Who Moved My Mountain

Chapter 39

        

Medicinal black chicken with ginseng stew   

Everyone saw how excited Master Zhang was and realized that this wild mountain ginseng was an exceptionally good thing. Perhaps even better than Yuan Yuan"s piece of jade. Lu Hua Nian unconsciously asked, "He Nian, this wild ginseng could not be given by Yun Rong as well, right?"

    "No." Lu He Nian bluntly answered. (T/N: what blatant lie… shame on you!) (ノ≧ڡ≦)  

    Maybe due to Lu He Nian"s expression that was too straightforward, n.o.body asked anymore. Lu Nan Xian saw that Master Zhang no longer spoke, merely looking at the wild mountain ginseng over and over again as if he wished he could bite it on the spot. He couldn"t help but ask: "Master Zhang, is there anything special in this wild mountain ginseng?"

    With Lu Nan Xian and Jiang Shu Hua"s advanced age, they sometimes ate some nourishing soup for the body. Although wild mountain ginseng were precious, it wasn"t all that rare. In their home, they also collected a few wild mountain ginseng that were a few hundred years old1.

    "This is a millennial ginseng!" Master Zhang excitedly exclaimed, "Moreover, it is still fresh, and its contained spiritual aura equals to ten times a normal ginseng"s. This is a treasure that can save a person"s life at the crucial time!"

    Millennial? When everybody heard this, they breathed in cold air. No need to mention millennial, in the entire country, you would only find a few ginseng above 500 years old. No wonder Master Zhang was so excited.

    With a burning gaze, Master Zhang looked at Lu He Nian and spoke: "He Nian, are there anymore of these kinds of wild mountain ginseng in your friend"s hand? If they want to sell it, I am willing to pay 10 million."

    Lu He Nian shook his head, "In her2 hands there was only this one." He unconsciously lied, really not wishing for Yun Rong to be implicated in this.     

    "Indeed, this kind of good stuff, to be able to see one is already being most fortunate. Where would you be able to find more…" He replied while slightly nodding. Although Master Zhang was disappointed, he could still understand. 

    However, he was still unwilling to give up: "He Nian, actually, this sort of wild mountain ginseng is really good as a supplement for the body as the medicinal efficacy is very strong. You only need a small slice each time and it would suffice. You see, this is such a big root, could you share a little with me?"

    After he was done speaking, his gaze that fell on Lu He Nian was full of expectation.

    If it was any other person, Lu He Nian would certainly have refused directly. This good thing could save someone"s life, which household would not conceal and hide it away. The things that could save lives were not that many. Furthermore, this was given by Yun Rong. Thinking of that little lady who was all smiles when gazing at him, he didn"t know why, he just didn"t want to give away the things she had given him. 

    "He Nian, since it is useful for Master Zhang, then let"s share it with him." Lu Nan Xian showed initiative and opened his mouth.

    When Lu He Nian heard Lu Nan Xian"s voice, he came back to his senses and nodded. Master Zhang was not an outsider. He being able to live peacefully and safely until now, how many years had he entirely depended on him to suppress the inauspicious aura inside him. 

    Catching sight of Lu He Nian"s nod, Master Zhang became extremely happy. His immortal and detached appearance simply could not be maintained. Was a detached immortal being of dao able to replace a bowl of rice? Did a detached immortal being of dao have spiritual influence? That chunk of jade could not be divided into two, but this ginseng could ah! Taking this sort of ginseng home, those old b.a.s.t.a.r.ds at the special office could only envy his portion!

    In the end, Master Zhang took a few ta.s.sels of the ginseng for the Lu family to consume as soon as possible, when the ginseng was still fresh. Then the rest of the ginseng was all taken away by him to personally concoct before sending a portion back. He was not worried even a bit with the technique he should use to concoct.   

    Up until the moment he was about to leave, Master Zhang kept on smiling. When he was finally at the door, he seemed to recall something. Pressing the corners of his mouth and with a serious expression, he said: "You should quickly find this talented person. If she is around, He Nian"s life fate has a 50% chance of changing."

    Master Zhang"s sentence made Jiang Shu Hua and Lu Nan Xian attach importance to the matter of finding Yun Rong. Waiting until Master Zhang had left, Lu Nan Xian said: "I will notify the people below. Only half a day has pa.s.sed, she should still be in Haishi."

    Jiang Shu Hua nodded her head, "Even if there is only a little bit of chance, we still have to try."

    Lu He Nian sighed in his heart when he saw the anxious appearance of his father and mother. He also wished so badly that he could untie his life fate. However, he didn"t want to implicate an innocent person. What"s more, no matter how he saw it, the young lady didn"t resemble a talented person. 

    The affair of finding people wasn"t that urgent for now. After a moment of discussion, everybody recalled the fresh ginseng ta.s.sels that Master Zhang had left behind. He had mentioned it had to be consumed as soon as possible, otherwise if the spiritual aura dispersed, the result would not be as good. 

    Jiang Shu Hua immediately instructed nanny Chen to stew it with chicken. The following day the whole family could drink a bowl each.   

    The Lu family couldn"t sleep tonight thinking about Yun Rong"s things. Another person in the police station also could not sleep, or more like, didn"t dare to sleep. 

    When Jin Hong Mei was brought to the police station, she underwent a simple interrogation. She stuck to her statement that she was doing a proper business. Inside the clubhouse, they only sang songs and sold wines. She wasn"t aware of the matter of Zou Lan"s husband having an affair with one of her staff. Anyway, people having an affair was not a crime. Even if she knew, it wasn"t good for her to meedle in ah.

    In fact, a person with a discerning eye would be able to decipher her reasons. Jin Hong Mei"s clubhouse definitely had some dirty dealings. However, Jin Hong Mei was very cautious. There was no evidence to be gathered at all. Extramarital affairs, these things, only the morality and virtue could be criticized. The law really had no handle and could do nothing about it. 

    Walking out of the interrogation room, a policeman, Xiao w.a.n.g, saw the written account in the book and said: "Captain, I feel that this clubhouse is not so simple. Several times we had almost caught it, but it still slipped away. This time, it was with great difficulty that we caught and detained the boss using this excuse. Yet, she still didn"t let anything slip.

1: The age of a ginseng plant can be determined by counting the number of stem scars (wrinkle/ring/circle) on the main body. The more years a ginseng has, the more valuable it will be and the medicine properties will be stronger as well.

2: When writing p.r.o.nouns, for male and female ( he and she ) the Chinese have different characters with the same sound. So in this instance, the person hearing actually couldn"t tell if this is a he or a she. The characters are: 

她 tā (she) and 他 tā (he)

Note how only the front parts are different ^^
