Chapter 68 The Villagers Following Behind, Hoping to Get a Freebie
Lin Luoxi ignored them and, whenever she saw herbs on the road, she would take out a small hoe and start digging for them.
Seeing Lin Luoxi calmly digging for medicinal herbs, Lin Wenqian was not so calm.
He also noticed that the villagers were following at a distance, which annoyed him. "Second sister, I think these people are following behind, as if they want to pick up the scraps."
Moreover, he seemed to have spotted Lin Luodan, and he couldn't wait to climb faster and shake off these people.
"It's alright, let's start by digging for herbs today!" With money in her pocket, Lin Luoxi wasn't in a hurry and continued digging for herbs.
Whether it was herbs or any other kind of flower, as long as it was pretty and could produce nectar, Lin Luoxi dug it all up and put it in her basket.
"Second sister, why are you digging up these flowers? They're pretty but useless, and it's a waste of time." Lin Wenqian couldn't help but chime in when he saw Lin Luoxi not even letting go of the wildflowers in the mountains.
"Sigh!" Lin Luoxi sighed as she looked at the irritable Lin Wenqian, and quietly told him her plan.
With Lin Luoxi around, Lin Wenqian was finally less irritable.
He would bend down and dig up any herbs he recognized, and he would also dig up any pretty flowers he saw.
Along the way, Lin Luoxi and her brother stopped frequently, digging in various places.
The villagers, who originally wanted to follow behind Lin Luoxi and her brother to pick up some benefits, saw Lin Luoxi talking to the wild grass and flowers in the mountains.
After muttering a few curses under their breath, they left angrily, each finding a place to hunt for wild game and get to work.
They were unaware that Lin Luoxi had already become a disciple of Doctor Yang, and even less aware that what Lin Luoxi was digging up were not wild grasses, but valuable Chinese medicinal herbs.
"Second sister, do you think these flowers can really make money?" Lin Wenqian finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked after the villagers left.
"I can't guarantee what others can do, but I can definitely do it myself."
You should know that she is a master of medicine and poisons. It's an easy thing for her to concoct some kind of thing for women, as long as she has enough materials.
“Brother, come with me into the mountains these days to dig up medicinal herbs and wildflowers. I’ll be useful.”
"Only by specializing in your area of expertise can you avoid being surpassed by others and having your job taken away."
"After a while, I'm sure I'll be able to earn back all that silver." As long as the spiritual dew in the space is there, even arsenic can be turned into an antidote.
"Of course, if we go up the mountain and encounter wild game, we can hunt it while we're at it." The last sentence was meant to comfort Lin Wenqian.
"Okay, as long as it makes money, Second Sister, whatever you say goes!" In this era, even a penny can stump a grown man.
He'd do anything as long as it made money.
"Alright, hurry up and dig, hurry up and realize your wish of counting money until your hands cramp." Seeing Lin Wenqian's high spirits, Lin Luoxi couldn't help but continue to paint a rosy picture for him.
The story of counting money until his hands cramped deeply moved Lin Wenqian, making him see that the wildflowers and weeds all over the mountain were gleaming silver, beckoning to him.
He wielded the small hoe with great force.
When Lin Luoxi saw Lin Wenqian engrossed in digging for wildflowers, a sly smile crept onto her lips—the kind of cunning smile that modern bosses have when their employees work hard after being promised something in return.
At the same time, he also gave a knowing smile towards the direction behind a large tree, where a corner of his clothes was peeking out.
Looking at the wildflowers covering the mountain, Lin Luoxi took a deep breath, feeling very happy. She really loved her life now.
There's no pressure, and no tension like in fast-paced life. Although I fight with those awful people every day, it's more comfortable than the open and covert battles I face now.
Seeing Lin Wenqian working so hard, Lin Luoxi was not to be outdone and also dug with all her might.
After finding some fragrant wildflowers and Chinese herbs, they secretly tossed them into their spatial storage when Lin Wenqian wasn't looking.
After filling their baskets to the brim, the two siblings returned home with their bounty on their backs.
Unbeknownst to Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian, Xie Hanchuan had been waiting for a long time on the road leading into the deep mountains, until the sun was setting, but he had not seen Lin Luoxi enter the mountains.
Xie Hanchuan, looking disappointed, descended the mountain in the pitch-black depths of the mountains with the wild rabbit that had conveniently delivered itself to his doorstep.
"Hey, Luo Xi, Wen Qian, are you going up the mountain to dig for wildflowers and weeds today..." The villagers working in the fields looked at Lin Luo Xi and Lin Wen Qian's baskets with a look of disbelief.
Didn't they say Lin Dayou's eldest daughter wasn't stupid anymore? Why does she seem even more stupid than before? She's even infected Lin Wenqian, who's always been normal, and made him stupid too.
This is terrible! When I get back, I'll tell my family that any daughters in the family who are married into Lin Dayou's family absolutely cannot marry into his family as his daughter-in-law. The mental illness is contagious.
The wildflowers and weeds that these two people dug up on the mountain were not even eaten by the pigs.
"Oh, yes, my sister said these wildflowers would look beautiful planted in our yard, so we dug them up and brought them back." Lin Wenqian answered using the words Lin Luoxi had instructed him to use, regardless of what others thought.
"Oh, oh, I see. I didn't expect Luo Xi to have such good taste." Good heavens, she's clearly just a country girl, yet she acts like a rich young lady, even growing flowers.
Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian gave a casual answer, without intending to explain the purpose of these wildflowers and weeds to others. The two of them carried their baskets and went back.
"You're back!" Lin Dayou, who had been waiting anxiously inside, stood at the door and greeted Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian warmly as they returned.
"Judging from your exaggerated expression, could it be that those shameless old Lins have come to beg for money again?" Lin Luoxi always felt that Lin Dayou was hiding something from them.
"What are you saying, child? You've been up the mountain all day, and I'm happy to see you return safely, you know? I'm happy." Lin Dayou was unhappy to hear Lin Luoxi making fun of him.
"Hehe... good that nothing happened." Lin Luoxi carefully looked at the expression on Lin Dayou's face, and after confirming that nothing was wrong, she sneered, took the basket off her back with Lin Dayou, and went inside by herself.
"Huh, why are they all wildflowers and weeds?" Lin Dayou was a little surprised to see that his basket was full of wildflowers and weeds.
Didn't you say you were going up the mountain to make money? Why did you just dig up these wildflowers and weeds?
"Dad, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Lin Wenqian glanced at the villagers still walking on the road outside, and pushed Lin Dayou towards home.
"Wenqian, tell me, what are you going to do with all this wild grass you dug up?" Lin Dayou asked, quite curious about Lin Wenqian's mysterious demeanor.
“Father, have you forgotten who your second sister’s master is? In her eyes, how could these things be as simple as weeds?”
"By the way, my second sister said that these wildflowers are planted in the yard at home."
