Chapter 74 Chapter 74
Yue Xiulan paused, her gaze directed towards the distant mountains, her brows furrowed unconsciously. "We absolutely cannot go any deeper into the mountains. The terrain over there is complex, and there are wild animals lurking. It's too dangerous!"
"I know, Sister Yue." Chen Zhaoyue nodded obediently: "I promise not to go too deep."
Fang Ming also came over and added, "Last year, a new military wife accidentally wandered off and got lost. In the end, it was a patrolling soldier who found her."
She made a frightened expression: "It scared everyone."
Chen Zhaoyue looked at the concerned eyes of the three military wives and solemnly assured: "Don't worry, I will be within your sight."
Yue Xiulan then smiled and patted her shoulder: "Come on, I'll take you to a good place. The wild vegetables there are so juicy!"
The four of them climbed all the way to the middle of the mountain before stopping.
The forest here is lush and green, and the sunlight shines through the layers of branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground.
Looking around, you can see not only abundant wild vegetables, but also various wild delicacies and medicinal herbs.
"Sister Chen, do you have the herbs you want here?" Yue Xiulan wiped the sweat from her forehead and placed the backpack on a flat bluestone.
Shen Zhaoyue looked around, and his eyes suddenly lit up. This was indeed a good place!
Wild astragalus, angelica, bupleurum, and even a few rare herbs, this was better than she expected!
"Yes, right here!" Her voice was filled with unconcealed joy, and her almond-shaped eyes sparkled with excitement.
Seeing her like this, Yue Xiulan smiled knowingly: "Then let's split up. You pick herbs and we dig wild vegetables."
As he spoke, he asked Fang Ming and Liu Fang to squat down and skillfully dig up the fresh wild vegetables with a small shovel.
Chen Zhaoyue also took off his backpack, found a place and started digging herbs.
Not far away, Yue Xiulan looked up at Chen Zhaoyue from time to time. Seeing that she was concentrating on picking herbs, she finally felt relieved and continued to dig fresh shepherd's purse.
Chen Zhaoyue hummed a little tune softly and carefully placed the collected herbs into the bamboo basket.
With the nourishment of the spiritual spring, the medicinal effects of these herbs will definitely double.
As she picked them, she quietly put a few herbs of excellent quality into the space, preparing to go back and cultivate them first.
Before I knew it, the sun had risen to noon.
The scorching sun penetrated the gaps in the woods, casting tiny spots of light on the ground.
Even with the shelter of trees, the four of them were sweating profusely as the temperature rose.
"The sun is getting higher, let's take a break!" Yue Xiulan wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked up at the sky.
In fact, they had already dug enough wild vegetables, but in order to allow Chen Zhaoyue to collect more medicinal herbs, they stayed on the mountain and did not mention going down the mountain.
"Sister Chen, do you have any food with you?" Yue Xiulan asked as she took out two steamed buns wrapped in cloth from her backpack.
The golden steamed buns exude a faint wheat aroma, which is particularly tempting.
Chen Zhaoyue had no experience, and since he had space, he didn't even think about bringing food.
Although everyone carried a backpack when going up the mountain, it was obvious that hers was the only one that was empty.
"Fortunately, I brought it to you in advance. Come and eat something!" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yue Xiulan walked up to her and stuffed the steamed bun into her hand without saying a word.
Fang Ming, who was about to come over to give her steamed buns, saw this and took out the water bottle and stuffed it into Shen Zhaoyue's hand: "Are you thirsty? I see you didn't bring a water bottle, drink some water!"
"Thank you, Sister Yue, thank you, Sister Fang." Shen Zhaoyue took the things and looked at the three people with sweat on their heads, and her mind couldn't help but move.
This morning we climbed mountains and dug wild vegetables, and the physical exertion should not be underestimated.
Although it was not convenient for her to take out the food in the space, she could provide everyone with some spiritual spring water to drink.
Shen Zhaoyue looked around and suddenly said, "Sister Yue, I want to go to the bathroom."
Yue Xiulan immediately asked, "Do you want us to accompany you? It's not safe on the mountain."
Chen Zhaoyue quickly waved her hand: "No, no, I'll be back soon."
Seeing this, Yue Xiulan thought she was shy and smiled knowingly: "Okay, then we'll go to the small pavilion next to you and wait for you."
She pointed to a wooden pavilion not far away and said, "Come directly to us when you're done."
"Okay." Chen Zhaoyue nodded and turned to walk deeper into the woods.
In order to avoid being mistakenly intruded by the wives of soldiers living in the family compound, conspicuous red signs are set up in the areas where soldiers train and patrol in the mountains.
Chen Zhaoyue carefully avoided these places and deliberately found a corner that was quiet, secluded and inconspicuous.
As soon as the person walked behind the tree, the figure disappeared completely.
"Miss?" Johnny's electronic eyes lit up with surprise when he saw Chen Zhaoyue suddenly appear.
You know, these days, the lady only has time to come in at night, and this is the first time she comes in during the day.
Poor young lady from a wealthy family, she married a poor man and now has to work like a slave!
"What kind of outfit are you wearing?" Shen Zhaoyue widened her eyes and looked at the robot in maid outfit in front of her, almost choking on her own saliva.
I saw the tall Johnny wearing a lace maid skirt and an exaggerated bow on his head. The picture was really eye-catching!
"My new work clothes look great, don't they?" Johnny spun around excitedly.
The hem of her skirt fluttered as she moved, revealing her strong, muscular legs underneath.
In order to make it more human, real leg hair was added, and delicate lace was added. The picture is so weird that it is unbearable to look at.
"I specifically referred to the most popular maid cafe style!" Johnny's voice was full of pride.
Chen Zhaoyue held his forehead, feeling his temples throbbing: "Change it back for me quickly!"
She almost gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words.
Johnny felt like he was poured with a bucket of cold water. His arms dropped down and his head drooped in grievance: "But Miss, I want to give you the best service experience..."
Its electronic eyes gleamed a pitiful blue.
Chen Zhaoyue took a deep breath and tried to calm his shocked visual nerves.
She suddenly realized an absurd fact: as a living human being, why should she compete with a robot in terms of dress aesthetics?
"Forget it." She waved her hand helplessly and walked straight to the dining table: "Dress however you like!"
Then he slumped down in his chair and said, "Go cook, just make something to eat."
Johnny's electronic eyes lit up instantly, and he responded cheerfully, "Yes, miss!"
It walked towards the kitchen with an exaggerated "cat walk", and the hem of its skirt swayed with its movements.
Chen Zhaoyue simply closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind.
The restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows are bright and transparent, allowing you to take in the entire view of the spiritual field.
Chen Zhaoyue sipped the honey lemonade prepared by Johnny while looking at the translucent timing panel above the spiritual field outside the window.
