70: Raising a wife, the whole village is inhaling the aroma of stewed meat.

Moreover, his strength is extremely high.

The tree from yesterday weighed approximately 1600 jin (800 catties).

He easily carried it home.

Therefore, the force with which he swung his hand was enough to kill an ordinary prey!

Zhou Qingwen picked up the rabbit, hung it on the tree, peeled off the skin, and put the skin in a black bag.

They gutted the rabbit, took it, and went home.

After returning, the father and son went up the mountain together again. After walking for an hour, Zhou Feitian sat down, and Zhou Qingwen quickly gathered firewood, then lit a fire with matches and roasted rabbit meat to eat.

I boiled some spring water and drank it, and that made me full for lunch.

I searched for a long time in the mountains in the afternoon, but I couldn't find any wild ginseng.

Zhou Qingwen then said, "Dad, I'll go prepare dinner. You can rest!"

Zhou Feitian nodded slightly: "Okay."

Zhou Qingwen walked a few meters over and looked in that direction. Because of the slight reflection of the sunlight, he could see something fleshy.

"Hey! Dad! Come up here right now!"

Zhou Feitian immediately ran over: "What happened? Are you in danger?"

"No! Dad, look at that!"

Zhou Feitian looked in the direction Zhou Qingwen was pointing and exclaimed, "Wow! Wild ginseng! It even has five compound leaves!"

Zhou Feitian immediately approached carefully, gently tied the red rope to the ginseng, and carefully guided it.

Then he said, "Quick, get the tools!"

Zhou Qingwen immediately brought over the small basket he had prepared: "Dad, you dig, I'll keep watch here in case any wild beasts come. You focus on digging for ginseng, leave everything else to me!"

"Okay, sure!"

As Zhou Feitian dug, he carefully watched the length of the ginseng's whiskers.

Even the slightest damage during ginseng harvesting can greatly diminish its appearance and medicinal efficacy.

Therefore, ginseng is dug up little by little, and those who are not calm in their minds cannot find it.

Even if you manage to dig it up, it will damage the ginseng.

That's a useless ginseng; it doesn't have much value.

Zhou Qingwen dared not interrupt Zhou Feitian's attention.

Digging for ginseng requires a burst of energy, constantly sweeping away the soil, because if it rains, the ginseng might escape.

Especially aged ginseng; in an instant, it seems to possess a spirit and disappear without you noticing.

It feels like you're dreaming; it just disappears in the blink of an eye.

After digging for a full half day, Zhou Feitian finally extracted the ginseng and examined it carefully, saying, "This ginseng is 25 years old! Selling it will earn me at least 3000 yuan!"

Zhou Qingwen felt a surge of excitement and took a deep breath: "Dad, our family is rich!"

Zhou Feitian was extremely focused while digging for ginseng.

Zhou Feitian carefully wrapped the whole ginseng in a soft red cloth, gently placed it in the wooden box, and then gently closed the lid.

He then hung it in his bosom: "Qingwen, let's not go hunting anymore, I'm afraid of damaging the ginseng."

"Okay, let's rest for a bit and head back first thing tomorrow morning."

That night, Zhou Feitian slept while holding the box of ginseng.

清早

Zhou Qingwen heated up the rabbit from yesterday, tore off a piece and ate it, while Zhou Feitian ate as well.

He drank some water, extinguished the fire, and repeatedly poured water over the ground to make sure there wasn't a single spark left before leaving.

I walked home with extra caution, and it took me two days to reach the village.

This time, there was no hunting, and the villagers greeted him even more warmly.

Zhou Qingwen had returned from hunting several times before, which made the villagers extremely envious.

Will you return empty-handed this time?

Half the villagers were happy!

Seeing the villagers, Liu Yue'e said resentfully, "Tch, who are they? You didn't catch any game, and look how excited they are, one by one trying to comfort you. They think you should work hard to earn work points if you didn't catch any? Didn't they see how much meat we have in the kitchen! So much meat! Humph!"

Zhou Feitian said in a low voice, "Quickly, gather everyone in the family and have a meeting."

Liu Yue'e was startled and said, "Okay, I'll go call them right away!"

Not long after, the eldest brother, the second brother, the eldest sister-in-law, and the second sister-in-law who had been away returned.

"What's wrong? Why did you have to come back at this time? I'm almost at full marks on my work points."

The eldest brother muttered something as soon as he entered the gate.

My second brother also said, "Mine is too."

Zhou Feitian's expression tightened as he said, "You two won't be doing your work points for now. Tonight, you two brothers will take turns keeping watch, one upstairs and the other downstairs. The third brother has gotten himself into big trouble!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Qingwen: "What big thing?"

The eldest brother asked first.

"The third brother found a 25-year-old ginseng in the mountains!"

A long, rectangular box was placed in front of everyone. It was gently opened, and Zhou Feitian carefully and slowly unwrapped a piece of red cloth.

The ginseng is clearly visible, and it is of very high quality.

The woman asked excitedly, "How much will this sell for?"

Zhou Feitian took a deep breath: "This will sell for at least 3000 yuan!"

The older sister-in-law's eyes widened in disbelief: "So many!"

Second Sister-in-law swallowed hard: "Oh my god! So much!"

The eldest brother said with a smug look in his eyes, "Third brother, you're really something!"

The second brother said, "Now, the third brother is the most capable in the family! One job he did is more than I earned in ten years!"

"Second Brother, stop with the envy. We're family, and this wild ginseng is for everyone. I might take the lion's share, though! Is that alright?"

Everyone excitedly exclaimed, "No problem!"

Zhou Feitian took a breath and said, "It's true that the third brother found this wild ginseng, so it's only right that he takes the lion's share. Don't be discouraged, you guys. The money from selling the ginseng will be distributed tomorrow after we sell it. But let's make it clear that before we divide the family property, your mother will keep this money! Any problems?"

The whole family said, "No!"

Who would dare to have a problem?

If there's a problem, just don't give him any money!

Zhou Feitian carefully carried the ginseng into the house and placed it on a clean table.

Then he carefully locked the room door.

That room was never locked before, but it was locked today!

Zhou Feitian would always stay by the door of that room when he ate.

They were afraid that something might happen to the ginseng.

Zhou Feitian stayed up all night and didn't sleep well.

The eldest and second eldest brothers took turns keeping watch at night.

Zhou Qingwen, on the other hand, slept very comfortably.

Perhaps because of his identity as a time traveler, the ginseng's value of three thousand yuan wouldn't cause him sleepless nights.

However, the rest of the Zhou family couldn't sleep that night.

Those outside who saw the dark circles under their eyes were all delighted.

At least half the villagers were secretly laughing.

The other half is Weiwei, who is worried.

Only Zhou Qingwen's family members knew why they were suffering from insomnia.

That was so that after selling the ginseng, they would know how much money they would get as a share.

That's why I'm so excited I can't sleep!

Liu Yue'e was the same; she didn't sleep all night.

Early in the morning, Zhou Qingwen and Zhou Feitian had breakfast and set off early.

Zhou Qingwen told Zhou Feitian not to sell it in town.
