The bright things in the sky must be stars, which proves it's nighttime.

But what is that shiny thing on the ground?

Could it be stars reflected in the river?

That's not right. Although there are small ponds and streams in the deep mountains, they are not very big. And this fat bear said there are big holes in the ground. Could it be that an earthquake shook the mountains and created holes?

"Bear, can you take me to see it?"

"Okay, beautiful bear, come here and sit on my back. It's far away, so far away, but I can run fast."

Fat Bear, who was sitting, dropped to the ground on all fours upon hearing Yan Xia's words.

He gestured for her to come up.

Goodness, did he get himself a mount?

Yan Xia sighed as she stepped on the stone, straddled the fat bear, and held tightly to its fur.

"I'm starting to run, beautiful bear, hold on tight!"

Although the fat bear is fat.

It can run extremely fast.

Yan Xia felt like her internal organs were about to be shaken out.

She leaned down and pressed herself tightly against the fat bear's back.

That makes me feel a little better.

It took almost half an hour to reach our destination. It was even farther than Fat Bear's cave, and it must be the highest and deepest place in the mountains.

"Beauty Bear, here it is! Look, what a huge hole!"

Yan Xia rolled off its body and walked forward. Not far away, she saw a huge hole.

It's very round.

Looking into the cave, one can vaguely see a green light emanating from the darkness.

Like the eyes of a jackal.

It looks very deep, at least several tens of meters deep.

There was nowhere to go down in the surrounding area.

Could it be a meteorite crater?

The more Yan Xia looked at it, the more it resembled the real thing, and she lost interest.

She thought there were some treasures inside, like gold, silver, or diamond mines. She went back to the fat bear and prepared to leave.

No wonder the original owner didn't have any memories of earthquakes; it must have been when a meteorite fell from the sky and hit near Fat Bear's house, causing a small-scale earthquake.

And since it was nighttime and the place was far away, the villagers must have thought the sound was thunder.

That's why I didn't take it seriously.

"Bear, take me away."

Okay—

Yan Xia climbed back onto the fat bear, ready to return to her original spot.

She stopped Fat Bear just a few minutes after they set off.

"Bear, you've been staying in the deep mountains for so long, have you found any treasures?"

What is a treasure?

The bear looked at Yan Xia with its clear eyes.

"Hmm...like ginseng? Ganoderma lucidum?"

"Is ginseng and lingzhi delicious?"

Xiongxiong didn't know what this was.

"Lingzhi looks like this mushroom, but much bigger. Ginseng, on the other hand, looks like a wild grass, but it has a long stem in the middle with red fruits on it, which look like red flowers from a distance. Have you ever noticed them?"

Yan Xia picked up an umbrella-shaped wild mushroom from the ground and used it as a reference for the fat bear.

She found another red wildflower and showed it to Fat Bear what color she was referring to.

She is extremely short of money right now.

"I think I've seen it before, but it was trampled to pieces by a bear. It was huge, about this big—"

The fat bear gestured with its paws.

"A century-old Ganoderma lucidum?"

Yan Xia was heartbroken.

According to Fat Bear's description, it must be at least a hundred years old to be this big.

In ancient times, without cultivation techniques, let alone a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, even a ten-year-old one would sell for several ounces or even more than ten ounces.

A century-old Ganoderma lucidum would sell for at least one hundred taels of silver.

"You silly bear, never step on it again. Remember the location, and when I go into the mountains, take me to pick some. I'll trade you some delicious food!"

Yan Xia remembered that she had a bag of fresh flower cakes in her space, so she quickly took them out and fed them to the animal.

"Wow, what is this? It's sweet and delicious!"

The fat bear ate all five pieces.

"Fresh flower cakes, I made them myself, aren't they delicious? As long as you behave well and help me find the treasure, I'll bring you other delicious treats next time I go into the mountains. Have you ever had roasted meat? It's better than raw meat, so fragrant, sprinkled with cumin, and when you bite into it, it sizzles with oil, it's so authentic."

Although the fat bear couldn't understand, its mouth was watering with anticipation.

"Bear is looking, bear is looking, beautiful bear is bringing bear some delicious food—"

"Oh, I remember now, there are those red berries you mentioned next to Bear's Cave."

Tempted by the delicious food, the chubby bear's small brain finally remembered some useful things, so he carried Yan Xia back to his cave.

The grizzly bear that had been chased away happened to be there too. It looked at Yan Xia, and its saliva started to drip out again.

"Cousin, what are you doing here again? Get out of here, or Xiongxiong will beat you up."

The two bears started arguing.

Yan Xia could understand what the fat bear was saying, but she couldn't understand what the grizzly bear on the other side was saying.

They cursed for seven or eight minutes.

The grizzly bear then left.

Why are you arguing with it?

Yan Xia asked.

"My cousin said it wanted to eat you and asked me to throw you to it. I yelled at it and chased it away. Beauty Bear, next time you see your cousin, you must hide. It's so mean."

"Um."

Yan Xia agreed.

In my heart, I've already sentenced this grizzly bear to death.

The man and the bear arrived at the cave, where there was a jungle.

Yan Xia stepped over the rocks and climbed up.

Not far away, a bright red flower, about the size of a palm, seemed to beckon to her.

Yan Xia walked over quickly.

The red flowers don't have petals; instead, they contain individual fruits.

These are ginseng flowers!

Yan Xia was incredibly excited.

Since she didn't bring any tools, she picked up a flat stone and sat on the ground, carefully digging at it.

Fat Bear watched her dig from the side.

According to the elders, ginseng can run away, so when digging for ginseng, you must tie it with a rope, and it must be a red rope.
