When everyone rushed up to Lin Wanning with the attitude of watching a good show, they were shocked to find that the big bag was really filled with chestnuts. Moreover, these chestnuts were completely different from the ones they had picked before.
Not only were they plump, but they were also particularly large. One of them could easily match two of the ones they had picked before.
Lin Wanning wasn't stingy. She directly took a handful of chestnuts from the sack and distributed them to each person. Chestnuts could be eaten raw, but of course, they would taste better if processed.
However, the whole bag of chestnuts was extremely heavy. Lin Wanning simply couldn't carry it. Lin Zhiyuan also noticed that Lin Wanning was sweating profusely and gasping for breath.
"Little sister, I'll be off work in about an hour. Why don't you take a rest here? We can go home together when I'm off work."
Lin Wanning had no intention of going home alone. She was not familiar with the way, and besides, she wanted to go back with the chestnuts to feel a sense of accomplishment. Otherwise, her second sister - in - law would surely mock her in various ways.
She still had some time left. She could not only continue to wander around to see if there were any more good things, but also, for the sake of the family atmosphere, she didn't want to keep being awkward with Liu Xiaohui.
"Okay, I'll take a rest here and then wander around in this forest. Just call me when you're off work."
"I won't go too far. I'll definitely be able to hear you."
Seeing that his little sister agreed, Lin Zhiyuan showed his big white teeth. He directly picked up the bag of chestnuts with one hand. Although he was a bit thin, he looked as energetic as a rooster that had won a battle.
He was completely different from the big brother Lin Wanning had seen when she first came. It seemed that a better life could really change the mental outlook of the whole family.
Thinking of the mental outlook, Lin Wanning couldn't help but think of her father. Although her father's condition hadn't worsened, it hadn't improved either.
"Chirp... Chirp..."
When the little squirrel saw everyone dispersing, it leaped into the air and landed directly on Lin Wanning's shoulder. Its pair of pitch - black big eyes stared at Lin Wanning seriously.
Then it pointed at the low - lying area behind Lin Wanning with its furry little paw again.
Lin Wanning knew that the little squirrel could understand her thoughts. Did it know where there was medicine after she thought about her father's illness just now?
The little squirrel leaped down from Lin Wanning's shoulder and hopped forward.
Lin Wanning quickly stood up and followed the little squirrel closely. When they reached the low - lying area of the forest, she found that there was a clear brook at the lowest part. The stream was gurgling, and the vegetation beside it was lush.
She couldn't help but squat down, scoop up a handful of water with her hand, and wash her face. Then she shouted to the little squirrel, "Let me give you a bath. You don't like taking baths at home, but now the forest is your home. I think this water is perfect for you."
But the little squirrel shook its head like a rattle. It was as if it was about to say "No! No!"
Lin Wanning bit her lip. At first, she thought the little squirrel was shy, but now it seemed that it was just simply not fond of being clean.
Just as Lin Wanning made up her mind to catch it and give it a bath by force, the little squirrel seemed to sense what she was going to do next.
It made a jump, nimbly dodged Lin Wanning's hand, and then ran forward quickly.
This really scared Lin Wanning. Did she scare the little squirrel away?
But the next second, the little squirrel seemed to have discovered a new continent. It kept circling around a plant and made digging gestures.
"Is this a medicine?"
The little squirrel nodded quickly.
Lin Wanning looked at the medicinal herb the little squirrel had found. She always felt that she had seen this plant somewhere.
It had palmate leaves with three to five small leaves on them, looking just like a palm.
There were also bright red small fruits clustered together, looking extremely beautiful.
Lin Wanning closed her eyes and searched hard in her mind. After a long time, she suddenly remembered that this was American ginseng.
It was a great tonic in traditional Chinese medicine. At this moment, when Lin Wanning looked at this ginseng, her peach - blossom eyes were shining. She felt that as long as she dug it back, Lin Guoan's illness would be cured instantly.
Seeing Lin Wanning standing there in a daze, the little squirrel stomped its feet desperately and made digging gestures. It looked as anxious as could be.
Lin Wanning had a question mark on her face, but out of trust, she was sure that following the little squirrel's advice would not be wrong.
She carefully squatted down and slowly dug out the soil under the American ginseng with her hands.
"Chirp... Chirp..." The little squirrel was so anxious that it ran over and helped Lin Wanning dig with its little paws. Seeing this, Lin Wanning immediately speeded up.
Finally, a huge ginseng was dug out. Lin Wanning was so excited that she almost jumped up. Fortunately, she still managed to stay calm. Then she counted the reed bowls on it. Before she could finish counting, the little squirrel grabbed the corner of her pants and desperately dragged her to the other side of the brook.
Seeing the little squirrel's abnormal behavior, Lin Wanning had no choice but to put the ginseng away and follow the little squirrel to jump over the brook. But she still wanted to wash her hands. As soon as she squatted down, she found that a cobra with its forked tongue out had appeared at the place where she had dug the ginseng.
Lin Wanning was so scared that she fell on her buttocks. Was this the so - called situation where there was always a spiritual beast guarding the place with treasures?
But now Lin Wanning didn't care about being "ethical". She followed the little squirrel and ran away at full speed. They ran all the way to the place where Lin Zhiyuan was felling trees.
Lin Zhiyuan saw that Lin Wanning's face was as white as a sheet. He thought something had happened to her. But in a blink of an eye, Lin Wanning was smiling so brightly that it was blinding. Then she took out a huge ginseng from her pocket.
Everyone present put down their work and rushed up again to confirm if their eyes were playing tricks on them.
Why was Lin Wanning so lucky?
This was even luckier than finding dog poop. The most important thing was that this place belonged to the forest farm, and once you found something like this, it was yours.
Everyone present was jealous.
They had been working hard cutting trees day and night for three years, hoping to find a big treasure one day. But apart from finding a few small ganoderma lucidum and mushrooms, they had never found such a good thing as ginseng.
The most important thing was that the ginseng in Lin Wanning's hand was at least over ten years old.
"Brother, are you off work? If so, let's go home together. I'll use this to make soup for Dad to nourish his body."
Hearing Lin Wanning say that she was going to make soup with the ginseng, everyone opened their eyes as wide as copper bells again.
One person looked at the ginseng in Lin Wanning's hand in disbelief. "You're going to use such a good thing to make soup? Isn't that just nonsense and a complete waste?"
