It's quiet at night.
The doors of the Su family's small courtyard were closed tightly, and even the door of the main room was closed tightly. They were worried that light would leak through the cracks in the door, so the Su family used cloth curtains to cover the gaps tightly.
A small fire was lit in the room for lighting.
Several children have already fallen asleep.
The adults of the Su family sat in a circle, staring at the things in front of them in a daze.
I was too excited and nervous during the day and was in a hurry to hide the things, so I didn't have time to take a closer look at them.
The surroundings were quiet for a while, and the family relived the feeling of blood boiling during the day as they secretly put things out without being noticed.
Let’s talk about the ginseng first. It is as long as an adult’s forearm, with many roots and hairs. The hairs are densely covered with beads and are still stained with mud. They are as fresh as if they were just pulled out of the ground.
There is also the lotus as big as a fist, with jade-white petals so thin that they are almost transparent, with purple stamens in a blooming posture. It is pure and pure, so beautiful that people dare not reach out and touch it.
There is also the crimson Ganoderma lucidum, which is bright in color. Although it does not look big, it weighs a lot.
Even though they had already seen it once during the day, Old Man Su and the others were still breathless and anxious at this moment, let alone Liu Yuelan and other women.
"This is the first time in my life that I have seen ginseng and Ganoderma with my own eyes...it turns out it looks like this..." Su Xiuer murmured in a low voice, feeling dizzy.
He Daxiang, "If these things are sold for money, won't it be enough for our family to have food and drink for a lifetime?"
Liu Yuelan was not so optimistic, "Who can we sell to? We can't enter the border town, and we don't dare to go to Fengyun City. And taking these things out will be like exposing the money to the bandits. Then our whole family will be in danger."
Mrs. Su nodded in agreement and said thoughtfully, "I have to sell it. Otherwise, if I don't know how to keep these things in my hands, it would be a waste if they break. But you have to find a way to sell them, and you can't be reckless."
Their family now needs a lot of money to tide them over.
Not to mention anything else, let’s talk about food.
Although the family is not hungry during this period, it is not possible to eat big meals of fish and meat. They have not eaten rice or noodles in nearly two months, which is not a good thing.
The adults were happy and sad in the main room, unaware that the little girl in the bedroom had listened to all their words.
Tianbao sat next to the space field, holding his chin in his two little hands, looking at the large field of flowers and plants in front of him.
These things that she regarded as food could be exchanged for a lot of money.
But it's useless to exchange a lot of money. Looking at the grandpa, grandma, father and mother, they are so worried that they can't even sleep.
Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and white lotus are not as useful as a few large radishes.
Tianbao pursed her lips and wrinkled her little eyebrows, how could she help grandpa and grandma?
The night is getting darker.
The people in the main room were thinking hard and had no choice but to put things aside for the time being and go back to their rooms to sleep.
Tianbao also came out of the space, took a sip of food, and fell asleep peacefully smelling her mother's breath.
I don't know how long I slept, but I heard movement in my ears.
"Boss, why are you dragging me here? Are you sneaking around and being a thief?" It was Su Er's voice.
Tianbao's eyelids moved and he figured out that the direction was probably in the corner of the kitchen.
Soon her father's voice floated over, "Second brother, I plan to go to Fengyun City myself to see what's going on in the city -"
Before he could finish his words, Su Er hurriedly interrupted, "Are you crazy?! Do you know where Fengyun City is? Is that something we can go to!"
"We can't just stay at home and wait to die! Besides, I'm just going for a walk and then coming back. No matter how dangerous Fengyun City is, the people inside can't just beat and kill anyone they see. Otherwise, there are still people who dare to do business there?"
"...Okay, if you want to go, I'll go with you. Let's break into the dragon's pool and the tiger's den together! Ouch! Why are you hitting me!"
"Shut up, stay at home! In addition to the medicinal materials, Tianbao also brought out a lot of saplings. I recognize that several of them are fruit saplings. You and your parents are thinking about it at home, aren't we going to farm?" If there are no crop seeds, you can still plant fruit trees! That’s it!”
Tianbao didn't listen to what was being said outside. He slowly opened his eyes and looked out the window.
Light filtered through the gaps in the curtains made of thorn strips. It was gray and it was almost dawn.
She turned her head again and looked at the young woman who was still sleeping soundly next to her. Under the hazy light, the young face had soft lines and delicate and elegant features. However, the woman's eyebrows were lightly furrowed and she was worried in her sleep.
Tianbao stretched out his hand to reach between the woman's eyebrows, trying to smooth out the wrinkles between her eyebrows.
The woman was disturbed, so she grabbed it with her little hands and put it into the quilt. She didn't open her eyes the whole time, "Sweetie, sweetie, go to sleep, mother is here..."
After a gentle murmur, the woman continued to sleep.
Only then did Tianbao notice that there was a tired blue color under her mother's eyes.
There was a slight sound on the door, and a tall man walked in. He was worried about disturbing the sleeping people in the room, so he walked very lightly.
When he reached the bedside, Su Da's eyes fell on his wife's face, pity, reluctance, and guilt intertwined.
When he was about to turn around and leave, his eyes went wrong and he met the eyes of his daughter who didn't know who the god was.
The baby's eyes were round and clear, and she was looking at him steadily.
Su Da, "..." felt guilty for no reason, as if he had been caught as a thief.
This guilty conscience only lasted for a moment, and Su Da felt at ease again.
My daughter is four months old, has just sprouted two small teeth, and can’t speak yet. What is she vain about?
Thinking of this, Su Da's eyes softened, he leaned over his wife, kissed his daughter's little face gently on the sleeping side, and said in a breathy voice, "Sweetie, sweetie, go to sleep. When dad is done with his work, he will come back to accompany you in the evening." Play."
After saying that, he stood up gently.
Didn't work.
His daughter's little paws grabbed the hem of his clothes.
He tried to break it with his hands, but it didn't move. He didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting his daughter's little finger.
"Bao'er, be good, let go, dad has to go to work!"
Don’t let go of Sweet Baby.
Busy?
What about lying to the baby?
She opened her small mouth and made a mouth shape.
"I."
"go."
Su Da, "...what?"
"Take me there." Tianbao's black eyes lit up. Oh, it doesn't matter if she can't speak yet, she can lip-sync!
Sweetie is so smart!
"..."
When Su Da suspected that he was dazzled, he noticed that a small purple flower suddenly appeared in the palm of his daughter's other free hand.
He blinked and the little flower disappeared from his daughter's hand.
In the blink of an eye, the little flower appeared in her daughter's hand again.
"..." If he hadn't known that the person in front of him was his own daughter, Su Da would have suspected that he had seen a ghost.
It’s okay if you can pull something out of thin air.
How can you still retract and release it freely?
Bao, you have to thank your father for being brave enough!
Tianbao's little mouth moved and she said three silent words, "Take me there."
At the same time, his little hand patted his chest.
Su Da understood that her daughter learned this move from the three kids at home, which means "I am good at it".
"..."
On a bright day, the door of the Su family courtyard quietly opened.
A tall figure of a man walked out, wearing a sling around his body and carrying his little cub in his arms. He left the small courtyard under Su Er's sad eyes.
Father and daughter face off for the first time, and the father is completely defeated.
