Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 290 The sister of the control group in the imperial examination

With these people participating, the betrothal gift he carefully prepared was considered quite outstanding and presentable in this small county town.

In this way, Liu Wenxi would not be looked down upon.

If the remaining ginseng is discovered by someone accidentally, it would be a destined fate!

Yuan Feng was quite open-minded about this and did not take it to heart.

After he dug out a few of the oldest ginseng, he took Yuan Wei and slowly walked down the mountain.

As the two were about to step out of the valley, Yuan Wei's gaze casually swept past the back of a towering tree.

She inconspicuously revealed the ginseng in her hand for a moment, then quickly took it back.

A meaningful light flashed quickly in the depths of Yuan Wei's eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely noticeable smile.

No one can take away the ginseng in the valley without her personal consent.

Even for Yuan Feng, it would probably not be easy if he wanted to step into this valley again to look for more ginseng.

Not to mention those who have never set foot here. They can only circle around the periphery like headless flies, unable to get close to the interior of this mysterious and deep valley.

Yuan Wei followed closely behind Yuan Feng, walking lightly down the mountain.

Old Mrs. Zhuang stood quietly behind the big tree, her eyes fixed on the figures of Yuan Feng and his sister walking away.

There was a calculating glint in those slightly cloudy eyes.

As early as at the foot of the mountain, Old Mrs. Zhuang saw the brother and sister walking up the mountain.

For some reason, at that moment she suddenly felt a strong urge in her heart, and she decided to follow them quietly as if possessed by a ghost.

As for the danger of going up the mountain, Mrs. Zhuang didn't think too much about it.

Besides, even Yuan Feng and his sister are not afraid of them, so what is there to be afraid of following them?

Old Mrs. Zhuang knew Yuan Feng's character very well. If there really was a huge risk ahead, given his protective personality, he would never easily lead his sister into danger.

Old Mrs. Zhuang never imagined that it was Yuan Wei who insisted on going up the mountain this time, and Yuan Feng could not resist his sister's insistence, so he was dragged along out of helplessness.

Just now when Yuan Wei came down the mountain, Old Mrs. Zhuang noticed that she was holding something tightly in her hand.

With years of experience and the memory of having seen others dig out ginseng, she recognized at a glance that it was a precious ginseng leaf.

Back then, someone in the village was lucky enough to dig up a ginseng and sold it. Because of the high price it fetched, the whole village started a craze to go up the mountain to look for ginseng.

At that time, Mrs. Zhuang also actively participated in it and carefully studied the appearance of ginseng leaves.

Therefore, when she saw what Yuan Wei was holding, she could conclude without hesitation that it was ginseng.

Old Mrs. Zhuang's eyes flickered slightly.

The moment she saw the ginseng leaves, she planned to walk up to them and ask Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei to hand over the ginseng they had dug to her.

However, she knew very well that this matter would not go so smoothly.

Especially that kid Yuan Feng, he will definitely be a tough nut to crack.

Old Mrs. Zhuang did not give up. She decided to go to the place where they had just dug ginseng to check it out, just in case there were any that had not been dug out.

If we can really gain something, that would be great.

If the place is empty, it will not be too late to go back and look for the brother and sister.

Meanwhile, Yuan Wei got home and immediately started preparing the ginseng she had just dug.

At this moment, she was fully focused on the work in her hands and had long forgotten about Old Lady Zhuang on the mountain.

Yuan Feng, who was standing by, watched his sister's skillful movements quietly, with surprise in his eyes again.

To be honest, Yuan Feng never doubted that Yuan Wei was not his sister.

What surprised him was that, since when, this little girl who had always followed him seemed to have grown up a lot suddenly.

He knew that Yuan Wei had been fond of reading books related to medicine for the past few days.

I think it is because I read more books, so naturally the knowledge I know becomes richer.

Thinking about it this way, Yuan Feng felt that there was nothing strange about all this.

The sky gradually darkened and night was about to fall.

Old man Yuan waited and waited at home, but Old Mrs. Zhuang never came back.

He couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he quickly ordered the elder to go out and look for it.

Yuan Lao Da thought to himself that his mother was probably chatting with one of her aunts and was so engrossed in the conversation that she forgot the time to go home.

So he didn't take this matter too seriously. He strolled around the village slowly, and went to each of the families who had a good relationship with Old Lady Zhuang and who they frequently visited to inquire about the situation.

Along the way, the boss strolled around, sometimes chatting with the villagers passing by, and sometimes stopping to tease other people's dogs and cats. He looked so leisurely and comfortable.

Before he knew it, he arrived at the door of the house closest to the foot of the mountain.

The boss was just about to knock on the door when he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, which made his hair stand on end.

I saw a figure lying on the ground not far away!

The boss was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his throat, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

But soon, he forced himself to calm down, took a few deep breaths to give himself courage, and approached the figure cautiously.

When he saw clearly that the figure was his own mother, he could no longer control his emotions and screamed in horror: "Mom!"

This deafening cry was like a thunder that broke the tranquility of Yuanjia Village at dusk, and the originally quiet and peaceful village suddenly exploded.

Many people who were busy at home heard the sudden scream, grabbed the wooden sticks or farm tools at hand, and rushed out of the house in a hurry.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that the cry seemed to come from the foot of the mountain.

Considering the frequent incidents of wild boars rushing down the mountain and injuring people, everyone felt nervous and guessed that it might be another wild boar coming down the mountain to cause trouble.

At this time, Yuan Fengtian, the head of Yuanjia Village and also the patriarch of the Yuan family, led the charge and rushed to the foot of the mountain at the fastest speed.

When he arrived at the scene panting, he happened to see the elder Yuan carrying Old Mrs. Zhuang slowly towards the village with great effort.

From a distance, Mrs. Zhuang looked horrible.

Not only were his outer clothes tattered, but his body was also covered in bloody wounds, which looked shocking.

Upon seeing this, Clan Leader Yuan couldn't help but gasp, took two steps at a time and stepped forward, anxiously asking:

"What happened? Was he injured like this by a wild boar?"
