You Actually Keep a Ginseng

The third leader smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. There are many ways to die. If you tell us the prescription, you can choose a comfortable way to die."

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "I understand. Either way, you're going to die, right?"

Suddenly, all of them went limp and collapsed to the ground.

The third leader was terrified. "You... what kind of sorcery did you use on us?"

Zhou Wanwan then untied the ropes binding her, looked at the red marks on her hands, and slapped him across the face, saying:

"Sorcery? You think you can bind me with these mere ropes?"

I went to great lengths to show you mercy and let you go, and this is how you repay me?

"You're really capable of going so far as to boil me in oil and feed me to the wolves."

The third leader, tears streaming down his face, was filled with regret. He couldn't believe his words: "Grandma, I was wrong! I'll be your slave from now on, please spare my life!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "I trusted you once! But you're not worthy of my trust. You always think I'm easy to bully."

How capable can a five-year-old child be?

This is what most people think, and the third leader naturally thought the same way. Little did he know that Zhou Wanwan was so powerful that she directly poisoned their entire mountain stronghold.

How did she manage to do that?

Zhou Wanwan looked at the people from Liu Family Village and said, "What are you waiting for?"

The villagers of Liu Family Village finally realized what had happened. Liu Dalang almost burst into tears. "Waaah... I thought I was going to die here today!"

Liu Erlang nodded and said, "That's right! Let's work hard and try to empty the entire mountain stronghold."

Zhou Qingyan and his group also sprang into action. Zhou Wanwan ignored the people in the mountain stronghold, as they had been poisoned by the "softening powder."

This cartilage-softening powder is no ordinary medicine. If you don't take the antidote, you'll soon feel weak all over, and no matter how much you struggle, it won't help.

Moreover, they will gradually forget their memories from these past few days. These recipes are not commonly available to ordinary people, but she had seen them in an ancient book and had never actually tried them.

Because the environment of my previous life didn't require this kind of medicine, this cartilage powder is quite suitable now.

Zhou Wanwan also went to get busy. This mountain stronghold was very large, but it wasn't like what the third leader had said, with grain everywhere.

After searching for a long time, we found more than 300 bags of grain, but since it was free, we were naturally happy.

Zhou Wanwan began to communicate with the flowers and plants in the mountain village.

A morning glory nearby said, "There's more than one granary here, but if I help you find it, what reward will you give me?"

Zhou Wanwan took out a pot of water and dripped a few drops onto it. It looked satisfied and said, "What kind of water is this? It feels so good!"

Lingbao leaned closer and said, "My bathwater."

Wow! Ginseng! Brother, do you think I'm pretty?

Lingbao shuddered and said, "How scary! I don't like you like this."

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, let's get down to business. Where is their other granary?"

Morning Glory shook itself and said, "It's on that hilltop up ahead; it's heavily guarded."

Zhou Wanwan followed a small path to another mountain. On the top of this mountain stood a large fortress, which looked tall and sturdy, and was heavily guarded by many soldiers.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Little Ginseng and said, "Lingbao, we're counting on you this time."

Lingbao nodded and immediately darted out.

Before long, all the guards had fainted.

Zhou Wanwan led the people of Liu Family Village into the fortress, which contained quite a lot of items.

Piles of cloth and cotton, various iron farm tools, weapons such as knives, spears, swords, and axes, and lots of oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.

There were also some medicinal herbs, cured meat and dried goods, dozens of barrels of strong liquor in the corner, bowls, plates and ladles on the wooden shelves, and several boxes of copper coins and silver ingots.

There are also many other odds and ends of daily necessities.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the grain storage area, where more than 200 bags of grain were piled up.

She smiled and said, "This mountain stronghold has quite a few carriages, more than ten, which is perfect for transporting grain."

With this grain, Liu Family Village can survive for at least two years, but Liu Family Village is not safe enough now, so this grain needs to be stored in a safer place.

Zhou Wanwan thought of digging a tunnel in the mountains to hide all the grain there.

In the past, digging such a tunnel would have taken a very long time, but now that they have made explosives, it is much faster.

Moreover, having tunnels would make it much easier for them to move around.

One carriage after another came, and Zhou Wanwan kept inquiring; they had indeed found a considerable amount of grain.

But they couldn't find any silver. Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "It's unbelievable that such a large stronghold doesn't even have a single ounce of silver."

An Old Scholar Tree nearby suddenly spoke:

"What's so unbelievable? This mountain stronghold pays a lot of taxes every year, and the money comes in box after box."

Otherwise, why would the government ignore these bandits?

However, there are some things under my Old Scholar Tree, but unfortunately the little girl can't hear what I'm saying, so naturally she can't get them."

Zhou Wanwan coughed and said, "That's not always the case; sometimes you can still hear it."

"Hehehe... Little girl, you can actually hear what I'm saying?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Yes, I can hear it."

"Hahaha... You're so funny. I'm so lonely here. Look around the whole courtyard, there are hardly any people I can talk to."

Why don't you chat with me for a bit? What year is it again?

Zhou Wanwan looked at it and said, "Is it possible that I don't even know what year or month it is now?"

How long has she been in the Great Xia Kingdom? How could she know anything about this country?

The Old Scholar Tree looked at her disdainfully and said, "Do you think I'm boring, that I'm too old, and that's why you don't want to chat with me?"

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "I absolutely don't have that thought. I find chatting with you old guys very interesting."

"Hmph... I don't believe what you say."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:

"How about this? You help me find the treasure in this mountain stronghold."

I'll take you to our village. We have lots of trees and lots of people. Would you like to come?

The Old Scholar Tree looked at her and said, "How would I know if you're lying to me?"

Lingbao suddenly popped out of his pocket and said, "You old codger, you can go if you want, or not if you don't. Do you really think we care?"

The Old Scholar Tree was startled and said:

"Wow! You actually raised a ginseng as a pet? You're really something."

"Okay, okay, wait a minute, I'll get this stuff out for you."

The roots of the Old Scholar Tree stirred, and suddenly a box emerged.
