If others saw her treating a precious ginseng like this, they would be heartbroken and slap their thighs in frustration.
But Shen Xingmian knew perfectly well that it was just a product of her own superpower, and she could have as many as she wanted in the future, so there was no need to feel sorry for it.
Moreover, excavators can dig that deep, which seems much more reliable than slowly shoveling with a small shovel.
Before digging it up, she specifically communicated with the ginseng, asking it to retract its roots so it wouldn't get hurt by the digging.
With one dig, all the ginseng roots went into the bucket, and with a casual shake, only the plump, white baby ginseng remained.
However, ginseng seems to need to be processed before it can be used as medicine. She doesn't know much about this, but she figured her second uncle would definitely be able to find a reliable pharmacy, so she wouldn't need to worry about it.
Shen Xingmian finally got a peaceful sleep without being disturbed by snoring, and it was incredibly sweet.
For some reason, even when her family was around and they were all highly skilled in combat, and she herself had enough ability to protect herself, she still couldn't feel at ease when she slept in the tent.
When I'm sleeping in my room, this feeling disappears.
I wonder if the fear of the wild is ingrained in human genes. Thinking about the long journey to the North, she still has to learn to overcome it.
When he woke up, breakfast was already prepared at home. After everyone was seated, Shen Zhiheng announced:
"Let's set off today. The sooner we arrive, the sooner we can lay a solid foundation. And now that I've seen the second son, a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and I have nothing more to worry about."
Shen Yunlan was reluctant to part ways. He had longed for and worried about his family for so long; how could they only be together for one day before being separated again?
"Second brother, don't be sad. Once we're in the Northern Territory, we won't be able to move around easily. When Jun'er gets better, your family can come and reunite. Or, I can arrange everything properly and bring Mian'er to visit you."
Shen Yunlan was unaware of why her father had specifically mentioned the little girl Mian'er, assuming it was just a casual remark.
The news of their impending separation made him somewhat depressed, and he felt very reluctant to part ways.
He wasn't a particularly family-oriented person, otherwise he wouldn't have traveled all over the country alone at such a young age. It was only after experiencing the great calamity of his family's confiscation that he realized how precious family reunion was.
He naturally missed his wife and children at home, but he was still very reluctant to part with his father, brothers and sisters.
"Second Uncle, don't be sad. Mian'er has a gift for you. I believe that in the near future, we will be able to reunite as a family, with Second Aunt and Cousin Jun'er."
As she spoke, she picked up the white porcelain bottle and the wooden box containing the ginseng that were on the ground.
“If you feed my cousin a bowl of the contents of this porcelain bottle every morning, his condition will improve in a few days. As for the ginseng in this box, my second uncle will need to find someone to process it himself.”
Shen Yunlan opened the box and was immediately shocked. Such a high-quality ginseng could be a life-saving item. How could it have been given to her by a little girl like Mian'er?
"this……"
Shen Zhiheng knew that his second son must have a lot of doubts, but he was afraid that his son would not believe him even if he explained it. After all, who would believe it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes?
“Just accept this gift. It’s a token of Mian’er’s affection. You can’t go wrong listening to her.” After saying this, Shen Zhiheng signaled to everyone that they could start eating.
After they finished eating, they had to pack up and set off. He was always worried about not getting to the Northern Border as soon as possible.
Shen Yunlan had many questions in her mind, but seeing that her father did not intend to explain, she suppressed them all.
He cherished the white porcelain bottle and the wooden box containing the ginseng as if they were his most precious treasures, planning to return home immediately after saying goodbye.
After this reunion dinner, we'll have to get back on our way.
Shen Xingmian understood her grandfather's anxiety and was also considering whether to take out a car directly. Of course, she had received such important supplies, and quite a lot of them, including a motorhome that someone else had modified.
The owner died, and she stumbled upon the metal-type supernatural ability, and also stumbled upon this RV.
Anyway, she's already brought out so many things, one more won't make a difference. We'll discuss it with Grandpa later and see if we need it.
When the group set off, no one cried or shed tears, and there was no farewell. They simply waved and left the courtyard that had given them a peaceful night's sleep and their families with whom they had been reunited after a difficult time.
Everyone quickly returned to their familiar daily routines and worked very diligently. Only Shen Xingmian, despite her diligence, didn't show it on the surface.
Instead, he looked rather lazy.
She always felt envious when she saw others having a great time, but there was nothing she could do; her special abilities were all silent.
It's not cool enough.
It's a pity she didn't find the light-based ability back then, otherwise, she would definitely have become a walking third wheel, the brightest star, by nightfall.
Grandpa declined the suggestion to drive, saying that the journey was not in vain and was not entirely a waste of time. The children had learned a lot and developed patience, making it a very valuable experience.
So Shen Xingmian didn't bring it up again.
After traveling for a month, the weather gradually turned cold, and it got colder the further north we went. It was so cold that we had to seal up the gaps in the carriage and light a charcoal stove for warmth.
They would stop in any town they encountered along the way to do some small business, selling their hunted game, buying food and supplies, and also inquiring about the situation in the capital.
The only consolation is that, after the last theft of the palace, the emperor has paid more attention to state affairs and punished several corrupt officials, so the government is relatively stable.
This is the result the Shen family wanted. Until a better monarch appears, this one is still barely acceptable.
If you act impulsively and kill someone, there could be serious trouble afterwards.
After all, they have to consider not only the power struggles within the country, but also the covetous eyes of several neighboring countries.
There is no famine at present. The heavy rain after the long drought successfully saved the harvest, and the country is relatively stable.
Along the way, I did not see any refugees fleeing their homes.
They encountered government officials a few times, but managed to get past them each time, which shows that the disguises Shen Xingmian provided were indeed reliable.
Plus, with the change of seasons, everyone's wearing winter coats, making them all look different and even harder to tell apart.
Later on, when they entered the city to exchange for supplies, they no longer felt much urgency. With their more relaxed attitude, no one would suspect them of being fugitives.
The carriages have been replaced with more spacious ones, with thicker walls and better insulation against the cold. Even the horses have been covered with fur to prevent them from getting sick from the cold.
Actually, it's only early winter, far from the coldest time in the North. It's just that the body isn't quite used to the cold environment yet, and some people are not tolerant of the cold.
Even if it gets colder in a while, the current heating and warmth equipment will be sufficient.
