Chapter 652: A Feeling of Dying at Any Time

Wang An laughed, and Mu Xueqing also laughed immediately, and then the couple laughed together with great tacit understanding.

And Mu Xueli immediately realized what Wang An and Mu Xueqing were laughing at, scratched his head, and said a bit embarrassedly:

"I can dig, but brother-in-law, why are you exposing my shortcomings?"

In fact, the matter of the old ginseng patch was discovered by Wang An and Wang Li. If Mu Xueli was added casually, it would definitely be inappropriate.

Even if Wang Li wouldn't think much, Wang An absolutely couldn't do this.

Still the same sentence, "Close brothers, clear accounts"! After Mu Xueli finished speaking, Wang An said with a smile:

"Actually, I'm just wondering, what were you thinking at that time? You insisted on giving me hard work fee... Hahahaha..."

Wang An laughed quite happily, but Mu Xueli seemed even more embarrassed.

Seeing his brother's embarrassment, Mu Xueqing finally couldn't hold it anymore, hit Wang An's arm twice and said: "Don't laugh, you'll make my brother cry in a while."

After Mu Xueqing finished speaking, she pushed Wang An twice, which successfully stopped Wang An's laughter.

After a while, Wang An asked Mu Xueli: "Have you ever learned how to lift ginseng? Who did you learn from?"

Before Mu Xueli spoke, Mu Xueqing said:

"Xueli has never learned how to lift ginseng. Before my father was in poor health, we always went to the mountains with my mother to dig medicinal materials. Xueli heard that complete ginseng is valuable, so he dreamed of encountering ginseng every day when digging medicinal materials, and then he always used the roots of other medicinal materials to practice."

Wang An never expected that his brother-in-law was quite talented. Helping others unload meat to practice knife skills, dreaming of encountering ginseng and using grass roots to practice... What kind of god operation is this?

But it must be admitted that the opportunity is really left to those who are prepared!

Otherwise, even if the opportunity of heaven comes and is forced to be sent to you, you have to throw it away, and the reason is that you can't catch it at all!

So after hearing Mu Xueqing's words, Wang An immediately felt relieved. However, for the sake of insurance, before digging that six-leaf ginseng root, Wang An still planned to let Mu Xueli dig a two-year-old or three-leaf grade to try it out.

The key is that according to the situation of that old ginseng patch, that six-leaf ginseng root is most likely a big invincible good.

Wang An nodded and said:

"That's fine, you ride a horse over early tomorrow morning, we have to set off early."

Hearing Wang An say that Mu Xueli was allowed to dig ginseng, whether it was Mu Xueli himself or Mu Xueqing, smiles hung on their faces, looking quite happy.

However, happiness is normal. After all, such a thing of getting rich, as long as it is a person, everyone wants to participate.

Mu Xueli said with a smile:

"Then thank you, brother-in-law, hahahaha."

As he spoke, Mu Xueli jumped from the kang to the ground, and at the same time said again: "Then brother-in-law and big sister, I will go back and prepare a set of handy tools."

After Mu Xueli finished speaking, he turned and was about to walk out.

Wang An hurriedly said:

"No need to prepare, I have a complete set here."

As soon as Wang An's words came out, Mu Xueli looked at Wang An with a face full of surprise, a bit unbelievable but very curious and said: "Brother-in-law, you still have that set of tools? Let me see, those who lift ginseng in our village are so damn stingy. I thought about seeing what it looks like, but they didn't show it to me."

Looking at Mu Xueli's aggrieved and indignant appearance, Wang An couldn't help but laugh.

Wang An knew that this matter really couldn't blame those who dug for ginseng.

Because some people who dig for ginseng are very taboo about this, believing that their tools cannot be seen by outsiders, especially not by outsiders. They believe that the tools for digging ginseng, especially deer bone sticks and deer bone spoons, are things with spirituality.

As long as they are touched by outsiders, they will lose their spirituality, and then when digging for ginseng, they will hurt the root hairs and cannot let them dig out the ginseng perfectly.

To be honest, although this statement has no basis at all, and it sounds a bit mysterious, there are quite a few people who dig for ginseng like this.

And Han Shuisheng said that in a ginseng gang with strict rules, unless it is a master-apprentice relationship, even people in the same ginseng gang rarely borrow tools from each other.

And this point is also a bit similar to ginseng diggers with many rules who will not borrow hunting knives and guns from each other.

However, still the same sentence, that is "existence is reasonable." Although Wang An will not follow these rules, he will not disparage or criticize them.

You play yours, I play mine, everyone plays their own.

Therefore, when Wang An told these rules, or more accurately, taboos, to Mu Xueli, Mu Xueli immediately felt a bit embarrassed and muttered:

"Then they should just say it, I'm not ignorant of people, what can I do to them?"

Wang An, while taking out the cloth bag containing the ginseng-digging tools, said with a smile: "It's not that everyone who lifts ginseng is like this. What do you want them to say? No matter what they say, it's like looking for an excuse."

Mu Xueli didn't pay attention to Wang An's words anymore, but took the cloth bag with excitement.

However, before opening the cloth bag, Mu Xueli seemed to have thought of something suddenly and turned to ask Wang An:

"That... brother-in-law, do you have any taboos here?"

It can be seen that Mu Xueli at this time is not pretending or joking, but is treating this matter very seriously.

But Wang An was stunned for a moment when he heard this and said with a smile:

"What kind of taboo do I have? You have been with me in the mountains for such a long time, when have you seen me have this or that?"

Mu Xueli thought for a while with his face slightly raised, and then said slowly: "Yeah, brother-in-law, you don't even worship the Mountain God. Every time Old Xiao Pao in our village hits prey, he will worship the Mountain God first. I thought..."

But before Mu Xueli finished speaking, Mu Xueqing sternly scolded her brother: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense every day."

It must be said that people in the mountains in this era, regardless of whether they have a diploma or not, mostly have a sense of awe for things like "gods, demons, ghosts, and monsters."

Even if they don't believe it, they rarely disparage it. After all, many things are indeed a bit incredible.

Hearing his big sister's words, Mu Xueli immediately shut up obediently, and Wang An smiled and didn't interrupt.

After a while, Mu Xueli held the deer bone stick and deer bone spoon and said:

"This thing is fine, it looks really easy to use. Why didn't I think of getting this thing?"

After looking at them one by one, Mu Xueli said to Wang An:

"Can I take this set of tools home today? I thought about making a set according to the appearance."

Wang An said indifferently:

"Take it, just don't lose it."

After sending Mu Xueli away, Wang An looked at the golden eagle cub sleeping in the basket and couldn't help frowning.

The main thing is that this golden eagle cub is really not healthy. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be a feeling of dying at any time.

Turning his gaze, Wang An saw the ginseng with broken root hairs.
