Chapter 286 Strange Talk


    Chapter 286 Strange Talk


    After worshiping the white tiger, Mr. Swift and his son approached carefully. Nancy took Otis away


    from them considerately.


    Mr. Swift and his son focused all their attention on the ginseng when they saw it. Then others saw


    Mr. Swift open his bag and take out tools.


    There was aplicated red string that looked more professional than Nancy''s red cloth.


    They started to dig for ginseng after making all the preparations almost devoutly.


    At the beginning, everyone was so interested, but as time went by, few people could have such


    patience.


    Uncle Swifty on his stomach on the ground and broke the mud along the roots of the ginseng bit


    by bit with a small tool. During this time, he could not break any roots.


    This was a job that required high skills and a meticulous attitude. Uncle Swift was very tired and


    sweat streamed down his face because he was highly concentrated and kept a posture for a long


    time.


    His son skillfully picked up a towel to wipe his sweat, and asionally handed over tools to him or


    dug some ces that were easier to dig.


    "Nancy, let''s go and find out if there is any wild fruit to eat."


    It was so boring. Adam rolled his eyes and immediately wanted to leave with Nancy.


    "I''m going, too."


    How could Ivan miss this chance?


    Nancy nodded. "Okay."


    Others looked at each other and felt that it was boring and tiring to stand there and watch the


    ginseng digging. After all, there was no ce to sit. After discussion, they nned to go around the


    mountain.


    They were not afraid that they would be in danger. This was Otis''s territory. Even the snakes had to


    make a detour, let alone the wild animals in the forest.


    However, it was a bit unrealistic to find wild fruit to eat at this time. Even if they found some, they


    were all small and green fruit that couldn''t be eaten.


    But children were energetic and curious about everything.


    Nancy was just like this. Even if she had seen something before, her big eyes would still be full of


    curiosity when she saw it again. It seemed that she would never lose interest in anything in the


    world.


    Adam was a rich young master who grew up in the city. He seldom came to y in the mountain


    forest, so he was also very interested in everything in the forest.


    He poked the fat caterpirs with tree branches, yed with the earthworms pried out of the


    ground, and touched thorny nts with his hands. As a result, his fingers were pricked and bled.


    Even so, he refused to repent. He did not think it was his fault and took revenge himself.


    "Alright, I''d like to see if you dare to stab me again!"


    Adam pped his hands andughed.


    Nancy and Ivan walked over and saw that the thorns on the nt had been pulled out by him and


    were upside down on the branches of the nt.


    How naughty he was!


    Nancy and Ivan were speechless.


    Adam was very proud of himself. "Nancy, if you are stabbed, tell me. I will take revenge for you."


    Nancy said, "Fine..."


    Adam released his personality and had a good time. He scratched his trousers when he went up the


    tree and pulled out a bird''s nest. His clothes were wrinkled.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Nancy stood under the tree and felt so worried. "Be careful, Adam."


    Adam finally climbed to the bird''s nest and saw five eggs in it!


    "Sister, there are five eggs. I can take two and leave three for them."


    Nancy said, "Come down quickly. The birds'' parents will be angry when theye back."


    "I see."


    Adam picked out the two smallest eggs and went down the tree. Then he went to look for the bird


    nests in other trees.


    Nancy didn''t allow him to climb very high trees, for fear that he might fall down.


    Even so, Adam was too excited with the three little bird eggs in his hands. He didn''t mind it though


    his hands were scratched.


    Nancy blew his wounds. "Adam, there is water over there. Go and wash your hands."


    Ivan stared at the bird''s eggs. "How are we going to eat them? They''re so small."


    Nancy poked the eggs with her finger and recalled how the children did in Joy Vige.


    "They can be baked directly or fried, but the bird''s eggs are too small. Neither of them is as big as a


    chicken egg."


    "Wow, there are fish here!"


    Adam, who was washing his hands, suddenly cried out excitedly. When Nancy and Ivan looked


    over, Adam had already taken off his shoes and jumped into the water.


    Nancy was shocked!


    "Adam, the water is cold! You will catch a cold!!"


