Ye Congwen shouted in surprise, but he didn't know if it was a three-color elixir. He had to cut it open to find out the inside story.
When Yu Yueyue heard Ye Congwen shouting, she quickly ran over to watch. She took the night pearl and looked at it carefully for a long time, and sighed with envy on her face:
"Such a big snow ginseng is probably at least ten kilograms. The largest ginseng in my eighty-one herbal medicine shop in the Yu family only weighs two kilograms. Grandpa regards it as a treasure of the store and puts it on display in the main store. This kind of top quality
Snow ginseng…”
Yu Yueyue thought of the valuable business opportunity. If she moved this snow ginseng to the main store for exhibition, I am afraid it would cause a sensation in the whole county!
"Don't be in a daze. There is a three-color snow ginseng in the Xun position. There is also a three-color snow ginseng in your earthquake position. Let's dig it out together."
Ye Congwen thought that elixirs were always accompanied by food, and reminded Yu Yueyue to dig out the elixir quickly. Upon hearing this, Yu Yueyue was so excited that she ran back, waving her hoe and digging hard, as if she was tireless.
Ye Congwen put the elixir into his backpack and went over with a hoe to help. Digging holes with both hands was only suitable for one person to use secretly and not to be exposed in front of Yu Yueyue.
Unexpectedly, the two dug for more than an hour and turned over all the land at the earthquake site. There was still no sign of snow ginseng, but they dug out a lot of gastrodia elata essence.
"How could this happen? The snow ginseng is quite big, weighing at least ten kilograms. There's no way it can't be seen!"
Ye Congwen frowned and read in confusion.
"Is it not at the earthquake location, but at the other six directions?"
Yu Yueyue also had a sad look on her face, and looked at the other six plots of land reluctantly. She was almost exhausted after digging for a while, and she might not be able to hold on after digging another six plots.
"No. I have checked the other six pieces, and there is not even three-color soil. It is impossible to grow three-color elixir." Ye Congwen shook his head and replied resolutely.
Ye Congwen picked up the gastrodia elata essence in the mound and looked at it one by one. He found that the surface of the gastrodia elata was smooth and translucent, with no growth rings at all. He couldn't help but murmured strangely:
"This is the first time I've seen such a bright Gastrodia elata. There are no ring marks. It didn't grow up overnight, right?"
I was talking to myself, and suddenly a thought flashed through my mind. Didn't this big tree turn green overnight? Could it be that there is some treasure that makes them all glow with new life overnight?
"It's over, maybe we're late!"
Ye Congwen screamed and jumped into the pit, searching hard for something.
Yu Yueyue was confused by Ye Congwen's actions, with a serious look on her face. She couldn't ask further questions, so she had no choice but to pick up the missing gastrodia elata essence and waited quietly for Ye Congwen to tell the reason.
Ye Congwen rummaged in the pit for a long time, and finally found a piece of yellow leather more than a foot long, muttering to himself:
"Sure enough, I came a day late, and such a good three-color elixir was just gone. If I had known this, I would have been here last night!"
His eyes were full of regret and frustration.
"What is this? Is it the skin of a snake?" Yu Yueyue asked in a low voice.
"It's shed skin, not from a snake, but from snow ginseng, or three-color snow ginseng..."
Ye Congwen jumped up from the pit, his expression returned to normal. If it is gone, it is gone. There is no regret in buying medicine. In this wild mountain, even if you give yourself a five-color treasure medicine, you will not dare to dig it at night.
"What is it? Snow ginseng can also shed its skin. Are you kidding me?"
Yu Yueyue asked calmly

, she really didn’t have the energy to argue with Ye Congwen. She really wanted to find a clean place to lie down, her hands were sore and her feet were numb, and she was tired from bending over.
Ye Congwen found a place in the forest with thick fallen leaves and lay down. He crossed his legs and carefully looked at the shed skin in his hands. Thinking of the trick, he sighed, and suddenly all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away.
"Tell me the reason why. You keep hanging on me like this. If I get angry later, don't blame me for ignoring you."
Yu Yueyue slowly followed over and saw Ye Congwen lying comfortably on the fallen leaves. She was filled with envy in her heart. Unfortunately, she was afraid of staining her clothes, was afraid of bug bites, and was afraid of insulting her gentleness...
"Come here and lie down and say, aren't you tired after digging for so long?" Ye Congwen patted the fallen leaves beside him and motioned for Yu Yueyue to lie down.
Yu Yueyue had this intention, but when Ye Congwen said this, she really didn't want to lie down. The most ladylike image she could accept was sitting on a relatively clean ground.
Slowly walked to the side, as far away from Ye Congwen as possible, bent down to clean up on the ground for a long time, and then carefully sat down.
Ye Congwen really couldn't stand this woman's habit of being too clean, so he teased dissatisfiedly:
"I won't tell you until you lie down."
"Why are you such a scoundrel? It doesn't matter whether I sit or lie down and stop you from talking."
"Well, you let me close my eyes and think about the truth and logic carefully, and then I will tell you after I organize the language."
Ye Congwen simply closed his eyes and rested for a while. He had been digging too fast just now and was even more tired than rowing all morning.
The anger in Yu Yueyue's heart was instantly ignited, and she wanted to question the relationship between the two, but her image as a lady was destined to make her unable to get angry.
