After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Song Yining finally felt alive again and lay on the sofa with a satisfied expression.
It's been a long time since I've had such a proper meal. Noodles are still the most satisfying food.
Thinking that carbohydrates will become the standard in Anshi in the future, Song Yining recently missed her life in the modern world.
I eat all kinds of noodles every day, and I never have the same dish twice.
I really miss life there; the carbohydrate-rich steamed buns were absolutely amazing.
After reminiscing about my old life, I gradually got tired and went back to my room for a good night's sleep.
They have been busy in the mountains in Moyu City, Qin Province recently.
Unable to find any trace of those people, they went to another location to search.
I've become so wild lately that people who don't know me can't recognize me.
They had been traveling in the mountains, but thankfully the weather was getting warmer.
They haven't had any leads lately, so they've asked the villagers to help keep an eye out for any strangers.
The mountain people here mostly get married in the mountains. They rarely come out, and some elderly people have never left the mountains in their entire lives.
Having lived in the mountains all his life, he always greets outsiders warmly and tries to learn about their lives outside.
When the elderly people saw the soldiers, they would pour them water and introduce them to the people living in the area.
Don't underestimate these people in the village; they are the village's intelligence network.
They knew very well whether there were any unfamiliar faces in the village.
Mo Yucheng also explained the situation to the village chief. They would inquire about any strangers they had recently seen in each village they visited.
Song Yining rested in the space, listening to the calls of various animals in the forest.
Most people wouldn't dare stay overnight in the mountains, and the sound of crows adds to the mystery of the forest.
Song Yining didn't rest in the space either; whenever she had time, she would work overtime to study the potion.
I once read about some beauty creams in a book, and Song Yining thought about trying them out to see if they would work.
She was busy selling noodles in the space and didn't come out until it was almost dawn outside.
The outside world is quiet now, without the hustle and bustle of the night.
Song Yining came out of the space and looked around again.
Xiao Bai and Xiao Hui had already gone out to look for medicinal herbs they recognized, while Song Yining patrolled around the cave again.
Look around for anything unusual. The fact that the Shen family could hide things here suggests that this place had something unique about it back then.
Song Yining didn't rush down the mountain. Instead, she kept patrolling the surrounding area to see what was inside.
There's nothing above the cave; it's just like any other mountain.
I was very puzzled as to why the Shen family hid their things in such a remote mountain area.
Driven by curiosity, Song Yining didn't give up on going back; she wanted to take another look.
Undeterred, they searched again, but still found nothing.
She went down to the bottom of the cave to see what was going on, but stopped at the top of the stone steps and didn't go in again.
Let's see what's down in this cave. The Shen family patriarch didn't come here for no reason.
When I was packing things up yesterday, I discovered that the boxes inside the cave were from different periods.
This place should be a stronghold of the Shen family here. Let's see if there's anything different about it.
Since Little White and Little Gray weren't on the mountain, they went down to explore first.
Before long, Xiao Hui returned and relayed a message to Song Yining.
"Master, below is a flat area, which covers a fairly large area."
It can be seen that people used to live there, as there are still some ruins.
It's just that it's weathered over time, and you can't see any trace of its original appearance anymore.
Song Yining's guess was correct; this should be the villa that the Shen family built here in the past.
Looking at the terrain here, I felt a little confused. Why is it built here when the inside and outside are so far apart?
Fortunately, the path below wasn't too steep, and Song Yining was able to get down and see what the situation was like.
The wild vegetables on the mountain sprout late, and they've only grown about ten centimeters so far.
The descent was not too steep; it was a gentle slope all the way down.
There were also trees nearby, as thick as an arm, which served as a buffer and made it not too difficult to get down.
Looking down from above, it's still quite high, about fifty or sixty meters tall. This mountain is mostly made of rock and is quite sturdy.
Song Yining walked down step by step, and along the way she saw some rare medicinal herbs, which she also took into her possession.
It took them half an hour to walk down the steep slope from the top of the mountain.
You can see a large flat area below the mountain, and you can still see the ruins of houses that used to be there.
The view of the opposite mountain from the mountain we just came from is different. There are still a few meters left before we can go down.
I could see many traces of houses that had been built on the opposite side, so this place must have been a summer resort before.
After Song Yining went down to the bottom, she saw that the cave was completely invisible, and there was no trace of it below.
Looking at the surrounding buildings, it feels similar to a traditional courtyard house.
Now it's covered by weeds, and you can't tell what it used to look like.
Xiao Bai also rushed over upon hearing the news and reported the information he had gathered.
“Master, there is also a hot spring inside, and I also found some medicinal fields around it. They have been abandoned for a long time and no one has managed them.”
Upon hearing about the medicinal herb field, Song Yining immediately perked up and quickly followed to see what was going on.
The open space before the mountain stream was still quite large. Following the cracks in the rocks along the mountainside, we arrived at a place where medicinal herbs were planted everywhere.
