Traveling through ancient times to flee from famine, take the time and space gate with you

Jiayin took it in front of her and took a closer look. Is this ginseng so small?

She remembered that there was a thousand-year-old purple ginseng tree in her father's treasure pavilion, which was about the same size as her entire arm.

You should know that Jiayin's arms are as big as white carrots and are chubby.

She had never seen such a small ginseng.

Fang Youwei explained: "This ginseng is still small, probably only about ten years old. The older the ginseng is, the better the medicinal properties. However, despite its small size, it can also play a role in replenishing qi."

Jiayin nodded, "Oh, it turns out that the little ginseng boy is only about ten years old. I can't blame him for being so young."

After knowing that this was a good thing, Jiayin and Fang Zhiyuan searched nearby carefully to see if they could still find it.

As a result, I never saw it again, and this one is probably the only one here.

Fang Youwei thought more. Since there is a small tree here, the place where ginseng actually grows should be in this mountain.

After it stabilizes, he can go inside and search carefully.

If you have old 100-year-old ginseng or the like, you can sell it to the county or a drug store in the county town. I heard it can fetch a lot of money.

"We can't pretend anymore. Let's go back quickly. Your grandmother and mother are still waiting for us over there. They will worry if we go back too late."

Fang Youwei quickly packed the grass into the basket until it was so compact that it could no longer be stuffed.

Fang Youwei said: "Next time we come, let's bring an extra basket specifically for Liuliu's grass."

When Liuliu heard this, he snorted happily at him.

…

The water level quickly receded due to the strong sun every day, but soon after, the puddles near them also dried up.

There was no place to get water, so cooking and drinking water became a problem. Because they had put a lot of charcoal in that puddle to purify the water, so they had to get water for cooking and drinking from that puddle.

They didn't dare to drink the water on the road outside. They didn't know if there were dead animals soaked in the water.

On this day, in addition to going to the trap, they also walked deeper into the mountain to see if they could find a stream or spring.

After all, the deep mountains and forests are lush and green, so there should be water sources.

They did not search blindly, but followed Liuliu.

Liuliu led them forward, which lasted for an hour, until they entered a hidden mountain col.

The vegetation here is lush, the scenery is pleasant, and a creek more than ten feet wide flows in the middle of the hill!

This stream flows out from the stone cracks on the cliff not far away. It is extremely clear. The stones at the bottom of the water have been washed smooth and round. It seems that this stream must have been here for many years.

Fang Youwei filled the several bamboo tubes and water bladders he carried with water, and hurried back without stopping.

Fang Zhiyuan said: "Dad, if we have to come here every day to fetch water, isn't it a bit too far? This place is so beautiful, why don't we move here?"

Fang Youwei shook his head, "Just two more days of peace, and we can return to the village. The road outside is a bit muddy now, and after two days of exposure to the sun, the road should be smooth.

Then we can go back to the village and take a look. If the water in the village has receded, we can go back to live."

Fang Zhiyuan let out a disappointed "Oh" and sat on the back of the donkey, reluctant to look back at this quiet hillside.

Jiayin and Liuliu were chatting with their thoughts.

Good news: "Is this where your tribe lives?"

Liuliu: "No, this is a secret base I discovered. I used to come here as a donkey to play. Where our tribe lives, we still have to go so far in."

Good news: "There doesn't seem to be any other wild animals here to drink water?"

Liuliu: "There is a pool on top of the rock cliff, where they all drink water."

Jiayin nodded, "So that's it, then this place you found is really good."

Liuliu was praised and swung his tail happily.

When he went back, Fang Youwei specially used a machete to cut down the small trees and branches to build a path, which would make it easier to walk next time.

It took a long time to go out today, and by the time we got back to our place, the sun was almost setting.

They set off in the morning and just came back now. Fortunately, they brought dry food with them when they left and ate some on the way, otherwise they would have been starving.

Seeing them coming back, Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li both breathed a sigh of relief, "You are finally back. It took you so long. Did you find water?"

Fang Youwei pointed to the bamboo tube on his body and said, "I found it. There is a small stream in a mountain col."

He took down several bamboo tubes and water bags hanging on his body and said: "I took a look and found that there were no animal footprints nearby. There should be a water pool nearby, and those animals were drinking water at the water pool.

The stream was not wide, but it was very clear. I tasted it and found it was much better than the water in the puddles, with a hint of sweetness in the clearness.

Let's stay here for another two days. If the mud on the road dries up, we'll go back to the village to have a look. After being soaked in such big water for so many days, our house must have collapsed and will probably need to be rebuilt..."
