The television crew were quite supportive of the idea that the two kids had come up with. They had originally planned several tasks for the two to do, but now that theyve seen these two children had such a plan, they felt like Zhou Zekais outlandish idea wasnt that bad. Thus, after a short discussion with Zhou Zekai, the television crew began cooperating with Zhou Zekais plans.

After lunch, Zhou Zekai and Tang Bingyu went into the mountain with Yang Susu as their guide!

Thats right!

Yang Susus parents made a living from mushrooms and other fungi that they harvested and dried to sell. Yang Susu usually helped her parents with the harvest, so she was pretty familiar with the path up the mountain.

They brought the youngest, Yang Le, with them. The four of them hiked up the mountain together with the staff behind them. The mountain roads here were very rugged. Fortunately, it had been a while since the last time that it rained. Although the mountain roads were rugged, it was still bearable.

Before they came, everyone deliberately sprayed mosquito repellent on themselves. Tang Bingyu and Zhou Zekai both wore bamboo baskets on their backs. They planned on helping to harvest some mushrooms later.

As they hiked, the dense woods brought a great shock to Tang Bingyu. In the past, she had always gone to scenic locations with her parents. The plant-life there were taken care of by the staff. It was the first time that Tang Bingyu saw this kind of wild environment. There were so many foreign things around her, the grass and scattered stones beneath her feet made her very cautious of each step she took.

By right there shouldnt be any mushrooms growing in the woods, since its already autumn. Yet the trees near Mingan Village were very close together, so the growth period for the mushrooms was longer. From summer to almost winter, there were various types of fungi found in the deep forest.

Although Zhou Zekai recognized several types of mushrooms, he was still overwhelmed at the sight of this many. Some mushrooms grew by the tree roots, some were on flat ground. The ones with vivid colors were all poisonous, while those that looked more normal were safe for humans to eat.

This kind of mushroom is edible. We can pick these.

Yang Susu held up the mushroom in her hand and explained. She didnt know the official names of these mushrooms, only which could be sold and which they could eat themselves. As she picked the mushrooms, she told Zhou Zekai and Tang Bingyu this information.

They nodded, and seriously searched for mushrooms in the forest. Come to speak of it, this was the first time for them to pick mushrooms. The forest was very humid and a bit chilly. Luckily though, they werent dressed too lightly. On the side, a cameraman filmed them as they harvested mushrooms.

Tang Bingyu had never thought about this kind of life before, she was quite enthusiastic about harvesting mushrooms. She kept looking for new mushrooms to pick. Soon her eyes fell upon a mushroom growing under a tree bark and started towards it. Who would have known that she would slip on the tree leaves, falling and twisting her ankle. New n𝙤vel chapters are published on

Zhou Zekai and the cameraman heard the noise. Worried, Zhou Zekai rushed over.

Are you okay?

As he slowly pulled her up, he assessed Tang Bingyus condition. Meanwhile, Tang Bingyu was about to cry. Seeing Zhou Zekai being this concerned over her made her want to cry.

I think I twisted my ankle. It hurts.

Saying so, her nose soured. She suddenly missed her family. If she hadnt wanted to become a star, her family wouldnt have let her come to this kind of place and now she even twisted her ankle.

Zhou Zekai heard this and knew that her condition wasnt that good. He crouched down and lifted Tang Bingyus pant leg up. He looked at her ankle. As expected, it was swollen. When he poked it lightly, Tang Bingyu flinched.

Although the little girl was in a lot of pain, she was very strong. Her eyes watered, but she didnt cry.

Does it hurt a lot here? Lets try to see if youre able to walk.

If she could walk, then that meant that the injury wasnt too serious. Zhou Zekai held Tang Bingyus waist and slowly lifted her up. Immediately, Tang Bingyus right ankle stung, causing her face to become distorted as she leaned heavily onto Zhou Zekai.

Yang Susu and Yang Le didnt know what to do with the situation unfolding before them. They could only watch at the side, not daring to go up.

Do we have any Yun Nan Bai Yao1 or anything like that?

He looked towards the television crew. Honestly, this kind of program where people went to a mountain village ought to have some bug repellent and wound ointment on hand.

The ointment is at the house, we didnt bring it over.

The television crew were also worried. Although they still had to film, but if something really went wrong with this little girls leg, then the television crew would really go crazy.

Then lets head back first. Jiejie, can you help call for a doctor?

To be honest. Zhou Zekai had been a doctor in the last universe. Tang Bingyus ankle was twisted, but it wasnt very serious. It only needed a spray of Yun Nan Bai Yao, it would be fine after two days.

The television crew hastily agreed. They didnt want the guests on the show to have any problems.

Zhou Zekai supported Tang Bingyu to take a seat, then crouched down intending to let Tang Bingyu get on his back. Only, as he was taking the bamboo basket off from his back, his glance caught onto a little sapling by the tree roots.

There were small red fruits on the little sapling, which made Zhou Zekai uncertain. He hurriedly went to take a closer look, and now he was sure what this was!

Do we have a small shovel?

What were the chances that, in this dense forest, he would actually see a ginseng plant?

Usually ginseng would not be able to survive in climates like this, but this place could grow out ginseng when it didnt seem like those places in the Northeast China region? This didnt make sense!

Yang Susu didnt know what this thing was, but she quickly handed over a small shovel. Seeing that Zhou Zekai was carefully digging up the ginseng plant, the television crew also followed him and filmed. Tang Bingyu who was originally in pain also looked over, not knowing what Zhou Zekai had seen.

This is a ginseng plant. I dont know how old it is. The medical book in my grandpas study had information on it. Bingyu, if this ginseng plant can sell for money when its dug up, Ill buy you something good to eat.

While he was digging up the ginseng, he didnt forget to keep Tang Bingyu occupied. The televison crew on the side were already stunned by this development. They really didnt think that there would be ginseng growing on this mountain!

And Zhou Zekai could actually identify it!

In the end when Zhou Zekai dug the mysterious object up, everyone was dumbstruck because there really was a ginseng here. Even though no one could make out the leaves on the ginseng, any one of them could recognize those roots

After he finished digging, Zhou Zekai estimated that this ginseng plant was at least a century old. Weighing it in his hands, it was definitely over four hundred grams2. In the ginseng plant market, there was a saying that 350 grams were a ginseng, 400 grams was a treasure3. This was a wild ginseng plant too. Its market price was most likely something that no average person could afford

Bingyu, give me your handkerchief.

It was also Tang Bingyus first time seeing this kind of freshly-dug ginseng. She immediately forgot her pain, her eyes full of curiosity as she handed her handkerchief over to Zhou Zekai and watched as he carefully wrapped the ginseng and put it in his shirt pocket.

Alright, lets head back. Here, get on my back, Ill carry you.

Watching as Zhou Zekai crouched down before Tang Bingyu and hoisted her up onto his back, the television crew were once again dumbstruck at his smooth actions. They may not be that knowledgeable about these things or know how valuable that ginseng was, but they did know one thing.

Regardless of this wild ginsengs age, be it that it was only a decade or so old or otherwise, it could sell for at least tens of thousands of dollars, wouldnt it?

They hadnt expected Zhou Zekai to have such good luck.

1. Yun Nan Bai Yao, a traditional Chinese medicinal ointment used for injuries apparently
2. (ba liang) in this case, liang refers to 50 grams of weight. So 8 liangs (50 grams) is 400 grams.
