Chapter 19: Guess why it is called ginseng
Xiao Li thought for a moment and told him the characteristics of ginseng in his memory, "To summarize, ginseng leaves have a distinct palmate compound leaf shape, with varying numbers of leaflets, but usually three to five, varying in shape and size, with the middle leaf being the largest.
The leaves have fine serrations on the edges, are dark green in color, thin in texture, and have a fragrant smell and a slightly bitter and sweet taste.
Do you see if it’s the same?”
Lu Yuan walked over to look at the ginseng he was talking about, half understanding and half doubtful, but couldn't see anything.
Seeing this, Xiao Li picked a ginseng leaf and gave it to him, "Want to take a bite and try it?"
"Is it poisonous?" Lu Yuan hesitated and didn't answer.
Hearing this, Xiao Li fell silent.
Was he silent?
Lu Yuan's eyes widened. "Is it really poisonous?"
"That's not the case, but..." Xiao Li laughed and shook his head, "Maybe it's just more nourishing. I don't know if your small body can replenish it."
Lu Yuan: “…” Who are you calling small?
Knowing it wasn't poisonous, he wasn't afraid anymore and took a big bite.
“…” I’m not afraid of not being able to receive nourishment due to my weakness.
However, what you fear will come true. Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Yuan started bleeding from the nose.
“…” He was right.
Lu Yuan stared at the blood dripping down the back of her hand, stunned for a moment, and two lines of clear tears slowly slid down her face. "I, am I poisoned? Wow, I'm still so young, I haven't married yet, I haven't given birth yet, and I haven't taken my little daddy away from the Lu family yet... Ugh!"
Xiao Li pinched his nose, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and rolled it up to block his nostrils.
"It's okay, I can't die."
"Really?" Lu Yuan was terrified and instinctively pulled his hand for comfort. "Are you really not lying to me?"
The boy's face was still dirty, and it was hard to see the handsome appearance underneath, but his eyes were so clear that they aroused desire.
"Yes, it's true." Xiao Li wiped his tears with his hands and comforted him softly, "These are ginseng leaves. They are too nutritious for you to bear. Wait until your body is healed and you can eat them again so that this won't happen again."
"Then...then you can have a bite too?" Lu Yuan put the bitten leaf next to his mouth, bit her lip slightly, and looked at him pitifully.
Xiao Li: "..." He was afraid that he couldn't make up for it, or that he would make up for it too much...
He glanced at the young man's dependence and trust in him, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he forced himself to lower his eyes.
He held the boy's wrist, then lowered his head and took a bite. Because he wasn't looking, his lips finally touched the boy's fingers with thin calluses.
Lu Yuan's fingers trembled slightly, and she quickly withdrew her hand, then stared at him curiously. But after waiting and waiting, he never had a nosebleed, and she couldn't help feeling indignant.
"Why didn't you have a nosebleed?"
"...Maybe the supplement was sent to somewhere else." Xiao Li took a long breath, feeling that he was full of energy but had nowhere to use it.
"Somewhere else?" Lu Yuan looked at him suspiciously. "Where did you fix it?"
Xiao Li: "..." What could he say? He couldn't just say that he filled his dick, right?
Although he is often shameless, he still needs it occasionally.
"Why aren't you talking?" Lu Yuan's brows gradually furrowed. "Are you lying to me?"
Xiao Li was silent. The young man was still chattering about to answer. He was already a little annoyed with anger. He made a "tsk" sound, pulled his hand with a sullen face, and looked at him dangerously.
"Do you really want to know that?"
The man's dark eyes reflected her stunned expression. Lu Yuan suddenly felt panic for no reason and subconsciously shook off his hand and stood up.
"I don't want to know now!"
"Really?" Xiao Li looked at him and licked his lips regretfully, "That's such a pity."
Although he was no longer touching her, Lu Yuan felt as if someone had rubbed her hard, and her whole body was burning hot.
The boy's earlobes and neck were so red that they were almost bleeding. It seemed that he was really shy.
Xiao Li couldn't help but chuckle, "Are you scared now? If you are, then don't keep asking questions. Sometimes knowing less isn't a bad thing."
Lu Yuan carried him on her back without saying a word, but he still heard the boy's dissatisfied muttering.
"It's not all your fault!"
“…” He really couldn’t shirk this.
After taking a break and suppressing the anger in his heart, Xiao Li began to dig ginseng.
Hearing the noise, Lu Yuan finally looked back and saw him starting to dig ginseng. She squatted beside him and watched curiously.
