Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

It is estimated that when there is no water, the water will flow into the pool along the bluestone slabs. Ouyang Qing saw the ginseng behind the spring at the first glance.

How could the surprise come so suddenly? Could this be what I was looking for today? Everyone's eyes were elsewhere.

Ouyang Qing pretended to be surprised and shouted: "Xiaohao~ Come and see if this is ginseng. How can there be so many ginseng in this place?"

Her exclamation startled the people who were carefully examining the cave. Ye Lihao almost ran over when he heard her.

He squatted down and observed carefully, then looked up and found that the onlookers were looking at him expectantly.

"This is really ginseng. This should be a small medicinal field. If I'm not mistaken, the one in the corner over there should be Polygonum multiflorum."

Ye Lihao was very excited at this moment. He had only seen processed ginseng before with his grandfather.

This is the first time I have planted ginseng in a medicinal field. If my grandfather knew there were so many ginsengs here,

I guess everyone would want to come and have a look. Ouyang Bai and the others guessed that the plants here might be medicinal herbs.

But I didn't think about ginseng. After all, what kind of good person would plant so much ginseng where he lives?

It looked like there were nearly 40 large ones, not counting the small ginsengs around them. Ouyang Bai and his companions still felt that it was a little unreal.

"Xiaohao~ Can you dig one out and take a look first?"

"I can, but I don't have the right tools right now, so I can only dig with my hands. Brother Ouyang, please help me first.

Isn't there some dry firewood over there? Please help me make it as thick as chopsticks, and then grind it on the stone wall, otherwise the ginseng roots will break easily."

"Okay, then you wait a moment, we'll try to do it as quickly as possible."

Ouyang Qing was still struggling at first, wondering how to pick so many herbs without being discovered. Now,

With this cave, I believe it is not a problem to stay in the mountains for a few days, and the kang and stove are ready.

Just bring your blankets and food with you. "Xiaohao~ We don't dare to dig up such good medicinal herbs randomly.

I'll leave it to you first. We'll come over to learn later. Sister Yanyan and Xiaoqing, let's clean up this hole.

When the time comes, Big Brother and the others can rest here while collecting herbs, and they can also make some simple meals.”

After hearing this, Xiang Xiaoqing first looked at the quilt on the kang. "The quilt on the kang has been left there for too long and has become hard.

It’s too much trouble to throw it away, so why not just put it in the kang and burn it!”

Ouyang Yan nodded. "Since we are going to burn it, let's put all the unusable things in this cave in and burn them! Many things have been left there for too long and I can smell the stench just now."

They started working right away. In a short while, the cave became busy. Ye Lihao picked a larger ginseng.

He lowered his head and started digging with his bare hands. If he was outside the cave, he wouldn't dare to dig with his hands because the soil was already frozen.

Although the soil in the cave was a bit hard, it was much better than outside. After a while, the tools were ready. This was the first time for the two to see ginseng being dug.

It was a bit strange. All the things on the kang had been dealt with. Ouyang Qing directly found a piece of clothing from the kang cabinet and tore it into three pieces.

Using it as a rag, it cleaned the place in a short while. The kang had already been heated. Fortunately, there was a clear pool of water in the cave.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to clean up. At this time, more than half of the ginseng has been dug, and now is the time to consider patience.

They all looked at it nervously. Gu Yueze and his group had already gone down the mountain and returned to the village. The courtyard of the educated youth point was in the middle of the village.

Even if they wanted to keep a low profile, they were still seen when they were carrying two wild boars and a bunch of prey back to the village.

The first people to see them were the children from the village who were out playing. The number of times wild boars had been killed in the village could be counted on one’s fingers.

It was obvious how rare it was. When a few children saw the wild boar, they started shouting, "We got a wild boar, we got a wild boar..."

He walked and shouted, and the noise made all the adults and old people in the house run out to see what was going on in the village.

The whole village would watch any little incident, but the villagers were good at one thing: no one would say anything even if they were jealous.

This is the old rule in their village. If you want to eat meat, you have to go up the mountain yourself. But now the animals in the mountains are short of food.

How could they dare to go up the mountain? Even if they could, they would just wander around the outskirts of the mountain. No one wanted to risk their life for a bite of food.

Gu Yueze and his friends used to go to Fan Xiangbing's house to deal with the prey they caught, but this time it was different. They lived outside.

When they were going down the mountain, Fan Xiangbing took the initiative to suggest sending the wild boar directly to the courtyard. Of course, this would also make it easier for them to deal with the other wild boars at night.

As soon as he entered the yard, Lou Junyao, who was following behind, turned around and closed the gate directly under the envious eyes of the villagers.

The wall of their courtyard was as high as Ouyang Qing's courtyard, so once the gate was closed, it blocked the villagers' view.

The next steps were to boil water and sharpen knives, all in a smooth flow. The men's skills were average, and they had a lot to deal with.

Gu Yueze took the initiative to suggest that Fan Xiangbing ask his mother to come over to help with the cooking, and then he could get more meat as a reward.

Fan Xiangbing went there without hesitation, because he knew that even if his mother didn't come to help, his brothers would give his family more meat, not less.

As expected, when Qiao Hongmei heard that help was needed, she immediately dropped the work in her hands and followed her eldest son over.

When Ye Lihao dug the last ginseng root, he felt sweat on his back. Looking at the plump white ginseng in his hand,

He felt relieved that he had finally dug it out. Although it was difficult, seeing a complete ginseng plant, his feelings at the moment were indescribable.

Although he had little experience, he knew that the ginseng should be more than a hundred years old, which meant that the medicinal field must have existed for a long time.

The person who discovered the cave probably lived in the cave for this reason. Now it is not difficult to explain why the person concealed the entrance to the cave.

After all, he didn't want to be discovered by others easily because he could enjoy so much ginseng alone. This was the first ginseng he dug up by himself.

Just looking at it was enough to make him happy. As for the specific year, he didn't dare to speculate. He had to wait until the evening to show it to his grandfather before making a decision.

"Brother Ouyang, this is also the first time I have dug ginseng. It must be of a high age. But I have to wait until tonight to give it to Grandpa to have a look.

Three sisters~ Such a good thing is hard to come by, it can be said that it is priceless, you just wait to collect the money! I can guarantee you now,

These are all wild. Please wait a moment while I dig another Polygonum multiflorum. We will go back first and come back tomorrow after the results are out. "

Everyone in the group was extremely excited when they heard his words, especially Ouyang Qing. Although she had so many precious medicinal herbs in her space,

But it was not convenient to bring them out in the open. For the safety of herself and her family, she did not dare to take the risk. After all, they were not small things.

If she really met someone who was very picky and insisted on investigating further, then her secret would be exposed. Now there were so many ginsengs here.

When they are dug out, I can find an excuse to buy a few more to cover up for the future. Ouyang Yan found a piece of soft cloth,

They wrapped up the ginseng and placed it among the medicinal herbs they had collected. When they came out, Ouyang Bai and the others cleared away the traces in front of the cave entrance.

The group then went down the mountain happily. Of course, even the traces left on the path were hidden by Ouyang Bai and the others.
