After becoming the master, several children discussed seniority again, and everyone wanted to be the senior brother.
Daniel said of course: "I entered the sect first, so I should be the senior brother."
Mantang felt unconvinced that he was so young and should be regarded as his senior brother: "I have been practicing with the master a few days ago. You just joined the master today. You should be the junior brother. I am the senior senior brother."
The other people watched the two arguing. In terms of age, they were younger than Mantang.
In terms of qualifications, it was indeed the master who had the upper hand. Since they had neither advantage, they had no choice but to lean back.
Ye Yutong kept laughing behind them, thinking that these children were so cute. They had not even started practicing martial arts yet, but they were already vying for the position of senior brother.
She glanced at Ping An. The boy was walking with an expressionless face. Not to mention, he really looked like a master.
Several people argued for a long time but couldn't come up with a clue, so Ye Yutong helped them come up with ideas.
"How about you compete in martial arts, and whoever wins becomes the senior brother?"
Daniel was the first to stand up and object, "Sister Tongtong, the martial arts competition is too unfair. Cousin Man is older than me and has been practicing martial arts for several days. How can I beat him?"
Ye Yutong asked funnyly: "Then what do you think we should do? If you can't beat others, and you want to be a senior brother, then the whole hall won't do it either!"
Daniel scratched his head, lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "How about this? Let's draw lots, and whoever catches it will be the senior brother."
Only then did Li Yunze speak: "You all want to be a senior brother, right? Then I will give you one year to practice martial arts well during this year.
A year later, in the martial arts competition, whoever wins will be the senior brother, and then everyone will be ranked according to their ability. "
Mao Dan and Ye Song's eyes lit up after hearing this. They originally thought there was no hope.
They didn't expect to be able to compete in martial arts in a year, so they should practice hard and compete for it then.
Even if you can't be the boss, you still have to be the second or third child, but you must not be ranked last, otherwise it will be embarrassing.
Mantang and Daniu were also very confident and looked at each other and said "hum".
I secretly made up my mind to practice with my master from today on.
You must defeat the other junior brothers, so that you can become their senior brothers.
Ye Yutong was really impressed by Ping An now. This guy was really capable and could control people's hearts. He was a leader.
Because they had become masters today, the children were very excited. They were chirping along the way, plus the chirping of birds and cicadas, which made Ye Yutong's ears hurt.
In the afternoon, they passed a pool with crystal clear water and fish swimming in it.
Several children rolled up their trousers in excitement, took the baskets and went into the water to catch fish.
Yongchang and Wencai were strengthening the cart, while several women were digging green wild vegetables nearby.
Maodan’s grandma said happily: “This place is really nice. There is water, wild vegetables, and fish in the river. What do you think we can settle down here?”
Li Wenxiu put a handful of wild vegetables in the basket and said worriedly: "Auntie, let's walk further in! It seems that the situation at the bottom of the mountain is not good. If it gets really chaotic, those victims will definitely go into the mountain."
Yongchang's wife agreed and said: "Sister-in-law Wenxiu is right. There is nothing to eat at the foot of the mountain. Those victims will definitely take risks like us when they are hungry and come up to look for food. It is definitely not safe for us to settle here."
"Oh, I didn't think so much. Then let's walk further in, to the depths of the mountain, and stop where there is no one around."
Ye Yutong looked at the big fish he caught and thought about how to make them delicious.
How about simmering the soup to make a milky white fish soup, which is nutritious and satiating, and will replenish the body of these little beans.
It makes people feel distressed to see them all as thin as bean sprouts.
"Uncle Yongchang, Uncle Wencai, the sun is almost setting. How about you rest here for the night?"
Yongchang looked up at the sky and said, "That's fine, we're already in the mountains anyway, so don't be in a hurry. Just walk slowly from now on, so as not to tire you children."
Then he said to Li Yunze and Ye Mingxuan: "You go around the area and see where it is suitable for us to settle down tonight."
The two came out of the pool, put on their straw sandals, and went to find a place to sleep for the night.
Ye Yutong had nothing to do, so he followed them, ready to look around to see if he could find any medicinal materials and move them to the space.
Before traveling through time, she had researched the physical characteristics and medicinal value of various medicinal materials on the Internet.
She also bought a lot of medicinal seeds online, but she didn’t know what happened. It took so long to plant them but they didn’t grow. It was a waste of her time and energy, and she still had a huge piece of land.
Let’s clear out the land in the evening, plant cotton, and make cotton-padded clothes and quilts in the winter.
The temperature in the mountains is definitely lower than down below, so you need to prepare warm things in advance.
Looking at the geographical location, Lingnan Mountain is a bit like the modern Qinling Mountains, but it is not exactly the same.
According to the news from Ping An and his eldest brother, the temperature here is lower, the climate is changeable and complex, and there is snow on the top of the mountain all year round. Just think about it and you will know how cold it is.
"Tongtong, don't run away, go and rest for a while."
Ye Yutong reacted and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm not tired."
The three of them looked around the area, but couldn't find a cave suitable for living.
Ye Mingxuan said disappointedly: "I may have to sleep outdoors tonight."
"It's okay. I took a look just now. There are no traces of large beasts here. Just light a few more fires at night." Li Yunze reassured him.
"That's all. Let's go collect some more firewood!"
The two walked a few steps and saw that Ye Yutong was still standing there. Ye Mingxuan shouted: "Tongtong, what are you looking at?"
"Brother, brother, what do you think this is?" Ye Yutong's voice trembled with joy.
"What? It makes you happy."
Ye Mingxuan walked over and saw the five-leaf plant. He opened his eyes wide and said excitedly: "Human, ginseng, is this ginseng?"
In fact, he had never seen what ginseng looked like. He had heard his father describe the shape of ginseng before.
He asked them to dig out any ginseng they encountered on the mountain, and also told them the techniques for digging ginseng.
Ye Yutong nodded excitedly. She just came to try her luck. She never expected that her luck would be so good.
This ginseng must be quite old. The red fruits on it look very old and could be used as seeds. There are five or six small ginseng plants nearby.
Li Yunze went to the carriage and got a hoe. When he was about to dig, Ye Yutong hurriedly told him: "dig gently, don't hurt the roots, I want to plant."
"okay, I get it."
After digging out the big one, Ye Yutong quickly placed it in the space and asked Li Yunze and Ye Mingxuan to dig out the smaller ones.
Four more small plants were dug up, and the remaining two were left untouched. Ginseng pickers all know that if you find a nest of ginseng, you must have one or two plants left, and you cannot dig them all.
Ye Yutong doesn't quite understand this truth, but he also knows that the rules must be followed.
Besides, she already got the biggest one and couldn't be greedy anymore.
Didn't the ancients often say: If everything is complete, it will be lacking, if it is extreme, it will be reversed, and if it is surplus, it will be lost.
There is some truth to this.
