Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1710 - 1311: Refusal to Accept

"Our little Dumpling is amazing, she actually poked a whole nest of ginseng!"

Jiang Yilin said this because, following Dumpling’s gaze, he looked about seven meters away and saw two more wild ginseng plants with red berries.

Dumpling: "Big brother, let’s be careful and dig them up to take home."

Ming Rui: "Okay."

With so many people, they had strength in numbers. Everyone dug very carefully, but since Dumpling, the other three, and Xi Jingyu were too little, the bigger kids didn’t let the four be involved.

But the four little ones watched from the side, their faces extraordinarily serious.

It took a little more than half an hour, and finally Ming Rui, Jiang Yilin, and the other older kids managed to dig up all five wild ginseng roots completely.

"Big brother, these two are huge!"

That was Tang Yuan’s voice. He stared at two wild ginseng roots as thick as his wrist, his eyes shining like they were filled with dazzling stars.

"Fifth brother, these three are big too!"

Pointing at the other three wild ginsengs, Guoguo blinked her big grape-like eyes and said in a childish voice, "They’re as thick as the carrot I ate raw yesterday. According to the description in Great Grandpa’s medical book, these three wild ginsengs must be a hundred or two hundred years old."

"So then, the other two must be at least three hundred years old?"

Ming Han suddenly piped up.

He actually spent quite a bit of time in Great Grandpa’s study reading, but he wasn’t all that interested in medical books, especially those old ones. Now, compared with his younger siblings, honestly, as a big brother he felt like a total country bumpkin.

—Couldn’t recognize wild ginseng, couldn’t tell its age. He was basically hopeless.

"Should we keep searching, or head down the mountain and go home?"

Ming Rui and Jiang Yilin carefully put the five wild ginseng roots into their backpacks. Then, Ming Rui asked Dumpling and the other three.

Guoguo was the first to speak: "Big brother, let’s catch two more rabbits!"

She meant she didn’t want to go down the mountain just yet.

"Okay."

Ming Rui replied.

At this moment, Xi Jingyu leaned over to Ming Han and said, "Bro, I’m so jealous of you, having a little lucky star brother!"

"You’re not secretly dissing little Yu, are you?"

As he spoke, Ming Han deliberately glanced at little Xi Chenyu.

Xi Jingyu immediately shook his head so fast it looked like a rattle: "How could I dare?! My little brother is the treasure of our family! If I ever dared diss him, Grandpa would whack me with his walking stick!"

Hearing that, Ming Han squinted at him and gave two words: "Serves you right."

"Bro, are you really going to sink our little boat of friendship like this?"

No doubt about it, Xi Jingyu learned this line from Ming Han.

"You and me are just plastic brothers, get it?"

Shooting Xi Jingyu a glare, Ming Han looked full of disdain.

Okay, he was totally joking around with his friend.

Xi Jingyu of course knew, so he played along with Ming Han, giving him a glare back: "Luckily you didn’t say plastic sisters—otherwise I’d end up with gender confusion because of you!"

"..."

Ming Han was stunned for a second, then went, "yuck!"

"You..."

Xi Jingyu glared.

"What about me?"

Ming Han looked all innocent.

"Forget it, I’m magnanimous, I won’t stoop to your level!"

Hmph, it was just something he said, not real gender confusion. As for someone going straight into a fake puking act, he just pretended not to see.

The group walked through the woods for another five or six minutes, when suddenly Guoguo squealed with delight: "Big brother, big brother, come quick, this lingzhi mushroom is huge!"

Before Ming Rui and the older kids could react, they heard little Tang Yuan giggle: "Wow! I found a giant lingzhi too!"

And at that moment Dumpling "whizzed" two small pebbles, knocking out two wild rabbits, one after the other.

Little Xi Chenyu went to help pick up the rabbits, but as he carried them back, he suddenly tripped on something.

Xi Jingyu rushed over in panic: "Xi Chenyu, are you okay?"

Shaking his head, little Xi Chenyu picked up what had tripped him, and Dumpling’s childish voice called out: "It’s fo-ti!"

That’s right, Dumpling instantly recognized that the thing Xi Chenyu was holding, which looked just like a wooden person, was the fo-ti he’d seen in Great Grandpa’s ancient medical book.

"Fo-ti?"

Xi Chenyu’s eyes opened wide as he stared right at Dumpling.

As if understanding what he was thinking, Dumpling explained with her soft voice the uses and effects of fo-ti, as well as its growth habits and appearance.

Xi Jingyu: "What’s up with today? First Dumpling finds a whole nest of wild ginseng, then Guoguo and Tang Yuan each discover huge lingzhi mushrooms, and now our Xi Chenyu picks up a rare treasure too. Why am I not this lucky?!"
