After careful consideration, Ning Xiyue took out the map, opened it mysteriously, and pulled Ning Qingyuan to look at it.
"Brother, look what I have here. It's a treasure I found at a scrapyard. It must have been left behind by a hunter from the past. Let's follow the route above and try. If we find it, that would be great, but if we don't, it won't be a loss either."
Ning Xiyue raised her hands again and said passionately, "We must get some more things today and send some back home. That way they will know how carefree we two siblings are living in the countryside."
"Looks so detailed. Okay, I'll do as you say. We'll follow this route today. We won't go back until our backpacks are full."
Ning Qingyuan was excited and stimulated by the last words his sister said. Here, his sister only has him as her brother, and he is the only one who has the opportunity to run around with his sister. He has to send some of the things he collected from the mountains this time to his elder brother, and he also has to write a letter to chat with his elder brother.
The more he thought about it, the better he thought this was a good idea. Ning Qingyuan pointed to the place where ginseng was dug on the map.
"Let's go straight to this most valuable piece of land and start with the good stuff."
The two siblings ran towards their destination with high spirits and confidence, and of course there was also Little Gray running happily in the woods.
The place where ginseng grows is relatively hidden. Although Ning Xiyue and her brother have a map, they don’t know how long the map has existed. Some landforms in the mountains have quietly changed over the long river of time.
The two of them circled around the place indicated on the map but didn't find it.
Ning Qingyuan looked at the map in his hand and felt it was a little unreliable, but he didn't have the heart to discourage his sister: "Sister, let's go. This ginseng may have been discovered and dug up by others."
"Wait, let's look for it again."
Ning Xiyue was a little unwilling. The sign-in items given by Tongzi had never disappointed her. She recalled the introduction of the ginseng growth environment in the Chinese herbal medicine atlas.
"I remember it was written in the book that ginseng likes shade and moisture, prefers oblique light, dislikes strong sunlight, and also likes fertile land with a lot of humus. Brother, look for places with these characteristics."
"Okay, let's look for it again."
Ning Qingyuan recited the characteristics his sister mentioned while carefully looking for places with these characteristics.
What followed was a thorough search.
"Ah, I found it, sister, come back quickly, I found it, here, there are a lot." Ning Qingyuan shouted to Ning Xiyue in surprise, his voice cracked with joy.
Ning Xiyue, who had been looking down, looked up instantly: "Where are you? Let me see. Hey, where are you, brother?"
"Here." Ning Qingyuan poked his head out from a low bush and waved at her with a smile on his face, "Come here quickly."
Ning Xiyue hurried over, unable to hide the smile on her face. Her brother was really awesome.
"Be careful, that ginseng is very picky about where it grows. It grew in the middle of this jungle, and the thorns and short trees around it all hid it. So we searched for a long time but couldn't find it. It was only thanks to Xiao Hui that he got in that I was able to see it."
Ning Qingyuan protected Ning Xiyue's head and moved carefully into the bush.
"Look, sister, there are a bunch of them. These stems have little red seeds on them, and these seedless ones are not ginseng. They look a lot like the ones in the notebook."
Ning Xiyue gasped when she saw the small ginseng field: "Oh my god, brother, it's all ginseng. The ginseng in this small field must be worth a fortune. Brother, we are rich."
"Ding, the check-in location has been found, the wild ginseng gathering place. Checking in at this location requires the host to take a photo with Ning Qingyuan, Xiao Hui, and the wild ginseng field and check in. Host, do you want to sign in?"
I didn't expect that there is a check-in location in the mountains, and it is a check-in location with special requirements. Ning Xiyue is very much looking forward to the things at this check-in location. According to past experience, it must be a good thing.
Ning Xiyue took Xiao Hui, who was smelling the ginseng seeds, into her arms, and looked at her second brother who was looking at the ginseng excitedly but at a loss.
"Brother, please move sideways to my side. Let's expose the light so it's easier to dig. We can't damage such precious ginseng."
"Oh, yes, it would be so heartbreaking if we damaged it. We can't let a single beard fall. The ones that are intact are the most valuable."
Ning Qingyuan took small steps to Ning Xiyue's left side. Ning Xiyue pulled him and moved to the right. The two of them squatted side by side around the ginseng field.
"Tongzi, sign in."
"Successful sign-in, received a set of ginseng cultivation technology courseware. The host needs to collect 100 ginseng seeds to light up this small classroom."
It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. This courseware is exactly what Ning Xiyue wants. If she learns this, will she still have to worry about having no money in the future? Absolutely not.
As for the ginseng seeds, that’s not a simple matter.
Ning Xiyue looked at the ripe, flat, spherical red berries on the six ginseng stalks in front of her. Each berry had two seeds. There were at least twenty berries on this one ginseng plant, and the six plants here had at least two hundred and forty seeds.
She took away more than enough seeds for four plants.
Ning Xiyue took action immediately and took out a small cloth bag and picked three ginsengs as big as berries.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Ning Qingyuan looked at his sister's actions curiously.
"Brother, I want to get some seeds to plant and see if they can grow successfully. If they do, our family will be rich."
"I'll help you with it."
Although Ning Qingyuan didn't believe that his sister could succeed in farming, he was a good brother. He would support his sister in whatever she wanted to do as long as it was not a bad thing. Whether it would succeed or not was a matter for the future.
Ning Xiyue reminded him, "Brother, leave two fruits for it. This place is suitable for growing ginseng. We will come here to look for it next year."
"OK."
Ning Qingyuan only picks big fruits.
After picking all the ginseng berries, Ning Qingyuan looked at the ginseng field in a dilemma: "Sister, how are we going to dig it? I see a field of ginseng and I don't know where to start. I heard from grandpa that ginseng is usually tied with red ropes, and we don't have any red ropes."
"It's the same if we don't tie it up. It's not like it can grow legs and run away." Ning Xiyue didn't believe in this custom. It was obviously the way the older generation said it. "Here, brother, let's use a sickle to pry it out first. When we see the ginseng, we can use branches to dig it out bit by bit."
"Okay, that's it."
With Ning Xiyue's words, Ning Qingyuan found his backbone. The two of them and the wolf lay on the ground and slowly dug the mud.
The inexperienced Ning Qingyuan was both happy and panicked: "I saw the ginseng, Xiao Hui, stop and let me do it. Wow, the head of this ginseng is really long, it must have been growing for many years!"
Ning Xiyue took a look at the plant that Xiao Hui had dug up. Wow, there were so many reed heads on the top of the reed, it was obviously an old ginseng.
"It's at least eighty or ninety years old. Our map is so old, and there's still a small patch of ginseng growing here. It's obvious that no one has set foot here for some time. Brother, let's dig harder. There may be more than one old ginseng here."
Ning Qingyuan was full of anticipation: "That would be great, old ginseng is valuable. After today, my brother and I will become the richest people in the family."
Ning Xiyue smiled. She would not tell her second brother that she was the richest person in the family.
