“Alright, I’ll listen to you, Sister Yu,” Su Hu naturally agreed without hesitation. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel

The bamboo grove wasn’t large, and it took the father and daughter a whole morning to make a complete round, selecting three sturdy and deep green Cuizhu bamboo canes. They cut these at the waist and harvested suitable sections to be placed in their carrying baskets – material for crafting bamboo flutes.

“Sister Yu, let’s head back. The midday heat is oppressive, and it’s uncomfortable being in the woods for too long,” Su Hu said, concerned about his young daughter missing lunch and going hungry. Using that as an excuse, he suggested they head back down the mountain.

“Daddy, there are mushrooms in the grove ahead. Let’s pick some before we go home,” Su Qingluo said upon hearing a telepathic message from Little Kingfisher. There were rare medicinal plants – Tian Qi – growing in the hollow just before the bamboo grove, a cause for excitement. She used the excuse of picking mushrooms to explore the hollow.

“Your mother picked some mushrooms at the foot of the mountain yesterday, there’s still some at home,” Su Hu hesitated, still wanting to head home quickly for a meal, anxious not to keep his darling daughter hungry.

“Daddy, I want to pick mushrooms,” Su Qingluo looked up at him pleadingly, her big, watery eyes wide and hopeful.

“Alright, let’s pick some then,” Su Hu immediately gave in, unconditionally agreeing.

Su Qingluo, with her petite carry-basket on her back and small steps, took the lead, leisurely guiding the way as Little Kingfisher directed.

Armed with a machete, Su Hu would quicken his pace whenever thorny undergrowth blocked their way. He’d get ahead of her and swing the machete to clear the path, always ensuring his daughter’s safety.

The father-daughter pair passed through the bamboo grove, descended into the hollow, waded across a shallow stream, and saw greenery in their distance.

Low-lying plants bloomed with tiny red wildflowers. The cool mountain breeze wafted, causing the flowers to sway elegantly in the wind, creating a beautiful sight.

“Cheep, cheep.”

Little Kingfisher glided above the wildflowers, accurately picking a bunch of small red fruits and pleasantly munching them.

“Daddy, the wildflowers are so pretty. Let’s dig some up and plant them at home,” Su Qingluo suggested, taking out a small shovel from her basket and began digging with aplomb.

Su Hu, who was always indulgent of his daughter, naturally felt obligated to assist in any way possible. Understanding his daughter’s fondness for the flowers, he wanted to be the one who helped plant them.

As a result, he too took a spade from his basket and began digging vigorously.

“Hey, Sister Yu, what is this plant? It seems to have roots like…,” After a few digs, he felt something wasn’t right. Underneath the tender leaves, there seemed to be some root that looked like ginger.

You could say it was not exactly like ginger. It was a bunch of lumps, looking like clods.

“Daddy, don’t you think this looks like that thing we saw when we went to sell ginseng at Kongshantang, the one they had on display at the counter, called Tian…what’s its name?” Su Qingluo rested a cheek on her hand and appeared to be deep in thought, following her father’s suspicion.

“Tian Qi!” Su Hu, slapping his thigh in excitement, nearly jumped off the ground. He was thrilled.

“Sister Yu, we’ve struck a gold mine! This is Tian Qi, a top-notch medicine, and not cheap at shops, too.”

“Daddy, can we dig some up to plant at home?” Su Qingluo asked in a sweet, childish voice, her eyes curving into crescent moons as she smiled.

“Of course, darling! If you want to plant it, I’ll get it for you,” Su Hu readily agreed. He chose a few Tian Qi plants with the strongest roots, and he dug with lightning speed, removing them with the soil still attached, and carefully placed them in his basket.

The rest of the Tian Qi roots he carefully dug and put in a cloth bag he carried with him, tying it to his waist. Half a bag of Tian Qi weighed around five or six pounds, which could fetch a pretty penny at Kongshantang.

Su Hu was absolutely delighted. Hand in hand with his darling daughter, they washed their hands in the stream. Humming a little tune, they happily made their way home..
