Chapter 49 I thought it was ginseng that became essence
The two Chen brothers were dumbfounded at the same time.
"Mom!" Chen Shenghu jumped up, "Why is there thunder?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning hit a big stone in front of him, splitting the stone in half.
Less than two meters away, Dadongzi looked at what was happening in front of him, his mouth wide open in shock.
Feeling that the thunder came unexpectedly, he couldn't help but look to his side and saw Lingbao's eyes showing a dazzling golden color.
In an instant, he realized that Lingbao was controlling the thunder...
"When there is thunder on a sunny day, there must be monsters!" Chen Shenghu's legs became weak, "Brother, did we encounter something unclean?"
His brother's scalp was numb and his whole body was shaking right now, for fear that if he took one more step, the next thunder would hit them directly.
Just when they didn't know whether to move forward or retreat, a "rumbling" sound came from the sky, and then several thunder struck down at the same time. Chen Jinbiao and Chen Shenghu were so frightened that they held their heads and trembled.
Called Lianlian.
"Here, throw away the sack in your hand," Chen Jinbiao said while trembling, "The ginseng must have turned into essence. I've heard people say before that you can't take the essence of ginseng out of the mountain, otherwise, otherwise it will
Throw away your life."
His brother was reluctant to throw it away, "No way? We finally got this ginseng, maybe we can sell it for a lot of money."
"Just throw it away. Why bother? Just now, a lightning struck my heel, and snow and mud splashed all over me. Do you want me to be struck to death?" As soon as he finished speaking, another lightning struck down.
, knocking down another big tree near them.
The tree was six meters high and its trunk was about as thick as a bucket. It fell right in front of them, and the two of them were crushed to death with only an inch of distance between them.
Chen Shenghu swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "Brother, look, it seems that this ginseng essence is warning us and does not want to kill us immediately."
"Throw it away quickly!"
"I lost it...I lost it, everything, everything."
Chen Shenghu threw the sack containing ginseng aside, took a tentative step, and after making sure he was not struck by lightning, he ran down the mountain in a panic.
When his brother saw him running away, he hurriedly chased after him, "Wait for me!"
After they left, Dadongzi came back to his senses after a while, looked at Xiao Lingbao, and asked hesitantly: "Lingbao, those thunders just now were you..."
"Yes!" Lingbao nodded, "Although I don't understand why the elder brother is so afraid of them, Lingbao feels that we can't take advantage of them so much! Those things were dug out by the elder brother with great difficulty, why should we give them to them?"
Dadongzi's eyes were filled with emotion, "Lingbao..."
His eyes were slightly red, and he wiped his tears, "It's all my fault, brother. I heard them laughing at you, but I couldn't protect you, and I let them take away the food. Hey, I'm such a loser!"
"Eldest brother is not a waste. Although he doesn't quite understand his thoughts, Lingbao thinks that eldest brother must have his own concerns, right?"
Speaking of this, Lingbao smiled sweetly and said: "Don't worry, they won't know that those thunders were caused by Lingbao, so they won't blame big brother."
Looking at her innocent and lovely smile, Dadongzi felt warm in his heart, "Lingbao, you are still so young. I should obviously protect you, but now you are asked to comfort me. I really don't know what to say."
.”
"Who said that the elder brother must protect the younger sister?" Lingbao smiled and said, "The younger sister can also protect the older brother!"
After saying that, she ran to the sack containing ginseng and waved to her elder brother, "Brother, come here quickly, we are going home!"
"Okay." Dadongzi walked quickly to Lingbao and picked up the sack on the ground.
On the way down the mountain, he turned his head and glanced at the little Lingbao beside him from time to time, and felt infinite warmth in his heart, as if he had gone back to his childhood, when he was bullied by other boys in the village, and his father stood up for him and helped him teach those people a lesson.
Ever since he grew up, he has never experienced the feeling of being protected, especially after his father became paralyzed and he had to shoulder the burden of the family.
Everything at home made him feel tired, including his son's hysterical crying, his wife's bottomless indulgence of his son, and his mother's complaints against him...
Over time, he became numb and was too lazy to resolve conflicts when he saw them. He thought of just living like this casually, one day at a time.
Looking at Lingbao now, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. He didn't know how to describe it. It was like a long-lost blood had returned to his body.
If there is a next time, if anyone dares to make a joke about Lingbao and say that she is a child bride, he will definitely not worry about this or that, but will just punch him!
After going down the mountain, Dadongzi took Lingbao back to his parents' home.
"Dad, Mom, these are the fern roots I dug. I don't know if you want them," Dadongzi said. "The taste is definitely far worse than white flour, but Lingbao said he wanted to taste it, so I'll take half of it."
Come out to you?"
"Brother, have you dug so many fern roots?" Everyone gathered around, and Sihaizi among them couldn't help but exclaimed, "Many people went into the mountain to dig fern roots and kudzu roots before. I thought they were all dug up."
Wu Chaozi made a sound, "It's all because of the spiritual treasure. If he had it on his own, he probably wouldn't be able to dig out even half of it."
This time his eldest brother did not refute his words. He nodded and admitted: "It is true that all the credit goes to Lingbao. I just put in a little effort."
With that said, he poured half of the fern roots on the ground, then took out the ginseng, "This is also what Lingbao found. Mom, please keep it."
Shen Su'e was stunned, "What? Isn't this ginseng?"
When they heard the word "ginseng", the whole family was so shocked that their eyes widened.
Jiang Qingshan took the ginseng, patted off the soil, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Ah! This is wild ginseng that is more than fifteen years old!"
Xiao Lingbao's eyebrows were twisted, "Dad, big brother said that eating this thing can replenish the body, let's eat it at night?"
"Ah? It nourishes the body, but eating ginseng is too luxurious, especially this kind of old ginseng. Healthy people may get angry and have nosebleeds after eating it."
After Jiang Qingshan finished speaking, his wife smiled and explained: "Lingbao, ginseng is a kind of Chinese medicinal material, which is more suitable for tonic for those who are weak and weak."
"Oh, that's it, Lingbao understands," Little Milkman thought of what the two bad guys said and suggested, "Then let's sell it? Sell it to a traditional Chinese medicine store, maybe we can make a lot of money.
.”
“I don’t know if pharmacies in the county will accept ginseng like this,” Jiang Qingshan said. “If not, then we’ll have to sell it in the city.”
When they were discussing how to deal with the ginseng, the door of the courtyard rang "bang bang bang", and Chen Dayong's voice came from outside, "Open the door! My son said that the ginseng they dug was stolen by you! Jiang Qingshan, hurry up and give it to me."
