"Okay, my girl, go ahead and dig. I'll watch over you and won't let anyone disturb you."
Yu Qingqing didn't say anything else, but took out the tools and started digging.
She had read in a book how to dig ginseng, and that every root had to be handled with great care.
Yu Qingqing first cleared the grass around the ginseng, and only started digging when she saw the roots.
Fortunately, the soil here is relatively soft and not difficult to dig.
Yu Qingqing held the ginseng plant with one hand and gently dug it up little by little while holding it five centimeters away with the other hand.
Probably because the soil was so soft, Yu Qing didn't have to spend too much effort to dig out a ginseng plant intact.
This ginseng looks to be no more than a hundred years old.
"Daddy, please keep it safe and don't break it."
Yu Qingqing quickly wrapped it with leaves and handed a ginseng directly to Yu Qingshu.
"Okay! Don't worry, girl, I will keep this safe." Yu Qingshu's servile look made him look unmanly in the eyes of other hunters.
"Brother Yu, what are you doing?" a hunter asked out of curiosity.
"Uh, nothing, my daughter said this is useful to her, so I dug some, I don't understand." Yu Qingshu could only answer vaguely, just kidding, my daughter said it was a good thing, I definitely can't tell others.
"Daddy, I'll keep it for you." A little while later, he dug out three more ginseng roots. These three roots looked about one or two hundred years old.
Yu Qingqing secretly put two ginseng roots into the space. Since Yu Qingshu didn't notice it, she said that there were only three roots.
"I'm rich! I'm rich! There's still one last one, and it looks bigger than the others." Yu Qingqing couldn't help but start muttering and started digging again.
"Girl, what on earth is this? How can you make money from it?" Yu Qingshu looked at his daughter's money-obsessed look and still wanted to know what it was.
"Dad, I told you this is ginseng," Yu Qing said happily.
"People... Ginseng!" Yu Qingshu began to stutter. So many ginsengs, what kind of luck is this?
"Dad, calm down! Calm down." Soon the last ginseng root was dug out.
"Wow, this is so thick, it must be three or four hundred years old. Dad, I've dug it out, I'll keep it, don't tell anyone."
"Don't worry, my daughter. I'm a tight-lipped person. It's been a long time, so we should probably go back."
They also killed a lot of pheasants and rabbits, as well as three silly roe deer, but they couldn’t catch any wild boars. It was too late in the deep mountains and something might happen.”
After Yu Qingshu finished speaking, he walked to the place where the hunters rested, muttered a few words, and saw that others were also collecting their prey one after another.
With so much prey and so much blood, something was bound to happen if we kept doing this for a while. Anyway, it had been so long, so I should go back. At least I didn't return empty-handed.
"Okay, Brother Yu, let's go back." A younger hunter also echoed.
My little wife is still waiting for me at home, young man. I thought happily.
After they finished packing, they started walking back. Yu Qingshu's backpack was full, so Yu Qingqing was the only one who carefully protected the ginseng in her arms and carried the mint she had picked earlier as she started walking back.
Deep in the mountains, on top of a cliff, three ropes are hanging vertically from top to bottom along the cliff.
There was a person on each rope, slowly going down. There was a protrusion in the middle of the cliff.
When the people on the rope were about to reach the ledge, one of them took the lead and darted down, landing safely on top. Soon, joyful sounds could be heard from below.
"Boss, we have two ginseng plants here." The person who spoke was Chen Ba, a skilled doctor who was also Yuan Xichen's secret guard. His name was Yuan Yi, and he was twenty years old.
He carefully took out his tools and, with professional technique, quickly dug out the ginseng. Both ginseng plants were intact, the smaller one only a few decades old, the larger one looking almost four hundred years old.
It seems that the master's injury is old. If I buy a 300-year-old ginseng and use it together, the injury will be almost healed.
Yuan Yi put the ginseng away and shouted, and the people above started to pull people up. The other men in black also started to move up.
After a few people gathered together, they hunted some prey and headed back.
Yu Qingqing and his group soon reached the foot of the mountain. After a short rest, they continued on their journey.
"Mom, are you home? I'm back." There was a knock on the door.
Hua Qinglu came out slowly. The voice sounded very familiar. It felt like the voice of his eldest son.
"Hai'er, are you back?" Hua Qinglu walked to the door and quickly opened it. Standing at the door was a dark-skinned young man carrying a package.
"Mom, I'm back, it's me." Yu Qinghai looked at his mother, tears almost coming out.
He hadn't seen his mother for a long time. After all, he was still a child. It was natural for him to express his true feelings when he saw his mother.
"Hey, dear son, come in quickly. It's good that you're back. I was planning to have your father come look for you in a few days. It's good that you're back.
The villagers have been discussing fleeing the famine lately. Life here is getting increasingly difficult. We can only drink the well water now, and we don't even dare to bathe."
Hua Qinglu saw his son and spoke in a rush.
"Brother, I miss you so much"!
