The higher the two climbed, the fewer people were on the mountain. By noon, the sun became stronger.

The forest was a little stuffy. Lin Yu rolled up his cuffs and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He turned his head and saw He Ze squatting down. He looked up at the top of the mountain and stopped, and walked to He Ze, "Are you tired? Do you want to have a rest?"

He Ze did not answer, but stared at a knee-high grass in front of him, and after a long time he raised his head, "...What do you think this is?"

"What?"

Lin Yu also squatted down and looked at the grass following He Ze's gaze, but suddenly changed his face. He raised his hand and poked the grass leaves, saying in disbelief, "He Ze, why do I think it looks a bit like... ginseng?"

Ginseng is a precious thing, and he has only seen patterns in Uncle Xu's clinic.

"It's either like it," He Ze raised his eyebrows, "This thing is so smart."

He hid it well. In his previous life, he had a good news. He knew Ginseng. If he hadn't seen it more and more like it just now, and had used his supernatural powers to investigate, he might have missed it.

He Ze turned his head, "I forgot to bring the pickaxe. I borrowed your arrows and we have to dig it out."

"...arrow?" Lin Yu frowned, he always treasured his bow and arrow.

"Can we use our hands?"

"Forget it, I'll give it to you." Lin Yu shook his head repeatedly, turned his head and took an arrow from the backpack and handed it to He Ze. "You have to be careful not to break its roots."

"rest assured."

He Ze took off his back basket, pulled out all the weeds next to him a few strokes, then drew a circle with an arrow and circled the ginseng plants, and then began to pick up the soil along the side.

Lin Yu was anxious, so he squatted down with his back basket. He hesitated and pulled out another arrow to carry the soil on the other side.

The two cooperated tacitly, and within a short while, they saw the tiny ginseng rhizomes.

"Come on the rest, I'm afraid I'm too strong." Lin Yu stopped and wiped the tip of the arrow on the turf for a few times.

"OK."

He Ze did not look up, but just dig deeper at the tip of the arrow until the ginseng beard.

"So small," Lin Yu supported his chin with one hand, as if he was quite disappointed, "He Ze, how many years did you think it has grown? I heard Uncle Xu say that the longer the ginseng, the better the medicine will be, and the thicker the rhizomes will be."

"Rough? Do you still think it looks like a white radish?" He Ze paused. He didn't forget to give it birth when he found out that this ginseng had to grow like this, and he couldn't blame him. "Ginseng is growing extremely slowly, this plant... has been around for about six or seven years."

Plus it gives birth to the growth period.

"Six or seven years," Lin Yu exclaimed, but seemed to remember something, and stared at He Ze and said, "It seems that you have really done your homework and your eyes are good. I even found ginseng once I went up the mountain. There are often many herb collectors from neighboring villages on this mountain, but I haven't heard them mention that ginseng has been dug for a long time."

"Will there be a blessing in the future if we survive the disaster?" He Ze raised his eyebrows, carefully lifted the last bit of soil, and moved the entire plant of ginseng with his other hand, all beards and tails, which really looked like a human figure. There was a smile on his face, "Do it."

Lin Yu stared at He Ze's bent mouth with thoughts, and took the arrow in his hand over and wiped it on the turf. "Then will we continue to go to the top of the mountain? Is it okay to just keep this ginseng like this?"

"It should be no problem," He Ze shook his hand and put the ginseng into the basket, and in a flash he carried the basket back on his back, "Let's go, let's continue."

"Okay," Lin Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead again, covered his eyes and looked at the sky, and said as he walked, "This place is not far from the top of the mountain. Are you hungry?"

"Fortunately, I brought some dry food and I'll go to the top of the mountain to find a cool place to eat later?" He Ze subconsciously frowned when he saw Lin Yu's frequent sweating movements, and reached out to touch the branches next to him. The leaves rustled, which also brought a cool breeze.

