Chapter 44 Discovering the Treasure



But Little Bell was not convinced. "No, I want to dig too. I don't believe I can't find any treasure!"

After saying that, she ran to the place where Jin Bei had just stood and started digging with her short hands. Lin Ran didn't stop her and just treated it as a game.

You have to say, little Lingling was quite serious. She squatted on the ground with her little butt sticking out, grabbed the "grass" on the ground and started digging. She was not strong enough and dug slowly with the little hoe, but she dug one step at a time.

Lin Ran moved very quickly, picking up and digging up a lot of wild vegetables that he was familiar with. They were actually quite good.

There are many kinds of wild vegetables. Most of the vegetables dug at the foot of the mountain are shepherd's purse, which is delicious whether fried or used to make dumplings or steamed buns.

But if you eat too much, it won't taste good. The ones on the mountain are different, with several kinds mixed together, so you can have more flavors, which is always good.

He was digging at the top when Little Bell suddenly laughed, "Hehehehe."

Lin Ran was about to put the wild vegetables in his hand into the basket when Xiao Lingling turned around.

"Third brother, look, I dug up some wild vegetables. Look, it's quite big!"

Lin Ran was a little far away from Xiao Lingling at this moment. When he heard the sound, he stood up and said, "Huh? Where is it? Little sister, don't move. Third brother is coming right away!"

Little Bell shook the wild vegetables in her hand happily, "Oh, then I'll dig while I wait for you, there are still a lot here!"

Lin Ran was worried that she had dug something wrong, so he quickly came over and said, "Little sister, I'm here. Let me see what wild vegetables you dug. I want to see if they are edible!"

Xiao Lingling was digging new wild vegetables nearby, so she could only point to the one she had dug next to her.

"That's it! Isn't it huge? It looks a lot like a radish. It must be delicious!"

She said there must be treasures on this mountain, and she didn't expect there were radishes. They are much more delicious than wild vegetables and more filling.

But I don’t know what’s wrong with this radish, it’s wrinkled and different from the white ones my grandma used to grow.

Maybe it’s because it didn’t rain, but as long as it’s edible, it’s a treasure.

She was digging happily, but Lin Ran was dumbfounded at this moment. Why did this wild vegetable look a bit like ginseng to him?

There used to be a doctor in the village next to them. When Xiao Lingling was born two years ago, his mother bled a lot, so the doctor prescribed this medicine for his mother.

But it wasn't a whole piece, they just gave me one, and they charged a lot of money for that.

Thinking of this, he almost wanted to stop breathing. He turned to look at Jinbei and found that it was lying next to him watching Xiao Lingling digging ginseng.

Feeling Lin Ran's gaze, Jin Bei looked up at him and was not surprised at all to see his horrified look.

It said there must be a treasure here. Although it didn't know what it was used for, it had seen many people go up the mountain specifically to look for this thing.

At that time, it was curious and followed them to see it. It was just some grass, and it didn't know why those people were so happy.

Lin Ran quickly picked up the ginseng and stuffed it into the basket, then covered it with wild vegetables. Then he turned around to look for Xiao Lingling. However, when he turned around, he saw that most of the ginseng that Xiao Lingling was digging in her hand had been exposed.

Now he was completely afraid to move and looked at the area under his feet.

Oh my goodness, these can't all be ginseng, right? Did I disturb the ginseng den?

But no matter whether it is true or not, just start digging.

He didn't care about the wild vegetables at this moment and just rolled up his sleeves and started working. There were only two words left in his mind: money.

Seeing how enthusiastic Third Brother was, Little Bell laughed too. "Hey, Third Brother, am I really that awesome? This radish must be tastier than wild vegetables, right?"

Lin Ran looked at her silently, the corners of his mouth twitching for a long time, and finally nodded, "Well, it's definitely better than wild vegetables. Grandma likes it the most."

When Xiao Lingdang heard that Zhao liked it, she also followed suit. Her little hands moved very quickly and she dug one in a short while. No one knew how she did it, but it was fast and she didn't hurt the roots at all.

Lin Ran was extremely envious, but he still had to be as careful as possible in his actions.

The two of them started digging right away. They didn't even notice anything after digging for over an hour, but it was getting later and later.

Lin Hao had taken his younger brothers back a long time ago, but Lin Ran and Xiao Lingdang had not returned for a long time. The whole family was extremely worried and had no interest in doing anything.

"Where have these two children been? Why haven't they come back yet? I'm so worried." Zhao was so anxious that she was spinning around in place.

Sun's heart was also beating fast. "That is to say, is he in danger? But with Jin Bei by his side, he should be fine, right?"

"You think we're in danger? No, no, we can't wait any longer. First cousin, you stay and look after the kids. Second cousin, hurry up, let's go look for him in the mountains!"

When Zhao heard that there might be danger, he could no longer sit still and immediately left.

Seeing this, Wu Hong quickly said, "Sister-in-law, you all go, I'll stay here! Go and see what's going on."

Li nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you, sister-in-law."

After saying that, the group walked quickly down the mountain. Sun followed them all the way, and the worry on her face was visible to the naked eye.

Fortunately, Lin Ran had been paying attention. Seeing that it was getting late and the ginseng had been basically dug up, he carried his little sister on his back.

"Jinbei, lead the way. Let's hurry down the mountain. It's getting late. If we don't go back soon, grandma will probably be worried."

Little Bell only realized it was getting dark and started to get anxious. "It's all my fault. I forgot to check the time. Third brother, please put me down. I can walk on my own."

"You can walk, but you have short legs and run slowly. Don't worry, I'll carry you on my back and we'll be able to walk faster."

Xiao Lingling looked at her legs again. They were indeed short and thick. She felt a little discouraged for a moment.

She actually wanted to say that although her legs were short, she was not slow when running, but that would consume spiritual energy. After thinking about it this way, she felt that it was not worth it, so she just lay on Lin Ran listlessly.

Lin Ran's pace was still very fast, and they did not go too deep. When they went down the mountain, they happened to meet Zhao and others who wanted to go up to find them.

When Zhao saw him carrying Little Bell, she was so frightened that she almost fainted. "Oh, my little Bell, what happened? Is she in danger or hurt? Let grandma see her quickly, oh, my sweetheart."

Without giving Lin Ran a chance to explain, he snatched the little bell from his back.

Originally, Xiao Lingling was still drowsy and a little sleepy, but she was awakened by the hug. "Grandma? Grandma, why are you here? Do you know that I found the treasure?"
