Chapter 7

Su Wan watched Gu Yuan knock on the trunk of the tree, and then put his ear to the trunk and listened carefully,

While he wasn't looking, she walked out in the opposite direction of his.

After walking out for a distance, not to mention wild vegetables, I didn't even see a little green grass, and the ground was still poured, obviously someone had dug out the grass roots and ate them.

Su Wan could only sigh silently in her heart, in the face of such a natural disaster, or in this ancient time when science and technology were backward, manpower really seemed insignificant.

Su Wan took two more steps forward, and a dried potato seedling that had been pulled out appeared in front of her.

She picked up a potato seedling and pinched it, which dried so much that it was directly broken into powder.

Su Wan looked back in Gu Yuan's direction, she could see Gu Yuan's back vaguely, but Gu Yuan didn't look at her.

She hurriedly got a basket of potatoes out of the space, threw them directly into the holes that had been dug out of the ground, and quickly got a little dirt next to it.

The weather was so hot that the soil had been turned white, and even the soil she had turned out could not show any traces of moisture.

After making sure that there was no flaw, Su Wan deliberately dug out a potato with a branch and picked it up in the basket, then ran back to find Gu Yuan excitedly, "Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan, there are potatoes over there!"

Gu Yuangang looked at a piece of wood, looked up and saw Su Wan's little face that was red and fluttering because he didn't know whether it was because he was excited or because it was too hot, and there was a soft place in his heart that moved slightly unconsciously.

"Where?"

"Over there, I'll take you over!" Su Wan said, naturally taking Gu Yuan's hand.

Gu Yuan subconsciously glanced at the thin little hand that was grabbing him, his heart softened a little, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a shallow arc that even he didn't notice.

Su Wan led Gu Yuan to the place where the dried potato seedlings were, "This is it." ”

Gu Yuan's gaze swept over the potato seedlings, these potato seedlings were obviously pulled out by someone, the seedlings were pulled out, and the potatoes below must have also been turned clean.

He withdrew his gaze, his deep gaze swept over Su Wan, who was excitedly digging potatoes, and squatted down to help.

At this time, Su Wan took the time to sneak a glance at Gu Yuan, and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Yuan digging out the potatoes from the ground one by one with her usual expression.

Her acting skills just now were okay, and Gu Yuan should not be suspicious.

Soon, the two of them dug out a basket full of potatoes, Su Wan silently remembered the number of potatoes when she just buried the potatoes, and now she and Gu Yuan are digging together, she is also silently counting in her heart.

It wasn't until she had dug up the last potato and was about to call it a day when she suddenly realized that something was wrong with the roots of the plant next to the new soil she had just dug up.

Su Wan subconsciously put the basket aside, and lay on the ground to check the little plant whiskers exposed in the soil.

Gu Yuan noticed her movements and walked to her side, "What's wrong?"

Su Wan was a little excited, subconsciously grabbed his ankle, looked up at him with a small face and said, "This seems to be ginseng beard, did we have ginseng here before?"

"I used to hear that some people had brought out wild ginseng in the mountains, but it was only found by medicine farmers who went deep into the mountains. We're here in the shallow mountains......"

Before Gu Yuan's words were finished, Su Wan had already whispered and excitedly said to him: "You go and help me find two sturdy sticks, I'll dig them out and take a look." ”

Gu Yuan glanced at Su Wan's little face that was flushed with excitement, this little girl aroused him, and it was quite smooth.

He got up and went to find a suitable branch, because he was worried that the rough branch would prick Su Wan's hand, and he also used the sickle he carried with him to smooth the branch first, and then handed it to Su Wan.

Su Wan took the small branch and began to pick the soil a little bit, wild ginseng is the most important thing about the quality, if the beard is broken, it will affect the quality, but it will greatly affect the price.

Gu Yuan watched Su Wan's cautious movements seriously, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "I'll come." ”

Su Wan looked up at Gu Yuan's expressionless face, and blinked a pair of deer eyes in surprise, "Will you?"

"I didn't before, but I saw you dig it just now, and you should be. Gu Yuan replied truthfully.

Although Su Wan was a little worried, she was actually quite tired from squatting and picking soil all the time, so she hesitated for a moment and handed the smoothed twig in her hand to Gu Yuan, "Be careful, but don't break your beard,"

"Hmm. Gu Yuan replied lightly, and his hand had already begun to move.

Su Wan watched his movements, from the beginning of the nervousness to the heart of the throat, but later completely relieved, Gu Yuan's learning ability is really awesome, just just now I saw her planing a little bit, and she has completely mastered the essentials of lifting wild ginseng.

Su Wan rested for a while, and he also went to find a branch to help, and when the two were working hard, they were very close to each other, almost breathing each other.

Su Wan was immersed in the joy of discovering wild ginseng and didn't notice it, but Gu Yuan's ears turned red unconsciously.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set that the two of them lifted the wild ginseng out completely.

Su Wan looked at the ginseng and a pair of deer's eyes seemed to be crushed with starlight, shining, "Wow, it's the first time I've seen such a big wild ginseng, I'm afraid it will take a hundred years!"

Gu Yuan looked at the smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously hooked up a little arc.

In the next moment, Su Wan hurriedly poured out all the potatoes in the basket like a thief, carefully put the ginseng at the bottom, carefully pressed the potatoes on it, and put the rag covering the basket on the top of the potatoes.

Only then did he look at Gu Yuan happily, "Let's go, let's go home." ”

As soon as the two of them walked to the gate, they heard Wan's dissatisfied voice coming from inside, "Mother, what wild vegetables can the two of them find for the fourth brother and Su Wan, eighty percent of them are playing outside and forgot to come back."

When will we wait for them to come back and start the meal?

Chen, who was feeding the chickens in the yard, only glanced at Wan, turned around and went into the stove room.

Wan Shi has always been afraid of his mother-in-law, so his loud voice instantly lowered, and he muttered in a low voice: "It's okay to raise two people at home to eat idle meals, and everyone has to wait for them to come back together before they can start eating."

Mother's heart is really biased!"

Su Wan and Gu Yuan heard Wan's words outside the courtyard gate, and pushed the door in, "Mother, we're back." ”

Wan Shi obviously doesn't have a long memory, and as soon as he saw Su Wan, he immediately raised his feathers like an old hen who was about to fight, "Yo, the two Bodhisattvas we raised in our family can be regarded as back, and this house can be regarded as a meal." ”

Wan Shi said, glanced at the basket in Gu Yuan's hand, and said mockingly: "These people know that they are embarrassed to eat idle food, and they still pull a basket of dirt outside and come back?"
