With Lin Qingran's actions, the ginseng was soon presented in front of the brother and sister. Lin Qingxue continued to dig another ginseng.

When the second ginseng was half dug, Uncle Lin came over with his two sons. They saw the two ginsengs in Lin Qingxue's hands at a glance. The three of them covered their mouths tightly, fearing that they would not be able to hold back and scream out.

"Okay, Qingxue, quickly put these two ginseng plants away!"

After digging it out, Lin Qingran was soaked in sweat. He was really nervous and excited.

Lin Qingxue nodded, took out a handkerchief from her arms, wrapped the ginseng, stuffed it into her arms, and then threw it into the space.

As for the soil near the ginseng, Lin Qingxue quietly collected it and threw it into the space. Who knows if there are any ginseng seeds fallen in the soil?

"Uncle, go and see if Auntie and the others have arrived?" Lin Qingxue planned to rest on the spot. She was a little tired after walking for such a long time.

"Okay, it's been so long, it's time for you to come over," Uncle Lin nodded. His wife and three daughters-in-law didn't pick much, so they could have finished picking them by now.

"Dad, you guys rest here! I'll go pick up Mom and the others," Lin Qingming looked up at the sun in the sky. It was noon, and everyone was tired from walking and working. It was a good time to take a break.

Uncle Lin nodded, and everyone took the things to the place where they had just dug Polygonum multiflorum, and Lin Qingming went back the same way to pick people up.

Lin Qingxue and the others sat down to rest for about an hour, and then Lin Qingming came over with Aunt Lin and the others.

"Auntie, sisters-in-law, you must be tired! Sit down and rest for a while. There's a patch of wild chrysanthemums next to us that we need to pick. We can keep them for drinking or sell them for money."

Seeing Aunt Lin and the others coming, Lin Qingxue felt relieved. After such a long time, she was really worried that something might have happened to them.

"No need to rest, just take us there now! You guys go and get busy!" Aunt Lin looked up at Li Yanniang and the others. Seeing that everyone looked in good spirits and not tired, she didn't plan to rest.

Seeing that Aunt Lin and the others insisted, Lin Qingxue took them directly there. After all, they could just sit on the ground while picking wild chrysanthemums.

Aunt Lin and the others had already found their way, so Lin Qingxue took Uncle Lin and his three brothers to continue searching nearby.

Although he didn't find anything that could be exchanged for silver, Lin Qingxue found four traps, and there was prey in each trap.

"Qingxue is so lucky. It's worth going up the mountain today." Looking at the prey in the trap and recalling today's harvest, Lin Qingming couldn't stop smiling.

"Yes! We have a big harvest today." Not only him, but Uncle Lin and the others were also very happy with today's harvest.

"Stop talking and get back to work!" Lin Qingxue said weakly. Although they had only rested for an hour, they had only been sitting and resting without eating anything. They must be really hungry now.

"Uncle, we have a lot of prey here. We didn't eat at noon. We have to go down the mountain quickly and go home to eat. We can't look for more, otherwise we won't have the strength to bring all these things down the mountain."

Lin Qingran said helplessly. He was upset if he didn't gain anything, but he was also worried that he wouldn't be able to stay if he gained too much. Not to mention coming back the next day, who knew if there would be anything left the next day.

"The third child is right. Let's go home directly later! Everyone is hungry," Uncle Lin nodded. He was in a good mood at the moment, so naturally he would do whatever the children said.

Uncle Lin asked Lin Qingxue to stand by and watch while he and Lin Qingming went down to the trap to sort out the prey. Fortunately, they brought a lot of tools, otherwise it would have been a real headache.

Uncle Lin and his son set a trap and tied up the prey with a hemp rope. The brothers Lin Qingbai and Lin Qingran, who were standing on top, were responsible for pulling the prey up.

This process repeated about ten times. After all the prey were pulled up, Aunt Lin and the others had finished picking the wild chrysanthemums and walked towards this side.

"You have a good harvest!" Seeing the prey piled on the ground, Aunt Lin and the others were excited. After the meat is dried, it can be eaten for a while.

"Old woman, stop looking. Come and help me put the small prey in the basket. They will carry the big ones down the mountain later," Uncle Lin shouted softly to Aunt Lin and the others, fearing that his voice was too loud and might be heard by others.

With the help of Aunt Lin and the others, Uncle Lin and his friends quickly packed up and prepared to return home.

The way down the mountain was more difficult to walk than the way up the mountain, not to mention that they were carrying so many things back. After finally getting down the mountain and entering the village, everyone returned home in fear.

Fortunately, we didn’t meet any villagers along the way, otherwise we might not be able to keep the meat, which would have been troublesome.

"Where have you been? Why did you get so many things?"

After Aunt Lin and the others waited until everyone entered the yard, they quickly closed the gate. Hearing the noise in the yard, Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin also hurried out of the house with the children. Seeing the prey piled on the ground, the two old people were extremely happy and shocked.

"Mom, please go and boil some water for us! We need to clean all this up right away. Is there anything to eat at home? We are starving."

Uncle Lin collapsed on the ground. He had forced himself to return home, but he was actually already tired and hungry, and the others were even worse.

"There's food. I'll get it for you right away. I didn't know when you would be back, so I made some extra food and put it in the cupboard. I'll go make you some more."

After hearing Uncle Lin's words and seeing the pale and tired faces of her grandchildren, Mrs. Lin felt so distressed. It must be so hard for the children.

Lin Qingxue didn't want to say a word. She really had no strength left. Soon, Lin Xiaoshan and her brothers came out of the kitchen with water and food.

"Grandpa and grandma, eat something and drink some water first, then take a rest. Grandma is boiling water in the kitchen." As soon as Lin Xiaoshan finished speaking, everyone took the food and started eating.

Nowadays, people's food is simple. It is either sweet potato rice, sweet potatoes, or steamed buns or pancakes made of black flour and corn flour.

Today, the food that Mrs. Lin left for Lin Qingxue and the others was two-grain steamed buns made of two-grain flour. Each female member got two two-grain steamed buns, while the men ate more and did physical work, so they got four two-grain steamed buns.

After eating until they were about 70% full, everyone drank a bowl of water and sat on the ground to rest for a while. Everyone recovered.

Soon, Mrs. Lin boiled two pots of hot water. The three oldest people among the four generations, Lin Xiaoshan, Lin Xiaotao, and Lin Xiaoqi, helped carry the hot water in wooden buckets to the yard.
