805: Qiao Yan gained nothing.

"Mine has three leaves. Is it twenty years old?"

"So this is what ginseng looks like. I've only heard the elders talk about it."

Qiao Yan listened from afar, feeling a little shocked.

What?

They found ginseng?

How could there be ginseng in this place? Their men and the comrades-in-arms from the neighboring division had patrolled here dozens of times, finding some medicinal herbs, but precious herbs like ginseng had never been discovered once.

Xiao Niannian and the others are too lucky, aren't they?

"Are you digging for ginseng?"

Hearing Qiao Yan's words, Xiao Niannian ignored him.

Lu Jing was also digging for ginseng, and Military Doctor Shen didn't want to bother with Qiao Yan either. It was Shen Yan who, hearing Qiao Yan's words, said proudly,

"Yes! We found a large patch of ginseng! I also dug up a ginseng root that's thirty to forty years old."

Shen Yan held up the ginseng in his hand and said proudly.

Thirty to forty-year-old ginseng? Is ginseng being wholesaled like cabbages now?

A large patch of ginseng?

He looked at the trees in front of him and saw many dug-up holes. How many ginseng roots did they dig up?

Several people were holding ginseng in their hands?

Qiao Yan felt like he was dreaming! He looked closely, and indeed, they were all ginseng!

Are these people here to wholesale ginseng? How did Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing find such precious ginseng in this mountain?

Xiao Niannian saw Qiao Yan's excited and jealous expression, and she wrapped the ginseng in cloth.

"These ginseng roots must be wrapped well with cloth..."

She looked at everyone and instructed.

"Okay."

Seeing that they all ignored him, Qiao Yan's gaze also swept around.

With so much ginseng, he also wanted to search. Maybe he could dig up a few roots.

Thirty to forty-year-old ginseng can also save lives. Those over fifty years old have even better medicinal effects.

"What's the oldest one you dug up?"

"Fifty years."

Military Doctor Shen replied, showing the ginseng in his hand to Qiao Yan.

Fifty years?

Military Doctor Shen had two roots in his hand.

What about Xiao Niannian?

Xiao Niannian was too lazy to bother with Qiao Yan and also wrapped up the two ginseng roots in her hand.

As for the other ginseng roots in this mountain, Xiao Niannian had quietly transferred them to her space. They could dig, but Qiao Yan shouldn't even think about it. These ginseng roots would have better medicinal effects after growing in her space for a while.

Qiao Yan looked around carefully but didn't even see a single ginseng root.

What's going on? Weren't they digging for ginseng? Wasn't there a large patch of ginseng? How did all the ginseng disappear? He only saw a large area of dug-up pits?

There were only six or seven of them here. Did they dig up all the ginseng?

Lu Jing handed the dug-up ginseng to his wife. His speed at digging ginseng was also very fast. He dug up one fifty-year-old root and one forty-plus-year-old root.

Everyone else's were twenty to thirty years old.

Shen Yan looked around. He seemed to have seen some small ginseng seedlings just now, but why couldn't he see them now? Did he see wrong?

Never mind, he had a thirty to forty-year-old root anyway. When he took it back to his Grandparents, they would surely be thrilled. This was different from other gifts; he dug it himself.

Thanks to Sister Xiao, she truly is his sister! If it weren't for Sister Xiao, he wouldn't have been able to dig up any ginseng.

Xiao Niannian looked at her watch and said,

"Once we're done digging, let's head back to the camp. It'll be time to cook soon."

Hearing this, Lu Jing immediately followed his wife and walked outside.

Military Doctor Shen and Shen Yan quickly followed. Meng Ning and Lin Shi also held the ginseng in their hands, overjoyed.

This was an unexpected joy. Captain Xiao said that these ginseng roots were theirs once they dug them up.

Although some of the ginseng roots were broken and not perfectly intact, their medicinal effects were the same.

Shen Yan wrapped up his things and put them in his backpack, saying happily,

"Captain Xiao, you are truly too kind. You even remembered us for such a good thing..."

Lu Jing glanced at Shen Yan, then looked at his wife.

Is it possible that his wife couldn't finish digging alone, so she called Old Shen, and as for Shen Yan, he was just an afterthought?

His wife is a generous person. If his wife dug these ginseng roots, they could be put to good use. If Old Shen dug them, they could also be put to good use.

The ginseng his wife bought at a high price before had been used for the injured during several rescue missions. Finding ginseng today was also excellent; it could save more people in the future.

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing. Their eyes met, and seeing the tenderness in Lu Jing's eyes, Xiao Niannian smiled.

Lu Jing quickened his steps and walked towards his wife.

"Go wash your hands and drink some hot water first."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.

Lu Jing took the backpack from his wife and put it on his own back.

Xiao Niannian went to the river, washed her hands first, then put on clean gloves.

Shen Yan did not publicize the matter of the ginseng when he returned to the team.

And Military Doctor Shen also took out some medicinal herbs and was processing them there.

Xiao Niannian took the hot water poured by Lu Jing, and after taking a sip, she felt much warmer all over.

Another half an hour passed, and then Qiao Yan walked over with his men.

Qiao Yan's face was very grim, but Xiao Niannian knew that Qiao Yan was like this because he had found nothing.

Qiao Yan looked at Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing, seeing them talking with their heads lowered, with a smile on Lu Jing's face. They weren't even pretending anymore? They were so close normally, didn't the people from other teams find it strange?

No one was gossiping?

However, although he and Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian were rivals, he would deal with them in other ways, but gossiping was too low-level a tactic.

His gaze met Lu Jing's, and seeing Lu Jing's cold expression, Qiao Yan's mood worsened.

This time, Xiao Niannian and the others discovered it early. Since there was ginseng in this vicinity, there must also be ginseng in other parts of the mountain.

"Captain Lu, Captain Xiao, it's time to eat."

Hearing the Cooking Squad members' words, Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing walked towards the Cooking Squad.

Although they only planned a one-day field training, they brought seven days' worth of food.

"This fish smells so good!"

"The comrades from the Cooking Squad brought chili peppers. It's so refreshing to eat chili peppers in this mountain."

There was plenty of firewood in this mountain, and they caught so many fish.

The Cooking Squad cooked half of the fish. Although there were only ten pots, the taste was excellent.

"The fish from this river is truly delicious."

The pot of fish Xiao Niannian was eating had even more spice than the others.

Drinking the fish soup and eating the fish maws, Xiao Niannian noticed that her bowl was full of fish maws.

Seeing his wife's surprised eyes, Lu Jing said,

"They know you like to eat this, so they put more fish maws in this pot."

Xiao Niannian smiled.

The fish was indeed delicious. After eating a large bowl of rice, her gaze turned to the distance.

Four or five hours had passed.

In a few more hours, the comrades coming to investigate should also arrive.
