Chapter 55 I must see her soon
Qin Suisui was overjoyed; they actually understood! The creatures of Changbai Mountain were truly exceptionally intelligent!
She hurriedly followed the yellow-throated marten, running for about two hundred meters until they reached the depths of the forest. The marten stopped under a tree and wouldn't move. Qin Suisui caught up, panting. Before she could catch her breath, she saw a small patch of bamboo-like plants with palmate compound leaves and a string of red berries on top. Qin Suisui's eyes lit up—it was a bamboo ginseng!
Bamboo-joint ginseng, also known as Northeast Panax notoginseng, can disperse blood stasis, stop bleeding, reduce swelling, and relieve pain. Its hemostatic effect is much better than that of Yunnan Panax notoginseng. She immediately understood. Yellow-throated martens often get injured while hunting, and they probably frequently seek out this herb to treat their wounds. That's why the marten led her directly to it when she mentioned medicinal herbs! How clever!
Qin Suisui smiled and handed the two cucumbers and tomatoes in her hand to the yellow-throated marten. After transplanting all the bamboo ginseng in this area into her space, she looked at it expectantly, who had already finished eating the cucumbers and tomatoes: "Big Yellow, are there any other medicinal herbs or edible things?"
The yellow-throated marten tilted its head, its round eyes fixed on her.
Qin Suisui then took out two bananas from her spatial storage and waved them in front of it.
The moment Qin Suisui took out the banana, she could clearly see the "desire" in Da Huang's eyes! It seemed that the things produced by the space had a special attraction for Da Huang.
Big Yellow suddenly turned around and ran forward, stopping abruptly after a few steps. He turned back and stared at her with some dissatisfaction, as if he was annoyed by her slow speed.
Qin Suisui waved her hand at her: "What kind of look is that? You use four legs, I use two, I'm definitely slower than you!"
As if understanding her complaint, Da Huang reluctantly stopped and waited for her to catch up before slowly leading the way, taking two steps ahead of her.
The two walked for about half an hour. Perhaps it was because it was getting dark outside, but Qin Suisui clearly felt that the light in the forest had become dim and the air was more humid.
Darkness meant greater danger, so Qin Suisui subconsciously lowered her voice and looked at the graceful yellow-throated marten in front of her: "Big Yellow, is it dangerous here?"
As soon as she finished asking the question, she saw that Big Yellow had stopped under a big tree and was looking at her with some expectation in its eyes.
Qin Suisui instantly understood. She looked up at the massive linden tree, so large it would take three people to encircle it. It was a pity it was dead, but it hadn't fallen. At the base of the tree, there was a large patch of dark black Ganoderma lucidum, shaped like an unfolded feather! And the key was that it wasn't just on this one tree; large patches of Ganoderma lucidum were growing at the base of several other dead and decaying linden and elm trees.
Qin Suisui was overjoyed. What was the difference between this and picking cabbages? What was the difference between this and a mouse falling into a rice jar? What was the difference between this and a pie falling from the sky?
There's no difference!
She excitedly squatted down and began picking Ganoderma lucidum. The smallest of these black-feathered Ganoderma lucidum was the size of her palm, and the largest was even bigger than the enamel basin in her house.
This is a mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest. After picking the black feather Ganoderma lucidum that she saw in front of her, Qin Suisui walked forward for about 100 meters and found that the light ahead was slightly brighter. On a tree stump that had been cut down at some point, she actually saw a cluster of reddish-brown Ganoderma lucidum with concentric rings!
Red Ganoderma! The most precious of all Ganoderma!
Qin Suisui felt incredibly lucky; Dahuang had led her to the Lingzhi Garden! She wandered around for a while before realizing that she had already passed the linden forest and was now in a red pine forest.
No wonder! Red pine is a common host for Ganoderma lucidum, and this red pine forest is quite different from the dark linden forest we just saw in terms of humidity and light. Otherwise, the two types of Ganoderma lucidum wouldn't coexist just a hundred meters apart.
While marveling at the wonders of nature, Qin Suisui unceremoniously took all of nature's gifts into her own space.