After sitting aside for more than ten minutes, my whole body was really sore. I followed Ye Congwen's example and lay down on the ground. The soft fallen leaves gently supported my body, as if I was sleeping on a thick quilt. I couldn't help but show my knowing smile.
Smiling, hehehe said:
"I'm lying down too. Please tell me the reason."
Ye Congwen turned around and glanced at Yu Yueyue, and saw the woman lying on the ground in a daze, with a smile on her face. It was obvious that she had tasted the sweetness, but this person had a very tough mouth.
"Do you know why this big tree grew green leaves overnight? And the leaves are several times larger than usual."
Ye Congwen pointed at a leaf and asked Yu Yueyue to observe it. Seeing Yu Yueyue's approval, he took out medicinal materials such as gastrodia elata, pointed to the smooth skin and said:
"There are no growth patterns on the surface of these medicinal materials. Your family has been running a pharmacy for generations, so you should know better than me."
Yu Yueyue took the luminous beads and looked at them carefully. It was exactly the same as Ye Congwen said. She couldn't help but said in surprise:
"If you don't tell me, I really didn't pay attention. I thought that the accompanying medicinal materials growing next to the elixir have unique shapes, so..."
"If there are no lines, there is only one possibility: either the skin has been changed, or the growth time is extremely short.
This medicinal material is just like human beings. Babies’ skin is tender and smooth. As time changes and the age grows, there will always be more or less scars and scratches on the face and body——"
Yu Yueyue saw Ye Congwen glancing at her face and asked in confusion:
"You just keep talking, what are you looking at in my face?"
"I'm going to find scars on your face to prove the truth of the theory. You are also a weirdo. Have you never had a fight or a fall in your life? Your face is as white and tender as a baby.
?”
Are you praising my skin? Yu Yueyue
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He smiled proudly and then pretended to be reserved:
"I haven't left home since I was a child. I often read and write at home. I don't like to join in the fun and play together. I don't get much sun exposure, and my skin is naturally whiter than that of ordinary people."
Speaking of being pale, I couldn't help but think of Ye Congwen's previous ridicule that he looked as white as a paper man. He felt resentful for a moment and said sarcastically:
"Do you think everyone is as wild as you? They go up the mountains all day digging for medicine and go down to the rivers to catch fish, and they tan themselves as dark as charcoal."
"Isn't it normal for men to have dark spots on their skin? This way they can look healthy and exercise in the sun.
If it were all in vain like you, wouldn't you be just like Mo Renxin's bestie, who is so feminine and vicious, and makes you angry just by looking at her?"
Ye Congwen said disdainfully.
"Hey, how can you curse so well?"
"I am describing it objectively, without adding any personal emotions. He is always white and fat."
"Mo Renxin is white and fat, but you can't call others a turtle. This word is very obscene!"
Ye Congwen glanced at Yu Yueyue and saw that her face was full of disgust. You are here to protect your feelings. Do they have a close relationship? It is a routine operation for aristocratic families to marry each other, so he had to say angrily:
"I was rude. It's normal for the three aristocratic families of yours to get married and protect each other. I shouldn't have mentioned this boudoir son in front of you."
"Young Master in the Boudoir? So you call me your Young Master?" Yu Yueyue asked tentatively.
"Yes, you react very quickly. Boudoir girls like you are called boudoirs for short. As for a fat boudoir boy like Mo Renxin who stays at home all day long, of course he is called boudoir for short. Don't you even have this basic common sense?
don't know?"
Ye Congwen looked at Yu Yueyue very suspiciously. Isn't it said that he is well-read in poetry and books? You still need to be taught this basic knowledge. You don't know how?
Yu Yueyue almost stood up in anger. The messy abbreviations caused me to misunderstand for a long time. I am a girl in a boudoir and you, an illiterate person, are discussing such an unspeakable topic as Mr. Turtle. She said coquettishly:
"Which bastard taught you how to read and write? You make mistakes and make mistakes all day long!
Gui Gong specifically refers to the long-term workers in the brothel. Also, it is called the same spirit and the branches, and the joint union refers to the marriage between a man and a woman. Don't use idioms randomly if you don't understand."
"It also means that you urban intellectuals are really good at playing, long-term workers are long-term workers, and you have divided them in such detail. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for us, small people in the mountains and fields who have never seen the world?
But I admit that I used the wrong word. How could a beautiful and kind-hearted person like you marry Fatty Mo? That would not be a waste of natural resources." Ye Congwen said with emotion.
"Humph!" Yu Yueyue didn't want to hear this insincere compliment.
"Don't be so hesitant. Even if you marry to our Iron Tower Village, it would be better than marrying Mo Renxin's duplicitous bestie."
"I won't marry anyone, you two are not good people!" Yu Yueyue was so angry that her mouth was bulging and her teeth were almost worn out.
"That's not up to you. If one day some big shot proposes a man for marriage to you, can you resist?"
"I will ignore the emperor when he comes. At worst, I will become a nun. No one can force me."
Yu Yueyue feels that as a scholar, she still has some pride.
Ye Congwen shook his head and asked:
"The emperor is nothing! I mean, how can you resist those gods, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, moons, and the like in the sky?"
