The Little One Goes Foraging: I Raise the Whole Village by Hearing What All Things Think

[Adorable Child Treasured by All] [Foraging and Farming] [Hears the Voices of All Things] [The Whole Village Gets Rich] [Face-Slapping the Villains] [Fluffy Animals] [Easy, Feel-Good Wish Fulfillment]

Three-and-a-half-year-old Jiang Nuobao is as thin as a kitten. Her wicked grandmother throws her onto Wolf Mountain to feed the beasts.

Everyone says she won’t survive.

But as soon as she falls into a patch of grass, she hears an old wild ginseng root trembling as it cries, “Little girl, don’t cry! I’m a hundred-year-old ginseng king. Dig me up and you can sell me for a fortune!”

Nuobao grabs her little shovel and digs, and sure enough, she unearths a plump ginseng root.

Pheasants lead her to eggs, squirrels hide chestnuts for her, a black bear brings her honey, and a tiger carries her down the mountain.

From that day on, good fortune comes to the third branch of the Jiang family.

Her paralyzed mother can stand again, her mute brother starts speaking, her missing father returns, and the bullied third branch splits off from the family.

On Nuobao’s first trip into the mountains, she finds ginseng and reishi mushrooms.

On her second trip, she saves the village’s crops.

On her third trip, she uncovers an injustice involving a mine.

On her fourth trip, even powerful figures from the capital are kneeling and begging her to save their lives.

Her wicked grandmother comes to steal from her out of jealousy?

Nuobao says in her sweet little voice, “Grandpa Mountain God says bad people get struck by lightning!”

The next second, thunder cracks through the clear sky, and the villain’s hair stands up like a bird’s nest.

Later, poor Qingshi Village, once so destitute it could barely feed itself, becomes the richest village in the land thanks to Nuobao.

Even the emperor is practically drooling with envy. “Nuobao, would you trade me a bowl of fish soup made with mountain spring water for my whole empire?”

Nuobao hugs her little rice bowl tight. “Nope! It’s for Mama to get her strength back!”
