Chapter 16 Picking Mushrooms on the Mountain



Stroking the red mole on her chest, Chen Hong gradually fell asleep. She had a dream in which she became a female knight-errant, able to leap across rooftops and ride the clouds.

In her dream, she encountered and fought with a murderer. The murderer was also very skilled, a martial arts master, and Chen Hong killed him effortlessly.

Suddenly, a shot rang out, leaving a large hole in Chen Hong's chest. The red mole was gone, leaving only a bleeding hole. Chen Hong was covered in sweat and was jolted awake.

After sitting on the bed for a while to clear her head, Chen Hong got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face. Looking at her bright eyes in the mirror, Chen Hong said to herself, "I'm getting a little cocky!"

Even the most skilled martial artist is afraid of a kitchen knife, let alone a single woman raising a child.

Although we live in a society governed by law, life is never without its dark side. Corrupt officials and gangsters are not just legendary figures. The plots in TV dramas are adaptations of real life, and some of their methods of harming people are even more vicious and cruel.

Although Chen Hong did not experience it firsthand, there are many ways to spread the story in later generations. On Douyin, Weibo, and Toutiao, all kinds of horrific murder and assault incidents are commonplace.

I have been an ordinary, low-level worker in both my past and present lives, with neither a powerful background nor a well-known reputation.

Since ancient times, possessing a treasure has been a crime. If she were to reveal anything unusual and be noticed by the powerful figures above her, Chen Hong believed that she would surely die silently, and would also implicate her family and relatives.

Thinking of this, Chen Hong broke out in a cold sweat. Since she could be reborn, it meant that such a miraculous cheat code might not be unique.

There are definitely many people in this world with special abilities. Perhaps some powerful families or big shots are among them. However, they haven't revealed anything unusual, and even if they have, it's not something an ordinary person like me could know.

They have connections, background, and resources; they're protected by people from all walks of life—something a nobody like me could never access.

Someone like me is definitely cannon fodder, a nobody who won't last more than two minutes in a TV series, an extra who doesn't even deserve a name, not even a supporting role!

Chen Hong secretly became wary, deciding that she should just stay put and live a good life with her son.

As long as I have enough to eat and drink, a little savings, a house to live in, a car to drive, and can afford medicine when I'm sick, and can help family and friends in small ways when they need it, I'm already very content. This is the kind of good life I've always dreamed of in my past life. Don't even think about anything else!

People should be content with what they have and not indulge their desires. Desires are insatiable. No matter how rich or powerful you are, you can only eat three meals a day (at most, add a midnight snack) and sleep in a five-foot bed (at most, change to a two-and-a-half-meter-long bed).

He has no political ambitions to run a business or become a member of the CPPCC to gain political capital, nor does he aspire to high society, wear designer brands, drive luxury cars, wear expensive watches, or attend high-end banquets.

Chen Hong's only hobby is researching cooking, so that she and her son can eat delicious and healthy food.

I spend my days farming, fishing, and taking a trip with my children every year. Living a simple and peaceful life is enough for me.

Chen Hong secretly resolved that the secret of the space must not be known to a second person, and she must keep a low profile.

From now on, I will focus on his development, raise him safely and well, and help him get into a good school.

As long as I am healthy and live a happy and fulfilling life, my wishes for both lifetimes will be fulfilled!

When she got up in the morning, before her son woke up, Chen Hong quickly moved a large vat and placed it next to the vegetable garden in the backyard.

First, Chen Hong looked around the courtyard wall to make sure no one was passing by. Then she tried to move the water into the water tank using her mind.

It actually worked! With a thought, Chen Hong filled the water vat with water out of thin air. To test if she could take it back, Chen Hong thought, "Take it back," and the water vat on the ground was gone.

If you don't control it well, try again. Use your mind to control the water tank to come out, and it comes out. Use your mind again to control it, and the water goes back in. This time the water goes back in, and the water tank stays in the same place.

After experimenting repeatedly for more than ten minutes, Chen Hong finally mastered the strength and accuracy of mind control, without experiencing the headaches, lethargy, and confusion described in the novel.

It seems that my space is different from others'; it has been completely integrated into my body and mind, and I can control and use it freely.

It's like an idea that arises in your mind, invisible and colorless. You can use it with a thought, and it doesn't affect your physical condition at all. It seems to have nothing to do with the physical body, but is only connected to brainwaves.

Chen Hong fed the chickens and ducks with the water from her spatial dimension, and then watered the vegetable garden, planning to check the results in a few days. If the plants and animals showed good results, she would then replace the large vat in her kitchen with the spatial dimension water, so she wouldn't need well water or mineral water for cooking and drinking anymore. She didn't dare consume it yet because the effects weren't apparent.

Chen Hong secretly refilled the water tank, went back to her room to wash up, went to the kitchen to make breakfast, woke up her son, prepared snacks for him after breakfast, and sent him to the old house to find his grandfather.

Today, Chen Hong decided to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms. After growing for a whole day yesterday, the mushrooms should have grown big by now.

The mushrooms in the mountains are all wild, and whether they are fresh or dried, they taste especially good. Chen Hong and her son both love to eat them.

Chen Hong carried a basket on her back, changed into a pair of rubber shoes, tied her trouser legs tightly, put on a long-sleeved coat, tucked a machete into her waistband, carried a hoe, and put on a straw hat, towel, and water bottle. Chen Hong went up the back mountain alone.