"Someone once dug up a twenty-year-old ginseng and sold it for fifteen taels of silver. How much do you think this ginseng can be sold for?"
Xiao Li glanced at him and asked, "Are you going to sell it?"
"Huh?" It took Lu Yuan a while to react, and she asked in disbelief, "You want me to sell it?"
"Whoever sees it gets a share. What's the matter? Little Fengzheng, do you want to keep it all for yourself?" Xiao Li raised his eyebrows and looked at him. He saw a handkerchief hanging under the nose of the young man. He looked dazed, and the smile in his eyes became even more intense.
"No, I didn't mean that!" Lu Yuan explained anxiously, "This is something you discovered and you dug it up, so it should belong to you alone."
Lu Yuan likes money, but he wouldn't go so far as to steal other people's things.
What is most abundant in the end times is all kinds of plunder.
There are all kinds of random things in Xiao Li's space, and various medicinal herbs are one of the biggest ones. He doesn't care about these things.
From the beginning to the end, he only wanted a small ginseng for himself and the remaining two for the young man. Unexpectedly, the young man never thought of sharing his things with him...
Being so naive and generous, he probably wouldn't survive even a single day in the apocalypse, let alone three days.
If Xiao Li met such a person in the end times, not only would he not even look at him, he would even watch him die at the hands of others or zombies.
Seeing him suddenly stop, Lu Yuan waved her hand in front of him, "Are you okay?"
"What can happen to me?" Xiao Li came back to his senses, lowered his head and continued to dig ginseng, not letting the young man see his cold look.
After staying in the apocalypse for a long time, where you spend your days fighting or killing zombies, it's normal to have some psychological problems.
He didn't know whether he had a mental illness or not, but he was very sure that he was a cold person, so cold that sometimes others would feel repulsed by him just by looking at his cold appearance.
More than ten years after the apocalypse, even though he was one of the commanders of the base, his popularity was average, otherwise his good second brother would not have been able to bribe so many high-level psychics to encircle and suppress him. Most of those people had grudges against him or disliked him.
He was very satisfied with this place, and the handsome boy was also very cute. He had no plans to spend the rest of his life with someone else for the time being, so he didn't want him to see his cold face.
For some reason, Lu Yuan suddenly felt that Xiao Li was so lonely and pitiful at this moment, and then...
"Ouch! It hurts..." The boy's voice trembled with pain.
Xiao Li suddenly let go, and there was a circle of obvious red marks on Lu Yuan's wrist.
Just now, the young man suddenly reached out to him, and he subconsciously grabbed that fragile hand and instinctively exerted force.
That was a habit developed in the early days of the end times.
A couple who were in love one moment could push each other out to die the next without batting an eyelid. Family members who once depended on each other could betray each other without a second thought. Teammates who once fought side by side could turn on each other at any moment.
If he had not been vigilant enough, he would have died in the apocalypse long ago.
Looking at the obvious red mark on the boy's wrist, Xiao Li apologized to him softly: "Sorry, I was too hard."
Lu Yuan curled her lips and snorted, "I thought my hand was going to break."
"No." Xiao Li took his hand and told him with certainty, "It won't break."
Of course Lu Yuan knew that her hand was not broken, it just hurt. She said with a mixture of mockery and envy, "You are really strong."
If I had this much strength, I could go to the dock and carry sandbags. I wonder how much money I could save!
Xiao Li thought he was praising himself and said, "Not bad."
The main reason why he is so strong now is because his body has been strengthened by supernatural powers. Otherwise, his original body would not have such great strength.
Lu Yuan had no contact with the original body before, so she believed whatever he said.
The young man pulled his hand back, hugged his wrist, and urged him, "Hurry up and dig. What if someone comes and sees us?"
This place is already deep in the mountains and is rarely visited by people. How could anyone come here?
But Xiao Li didn't say anything, just nodded and continued digging ginseng.
He had strong mental power, and with the help of his mental power, the ginseng roots were intact, not a single one was missing.
There were three ginseng plants, the largest one was about as wide as Xiao Li's palm, the smaller one was three fingers wide, and the smallest was two fingers wide. They were all over twenty years old.
This was Lu Yuan's first time seeing ginseng. She was holding the thickest root and exclaiming, "It really looks like a human!"
Hearing this, Xiao Li looked at him with a half-smile, "Guess why it's called ginseng?"
Lu Yuan: “…” It’s true.
