The older sister and younger brother are quite young, and Nao Nao and Tengteng always pay more attention to the older sister. Nao Nao notices the older sister's furrowed brows immediately.
Nao Nao put down what she was doing and came over to sit next to her sister: "Missing home?"
"Hmm." The older sister hugged Nao Nao's arm. "Brother Nao Nao, what do you think Dad, Mom, Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Shang, and Xiao Hei are doing now?" The older sister wanted to see, but Han Bin and Xiao Man told her that she couldn't look into other people's rooms at night.
Nao Nao looked towards home. "My parents, Grandpa Shang, and Grandpa Guo must be wondering what we're doing right now."
The older sister pouted. "Mom is so mean. She always tries to pull up my brother and me, these two little seedlings."
Nao Nao ruffled her older sister's hair. "If you don't come out with us to train now, then when you and your brother grow up, you'll have to lead your brother out to train."
"Then I'll come out with you guys. Hehehe..." As long as she didn't fall behind her brothers, she was fine. "Brother, look how bright that star in the sky is!"
"Hmm." Nao Nao pointed to a star and asked, "Do you know what star that is?"
"I know. Grandpa Shang taught me. Brother Nao Nao, do you know what kind of star that is?"
"Know.……"
Not far from Naonao and Tengteng, Xiaohei whispered to Xiaoman, "Master, the place the little masters found is quite safe."
Xiaoman smiled.
It was the first time that Nao Nao and Tengteng went into the mountains alone. After they left, Xiao Man secretly followed them with Xiao Hei.
Nao Nao and Tengteng planned to collect some travel expenses and head back, estimating that five or six days would be enough. Therefore, Xiaoman decided to wait until Nao Nao and Tengteng returned from the mountains before going to find Han Bin.
On the other side, Zuo Zuo and You You had already prepared the meal.
Xiaoman looked at Xiaohei and said, "You stay here and watch over things. I'll go get something to eat."
Xiao Hei nodded.
After dinner, Nao Nao assigned tasks to everyone. He, Zuo Zuo, and You You took turns keeping watch for the first half of the night, while Tengteng and Lü Hui took turns for the second half. The older sister and younger brother didn't have to keep watch.
Before going to sleep, the older sister walked to the old wolf's side, looked at him, and said, "Keep a good watch, and I'll roast a chicken for you tomorrow."
Old Wolf nodded.
The older sister patted the old wolf's head: "Good boy."
After Tengteng, his older sister, younger brother, and Lü Hui went to sleep, Naonao, Zuozuo, and Youyou sat down by the fire.
Nao Nao looked at Zuo Zuo and You You and said, "Brother will test you." Then, Nao Nao drew a plant on the ground with a twig: "What is this?"
Zuo Zuo: "Codonopsis pilosula".
Nao Nao drew another plant: "What is this?"
Youyou: "Angelica sinensis".
Nao Nao: "Draw a few of Brother Kao Kao."
"Okay." Zuo Zuo drew something on the ground: "Brother Nao Nao, what's this?"
...
Xiao Hei nuzzled against Xiao Man. Meaning: My little masters really know how to make the most of their time.
Xiaoman smiled.
In the latter half of the night, Tengteng and Lü Hui played several games of blindfold chess.
After daybreak, Nao Nao and Tengteng led everyone to the river to wash up.
When they went into the mountains, Nao Nao and the others carried a pot on their backs. After washing up, Zuo Zuo and You You set up the pot.
After dinner, Tengteng called everyone together: "Let me assign tasks to everyone. Lü Hui and I will be in charge of guard duty. Naonao, you'll be in a group with your sister and brother. Zuo Zuo and You You, you two will be in a group."
Nao Nao, Zuo Zuo, You You, Sister, Brother, and Lü Hui: "Okay."
Tengteng: "Then let's get started." Tengteng beckoned to Old Wolf: "Come here."
After Lao Lang came over, Tengteng pointed to Zuo Zuo and You You: "You follow those two."
Old Wolf nodded and walked over to Zuo Zuo and You You.
