The three people were all preoccupied with their own affairs, and their minds were full of the wild ginseng. No one spoke on the way down the mountain, and no one dared to stop to rest. They hurried home.

It was not until the three of them entered the Lin family's yard and closed the gate that they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin's father and mother were all in the yard. They found the three of them looking a little strange.

Not to mention that the three of them returned home a little late today, and why did they look like this when they returned home, as if there was a man-eating beast chasing them.

Thinking of this, Lin's mother suddenly became anxious. Could it be that they really encountered some ferocious beast in the mountains?

Alas, this is what she is afraid of.

Except for Hunter Feng, no one dares to go into the mountains on weekdays. Their family really has no other choice.

Moreover, a few days ago, we picked up mushrooms, black fungus and other food in the mountains, which suddenly made us think of it and let the children go into the mountains.

What would they do if something really happened to them in the mountains?

Mother Lin was feeling somewhat regretful, and Father Lin stood up and helped the others put down the backpacks on their backs.

Seeing that several people were panting, Lin Changshun quickly went into the house and poured them a few bowls of boiled water so that they could relax.

Lin Yunchu and the other two didn't have time to explain anything. They were in such a hurry when they went down the mountain that they didn't dare to stop for a moment. Now their throats were really dry.

He wanted to speak but couldn't, so he took the bowl from Lin Changshun's hand, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

"call....."

Feeling relieved now.

"What's wrong with you? Is someone chasing you?"

Seeing that the few people had calmed down a little, Father Lin began to ask softly.

Hearing Lin's father's question, Lin Yunchu and the other two looked at each other, their eyes full of excitement.

Lin Changting waved to Lin's father and others. Lin's father and mother were a little puzzled, wondering what this was for and why it was so mysterious.

Moreover, Lin Changting usually speaks little, but is very steady. Why does he look so mysterious today?

Although he was a little confused, he followed his instructions and walked quickly forward to Lin Changting.

Lin Changting leaned forward and whispered to the three of them, "Dad, Mom, Changshun, do you know what we found on the mountain today?"

The three of them looked at each other, then looked at the three backpacks and baskets placed aside, and all shook their heads.

The contents of this backpack look similar to what I brought back from the mountain a few days ago. The top is covered with wild vegetables, and the bottom should be mushrooms and wood ears.

The other basket contained bamboo shoots, with the pointed tips poking out.

If there is anything different, it's that basket of sweetcorn.

They brought some back yesterday and they all praised how delicious it was, so today they specially brought a basket into the mountains. Look, it’s a full basket, it’s so tempting just by looking at it.

Looking at the reactions of the three people, Lin Changting suddenly curled his lips, his face full of mystery.

He said cautiously to the three people again: "Yun Chu dug up a wild ginseng in the mountains!"

Wild ginseng?

What is this? Is it an edible wild fruit?

The three of them had never heard of this, but looking at Lin Changting's appearance, it should be a good thing.

"Yun Chu said it's valuable and can be exchanged for silver at the pharmacy in town."

This sentence is the key point. After Lin Changting said it, he felt relieved.

The three of them were stunned by Lin Changting's last words.

What can be exchanged for silver?

It can't be more valuable than eggs.

Most of the people in Qingxi Village are not well-off, and the only one who raises pigs in the whole village is the headman's family.

The only family in the village that has a cow is the old man Niu at the entrance of the village. He earns some hard-earned money by taking people from the village to the town.

So in their understanding, the only things that can be exchanged for silver, besides the pigs and cows at home, are these eggs.

“Really, more valuable than eggs?”

Mother Lin widened her eyes and asked involuntarily.

Lin Yunchu chuckled softly and explained to Lin's mother:

"This wild ginseng is a relatively valuable herb. I don't know how much it can be sold for. I'll have to wait until I go to the pharmacy in town to find out."

Then he seemed to think of something, paused, and continued: "But I guess it's worth more than eggs."

Since Lin Yunchu came here, the farthest place he has been to is the mountain.

She had never been to this town before, and she didn't know much about it. She didn't know how much wild ginseng was worth here.

After saying that, Lin Yunchu removed the wild vegetable leaves covering the backpack, took out the wild ginseng that he had just dug from the mountain, and placed it carefully in his hand.

As soon as everyone saw the wild ginseng that Lin Yunchu took out, they immediately gathered around curiously and looked at it carefully with amazement on their faces.

This is the wild ginseng that Lin Changting just mentioned. If he hadn't told them, they would have thought it was just an ordinary weed.

Tsk tsk tsk!

I didn't expect that it could be exchanged for silver.

Although I don’t know whether this is true or not, but looking at Lin Yunchu’s cautious look, I think it must be true.

They actually believed what Lin Yunchu said. It was no wonder that the three of them looked like that when they just came back since such things could be exchanged for silver.

If they were in their shoes, they would probably do the same. If they hid valuables on their bodies, they would be very careful for fear that others would find out.

"Dad, I want to go to town tomorrow!"

Lin Yunchu thought about it and told his father his idea. It was not a good idea to keep the wild ginseng at home. It would be better to go to the town and sell it for some silver.

The Lin family has now even used up the initial half can of lard. If the family has no more income, the food they cook in the future will be just bland, without even a speck of oil.

This wild ginseng is just sitting there for a while, so I should exchange it for silver and buy some things my family needs.

"How far do we have to go to town?"

Lin Yunchu had never been anywhere here, let alone to the town. She was thinking of going to the town tomorrow to sell the wild ginseng.

I'll also take some mushrooms and bamboo shoots I dug today to check out. If they can be sold, I'll sell them. If not, I can take them home to eat.

What the Lin family lacks most now is not these mushrooms and other mountain products, but silver.

Their family had to buy lard and food, otherwise everyone in the family would starve.

After being surprised, Father Lin quickly came to his senses. Lin Yunchu wanted to go to the town, and he must be planning to sell the wild ginseng for silver first.

He also agreed to this. The Lin family is now short of clothes and food, and the weather is getting hot. They can put off buying clothes for now, but if they don't find a way to buy some food, the family can't survive by relying solely on the wild vegetables in the fields.