After harvesting all the visible red Ganoderma lucidum, she checked the time and it was already past 6:10. If she didn't go down the mountain soon, it would be dark. Even though she had a spatial ability, she didn't dare to stay in the deep mountains at night.
She turned to the yellow-throated marten munching on a tomato beside her: "Big Yellow, can you take me down the mountain? Just to where we met before!"
Big Yellow swallowed the last half of the tomato, stood up, wagged its tail, and led Qin Suisui out, looking back every few steps.
Whether they hadn't gone very far to begin with or Da Huang had taken a shortcut, Da Huang had brought Qin Suisui down the mountain before seven o'clock, even though it was supposed to take her one or two hours.
Moreover, Da Huang was exceptionally "gentlemanly" and did not take Qin Suisui halfway up the mountain as she had asked, but instead took her directly to the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the cowshed not far away, Qin Suisui grinned, revealing her white teeth. She took out a small basin of milk from her spatial storage, and after Dahuang happily finished drinking it, she took out a few bananas and cucumbers, saying, "Dahuang, I have to go up the mountain tomorrow morning and I expect to finish by noon. Could you wait for me at the same place as today?"
Da Huang stared at the cucumbers and bananas, his mouth practically watering, but his round eyes were fixed on Qin Sui Sui, and he nodded very seriously.
After saying goodbye to Dahuang, Qin Suisui entered her spatial dimension, looking at the sky that was not yet completely dark, and prepared to organize the fruit trees and medicinal herbs she had found on the mountain that day.
In the black soil of her space, she planted cucumbers, tomatoes, and melons in a small patch at the entrance. The watermelon she took from Grandma Mai's house that day, after she finished eating it, she also threw the seeds in. Now, tender seedlings the length of a forearm have sprouted, and it is expected that they will bear fruit soon.
Qin Suisui planted all the fruit trees on the edge of the black soil. There aren't many yet, but she has a compulsion to plant them together. Tropical fruits are planted together, fruit trees found in Changbai Mountain are planted separately, and trees like agarwood and dragon blood trees are planted separately with medicinal herbs.
After tidying up all that, I also packed up the things for my parents. Seeing that it was completely dark outside, I changed into a nanny's uniform, wrapped a headscarf around my head, and headed towards the cowshed.
It was almost eight o'clock, and most of the people in the cowshed had already eaten dinner and were preparing to rest. Qin Suisui wandered around the row of simple mud houses, stopping at the door of the last one.
She was almost certain that this was her parents' house. Because there was a pair of crookedly sewn black cloth shoes by the door.
These shoes were the first and only pair she sewed when she was 15 years old, after she became interested in learning needlework. Because they were so ugly and she pricked her finger, she refused to learn anymore.
My father was very happy to receive the shoes. He even put them in his closet along with his expensive suits and leather shoes, but he never saw them again.
She thought the shoes were long gone, but it turned out her father had kept them and brought them here.
She held back her tears, walked to the door, and gently knocked. A deep, wary voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
Her father's voice was like a switch, and Qin Suisui could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face. She sniffed and replied in a muffled voice, "Little Weight."
"Little Weight" is her father's nickname for her. He says she is not only his little darling, but also the most important person in his and his mother's hearts.
Hua Qing, who was suppressing a cough inside the house, was startled and looked at Qin Xingzhi standing at the door in disbelief. The couple exchanged a glance, and Qin Xingzhi quickly walked to the door and opened the simple wooden door.
After entering the room, Qin Suisui quickly closed the door. Looking at her father, who already had a few gray hairs, and her mother, who was so thin she looked unrecognizable, she couldn't help but want to burst into tears.
Qin Xingzhi quickly covered his daughter's mouth and whispered, "Don't cry, sweetie, it's not soundproof here."
The crying was forcibly suppressed, and Qin Suisui hiccuped and began to sob softly.
Hua Qing had already stood up, pulled her into his arms, and stroked her head with tears in his eyes: "My dear, this place is so far from Qiongtan Island, why did you come here?"
