The female lead, Yun Siying, transmigrates from the apocalypse to a world set in the 1970s. She possesses a personal dimension (space), wood-type abilities, and mental powers.
She thought she...
Two and a half hours later, after a deep digging by the two, all thirteen ginsengs were dug out. They were of different sizes, and the largest one had a thick rhizome, a light yellow or yellow-brown surface, and a hard texture.
Yun Siying took the ginseng and looked at it, and said in shock: "I didn't expect that the oldest ginseng is fifty years old, and the youngest is more than ten years old. We are really lucky. Let's split the ginseng in half."
"No need, you discovered these ginsengs, so they belong to you." Nangong Ruochen looked at her and saw that she was in pain, but she still wanted to give her half of it out of principle. He thought she was more adorable this way.
But I am happy for her. If these ginsengs are sold, I can get a very generous sum of money, and she doesn't have to worry about having no money. Although I can give her money, she hasn't expressed her feelings yet and the relationship is not confirmed. According to her personality, she will not accept the money given by me.
During these days of getting along, I found that she trusted me more and more, and I was used to being close to her, but it was not the time to confess my feelings yet. I had to let myself live in her heart quietly.
I can feel that she is very defensive. If I confess now, I am afraid I will scare her away. It seems I need to work harder.
"Whoever sees it gets a share. Let's split this ginseng equally." Yun Siying felt that although she was not a good person, she was grateful for Nangong Ruochen's care for her during her time in the countryside.
"Siying, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have discovered these ginsengs. If you feel bad, just treat me to a few more meals. Also, if you want to sell the ginsengs in your house, you can come to me and I can sell them to you at a high price." Nangong Ruochen refused to accept the ginsengs no matter what.
"Great!" If you don't know, you might think this is a big white radish! Since the dog didn't want it, she wouldn't give it to him. No one would force a cow to drink water. Yun Siying put the ginseng from her dog into the backpack with its roots and leaves, but actually put it into the space, and planted it in her body with her mind.
The two looked around for a while, but after not finding any other ginseng, they left with some regret. They walked to a stream, looked at the clear stream, and stopped to wash their muddy hands.
Nangong Ruochen found a clean stone, wiped it with his sleeve, and said to Yun Siying: "Siying, come here and sit down for a while. I'll go collect firewood and bake the buns to heat them up."
Yun Siying sat obediently aside, enjoying the cool breeze, picking up stones from the ground and throwing them into the stream from time to time, until Nangong Ruochen burned some charcoal and took out some white steamed buns to roast on the charcoal.
"I have a roast chicken here. You can roast it together." Yun Siying took out a cold roast chicken from the space and handed it to Nangong Ruochen.
Then she watched Nangong Ruochen squatting beside the pile of chicken and flipping the steamed buns. From her angle, she could just see his profile. His sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, high nose bridge, smooth jawline, and although his skin was a little dark, he looked handsome and resolute.
The slender man was looking through the food. He looked so handsome when he was concentrating on his work. She had never thought that he could be so handsome before.
Nangong Ruochen noticed Siying's somewhat obsessed look from the corner of his eye, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he continued to concentrate on flipping the food. Before long, an enticing aroma filled the air.
"It smells so good!" Yun Siying couldn't help but exclaim.
"Well, it's almost ready to eat." Nangong Ruochen stood up, carefully placed the roasted food on a large leaf, and handed it to Yun Siying, "Try it and see how it tastes."
Yun Siying took the food, took a bite, and her mouth was immediately filled with fragrance. "Delicious!" She smiled happily, her eyes curved into crescent shapes. The two of them were eating one bite of steamed bun and one bite of meat. At this time, Yun Siying suddenly stopped chewing, and her mouth gently picked up a few stones on the ground.
She looked intently at a patch of grass, where several wild ducks appeared. She threw out stones easily, and the stones scattered like fairy flowers, as if they had eyes, hitting one wild duck at a time. Five of them were hit at the same time and fell into the grass.
Nangong Ruochen watched Yun Siying's movements from beginning to end. Such accuracy, and hitting five wild ducks at the same time, shocked 놛. 놛 didn't have such a skill. It seemed that Siying was better than 놛 had imagined. She was worthy of being the girl 놛 liked. She was extraordinary.
"Siying, with your appearance, it would be a shame if you don't join the army."
"It's nothing to regret. I don't like being controlled by others. I like freedom. It's good to be free like this now." Yun Siying had been struggling all the way in her previous life. She couldn't even remember how many zombies she had killed. She had killed a lot of people. She didn't want to continue that kind of fighting and killing. She just wanted to live an ordinary life.
But such a stable life is only possible because of the soldiers' sacrifice, dedication and protection. Perhaps it is because she has gradually integrated into this world that she admires soldiers.
"Go and see if there are any duck eggs in the grass?" Nangong Ruochen stood up and walked in front and said.
Yun Siying? Are you going to have a hard time with the "eggs" today? She walked into the bushes awkwardly, gathered the wild ducks she had shot together, and began to search in the bushes. The two of them really found a lot of wild duck eggs, and Yun Siying even gave two wild duck eggs to Nangong Ruochen.
"Here, this wild duck stew is delicious."
“Thank you.” Nangong Ruochen accepted it. It was given to her by Siying. She would buy her something else instead. This way, their relationship would become closer.
The two returned to where they had just sat, finished the unfinished food, and continued walking forward. After walking for about ten minutes, they saw mushrooms growing well on the grass, one after another, in clusters, each one more tender and shiny than the other.
"Nangong Ruochen, there are so many mushrooms here, come and pick them." Yun Siying was very happy when she saw the large bunch of mushrooms. She jumped over and squatted down to start picking mushrooms.
"I'll be right there." Seeing her happy, Dong Xiao was very happy, even happier than when she got the military medal. However, this girl didn't notice Dong Xiao's secret feelings for her at all, which made Dong Xiao worried.
“Nangong Ruochen, there are so many mushrooms here, let’s pick them all!” Yun Siying was used to picking up supplies when looking for them in the apocalypse, so of course she didn’t want to watch the food slip away in front of her.
"Okay, the harvest these days is good. We can dry the mushrooms we picked, and we can have an extra dish in the winter." Nangong Ruochen nodded in agreement.
After picking the mushrooms here, the two of them filled their two backpacks. They looked at the watch and it was already three o'clock. Time passed so quickly.
"It's getting late, we should go back." Nangong Ruochen looked at her reluctant look and reminded her that it was even more dangerous in the mountains at night.
