At first he suspected it was his ex-wife, but based on his last observation, he found that she was not so capable. Her current husband also asked someone to check but found nothing wrong.

After the two discussed some other things, An Qingping left here quietly.

The carefree children were completely unaware of these things.

After half a month of school, I had a weekend off in the afternoon.

The brother and sister went to the mountains alone without any followers.

Because An Xueyan wanted to go to a place deeper in the mountains to dig some medicinal herbs, she persuaded her brother to go with her.

With their current skills, the two of them could easily deal with ordinary wild animals, so An Honglei agreed with full confidence.

Holding a sickle and a small hoe, and carrying a small backpack, the two of them smeared the snake, insect, rat and ant repellent medicine made by An Xueyan on their bodies and went up the mountain.

As soon as she entered the area where few people had set foot, An Xueyan dug up several kinds of necessary medicinal herbs. While digging, she smuggled some into the space to plant them.

An Honglei, who was walking in front, pointed at a patch of plants and asked, "Sister, is that Polygonatum sibiricum?"

An Xueyan looked in the direction and saw that it was indeed Polygonatum.

"Yes, it should have been many years ago, brother, let's dig it up quickly."

"There are so many. If you can't use it all, you can exchange it for money. The older it gets, the more valuable it will be."

The two of them didn't waste any time and started digging directly, not stopping until both of their backpacks were full.

This is only one third of the excavation, and there is still a lot to be done.

An Honglei looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's go back first and come back to dig next time."

An Xueyan had no objection, and the two of them chose a shorter route down the mountain.

When we were halfway there, we heard a "kak kak kak" sound coming from the bushes next to us.

"Brother, there is a sound, let's go and take a look." An Xueyan heard the sound first and turned to An Honglei who was following behind.

The brother and sister went towards the source of the sound. About 10 meters away from the roadside was a large injured white bird lying there, which had noticed the approach of strangers.

The sound became more and more rapid, and the uninjured wings flapped continuously, trying hard to fly away from here.

But the other wing was probably injured too badly to be of any use, and its feet were entangled by vines.

An Honglei had seen this bird from a distance before, so he recognized it and said, "This is a Saker Falcon, but it doesn't have much meat."

"Let's take it back and see if we can raise it. If it's well, you can keep it as a pet for me." When An Xueyan heard about the Saker Falcon, she thought of the [Eagle Killing Incident] during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. This creature is known as the "God of Ten Thousand Eagles" and was also called a "divine bird" in ancient times.

In her mind, it still held a certain mythical quality, and she couldn't bear to eat it. The "divine bird," the Saker Falcon, leaned over and took a little spiritual spring water from the space and sprinkled it on the grass. The Saker Falcon immediately quieted down, its animal instinct sensing that this was good for its health, and it pecked at the water droplets on the grass.

An Xueyan took out the water bottle they brought, which contained spiritual spring water, and cleaned its wound. Perhaps because it felt that its body was getting better and did not sense any malicious intent, the Saker Falcon became docile and allowed An Xueyan to do whatever she wanted.

The wound stopped bleeding quickly after being cleaned with spiritual spring water. She gently picked him up. Haidongqing struggled a few times out of unfamiliarity, but failed to break free and let An Xueyan hold him.

"Let me hold her." An Honglei wanted to take her because he was worried that it would be inconvenient for his sister to walk with her in his arms.

The sharp bird's beak hit my hand as soon as it touched it. If I hadn't dodged quickly, there would have been a bloody hole on my hand.

He stroked its fur soothingly and said to his brother, "It's okay for me to hold it. It must be shy."

An Honglei glared at the held Saker Falcon threateningly: "I'll stew you when I get back."

In return, the Saker Falcon made a loud, sharp sound: "keck!"

When the brother and sister returned home, everyone who had gone to work had already gone home.

The only thing that greeted the brother and sister was Zhang Guihua's nagging: "Where have you two been? It's so late. Aren't you afraid that Wong Tai Sin will take you to the mountains?"

"Hey, I caught a bird. It's not very big, but it can be used to make a pot of soup."

Feeling the murderous aura again, the Saker Falcon struggled restlessly, yelling "keck" again.

An Xueyan quickly patted the cat soothingly and explained to Zhang Guihua, "Grandma, this is a wounded Saker Falcon. I plan to treat its wounds and take care of it. I won't eat it."

"Grandma, we dug up a lot of Polygonatum today." An Honglei was also afraid that his grandma would kill this ungrateful bird, so he quickly put down the backpack to let his grandma see today's results.

Zhang Guihua regretted that she couldn't eat meat today, and her regretful eyes moved to her grandson's backpack.

Seeing it was just a root, she didn't recognize it, so she asked, "What is this for?"

An Honglei...made a mistake. He didn't expect that his grandmother didn't recognize him.

So I explained to his grandmother: "This is a medicinal herb. My sister said it has the effects of replenishing qi and nourishing yin, strengthening the spleen, moistening the lungs, and benefiting the kidneys. Anyway, it can nourish the body and can also be exchanged for money."

An Xueyan had already put down the basket she was carrying and, holding the Saker Falcon, added, "I plan to use this to make some tonic for you and your grandparents. It's good for your health. We haven't dug up all the herbs yet. There's still a lot in the mountains. They're all around 15 years old and should be worth quite a bit of money."

Hearing that it was valuable, Zhang Guihua waved her hands and said, "If it's valuable, then go and exchange it all for money. Your grandfather and I are in good health and don't need any supplements."

They just dig for food in the soil, so why do they need to eat such precious things? Wouldn't it be delicious if it could be exchanged for money?

An Xueyan took her grandmother's hand and said seriously, "You and my grandfather may look fine on the outside, but we're really weak inside. We need to take care of ourselves. I also hope you live a long life. I'll take you everywhere in the future, to see Tiananmen Square and climb the Great Wall."

"Yes, both grandpa and grandma need to nourish their bodies." An Honglei also held Zhang Guihua's other hand and said.

Zhang Guihua only heard this and asked An Xueyan worriedly, "Is your grandfather really that weak?"

An Xueyan: Actually, I don’t feel that weak after drinking the spiritual spring water for so long.

But it's good to be able to replenish it. After all, you need to take better care of yourself as you get older. He said seriously: "I have damaged my body in the past and lacked essence and blood, so I still have to replenish it slowly.

"Grandma, you've given birth too many times and done hard labor for many years, so your health is badly damaged."

"Then give your grandpa more nourishment." "Listen to grandpa and give your grandma more nourishment." The old couple said at the same time.

An Xueyan: I haven’t had dinner yet and I’m full.

"Old man, you are the head of the family, I will just give you some supplements, I am fine too."

"How can it be okay? I still remember that you were always complaining about dizziness last year. You must be weak. Let's replenish it together. Anyway, this stuff is dug up from the mountains for free, so you don't have to worry about it."

Finally, the old man persuaded him to let An Xueyan direct the preparation of the Polygonatum odoratum and make it into a tonic as soon as possible.