    Adam didn''t care. "It''s okay. I''m in good health!"


    In the end, he didn''t catch any fish but his trousers and clothes were all wet.


    When Marcus and the others came to find them, Nancy and Ivans were poking around the bank of


    the stream with a branch.


    Nancy said, "Brother, I caught a fish!"


    She stooped down. When she got up again, she held a small palm-sized fish. The smile on her face


    was very sweet.


    Ivan was somewhat disappointed. "I didn''t catch any fish."


    Adam, who was standing in the water with empty hands, had nothing to say.


    He didn''t believe it.


    "What are you doing?"


    Marcus''s cold voice sounded, and the children who were fishing suddenly trembled with fear. The


    little fish in Nancy''s hand fell off.


    "Brother... Big brother."


    Nancy was like a child who was caught by her parents when she did bad things, and her voice was


    slightly guilty.


    In her impression, the adults in the vige did not allow children to get close to the water, saying it


    was dangerous.


    Grandma did not allow her to get close to the reservoirs and rivers in the vige when she was


    alive. She was obedient. When the children in the vige went to y in the water, she never joined


    them.


    But things were different at this time. Under the leadership of her own brother, Nancy couldn''t resist


    the temptation and came closer to the water. Although she didn''t jump in, her shoes were wet.


    Adam in the water didn''t think there was any problem. "Big brother,e and see. Fish are


    swimming in the water!"


    "Get out of the water."


    Marcus said coldly with his face darkened. Only then did Adam realize that he seemed to be angry.


    He immediately walked out of the water timidly.


    Shawn''s face was also a little gloomy. It hadn''t been a long time, but why did Adam be like


    this? The water in March was still very cold. He would catch a cold if he was not careful.


    He went to carry Nancy in his arms, and his face was gloomier when he saw that her shoes were


    wet.


    "Brother."


    Nancy poked her fingers and looked at her brothers pitifully.


    Martin flicked on her forehead. "Look at you. Isn''t the water cold? What if you get sick?"


    Children had the poorest resistance. They were easy to catch a cold if their feet, bellies, and heads


    were cold.


    Shawn asked Neil to hold Nancy and took off her wet shoes and socks.


    Ivan walked over with his neck shrunk and felt that he would be taught a lesson.


    Louis slid him a sideways nce and said mockingly, "Oh, look at how old you are. You even yed


    in the water with the children."


    Ivan was speechless.


    He was not young anymore indeed, but what did it have to do with Louis?


    "Ivan."


    Shawn called Ivan, and Ivan shrank his neck and put on a pitiful expression just like Nancy. He


    walked over.


    "I''m sorry, Shawn."


    He admitted his mistake quite fast.


    Among the three people who yed in the water, only Adam stuck his neck and talked back. He


    didn''t behave obediently until he was beaten.


    There were no shoes to change, so Nancy was held by her brother. Her two fair and chubby little


    feet were exposed and she moved her toes from time to time, looking so cute.


    Martin grabbed her feet and says with a smile, "Are you cold? I''ll cover your feet."


    In fact, he just wanted to y with her chubby little feet. It felt really good when he pinched them.


    Nancy said, "Thank you, Martin."


    Louis leaned over and said, "Martin, cover my feet for a while."


    Martin said, "Get out."


    When Otis came back from hunting, Nancy''s chubby feet had been covered by all her brothers, and


    she was not cold at all.


    Nancy sat on Otis''s back and felt warmer.


    Time was always strange. When it was boring, every day appeared like a year in length, and people


    wished it could pass by quickly.


    But when people felt happy, time passed by so quickly. It seemed that a day passed by in a blink of


    an eye.


    This day passed by in a blink of an eye.


    Nancy always felt that it was soon the afternoon, and the sun had set in the west.


    It took Mr. Swift and his son more than half a day to get the whole ginseng from the soil.


    He held the ginseng in his hands and his face was red with excitement.


    "This... ginseng is at least five hundred years old!"


    This was the age of these people''s ancestors.


    It was great to have one-hundred-year-old ginseng, let alone five-hundred-year-old ginseng.
