Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

Chapter 52 Digging Ginseng and Saving the Sun

As July approached, the weather was getting hotter. I came back from studying at Dr. Lin's house at noon. After lunch, it was too hot outside so I ran to my room to turn on the fan.

I lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep, so I went in to see how the medicinal herbs planted in the spiritual soil were growing. I picked three seedlings of Angelica sinensis, Polygonatum sibiricum and Dendrobium candidum on the mountain half a month ago, and have been raising them in the spiritual soil for half a month. The speed of the spiritual soil is three times that of the outside, and it only affects plants, not me. Of course, I am immune to it.

There are three Paris polyphyllae that have blossomed and produced seeds, four Bletilla striata that have blossomed, and one Ganoderma lucidum that has a lot of purple dust on it. Could these be seeds? Fortunately, my grandmother asked me to keep the Ganoderma lucidum in the locker to keep it fresh, otherwise I would not be able to plant it even if I had the spiritual soil this time.

I asked my master for ginseng seeds, but he didn't have any, and neither did the town. I guess the pharmacy in the county might have the seeds.

Thinking about the ginseng in the forest last year that I haven’t picked yet, I will try to go to the mountain tomorrow.

"Host, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

"Today you entered the spiritual soil again, and I just remembered to tell you that you can only stay in this spiritual soil space for half an hour. After the time is up, it will pop out. You can't store gold, silver, or jewelry. If you put living people or living things other than you in, the spiritual soil will automatically absorb them. Because you came out every time you went in for more than ten minutes, I forgot to remind you, so don't blame me."

"System, I don't blame you. You are still young, so it's okay if you forget. Just tell me what you think of next time."

The next morning, she went to her master and said she wanted to go up the mountain. She asked him if he wanted to go. The master said that there were still herbs at home and she would not go for the time being. Biyue went back at 11:30. The master said, "Yueyue, don't go up the mountain alone in the afternoon."

"Got it, Master. It's so hot this afternoon. I'll stay at home and won't run around."

He went back home to find his grandmother and told her that he wanted to go up the mountain to look for medicinal herbs in the afternoon. Seeing that her two sons were busy and had no time, his grandmother asked his grandfather to accompany him.

The grandfather and grandson were wearing coarse clothes. The grandfather carried a backpack, wore a straw hat and hiking shoes, and walked towards the mountain where ginseng was found last year. The sunlight was strong and they sweated as they moved. The two walked up the mountain sweating profusely. Biyue took out some ice water and handed it to grandfather. Once they entered the forest, they were sheltered by the trees and it became noticeably cooler.

Biyue quietly asked the system, "Where is the ginseng?"

"There are five trees on the cliff 100 meters ahead. You can keep two small ones and plant the big one in the spiritual soil."

"Ok."

There are also many trees and flowers in the woods. Bi Yue walked forward, collecting them all the way. After entering the woods, her grandfather followed closely behind his granddaughter.

On the way here, the granddaughter told him that they came here to dig ginseng. When they reached the edge of the cliff, there was a big rock next to a few trees. Biyue asked grandpa to sit down and rest. She ordered a special climbing rope and tools on the system, tied the rope to the big tree, asked grandpa to watch, tied the other end to herself, and began to slide down the cliff slowly. While sliding down, she asked the system: "There are no poisonous snakes around here, I am a little worried about grandpa staying up there alone. This cliff is more than ten meters down. If something happens, I won't be able to go up to save people in a short time."

"Currently detecting, there is no danger."

Grandpa said to his granddaughter: "Yueyue, slow down."

"It's okay, Grandpa. I'm small and don't weigh much."

Everything went smoothly and we arrived at the destination in about ten minutes. We started digging ginseng with a shovel. There were really five ginseng trees. When we dug the third one, we heard the howling of a large animal in the distance.

Bi Yue was startled and her hands moved quickly. She even dug up a few roots, but she didn't care and threw them into the locker and hurried up. Fortunately, she had taken some powerful pills and had great strength. She also practiced martial arts and had good physical fitness. She climbed up in less than ten minutes.

