Chapter 57 She's still too superficial.
Qin Suisui was startled, thankfully she had entered the spatial dimension.
The two people running ahead immediately spotted the bag of chicken cakes Qin Suisui had placed on the ground. Their eyes lit up, and they cried out urgently for help: "Is someone here? Help!"
"Which brother is here? Please, save us!"
Qin Suisui hid in the space and watched them run around several thick trees, clearly exhausted. If they continued like this, they would only be caught and eaten by the black bear.
But even a weak woman like her was afraid. She could only hide in the shadows and throw weapons out of her spatial storage. Then, her hand slipped, and she accidentally threw out a banana.
The two men didn't see it, but the black bear, with its sharp eyes, did. It immediately stopped chasing them, picked up the banana, looked around, its eyes gleaming, and then "whoosh!" it ate it in one bite.
Seeing this, Qin Suisui threw out several more bananas, each one farther than the last. Dahuang understood her intention and helped her throw the bananas further and further away, even into another grove of trees.
The black bear picked up food as it went, walking further and further away. It happily forgot its hatred, and the ferocity on its face disappeared, replaced by greed and foolishness.
Qin Suisui had read in the "Encyclopedia of Chinese Animals" that black bears are timid and wary by nature, and will run away from people unless they are angered. Now that the black bear has gone far away and its anger has subsided, it probably won't come back.
Seeing that the black bear was gone, the two men breathed a sigh of relief, found a thick tree, climbed up it, and collapsed on it, panting heavily.
Qin Suisui quietly emerged from the spatial dimension and suddenly whispered behind them, "Don't you know that black bears can climb trees?"
The two were so startled that they almost fell off the tree. When they came to their senses, they realized that the person who had saved them was a little girl.
One of them stared at Qin Suisui for a while, then suddenly jumped down from the tree excitedly and said to Qin Suisui, "You wouldn't happen to be the beautiful young lady my brother was talking about who got married young, would you!"
A string of question marks appeared above Qin Suisui's head: "Who's your brother?"
Cai Chen clapped his hands excitedly: "Cai Chong! My brother is Cai Chong, and I am his younger brother, Cai Chen!"
Qin Suisui smiled on the outside but was thinking to herself, "What does 'marrying young' even mean? These two brothers really don't know how to talk."
The other person in the tree jumped down and exclaimed excitedly, "So you're the little expert my mom was talking about!"
Qin Suisui's face showed another question mark: "And who is your mother?"
Chang He put his arm around Cai Chen's shoulder and said happily, "I'm Chang He! My mother's surname is Zhang!"
Qin Suisui: ...
I was careless! I ran into the mentally challenged son that Aunt Zhang was talking about!
Having been discovered by them, Qin Suisui didn't want to talk to them any longer, as it would easily expose her identity, and besides, Da Huang was waiting for her not far away!
She raised her hand to look at her watch, and deliberately exaggeratedly said, "Oh! It's already past three o'clock, I have to go back! We'll talk again next time!" After saying that, she waved her hand and pretended to walk down the mountain.
Hearing her say that, Cai Chen slapped his thigh: "Oh no! My boss is coming today! I have to hurry and pick him up. He said he's coming to the mountains to find medicinal herbs! Little expert, I'll repay your life-saving grace next time!" After saying that, he dragged Chang He away.
As the two voices faded into the distance, Qin Suisui finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the woods to wave to Big Yellow.
Big Yellow hopped around on the tree branch a couple of times before coming up to Qin Suisui. It glanced at Qin Suisui, then hesitated and looked back, seemingly a little guilty.
Qin Suisui followed its gaze and looked back, her eyes widening in shock. How come the black bear that had been lured away earlier was back?!
She glared at Da Huang, whose round eyes were filled with helplessness.
The black bear had already come running over with its two short, thick legs. Before Qin Suisui could hide in her spatial dimension, a string of honey suddenly appeared in front of her! It looked to weigh over ten pounds! There were also several bees flying around aimlessly on it.
The black bear eagerly offered the honey to Qin Suisui, even grinning at her ingratiatingly, while waving the banana peel he had just finished eating in his other hand.
Qin Suisui tentatively asked, "You want to trade honey for bananas with me?"
The black bear actually nodded in a human-like manner.
Qin Suisui was greatly alarmed. What kind of treasure was Changbai Mountain? Were the animals there all sentient beings? Not only could they understand human speech, but they could also bargain.
But the honey the black bear handed over was genuine linden honey! In this era, honey was already a rare commodity, and linden honey had even higher nutritional and medicinal value than ordinary honey. Moreover, it had special preservative properties and could be used to make traditional Chinese medicine pills!
Qin Suisui was shamelessly tempted. She took the honey from the black bear, then took out a few bananas from her spatial storage and handed them to the bear, tempting it with, "Big Black, if you find me a little more honey, I'll give you ten bananas! Medicinal herbs are fine too!" Afraid that the big black bear wouldn't recognize her, she even took out the ginseng she had just dug to show it.
The big black bear nodded, ate the bananas that Qin Suisui handed it in one bite, then squatted down and beckoned to Qin Suisui, signaling her to climb on its back.