While sobbing and hiccuping, Qin Suisui briefly recounted what had happened and her life on Qiongtan Island.
She didn't say much, but Qin Xingzhi and Hua Qing could sense that their son-in-law, Pei Jiuyan, treated their daughter very well, which put their minds at ease.
After telling her about her own situation, Qin Suisui hurriedly asked her parents about their situation. Learning that their main job was logging in the mountains and raising pigs and cattle, Qin Suisui felt incredibly sorry for them. Her mother used to be a gynecologist, and her father also worked with medicinal herbs; neither of them had ever done heavy labor before, yet now they had to endure this hardship.
After they learned about each other's recent situations, Qin Suisui hurriedly brought over the several large bags of things she had just packed. She had already streamlined the items several times, but there were still quite a lot, mainly clothes and medicine.
As soon as she entered the room, she smelled the medicine, and her mother was also trying to suppress her cough when she spoke to her. She could tell from all of this that they didn't want her to worry, so she pretended not to know and simply handed the box containing the medicine to Hua Qing: "Mom, these are some commonly used medicines. Keep them safe in case of emergency."
She pointed to the two large bags on the ground: "There's some food and some clothes in there. Keep them for changing." She saw them as soon as she came in. There were no cabinets in the room. Apart from a dozen or so sweet potatoes in the corner and a few old clothes on the broken bed, her parents had nothing else.
She felt heartbroken. Her mother used to love dressing up, and her father was very particular. It must be very difficult for him to get used to such a down-and-out situation.
But she didn't say anything sentimental; she just handed them the things. So many things made the room feel suddenly crowded.
Hua Qing touched her hand tenderly: "Sweetie, you carried so many things so far, doesn't your hand hurt?"
Qin Suisui pouted, holding back her tears, and said in the same way she used to whine to her mother, "Mommy, if you blow on it, it won't hurt anymore."
Hua Qing burst into laughter through her tears. Qin Xingzhi looked at the pile of things and said with some worry, "Sweetie, you see? Your parents don't have anywhere to put anything in this room. They come to check every now and then, so if we leave it here, they'll just take it away. You should take it all back. Your parents don't need these things!"
Of course we need it, but I just didn't want her to worry.
Qin Suisui looked around the small room. Apart from a bed, there was only a broken table with a missing corner and a chair with only three legs. There was really no place to put anything.
She had no choice but to rummage through the contents again, selecting some commonly used medicines, money, and a few changes of clothes. Remembering the charred sweet potato skins she'd just seen outside, she quickly used the bundle as cover to pull out four meat buns and two large steamed buns from her storage space: "Mom and Dad, eat up! I bought these beforehand, and heated them up before coming here; they're still piping hot!"
Since arriving here, he had been eating sweet potatoes the whole time. Suddenly seeing such a tempting big meat bun, Qin Xingzhi couldn't help but swallow. He gave one to his wife and then picked one up and wolfed it down himself.
Seeing her usually refined and gentle father so anxious while eating, Qin Suisui's eyes welled up with tears again. She poured two cups of water from her military water bottle and handed them to them, comforting them, "Eat slowly, drink some water, I'll bring you some food tomorrow."
She has food in her online space, but she doesn't know how to tell her parents about it, fearing they'll overthink it, and she doesn't plan to tell them.
While Qin Suisui enjoyed a warm reunion with her parents, Pei Jiuyan went straight to the research and development lab after arriving in Lian'gang.
Zhang Wen, a colleague who came to the Lian-Hong R&D team with him, was a little puzzled when he saw how hard he was working: "Team leader, is it necessary to rush like this? We have a week."
Pei Jiuyan didn't even look up, his voice cold and brooking no argument: "It must be completed within four days."
Ever since saying goodbye to Qin Suisui, her words have been echoing in his mind.
Four days was the limit of his endurance.
Recalling the way Sun Ruwen looked at his wife that afternoon, Pei Jiuyan's face turned cold, and he quickened his pace.
I need to see her as soon as possible.
hurry up……