Grandpa heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his granddaughter coming up. He untied the rope, put it in the locker, and prepared to leave. From where the animal's cry came from, a wild beast approached from afar. Bi Yue hurriedly asked the system: "What's going on? What's running over here?"

"It's a white wolf. It seems to have been injured in a fight with a group of wild boars. It's bleeding a lot. It's about a hundred meters away from us."

"I've never seen a white wolf in my previous life. I'm a little curious and want to go take a look."

Biyue said to Grandpa, "There is a white wolf injured ahead. If we don't save it, it will die. I want to go and take a look."

Grandpa opened his eyes wide and said in horror: "It's a wolf. Even if it's injured, it's still a wild animal. It's very ferocious. Let's go home now."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. Everything will be fine."

Without listening to anything else his grandfather said, Chen Feng walked forward, fearfully following this bold and stubborn granddaughter.

There was a white wolf lying next to a big tree in front. It was not big, but bigger than the local dog in the village. It was panting with its eyes half closed, as if it was in great pain. Its white fur was stained with blood, and it looked badly injured. When it heard the sound, it tried to get up, but fell down again. Bi Yue walked over and said to the wolf, "Don't be afraid. I'm here to save you."

"You know the language of us beasts?"

Bi Yue did not answer. She took out a bottle of primary spiritual spring water and poured it into Brother Niu's basin. She supported the wolf's body so that its head could drink the water. After it drank 500 ml of spiritual spring water, she let it rest for a while.

When the grandfather saw his granddaughter's actions, he recalled that his wife once told him that his granddaughter might be able to communicate with animals. He didn't believe it at first, but now he knows that his granddaughter is a little fairy, so there is nothing she can't do.

After half an hour, the white wolf stood up and said to Bi Yue: "Thank you for saving my life. We wolves are very loyal. If you need my help in the future, I will do my best to help you."

Biyue translated what the wolf said to her grandfather.

"You're welcome. We are destined to be together, so today I have the chance to save you. My name is Chen Biyue. Are you okay?"

"My name is Xu Ri, I am the son of the White Wolf King, I have an older brother and an older sister."

"Xuri, you're okay now. Is it safe to go home alone?"

At this time, the howling of wolves was heard in the distance. The white wolf Xuri howled in the direction of the sound. The grandfather and grandson immediately covered their ears because the sound was so loud.

"My sister and father came to see me."

After a while, two white wolves came running over from a distance. Grandpa was a little nervous, and Biyue was busy comforting him.

Bi Yue understood what the little white wolf said to the two wolves. It meant that she had saved him, and that he could understand the language of the animals and could communicate normally.

The wolf king is very big, almost as big as an adult tiger, and he is very majestic. He is worthy of being the wolf king, and he is very domineering. His eldest sister is a female wolf, and she is about the same size as Xu Ri.

"Thank you for saving my child. I usually tell him not to go out alone, but I don't know why he ran away today and almost died."

The little female wolf also said: "Thank you for saving my brother. If it weren't for you, he might have died today. He wants to fight five wild boars alone before he reaches adulthood. Isn't this just asking for death?" After saying that, she ran away. Bi Yue thought that the wolf sister was angry. The wolf king knew what his daughter meant and said to Bi Yue: "Wait a minute, you two will give some gifts as a thank you."

Bi Yue felt that the wolf king's voice was very majestic, like the voice of a mature middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, while the wolf sister's voice was sweet and pleasant to the ear.

After a while, Sister Wolf dragged a big wild boar over and said to Bi Yue, "This is for you. We killed three wild boars that bullied my brother just now, and the others were injured and ran away."

Biyue saw that the wild boar weighed more than 400 kilograms.

"Can you, one old and one young, be dragged back? Do you need my help?"

"No, I can lift it. Let's go now. See you again if we're lucky!"

The wolf king and his two children escorted the grandparents out of the forest and went back deep into the woods.

Biyue dragged the wild boar and her grandfather home. Her grandfather was shocked to see that his granddaughter dragged the wild boar without any effort. His granddaughter's performance today made him both relieved and happy.
