Chapter 225 Su Erqiang, the Scapegoat
Later, even Third Master Cao couldn't be saved. He passed away without saying a word.

None of the people who went up the mountain have returned.

Seeing Cao Sanye's miserable state, Su Jianjun only dared to send people to search for him near the foot of the mountain. After seven consecutive days of searching without success, Su Jianjun ordered his men to give up.

It's obvious that those who went in can't come back.

After this incident, Su Jianjun asked the villagers not to go into the deep mountains.

Perhaps because Uncle Cao looked too frightening, the villagers didn't discuss the matter much.

They all remembered this incident, and a cold sweat broke out on their bodies.

Especially Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang, who had experienced danger up close. Su Nuannuan also had this incident in her memory.

The original owner of this body only found out by overhearing Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting's conversation, and was so frightened that she developed a fever that night. Therefore, Su Nuannuan remembers this matter very clearly.

Aside from the Cao family's case, there were quite a few similar incidents of people being murdered in the back mountains a few years ago.

Su Daliang looked at Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang, who were both pale-faced, and said somewhat irritably.

"Luckily you two didn't encounter any wild animals. Otherwise, you would both be dead."

Su Erqiang swallowed hard, looking somewhat surprised and uncertain.

"Big brother, it seems like Nuannuan and I have encountered a wild beast."

Su Daliang: !!!

Su Sanquan: !!!

Su Daliang, who was initially relieved that Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang were lucky, suddenly widened his eyes.

Su Nuannuan felt that today was the most out of control her usually composed older brother had ever been.

Watching Su Erqiang recount how, after digging up ginseng, he sensed danger and frantically dragged Su Nuannuan away, Su Nuannuan shrank back, trying to avoid being noticed by Su Daliang.

Although her older brother is usually gentle and steady, he will be ruthless and punish her if she does something wrong.

After listening to Su Erqiang's fascinating story, Su Sanquan looked at Su Nuannuan, who was shrinking her neck, and gave her a meaningful smile.

After hearing this, Su Daliang clenched his fists.

He and Su Erqiang were brothers, and he knew very well how keen this guy's sense of danger was.

After hearing about Su Erqiang's dangerous experience and his thrilling escape, Su Daliang was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan panicked and quickly used her hand to help Su Daliang catch his breath, whispering words of comfort.

"Don't be angry, big brother. Second brother and I are safe now."

After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, she felt that Su Daliang was looking at her with anger.

Oh no, I think my older brother is even angrier now.

Although Su Sanquan was also angry, seeing Su Nuannuan's timid appearance, he shook his head and said.

"Nuan Nuan, let me do it. Go and pour a glass of water for your older brother."

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan gave Su Sanquan a fawning smile and quickly slipped away.

If Su Daliang only used his eyes to intimidate Su Nuannuan, then he dealt with Su Erqiang with a full-blown punch.

In terms of strength, Su Daliang was definitely no match for Su Erqiang. However, Su Erqiang always listened to Su Daliang. Moreover, Su Erqiang also felt that this matter was his fault.

Therefore, when he was being beaten, Su Erqiang did not fight back and let Su Daliang and Su Sanquan teach him a lesson.

Hearing her second brother's cries of pain, Su Nuannuan's heart pounded.

Su Nuannuan was incredibly grateful that she was a girl.

If it were a rough, tough guy like her second brother, Su Nuannuan didn't even dare to think whether she would see the sun rise tomorrow.

Su Nuannuan sighed inwardly, took three bowls from the cupboard, and poured three bowls of spiritual spring water into them. She intended to give them to her three older brothers to drink, hoping to calm them down.

Once the commotion had mostly subsided, Su Nuannuan carried the bowl over.

Su Nuannuan put on a fawning smile and handed the two bowls of water in her hands to Su Daliang and Su Sanquan.

Then she said to Su Erqiang.

"Second brother, go get the water yourself."

Upon hearing this, Su Erqiang glanced at Su Daliang and Su Sanquan with his eyes clearly bruised, then limped off to fetch water. Seeing her second brother's miserable state, Su Nuannuan gasped.

However, Su Nuannuan quickly corrected her attitude and placed the two bowls of water in front of Su Daliang and Su Sanquan.

"Big brother, third brother, you must be tired. Drink some water."

Su Daliang ignored Su Nuannuan, while Su Sanquan gave Su Nuannuan a disgruntled smile.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan quietly moved her hand to her thigh and pinched it hard. The intense pain immediately filled her brain, and Su Nuannuan didn't even need to pretend; her eyes filled with tears.

It hurts!

Fortunately, Su Nuannuan still knew the purpose of this trip.

Her eyes, brimming with tears, quickly turned to Su Daliang and Su Erqiang, and she said pitifully.

"Big brother, third brother, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Perhaps it was too painful, because Su Nuannuan's voice was trembling with tears as she spoke.

Hearing Su Nuannuan cry, Su Daliang and Su Sanquan, who were very protective of their younger sister, immediately turned around to comfort her.

Then, the two saw Su Nuannuan looking at them with teary eyes like a pitiful little thing, and their original intention to teach Su Nuannuan a lesson vanished instantly.

Su Sanquan went straight to Su Nuannuan's side and coaxed her.

"Nuan Nuan, don't cry, don't cry. It's not your fault, it's all your second brother's fault. Don't cry, when your second brother comes back, your third brother will help you get revenge."

Su Erqiang, who was about to enter, silently took a step back.

This was the first time Su Daliang had seen Su Nuannuan cry so pitifully, and his heart softened immediately.

He echoed Su Sanquan's words.

"Don't cry, don't cry, this time it's not your fault."

With the comfort of Su Daliang and Su Sanquan, Su Nuannuan finally stopped crying.

Actually, Su Nuannuan's thigh finally stopped hurting.

Su Nuannuan thought her thigh must be bruised.

After Su Nuannuan stopped crying, Su Daliang and Su Sanquan both breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Su Nuannuan didn't cry as loudly as before, her tearful appearance made them feel even more sorry for her.

Neither of them wanted to blame Su Nuannuan, so they both shifted the blame onto Su Erqiang.

Su Erqiang: ...

However, although Su Daliang and Su Sanquan were reluctant to scold Su Nuannuan, they still gave her a verbal reprimand. They also warned her not to go into the back mountain anymore.

Su Nuannuan did not object to this and obediently agreed.

With this ginseng, the Su family won't have to worry about money for the next few years.

A few years later, when Su Nuannuan is able to work and earn money, she won't have to be so restrictive when it comes to making things for the family.

After tidying up their younger siblings, everyone's eyes fell on the plump ginseng on the table.

At this moment, Su Daliang and Su Sanquan noticed just how fat the ginseng that Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang had brought back was!

Su Sanquan was very excited and said.

"Brother, this ginseng is huge, it must be worth a lot of money!"

Su Daliang nodded and said.

"Judging from its condition, it's probably a hundred years old."

Although Su Daliang had never seen a century-old ginseng, he had specifically learned some knowledge about ginseng.

Su Daliang was absolutely certain that even if this ginseng wasn't a hundred years old, it was close enough.

Su Nuannuan silently gave Su Daliang a thumbs up.

The plants in the Spirit Spring Space have a short growth cycle, especially since Su Nuannuan irrigates these ginsengs with Spirit Spring water every day, so the ginsengs naturally grow faster.

In reality, this ginseng would be called a century-old ginseng, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
