Chapter 20: What You See in the Mountains
In fact, at noon, the Ye family came to the backyard to scold people, and the Guan family came to Chai's house, but he stood in the courtyard and did not enter the house. Shu Jin found out at the first time, but he didn't know it. When the Chai family came to the backyard, the Guan family followed them directly to the backyard. I've heard a lot of things.
Now, I believe that with the big-mouthed women of the Guan family, in less than two days, the whole village will know that Chai Xiong and the Ye family treat her and Chai Yanfeng harshly.
Shu Jin thought about it clearly, although being sympathized with is not a good thing, it is definitely not a bad thing at present. She had already seen that Chai Xiong and the Ye family were the people. If you want to live a happy life in the future, you must definitely stay away from their families.
Now that someone is helping her control the trend of public opinion and putting her on the side of being sympathized, then if she has any conflict with that "best" family in the future, no one will condemn her, right?
So, Shu Jin smiled, didn't think about it anymore, and continued to walk towards Cangxing Mountain.
When the sun was scorching, Shu Jin walked all the way, and he walked into the deep forest on Cangxing Mountain without encountering anyone. Arriving at a place where weeds were abundant, Shu Jin spread out his spiritual power to check the surroundings, and after making sure that there was no one, he entered the spark space.
The place she chose to settle was the edge of the land where she had planted the seeds last time, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the vegetable seedlings in about an acre of land in front of her were now bearing fruit.
Red peppers, green peppers, green peppers, red and yellow peppers.
That's right, the last time Shu Jin planted it was all chili peppers. She had already discovered that there was no shadow of these chili peppers in the courtyards of the houses in Shanning Village. She's a spicy person, how can she not have chili peppers! So, she planted a bunch of peppers for herself.
There is no obvious climate change in the space, and the moisture and nutrients in the soil are automatically regulated by Xinghuo, so she doesn't need to care about watering and fertilizing at all. She just needs to set the time, so that the seeds planted yesterday are ripe today.
Shu Jin adjusted the time, found a few large boxes, picked all kinds of peppers separately, and then put them in a special building at the back of the villa for storage. Whatever you put in this building, whether it's ingredients or whatever, can stay in the same state as when you entered the building. She didn't have time to concoct it now, so she would put it away first.
After thinking about it, Shu Jin turned over a few more vegetable and fruit seeds that she liked to eat, found a piece of land and planted them. This time, the difference in the maturity time of the planted things was too great, so Shu Jin simply did not reset the time ratio, so that the time inside and outside the space was synchronized, and she came out of the Spark Space.
Outside the space, she was still alone in the mountains and forests. Anyway, there was no one around, so Shu Jin waved his hand, and several wind blades went down, and the wild fern and hogweed fell down. Although Shu Jin's wind ability activated in the last days has weakened, the wind blades she can send out are still extremely sharp, but the size and number are just a little different.
neatly tied a bundle of pigweed with a rope, and stuffed the fern into a basket, Shu Jin put these in place first, and he let go of his spiritual power and picked up the sickle, and walked towards the deeper part of the mountain forest.
The forests in the mountains and forests are luxuriant, no one moves all year round, the branches are slanted out of the way, and from time to time they scratch Shu Jin's clothes, Shu Jin tries to dodge, but he can't dodge it, so he cuts it with a sickle.
She thought that the terrain of Cangxing Mountain would be higher and higher, but she found that after reaching a certain altitude, the terrain began to flatten out, and the trees were not as dense as she imagined. When I arrived at a hillside again, the noon sun shone down, the forest shadow was sparse and mottled, and Shu Jin's progress was not as many obstacles as at the beginning.
She walked carefully, exuding mental energy all the time. It was summer, and the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the forest were active, and even if she was a beast, she didn't want to be bitten by a snake that suddenly rushed out. As she walked, she suddenly noticed that not far ahead, the tops of several plants were peeking out from behind some not-so-tall rocks that had fallen under the roots.
Shu Jin hurriedly ran over when he saw it.
The reason why Shu Jin agreed to enter the mountain so happily was not because she was afraid of the Ye family, she had her own ideas. From Chai Yanfeng, she had a general understanding of the living habits of the people in Xia Shanning Village.
Most of these peasant families work in the fields all day long, digging from the fields. In addition, it is to go up the mountain to pick some mountain goods, such as mushrooms, wild vegetables, wild fruits and so on. If you have good skills, you will also sell a pheasant or hare. In addition, there are also fish caught in the river and sold to and fro.
Shanning Village is close to the mountains and rivers, so there are many types of mountain goods, the four seasons are different, and they can be picked and sold to subsidize the family, so as long as there are no natural disasters, every family can still get by.
But Shu Jin didn't think that a pound of mushrooms or a basket of wild vegetables could be sold for any price. There should be a lot of this thing in the mountains, and every village should sell it, so what's new? Therefore, what she wanted to find was the medicinal herbs in the mountains. Along the way, she'd seen a lot of good things, and this time she found another.
Bypassing a few trees, Shu Jin came to the back of the rock, and finally saw the whole picture of the plants growing behind the rocks:
A planting pole thinner than a finger, more than a meter high, with knots on the pole, the whole is an orange-red color, straight and straight out of the soil, the bottom is smooth, only at the top of the growth of a cluster of small bud-like things.
Shu Jin was sure in his heart, stepped forward and carefully dug up the soil under the plant, and sure enough, he dug out a palm-length wrist-thick tuber in the soil.
There are uneven circles of threads on the top of the tuber, about ten threads, which makes the tuber look a little like ginger at first glance. But Shu Jin knew that this was definitely not ginger, but wild gastrodia.
There are still a few gastrodia plants around, Shu Jin thought about it, dug up two more, and the rest didn't move, but carefully noted down the location.
Shu Jin found several medicinal materials such as yellow essence and houttuynia along the way, but she only picked a little bit and threw it into the space.
Shu Jin thought about it and understood that she still lived with Chai Xiong's family, even if she was pregnant with Baoshan, she couldn't use it at will. So even if it's troublesome to grab food every day, you can't just take out the space at will.
Although Ye and the others have had a lot of difficulties in the past two days after coming to Chai's house, she still feels that her life is quite comfortable now.
Ten years after the end of the world, the kind of days when she tensed her nerves every day and thought about how to live tomorrow every day, she had enough. To be reborn once, even if it falls into such an era of backward productivity, she is very happy, because she can finally live a peaceful and stable life.
For this reason, she also promised Chai Yanfeng in a good mood to help him think of money to treat his legs, after all, this stable life depends on the identity of "Chai Yanfeng's daughter-in-law". Practicing what she says is a necessary quality for mercenaries, so she said that she wanted to heal Chai Yanfeng's leg not for fun. She can't let people find out that she has abilities and spark space, and the things grown in the space can't be sold, so where does the money come from?
It is too inconvenient to have no money in your hand. So, she thought of going up the hill to find out. Overall, the harvest is not bad, but I don't know what kind of price these can be exchanged for.
Looking at the sky, it was impossible to search the entire mountain forest today, so Shu Jin simply began to return.
