Chapter 44: Good luck
Old Lady Bai led Bai Dazhu, Mrs . Liu, and Bai Erzhu . The four of them went to Hu Changlin’s house on the east side of the village . When the villagers saw this, they knew there will be a good show . So, they stopped working and followed .
On the other side, Bai Zhi and Hu Feng arrived at Doctor Lu’s house . Doctor Lu was tidying up the dried medicinal herbs in his courtyard . Most of the dried herbs were personally collected up by him . Because after drying, he can sell them in the town . In this mountain village, doctors couldn’t earn much money . So, if he won’t sell some medicinal herbs, he wouldn’t be able to support his family .
“Lu Dafu, are you busy?” Bai Zhi stood outside the yard and warmly smiled at Doctor Lu .
When Doctor Lu looked up and saw that it was Bai Zhi and Hu Feng . He quickly got up and put down the basket in his hand . Then, he got up and asked: “Did your niang’s illness worsen?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “No, no, I have something to asked Lu Dafu . ”
When Doctor Lu saw Bai Zhi’s smile and the bag on her back . It didn’t take him long to understand what was happening . He smiled and waved his hand: “Come on in, and say it . ”
Doctor Lu pushed aside his basket and walked quickly to open the gate for the two people .
But, when Bai Zhi entered the yard, he whispered: “Lu Dafu, let’s go inside your house and talk . ”
Doctor Lu was stunned . Was it something that can’t be discussed in the courtyard? He can see that Bai Zhi’s face has this mysterious looked . So, he got curious . Doctor Lu nodded and said: “Okay, let’s go inside the house . ”
Doctor Lu’s house was not so big . It was not as big as the Bai Family’s house, but very neat and clean .
After entering the house, Bai Zhi closed the door with her own hand .
“What on earth did you bring for you to act so mysterious like this?” Doctor Lu smiled and asked .
Bai Zhi unloaded the bamboo bag on her back . Then, she took out the wild ginseng . She unwrapped the covered leaves and handed the ginseng directly to Doctor Lu’s hands: “Lu Dafu, what do you think about this wild ginseng?”
When Doctor Lu heard it was a wild ginseng, he was excited and immediately hold the wild ginseng . He had dug several wild ginseng in the mountain, but most of them were small . However, this wild ginseng in his hand, not only looked very good but also very big .
“This, this wild ginseng’s size and appearance are at least 100 years old!” Doctor Lu looked at the wild ginseng in his hand . He said it was almost 100 years, but more likely it was 1000 years old . He had seen such a big ginseng before . The pharmacy’s owner was not willing to sell it for a few thousand silver coins .
“Where did you get this from?” Doctor Lu asked anxiously .
Bai Zhi answered: “Today, Hu Feng and I went to the Luoying Mountain . I was originally looking for Selaginella . But as a result, I accidentally found this wild ginseng and brought it back to the village . ”
There was still a little fresh soil left on the wild ginseng . The stems and leaves on the top of it were still green . It was indeed newly dug out .
Doctor Lu looked envious: “You are very lucky ah . This was your first time on the Luoying mountain, but you dug out such a big treasure . I have been there many times . But, I only get ordinary medicines . I didn’t see any big wild ginseng . ”
Bai Zhi smiled and looked at Hu Feng beside her . Then, she smiled and said: “Not only me, I found it with Hu Feng . It is his good luck . Without him, I can’t survive in there . ”
