Chapter 6 Ginseng

Yunzhu knew that what she said was very unrealistic in the eyes of others, after all, she was only an eight-year-old child, life was not a playhouse, she could play with mud and water, it needed firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and she needed to be careful about her budget.

Not to mention anything else, even if there is really a grass hut in the village that no one else wants to live in, it is not so easy to live in it, and it is about to reach the rainy season, and the grass hut in Grandpa's house still can't stop the rain, let alone the kind that no one lives in the village and no one wants.

Moreover, if you want to live, you must always have a blanket and food...... But that kind of thatched hut, let alone these, may not even have a kang, will the mother and daughter live on the ground at that time?

Sure enough, after listening to Yun Zhu's words, Ning Yi and Liu both looked disapproving, and before the two could speak, a light cough came from outside the house, and Old Man Yun walked in from outside the house.

"Don't think about it, let's not talk about how you two will live when you go out, even if it is for the sake of the reputation of the family, you can't let your two move out."

"Daddy." Liu hurriedly stood up and greeted Old Man Yun, Old Man Yun nodded, and asked Liu to go to the stove room to cook, after all, Ning Yi is here, and he always has to thank others for saving his life.

In response, Liu hurriedly walked out of the house and walked towards the front yard, Yunzhu was not worried about his mother, so he didn't go to help.

"Doctor Ning, I've worked hard for you, Yun Niang is okay, right?" After all, it was his own daughter, Old Man Yun glanced at the kang, and then asked Ning Yi.

"Uncle Yun, don't worry, Yun Niang is fine, it's just that she is weak, so after such a toss, she has to make up for it." As soon as he saw Old Man Yun, Ning Yi stood up from the stool and replied.

"Thank you for saving Yun Niang, just stay at home and eat a bite at night before leaving?" Ning Yi is the only doctor in the village, and the people in the village are usually very polite to him, and Old Man Yun is no exception, not to mention that they also saved their daughter's name.

"It's my duty to treat the sick and save people, Uncle Yun doesn't have to be too polite, and it's really not easy for Yun Niang to take a child." Glancing at the kang, Ning Yi picked up the medicine box, "I'll go back first, Ning Lin is still waiting for me to eat at home, Uncle Yun will have time to sit with me another day, and we will have a few drinks." ”

Seeing that Ning Yi was leaving, Old Man Yun naturally kept him, but Ning Yi insisted, so he had no choice but to give up. Seeing that Ning Yi was leaving, Yunzhu quickly got up and sent Ning Yi out of the door.

Seeing Ning Yi leave, Yun Zhu looked to the side, and Old Man Yun's gaze was falling on her with a touch of scrutiny.

If it was someone else in the family, seeing Old Man Yun staring at him like this, he was afraid that he would have avoided it a long time ago, but Yun Zhu looked directly at him without a trace of dodge.

"You are very similar to your mother," a smile appeared on Old Man Yun's face after a long time, "I know you may be resentful of me in your heart, but with such a large family, I always have my thoughts." ”

Turning around and walking towards the backyard, Yun Zhu hurriedly followed, she knew in her heart that if she wanted to live in this family, she had to please Old Man Yun, "I don't hate you, you are my elder and my mother's father." ”

"That's what you said, little girl, I eat more salt than you eat rice, don't you want to hide it from me, you say I'm an elder, then your second aunt is also an elder, why do you dare to scare her with a knife?" Old Man Yun smiled and spoke, not as if he didn't blame Yun Zhu.

"Everyone has a bottom line, and my mother is my bottom line." Yun Zhu looked at the ground, crushed the pebbles on the ground with her toes, and said in a firm tone, "No matter who it is, as long as it hurts my mother, I will fight with him!" ”

"Your mother is blessed to have a child like you." Stretched out his hand and touched Yunzhu's head, "Don't think about moving out, I'll ask your uncle and third uncle to help you clean up the thatched house, the rainy season is coming." ”

After the old man Yun finished speaking, he left the grass house, Yun Zhu looked at his back and wanted to speak, but finally swallowed the words.

Turning back to the house, Yun Zhu stayed by Yun Shi's side, waiting for her to wake up.

When Yun woke up, it was already the next morning, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, and under Yun Zhu's persuasion, Yun finally dispelled the desire to die.

A few days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the house where Yunzhu's mother and daughter live has been reinforced, and there is no need to worry about the house leaking during the rainy season, perhaps because of what Old Man Yun said, so Yunzhu was not embarrassed again.

Carrying the basket on her back, Yunzhu went up the mountain again, she has been accompanying the Yun family at home for the past few days, and she has not had a chance to thank Ning Yi, now that the Yun family is much better, Yunzhu plans to go up the mountain to find some wild eggs, and then pick some three-branch nine-leaf clover to send, as her own thank you.

Walking on the mountain road, Yunzhu remembered the person he saved before, he had been with his mother for the past few days, and he almost forgot about it, and he didn't know if that person had been rescued?

Thinking like this, Yunzhu deliberately went around to the place where she had saved people before, and when she saw that there was no one on the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the person had been rescued.

Thinking of the pheasants and wild eggs she had seen here before, Yun Zhu simply circled around the area, and to her surprise, she actually came across two more wild eggs, adding up to twelve.

