When Nanzhi returned home, it was already noon. Song Hanyan had not yet returned. She put down her basket and began to cook.

I steamed a few buns with the leftover flour, then washed the wild vegetables I brought back and stir-fried three dishes.

Since there were few seasonings, Namji only added oil and some salt.

Just as the meal was ready, Song Hanyan brought in a litter of rabbits and placed them in front of Nanzhi.

"A rabbit!" Nan Zhi exclaimed in surprise.

It was snow-white, with red eyes, about the size of a palm, fluffy, and very cute. Nanzhi had absolutely no resistance to fluffy things.

Seeing that she liked it, Song Hanyan breathed a sigh of relief: "All the girls in the village like it. I don't know what you like, but if you see something while hunting, you can bring it back."

Nan Zhi looked up and smiled: "I like it very much, thank you, Song Hanyan."

It's perfect for making spicy rabbit heads, but they're a bit small. However, they'll be ready to eat after a while.

After dinner, Song Hanyan washed the dishes, and Nanzhi tidied up the house. After finishing, she sat on the edge of the bed.

"What are you thinking about?" Song Hanyan asked when he came in and saw Nanzhi looking lost in thought.

Nan Zhi smiled and snapped out of her reverie: "It's nothing, just thinking about what I can do."

The couple acted like familiar strangers, answering each other's questions with a single, perfunctory response.

The main issue is that in modern times, she had never even held a man's hand, so it was quite unexpected that she would have to get married so soon after transmigrating.

Song Hanyan was an outsider, a hunter. The village did not allocate him any extra land, only this piece of land in front of his door, which was abandoned and overgrown with weeds.

Nan Zhi looked at the man beside her and said, "Song Hanyan, I want to clear the land in front of the door and plant some things."

The land outside the door has been unused for many years and is overgrown with weeds; it will need to be tidied up before it can be used.

"There are too many weeds, I'll go clear them away."

Without saying a word, Song Hanyan picked up a knife and a hoe and started working.

“I’ll help you.” Nanzhi stood up.

“No need,” Song Hanyan pressed her down to sit. “It’s all physical work, trust your man.”

And so this scene unfolded: a burly man, shirtless, was working hard, while his young wife sat at the door, her eyes sparkling with spring.

But Nanzhi did not forget her mission.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to cut grass in the back mountain to feed the rabbits, I also took the chance to review her medical records.

With the help of the magical beast, Nanzhi found several more medicinal herbs. As the herbs in the medical record continued to light up, Nanzhi's silver also increased.

The price of medicinal herbs varies depending on their rarity.

Some were worth a copper coin, while others were worth a thousand gold pieces.

Nan Zhi counted her money; she now had fifty taels of silver, plus what she had received from the Nan family, totaling fifty-five taels, plus one gold coin.

"Big sister, what are you doing here?" A familiar voice came from behind.

Nanzhi quickly put the silver into her pocket, thinking to herself, "How come I ran into him as soon as I went up the mountain?"

Nanzhi turned around: "Go up the mountain to cut grass to feed the rabbits."

Little Li San'er glanced at Nan Zhi's basket, which was indeed full of alfalfa for feeding rabbits.

“These are wild radishes I dug up from the mountain,” said Xiao Li San’er, taking a few radishes out of his basket and throwing them into Nan Zhi’s basket. “These are perfect for feeding rabbits.”

Nanzhi said thank you: "Thank you."

"Oh, it's just a few radishes. There are plenty on the mountain. If you need more, I'll go up the mountain to find some more."

Nanzhi stopped him, "No need, this is enough."

She was puzzled again: "Why doesn't anyone collect these?"

"Not really. It's dangerous in the mountains. Wild animals often roam around there. These things are in the mountains, and almost no one in the village dares to go up the mountain. I only went up the mountain because I had no other choice."

My family was poor, so we could only go into the mountains to pick wild fruits and vegetables to fill our stomachs. If we were lucky, we could also find a few bird eggs to satisfy our cravings.

"Big sister, what is this?"

Little Li San'er picked up a small white cub from the bushes behind him.

Nan Zhi's eyes widened immediately. She had been so focused on the money that she had forgotten to put the treasure beast into her spatial storage. However, no one in the village should know about this little guy.

"This is."

"This isn't going to be a puppy, is it?" Little Li San'er interrupted Nan Zhi.

"Uh, yes."

The beast began to struggle and squeal.

It is a divine beast of heaven and earth, not a puppy.

"The eldest sister's puppies are just different; they look so unique."

Nanzhi: "What's so special about it?"

Little Li San'er scratched his head: "It's especially ugly."

The beast struggled even more fiercely, kicking its short legs wildly, but it was held by the scruff of its neck.

You're ugly! Your whole family is ugly!

Nanzhi quickly rescued the treasure beast from his grasp.

Upon learning that Nanzhi was going to continue up the mountain, Xiao Li San'er insisted on following behind her to protect her, so Nanzhi had no choice but to let him follow.

Along the way, Nanzhi was digging for all sorts of medicinal herbs, which Xiao Li San'er found very intriguing.

"Sister, why are you digging up all this grass?" This is grass that cattle and sheep eat.

Nan Zhi held up the lantern grass in her hand: "Lantern grass is a Chinese medicinal herb that can clear heat, reduce swelling, and relieve pain."

"Congratulations, Master, on finding the lantern grass. You are hereby awarded one copper coin."

Nanzhi: Are lantern grasses really that cheap?

Little Li San'er exclaimed in surprise, "Big sister, you also know medicine?"

Nan Zhi remained silent; she had been forced into this situation by the medical authorities and had no other choice.

"Not many."

"Then it must be able to cure my grandma's illness?"

Looking into the hopeful eyes of the other person, Nanzhi couldn't bear to refuse.

"Cherry, can I ask you for help if I encounter something I don't understand?"

"sure."

"Including treating patients?"

Cherry: "Don't worry, Master. You're too useless in the early stages, but Cherry will teach you properly."

Nanzhi: You're the useless one, your whole family is useless.

"I can take a look, but my abilities are limited, so don't have too high hopes."

"Thank you, sister. Don't worry, sister. Go ahead and treat me. I won't blame you."

With each "elder sister" he was addressed, Nanzhi felt as if she were already in her forties or fifties, but seeing that sincere face, she couldn't bring herself to ask him to change his address.

Forget it, let's just leave it at that. She's fine as an older sister, it's not like she'll lose any weight.

The further you go, the more trees there are, and the path under your feet becomes visibly more difficult to walk on, with you frequently tripping over dead branches.

The dense forest blocked out the light, and Xiao Li San'er grew increasingly frightened.

"Big sister, if we go any further in, we'll reach the depths of the forest, which is extremely dangerous."

Nanzhi knew what he was worried about, so she dug out the medicinal herbs and put them in a small basket.

"That's right, we'll head back now."

The moment the two turned around, Nanzhi suddenly felt as if a cold ray of light was staring straight at her from behind.

The forest has everything, and she could manage on her own, but now that Xiao Li San'er is with her, Nan Zhi is unsure if she can protect him if danger comes.

The two quickened their pace and headed down the mountain.

Nanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief when she reached the bottom of the mountain.

She glanced back at the deep mountains, unsure what the thing was, but it was definitely not something good.
