Chapter 286 Strange Talk

After worshiping the white tiger, Mr. Swift and his son approached carefully. Nancy took Otis away from them considerately.

Mr. Swift and his son focused all their attention on the ginseng when they saw it. Then others saw Mr. Swift open his bag and take out tools.

There was a complicated red string that looked more professional than Nancy's red cloth.

They started to dig for ginseng after making all the preparations almost devoutly.

At the beginning, everyone was so interested, but as time went by, few people could have such patience.

Uncle Swift lay on his stomach on the ground and broke the mud along the roots of the ginseng bit by bit with a small tool. During this time, he could not break any roots.

This was a job that required high skills and a meticulous attitude. Uncle Swift was very tired and sweat streamed down his face because he was highly concentrated and kept a posture for a long time.

His son skillfully picked up a towel to wipe his sweat, and occasionally handed over tools to him or dug some places that were easier to dig.

"Nancy, let's go and find out if there is any wild fruit to eat."

It was so boring. Adam rolled his eyes and immediately wanted to leave with Nancy.

"I'm going, too."

How could Ivan miss this chance?

Nancy nodded. "Okay."

Others looked at each other and felt that it was boring and tiring to stand there and watch the ginseng digging. After all, there was no place to sit. After discussion, they planned to go around the mountain.

They were not afraid that they would be in danger. This was Otis's territory. Even the snakes had to make a detour, let alone the wild animals in the forest.

However, it was a bit unrealistic to find wild fruit to eat at this time. Even if they found some, they were all small and green fruit that couldn't be eaten.

But children were energetic and curious about everything.

Nancy was just like this. Even if she had seen something before, her big eyes would still be full of curiosity when she saw it again. It seemed that she would never lose interest in anything in the world.

Adam was a rich young master who grew up in the city. He seldom came to play in the mountain forest, so he was also very interested in everything in the forest.

He poked the fat caterpillars with tree branches, played with the earthworms pried out of the ground, and touched thorny plants with his hands. As a result, his fingers were pricked and bled.

Even so, he refused to repent. He did not think it was his fault and took revenge himself.

"Alright, I'd like to see if you dare to stab me again!"

Adam clapped his hands and laughed.

Nancy and Ivan walked over and saw that the thorns on the plant had been pulled out by him and were upside down on the branches of the plant.

How naughty he was!

Nancy and Ivan were speechless.

Adam was very proud of himself. "Nancy, if you are stabbed, tell me. I will take revenge for you."

Nancy said, "Fine..."

Adam released his personality and had a good time. He scratched his trousers when he went up the tree and pulled out a bird's nest. His clothes were wrinkled.

Nancy stood under the tree and felt so worried. "Be careful, Adam."

Adam finally climbed to the bird's nest and saw five eggs in it!

"Sister, there are five eggs. I can take two and leave three for them."

Nancy said, "Come down quickly. The birds' parents will be angry when they come back."

"I see."

Adam picked out the two smallest eggs and went down the tree. Then he went to look for the bird nests in other trees.

Nancy didn't allow him to climb very high trees, for fear that he might fall down.

Even so, Adam was too excited with the three little bird eggs in his hands. He didn't mind it though his hands were scratched.

Nancy blew his wounds. "Adam, there is water over there. Go and wash your hands."

Ivan stared at the bird's eggs. "How are we going to eat them? They're so small."

Nancy poked the eggs with her finger and recalled how the children did in Joy Village.

"They can be baked directly or fried, but the bird's eggs are too small. Neither of them is as big as a chicken egg."

"Wow, there are fish here!"

Adam, who was washing his hands, suddenly cried out excitedly. When Nancy and Ivan looked over, Adam had already taken off his shoes and jumped into the water.

Nancy was shocked!

"Adam, the water is cold! You will catch a cold!!"

Adam didn't care. "It's okay. I'm in good health!"

In the end, he didn't catch any fish but his trousers and clothes were all wet.

When Marcus and the others came to find them, Nancy and Ivans were poking around the bank of the stream with a branch.
