"What's wrong?" Xiang Wentian held Leng You's hand a little tighter.
"Let's go over there and take a look." Leng Youqiang suppressed her pounding heart. She didn't know where that force would pull her to, nor did she know what was waiting for her ahead.
Xiang Wentian was very indulgent towards Leng You and allowed her to walk deeper into the forest holding his hand, but he pulled her close to his side in a protective posture.
The burning sensation became more and more obvious, and an invisible force brought her to a dense grove of trees.
"Ginseng!" Leng You's heart, which had been worn down by his previous life like a pool of stagnant water, was almost speechless due to the rapid rush of blood.
The aboveground stem is solitary, 30 to 60 cm high, with longitudinal stripes, glabrous, and with persistent scales at the base. The leaves are palmately compound, with three to six leaves arranged in whorls at the top of the stem...
Umbel is single and terminal, about 1.5 cm in diameter, with 30 to 50 flowers, rarely 5 to 6, the peduncle is usually longer than the leaves, 15 to 30 cm long, with longitudinal stripes, and the pedicel is filiform...
The descriptions of ginseng that I had read in medical books before came into my mind word by word, exactly the same as the real thing.
"Is it really ginseng?" The Xiang family is different from ordinary families. Even though they are down and out now, the heritage and knowledge accumulated over generations are incomparable to ordinary people. When Xiang Wentian saw the bright red flower ball representing maturity, he confirmed it immediately.
But he looked at Leng You in surprise.
Ever since I first met this child yesterday, miracles have been happening one after another, and it is difficult to explain them with just the word coincidence.
"There are several of them." Leng You's heart was about to jump out.
A dozen red flower balls under a shady bush are so shocking and conspicuous.
"We are short of tools." Xiang Wentian looked at the only small shovel in his hand.
This top-grade wild ginseng, which has been known as the "king of herbs" since ancient times, is so complicated and difficult to collect that Xiang Wentian, or even anyone with little medical knowledge, has heard countless times from various legends and stories about it.
"Let's mark it first, go back and make some preparations, and come back to dig tomorrow." Leng You quickly calmed down.
"Okay!" This was exactly what Xiang Wentian wanted. He took out his dagger and made a mark on the thickest tree.
Neither of them had the heart to continue exploring, and on their way back through the forest, they picked a large bag of various edible fungi.
Considering the transportation problem, Xiang Wentian temporarily let go of most of the rabbits running and jumping around them, and only killed four more. Together with the two that he had put into the stream before, he strung them together with a rope and carried them on his shoulders.
Finally, we came to the area where sweet potatoes grew and dug a full bag.
"It seems like there are too many things." Looking at the pile of things under his feet, then looking at Xiang Wentian's not-so-strong body, and recalling the origin of his previous fart, Leng You felt a little worried.
"No problem." Xiang Wentian looked into the distance, walked over and cut a branch as thick as his wrist, trimmed the branches, hung two bags and six rabbits at both ends, and then picked it up.
He lowered his head and gestured to Leng You.
"Oh!" Leng You understood and hurried forward to grab Xiang Wentian's fingers.
The two walked towards the valley wall where they had gone up and down the valley.
"I'll take you up first." Xiang Wentian thought about it. Compared to the valley bottom which he had not fully understood, he felt that it would be safer for Yu Lengyou in the windy and snowy valley.
"I can do it myself." Leng You now has the confidence and the courage to do so.
"Come up!" Xiang Wentian had already squatted down.
Leng You: “…”
Not daring to resist, he obediently lay on the strong back in front of him.
Xiang Wentian still wrapped Ange with the scarf, tied it tightly around his waist, and then grabbed the branches on the valley wall and climbed up lightly and nimbly.
Originally he could have taken the six rabbits with him, but he didn't want Leng You's safety to be at risk even if there was a one in a million chance of failure.
"Wait for me, don't run around." He gently put Leng You in a place slightly sheltered from the wind, and wrapped him tightly with a scarf. After giving him a warning, Xiang Wentian turned around and disappeared quickly into the valley like a smart ape.
The wind and snow were so strong that they hurt people's faces.
I remember that in my previous life, the heavy snow lasted for a week, causing the collapse of several houses in Bei'an County, including Daheishan Mountain and many villages, and even causing casualties.
Not to mention the series of losses caused by the collapse of the livestock shed, including cattle and sheep, which were killed and injured.
This snow was even recorded in the history books as one of the few heavy snowfalls in history.
Leng You shook off the thick layer of snow that had soon covered him. When he raised his eyes, the Daheishan Village vaguely came into view again.
When her eyes inadvertently swept to the place that belonged to her "home", a chill colder than the snowstorm instantly filled her eyes.
He didn't realize that his hands, covered in cotton gloves, had been clenched to the point of losing blood.
The heavy snow did not cause any loss to the Leng family, because Leng Tiezhu (Leng You's grandfather) had served as the village chief for many years, and the Leng family became the best-off in the village.
The houses they built were naturally more solid than those of other families, and even the animal sheds were better than those of some poor families.
"It's better this way. For some people, dying too easily is something even God cannot tolerate." Leng You narrowed his eyes slightly and shook off the almost frozen snow on his body.
Xiang Wentian's figure quickly jumped out from the edge of the valley. Leng You quickly gathered his emotions and ran over.
I couldn't suppress my surprise at the young boy's superhuman physical strength and skills. He actually carried such a large amount of things up all at once.
"Let's go!" While Leng You was still surprised, Xiang Wentian tidied everything up, hung all the things on both sides of the shoulder pole, then bent down and extended a hand to Leng You.
"Ah?" Leng You was confused by Xiang Wentian's actions.
What does it mean? Hug?
don't want.
"Come here!" Xiang Wentian's tone was full of command.
"I...ah!" Amid Leng You's soft cry, Xiang Wentian took a step forward and picked her up with one arm.
Leng You subconsciously hugged Xiang Wentian's neck.
"Hold me tight!" Xiang Wentian patted Leng You's little butt lightly, then picked up the burden.
Leng You: “…”
The little face suddenly felt hot.
Although the two of them were not of the same age, her soul was! She still tightened her arms obediently.
As the wind and snow gradually subsided, there was still no one to be seen in Daheishan Village. The villagers were in extreme fear of Leng You's "resurrection", unable to extricate themselves.
Many families even started lighting incense burners and burning paper money at home, praying to all the known and unknown Bodhisattvas, Kings of Hell, and immortals in the world to protect them from being harassed by evil spirits.
What's more, some even set up Leng You's tablet, burned incense and kowtowed, begging Leng You's ghost to forgive them for their indifference, ridicule, and mockery towards her in the past few years, as well as the bullying of her by their own children.
