Wen Nuan and his friends dug some wild vegetables, picked up some firewood and prepared to go back.
The main reason was that Liu Xiaoling kept urging us to hurry back to the educated youth site to clean up the pheasants.
Wen Nuan also wanted to go back quickly. Her main purpose this morning was to catch the pheasant. Now that the pheasant was caught, she also wanted to go back quickly and have a good meal at noon!
In fact, Xie Sufang and Lin Yiman were also looking forward to a good lunch, so they simply packed up, hid the pheasants and pheasant eggs, and went down the mountain with their backpacks.
Along the way, Wen Nuan kept repeating, "I can't see anyone, I can't see anyone, I can't see anyone, I can't see anyone..."
So the few of them didn't see a single villager until they arrived at the educated youth site.
After returning to the educated youth camp, Xie Sufang and Lin Yiman said thankfully, "My heart was in my throat all the way, for fear that we would run into villagers and let them discover the pheasants in our baskets!"
"Me too..." Lin Yiman patted his chest and said softly.
Wen Nuan looked at the two people whispering to each other and smiled mysteriously, hiding her achievements and fame...
At the strong request of Wen Nuan and Liu Xiaoling, Lin Yiman stewed the whole chicken and cut a handful of leeks and fried six pheasant eggs.
The male educated youth brought back a lot of firewood at noon and were very surprised to see the sumptuous lunch.
"Are we having chicken today?!" Zhang Hongliang, who is usually calm, was also very excited when he saw the big pot of chicken stewed with potatoes in the middle of the table.
"Well, when we were digging wild vegetables this morning, we saw this chicken hit a tree and fainted, so we picked it up!"
"This is really great luck!"
"Yes, I found that our educated youth camp has been really lucky recently! We have eaten chicken twice in just half a month!"
Listening to the male educated youths' words, Xie Sufang was moved and said softly, "For this chicken today, you still have to thank Xiao Nuan. If Xiao Nuan hadn't heard the chicken's movement in the first place, the chicken might have been scared away by us before we even saw it!"
"Hey! Now that I think about it, I was able to pick up chickens both times because of Xiao Nuan!" Liu Xiaoling looked at Wen Nuan with shining eyes, "Xiao Nuan, you are so lucky! Come on, rub it for me, rub it for me, so that I can get some good luck too!"
As she spoke, Liu Xiaoling threw herself onto Wen Nuan, put her big furry head into her arms, and kept nudging her.
"Oh, Sister Xiaoling, stop it, it's so itchy!" Wen Nuan couldn't stand Liu Xiaoling's arching anymore and kept dodging.
"Okay, stop making trouble and sit down to eat!" Xie Sufang put a small basket of cornmeal cakes on the table and said with a smile.
"Dinner is finally ready! I'm starving!" Upon hearing that it was time to eat, Liu Xiaoling quickly let go of Wen Nuan and rushed to the table to sit down.
"Thanks to the educated youth Wen, I had bone soup in the morning and stewed chicken with potatoes at noon. Life is so wonderful!" Zhang Hongliang said happily.
Yang Zhijun looked up at Wen Nuan, his eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything and continued to eat with his head down.
The brothers Wang Hongjun and Wang Hongqi were as gloomy as usual, but they still smiled at Wen Nuan in a friendly manner.
No one said anything else. They all lowered their heads, buried their faces in the bowl, and ate with big mouthfuls!
In a short while, a large pot of stewed chicken with potatoes, a large plate of scrambled eggs with leeks and a basket of cornmeal pancakes were all eaten up.
After dinner, everyone decided to go back and take a nap.
"Master, Master, it's a rare opportunity that we have time today, let's go dig wild ginseng this afternoon!"
Wen Nuan was lying on the kang, stretching her body, and Fei Fei's furry body was jumping back and forth on Wen Nuan's belly.
"But if I say I want to go up the mountain alone, Sister Sufang and the others will definitely not agree..."
"Wait a moment, wait until they fall asleep, then we two can go!"
Wen Nuan thought about it and realized that the wheat harvest would start the day after tomorrow. She would have to harvest the wheat, thresh the wheat, dry the wheat, and deliver the grain. The whole process would take at least half a month. And since she only had time to go up the mountain today, she agreed.
After Xie Sufang and the others fell asleep, Wen Nuan quietly got up and, under the guidance of Fei Fei, walked towards the depths of the mountains.
At the beginning, the outer roads were easier to walk on, but the further in you go, the harder it becomes. No one has walked on the road, and weeds are rampant. Wen Nuan had no choice but to break off a thicker branch and beat the grass to clear a path for herself.
"Fei Fei, please pay close attention to whether there are any snakes in the bushes. I am most afraid of these slippery mollusks!"
"Don't worry, Master, I'll be watching you!"
In this way, under Feifei's guidance, Wen Nuan finally reached her destination with great difficulty.
"Master, the master is here!"
Feifei flew to a sturdy old tree and called out as she flew back and forth in the grass under the tree.
Wen Nuan walked over carefully and parted the grass. Hidden underneath the grass were several plants with oval leaves.
Wen Nuan didn't recognize wild ginseng. She looked at the plants and asked curiously, "Fei Fei, are these wild ginseng?"
"Yes, Master! This is where I found the most wild ginseng plants. Two of them are about 200 years old, three are about 100 years old, and the rest are several decades old. There are also some seedlings."
"Then let's dig up the 200-year-old and the 100-year-old ones, and keep the rest!"
"Master, dig up a few more plants that are seventy or eighty years old and save them for you to drink when you get home. This will help nourish your body!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Since Wen Nuan doesn't understand, she'll just listen to Fei Fei. Listen to advice and have a full meal!
"But how do I dig it?" Wen Nuan suddenly remembered that she didn't have the tools to dig wild ginseng.
"Master, you don't have to dig it yourself. Just put your hand on the leaf and use your spiritual sense to receive it into your space."
“So simple?”
"Yes, it's that simple!"
"Then I'll try!"
Wen Nuan put her hand on the oval leaf, thinking "collect", and sure enough, the wild ginseng in her hand disappeared.
Wen Nuan used her spiritual sense to look at her own space again, and there lay a fresh wild ginseng with soil still on it.
"It's really possible!" Wen Nuan shouted happily, "Tell me which plants you want to dig up, and I'll store them all in my space!"
Under Feifei's guidance, Wen Nuan dug a total of 12 wild ginsengs, two of which were over 200 years old, three were over 100 years old, and seven were over 70 or 80 years old. These were kept specifically for nourishing her body.
This trip was a great harvest, and Wen Nuan happily called Fei Fei to go back to the educated youth point.
"Fei Fei, if I touch this thing, can I receive it directly into the space?"
"Yes, Master!"
"That's great! This is simply a magical tool for digging wild vegetables!"
Feifei looked at the happy Wen Nuan with a frown on her face. Is it just your intention to use the space to dig wild vegetables?
Never mind, Master, do whatever you want...
