<h4>Chapter 1736: The Protagonist’s Strong Luck</h4>


    Ning Shu saw that there were still two medicinal herbs she needed missing from the pack basket. She said to Chen Li, “Let’s look around a little longer, we’ll return at noon.”


    “What a great find.” Ning Shu was pleasantly surprised when she unexpectedly saw ginseng.


    As soon as Ning Shu stopped speaking, someone stepped on the ginseng. Ning Shu raised her head and saw Fang Yong who was carrying two rabbits and a pheasant.


    Ning Shu: …


    She thought she had been lucky toe across ginseng, but it turned out to be the protagonist’s strong luck.


    Fang Yong did not expect to meet Chen Ermei here. When he saw Chen Ermei looking at him, he asked Chen Li, “Why did youe to the mountains?”


    “I came here with Ermei,” Chen Li said while wiping his sweat.


    “Could you move your feet?” Ning Shu asked Fang Yong.


    Fang Yong took a step back and Ning Shu saw the ginseng leaf that had been trampled on. She was instantly distressed, even the leaves of the ginseng were valuable.


    Ning Shu knelt on the ground, holding the sickle, and started to carefully dig the ground bit by bit in fear of breaking the roots of the ginseng.


    Ginseng with intact roots were more valuable.


    Fang Yong narrowed his eyes, “Is this ginseng?”


    “Ermei, is this really ginseng!?” Chen Li asked in surprise, his expression looked as if he had found gold.


    Even someone like Chen Li, who wasn’t knowledgeable in medicinal herbs, knew ginseng. In any case, ginseng was valuable. Very valuable.


    Ning Shu ignored both of them. She cautiously and carefully squatted, knelt, and thenid down in order to dig up the ginseng. She kept digging until her whole body was covered in sweat.


    Seeing how Ning Shu was exhausting all her efforts, Chen Li fanned Ning Shu with his clothes. Fang Yong stood at the side and waited.


    It took almost two hours for Ning Shu to dig out the ginseng. This ginseng was about the size of Ning Shu’s pinkie finger and had dense roots. The roots were intact and undamaged.


    Ning Shu let out a long breath, her body felt numb from fatigue. She had used all of her concentration and her muscles became stiff after two hours of staying still. This was more tiring than having a fight.


    “It’s really ginseng! Great, how much is this ginseng worth?” Chen Li’s tanned face was flush with excitement.


    Fang Yong raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn’t expect Ning Shu to actually dig out a stalk of ginseng. He looked at Ning Shu. If he was alone, he would have missed the ginseng.


    To be honest, Fang Yong also wanted this ginseng.


    If he had some extra money, he could buy Yiqiao something nice like some food, clothes, or jewelry.


    The surroundings turned very silent. Even the simple-minded Chen Li didn’t say anything. There was only one ginseng, how would it be divided?


    Fang Yong coughed and said, “Who would have thought I would step on a ginseng?”


    Once Ning Shu heard what Fang Yong said, she knew she had to share the ginseng.


    Ning Shu carefully wrapped the ginseng then said to Fang Yong, “In that case, those who are here can have a share, but no one can say anything about it.”


    What they’ve encountered was basically a windfall that would bring them money, but it would also cause many problems.


    Especially when it came to people living within a small vige. If anyone so much as sneezed, the whole vige would know about it.


    Fang Yong nodded. “Only our families will know about this.”


    “So how do we divide it? I want seventy percent. I found this ginseng and I dug it out,” Ning Shu said.


    Fang Yong pursed his lips without speaking. Clearly, he wasn’t satisfied.