After taking only a few steps, the older sister said, "Brother Nao Nao, do you think this is ginseng?"
Nao Nao and Tengteng thought it was impossible for it to be such a coincidence. However, since their older sister had asked Nao Nao, they took a look. Upon seeing it, Nao Nao's eyes widened in surprise: "Wow, it really is ginseng!"
Tengteng: Really? Little sister, you're so lucky!
The younger brother followed his older sister around. When Nao Nao said it was ginseng, the younger brother squatted down and started digging.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Zuo and You You ran over to help their younger brother dig. A little while later, Zuo Zuo, You You, and their brother had dug up the ginseng.
When the ginseng was dug out, Nao Nao and the others were stunned.
Nao Nao: "My goodness, this ginseng is at least 500 years old, if not 800."
Tengteng: "If we sell this ginseng, we can go to the capital a hundred times."
Zuo Zuo: "Shall we still gather herbs?"
On the other side, Xiaoman looked up at the sky and said, "Damn you, God, you're cheating for your daughter again."
Nao Nao looked at the ginseng in her younger brother's hand: "This kind of ginseng is rare and hard to come by, let's keep it for ourselves."
Tengteng: "Yes. Lü Hui, when we get back I'll cut you half and you can take it back to your grandparents."
Lü Hui didn't stand on ceremony with Tengteng: "Okay." Lü Hui looked at his sister and said, "Little girl, I'll ask your Grandma Lü to buy you new clothes."
"Brother Huihui, Grandma Lü is my mentor." Grandma Lü knows how to embroider. My older sister prefers this kind of work that can be done while sitting down.
Lü Hui laughed and said, "My grandmother got such a good apprentice. Why don't you become my apprentice too?"
"But..." the older sister blinked. "I know everything you know."
"Then I'll go learn something you don't know, and then come back and teach you."
"Then go learn something you like."
"Okay. What do you like? I'll go learn it."
"I like embroidery and playing chess."
Nao Nao looked at Lü Hui and said, "Don't even think about playing chess. My sister is better at chess than you."
Tengteng continued, "Why don't you learn embroidery?" Although Grandma Lü knew how to embroider, she could only do simple things.
Sister: "Okay. Brother Huihui, why don't you go learn embroidery?"
Lu Hui glared at the noisy, restless boy. What was a grown man like him doing learning embroidery? "Sister, what else do you like?"
The older sister thought for a moment. "That's all."
Lu Hui touched his nose. "Then I'll be your older brother."
Sister: "Okay. Brother Huihui, do you think that's ginseng?"
Lü Hui followed his sister's gaze. "My goodness," Lü Hui said, looking at the noisy children. "Have we arrived at the ginseng nest?"
The younger brother, along with Zuo Zuo and You You, went over and dug out the ginseng. After digging it out, everyone was amazed once again.
Nao Nao looked at Lü Hui and said, "Now we don't have to cut it in half."
The younger brother placed the two ginseng roots together. They were about the same size. "Sister, you're amazing!"
The older sister smiled. "What's so special about that? You could find it too."
Younger brother: "Really?"
Sister: "Hmm. Ginseng is easy to find. Look, I found two right away."
Zuo Zuo: "That's because you're lucky."
Nao Nao: "Hmm. If ginseng were really that easy to find, it wouldn't be so valuable."
Tengteng didn't want his older sister and younger brother to think that finding ginseng was like picking mushrooms. "Some people spend their whole lives collecting herbs and never find a single ginseng."
The older sister blinked. "Really?"
Nao Nao and Tengteng: "Mm."
“But…” the older sister pointed ahead. “That looks like a ginseng root too.”
Everyone looked in the direction the older sister was pointing.
Lu Hui was so shocked his jaw almost dropped. "My goodness, we've really stumbled into a ginseng pit today."
After the younger brother, Zuo Zuo, and You You dug out the ginseng, no one knew what to say.
Xiaoman looked up and glared at the heavens. Damn you, heavens! If I didn't stop you, would you lay all the ginseng in this mountain right in front of your lazy daughter?
