"Knock knock knock..."
Lin Qing had just slung her basket over her shoulder and was about to leave when she heard a knock on the door.
"Chen Bin, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"
As soon as Lin Qing opened the door, she saw Chen Bin standing anxiously at the door.
As expected, seeing Chen Bin's anxious expression, Lin Qing thought that her and Nanxun's guesses were correct.
"Comrade Lin, I'd like to go to the county town. Could I borrow your bicycle?"
Upon seeing Lin Qing, Chen Bin couldn't wait to ask.
"Okay, the bicycle is in the yard, come in and get it!"
Upon hearing Chen Bin's words, Lin Qing agreed without hesitation.
If their guess is correct, Chen Bin might very well be Nanxun's cousin?
"Comrade Lin, I might not be able to come back for a while. Do you need a bicycle these days?"
Suddenly, Chen Bin asked embarrassedly. He had been so focused on borrowing a bicycle that he had forgotten he might not be able to come back for a while.
"It's okay, you can use it. I haven't been using it lately."
Lin Qing guessed that Chen Bin must have gone to see his father.
"Okay, thank you."
"It's alright, you can go ahead, but be careful on the road."
"Okay, thank you!"
After watching Chen Bin walk away, Lin Qing turned around, locked the gate, took Gu Nanxun into her own space, and then headed up the mountain.
Lin Qing is going to the mountain to collect some firewood today, as firewood is needed for cooking and boiling water here.
The woodshed in her backyard was still empty, so Lin Qing decided to come and collect firewood whenever she had free time in the afternoons, and try to fill the woodshed as soon as possible.
The autumn harvest is approaching, and once the harvest is over, there won't be time to gather firewood. After the harvest, there will be even less time to gather all the mountain produce.
Moreover, Lin Qing decided to hold a housewarming banquet before the autumn harvest, and a lot of firewood would be needed for the banquet.
The banquet requires some meat, but unfortunately Lin Qing doesn't know how to hunt, and Brother Nanxun has an injured leg.
"When Chen Bin comes back, we can let him play!" Lin Qing suddenly thought.
After all, she might be Chen Bin's cousin-in-law! It wouldn't be unreasonable for her to use him for a while.
As usual, Lin Qing went to the nearest ginseng farm first. She planned to go to a different place every day and collect some firewood on her way back. This way, she could both dig for ginseng and explain why she went up the mountain every day.
If I go up the mountain every day and come back empty-handed each time, the villagers will become suspicious after a while.
This time, Lin Qing was digging for ginseng in a place that was close to the deep mountains. Lin Qing walked carefully and was particularly cautious along the way.
The old women in the village said there are big insects and wolves on this mountain...
In previous years, people died in the deep mountains every year. Because of the high number of deaths, fewer people have ventured into the deep mountains in recent years.
The reason Lin Qing dared to enter the deep mountains was entirely due to the space. If he encountered danger, he could hide in the space. If he didn't have the space, Lin Qing would never dare to enter the deep mountains even if you beat him to death.
Although Lin Qing was cautious, she was alright, but Gu Nanxun inside the space was so nervous that he was sweating profusely.
As soon as Lin Qing entered the deep mountain area, Gu Nanxun began to worry. Although Lin Qing had a spatial dimension, he was still worried that she might encounter danger and not have time to enter the spatial dimension.
Inside the space, Gu Nanxun kept a close eye on his surroundings, ready to alert Lin Qing in case of any danger.
However, Lin Qing was very lucky and encountered no danger along the way. He successfully dug up a 100-year-old ginseng and a 50-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
After completing today's task, Lin Qing did not seek further enrichment and walked down the mountain with cheerful steps.
Lin Qing had a map of the entire back mountain, so she wasn't afraid of getting lost. She wandered around aimlessly in the direction she was heading back.
As Lin Qing walked, she realized that the path she was on would cross a stream.
Lin Qing glanced at the time; it was only 3:30. In summer, it gets dark late, not until 8 pm. Lin Qing thought, since it's still early, why not have a picnic here? Nan Xun hasn't relaxed in a long time.
"Nanxun, let's have a picnic here!"
As soon as they arrived at the stream, Lin Qing released Gu Nanxun from his spatial dimension.
"Okay, sure."
Gu Nanxun watched as the green grass by the stream swayed gently in the breeze, as if welcoming their arrival.
The clear stream flowed gently; he hadn't seen such beautiful scenery in a long time.
Since his injury, he had hardly left the house. He only started going out after Lin Qing came, but even then, he only went near the village. The farthest he went was the bamboo forest he visited last time.
At this moment, Gu Nanxun sat in his wheelchair, looking at everything around him with gentle eyes, a relaxed and happy smile on his face.
Lin Qing carefully laid out the picnic blanket and arranged the carefully selected delicacies from the space one by one.
There are colorful fruit salads, temptingly fragrant toast, and a variety of delicious snacks and desserts.
"Brother Nanxun, come and see all the delicious food I've prepared! It's all your favorite!"
After preparing the food, Lin Qing called out happily to Gu Nanxun by the stream.
After arriving at the space, Lin Qing was surprised to find that Gu Nanxun actually liked sweets.
Gu Nanxun turned his head and immediately saw Lin Qing standing next to a cushion made of some unknown material, smiling at him.
Lin Qing's carefully braided pigtails had come undone, swaying in the breeze.
Like a feather, it gently tickled Gu Nanxun's heart, making him feel itchy.
"Cough cough..."
Gu Nanxun coughed twice, then pushed his wheelchair to Lin Qing's side.
"Qingqing, you're always so thoughtful."
"Of course! You're my boyfriend! You're not feeling well right now, so I'll take care of you. Once your leg is better, it'll be your turn to take care of me."
Hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing said nonchalantly that it was only right for her to take care of him since his leg was inconvenient right now. She believed that once his leg was healed, he would take care of her as well.
"Okay, I'll take care of Qingqing once my leg is healed."
Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Gu Nanxun replied with a serious expression, looking as if he were about to swear an oath.
Around 3 p.m., which is usually the hottest time of day, a gentle breeze was blowing along the stream, bringing a touch of coolness with the moisture.
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun sat on the cushions, enjoying desserts while admiring the scenery before them.
"Is it good, Nanxun-ge?"
Lin Qing suddenly picked up a piece of cake and fed it to Gu Nanxun.
"Delicious...delicious..."
Seeing Lin Qing's actions, Gu Nanxun blushed instantly and began to stammer.
"Ha ha……"
"Nanxun, you're so cute."
Seeing Gu Nanxun blush, Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh and fell onto the mat.
"Cough cough..."
"Qingqing, it's so cool here."
Seeing Lin Qing laughing so hard she fell onto the mat, Gu Nanxun changed the subject, feeling embarrassed.
"Ha ha……"
