Chapter 98: The Elves of the Mountain
Qin Jiashu's expression became tense for a moment.
The hand hanging at his side was also clenched into a fist.
His thin lips pursed into a line, not daring to look back at her.
At this moment, his dark hiding was in stark contrast to her bright hall.
But she was still saying, "To tell you the truth, I have a book that is exactly like yours!" By the way, did you buy your book in town too? ”
How to answer this question, Qin Jiashu doesn't know.
Fortunately, at this time, Jonan returned.
Qiao Nan carried the fruit in his arms and walked staggeringly, he quickly walked up to meet it and helped Qiao Nan take a part of the fruit.
"Sister, try it." Jonan stepped forward happily.
He wiped and wiped the hem of his garment before handing the fruit to Josie.
Josie didn't notice that Qin Jiashu was wrong, just that he didn't want to share it.
It can be said that she has become accustomed to his non-answering.
If he could speak well, and suddenly became very talkative, she would find it strange.
After tasting the fruit, Josie was surprised: "It's really sweet!" ”
Qiao Nan wiped it casually and took a bite of himself: "It's really sweet!" ”
He turned around and asked Qin Jiashu: "Brother Jiashu, how do you know that this fruit is sweet, have you ever eaten it?" ”
"Hmm." Qin Jiashu's eyes softened, "I have basically eaten all the fruits on this mountain." ”
The people in the village didn't like him, and his range of activities from childhood to adulthood basically revolved around the mountain.
On this mountain, where there is something, no one knows better than him.
"You're amazing." Jonan admired from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Jiashu was a little embarrassed: "What's so powerful about this." ”
Qiao Xi watched Qin Jiashu and Qiao Nan stand together and talk, and the corners of her mouth curled unconsciously.
Perhaps, a person like Qin Jiashu, who is cold on the outside but enthusiastic on the inside, is suitable to be friends with a simple person like Qiao Nan.
After eating the fruit, the three of them worked hard and passed through the rugged mountain road, and finally came to the place where the astragalus grows.
It is a gentle slope of the mountains, and as far as the eye can see, it is overgrown with wild astragalus.
Josie was shocked by the sight before her, and her mouth closed for a long time.
Qin Jiashu was very satisfied with Josie's reaction, she was happy, his efforts were not in vain.
I was happy in my heart, but I still said quietly on my face: "These astragalus membranaceus, which have been growing for at least several years, have not been touched yet, and they are the best astragalus in this mountain." ”
"It's so rare." Josie thought of the winding road she had just walked, and couldn't help but look towards Qin Jiashu: "This look, no one came, how did you find here?" ”
Qin Jiashu rarely sold a pass: "Guess? ”
"I guess......" Josie shook her head, "I don't know." ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Qin Jiashu's mouth: "It was found by the Heavenly Wolf." ”
He took the astragalus and gave it to the wolf, and then took the wolf up the mountain, and the wolf found several places along the way, and this one was the best.
Josie also laughed: "It's still a wolf, I'll bring him big bones to eat when I go back." ”
August is the hottest day, but it's cool to stand on a slope covered with astragalus.
Josie took out the shovel, started at the very edge, crouched down and began to dig.
She picked a smaller one, which was easier to dig up, but even if it was small, half a meter long downward, it was still difficult.
Qin Jiashu and Qiao Nan wanted to help, but they were stopped by Josie.
"I'll do it myself, you won't dig it."
Qiao Nan felt sorry for her sister's hard work: "Sister, how to dig you to teach me, I can learn!" ”
"It's not...... Wait, I'll tell you......"
Josie didn't speak, Jonan didn't move even if she was in a hurry, but a pair of eyes stared at Josie all the time.
Josie dug for a while, sweating down, and she exhaled slowly as she wiped her sweat.
Looking at the slope of the astragalus hill the size of an acre of land, she became melancholy.
Originally, her plan was that after finding the astragalus, she would dig it by herself, and use her special skills to dig it every day or once a week to make money.
But now there is such a large area in front of her, even if she comes to dig every day, even if she has no skills, she can't finish digging!
Digging up a plant is so hard that her skills can't be used at all!
"Sister, just teach me, if you dig any more, your hands will be blistered." Qiao Nan looked at Josie sweating tiredly, and her eyes were red.
It's all because he's too stupid to make his sister work so hard!
Qin Jiashu was also puzzled: "Why don't you let us dig it?" ”
"Forget it." Josie loses to reality: "You guys dig together, too." ”
She digs alone, and she doesn't know how many plants she can dig until it gets dark.
However, it can still be regulated.
Josie divided the area, and the small piece she dug didn't let Qin Jiashu and Qiao Nan get involved, so she asked the two of them to dig next to it.
Taking advantage of Qin Jiashu and Qiao Nan's inattention, she also made a mark on the place she dug.
The three of them acted together, blowing the cool breeze in the mountains, and they were in full swing.
During this period, Qin Jiashu was worried about Josie and looked in Josie's direction many times, fearing that Josie would accidentally shovel his hand or faint from exhaustion.
But to his surprise, although Josie moved slowly and had little strength, she never shouted tired.
She puffed out her delicate little face and did it very seriously.
The sunlight hit her fair skin, as if her whole person was transparent, and the blue veins under her skin could be clearly seen.
She brushed back her long hair that had fallen out, and the sunlight on the top of her hair became a circle of light.
Inexplicably, his heart moved again.
If there were elves on the mountain, it would probably be like this, his beating heart couldn't help but think.
It wasn't until the sun moved westward that Qin Jiashu reminded the three of them to stop.
"It's time to go down the mountain, it's any later, the mountain won't be safe."
Josie wiped the fine sweat from her face, looked at the astragalus piled up on the ground, and took a long breath.
After a few hours of struggle, the results were impressive.
She dug three, Qiao Nan dug five, and Qin Jiashu was the fastest, digging seven.
Each one is half a meter to a meter long and weighs considerably.
"Ten yuan a catty, these can have a lot of money!" Josie was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut.
Qiao Nan was shocked: "Sister, what did you say, what is ten pounds and ten yuan?" ”
"Just these astragalus, the health center buys it, ten yuan a catty." Josie laughed at Qiao Nan: "You don't know anything, just dig with me?" ”
Qiao Nan scratched his head: "What my sister did, of course, makes sense, I don't need to know so much." ”
Qin Jiashu knew that astragalus was a Chinese medicinal material and could be sold for money, but he didn't expect to be able to sell so much.
After Qiao Xi teased Qiao Nan, she looked at Qin Jiashu: "If you can trust me, you will hand over these you dig to me to sell together, and I will give you the money from the sale when I turn around." ”
"Nothing to be trusted." Qin Jiashu hugged his arms.
It's okay to give it all to her.
Since Qin Jiashu nodded, there was no problem.
Josie took out the rope and tied up what Qin Jiashu had dug, and then tied up what he and Qiao Nan had dug up.
Then, stand up and pat the dirt on your hands.
"Let's go down the mountain!"
