Chapter five hundred and fifty fourth disrespect for the old
Around the female ginseng, more than twenty small ginseng plants had grown, and Dongfang Xuxiao was even more cautious when digging.
"Be careful...be careful..." Hong Ling looked nervous and kept warning from the side.
Beads of nervous sweat slid down Dongfang Xuxiao's forehead, for fear of accidentally damaging the integrity of the ginseng.
Under this mixture of tension and joy, after an hour and a half of hard work, Dongfang Xuxiao finally took out the ginseng intact from the soil.
"Great!" Hong Ling smiled, looking at the female ginseng in Dongfang Xuxiao's palm, she couldn't help but cheer.
Staring at Hong Ling's cheerful face, Dongfang Xuxiao felt that the effort and hard work of this hour and a half were all worth it.
Hong Ling raised her head and looked at the sky from the treetops: "It's getting late, let's go back first!"
"Okay!" Dongfang Xuxiao had no objection and handed the female ginseng in his palm to Hong Ling.
Looking at the two ginseng plants, one female and one male, in the palm of her hand, Hong Ling smiled slightly: "I believe that senior madman will be extremely happy if he sees these two ginseng plants!"
"It should be!" For medical practitioners, no matter what kind of medicinal herbs, they will be very happy!
The two of them walked back the same way they came.
When Hong Ling and Dongfang Xuxiao walked out of the woods, they saw Xue Ning and Madman talking and laughing in the field.
"Hide the ginseng first!" While speaking, Hong Ling handed the two ginseng plants in her hand to Dongfang Xuxiao.
Dongfang Xuxiao hid the ginseng behind his back without thinking too much.
"You guys still know you're coming back? I thought you were missing?" The lunatic who raised his eyes inadvertently joked when he saw Dongfang Xuxiao and Hong Ling.
Hong Ling's expression remained unchanged, as if she hadn't heard the madman's joke.
The madman raised his eyebrows and looked at Dongfang Xuxiao and Hong Ling carefully: "Looking at your faces full of spring, what good things have happened to you?"
"No!" Dongfang Xuxiao opened his eyes and told lies, with no intention of blushing.
"It's weird if there isn't!" The madman stood up from the field, looking at Hong Ling and Dongfang Xuxiao, his eyes gradually became ambiguous: "To be honest, do you two have..."
"Senior Crazy!" Hong Ling's willow eyebrows suddenly frowned, and she could read the words he was about to say from the eyes of the madman keenly: "I planned to give Senior Crazy a surprise, but now it seems..." Hong Ling's cherry lips pursed slightly: "...
…forget it!"
"What? Are you angry, little girl?" The madman stepped forward and came to Hong Ling's side: "I was just joking, why should I be so stingy!"
"It's because you are disrespectful, but it's not Hong Ling who is stingy!" Hong Ling pretended to be angry and kept her face away.
"Ah!" The lunatic stopped: "You little girl has quite a stubborn temper!"
"Hmph!" Hong Ling snorted coldly, still ignoring the madman's intention.
Seeing this, Xue Ning walked slowly to Hong Ling and spoke like a peacemaker: "Hong Ling! Don't be familiar with him, he has this temper!"
Hong Ling said nothing, stretched out her hand and gently pulled Xu Ning to one side: "Senior Xu Ning, don't worry! Hong Ling was just joking with the crazy senior!"
"Is this tit for tat?"
Hong Ling playfully stuck out the tip of her tongue and nodded gently.
"You!" Xue Ning laughed, but her eyes were filled with doting and indulgence, as if Hong Ling was her own child.
"What are you two muttering about?" the madman couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing!" Xue Ning looked back.
"That's right! Senior Xuening!" Hong Ling pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Hong Ling has something to show you!"
"What?" Xuening was slightly confused.
"Come with Hong Ling!" Hong Ling took the lead and walked to Dongfang Xuxiao's side, followed by Xue Ning.
Dongfang Xuxiao took out two ginseng plants from behind his back, just enough to avoid the madman's sight.
Staring at the items in Dongfang Xuxiao's hands, Xuening exclaimed: "Where did you find such a valuable thing?" Xuening, who lived with a madman, could naturally recognize Dongfang at a glance after years of exposure.
What is the object in Xu Xiao's hand?
"We accidentally discovered it in the woods we just went to!" Hong Ling glanced behind her with ulterior motives and lowered her voice: "Senior Xuening! Do you think Senior Crazy would be very happy if he saw it?"
Xue Ning smiled and nodded with certainty: "Yes!"
Seeing three people gathered in a group, isolated from each other, Senior Madman felt bad!
"It seems! I'm the only one here..." Looking at the three figures, the madman continued coldly: "...I'd better be smarter and go on your own!" After saying that, he put his arms behind his back and walked slowly towards his residence.
.
"I'm angry!" Hong Ling chuckled playfully, turned around and chased the madman in the direction he left: "Okay! Senior madman! Hong Ling won't tease you anymore!"
"..." The madman showed no appreciation and continued to move forward.
Seeing this, Hong Ling used her trump card: "If you take one more step forward, you will miss an extremely rare medicinal material in the world!"
When the lunatic heard this, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
For those who are obsessed with medicine, every rare medicinal material is what they pursue throughout their lives.
"What medicinal materials?" After a long silence, the madman finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked aloud.
"Don't worry! I will definitely not disappoint you!" Hong Ling stepped forward and pulled the lunatic back to Dongfang Xuxiao.
Dongfang Xuxiao was extremely cooperative and raised two ginseng plants in his palm.
Upon seeing this, the lunatic's eyes instantly burst into bright light, and he snatched the two ginseng plants from Dongfang Xuxiao's palm, grinning in admiration.
"A small ginseng represents a hundred years..." The madman counted the small ginseng around the female ginseng: "...there are twenty-eight small ginsengs, which means that this female ginseng is 2,800 years old.
age!"
Hong Ling was slightly surprised. Although she had intuitively thought that the two ginseng plants should be over a thousand years old when she discovered them, she never expected that this female ginseng plant was actually 2,800 years old.
"Where did you find it?" the madman asked excitedly.
Hong Ling pointed to the woods she had just visited: "It's in that woods!"
"Weird!" The madman couldn't help but mutter: "I have lived here for nearly fifty years, how come I haven't discovered these two ginseng plants?"
Hong Lingliu raised her eyebrows slightly: "It means they have no connection with you!"
"Maybe..." The madman responded without comment, and then suddenly slapped his head: "...That's right! How could I forget such an important thing..." The madman blamed himself and whispered to himself: "...I want to
Go back and process these two ginseng plants first to prevent them from being damaged and losing their medicinal properties!" After saying this, he took a decisive step forward, leaving the three of them looking at each other.
After a long time, Dongfang Xuxiao found his voice: "As the saying goes, when you have a wife, you forget your mother; as for the madman senior..." Staring at the madman's back gradually disappearing from the sight of the three, Dongfang Xuxiao couldn't help but joke: "...
He, on the other hand, forgot about his wife when he had ginseng!"
