Chapter 117 - Ambiguity
Lin Jing took out a small cloth that he used to wrap his tools from his basket and carefully wrapped the ginseng with it , his voice wavered with emotions as he looked at the ginseng " it's hundreds of year old or maybe more "
If Su Wan wasn't so thrilled and shocked because of the sudden appearance of the ginseng , she would have noticed that Lin Jing actually spoke more words than he usually did but instead all her attention was focused on the ginseng " you are right , I heard legends say that if a ginseng is five hundreds years old it starts to develop human face and if its hundred years old it will develop human shape and if left for thousands of years it will be a sentient . Look carefully Jing ge , if you see it carefully you can see the face distinctly - I'm sure this ginseng must be a king of ginseng !!"
Lin Jing cleaned the dirt of the ginseng and rubbed it clear , Su Wan was right , the ginseng indeed had developed a human face like shape , he couldn't feel things like spiritual energy but he still had an inkling that Su Wan was right this ginseng was indeed the king of ginseng !
" En " wiping his hands clean he patted on Su Wan's head , this way they didn't have to rush and save for mother Lin 's medicine , they can easily sell this ginseng and get some money in exchange with this ginseng , Lin Jing was sure to get at least two hundred or more taels. With that much money they can easily purchase mother Lin 's medicine and at the same time save some money for winter .
Su Wan grinned at the look of delighted glee on Lin Jing 's face , she knew that even though Lin Jing wasn't showing it on his face , he was in fact just as thrilled as she was - with this ginseng they can definitely let go of many of their worries .
" Aren't you lucky Jing ge , that you married me ? If you married someone else you would have never find such an incredible ginseng ! Its all because of my good moral character that this ginseng showed itself " Su Wan shamelessly bragged in front of Lin Jing , in front of her husband she wouldn't even bother to keep a polite demeanour .
Lin Jing saw her proud expression and chuckled slowly , of course he was lucky - not only was his wife good looking , was a great cook - she indeed had a wonderful luck , however what relation did her good moral character had with her luck - Lin Jing couldn't figure that out .
" Wan Wan is the best "with his wife Lin Jing wasn't short on praises , if his wife wants to be praised to high heavens then he will praise her to high heavens - it was just as simple as that .
Hearing Lin Jing praise , Su Wan harrumphed happily , she stood up and patted her clothes . Her happy expression still locked in place .
Lin Jing thought that such a Su Wan was indeed really adorable so he couldn't help but use his hand to rub Su Wan's silky hair - because Su Wan had been crouching on the ground for a long time , her feet was already unsteady and because she didn't expect Lin Jing to do something like this , she was startled- she jumped and lost her balance .
Su Wan who had lost her balance fell right upon Lin Jing with a thump , who had rushed to steady her in his embrace - in the silent and tranquil mountain that hid many secrets , a beautiful sight emerged - a young girl was leaning right against a handsome man's face , their expression of surprise hid a little bit of shyness but there were some ambiguity as well . Thunder crackled in the sky , as lighting flashed through the dense canopies of the trees , then clouds of dark ink shivered and trembled - frolicking with wind as cold showers began to trickle down embracing the ambiguous atmosphere in a misty , blurry wonder .
" We need to take shelter somewhere " said Lin Jing his voice hoarse as he looked away from Su Wan 's eyes that were stunned yet admiring as her hands rested on his chest , he could feel her fingers twitch and trail up and down his abdominal muscles .
" oh yes" blinking Su Wan got off Lin Jing 's body - the warmth of Lin Jing 's body still lingering on her palm . Though she had touched Lin Jing on their night together , she didn't think much about it but now that shd had spent nights with the others as well , Su Wan had an inkling that she will never forget the feeling of those chiseled abs - after all compared to his brothers Lin Jing 's body was a little more hard and solid .
" lets go " said Lin Jing when the evening showers started to envelop them in a thick misty fog creating a sensation like they were trapped in some heavenly place .
In winter the reeds laid dormant and the feathery tips of plants and weeds tickled them swaying along the winds . The autumn leaves of created a mirage of multiple plumage of red crowned cranes fluttering in the air . As they walked multiple shoots were poking out of the grounds , Su Wan knew that those shoots were Chinese ham but under the cold down pour she couldn't bring herself to dig them out . Instead she followed behind , Lin Jing staying clear off the outgrown weeds that seemed to be hiding another rows of pits . Birds of unusual colour jumped around the branches as they twittered madly , preening their wings - some birds would occasionally tilt their heads and look at the two of them making a fool of themselves in the heavy downpour .
" here we are " Lin Jing had spent quite a lot time in the mountains and knew which trail lead to which way like the back of his hand , soon he brought Su Wan to a place which was hidden behind the veil of ivy .
