By the time Jiang Tangtang finished arguing with the system, Lu Shiyan had already tamed the wild horse.
He reached out to Jiang Tangtang, "Come up."
A handsome man paired with a fine horse is a sight to behold. But no matter how pleasing to the eye it is, it can't change the fact that Jiang Tangtang can't ride a horse.
She shook her head firmly: "I won't, I'm scared."
Lu Shiyan still held out his hand to her, "Come up here and I'll teach you."
Seeing that Jiang Tangtang was still hesitant, he added, "I'll go pick all the wild fruits on the cliff later. You stay on the horse. There are a lot of snakes and insects in the mountains."
Jiang Tangtang was both scared that another snake might suddenly jump out from the ground and a little annoyed. "Are you making fun of me?"
Lu Shiyan said, "No, I was just stating the facts."
Jiang Tangtang pursed her lips, finally convincing herself to place her hand in his.
Lu Shiyan looked at her, then gently pulled her onto the horse.
Jiang Tangtang was extremely nervous because the newly tamed wild horse had neither a saddle nor a reins.
"Relax." His hot breath brushed against her ear. Only then did Jiang Tangtang realize that she was being held tightly in his arms.
Although they hadn't been in this world for long, the two had already had many more intimate physical contacts than this.
But Jiang Tangtang's heart had never been beating so violently as it was now.
For a moment, she felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her control.
As for Lu Shiyan's explanation of horseback riding techniques, she was completely confused and barely listened to a word he said.
"Did you understand?" Lu Shiyan asked after leading Jiang Tangtang around the mountain valley several times.
Jiang Tangtang was in a daze and hadn't heard much, so it's no wonder she couldn't understand anything. But she felt that if the two of them stayed on the horse in that position any longer, she might become the first transmigrated female protagonist to die from a heart attack.
So she shamelessly declared, "I understand."
In Lu Shiyan's opinion, there was no need to learn how to ride a horse. He had already taught her carefully three times, so she should have learned it by now. He then dismounted with peace of mind.
Leaving his embrace, Jiang Tangtang was finally able to breathe. But at the same time, she also realized that after Lu Shiyan left, she had no support behind her. She was sitting upright on the horse's back without anyone to hold onto, and she might fall off at any moment.
Moreover, this horse was as docile as a cat in front of Lu Shiyan, but as soon as Lu Shiyan left, it started to become unruly.
Jiang Tangtang quickly called out to Lu Shiyan, who hadn't gone far, "Husband, carry me down."
Lu Shiyan turned to look at her, "Are you sure?"
Jiang Tangtang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I'm sure."
"Aren't you afraid of snakes anymore?" Lu Shiyan asked as he walked back.
How could he not be afraid of snakes?
But compared to the constant possibility of being thrown off her horse, Jiang Tangtang felt that she might be able to overcome it.
But when Lu Shiyan carried her back to the grass, Jiang Tangtang realized that she couldn't overcome it at all. She observed the surrounding terrain and said, "Husband, when you go to pick wild fruits and pass by that big rock, could you take me with you? I can stay on that big rock."
There was a very tall rock at the bottom of the cliff. Jiang Tangtang thought there shouldn't be any snakes there, and even if there were, they wouldn't be able to climb up.
However, it was too high for her to climb.
Lu Shiyan didn't say much. He carried Jiang Tangtang to the big rock and then went to pick wild fruits from the cliff.
Jiang Tangtang was too far away to notice what the wild fruit she picked was, but now that she's closer, she can see for herself that it's actually a patch of wild goji berries.
The man's long, slender, fair hands moved swiftly among the green leaves, collecting the small red berries into a cloth bag. It was such a simple action, yet it was so beautiful that it was hard to look away.
Jiang Tangtang felt her throat was inexplicably dry. She licked her lips and looked away.
Turning her head, she noticed an old tree covered in vines, and the fruit growing on those vines looked a bit like the jelly fruit she had seen on Douyin before.
When Lu Shiyan came over after picking the goji berries, Jiang Tangtang pointed to the vine and said, "Husband, there are still fruits over there."
"You can't eat that." Lu Shiyan handed the cloth bag full of wild goji berries to Jiang Tangtang.
"Husband, please pick some for me to see." Jiang Tangtang had seen it on Douyin before. It was said that if you cut the fruit open, take out the pit, dry it, and wash it in boiling water, you could make ice jelly.
She found it quite interesting.
However, she is a complete couch potato. Even if she finds something interesting, she is too lazy to try it. At most, she will just watch a few more short videos.
Now that we've traveled through time and met again, of course we have to satisfy her curiosity. We'll pick some and try it out to see if we can really make jelly.
Lu Shiyan rubbed his temples, looking unusually troubled. "Then you wait."
Soon, Lu Shiyan returned with a few fruits and patiently broke them open to show her, saying, "You can't eat them."
Jiang Tangtang watched as he broke open the fruit, revealing pale yellow seeds inside, and happily said, "That's how it is. Pick these with seeds, pick a lot of them. These seeds can be dried and used to make jelly."
Lu Shiyan didn't know what jelly was, but seeing Jiang Tangtang's confident expression, he figured there must be a way to eat this fruit that he didn't know about. So he took out another bag, climbed the old tree, and quickly picked the fruit.
Jiang Tangtang sat on a rock eating wild goji berries, making grand promises to him, "After the seeds of the jelly fruit are dried, I'll make jelly for you, my husband! Husband, pick more of them."
Lu Shiyan didn't care much for food. After his soul transmigrated into this body, he ate mostly to maintain the body's functions.
But hearing Jiang Tangtang's sweet voice, he felt a rare moment of anticipation.
While Lu Shiyan was picking jelly fruits, Jiang Tangtang looked around the area. Unfortunately, there was nothing else to eat.
Jiang Tangtang complained to the system: "You scared me so much I'm traumatized by this mountain. Aren't you going to make it up to me?"
Seeing that the system remained unresponsive, Jiang Tangtang knew it was playing dead. Ignoring it, she said to herself, "Fine, I don't want your compensation. Just give me what I deserve!"
Two fine horses, one big and one small, what more could you want?
Jiang Tangtang was naturally satisfied with getting two horses after just a little trouble with the male lead.
However, now that the transportation issue is resolved, the most pressing problem—water—remains unresolved. [It was promised that once my character's reputation reached 60%, I could use scanning permissions. My reputation is well over 60% now, isn't it? Scan me quickly, where's the water source on this mountain?]
[Your character profile score did reach the required level before you activated the reward, but you've already used it up by activating the random reward! It's now zero.]
Jiang Tangtang nearly jumped up. "How could you do this? You're even more capitalist than a capitalist!"
When Lu Shiyan returned carrying the jelly, he saw Jiang Tangtang looking sullen. He was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Why is she angry sitting here all by herself? He glanced down at the half-full sack of fruit in his hand and couldn't help but wonder if it was because he hadn't picked enough fruit.
