After lunch, Zhou Ziwen took an axe, tied a sack around his waist, and headed up the mountain with Tayun.
This time we are traveling light, just hunting and not worrying about anything else.
Perhaps sensing his master's emotions, Tayun also appeared to be in high spirits, with his four legs moving rhythmically, like a general about to go to war.
Seeing Tayun's appearance, Zhou Ziwen's eyes flashed with admiration. This dog has good eyesight and is becoming more and more like a hunting dog.
All the way up the mountain, Tayun was not as jumpy as usual. He followed Zhou Ziwen without running around. His ears moved from time to time, always paying attention to the movements around him.
When they arrived at the foot of Niutou Mountain, Zhou Ziwen did not delay and took Tayun all the way up the mountain, then crossed the top of the mountain and continued down the mountain.
He had been here for so long, but he had never passed Niutou Mountain and jumped over another mountain.
Today he planned to walk a little further to see if he could encounter a larger wild animal.
His requirements were not high. Just like last time, he just wanted to bring back a roe deer.
This time there was only one person, and the goal was clear. Zhou Ziwen was very fast and soon crossed the middle of the mountain and continued to go down.
This area was a place he had never been to before, and the deeper he went, the thicker the weeds became.
Sometimes some vines blocked the way and we had to go around them to move forward.
From time to time, Zhou Ziwen would pick up an axe and chop out a path, so as to alert the enemy and make it easier to walk.
Tayun followed him closely, without making any noise.
But Zhou Ziwen noticed that the little guy was also paying attention to the movements around him at all times.
Once it finds something, it will make a sound to alert you.
"Hey, what is this?"
At this moment, Zhou Ziwen's eyes lit up. Staring at a patch of grass, he found that there was an inconspicuous weed among them that was a little different.
“This looks like ginseng!”
Zhou Ziwen walked closer and looked carefully for a while.
Through the medical books he had read during this period, and the knowledge that had been subtly integrated into his mind through the auto-switch panel, he finally confirmed that this was ginseng.
"Good boy, I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain after going out."
This time, Zhou Ziwen no longer talked about going hunting. He just wanted to get the ginseng out first and see how big it was.
Judging from his limited knowledge, this ginseng should be quite old, but he would have to dig it out and take a look at it to know exactly how old it is.
Zhou Ziwen had no tools to dig the soil, so he simply found a branch.
This thing is a good thing, and you need to dig it slowly. If you accidentally break the roots, the loss will be great.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen had enough control and his hands moved quickly. After a while, the ginseng head was exposed.
Judging from its size, it should be a little bigger than a carrot.
"I'm rich! This big ginseng can be a family heirloom." At this moment, even though Zhou Ziwen was calm and composed, he couldn't help but be ecstatic.
At this moment, he felt like he had won the lottery, or something had fallen from the sky. He couldn't believe it was real.
But touching the rough soil, he was sure that this was real.
"dig!"
After a moment of joy, Zhou Ziwen continued to carefully dig the soil around the ginseng with a branch.
This time, Zhou Ziwen was more careful. He dug up the soil bit by bit, just like scraping.
However, although his movements were light, his speed was very fast. With his control over his body, it was difficult to hurt the ginseng.
When you are busy, time always passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, two hours have passed.
After two hours of hard work, he had dug out the main part of the ginseng. What remained were the roots, which were also the most troublesome part.
The roots of this ginseng are very long and deeply rooted, and you have to be very careful when working with it for fear of breaking the roots.
However, Zhou Ziwen didn't mind the trouble at all, and even wished he had more roots.
He had already decided that even if he didn't go home tonight, he would stay here until the ginseng was dug out.
Soon, three hours passed and the sun was about to set.
Zhou Ziwen also dug out most of the ginseng.
In fact, there are rules for digging ginseng, such as tying a red rope and there seem to be traditions such as rituals.
But Zhou Ziwen is not a mountain hiker and doesn't understand these things at all.
As the saying goes, if you believe it, it will work; if you don't believe it, it will disappear. Zhou Ziwen chose not to believe it because he didn't understand the ins and outs of it.
Soon, as time passed, it became darker and darker outside.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen has good eyesight, and although it is a little dark, he can still make light of it.
Until the last bit of light in the sky faded away, Zhou Ziwen finally dug out the complete ginseng.
"Let's go, step on the clouds, and go home."
Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhou Ziwen was afraid that the Chen sisters at home would worry, so he took off his shirt, carefully wrapped the ginseng inside, and tied a knot with his sleeve. Then he called Tayun to go home.
"Woof woof."
After staying here for a whole afternoon, Tayun couldn't stand it any longer. When he heard Zhou Ziwen's call, he instantly became active.
On the way back, Zhou Ziwen groped in the dark.
Although it was dark outside, there was still some light. Zhou Ziwen did not have night blindness, so he could still barely see the surrounding environment at a close distance.
After a quick journey, Zhou Ziwen returned home in less than half an hour.
As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, Zhou Ziwen saw that the door of the Chen sisters' house was still open. Outside the door, the two sisters were squatting on the left and right of the door.
The moment they saw Zhou Ziwen, the two girls couldn't wait to stand up, and one of them couldn't help but pounce on him.
Zhou Ziwen didn't know how they were sure that this person was him when it was so dark outside.
"Brother Ziwen, you're finally back. I was so worried about you."
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Ziwen felt a soft body hugging him tightly.
"I'm fine, I was just delayed by something." Zhou Ziwen held the ginseng wrapped in clothes in one hand and patted the girl's back to comfort her with the other hand.
He felt a little guilty now. If he had known that these two girls would be so worried about his comfort, he would not have dug out the ginseng.
Anyway, the ginseng won’t run away. At worst, I can just go dig it up tomorrow.
"I'm so glad you're okay, Ziwen. Don't come back so late next time. You made Yiyi worry for so long."
Chen Shiying, who was standing by, also came over and, rarely, did not scold her sister for her unrestrained behavior.
"I'm not the only one who is worried. Sister, you're not very worried either." Chen Qiaoyi, who was lying in Zhou Ziwen's arms, retorted and left his arms.
However, even though she left Zhou Ziwen's arms, she held his hand tightly, fearing that he would disappear.
"What's wrong with me worrying?" Chen Shiying rarely refuted.
"Thank you for your concern, sister, and thank you Yiyi for your concern."
Seeing the two girls caring about him so much, Zhou Ziwen felt warm in his heart. (End of this chapter)