Lin Yu didn't say anything, but just took big steps forward, and He Ze followed closely behind him. When he reached the top of the mountain, the sun was in the sky. Although the terrain was much empty, it still couldn't withstand the stuffy and windless weather.

The two found a big tree, ate a few pancakes under the shade, and then half a pack of dried sweet potatoes, and finally filled their stomachs.

He Ze leaned against the tree trunk and half lying on the ground, with his hands wrapped around the back of his head, so it was so comfortable, "Let's have a rest first? It won't take so long to go down the mountain."

Lin Yu glanced at him, suddenly stood up, walked a few steps to the flat slope of the top of the mountain, looking down at the mountain, you could only vaguely see several families in Hejia Village. There were faint figures walking by the river outside the village, probably preparing to carry water and cook.

It seems that he hasn't arrived at the top of this mountain for a long time.

"What are you looking at?"

At some point, He Ze had already walked up to him silently, looked around, and said, "Looking at all the mountains, the scenery on the top of the mountain is different, it's worth climbing for so long."

"Of course, there are five peaks in Xiangyang Mountain, and this Dong Peak is the highest." He originally thought He Ze would definitely not be able to hold on, but he did not expect that he followed him tiredly without shouting.

He used to hear from the village master saying that the scholars should look at each other with admiration after three days of separation. Maybe that's what it means?

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment when he looked at He Ze, his eyes turned around and suddenly spoke, "The injury I accidentally got yesterday...has healed?"

"Okay, the medicinal wine works very well. Let Dr. Xu give me another bottle another day."

"That's good."

Lin Yu nodded, his fair face, which had always been a little red from the sun, and the collar of his clothes was a little wet.

"Let's go to the shade of the trees to rest for a while? Let's wait until the sun is not so strong before going down the mountain?"

"Well," Lin Yu touched the neck of his neck and was wet with sweat. After walking two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said in surprise, "Wait, take you to a good place."

"What?"

Lin Yu did not answer, and walked to the shade of the tree with a basket on his back, urging him, "Come on!"

Seeing him like this, He Ze also accelerated his movements and followed. It seemed like he was going down the mountain, but it was not the same as when he was going up the mountain. Lin Yu seemed to be very familiar with it. It took him about two quarters of an hour to slow down.

“Where are we going?”

"You will know when you come with me, and you will be here soon." Lin Yu smiled on his face, stretched out his hand and pushed away the bushes in front of him, bowed and drilled over.

He Ze also bent down and followed him. Lin Yu had already stopped. When he saw He Ze, he patted his shoulder, "Look, what is that?"

He Ze looked in the direction Lin Yu pointed. The place was a little empty, covered with gravels on the ground, and three or five large stones were scattered across. Looking through the gaps between several stones, it was... a pond?

He looked down at Lin Yu, full of doubts.

"This is a warm pool I discovered when I was chasing the deer two years ago. The water in the pool is warm all year round and it feels so comfortable."

Warm pool? Natural hot spring pool?

The two walked quickly to the edge of the pool. The pool was not big and was just covered by the shade of a large tree. The walls were covered with stones, the water was very clear, and there were a few leaves floating on it. After a while, a bubble appeared.

Lin Yu put down his back basket, squatted by the pond and held a handful of water on his face, looking at his enjoyment.

“It’s a good place.”

He Ze's voice was also filled with excitement. He bent down and touched it. The water temperature was about 34 degrees, which was very suitable for the temperature.

When Lin Yu stood up and turned his head, He Ze's belt and outer clothes were thrown to the ground, with only his underwear and underwear.

"He Ze, what are you doing!"

Lin Yu hurriedly reached out to cover his eyes, his face flushed red.

"It's rare to encounter such a good place. Take a shower and go down the mountain." He Ze had already taken off his inner clothes and threw them on the ground. He was about to take off his pants and paused, "Together? Anyway..."

All... He Ze looked up and saw Lin Yu covering his eyes. His mouth was half open and suddenly there was no sound, and his heart thumped.
