Female Farming Pond Fish

Chapter 21 Back Mountain

As soon as the sun rose, Chi Xiaotong got up and started to get busy. Tian Yu thought she was packing up, so he didn't go out to disturb her.

Half an hour later, the steamed buns came out of the pot. It was not until Chi Xiaotong called him to eat that he realized that his wife had steamed a pot of steamed buns. Lunch was ready for him.

This time, Chi Xiaotong brought some steamed buns and headed straight to the back of the mountain.

I promised Tian Yu to go back before dark. If I want to go deeper, I can't delay. After walking for an hour and a half, the path in the mountain is almost invisible. It is enough to prove that few people come here.

Chi Xiaotong then slowed down. But it was already late autumn. Most of the vegetation had withered. All he could see was dead grass.

Chi Xiaotong picked up a branch and searched as she walked. After walking for half an hour, she still found nothing. Chi Xiaotong gritted her teeth and continued to walk inside.

I have never been this deep. There is no other way. I can't go back empty-handed. I have to give it a try.

After climbing up for a while, I was faced with a big downhill slope. I squinted my eyes and looked for a while. I felt that the leaves on the hillside looked familiar.

Carefully holding the grass, he moved it down little by little. The soil here was a bit loose. Chi Xiaotong pulled the grass out by the roots several times.

"Ah!" Chi Xiaotong lost her balance, and the handful of grass in her hand slid down with her. Her other hand grabbed at random, and finally grabbed a thick piece of grass to stop her from sliding down.

My sense of balance and stability is too poor. Fortunately, there are many unknown weeds here. Otherwise, I would have fallen again. Just now, when I pulled the grass, I seemed to have stretched my arm. It hurt so much.

I found a relatively flat place. Chi Xiaotong sat on the ground and rubbed his arm. I haven't gotten anything yet! I got hurt first.

Oh, it seems that my luck is not very good today. After a short rest, I took out the steamed buns from the backpack and started to eat. Eating something can calm my nerves.

While eating a steamed bun, I observed the environment I was in, which was still a desolate wilderness.

The weeds that she had just thrown aside caught her attention. This thing looked familiar, a bit like the ginseng she had seen on TV a few times.

He ate the bun in a few bites. He picked it up and looked at it carefully. Chi Xiaotong was not sure, as he had never seen real ginseng. This thing looked like ginseng.

After struggling for a long time, I carefully put it in the backpack. No matter whether it is or not, I will take it back first.

Chi Xiaotong wanted to look for it again. But her arm hurt, and she almost sprained her ankle when she stood up. Chi Xiaotong said, "What bad luck!" It's bad luck today, so she decided to go back.

Chi Xiaotong was a little frustrated. I came here for nothing. I fell down and my clothes were torn. They were already very torn, and now they are gone. I guess I can't wear them anymore. The only thing left at home is the one I wore when I got married. It's not easy to wear that one when I work! It's made of good material.

I also injured my arm. I picked up something I don't know if it's ginseng or not. It all depends on luck! If it's true, then I'll win big, but if it's not, then I'll just have bad luck.

When climbing up, he didn't dare to move an arm. He was very slow. But when he passed by the pile of weeds that looked familiar to him, Chi Xiaotong went around to take a look. After digging for a long time, it didn't seem to be it.

Tian Yu was restless all day, fearing that something might happen to Chi Xiaotong. He simply moved a stool and sat at the gate of the yard.

From a distance, Tian Yu saw a figure coming down the mountain. He stood up and ran out. After running a few dozen meters, he stopped and walked quickly.

Tian Yu remembered Chi Xiaotong's instructions and stopped abruptly. He couldn't let his wife worry.

As they got closer, Chi Xiaotong saw the little man moving towards her quickly. Her husband had come to pick her up!

After adjusting her mood, Chi Xiaotong smiled as she watched Tian Yu anxiously rushing towards her. It felt so good to have someone thinking of her and coming to pick her up!

"Wife! Did you fall? Are you hurt?" Seeing Chi Xiaotong's embarrassed look, Tian Yu circled around Chi Xiaotong anxiously. He wanted to check but didn't dare to reach out.

"It's okay, it's okay, I just fell down. My arm was stretched and my clothes were scratched!"

"Is your arm stretched? Is it serious? Let's go to Doctor Li's house to check it out!" Tian Yu was so anxious that his eyes turned red and tears kept flowing.

Chi Xiaotong quickly wiped his tears and comforted him: "It's okay, it's not serious."

"Let's go to Doctor Li's house!" Without even wiping away his tears, Tian Yu took Chi Xiaotong's uninjured hand and went to Li's house.

Chi Xiaotong did not resist. Her arm still hurt, so she decided to go see a doctor. She would feel relieved after seeing the doctor. She could also ask Doctor Li to help her see if the ginseng she brought back was ginseng.

Doctor Li's husband opened the door, Chi Xiaotong explained the situation, and then welcomed the two into the house. Not long after Li's husband entered the house, Doctor Li came out!

Seeing Chi Xiaotong's miserable appearance, they were all stunned for a moment. Chi Xiaotong really looked miserable at the moment, her clothes were torn, her hair was messy, and even her face was covered with dirt. She hadn't cleaned it up.

Chi Xiaotong smiled embarrassedly and explained: "I just came down the mountain and came here! I haven't had time to wash yet."

Doctor Li waved his hand, indicating that everything was fine. He checked Chi Xiaotong's arm. Chi Xiaotong almost lost control of her expression due to the pain.

"It's not a big problem! I'll get you some medicine for external application and internal administration. You still need to take care of yourself." Doctor Li said calmly.

"Thank you! Aunt Li, can you help me see what this is?" After thanking her, Chi Xiaotong took out the "ginseng" and showed it to Doctor Li.

"Hmm?" Doctor Li took the herb with mud on it and examined it carefully. After repeated confirmation, he said to Chi Xiaotong with certainty: "This is ginseng!"

"Really? That's great!" Chi Xiaotong was surprised.

"Really? It's quite old. Where did you dig it?"

"Hehe, the back mountain," Chi Xiaotong replied with a smile.

"You're so lucky! You can still dig it up at this time."

Chi Xiaotong: "It was definitely luck. I grabbed it subconsciously when I fell. I even pulled it out by the roots. It looks like it, but I'm not sure. That's why I asked you to give me some advice!"

"Well, I'll go get the medicine first!" After saying that, he returned the medicine to Chi Xiaotong and went to get it!

Today, Doctor Li personally brought out two doses of medicine and said to Chi Xiaotong, "This is for external application, apply wherever it hurts! This is for internal use, three times a day."

Chi Xiaotong took it and thanked him: "Thank you, thank you! I'll make a note of it! I'll give you the money after I sell the ginseng. By the way, will you accept it?"

Doctor Li smiled and said, "I can't afford it! We don't need it in this small village. Go sell it in town!"

"Okay, then how much do you think it can be sold for? I have an idea!" Chi Xiaotong asked. Don't get cheated by holding a good thing without knowing the market price.

"The stuff is good, but our place is not big. Even in town, the price is only a dozen taels." Doctor Li told the truth.

"Okay, thank you. Now I know what to do. I'll be ripped off. I'll go sell it soon and pay the full amount when I come back."

After saying goodbye to Dr. Li, the two went home.
