There were outsiders in the mountains, so Jiang Wan didn't dare go any further. But if the family had no income, they would really have trouble making ends meet.
Su Yun still needs to recuperate. He won't be able to achieve anything great with just the one acre of land at the foot of the mountain.
She had to find a way to get into the mountains.
In the distance, a dark shadow walked out of the village and headed towards the foot of the mountain.
When he looked closely, it was Shen Qiwen.
Jiang Wan stood there for a while, then raised her hand and waved towards someone not far away.
"Brother Shen!"
Hearing the voice, Shen Qiwen was stunned for a moment, turned around and walked towards Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan approached with a smile, "Brother Shen, are you going into the mountains?"
A faint smell of soapberry came to his face, which was quite fragrant. Shen Qiwen subconsciously took two steps back and kept a distance from Jiang Wan.
"Um."
"Can you take me one?"
Shen Qiwen looked at her meaningfully, and Jiang Wan stiffened her neck and said.
"As you know, my family is having a hard time right now, so I thought about going up the mountain to find some wild vegetables to supplement our diet and also to change our taste."
After saying that, she glanced around and whispered.
"Thank you, Brother Shen, for not telling my father about what happened last time."
If Jiang Zexing knew that she had secretly gone up the mountain and met bad people, he would definitely not allow her to go up the mountain again. Then, she would not be able to do what she wanted to do.
"I...I'm not afraid that there are still bad guys on the mountain, so I want to ask you for help. Then, when I find something delicious, I can treat Brother Shen to a good meal, right?"
"I have something else to do."
Shen Qiwen declined politely.
He went up the mountain to do some serious business, so how could he bring Jiang Wan with him?
But… thinking of the food she cooked, he swallowed subconsciously and spoke.
"You can be on the outskirts of the mountain, it's safe."
It also made it convenient for him to keep an eye on her.
He didn't say this. After all, Jiang Wan was still under his suspicion, and her behavior was indeed a bit suspicious.
Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. She could guess that Shen Qiwen was not an ordinary person. She had met that man by chance before and was saved by him.
It's normal for him to have doubts.
"Then I'll write about Brother Shen first."
She smiled with her eyebrows curved, and her eyes seemed to be filled with starlight. Shen Qiwen glanced at her and quickly looked away.
This girl is really something, she has such a beautiful smile, she is so attractive.
What Shen Qiwen said was indeed correct. There was indeed no one outside the mountain. He must have met him by accident last time, or maybe that person was left alone and ran to the outskirts of the mountain.
But this has nothing to do with her.
I finally made it up the mountain, and this time I must look for some herbs nearby.
There were a lot of plantains on the ground. Jiang Wan picked up a small shovel and started digging. After digging a small piece, she followed the mountain road, pushed aside the winding dead grass, and walked to the other side that she had not been to before.
Along the way, there are also a lot of green purslane. When they are blanched in hot water and eaten with other ingredients, they are very delicious.
"Crack—"
Jiang Wan's feet landed on the ground and her attention was attracted by a plant.
Looking at it, Jiang Wan's eyes lit up with joy.
Is this Chinese yam? This is also an herb, and it's more valuable than the herbs she found before. As long as this thing is of good quality, the more complete the wild Chinese yam is, the higher the price it can be sold to the pharmacy.
After finding this, Jiang Wan naturally would not sit there and wait for death. She took out her tools and started digging.
The yams around me were piling up more and more. Before I knew it, they were about 20 to 30 kilograms in size, forming a small pile.
Jiang Wan had a bitter face. She was so excited about digging that she forgot she was alone. She couldn't carry so many things back at once.
"You haven't left yet?"
Shen Qiwen's voice suddenly rang out, and his gaze fell on the neatly arranged yams on the ground, pausing for a moment.
"Brother Shen."
Jiang Wan had not expected Shen Qiwen to appear in front of her.
After all, looking at his demeanor this morning, I thought he was going to stay in the mountains all day.
"I just dug up some yams, and I accidentally dug up too much."
"Eh? Brother Shen, what are you doing..."
Her eyes fell on his hand, in which Shen Qiwen held a strange-shaped stone, somewhat whitish and sandy in color.
Suddenly, a fragment flashed through her mind.
In his previous life, Jiang Yue found a stone from somewhere, just like the one in his hand.
A piece of extremely green jade was opened, which looked free of impurities and flawless under the sunlight.
Later, she shined at the palace banquet with the help of that piece of jade.
In this mountain?
"know?"
Shen Qiwen's voice rose gently, and this was the first time Jiang Wan heard a hint of emotion in his tone.
He weighed the stone in his hand, his eyes deep.
"Looks familiar."
Jiang Wan nodded and looked up in confusion at the arm that was suddenly stretched out.
"Don't you look familiar? Take it."
She took it out carefully and looked around carefully. She had seen the stone in Jiang Yue's hand before, and it looked exactly the same as this one.
"Brother Shen, is this thing from the mountains?"
Shen Qiwen's eyes flickered slightly, neither confirming nor denying.
"You know this?"
"Well, I accidentally saw someone holding this kind of stone. There is a mystery inside this stone."
Shen Qiwen nodded, but didn’t care much.
"Here you go."
"Are you going to take all of this back?"
The topic was suddenly changed and Jiang Wan didn't react for a moment.
