuan——"Brother, I caught a fish!"

The little girl bent down, and when she stood up she was holding a small fish the size of her palm in her hand, with a very sweet smile on her face.

Bai Mohua was a little disappointed - "I didn't catch any."

Gu An, who was also standing in the water with empty hands—"..." He just didn't believe it.

"What are you doing?"

When Gu Nan's cold voice came, the children who were playing around with fish were frightened and shivered, and the fish in Nuan Nuan's hands fell out.

"Brother...big brother."

Nuan Nuan's voice sounded a little guilty, like a kid who had done something bad and was caught by his parents.

In her impression, adults in the village do not allow children to get close to water, saying it is dangerous.

When her grandmother was around, she was not allowed to go near the reservoir or river in the village. She was well-behaved and never went there when the other children in the village went to play.

But now it was different. Under the guidance of her own brother, Nuannuan couldn't resist the temptation and came closer. Although she didn't go into the water, her shoes got wet.

Gu An in the water didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all - "Brother, come and look, there are fish in the water!"

"Get up here."

Gu Nan shouted coldly with a dark face, and then Gu An realized that his elder brother seemed angry.

He immediately walked out of the water in a trembling manner.

Bai Moshu also felt a little embarrassed. It had only been a short time and Gu An had become like this. Moreover, the water was still very cold in March. He would catch a cold if he was not careful.

He walked over and picked Nuannuan up, and saw that her shoes were wet and her face turned even darker.

"elder brother."

Nuannuan poked her fingers and looked at her brothers pitifully.

Gu Mingyu tapped her on the forehead lightly - "You, isn't the water cold? What if you get sick?"

Children have the weakest resistance and their feet, stomach and head are most susceptible to cold.

Bai Moshu handed the person to Gu Bei and took off her wet shoes and socks.

Bai Mohua walked over with his neck hunched, feeling that something was wrong.

Gu Mingli looked at him with a squinting eye and said in a sinister tone: "Hey, don't you see that you are already so old and you are still playing in the water like a child?"

Bai Mo Hua——"…" I am so old, am I eating your rice?

"Ink painting."

Bai Moshu called him, Bai Mohua shrank his neck, put on the same pitiful expression as Nuannuan, and walked over.

"Brother, I was wrong."

The speed of admitting mistakes is quite fast.

Among the three people playing in the water, only Gu An stiffened his neck and confronted his brother. He was successfully beaten before he calmed down.

Without a change of shoes, Nuannuan was held in the arms of her brother, with her two chubby, white feet exposed. She kept scratching each other with her toes, which looked very cute.

Gu Mingyu grabbed her feet and said with a smile - "Are you cold? Third brother will warm you up."

In fact, it is the chubby little feet of the eye, which feel really good to pinch.

Nuan Nuan——"Thank you, Third Brother."

Gu Mingli leaned over and said, "Brother, hold it for me for a while."

Gu Mingyu——"Get lost."

When Otis came back from hunting, his chubby feet were already warmed up by his brothers, so he wasn't cold at all.

After Otis came back, Nuan Nuan stepped on it and it felt even warmer.

Time is always strange. When you are bored and in pain, you always feel that the days are long and you wish it could pass quickly.

But when people feel happy, it always flows through their fingers quietly, as if a day has passed in the blink of an eye.

Today's time belongs to the latter.

Nuannuan felt that it was already afternoon and the sun was setting.

It took Mr. Li and his son most of the day to take the entire ginseng out of the soil intact.

He held the ginseng in both hands, his face flushed with excitement.

"This... this wild ginseng is at least five hundred years old!"

Five hundred years is the age of the ancestors of everyone present.

Nowadays, let alone five hundred years, even being able to produce a hundred-year-old ginseng is incredible.