Carefully put away the wild eggs, Yunzhu's eyes looked around, and when his gaze fell somewhere, Yunzhu's eyes suddenly glared at the boss, and his face also showed surprise.

"Mallet!" With a shout, Yun Zhu rummaged through her body, and finally found a small piece of red rope, she quickly walked to the plant not far away, and tied the red rope to the root of the plant.

The plant in front of you has an erect, cylindrical, unbranched rhizome, and only one leaf at the top of the rhizome, but if you count it carefully, there are five whorls of compound leaves, which is called 'five leaves', which means that this ginseng is at least six years old.

The old people say that when they encounter ginseng, they can't say ginseng, they have to shout a mallet, and they can't dig it directly, but they have to tie it with a red rope, which makes ginseng 'can't run'.

Carefully digging the soil around the ginseng with his hands, Yunzhu didn't even dare to blink his eyes, for fear that he would accidentally destroy the rhizome of the ginseng.

It took more than half an hour for Yunzhu to dig out the ginseng, and to her surprise, the ginseng dug up was not small, because of her carefulness, the roots were very complete.

took out the handkerchief from his arms, carefully wrapped the ginseng, and put it in his arms, Yunzhu's eyes searched around, wanting to find a few more, so that he and his mother would have money in their hands.

To Yunzhu's surprise, two more were found around, Yunzhu didn't care about the pain in his hands, and dug out the two ginsengs, although they were not as big as before, but they were much better than nothing.

With ginseng, Yunzhu didn't care about anything else, she packed up her things and headed down the mountain in a good mood.

"Uncle Ning is good, Brother Ning Lin is good!" After going down the mountain, Yunzhu went directly to Ning's house, and the father and son of the Ning family were sorting out the medicine cabinet in the house, and when they saw Yunzhu coming, they hurriedly put down the live entertainment in their hands.

"Uncle Ning, this is three nine-leaf clovers, I specially picked them for you, this is a wild egg, I picked a total of twelve, half of us." Piling things in front of Ning Yi, Yun Zhu had joy on his face, "Uncle Ning, I found something good!" ”

"What's good, take it out and take a look?" Seeing that Yunzhu was so happy, Ning Lin asked curiously. Yunzhu didn't sell Guan Zi either, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and carefully presented the ginseng wrapped in the handkerchief in front of the eyes of the Ning family's father and son.

"Oops! Ginseng! That's good stuff! Ning Yi carefully took the ginseng from Yunzhu's hand and looked at it carefully, "Girl, good luck!" It's a blessing for others to be able to go up the mountain and touch one, but you can get three, and if you sell it, it's worth a lot of silver! ”

"Really?" As soon as she heard that there was a lot of silver, Yunzhu's eyes lit up, and what she lacked most now was silver.

"No, it's a pity, I can only take one here, if you can trust me, I'll go to town tomorrow and help you sell the other two." Nodding, Ning Yi picked out the one in the middle that was of moderate size, "I took this one, look at the quality and intact level, how can it be worth sixteen taels of silver." The remaining two, the largest one, are estimated to be sold for thirty taels, and the smaller ones are also thirteen or fourteen taels. ”

"So much?" Yun Zhu's eyes widened and he looked at the ginseng in Ning Yi's hand, "Uncle Ning, can I discuss something with you?" ”

"You say." Putting the ginseng on the table, Ning Yi poured a glass of water for Yunzhu and handed it to her, "Drink saliva first to moisten your throat." ”

Taking the water, Yunzhu took a sip, then held the cup in his hand, and said with some anxiety, "You also know the situation in my family, if the ginseng is really sold for so much money, I am afraid that it will be remembered, in this village, I trust you the most, if it is sold for money, can you help me keep it first, and then take it out from you when my money is enough to build a house." ”

After listening to Yunzhu, Ning Yi frowned, "Won't you discuss this matter with your mother?" ”

"There's no need to discuss, my mother's son is not good, I don't want her to worry about it, not to mention that it's good to surprise her when the time comes?" Thinking that he would be able to have his own house in the future, Yunzhu's face showed a wistful smile.

"Since you believe in me so much, I promise you." Looking at the smile on Yunzhu's face, Ning Yi nodded and agreed to the matter, "I'm going to the town tomorrow, and by the way, I will sell the ginseng for you, do you want to follow me to the town to have a look?" ”

"Is that okay?" Looking at Ning Yi in surprise, Yunzhu's eyes were full of hope, it had been almost a month since he came here, and he hadn't been to the town yet!

"Of course, you can just come to the house tomorrow morning." Seeing that Yunzhu could be so happy because of such a trivial matter, Ning Yi's heart was a little unspeakably sour.

"Hmm." Nodding hurriedly, Yunzhu stood up and pushed the wild egg and the three-branch nine-leaf clover towards Ning Yi's side, "This Uncle Ning must accept it, I'll come back tomorrow morning!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Ning Yi to speak, he picked up the basket and ran out of the door, Ning Yi saw her like this, shook his head helplessly, and asked Ning Lin to put things away.

In the future, if you can help her, you can help as much as possible!