Qin Suisui pointed at herself in disbelief: "You're going to carry me on your back?"
The big black bear nodded, and the big yellow dog chirped beside her, as if annoyed by her dawdling.
Qin Suisui tentatively straddled one leg onto the bear's back. Seeing that the bear didn't seem angry, she quickly straddled the other leg onto its back. Once she was sure she was steady, the bear shot off like an arrow. Qin Suisui was tossed and turned on the bear, and had to grab its ears to steady herself.
The black bear ran with Qin Suisui for about 10 minutes before stopping. Qin Suisui shook her head, which was stiff from the wind, and looked up to find that she was on the outer edge of a large linden forest. Unlike the dark forest where she had found the black-feathered Ganoderma, this place was sunny, with lush linden branches and leaves, and pale yellow and white flowers blooming all over the trees, filling the air with a faint fragrance.
Most importantly, Qin Suisui noticed with her sharp eyes that there were actually five or six bunches of linden honey hanging among the branches of several linden trees!
The black bear gently placed Qin Suisui on a grassy field full of wildflowers, and then darted up a tree in a flash. Qin Suisui tried to stop him, but the black bear, with its thick skin, was not afraid of bee stings, but she was!
She wondered if the bees would like the things in the space since both Big Yellow and Big Black Bear liked them. She scooped some water from the stream in the space, added some sugar, peeled a dozen lychees and threw them in, then put the enamel basin on the ground and ran ten meters away.
Sure enough, in less than five seconds, the swarm of bees that had been in the tree suddenly rushed into the basin as if possessed. Not only the bees, but even the big black bear climbing the tree and the big yellow dog that had been beside her seemed eager to join in. Qin Suisui quickly held down the big yellow dog with one hand and gestured to the big black dog with the other: "Quick, big black dog, quickly pick the honey, and we'll give you some sugar water later!"
Big Black was very clever. It quickly climbed up the tree and moved back and forth between several large linden trees, soon picking the bunches of honey.
The bees, unaware that their home had been stolen, were happily drinking sugar water and "eating" lychees in an enamel basin, while Qin Suisui stood a dozen meters away, happily counting the honey that the big black bear had picked.
These few bunches of honey, plus the ones the big black bear gave her before, probably weigh several dozen pounds in total. She won't have to worry about honey for the next few years. But if she wants to make pills later, then it might not be enough.
Qin Suisui rubbed her chin, looking at the few clusters of honey that had just formed between the branches of the linden tree. If she harvested the linden tree and the bees together, would she have an endless supply of honey in the future?
Thinking this way, she did just that, not only taking in the linden trees with newly formed honey, but also bringing in the enamel basin teeming with bees.
After finishing all that, she took out another enamel basin from her spatial storage, filled it with a full basin of stream water, and threw in a whole bunch of lychees, letting Da Huang and Da Hei feast on them.
After finishing the sweet soup and eating the lychees, Dahei lay down again and waved to Qin Suisui. Qin Suisui was pleasantly surprised. Dahei was really a grateful bear. Was he going to take her to find something good again?
She quickly climbed onto the back of the big black bear. Perhaps because of their earlier friendship after sharing a bowl of water, even Big Yellow jumped on top of her. The big black bear readily carried them away in another direction.
The bear didn't run far this time, only two or three minutes, and then stopped precisely in front of two lush green plants. Qin Suisui, sitting on the bear's back, first saw the two bright red clusters on the top of the plants!
She suppressed her excited heart and trembling hands. If nothing unexpected happened, these two ginseng roots should be over a hundred years old. She was still too superficial, too superficial! Hundred-year-old ginseng roots still exist!
She found her tools and carefully, sweating profusely, dug out a whole ginseng. Sure enough, this ginseng was definitely over a hundred years old! Qin Suisui hugged the ginseng and kissed it several times. He couldn't bear to dig up the other one, so he transplanted it directly into his space.
Qin Suisui was overjoyed. This trip to Changbai Mountain had been incredibly fruitful. Not only did she acquire so many medicinal herbs, but she also found two century-old ginseng roots!
Suddenly, Da Huang patted her and pointed to the tree. Qin Suisui looked up and saw pine nuts! There were actually several pine nut trees here, already laden with heavy nuts! Pine nuts are so delicious, she couldn't let them go to waste! Qin Suisui immediately found two pine nut trees that looked good and transplanted them together with the chestnut trees in her space.
It was getting late. Dahei and Dahuang saw Qin Suisui off down the mountain. The two little ones were a bit reluctant to part, so Qin Suisui took out a bunch of lychees and a bunch of bananas before they obediently left.
After having dinner with her parents, Qin Suisui went straight to the brigade leader's house to sleep. Running around in the mountains all day was really tiring.
In the middle of the night, Qin Suisui was half asleep when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. She got up groggily to check and found that the main room was unusually lit with a lamp on. You should know that in the past few days, she had been using kerosene lamps at night.
The Chang family members were all gathered around the recliners, completely unaware that Qin Suisui had come out.
Qin Suisui rubbed her eyes and curiously leaned closer, only to meet a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes.
