Chapter 4 Is it possible that this is not a carrot?
"Nannan, come here quickly, there are eggs here!"

Looking at Lin Nan who was excitedly trying to catch the pheasant with his little hands, Lin Xin called him with a smile.

"coming!"

"Wow! So many pheasant eggs, enough for us to eat for a long time." Lin Nan said to Lin Xin happily.

"Well, put it away quickly! Let's find a place and I'll stew some bird eggs for you."

"Okay." Lin Nan seemed to be very experienced in picking pheasant eggs. He first pulled out a few clumps of weeds to pad the bottom of the backpack, then carefully placed the pheasant eggs on the weeds, and finally picked up a few large leaves to cover them, then stood up and looked at Lin Xin.

"Nannan is awesome!" Lin Xin has always been generous with her praise for good kids.

"Hehe!" Lin Nan smiled embarrassedly, his little face flushed with excitement.

"Let's go find some water and I'll make you something delicious."

"it is good."

The brother and sister walked through the woods in a coordinated manner. Lin Xin would occasionally pluck handfuls of weeds from the ground and throw them into the backpack. Every time she threw something, Lin Nan would look at her hesitantly, wanting to say something. Finally, she spoke in a troubled tone, "Sister, what are you doing with that weed? It's inedible."

Can't eat it? Lin Xin narrowed her eyes slightly. Perilla, cilantro, chives, vanilla, and lemongrass are all inedible? God, the people in this world really don't know what's good.

"Don't worry, Nannan. I've tried all of these and they're all edible. You'll know when I make them later."

"Sister, sister..." Hearing Lin Xin say this, Lin Nan's big eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of mist, and he choked and called her sister.

In the past, every time I cooked a meal, my sister ate very little. When I asked her, she said she had eaten in the mountains. It turns out that she only eats wild grass?

"Sister, I will definitely treat you well when I grow up. I will make a lot of money to support you." Little Lin Nan made up his mind and said to himself silently.

Lin Xin was confused as to what the little guy was imagining. How could the child start crying after just one sentence?

"What's wrong?" Lin Xin picked up Lin Nan and asked.

"No, I just think it's great to have a sister. I like my sister so much." Lin Nan hugged Lin Xin's neck and said embarrassedly, and wiped away his tears with the clothes on Lin Xin's shoulders.

"Yeah, sister likes Nannan too." After comforting the child, Lin Xin found a not-too-deep pool of water, put Lin Nan down and started to prepare food.

With pheasant, seasoning, water, mud and leaves, isn't beggar's chicken ready?

While the chicken was marinating, Lin Xin assigned Lin Nan a task: "Nannan, you stay here and watch over the pheasants. I'll go over and gather some firewood. You just wait patiently. I won't be going far. If anything happens, just yell, okay?"

"Yeah, I get it. You go ahead, sister! I will definitely keep a good eye on the pheasants!" Lin Nan patted his chest to show that he was also very capable.

Lin Xin smiled, scratched his little nose, and walked away with the backpack on her back.

She had to complete her herbal medicine project, and it wouldn't be easy to do it with Lin Nan watching. She walked around a fork in the road, choosing a spot where she could see Lin Nan by standing on tiptoe. She put down her backpack and began searching for seeds in the space.

"Where is it? This one isn't it, and this one isn't it either. Ah! I found it!" After picking and choosing from a large bag of seeds for a long time, Lin Xin finally found what she wanted. She took one in her hand and began to induce labor.

Enshrouded in a green glow, the seed quickly began to sprout, produce leaves, bear fruit, and then wither. A plump, white ginseng appeared in Lin Xin's palm, almost as thick as a baby's arm, with thick, twisted roots.

Lin Xin looked at it with satisfaction, as if she was looking at a large sum of silver. She put some mud on the ginseng, picked up a few dead branches and stuffed them into her backpack, then wrapped the ginseng with a large leaf and went back.

Lin Nan obediently guarded the pheasant, occasionally glancing in the direction where Lin Xin had left. When he saw his sister appear, his big eyes lit up, and he ran over to hold Lin Nan's clothes, "Sister, sister, you're back!"

"I'm back. Nan Nan, come and see what your sister found." Lin Xin put down the backpack and showed him her results.

"Sister is so amazing. She found so much firewood that it will last for a long time. Hmm? What is this? A radish? Why does this radish look so strange?" Lin Nan dived into the backpack and looked through the items inside one by one like a little housekeeper. Finally, he asked the ginseng a soul-searching question.

Lin Xin: “······” Is it possible that this is not a carrot?
"Nannan," it was rare for her sister to speak to her in this tone. Lin Nan also frowned and looked at Lin Xin seriously.

"Pfft!" Lin Xin was amused by his little expression. "Don't be so serious. I just want to tell you that this thing is much more valuable than a carrot. After we finish eating the chicken, let's go to town and sell it. We can use the money to buy Nan Nan some delicious food and some clothes, okay?"

"Okay, I'll buy one for my sister too." Lin Nan is a good boy who shares happiness with his sister.

"Yeah, sister has them too, everything." Lin Xin once again marveled at the child's understanding, and he was really not a naughty kid at all.

Hehe, it’s mine, I raised it.

Inexplicably proud!

There is not much meat on the pheasant itself, but fortunately the brother and sister don’t eat much, so it’s just right for them to share.

After eating and destroying the body, Lin Xin put away the ginseng and carried Lin Nan down the mountain.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, we ran into a few villagers who were also in the mountains collecting firewood.

"Xin, you're out early!" A plump woman looked critically at the branches in Lin Xin's backpack, curled her lips and said, "You've only gathered a few firewood this early in the morning and you're already back? And you brought your brother with you? I'm not saying anything harsh on you, but he's the only child left in your family, and you're bringing him into the mountains with you. If anything happens to him, how are you going to explain to your dead parents?"

Lin Xin narrowed her eyes. There was only the plot in her mind. The original owner had very few memories, nothing else except Lin Nan and the people in the old house, so she didn't recognize who this person was. But it didn't affect her bad impression of this person. Don't think she didn't see the malice hidden in her eyes when she looked at Lin Nan.

"Yeah, isn't Auntie up pretty early too? Could it be that you got up so early just to pollute the air?" Is Lin Xin the kind of person who would suffer a loss? She definitely isn't!

"What, what about polluting the air? What do you mean? You're so young and yet you keep saying these incomprehensible things. No wonder your third aunt is worried about leaving Nan Nan with you. I'm afraid she'll raise someone as clueless as you." Although the eldest aunt didn't understand what Lin Xin meant, she instinctively felt that it was not a good thing, and immediately turned hostile and started cursing.

A young wife who was with her couldn't stand it anymore. She glared at the fat aunt and said, "Aunt Lin, you're being nosy again. How the little girl wants to raise her brother is her own business. Besides, don't you see what his third aunt is up to? Why are you so nosy? Have you forgotten the lesson from last time?"

"You!" Aunt Lin wanted to scold the young wife again, but she didn't know what she thought of, so she opened her mouth and closed it again.

Lin Xin understood, this is bullying the weak and fearing the strong!
