Chapter 42 Falling off the cliff
Su Xiangwan looked at Hou San, whose expression was lewd. Her panicked look vanished, and she said coldly, "It seems you have no humanity left. In that case, I won't hesitate any longer."
As she spoke, she pulled out the chili water she had prepared earlier from her pocket and splashed it on Hou San's face.
"Ah!" Hou San hadn't expected Su Xiangwan to pull such a move.
I felt a burning pain in my eyes, and I was rolling on the ground in agony.
Su Xiangwan looked at the disheveled Hou San and glanced at the empty chili water bottle in his hand.
Hmm, not bad. After Hou San's experiment, this chili water works quite well.
With it for Gu Yanfei and her mother to protect themselves, they can feel much more at ease.
As for Hou San…
Su Xiangwan hardened her heart, picked up a stone from the side, and smacked him on the head.
After knocking the disgusting thing unconscious, Su Xiangwan kicked it into the nearby bushes.
This mountain behind is an undeveloped primeval forest, not to mention that it is full of venomous snakes and birds of prey.
Even wolf packs and wild boars are not uncommon.
Whether Hou San can make it down the mountain alive is up to fate!
After dealing with Hou San, Su Xiangwan looked around but couldn't find Xie Manman.
Seeing that no one was around, Su Xiangwan simply took out a telescope from her spatial storage and searched down the mountain, but did not see Xie Manman coming down.
They then searched carefully up the mountain.
A short while later, a yellow figure was spotted flashing by.
Found it!
Luckily, Xie Manman was wearing yellow today, otherwise I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to find her.
But what was she doing up the mountain?
Could it be that they really are here to dig up ginseng?
After thinking it over, Su Xiangwan decided to follow them and see what happened.
She didn't care whether she could get the ginseng or not, as long as Xie Manman didn't get it.
Xie Manman came to find Lingzhi full of expectations, but in the end, she had only heard Xu Yirou mention it in her previous life.
All I know is the approximate location where the Ganoderma lucidum was harvested.
But the exact location is unclear.
Therefore, she could only search roughly based on that location.
Finally, after searching for almost an hour, she found the Ganoderma lucidum on a protruding cliff.
There is a drop of about fifty meters between the cliff and the ground.
Although the drops are cushioned by slopes, if you fall down, you're likely to get seriously hurt.
Looking at the Ganoderma lucidum, which was as big as a washbasin, Xie Manman felt as if she could see more than three hundred yuan beckoning to her.
Without thinking too much about the immediate situation, he took a vine from the nearby greenery, tied one end around his waist, and the other end to a nearby tree.
After testing the vines' sturdiness, she climbed down the protruding part of the cliff without hesitation.
In her previous life, Xu Yirou was able to safely pick the Ganoderma lucidum. She refused to believe that, as a reborn person blessed by heaven, picking such a Ganoderma lucidum would be a piece of cake.
However, to her surprise, when she had climbed halfway up, she heard a "huffing and puffing" sound coming from not far away.
"who?"
Xie Manman's face turned pale, and she asked in a cold voice.
As soon as she finished speaking, a wild boar emerged from the bushes.
"Wild...wild boar..."
Upon seeing the wild boar, Xie Manman felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Keep in mind that at this moment, she was completely bound to vines and trees.
They were stuck on the cliff face, neither up nor down, and couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
Even if she were to be grounded now, she probably still couldn't outrun a wild boar.
The wild boar lowered its head and immediately spotted Xie Manman on the cliff. It then paddled and charged towards her.
"Ah! You...you stay away!" Xie Manman was so frightened that she slipped and fell off the cliff, landing in mid-air.
The wild boar bit through empty air, its fierce eyes fixed on Xie Manman, clearly unwilling to let go of such a prey.
They just kept spinning around on the cliff.
Just as Xie Manman breathed a sigh of relief, she saw the vines binding her waist snap after being trampled by the wild boar.
"ah!"
In despair, she could only let out a scream before plummeting down the cliff.
The wild boar stared blankly at its prey, which was clearly hanging in mid-air, and wondered why it had somehow "flown" away right before its eyes.
He could only groan helplessly a few times before turning and leaving.
When Su Xiangwan arrived late, all she saw was the vine that had broken in two and the messy wild boar footprints all around.
Could it be that Xie Manman ran away when she saw the wild boar coming, after she was only halfway through her work?
Su Xiangwan looked around but didn't see Xie Manman.
Then his gaze fell on the large Ganoderma lucidum.
Regardless of the reason why Xie Manman left.
But she gladly accepted the large Ganoderma lucidum.
The distance of the cliff was troublesome for Xie Manman, but it was very easy for Su Xiangwan, who carried a rope ladder with her.
They simply tied the rope ladder to a big tree and descended a few steps.
The large Ganoderma lucidum was delivered to me directly.
After collecting the Ganoderma lucidum, Su Xiangwan didn't waste any more time and hurried down the mountain.
By the time Su Xiangwan got home, it was already eleven o'clock.
Seeing Gu Yanxiao walking right to her doorstep, Su Xiangwan's expression changed, and she thought to herself, "Oh no!"
Sure enough, when Gu Yanxiao saw that Su Xiangwan had returned from the direction of the back mountain, his eyes narrowed. Although he didn't say anything, Su Xiangwan still felt an invisible pressure coming at her.
"I……"
She quickly spoke, about to explain, when she saw Gu Yanxiao rush to her side.
After looking her over for a moment, he asked, "Did you go to the back mountain?"
"Hmm." Su Xiangwan nodded, then quickly added, "I can explain."
Seeing this, Gu Yanfei shrank her neck and said, "I'll go cook first."
She didn't want to get involved in her brother and sister-in-law's affairs at this time.
Otherwise, if her older brother gets humiliated by her sister-in-law, she'll become his punching bag.
"You have no sense of loyalty." Su Xiangwan glanced at Gu Yanfei, who was fleeing like a quail, and said.
Gu Yanfei chuckled. So what if there's no loyalty? It's better than not being able to breathe.
Ignoring their witty banter, Gu Yanxiao took Su Xiangwan's hand, led her into the courtyard, closed the gate, and went inside before asking, "What happened?"
His anger and pressure just now were certainly not directed at his wife.
He believed that Su Xiangwan would never have gone to such a dangerous place as the back mountain without having a specific reason, before she had a clear understanding of the situation in Bakushu Village.
