Chapter 41: Treasures in the Mountains



The next day, seeing Shi Peng and his neighbors busy, she wanted to run over to help, but Shi Peng drove her away.

"You're a woman, don't get in the way here, just look after the children..."

He completely forgot that the person in front of him had been an educated youth here for three years, and that he could probably do ordinary farm work better than him, and was also stronger than the average person.

"Huh, is he still a bit chauvinistic?" Chu Xi was a little surprised.

Looking at the little stone playing alone in the yard, he is so young but can’t go anywhere and still needs to be supervised by an adult. How boring...

By the way, I haven’t been to the mountains for a long time. I’m going for a walk with Xiao Shitou.

See if you can pick some mountain products like mushrooms and wood ears. It would be even better if you can pick some medicinal herbs like ginseng and Panax notoginseng.

Thinking about pheasants, rabbits, roe deer, wild boars and other wild game, Chu Xi actually drooled. This body is very honest!

At least I can collect some seeds and put them into the space. I always feel like I don't pay enough attention to the space and don't make full use of it. Hey, come on! After Shi Peng leaves, I can let go and work.

He skillfully tied the small stone in front of him, put on the big backpack, and found Shi Peng.

"I'll take Xiao Shitou to the mountains to find some mountain products and bring down some firewood. It's getting colder and colder, and there's not much firewood left." Chu Xi said.

Shi Peng was speechless. He had just told me last night that the mountain was dangerous. Was he going to go against the grain today? Or was he deliberately provoking me?

Looking at those clear and pure eyes, forget it.

Go ahead, there's no point in talking to you. At worst, you can do more work yourself in the future. When your unit's base is fixed, you can apply to be taken with the army to reduce the chances of going out.

"Okay, don't go into the mountains. It's too dangerous!"

When it came to the last few words, Shi Peng spoke them almost word by word.

Chu Xi quickly handed him the diluted spring water, his deep warning look lingering in her mind, and ran away immediately.

He has been in the army for many years, and he must have many hidden illnesses left over from carrying out missions and deficiencies accumulated from training. Let's use diluted spring water to recuperate him, but it can't be too obvious, we can only do it slowly.

Oh, it’s too difficult. It’s hard to be a good person.

Humph, if you don’t let me go into the mountains, where will I get prey and precious medicinal herbs, and how can I exchange them for money?

He told me that there were wolves and ferocious beasts in the mountains, and that many hunters who had lived with their ancestors had been killed, so the villagers rarely went into the mountains.

Chu Xi was just going to look around the outskirts of the mountain, but unfortunately, he didn't see anything and it was hard to get firewood. So I had to go deep into the mountains. It's not my fault, Chu Xi thought secretly as he headed towards the mountains.

Looking at the little stone that was put into the space and was happily studying after entering the mountain, Chu Xi also smiled. It is good to have a child that is worry-free.

Relying on mental strength and space, you can hide in it if you encounter danger.

Besides, considering her fighting ability, it is probably the animal that is in danger.

He took out a sharp machete, which was a weapon he had found in the end times. It was a military product, handy and practical, with advanced technology. He put the backpack directly into the space and felt relaxed.

Release your mental power to explore the way and set off.

The mental power swept across more than one kilometer like a radar, and all ghosts and monsters had nowhere to hide!

This time is completely different from the first time I went into the mountains. My strength has greatly increased and my confidence has also skyrocketed!

There are indeed many products in the mountains, including mushrooms, fungus, wolfberries, hazelnuts, and even matsutake mushrooms!

I was even happier when I saw a chestnut tree full of fruits. It really shows that hard work pays off. God favors people like me who are always prepared.

I remember that in my previous life, when I was little, I loved sugar-roasted chestnuts the most. Just thinking about it makes me drool. Mm, they smell so good! The key is that this thing is very filling. In this era of material scarcity, it is a good thing whether you eat it yourself or give it to others.

As his mental power swept over, the chestnut balls fell like raindrops, flew in front of Chu Xi like a dragon sucking water, and disappeared.

If people saw this situation, they would probably suspect that there were monsters causing trouble. Although monsters were not allowed to become monsters after the founding of the People's Republic of China, what if there were some that slipped through the net?

Just like in a game, you can reap a bounty with just one click. Now that you are stronger, life will be better.

Find two small chestnut trees, move them into the space, and water them with spring water to ensure their survival.

Walking in a good mood.

Hmm? A mallet? Oh, is it ginseng? A miraculous plant gifted to mankind by nature.

Fortunately, I learned about Chinese medicine in the last days, otherwise I wouldn’t even recognize ginseng if it was placed in front of me.

Ginseng, commonly known as "bangchui", is a perennial herb belonging to the Araliaceae family. It is one of China's important specialties and a precious medicinal material well-known both at home and abroad. It is known as the "King of Herbs" and is one of the "Three Treasures" of Northeast China.

Ginseng has fleshy, densely wrinkled, cylindrical or hammer-shaped roots, pale yellow in color, often growing obliquely, and with numerous fibrous roots. A stem, commonly known as the "reed" or "reed head," occupies a green, straight stem, approximately 30–70 cm tall. Leaves are arranged in whorls, palmately compound, and the number of leaves varies with age.

There were three quite thick ginsengs just over 300 meters ahead, hidden quite deep.

Ginseng prefers low temperatures. Its main production areas are Changbai Mountain and Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains in Northeast China. It mainly grows in dense mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests. It mostly grows in shady slopes under dense forests with thick humus soil, moist soil, little light and good ventilation.

One of them is estimated to be over a hundred years old, and the two smaller ones are estimated to be fifty or sixty years old. They are all mature ginsengs. There are also some ginsengs that have just taken root and need time to grow.

There are many beautiful legends about ginseng. According to the legend, thousands of ginseng plants will turn into a fat baby wearing a red bellyband, a beautiful girl wearing a red flower on her head, and a kind old man with white hair, helping the suffering people.

Of course, Chu Xi said that if it fell into his hands, it would also shine and give off heat. It could be exchanged for money and of course it could save people!
