Qin Jiashu's expression became tense for a moment.

The hands hanging by his sides were also clenched into fists.

His thin lips pursed into a thin line, and he did not dare to look back at her.

At this moment, his darkness and hiding were in sharp contrast to her brightness and uprightness.

But she was still saying: "To tell you the truth, I have a book exactly like yours! By the way, did you buy your book in town too?"

Qin Jiashu didn't know how to answer this question.

Fortunately, Qiao Nan came back at this time.

Qiao Nan was walking unsteadily with fruits in her arms. He quickly walked up to meet her and helped Qiao Nan get some of the fruits.

"Sister, try it quickly." Qiao Nan stepped forward happily.

He wiped it with the hem of his clothes again and again before handing the fruit to Josie.

Qiao Xi didn't notice anything was wrong with Qin Jiashu, just assumed that he didn't want to share it.

It can be said that she has become accustomed to his non-answer.

If he was eloquent and suddenly became very talkative, she would find it strange.

After taking a bite of the fruit, Josie was surprised: "It's really sweet!"

Qiao Nan wiped it casually and took a bite: "It's really sweet!"

He turned to Qin Jiashu and asked: "Brother Jiashu, how do you know this fruit is sweet? Have you ever eaten it?"

"Yeah." Qin Jiashu's eyes softened, "I've basically eaten all the fruits on this mountain."

People in the village don't like him, and his activities since childhood have basically been around this mountain.

No one knows what is on this mountain better than him.

"You are so amazing." Qiao Nan admired from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Jiashu was a little embarrassed: "What's so great about this."

Qiao Xi looked at Qin Jiashu and Qiao Nan standing together and talking, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Perhaps, a person like Qin Jiashu, who is cold on the outside but passionate on the inside, is suitable to be friends with a simple and careless person like Qiao Nan.

After eating the fruit, the three of them worked hard together and passed the rugged mountain road until they finally reached the place where astragalus grew.

This is a gentle slope of a mountainous area. As far as the eye can see, it is covered with wild astragalus.

Qiao Xi was shocked by the sight in front of her and couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

Qin Jiashu was very satisfied with Qiao Xi's reaction. She was happy that his efforts were not in vain.

I was happy in my heart, but I still said calmly: "These astragalus have been growing for at least several years, and no one has touched them. They are the best astragalus in this mountain."

"It's so rare." Qiao Xi thought of the winding road he had just walked, and couldn't help but look at Qin Jiashu: "It seems that no one has come here. How did you find this place?"

Qin Jiashu rarely gave up: "What do you think?"

"I guess..." Qiao Xi couldn't think of it and shook his head: "I don't know."

Qin Jiashu smiled: "Sirius found it."

He took the astragalus root and gave it to Sirius to smell, and then took Sirius up the mountain. Sirius found several places along the way, and this one was the best.

Qiao Xi also laughed: "Sirius is still more powerful, I will bring him big bones to eat later."

The weather in August is the hottest, but standing on the large slope covered with astragalus, it is very cool.

Josie took out the shovel, squatted down and started digging from the very edge.

She picked a smaller one, which was easier to dig, but even though it was small, it was half a meter long, still difficult.

Qin Jiashu and Qiao Nan wanted to help, but Qiao Xi stopped them.

"I'll do it myself, you won't dig it."

Qiao Nan felt sorry for her sister's hard work: "Sister, teach me how to dig, I can learn it!"

"No...wait a minute and I'll tell you..."

Qiao Xi didn't say anything, and Qiao Nan didn't move even if he was anxious, but his eyes were always staring at Qiao Xi.

Josie dug for a while and started to sweat. She wiped the sweat and exhaled slowly.

Looking at the Astragalus hillside, which was as big as an acre of land, she became melancholy.

Originally, her plan was to dig up the astragalus herself and use her special skills to dig it every day or once a week to make money.

But now there is such a large area in front of her. Even if she comes to dig every day, even if she doesn't have skills, she won't be able to finish it!

Digging a plant is so laborious that her skills are of no use at all!

"Sister, just teach me. If you keep digging, you'll get blisters on your hands." Qiao Nan's eyes turned red when she saw Qiao Xi sweating from exhaustion.

It's all because he's so stupid that he makes his sister work so hard!

Qin Jiashu was also puzzled: "Why don't you let us dig?"

"Forget it." Qiao Xi was defeated by reality: "You guys can dig together."

She was the only one digging, and she didn't know how many plants she could dig until dark.

However, it can still be regulated.

Qiao Xi divided the area and did not let Qin Jiashu and Qiao Nan interfere with the small area he dug. He asked them to dig aside.

When Qin Jiashu and Qiao Nan were not paying attention, she also marked the place she dug.

The three of them started working together, blowing the cool breeze from the mountains, and had a great time.

During this period, Qin Jiashu was worried about Qiao Xi and looked in Qiao Xi's direction many times, fearing that Qiao Xi would accidentally shovel his hand or faint from exhaustion.

But what surprised him was that although Qiao Xi moved slowly and had little strength, he didn't feel tired from the beginning to the end.

She puffed out her delicate little face and worked very seriously.

The sunlight hit her fair skin, making her whole body transparent, and the blue blood vessels under her skin could be clearly seen.

She smoothed back her long hair, and the sunlight on the top of her hair formed a halo.

Inexplicably, something moved in his heart again.

If there were elves on the mountain, this would probably be it, his beating heart couldn't help but think.

It wasn't until the sun moved westward and Qin Jiashu reminded them that the three of them stopped.

"It's time to go down the mountain now. If it's any later, the mountain won't be safe."

Qiao Xi wiped the sweat from her face, looked at the astragalus piled on the ground, and took a long breath.

After several hours of hard work, the results are impressive.

She dug three roots, Qiao Nan dug five, and Qin Jiashu was the fastest, digging seven.

Each one is half a meter to one meter long and weighs a lot.

"Ten yuan a pound, this can make a lot of money!" Qiao Xi was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.

Qiao Nan was shocked: "Sister, what did you say? Ten yuan a pound?"

"It's just these astragalus. The health center bought it for ten yuan per pound." Qiao Xi laughed at Qiao Nan: "You don't know anything, so you come with me to dig it up?"

Qiao Nan scratched his head: "Of course what my sister did makes sense, I don't need to know that much."

Qin Jiashu knew that astragalus was a traditional Chinese medicinal material and could be sold for money, but he did not expect that it could be sold for so much.

After Qiao Xi teased Qiao Nan, he looked at Qin Jiashu and said, "If you can trust me, give these you dug to me and sell them together. I will give you the money later."

"There's nothing I can't believe." Qin Jiashu crossed his arms.

You can give it all to her.

Since Qin Jiashu nodded, there is no problem.

Qiao Xi took out the rope, tied up Qin Jiashu, and then tied himself and Qiao Nan up.

Then, stand up and pat the dirt on your hands.

"Let's go down the mountain!"
