Bai Zhi looked at the wild ginseng in her hands. If it was in the modern era, such a hundred-year-old wild ginseng will sell at least 200, 000 yuan.
In the 23rd century, there were farmers specialized in growing ginseng. They were growing an artificial ginseng but the price was still good. At most, the price was 100, 000 yuan per piece. And the real hundred-year-old ginseng has been dug and cut out by them. So, most likely, all the wild ginseng in the market were fake, which ordinary people couldn’t distinguish.
“Hu Feng, how much money can you sell this wild ginseng?” Bai Zhi asked.
Hu Feng shook his head again: “I don’t know.”
“Anyway, no matter what price we could sell it, we will divide it in half.”
Hu Feng raised an eyebrow. This little girl was generous. She thought he was protecting her, so she should give him half of the price. Hu Feng didn’t refuse, their family was too poor and also needed money.
Bai Zhi wrapped the ginseng in the leaves and put it inside her bamboo bag. She also put some common herbs on the top, so that when they went back, no one could see it.
Now, she and the Bai Family aren’t separated yet. If they learn this thing, will they let it aside? Obviously not.
The two of them went back on the same road. They were lucky enough because they came back early. On the way back, Hu Feng hunted two pheasants. Although it was not worth a lot of money, he could sell it if needed.
After going down the deep forest, they drank water at the stream. They dug the pit of yacon and washed all the remaining fruits to take it back.
There was a bamboo forest not far from Bai Zhi’s current place. Hu Feng went close to it and cut a bamboo that was thick as an arm.
After cutting, Hu Feng threw it in front of Bai Zhi and asked: “What do you want to do with it?”
Bai Zhi pointed her finger at the stream on the side and smiled: “Hu Bo and Niang are both working in the field. The weather is hot, so they must have drunk the water they brought. This water is very cold, it will alleviate the heat in their body.”
Hu Feng understood her meaning: “You are very careful.” He took the bamboo tubes and cleaned it before he filled it with the water stream. Then, he covered it with the leaves.
Bai Zhi’s bamboo bag almost become full. There were still injuries in her shoulders. So, every step she took was like torture.
Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and didn’t scream in pain, nor complain.
Hu Feng was originally walking in the front. He deliberately slowed down his footsteps, but the little girl still couldn’t keep up with his pace.
He stopped and turned to look at the slender figure, step by step walking towards him. Under the sunlight, her face was full of purple bruises and wounds. She lacks the tenacity of ordinary girls should have.
She was always frowning and biting her lips. Her hands were at the bottom of her back as if she was trying to relive some weight on her shoulders.
Despite this action, there were some traces of scarlet blood on the shoulder part of her dress.
Hu Feng wrinkled his eyebrows and quickly approached her. Then, he stretched out his hand and unloaded the bamboo bag on her back.
Bai Zhi looked up and stared at Hu Feng. Her sweat was almost covering her eyes, but the tall and fuzzy figure gave her a peace of mind.
“What are you doing?” Bai Zhi rubbed her aching shoulder and looked at Hu Feng inexplicably.
Hu Feng took out the pheasant from the cloth bag on his back and said: “You hold this, I will carry your bag.”
Hu Feng was originally carrying two big gray rabbits, two pheasants, a thick green snake and a bag full of yacon fruits. Adding them all, he was carrying a much heavier stuff than the little girl. But now, he was also carrying her bamboo bag on his back.
Hu Feng didn’t say another word, he just turned and walked away.
