Su Yuanyuan was sitting by the fire, she was really bored. She didn't dare to take out a book to read, and she didn't bring it with her. She could only sit in a daze, paying attention to the outside world.
It wasn't until after five o'clock that Zhan Yunzhao woke up.
"Why didn't you call me?" He sat next to Su Yuanyuan.
"You guys should rest. Hongling and I can relax. It doesn't matter if we sleep less at night."
The five people are now a small group. Since the three gay men have done all the hard work, the two of them will do what they can.
"You go and rest, I'm awake."
Su Yuanyuan nodded and went to sleep next to Zeng Hongling, leaning against the wall.
In fact, she couldn't sleep anymore, and it was really uncomfortable to sit and lean against the stone wall like this.
Wei Guangxiang and Zeng Yixin also woke up. They didn't speak and moved quietly, fearing to disturb the two people who were still sleeping.
At seven o'clock, Su Yuanyuan opened her eyes and went outside to wash herself briefly. The three of them had already prepared a meal.
Just cut the mutton into slices, boil it in water, and then put noodles on it after they wake up.
After eating, the cave was cleaned up, and there was nothing left. The five of them set off on the road again.
Because I picked ginseng yesterday, I don’t feel as depressed as yesterday today.
Su Yuanyuan's consciousness was still wide open and she discovered two places. However, the year was too young and it would be too wasteful to take them back, so she didn't tell them.
When going down the mountain, I didn't take the path, but made my own way, hoping to pick it up again.
Zhan Yunzhao, who was walking behind, suddenly said, "We can get to the foot of the mountain today. Let me deal with the mountain ginseng briefly first."
In fact, if the mountain people collected ginseng, they should go back.
"Daozhang Zhan, when are we going back?" Zeng Hongling asked.
"I have no objection. Let's discuss it. I can handle the wild ginseng and I'm not afraid of losing its medicinal effect."
"Then let's stay a few more days, otherwise it will be too troublesome to go back and forth."
Indeed, going up the mountain is so tiring that you have to be highly concentrated.
Su Yuanyuan found another place with wild ginseng, but it was too dangerous. It was growing on a cliff five or six meters high.
It's not that bad depending on the age, but how can we let them discover it? It's about to cross the cliff. It's missed.
Finally she decided to speak out. So she walked towards the cliff.
If she walks like this, the other four people will of course follow.
"Look, what is that?" Su Yuanyuan asked, pointing to the cliff above.
The four of them all raised their heads, and Zhan Yunzhao was excited, "Xiao Su, you are so lucky. It is still a wild ginseng. If you look at the leaves below, you will know that it must be longer than the previous three years."
The five people quickly came to the foot of the mountain. It was too high.
"Yixin and I went up there. I climbed the rope and went down to pick."
The last five people climbed up from the side again.
He had the rope with him, so Wei Guangxiang went down quickly.
"Is it okay for you three to stay up there? Otherwise, I'll go down with you."
"Okay, but you all have to be careful. Tie another rope around you."
Because it is a cliff, although it is only more than ten meters long, it will be very dangerous even if it collapses suddenly.
The three people were waiting above. After an hour and a half, Wei Guangxiang's voice came from below, and two young men climbed up on the rope.
"Daozhang Zhan, look at it, is this wild ginseng older?" Wei Guangxiang said, taking out the wrapped wild ginseng from his arms and handing it to Zhan Yunzhao.
This is a wild ginseng that already has human form.
Zhan Yunzhao's smiling eyes made you wake up.
"This wild ginseng is at least two hundred years old. Its value cannot be compared to the previous three."
The five people gathered around the wild ginseng and said, "Let's go down the mountain. Lin Gensheng said there is a cave at the foot of the mountain. Let's go there to rest. I will sort out the four wild ginseng there."
Of course the other four people had no objections. And they were all excited.
When it was still dark, we arrived at the cave and had time to collect firewood and tidy up.
Wei Guangxiang and Zeng Yixin were hunting, and the two girls were responsible for collecting firewood and boiling water.
Zhan Yunzhao took out tools at the entrance of the cave to process four wild ginseng.
It wasn't until dark that the roe deer and rabbit meat had been stewed and roasted. Zhan Yunzhao finally packed up.
Su Yuanyuan looked at the ginseng wrapped in cotton cloth and found it quite interesting.
She still didn't eat barbecue in the evening, but just drank water.
Seeing her like this, the other four people were helpless.
"Yuanyuan, let me cook you some porridge." Zeng Hongling said with concern.
"No. Just make porridge tomorrow morning. It's okay if I don't eat it at night."
"Is it good to bake steamed buns over fire?"
"I really don't want to eat, you don't have to worry."
"Let's go back tomorrow, Xiao Su can stay here, and the four of us will continue going up the mountain."
Su Yuanyuan thought for a while and shook her head, "I don't trust you, so be it."
"Yuanyuan, ginseng is not safe to carry on your body, and even more unsafe to leave in other people's homes. In fact, the four of us are capable of protecting ourselves." Zeng Hongling comforted Su Yuanyuan.
"I'm afraid you are in some danger."
"What danger can there be? That is, encountering wild animals, but the four of us are not vegetarians. Go back, you can't do this. You are looking at the ginseng at home. I think even the ginseng left by the mountain people is not as good as the one we picked.
Four sticks are good, won’t they make people greedy if you take them out?”
Wei Guangxiang took over and said, "Su Yuanyuan, you really don't have to worry about us. Before we met you, were we still going to rob tombs? It's not safer than here."
Zeng Yixin continued, "Yes, and even if we are really in danger, what does that have to do with you? Coming to pick ginseng is also our own request. Don't think too much. We will return tomorrow and you stay at home."
Su Yuanyuan looked at the expressions of the four people, and suddenly she understood that they were all adults, and maybe they had experienced as much as herself. She was really not used to this kind of life.
If you really can't do it, just stay by yourself and follow them secretly. You don't want to suffer anyway.
People are like this. It is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.
I have my own space and have become accustomed to living a comfortable life. Now it is really difficult for me to live a normal life.
Everything was cleaned up, "I'm on duty tonight, you all need to sleep."
"Yuanyuan, there's no need for this. We're also resting at home for the day. Don't worry, it's just the two of us who are on duty all night."
The three gay men didn't say anything, and they didn't rush to watch the night. It was not tiring, it was just a waste of time. Let Su Yuanyuan do it, otherwise she would be unhappy. They all knew what kind of person she was.
