The happy little days of the Ye family

The body of the little snake was reddish, with many bright patterns on it, and it looked extremely venomous at first glance.

As soon as the little guy came out of the stone crevice, he quickly let go.

But he's quite brave and doesn't run away. He spit out the snake letter at Tang Xiaojing, as if he was about to attack him at any time.

Heidou and Xiaohua screamed wildly, and the little snake was completely angered and quickly attacked the nearest Xiaohua.

Tang Xiaojing took the machete and struck very quickly, cutting the little snake in two.

The little snake was still moving after its head was chopped off.

Seeing Heidou going to bite him, Tang Shan quickly stopped him and covered the snake's head with sand.

The remaining body of the snake was lifted up by Tang Xiaojing, and he took out the snake's gallbladder with familiarity.

The gallbladder of this venomous snake is a rare medicinal material. It is worth two to three hundred coins when prepared.

After dealing with the venomous snake, the father and son returned to the edge of the stone crevice and prepared to cut down the chicken blood vine.

The two of them used long sticks to poke around in the stone crevices for a while. When they saw that there was nothing inside, Tang Xiaojing reached in again to cut the chicken blood vine.

When the Millipedia was taken out, both father and son were panting from exhaustion.

"I remember there was a small platform at the top of the mountain near the back of the hill. Let's go there to rest."

With that said, the two of them carried their things and came to the small platform Tang Xiaojing mentioned.

Standing on the periphery of the small platform, you can also see the back mountain and a corner of the village not far away.

But his house was blocked by the mountains behind him, and Tang Xiaojing felt a little pity.

The father and son sat on a stone half a man's height to rest, and Tangshan handed over the bamboo tube filled with water.

The two rested for a while and then sorted out the things they found on the mountain.

A poisonous snake's gallbladder, a Millipeda vine and two sacks of various common herbs.

Tang Xiaojing said cheerfully, "Not bad, not bad. Although you can't grow anything on this mountain, there are not many people coming here. There are still some good things on it."

The father and son were full of confidence and felt that there must be something good on the backside of the gravel mountain.

The back of the gravel mountain is leeward, and the rocks encountered along the way are quite large.

There are too many rocks, and even less vegetation can grow on the mountain.

Not to mention the trees, even the weeds are thin and weak, with many yellow leaves.

No valuable herbs were found, but two venomous snakes were encountered, and they were quite big.

When they were halfway up the mountain, the father and son harvested two more snake gallbladders.

While walking, Tang Xiaojing discovered two huge stones.

"These two rocks are really big."

The two stones and the mountain form a triangle, just enclosing a small valley.

There was a gap as thick as an arm between the two stones, and Tang Xiaojing looked inside curiously.

At this glance, he actually saw a familiar plant inside.

Tang Xiaojing blinked his eyes in disbelief. Although the light was a little dim, the tree inside was clearly a wild ginseng, and it was at least forty years old.

"Dad, come here quickly. Can you see if the tree inside is wild ginseng?" Tang Xiaojing's voice was still trembling slightly.

When he heard that there was wild ginseng, Tangshan ran over without caring about the plantain at his feet.

"So big! It looks bigger than the two trees Xilin found in Langshan."

Both father and son had happy faces.

However, the stone gap in front of them was too small, and the two of them couldn't get in at all.

Just as Tang Xiaojing was thinking about whether to climb up the rock and climb in, Heidou not far away screamed twice.

The father and son walked over and took a look. The two dogs actually dug a small hole in the gap between the stone and the mountain.

Heidou and Xiaohua saw someone coming and couldn't wait to get in.

Tang Xiaojing squatted down and looked at the small hole in front of him. It was about the same size as his own body. He should be able to get in.

Just as he was about to climb into the small valley, Tangshan quickly grabbed him.

"Don't worry, let's see if there are any poisonous snakes or other beasts hidden inside."

The three venomous snakes that escaped just now frightened Tangshan, for fear that there might be another venomous snake hidden inside.

The two waited for a while, but there was no movement from the two dogs. Tang Xiaojing looked inside from the entrance of the cave.

Except for a big wild ginseng tree, there were only some weeds inside. The situation inside was clearly visible, and there was no danger.

The two quickly got in through the dog hole.

The wild ginseng grows in the weeds, and is obviously much taller than the weeds nearby, making it very conspicuous.

Tang Xiaojing carefully examined this wild ginseng tree that stood out from the crowd. From the leaves and branches, he could deduce the approximate year.

"I'm really lucky today. This wild ginseng tree should be about 45 years old."

"Really? How much is this wild ginseng worth?" Tang Shan came closer and stared at the wild ginseng in front of him.

"Don't worry, you can only judge how much it's worth based on its condition and age after it's dug out."

The father and son quickly took out the small medicine hoe from the backpack on their backs, grinned and began to dig ginseng.

There are small rocks underneath this gravel mountain, making it very difficult to dig.

The father and son dug carefully for a quarter of an hour before digging out the layer of small stones in front, without even touching the roots of the wild ginseng.

The wild ginseng, which is more than 40 years old, is very big and has many slender ginseng roots underneath. The two dug it very carefully.

The father and son spent a lot of effort digging for more than an hour, and finally dug out the wild ginseng tree completely.

"The quality is good. The roots are basically dug out completely. Once it's cooked, it can be sold for more than 60 taels of silver."

Tang Xiaojing held the wild ginseng in his hands, his joy was beyond words, and his lips almost reached behind his ears.

Seeing that his son was still having fun, Tangshan quickly reminded:

"Let's look around here again. There may be other wild ginseng."

"Yes, yes, this wild ginseng is a big one. There should be smaller ones nearby."

The two of them turned the small valley upside down and finally found a small wild ginseng tree among the weeds. It looked like it was about seven or eight years old.

"Dad, this wild ginseng tree is not big and is only worth a few taels of silver. I think it is better to keep it here and come back to dig it up in a few years."

Tang Xiaojing felt that the wild ginseng was too small and not worth much. It was better to dig it back when it grew up.

"Okay, let's keep this small one for now."

With this wild ginseng that is more than 40 years old, this small one can no longer be seen in Tangshan.

And this kind of good thing still needs to be older to be valuable.

After emerging from the dog hole, the father and son dug some yellow mud and stones to block the entrance of the hole.

Afraid of being discovered that this was new soil, Tang Xiaojing specially moved a stone weighing more than 100 kilograms and blocked the entrance of the cave tightly.

In this small valley, they found a wild ginseng tree that was more than 40 years old. The father and son had no intention of continuing to wander around the mountain.

Carrying large and small bags of things, hurry down the mountain.

They kept their wealth secret, fearing that others would discover that they had found something good. The father and son thought about all the sad things in their lives before they managed to suppress the raised corners of their mouths.
