I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

The families with less land in Taohua Village have almost finished harvesting their wheat.

The Shen family invited several villagers to help with the harvest, and the Shen family felt a little more relaxed. It was a good time to go visit the second sister-in-law.

The second son of the Shen family hadn't seen his wife and children for a few days, and he really missed them. "Okay, I'll go over there and take a look."

He was just about to go to the river to take a cold shower and change into clothes for visiting relatives when he found his sister holding onto the hem of his clothes.

"Second brother, I'll go with you to pick up Second Sister-in-law."

After lunch, the two siblings of the Shen family left Taohua Village together. They took the small path in the bamboo forest and left Taohua Village without being seen by anyone.

After Shen Yuan tidied up at home, he sneaked out when it was almost time.

By the creek, Gu Zhaoming was already waiting.

"Where is Sanniang?" Gu Zhaoming frowned when he saw Shen Yuan coming alone.

"I agreed to meet her at the mountain stream. Maybe she has already gone there!" Shen Yuan lied casually.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhaoming raised his leg and headed towards the mountain stream.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and saw Shen Yuan following him. He frowned but didn't say anything.

Shen Yuan followed behind him and asked innocently, "Brother Gu, do you know ginseng?"

"I've seen it in a book." Gu Zhaoming looked straight ahead.

Shen Yuan immediately looked annoyed when he saw this, and when he caught a glimpse of Liu acting furtively behind him, his voice became a little louder.

"Oh! It would be great if I were as knowledgeable as Brother Gu! Unlike me, I didn't recognize the treasure right in front of me and missed it."

Gu Zhaoming was only focused on the road beneath his feet, and obviously didn't take the treasure she mentioned seriously.

Just like she said herself, she is ignorant and treats anything that is slightly better as a treasure.

However, this does not mean that Gu Zhaoming is not curious about the treasure mentioned by Shen Yuan.

"What treasure is it?"

"Ginseng! Such a big ginseng! If I hadn't heard what Sixth Grandpa said about what ginseng looked like, I wouldn't have known what I had missed. I heard that ginseng is very valuable!"

Gu Zhaoming remained indifferent, but Liu behind him pricked up her ears.

There is a doctor in the village, and everyone knows that ginseng is valuable.

"Daqing Mountain is rich in resources, and it is not uncommon to have ginseng. Besides, the age of ginseng depends on its age. Only the older ones are valuable."

Shen Yuan agreed and said, "Brother Gu is right. I heard from Sixth Grandpa that to judge the approximate age of ginseng, just look at the leaves.

I didn’t know what ginseng was at that time, so I just focused on picking the red fruits on the top. However, I saw that the leaves looked like human hands, so I couldn’t help but count them. There were seven hands in total, and each branch had six leaves…”

"What?" Gu Zhaoming turned around and looked at Shen Yuan. "Are you telling the truth?"

Shen Yuan nodded, "Yes! I was wondering why there were only one bunch of red fruits with so many leaves."

If what Shen Yuan said is true, then the ginseng is at least hundreds of years old. How much would a ginseng that is hundreds of years old sell for?

Thinking of this, Gu Zhaoming's heart became hot.

When he saw a picture of ginseng in a book before, he thought how nice it would be if he could come across one!

"Do you remember where it is?"

Shen Yuan lowered his head in embarrassment. "I remember the general location. I plan to look for it today. If I find it and sell it for money, my parents will not marry me to an old widower."

Gu Zhaoming's expression darkened.

A ginseng that is over a hundred years old would cost a lot of money, maybe hundreds of taels. If...

He thought that after he broke off the engagement with Shen Sanniang, he would have better options, but he was now eating wild vegetables at home, and if he wanted to go to the town, he had to walk out, let alone meet a rich girl.

After eating wild vegetables for a few days, Gu Zhaoming said that he did not regret following the Shen family, but that was a lie.

When he was engaged to the Shen family, Shen Sanniang often secretly gave him money, and even food was often sent home by Lu.

If you cancel the engagement, all these benefits will be gone.

During this period, Liu cooked wild vegetables every day and her face turned green from eating so much.

He wanted to go to the town to copy books, but the little money he earned was not enough to support his studies.

He now just wants to seize every opportunity to get out of the current predicament.

But Gu Zhaoming also knew that Shen Yuan would never tell him the location of the ginseng, unless...

Unless, they are one.

Gu Zhaoming glanced at Shen Yuan's thin and yellow face, and immediately looked away.

He thought of Shen Rong.

Both of them were girls around fourteen or fifteen years old, one was a beautiful girl and the other was a malnourished bean sprout. Gu Zhaoming really couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Liu followed behind the two of them, and when she heard what Shen Yuan said, she was extremely excited.

These days, the food at home has made her realize the reality. Without money, she can't even fill her stomach, let alone support her son's education.

If the ginseng became hers, not only would it fill her stomach, but it would also provide for her son's education.

Liu secretly prayed that her son could ask Shen Yuan about the location of the ginseng.

Gu Zhaoming cleared his throat, "Ahem...how could your mother be so cruel to marry such a good girl like you to a widower."

Shen Yuan lowered his head and wiped his eyes with his hands. "Oh! It would be great if someone came to my house to propose marriage. In that case, I could take the ginseng to my husband's family. When the time comes, I can keep part of the money from the sale for family expenses and give part to my parents to repay my parents for raising me."

Gu Zhaoming paused for a moment, "Are you sure that's ginseng?"

Shen Yuan nodded, "I won't remember it wrongly. Didn't Sixth Grandpa pick a ginseng some time ago? The leaves look exactly the same, but one has more branches and leaves, and the other has fewer."

Gu Zhaoming nodded and said nothing more.

Shen Yuan temporarily achieved his goal and said nothing more. He followed Gu Zhaoming with a backpack on his back and came to the mountain stream.

Taohua Village has beautiful mountains and even better waters.

This is indeed true. As soon as I entered the mountain stream, the heat in my body was immediately swept away.

The air is moist and fresh, with a faint scent of grass and soil, which seems to be able to purify people's souls and make people forget the troubles of the world.

The spring water gushes out from the mountain stream like a moving piece of music, sometimes melodious, sometimes cheerful, and sometimes passionate.

The clear spring water flows into the pool, the water is deep and clear, like a sparkling mirror, dazzling in the sun.

Gu Zhaoming looked around but didn't see the person he wanted to see. "Why hasn't Sanniang come yet?"

"Maybe he's still behind!" Shen Yuan took out a bamboo water bottle from his backpack and went around to the place near the mountain stream.

"Brother Gu, let me get some water first. Please sit next to me and wait for a while!"

Shen Yuan was standing on a stone with a pool of water one person deep below her. She didn't seem to be worried at all that she would slip and fall.

Gu Zhaoming turned his back to Shen Yuan and looked at the road he came from.

"what!"

With a scream, Shen Yuan slipped and lost his balance, falling towards the shimmering surface of the lake like a butterfly out of control.

"Bang!" Her thin body drew a graceful arc in the air.

The moment she fell into the water, a splash of water appeared on the surface, like a blooming white lotus, and then quickly dissipated into the air.

Shen Rong seemed to be so frightened that she forgot to struggle and her body began to sink in the water.

Gu Zhaoming heard the noise and turned around, then he saw this scene.

Seeing that there was no end to Shen Garden in sight, he didn't think much and jumped into the pool to save people.
