I didn't take the usual route up the mountain, but instead took a detour through the grass where no one walked.
Looking at the dense weeds, He Wanqing walked to a tree, cut off a thin branch with a sickle, and removed all the tender green leaves on it. Then she slowly climbed the mountain while beating the weeds with the branch.
She didn't miss any wild vegetables she came across on the way and put them all into the basket behind her.
When she encountered lone pheasants and rabbits, she used the skills from her previous life to catch every one of them and collected them all into her space.
On the way, she met two lone wild boars. Thinking of the time when she was injured by a wild boar in her previous life, she used the space to store the two wild boars into the space.
They walked and collected along the way and soon arrived at the place where she had discovered the hundred-year-old ginseng in her previous life.
Suddenly, He Wanqing, who was about to go downhill, looked up and found that He Cao, who was supposed to be working in the fields, was walking in the opposite direction of her direction with Xu Weijun.
Thinking of He Cao's weirdness and the hillside where she was going, she lowered her eyes and thought about the environment there, and decided to take a detour to take a look first.
Looking up at the two people's gradually disappearing figures, she turned around and walked over with the backpack on her back.
He used a sickle in one hand to prevent himself from rolling down the hillside, and with the other hand he gradually grabbed the branches and weeds around him, making preparations for both situations.
Soon he reached the halfway point of the slope. He looked up and found that the figures of the two people could be seen through the gap. He immediately squatted down and let the weeds cover himself.
He withdrew his gaze from the mountain and began to scan the surroundings.
Soon, her eyes widened as she looked at the location she had found.
That is~、
Oh my god, is this ginseng a spirit? It's so big, much bigger than the century-old ginseng she found in her previous life.
Looking up at He Cao who was searching the other side, she slowly moved her body, moving towards the ginseng bit by bit.
Soon, she arrived at the location and casually dug into the grass on both sides, and found four very old ginsengs and several ginsengs that were a few years old.
She turned her head to look at He Cao and the other person, and saw that they were still pulling out the grass bit by bit. She took out a red rope from the space and tied it to the ginseng leaves.
He took out a small shovel and started digging.
I don’t know if it was because she was nervous or the ground was too hard, but she dug more than ten times before she finally dug up the soil.
He Wanqing looked up from time to time at He Cao and Xu Weijun who were looking for ginseng along the hillside, fearing that the two would discover her, so she did not delay her actions at all.
Soon, the largest ginseng was dug out successfully under her roughness. Without having time to look at it, she continued to dig out the next one.
Two hours later, she had dug up several ginseng plants, including small ones, along with the soil, and sent them into the space.
She had been concentrating on digging ginseng, but suddenly she looked up and found that the couple was only two meters away from her.
In order to prevent He Cao from finding out that she was the one who stole the ginseng and causing trouble for herself by spreading the news, she covered the dug hole with a shovel and slipped into the space when the two of them looked up at her.
"Phew~ That was a close call. I was almost discovered." He sat down on the ground in the space, muttering to himself with lingering fear.
Thinking it was not appropriate to go out now, she got up and walked to the backyard.
She was very happy when she found that the ginseng she dug up with the soil had taken root in the ground and was growing better than outside.
Not bad, her efforts just now were not in vain.
Looking at the automatically fenced-off land, she squatted down and reached out to touch the ginseng leaves one by one.
As if they could sense her happiness, the ginsengs bent and swayed when she stroked them, showing that they were also very happy.
Compared to her happiness in the space, the two people who found a place outside were not doing well.
Looking at the fresh soil in front of him, He Cao's face twisted.
She clearly remembered that this ginseng site was very old and had not been discovered. Why were several pits dug and filled here now?
Who is it?
Who stole her money?
"Is this the ginseng you mentioned? Where is the ginseng?" Looking at the newly filled soil in front of him, Xu Weijun asked knowingly, looking at her with a slightly crazy look in his eyes.
It looked like she would be beaten here if she didn't give an explanation.
He Cao, who was secretly hating Xu Weijun, looked up at his expression, took a step back, and said with trembling lips:
"Wei~Wei Jun, you~you listen to my explanation."
"Speak." She clenched her hands together, and a sound of joints cracking was heard, which stopped in He Cao's ears. If she could sit back, she would definitely have run away.
Thinking about how in just a few days they had gone from being a loving couple to being beaten one-sidedly, she once again began to hate He Wanqing's family.
If she hadn't kept staring at him, she would never have been caught cheating when she went to the commune.
If she had not written a letter to the factory to report everything they had conspired against, and reported everything to Xiao Hongbing and the factory's Supervisory Office, how could Xu Weijun have been fired from the factory?
If she wasn't fired, even if they were caught cheating, she could still go to the factory and use the money she had to buy a job after a while. But what about now?
Because the money she had hidden before was gone, her natal family was gone, and her husband's family, who had always praised her, were gone too.
Thinking of her current miserable life, the hatred in her eyes almost made her raise her hand to hit Xu Weijun opposite her.
"Say, you want to explain, so why are you standing there?"
Looking at He Cao, who was in a daze with hatred in her eyes, Xu Weijun suppressed his hand that wanted to hit her and urged her to explain. Otherwise, he was afraid that if he started to hit her, she would not have a chance to explain.
He Cao suddenly came to her senses and looked at Xu Weijun who was staring at her with bloodthirsty eyes. She shuddered all over and immediately started to explain, fearing that if she was a step too late, she would be hit by fists and all kinds of torture.
"Guardians, there is ginseng here. We are probably a step too late.
Don't worry, if there's one here, there must be one somewhere else. Let's look for it nearby, what do you think?"
"What do you think?" Without saying anything, Xu Weijun grabbed her collar and asked.
"Wei Jun, don't be impulsive. Have you forgotten the money I earned from selling ginseng? We will definitely find it if we keep looking!"
Looking at the raised fist, He Cao cried and begged for mercy.
"Heh~ I had forgotten it if you hadn't mentioned it, but now that you reminded me, I remembered it.
Come on, tell me, didn't you say that you sold the ginseng for more than 20,000 yuan? Where's the money?
The family is in urgent need of money, so you should take it out instead of hiding it." He let go of her hand and helped her straighten the wrinkled collar.
In order not to make her nervous, he took a step back. The fierce expression on his face disappeared here, and was replaced by the smile that charmed her in the beginning, just to make her tell him the location of the money.
So that he could have the ability to pay back the money he owed, and use the money to buy a job in the commune, he couldn't work in the fields for even a day.
He couldn't stand the current gap, and even more so the disdainful looks from the villagers.
