Gu Nanxun went to the county town in the morning. Lin Qing was bored and lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) reading a book. Lin Qing was reading a novel about wilderness survival. She was reading about how to dig traps for hunting, so she suddenly had the idea to try digging a trap herself.
Excitedly, Lin Qing jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), slung a basket over his shoulder, grabbed a shovel, and headed up the mountain. To avoid being discovered by others, Lin Qing tried to venture as far into the mountains as possible.
The book said that small animals would come to drink water when near water, so Lin Qing decided to find a place to set a trap along the stream. So Lin Qing walked deeper into the stream.
She remembered that if she wanted to set a trap, she could also find where small animals roamed by looking for droppings, so Lin Qing carefully searched for animal droppings near the stream.
Sure enough, Lin Qing soon found some small animal droppings, but he didn't know what kind of small animal droppings they were. Judging from the size, they should be the droppings of small animals, because the droppings of large animals are definitely larger. So he guessed that they might be the droppings of small animals such as chickens and rabbits. Moreover, the droppings were not very dry, so small animals must have passed by here recently.
So Lin Qing found a relatively flat spot nearby and began digging. Following the instructions in the book, she first dug a large pit, then placed some branches and leaves on top of it to create a well-camouflaged trap.
Lin Qing thought to herself that if any small animals fell into the trap later, she could catch them. She waited expectantly as she thought about it.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement. Lin Qing began to get impatient, and she started to doubt whether the trap was working anymore.
After waiting for a long time without any movement, Lin Qing stopped waiting and wandered aimlessly up the mountain.
As Lin Qing walked, she suddenly spotted a hawthorn tree. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, she was instantly captivated by the tree and felt her mouth water.
Lin Qing felt that she was quite lucky, because this place was not too deep. The village children ran around on the mountain every day looking for fruit. Generally, as long as it was not too deep, as long as there was fruit, the fruit would be picked by the children as soon as it ripened. Unexpectedly, Lin Qing found a fish that had slipped through the net.
Lin Qing quickly picked a hawthorn from the tree, wiped it on her clothes, and couldn't wait to put it in her mouth. The hawthorn was sweet and sour, and Lin Qing ate it with great satisfaction.
Lin Qing ate one hawthorn after another, five or six in a row before she was satisfied. So she didn't go anywhere else, but stayed under the hawthorn tree, picking hawthorns one by one. She didn't even use her mental power to collect them; it was a rare treat for her to experience the joy of picking. Soon, Lin Qing had picked all the hawthorns from the lower branches, filling her basket to about half full. The remaining hawthorns were out of her reach, so she used her mental power to store them in her spatial storage. Lin Qing looked contentedly at the pile of hawthorns in her basket and her spatial storage, instantly feeling that she had already made a good harvest for the day. Even if she didn't hunt any small animals later, Lin Qing was still satisfied.
After picking hawthorns, Lin Qing continued to wander leisurely into other parts of the mountains. When Lin Qing came to a small earthen mound, she suddenly heard a system notification.
"Would the host like to sign in?"
"System, check-in!"
Upon hearing the system's notification, Lin Qing immediately signed in. Usually, when the system gives such a notification, it means there's something special about this place.
"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have signed in and received a Golden Flower Dream Hairpin. Would you like to claim it?"
"receive!"
"System check-in!"
Lin Qing looked at the gold hairpin in her hand and continued to sign in curiously. She found it strange that she would sign in with gold jewelry in the mountains.
"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have signed in and received a gold ingot. Would you like to claim it?"
"receive!"
"What's wrong with the system? Why am I getting gold ingots and jewelry here for signing in?"
Looking at the gold ingot in her hand, Lin Qing excitedly asked the system for an answer.
"Would you like to proceed with the scan?"
"scanning!"
Hearing the system's question, Lin Qing became even more excited, sensing that something good was about to happen.
"Ding... 100,000 points have been deducted. Scan successful. Data has been sent to the host. Please check!"
Seeing the 100,000 points deducted, Lin Qing couldn't help but click her tongue, hoping that these 100,000 points hadn't been wasted.
Lin Qing opened the information sent by the system. The information showed that the small hill was a tomb, but it was a fake tomb. After pushing down the tombstone, one could enter the tomb, which was a treasure cave.
When Lin Qing saw the information that the small hill was a graveyard, she immediately took a few steps back in fright. After seeing that it was a fake graveyard, she patted her chest in relief. But where was the tombstone? Lin Qing carefully circled the small hillyard and finally found the tombstone after clearing away the tangled branches and grass. The tombstone had the words "Tomb of Liu Dajun" written on it in a proper manner.
If the system hadn't told her it was a fake tomb, Lin Qing would have really thought it was a real tomb. Who would have thought that beneath the tomb was a treasure cave?
"System, is this treasure cave safe? Are there any traps or mechanisms?"
"Don't worry, host, there are no traps."
"Host, the master has entered the space."
Upon hearing the system say there were no traps, Lin Qing was about to knock down the tombstone when she heard the system say that Gu Nanxun had entered the space, so Lin Qing immediately went to the space.
"Nanxun, are you back?"
As soon as she entered the space, Lin Qing threw herself into Gu Nanxun's arms.
"Hmm, when I came back I saw you weren't in your room, so I came into the space. How did you get up the mountain?"
Gu Nanxun gently hugged Lin Qing, who rushed towards him, and said softly.
"While you were away, I was bored in my room reading novels. When I came across a section on setting traps, I thought I'd try it out up in the mountains. Nanxun, guess what I found?"
Gu Nanxun looked at Lin Qing, whose eyes were sparkling as she stared at him excitedly, and said, "I've found a hawthorn tree."
Gu Nanxun had already noticed the small pile of hawthorns in the living room, so he answered without hesitation.
"Brother Nanxun, do you think I'm stupid? The hawthorns are all piled up here, why would I ask you?"
Lin Qing pouted her lips in dissatisfaction.
"Hmm! Let me think... I've discovered ginseng?"
Gu Nanxun pinched Lin Qing's pouting lips, pretended to be deep in thought, and asked after a while.
"No, guess again?"
"That...is it Ganoderma lucidum?"
Lin Qing shook her head: "It's still not right."
"What is that? It's too hard to guess, baby, tell your husband!"
Gu Nanxun hugged Lin Qing and shook her, his face saying, "I can't guess, tell me already!"
