Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

He and Su Ruan are still together.

Lu Shuangshuang blinked repeatedly.

"Brother Yubai, didn't you say we were going to break up?"

Wen Yubai remained calm. "Yes, but I haven't shown my junior sister a real ginseng stem yet."

That seems to make sense.

It took her a moment to realize what was happening.

"But I haven't seen it either."

"Although I just saw Brother Zhang digging for ginseng, I didn't remember what the stem looked like at all."

Wen Yubai smiled gently, "Finding ginseng depends on luck."

"Since you have no experience, it's all about luck."

Lu Shuangshuang blinked.

Wen Yubai was right.

Dejected, Lu Shuangshuang went to try her luck on her own.

Feeling the death stare from her own brother behind her, Lu Shuangshuang pretended not to notice.

If you're so capable, why don't you come up here yourself?

Why are you instigating your sister?

Lu Yanci was panting heavily.

Lu Yanci found it himself.

He had carefully examined the stem of the ginseng from before.

The surrounding decaying leaves had all been cleared away, leaving only that bare stem, which was very conspicuous.

He stopped paying attention to other things and began searching seriously.

Inch by inch.

Time passed by unnoticed.

No one brought any good news.

Lu Yanci suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He seemed to see something that highly overlapped with his memories.

"Ruanruan, come here and take a look, is this a club?"

He called out softly, afraid that he might really startle the ginseng and let it escape.

Upon hearing Lu Yanci's shout, Su Ruan hurriedly retreated from her plot of land.

Wen Yubai's gaze was obscure, and he did not rush to come out.

He didn't think Lu Yanci was that lucky.

Most of them were just excuses to trick Su Ruan into being with him.

Stingy man!

He and his junior sister were clearly interacting normally, but this man acted like a jealous person.

They haven't even received their official status yet, but they're just waiting around like this every day.

He had just come out of that field.

Then they heard Su Ruan's exclamation.

"It really seems to be true."

"Senior brother, senior brother, come quick!"

After spending this time together, Su Ruan has gotten used to calling Wen Yubai "Senior Brother".

The main reason is that Wen Yubai kept calling her "Junior Sister," and she gradually got used to it.

Upon hearing Su Ruan's call, Wen Yubai quickly ran over.

He came to the area they had surrounded and squatted down.

Su Ruan's slender fingertips pointed to a thin, brittle stem.

The stem was so thin and weak that it seemed as if it would break at the slightest breeze.

Judging from its shape and color, it is most likely ginseng.

Although Wen Yubai felt a tightness in his chest, he still gently brushed aside the surrounding decaying leaves.

Once the rhizome emerged, it was completely confirmed that this was a ginseng plant.

Lu Yanci, who doesn't even know anything about herbs, actually stumbled upon a ginseng plant by accident.

Lu Shuangshuang was the happiest.

"So finding ginseng really does depend on luck. I'd like to find one myself!"

Lu Yanci scoffed, "Even if you found it, would you recognize it?"

Uh……

Lu Shuangshuang fell silent.

There's nothing special about this stem.

Aside from being a bit thinner and straighter, it has no hair.

Are the stems of other plants not the same?

Lu Shuangshuang took a deep breath; she refused to believe it.

"At worst, we can find all these stems and ask Sister Ruanruan to check them all!"

Su Ruan chuckled and shook her head.

This method isn't entirely unacceptable.

At the very least, after Lu Shuangshuang has done a rough screening, the probability of finding ginseng will be much higher.

"Alright, let's tie a red ribbon around this ginseng first, and then we'll mark it when Brother Zhang comes over later."

With Lu Yanci's discovery, everyone searched even more diligently.

Su Ruan did not spend time with Wen Yubai again.

She had just carefully examined the ginseng stem and its branching nodes; she would never mistake it again if she encountered it next time.

Four people, four plots of land.

Not long after, Su Ruan also discovered it.

Once you find a spot, be careful, because you might accidentally step on a rhizome hidden among the decaying leaves.

After leaving a mark, they moved to another location.

Their goal is not to find all the ginseng in this area, but to find which area might have ginseng.

After several attempts, Lu Shuangshuang actually found one.

When Su Ruan went to see it, she was amazed.

"Our Shuangshuang has such good eyesight."

The plant she found wasn't very obvious; it was small, and its stem was broken off, but she found it based on her keen intuition.

Not long after, the ginseng from Brother Zhang's side was finally completely extracted.

"Completed!"

Su Ruan glanced at the time; it had been a full two hours, comparable to a major surgery.

The group gradually withdrew from the woods.

I rushed over to admire the fresh, whole ginseng that Brother Zhang dug up.

"So many whiskers!"

This was Lu Shuangshuang's exclamation.

"It's in excellent condition."

This is Wen Yubai's judgment.

"Very valuable."

This is Lu Yanci's assessment.

"She looks very tired."

This is Su Ruan's rant.

Brother Zhang smiled.

"Luckily, this club tree only has four leaves. If it had five leaves, we might not even be able to get back tonight."

Lu Shuangshuang was extremely shocked.

"Will it take a whole day to dig?"

"Five leaves will most likely not be used for a whole day, but it's hard to say about six leaves."

"It takes the whole team to work together."

What does "五匹叶" mean?

"The year is probably over 80 years ago."

Lu Shuangshuang gasped, "Where are the six leaves?"

"A century or more ago."

Lu Shuangshuang looked at the not-so-large ginseng in front of her. "How old is this one?"

"I just examined it closely. This reed plant has fifty-two reed bowls, and there are several sections of reed piled up in the middle. I estimate it to be over sixty years old."

Lu Shuangshuang's eyes lit up.

Wild ginseng is so rare these days! Especially wild ginseng that has been around for a long time.

Even if it's only been a little over sixty years, it's still quite remarkable.

While he was explaining, Brother Zhang had already picked some moist moss and wrapped it around the entire ginseng plant, then wrapped it tightly with a layer of birch bark.

"Alright, now that we've finished making the ginseng buns, let's go check out the lampstand you found."

Lu Shuangshuang became even more excited when this was mentioned.

"I! I! I found it!"

After carefully tidying up the ginseng, Brother Zhang, led by Lu Shuangshuang, arrived at the place where she tied the red ribbon.

"That's good. Although it's still young, there might still be some left in this area."

"In a few years, it will be a good club again."

Lu Shuangshuang chuckled.

This time she was truly happy.

Sister Su Ruan just praised her for being great.

Brother Zhang marked the tree near the ginseng plant and tied a red ribbon to it before leading everyone to another location.

By the time all the locations were marked, it was getting late.

"Let's call it a day!"

Everyone had a great time today, and they were all in a good mood as they descended the mountain.

Apart from Wen Yubai.

He was the only one present who had gone into the mountains with his master to collect medicinal herbs and ginseng, but they didn't find a single one.

His luck wasn't this bad before.
