There really are quite a few treasures hidden in these deep mountain forests!

Liang Shuyan held a shovel in her hand, her fingers blistered from the shovel, but she was still very happy. She glanced at Liu Shi and Sanwang, then quickly tore off a piece of her clothes and grabbed their hands to wrap them.

"Digging for licorice is quite laborious; be careful you don't get blisters on your hands."

Madam Liu was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. She didn't even remember when she started drooling. She just stared blankly at her mother-in-law: "Mother, Mother, what's wrong?"

Liang Shuyan realized she had been discovered and pushed Liu's hand away, saying, "I was just worried that your hands would get blisters and you wouldn't be able to work."

Liu licked her lips and laughed, "No matter what, Mother, my heart is warmed."

Liang Shuyan shook her head: "The original owner really is like that. Actually, it's all because she didn't know how to teach these children that they turned out like this. Liu Shi, that daughter-in-law, is the kind of person who will beam with joy as long as you give her a little sunshine. She's the kind of person who doesn't have any ulterior motives at all."

"Two catties of Ganoderma lucidum have been found deep in the grass ahead, worth 500 coins. Shall we sell it?"

"yes!"

Unexpectedly, I earned so much silver in just a short time on this mountain. It totaled more than 500 coins. With this silver, I can buy some food in the mall, and wouldn't it be better to store the rest in the warehouse?

Liang Shuyan was so happy that she dropped her shovel and started dancing in the woods.

Behind them, Jin Sanwang shouted, "Mom, something bad has happened! Watch out, there's a wild boar!"

The sound was like a thunderclap, but also a tremendous surprise!

Ignoring everything else, Liang Shuyan quickly ran towards the direction Jin Sanwang was shouting. At this moment, Liu Shi was so frightened that she even dropped the basket on her back.

"Quick, quick, climb this tree!"

Liang Shuyan looked toward Sanwang not far away. She saw that the tree Sanwang had climbed was not thick enough, and the wild boar seemed to have spotted prey in the tree and was ramming the tree back and forth.

The tree is about to fall, and Jinwang is about to be injured by the wild boar. What should we do?

"Host, don't panic. The system has an intelligent butcher who will find a way to help you eliminate the wild boars. Naturally, these wild boars will fetch a higher price. A preliminary estimate is at least 10 taels of silver. Host, would you like to...?"

Before the system's adorable little helper could finish speaking, Liang Shuyan shouted, "I want it!"

As Liang Shuyan grew angry and anxious, the intelligent butcher, dressed in black and wielding a machete, appeared. He stepped forward, aimed at the wild boar's head, and with a clatter, the boar's head rolled to Liang Shuyan's feet.

Thankfully, Kim Sam-wang was so frightened that he fainted. He probably didn't see what just happened!

Very good. The system's cleanup was also very quick. In the blink of an eye, even the bloodstains splattered on the ground by the intelligent butcher were cleaned up completely, as if the wild boar had never existed.

Thinking about what had just happened, her legs were still trembling uncontrollably.

By the way, Sanwang? Sanwang?

Liang Shuyan quickly pulled Sanwang down from the tree and shook him vigorously: "Sanwang, Sanwang, wake up!"

Upon seeing him, Liu cried out in fright, "Mother, what happened to Sanwang? Did he get eaten by a wild boar?!"

Sanwang opened his eyes, probably startled by Liu's crying: "Mother, where's the wild boar? I, I'm alright!"

It seemed that Sanwang didn't remember what had just happened, and Liang Shuyan finally breathed a sigh of relief!

"Where's the wild boar, Mother? I saw it about to pounce. I saw it too. I knew it was targeting me. I thought that if it ate me, it would let Mother and Second Sister-in-law go!"

Hearing this, Liang Shuyan felt a pang of sorrow. Liu Shi rushed over and pulled at Jin Sanwang, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? Thank goodness, Mother, where's the wild boar? How did it get away?"

"Oh, I just heard a lion's roar. The wild boar must have heard it and run away!"

Liang Shuyan made this casual remark, and neither Liu Shi nor Sanwang suspected anything.

"Mother, let's hurry back. What if we encounter another lion? Wouldn't that be even more dangerous?"

Liang Shuyan nodded: "Okay, let's walk and see if we can pick any wild vegetables by the roadside. When we get back, Mom will cook something nice for us today!"

Feeling something was amiss, Liu picked up the basket she had gathered and said, "Mother, tell me, are these mushrooms really edible? What if we eat them and die from the poison? Wouldn't that be terrible?"

It was clear that Liu was still worried that these mushrooms might be poisonous. How outdated the ancients were! Liang Shuyan thought to herself, "No, don't worry!"

Sanwang walks with a limp. His leg got stuck in a tree branch earlier, and he's still having some difficulty walking.

Zhang was cooking in the shanty. She figured her mother-in-law would be back from the mountain soon. She soaked some rice in the pot and then ran to the yard to fetch some firewood.

A fierce voice came from outside the door: "Is Jin Dashan here? Will he pay back the gambling debts he owes us today?"

When Zhang saw the man leading the group, he was three feet tall and held a gleaming knife. Behind him were more than a dozen burly men carrying sticks, their fierce eyes terrifying Zhang so much that she collapsed to the ground in fright.

"Da, Dashan, you lost money, when did this happen?"

"What's wrong? Don't you know? Look at this!"

A piece of paper floated down in front of Zhang's eyes, clearly stating: "Jin Dashan owes 100 taels of gambling money!"

Upon seeing this number, Zhang was so frightened that her eyes widened and her whole body trembled: "It's over, Dashan, Dashan has caused trouble! Where are we going to get 100 taels of silver? We don't even have rice or flour to eat at home now, where would we get so much silver?"

The leader of the men in black placed the bright knife directly against Zhang's neck, and Zhang was so frightened that she wet her pants.

"Pay back the money! If you don't pay back the money today, I'll kill your whole family!"

The old lady had just finished coaxing her granddaughter Niu Niu to sleep in the inner room, and now she slowly walked out, leaning on a cane.

"In broad daylight, are you trying to kill me? If anything happens to my granddaughter-in-law today, don't blame this old woman for making trouble for you!"

"Can't get through? You old hag, do you know why we came to your house? If it weren't for your good-for-nothing grandson gambling and accumulating gambling debts, would we be willing to come to your poor, remote place?"

"Where are those barking dogs coming from, barking and howling in our house?" A loud voice came from outside the door.
