My Koi Sister is Three and a Half Years Old

Chapter 5 Digging Ginseng

“Brother, can we raise it?” The strange thing is that the little milk cat is obviously very defensive about Yan Langyan, but it is very affectionate towards Suisui.

 The little guy easily held it in his arms.

He spoke helplessly and looked at his sister dotingly: "Okay, as long as my sister is happy."

 I am a little poor, but it is not a big deal to keep a cat.

Xiao Suisui walked behind the two of them and secretly fed some milk into the kitten's mouth. The little kitten became more and more affectionate to her after it had eaten and drank.

"There are traces of prey, Suisui, please be careful." The second brother hung the pheasant on his waist and shouted hurriedly when he saw his sister lying on the edge of the trap watching.

Suisui glanced at the trap, it should be...

 Is it enough to eat?

Yan Lang glanced down, and his eyes suddenly widened.

 “Brother, there is a roe deer!” The third brother was so excited that he couldn’t explain clearly.

 There is meat, there is meat, there is meat! !

"Don't panic. The roe deer probably fainted after falling. It weighs about sixty or seventy pounds. There seems to be a pheasant underneath. It probably fell to death yesterday." Yan Lang's eyes were so bright that it was good to wait. Goods, even when the year is good, can be sold for five or six taels of silver.

 Even more so now.

Suisui fell to death while sitting on the haystack holding the milk cat? ?

No, no, no, she strangled two of them to death.

 She wants to eat meat.

Sitting on the hay at this moment, I can’t tell whether she is cuter or the cat is cuter.

“Guo Guo, I found a big radish. Fat family stewed radish to eat...” The little guy randomly picked it up from the space and wanted to eat pheasant and stewed mushrooms, but her mushrooms were all dry.

I could only pull out a carrot in disgust.

“Okay, okay, I’ll stew the radishes for you.” Yan Lang said in a loud voice in the trap, while the third brother Yan Ming was squatting next to him holding two pheasants and watching.

No one cared that my sister was carrying a "big carrot" in her hand.

Yan Lang climbed out of the trap, sweating profusely while carrying the fainted roe deer.

“It’s noon now and there aren’t many people coming out, so let’s go down the mountain quickly.” In this year of disaster, no one can avoid thinking about it.

Suisui hugged the cat and followed the two of them with a carrot in her hand.

As soon as the two of them came down the mountain, they heard the clatter of horse hooves in the distance.

Yanlang's whole body suddenly became tense. A few days ago, some villagers were returning from the town and were killed by bandits on the way.

Yan Lang cautiously pulled his younger siblings behind him. It was not a good idea to travel with great fanfare during the famine years.

 There were four guards in front of the carriage, each with a knife in their hand.

I don’t know how many young people were shocked.

The three of them huddled in the corner, but unexpectedly the carriage stopped.

“Brother, do you want to sell the wild roe deer in your hands?”

“My mistress is about to give birth, and this roe deer is the best for replenishing energy and blood. I wonder if I can part with him?” The carriage stopped on the road, and an old lady got out of the carriage.

 She looks like a nun from a rich family.

With a smile on her face, Mammy glanced at Yan Lang and saw that the toes of the young man's shoes were exposed. She thought that his life was not going as he wished.

Same, how many people can survive in this disaster year?

Yan Lang breathed a sigh of relief, but was still wary.

"For sale. I wonder what price you can offer? The drought in the mountains is severe and it is difficult to catch." Yan Lang often went to the town with his father to sell prey, so he knew the price.

"In previous years, this roe deer would only have five or six taels of silver."

"Now, how about I give you twenty taels?" The price of food is already three to five times that of money, and the money is no longer used as money.

 Yanlang was a little moved.

"Can I exchange for some food?" Yan Lang's eyes moved. There were so many bandits outside now that the food in the town had long been robbed.

Mammy gave him a high look.

"My wife is pregnant, and there is some food in the car, but not much." "There are only ten kilograms of millet and two hundred kilograms of white flour. There are also some pastries for filling the stomach, which are all fine things. How about this, I will give you ten taels of silver. I will leave all the rice and flour to you. "My wife needs to eat millet to nourish her stomach when she is pregnant, and even the lowest servants in the house will not eat brown rice.

 But what these poor families need most is to fill their stomachs, which is brown rice!

 “Change!” Yan Lang did not hesitate.

The town is about to be emptied out, so what can ten taels of silver buy? Nowadays, even if you have money, you can’t buy food.

 What you get in your hands is the real thing!

 Besides, based on the current situation, these things are probably far more than ten taels.

Mammy nodded, and she would be home in half an hour, but it didn't matter if she had a little food.

 “Change it for him, let’s make a good relationship.” The voice of the lady inside was a little weak, she had this baby...

Why.

Her husband-in-law has been on the battlefield for more than ten years, but she didn't even leave him a child.

I gave birth to a daughter that year. She was abducted three years ago and has never been found. Now it is difficult to conceive a child with great difficulty, but my husband is not sure whether he will live or die with the prince.

If this child is not a boy, I am afraid that the house will also fall into the hands of the second wife.

How willing is she?

This time I went out and found a lot of experts to check on the fetus, and they all said it was a girl.

Besides, she was not in good condition during the pregnancy, and it was not certain whether she would be able to give birth smoothly. Now I just hope that the capital can send a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng to see if it can hold this breath.

  Xiao Suisui’s little head popped up from behind her brother’s back, and her mother was surprised for a moment.

This child, both in appearance and demeanor, does not look like someone who could be raised in the countryside, and none of the legitimate daughters in the house can compare with him.

As soon as she looked over, the fair-skinned and beautiful little girl grinned at her with a bright smile.

Mammy touched a piece of fruit and handed it to her.

 “Take it and eat it.”

Xiao Suisui didn't show any stage fright. She stretched out her hand holding the carrot and took it, thanking her sweetly.

 Grandma lowered her head...

I saw a fat white lotus root-like ginseng...

　　Ginseng! !

Mammy’s breath was stagnant.

 “Girl, can the ginseng in your hand be sold?”! The old mama's voice was trembling. Madam's pregnancy was not good, and she had been looking for ginseng all the time but could not find it.

I have already sent a letter to the capital, but there has been no news for a month.

 “What ginseng?” Suisui looked at her blankly.

Seeing her eyes looking at the radish in her hand, she let out a suspicious sound, isn't this a radish? ? ?

Yan Lang took a closer look and took a breath.

 I suddenly remembered my sister’s words, I dug a big radish? ? ? !

“You, you, you call this a carrot??” Yan Lang’s voice was trembling.

 “It’s just a carrot.” Suisui shouted loudly.

 “It’s white and fat, and it still has carrot whiskers...” The little girl with baby fat retorted seriously!

She has a lot of space for this thing. Those rich people are stingy the more they get richer.

Many people gave her big radishes, and she had a basket of them.

 In order to eat more meat, she specially took a small one!

"Excuse me, young master, can I part ways with you? My wife is in urgent need of ginseng. If you can't decide, can you take me to meet your adults? The price is up to you." The old woman really thought about her son, and immediately got off the carriage. He gave a big salute to the three children.

Yan Lang pulled his younger siblings to avoid the gift.

Yan Lang's eyes flashed slightly, ginseng, it would be a disaster for the Yan family to hold it in their hands.

"How much price can you offer?" Yan Lang took a deep breath. He felt like he was stepping on the clouds, as if he was dreaming.

 He just took his sister up the mountain!
