Chapter 209 Physiological Liking
I was too excited last night and spent half the day packing my things. Then Pei Jiuyan dragged me around to pack some more, and I didn't fall asleep until almost 1 a.m.
If it weren't for the fact that they were going to hunt in the wild forest today and would have to walk a long way, Pei Jiuyan would never have let her go so early!
Qin Suisui glared hatefully at Pei Jiuyan, who was walking beside her, only to be caught red-handed by him.
Pei Jiuyan chuckled softly, gently patted the top of her head, then pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "What's wrong? Are your legs still sore? Do you want me to carry you?"
Qin Suisui immediately glanced at the group of people walking in front of her in a panic, her face turning bright red. Seeing that they weren't paying attention to the two of them, her heartbeat calmed down a bit. She ripped herself out of Pei Jiuyan's arms, glared at him, and said fiercely, "Don't touch me!"
In his anxiety, he even spoke in Jiangcheng dialect, which was both soft and fierce.
Pei Jiuyan prided himself on being a person who was not driven by desires, but he didn't know why he always had no self-control in front of Qin Suisui.
Last night was the same. The little girl was holding up several pieces of clothing to herself, seemingly trying to choose the most suitable one. It was a perfectly normal action, and I obediently stood there letting her try them on.
But somehow, I gradually felt that her hands were like flames, and when they occasionally brushed against my skin, they would cause an electric current, making me itch terribly.
Then I could feel her fragrance lingering in my nostrils, it smelled amazing.
And then she felt that her chattering voice was constantly surrounding her, and it was incredibly pleasant to listen to.
Finally, she realized that the woman constantly appearing in front of her was incredibly beautiful.
At that time, Pei Jiuyan did not understand what "physiological attraction" meant. Before being blinded by lust, he hastily concluded that this girl might have poisoned him, a poison that made him only devoted to her and unable to resist seeing her.
Then came another night of chaos and turmoil.
Seeing Qin Suisui glaring at him and speaking fiercely in her hometown dialect, Pei Jiuyan immediately recalled the conclusion he had drawn last night: this girl must have poisoned him. However, he was happy to accept it and was willing to be poisoned for the rest of his life.
The wild forest is a wilderness. Although some areas have been cleared and farmed, most of the area is unmanaged.
Therefore, as long as the game hunted here isn't too ostentatious, it doesn't need to be handed over. However, this is also because some people dare to hunt inside. After all, for most people, this place is like a ghost town, and they wouldn't dare to enter.
Qin Suisui and the others had nothing to worry about because Paman and the others were there.
However, it is believed that as the Snake Spirit Brigade interacts more with the outside world, more and more people will enter the Wild Forest in the future. This area, which no one dares to harvest, will eventually be developed into a treasure trove.
But that's for the future.
We've just entered the wild forest, and after walking a short distance, it's almost like entering a primeval area. The vegetation is lush, and there are sounds of insects and birds, but no trace of human beings.
Because Parman was there with them, none of them were afraid.
Qin Suisui led Su Yunyi and Jia Zhenzhen to collect medicinal herbs in the wild forest, while also providing on-site instruction. The wild forest was full of various kinds of medicinal herbs, many of which could not be seen outside. Su Yunyi and Jia Zhenzhen were eager to learn and followed Qin Suisui, learning and collecting at the same time. Soon, their baskets were half full.
Qin Suisui also found it very novel. Every time she came to the Wild Forest, she could find different medicinal herbs. This time, she unexpectedly found a *Phoebe zhennan* tree. The branches and leaves of this tree can be used for cooking or soaking in wine to help women recover after childbirth. It is a good medicine for promoting blood circulation and replenishing blood. Locals call it "Immortal's Blood" or "Blood Tree".
Qin Suisui only met him after she started learning Li medicine from her master. It's true that China is a vast and resource-rich country, and its medical skills are even more profound and sophisticated. It seems that no matter what it is, there is a corresponding cure.
Qin Suisui carefully gathered some branches and leaves from the *Phoebe zhennan* tree, putting some into her spatial storage and some into her basket. The ones in her spatial storage were what she wanted to try cultivating there. The ones in the basket were intended to be taken back to her sister-in-law, Tang, who had woken up yesterday and was still in her postpartum confinement period; these would be perfect for her.
Besides the *Phoebe bournei*, Qin Suisui also discovered two previously undiscovered "new species": *Cymbidium goeringii* and *Bretschneidera sinensis*.
The entire plant of *Cymbidium goeringii* can be used medicinally. It is cool in nature and can nourish yin and moisten the lungs, strengthen the spleen, and calm the mind. It is used to treat pulmonary tuberculosis with hemoptysis, loss of appetite, neurasthenia, etc.
This is the perfect season to collect the bark of the Bo Le tree. When crushed and applied topically, it is said to be remarkably effective in treating muscle and bone pain.
Besides these new varieties, Qin Suisui also dug up a lot of medicinal herbs she encountered along the way. For her, the more medicinal herbs the better, as she needed a large number of herbs to conduct experiments, whether she was developing various health-preserving pills, detoxification pills, or testing for any kind of poison.
As we walked deeper into the forest, we could clearly feel the increased humidity, and we also encountered quite a few mushrooms along the way.
Under the tutelage of Paron and Parman, Qin Suisui has become familiar with many mushrooms in this wild forest and can basically distinguish between edible and poisonous mushrooms.
As the men were tracking their prey, they passed through a damp grove of trees filled with decaying vegetation. She wondered if there might be a lot of fungi growing there.
Sure enough, as soon as Qin Suisui stepped inside, she was dazzled by a huge expanse of pig's stomach mushrooms! There were also large swathes of large-fruited chicken oil mushrooms. She was completely captivated. Mushrooms! Delicious mushrooms! Whether stewed with chicken or meat, or fried into mushrooms, they were incredibly delicious!
Just by looking at her like that, you can tell what she's thinking.
Pei Jiuyan chuckled, "Why don't I stay here with you to pick mushrooms, and let my senior brothers go hunting? They've already caught quite a few." He waved the string of pheasants and rabbits he was carrying.
Qin Suisui waved her hand: "No need, no need. You go with them. Besides, Nuwa is here, so there won't be any danger. Just don't go too far."
Pei Jiuyan finally nodded in agreement.
This morning, when they entered the Wild Forest, Nuwa had already been summoned by Paman. Knowing that Qin Suisui would be her new master, Nuwa was so happy she wanted to do a backflip on the spot, completely ignoring the feelings of her original master, Paman. Of course, Paman wasn't unhappy either.
Although Nuwa was a giant python over four meters long, thanks to Qin Suisui's prior warning and Nuwa's adorable and silly behavior after realizing it had been "changed masters," Su Yunyi was able to overcome her fear and even carefully patted its head, successfully winning over Nuwa with its "ingenious charm."
