After Lu An'an and Gu Shichuan finished eating, they got ready to go up the mountain. On the way, they ran into Gu Tingyan and Gu Shichuan, who wanted to go with them.
Looking at the two of them, Lu An'an felt a strange urge to keep them out of the matter.
So, she went along with her wishes and said perfunctorily, "No, we have to go cut down trees. If we run into Xiong Da and Xiong Er, we won't be able to protect you two."
Gu Tingyan: "?"
Gu Shichuan: "?"
The live stream was filled with laughter.
[My sister's started doing Cosplay again, this time it's Bald Qiang, hahaha.]
Why didn't you bring our King Gigi and Momo? They could have caused even more trouble!
[I laughed so hard I slapped my Ferrari and four batteries popped out.]
Gu Shichuan had three black lines on his forehead, his eyes brimming with tears of grievance: "An'an, have you forgotten the bond we had in our previous group? Have you forgotten the joy we shared watching my brother get scammed? You..."
Lu An'an gently raised her hand, made a "meow" gesture, and said coldly, "No, even if you say you are Xia Yuhe from Daming Lake, it won't work."
Gu Shichuan: "..."
Seeing Lu An'an's determined expression that she wouldn't let them play together, Gu Shichuan had no choice but to pitifully step aside, his voice low: "Alright then, you guys go ahead, we won't go with you."
Lu An'an ignored Gu Shichuan's performance and instead suggested to Gu Tingyan, "You two shouldn't just sit around. Go check out Uncle Niu's house. Didn't Li Chunhua leave things unsaid yesterday? It might be some kind of mission."
[Send the male lead to the female lead's side instead; why are you always following me and my brother?]
Lu Yanli nodded frantically in his heart. That's right, that's right. He didn't even bother to say it. Gu Tingyan was like a little shadow, always following him around.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyan's eyes flickered slightly. After considering it carefully in his mind, he agreed, "Alright, then Shi Chuan and I will go over there. We'll keep each other informed about any news here."
"Yes, that's fine."
Lu An'an agreed, and then the four of them headed off to their respective destinations.
Lu An'an and Lu Yanli traversed the mountains, searching for treasure.
As they ventured deeper into the mountains, the climate became increasingly pleasant, and they finally discovered Yunling Village's legitimate economic source—ginseng.
Lu An'an walked around, carefully observing the ginseng, her heart filled with astonishment.
These ginseng roots look like they're being frequently inspected and managed. I thought the village was involved in human trafficking, so the ginseng probably wasn't very good anymore.
Lu Yanli's heart skipped a beat. So she really was a human trafficker! His sister hadn't given him any warning before suddenly revealing her thoughts, leaving him completely unprepared.
Lu An'an happily took off her basket and took out her tools.
Luckily, I was smart enough to ask for two baskets when I came. The ginseng looked pretty good, so I figured I might as well dig some up and take it home to nourish my parents.
She strung the ginseng into a chain, secured the ginseng she had chosen, and carefully took out a small shovel to slowly dig around the ginseng.
Seeing this, Lu Yanli felt a surge of excitement and couldn't help but squat down, about to start digging as well, when he was stopped by Lu An'an, who had already dug up a ginseng.
"Brother! Don't move, I'll do it!"
Lu Yanli stood up, touched his nose, and said, "I wanted to help you."
Lu An'an carefully wrapped the ginseng in birch leaves, pulled Lu Yanli down to squat, and carefully placed the ginseng into Lu Yanli's basket. She said earnestly, "Brother, just lend me your basket to carry the ginseng. Professional things should be done by professionals."
After saying that, she lowered her head again and continued searching for ginseng of good quality.
The viewers in the live stream were somewhat shocked to see Lu An'an's skillful movements.
[No, my sister seems quite skilled at it. Is that right?]
[For those in the know, is this the correct way to harvest ginseng?]
[Lu An'an clearly had some knowledge of ginseng; she even knew about the mallet lock made by tying two copper coins to a red thread to prevent the ginseng from escaping. Moreover, the ginseng she dug up was very old. It just goes to show that someone who hasn't studied these things really wouldn't know.]
[What! If that's the case, I'll really start to doubt whether what Lu Rongyu said about her sister's medical skills was true.]
Lu An'an happily dug up several ginseng roots. After filling both baskets, she stood up with satisfaction, looking at her harvest with a bright smile.
"Hmm, such good stuff is too good to leave to these bastards. Let me take it all."
She counted the number of ginseng roots in the basket, her eyes shining even brighter.
[I'm rich! I'm rich! I'll keep some for my parents and sell the rest. I can make a fortune! Hahaha!]
Lu Yanli smiled indulgently at Lu An'an's money-grubbing appearance.
Once Lu An'an calmed down from her excitement, Lu Yanli began his act: "Little sister, it's still early. How about we go check out the place the village chief said bears roam?"
Lu An'an smoothly took over the role, frowning and looking scared and troubled. "Second brother, let's not go. What if there really is a bear? We can't fight it, and we can't run away. It's too dangerous. I'm scared."
The thought that "the bear might be even more afraid than you" lingered on Lu Yanli's mind, but he swallowed it back. Instead, he put on a gentle expression and said, "I think the village chief is just trying to scare us. If there really were bears in these mountains, how could they not be allowed to enter?"
He quietly approached and lowered his voice: "I suspect the sealed-off area must be a hidden quest. Let's go check it out."
Lu An'an put on an expression that seemed both convinced and hesitant, pinching her chin as if deep in thought.
