Chuyi also took a wooden stick and cleared the way ahead, clearing away the weeds and thorns around. "Don't be afraid, my lady. Chuyi will protect you."

Wen Qingcheng smiled like an auntie: "Thank you, Chuyi."

In fact, Wen Qingcheng was very strong in her previous life. She had always protected herself both physically and mentally. Now that someone said he would protect her, she couldn't help but feel a sweet feeling in her heart.

Chuyi showed two rows of white teeth. Although his wife's voice sounded hoarse and low now, she could talk to him, and he was happy just thinking about it.

The two walked into the mountain, one in front and one behind. They didn't talk much on the way, only the sound of their breathing and footsteps could be heard. After arriving in the deep mountains, there were pine and cypress trees everywhere, lush and green, covering the sky and the sun, and the grass on the ground was as tall as a person.

"My lady, there is no way."

Wen Qingcheng looked around and found no valuable medicinal herbs along the way, just dandelions, plantain and the like. It would be good to pick some mountain products such as fungus even if there were no rare medicinal herbs in such a big mountain.

If they were to turn back now, Wen Qingcheng would be unwilling to do so. "There is no road in the world, but when more people walk, a road will appear. Let's keep walking." Wen Qingcheng said in a hoarse voice.

Wen Qingcheng was not blindly taking Chuyi on an adventure. In the original owner's memory, there were no large wild animals on this mountain, but there were snakes. They had been prepared for this and had sprinkled sulfur powder on their bodies before setting off. The snakes hiding in the bushes had no time to hide when they saw them.

Chuyi has always been a womanizer. He would do whatever his wife told him to do. Wen Qingcheng's voice was low and hoarse now, and she didn't speak very clearly. He didn't understand what she said before. He just heard his wife say to keep going, so Chuyi followed her and continued to walk into the mountains.

Wen Qingcheng searched everywhere as she walked. This was her first time in the mountains and she didn't have a compass, so it would be easy for her to get lost. So she made marks and searched along the way.

Finally, her hard work paid off and she found a large patch of ginseng on the sunny slope of a mountain, including a six-leaf ginseng.

The number of ginseng leaves is often expressed in terms of "pin", "pi", etc. Ginseng with six leaves is very rare.

"Chuyi, I found ginseng." Wen Qingcheng happily called Chuyi.

This ginseng grows quietly in this deep mountain forest, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and has a powerful nourishing effect. Other ginsengs are not as rare as this one, so Wen Qingcheng only took this one.

She wanted to keep the other ginseng here first. Even if she picked it now, she wouldn't be able to sell it for much money.

She took out spiritual spring water from the space and watered each plant a little bit. She went up the mountain every once in a while. With the watering of the spiritual spring, ten days would be equivalent to a year, and soon it would grow into a high-value rare ginseng.

"I want to drink water, too." Chuyi had sweat on his forehead and his lips were a little chapped. Seeing Wen Qingcheng watering the grass, he felt even more thirsty.

Wen Qingcheng picked a large leaf and rolled it up, then took some water from the spiritual spring in the space, "Here, be careful not to spill it."

"Madam, drink first." Chuyi pursed his dry lips, resisting the urge to drink and letting Wen Qingcheng drink first.

"Okay." Wen Qingcheng took a sip, then turned around to take out some water from the space and handed it to Chuyi.

Chuyi took the water and took a big gulp. He felt that this water was different from the well water he usually drank. This water was clear and sweet, and it was especially thirst-quenching. After one sip, he felt that all his internal organs were moisturized.

"So sweet, where is the water?" Chuyi walked around Wen Qingcheng but couldn't find the water.

"This is the dew I collected, and that's all. Just think it tastes good, and don't tell anyone when you go back, not even Zicheng. This is just a little secret between the two of us, okay?" Wen Qingcheng spoke each word with difficulty.

Wen Qingcheng was afraid that he would go back and show off to Zicheng. Zicheng would also have to drink this kind of water by then, and it would be difficult to explain if he was asked about it. Others were not as easy to fool as Chuyi.

Chuyi listened to Wen Qingcheng's words patiently and nodded heavily.

The two of them sat under the shade of the tree and rested for a while. Wen Qingcheng picked two common wild ginsengs as thick as thumbs, intending to take them back to Ye Xiuying to nourish her body.

As for the six-leaf rare ginseng, Wen Qingcheng did not plan to keep it for her own use. If she sold it, she could get a lot of money, and then she would have enough money to buy herbs for Ye Xiuying to treat her tumor. For patients in the advanced stage like Ye Xiuying, long-term conditioning with decoctions is still needed.

She took out a handkerchief from her bosom, wrapped up the ginseng, and went down the mountain with Chuyi. As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down. Wen Qingcheng felt that her legs were shaking when she went down the mountain. It seems that the physical fitness of this 16-year-old girl is still not good enough.

At this time, Chuyi was walking very fast. He would turn back after walking a few steps to wait for Wen Qingcheng. He felt that Wen Qingcheng was too slow, so he squatted down and carried her on his back.

Wen Qingcheng felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to tire Chuyi out, but seeing that it was getting late, Ye Xiuying would definitely be worried if she went back late, so she didn't insist any more and lay on Chuyi's back, carrying her down the mountain, and only let him put her down when they reached the village.

Wen Qingcheng put the ginseng in her arms and went straight into the house when she got home. Ye Xiuying was lying on the bed, looking good. Seeing Wen Qingcheng and the others come back, she was slightly relieved.

"I'm back. Are you thirsty? I have some warm water on the table."

Wen Qingcheng shook her head, and Chuyi spoke first: "I drank it. I drank it on the mountain."

"The water on the mountain is not clean. It has to be boiled before you can drink it. Be careful not to get a stomach upset." Ye Xiuying complained that the two were not careful enough.

Chuyi stood there stiffly, almost blurting out the fact that they drank sweet water, but he managed to hold it back, freezing there with his mouth tightly shut.

Wen Qingcheng was afraid that he would talk too much, so she quickly changed the subject. "Ginseng." She took the ginseng out of her arms, opened the silk cloth and showed it to Ye Xiuying.

"Oh, it really is ginseng! You found such a rare thing." Ye Xiuying lowered her voice subconsciously.

"There is still a large area of ​​it in the mountains. It needs to be nurtured for a while. It's not worth much if we pick it and sell it now." Wen Qingcheng said in a hoarse voice close to Ye Xiuying's ear.

“What if someone else picks it?” Ye Xiuying knew that ginseng was a good thing. It could be sold for a lot of money in a clinic or drug store. There was also a large area of ​​it on the mountain. It was like discovering a treasure, and she was a little worried that it would be discovered.

Wen Qingcheng waved her hand, signaling not to worry. "That place is rarely visited by people. Even if someone goes there, people who don't know about medicinal herbs won't be able to recognize ginseng plants." Wen Qingcheng spoke with difficulty.

"I didn't expect my daughter to know about medicinal herbs. I didn't know you had this ability." Ye Xiuying looked at Wen Qingcheng in surprise. Didn't her own daughter know? She had never studied medicine and had never been exposed to pharmacy.
