"Oh, Grandma Cheng, don't worry. I don't know what's going on lately, but I feel like I'm getting stronger. Even now, carrying two baskets doesn't feel heavy. Maybe it's because I'm growing up and my strength is slowly increasing. Grandma Cheng, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
I can't let Grandma Cheng get angry, so I have to coax her quickly. After all, she's just concerned about me and worried that I might be overworking myself and hurting my body. She just doesn't know my current physical condition.
Upon hearing Yunxi's explanation, Grandma Cheng was no longer so anxious and agitated, and she generally agreed with her statement.
Nodding, "What you said is also possible. I remember there was someone like that on my mother's side of the family. When she was little, she was like a weakling. But one time, she went fishing in a big river dozens of miles away because she was greedy. She fell into the river and was rescued. At first, they said she was dead, but she recovered. After she recovered, she became stronger and stronger. Even hunting a wild boar was a piece of cake for her."
Upon hearing this, Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there was another monster like herself who had been reincarnated?
He quickly asked tentatively, "Grandma Cheng, what about that person now? How heavy can he lift now? I wonder if I'll be able to hunt wild boars in a while. If I can, then we won't be short of meat to eat."
Grandma Cheng was terrified, thinking that the young girl was reckless and wanted to go hunting wild boar right now. "You're a young girl, you can't go hunting wild boar. Besides, you're all alone in your family. If something happens to you, how can we, as old people, explain it to your grandma?"
“Yunxi, listen to me, we can’t be like that guy. When he was in his early twenties, he went to join the army against his family’s wishes. Although fighting the Japanese is a good thing, I heard that there’s still no news of him and he hasn’t come back. His parents are crying their eyes out. They don’t know if they will ever be able to come back in their lifetime.”
"Grandma Cheng, don't worry, I will study hard from now on and I won't go hunting in the mountains. You can rest assured. I can't let you keep worrying about me."
Yunxi is now 100% certain that the person's soul has been replaced, just like herself, who has taken over someone else's body.
I'm really curious about what kind of monster that person was in disguise.
If you ever have the chance to meet that person, be sure to ask them properly; you never know, they might be one of us!
Grandma Cheng glanced at Yunxi's expression and, confirming that she wasn't being fooled, finally felt relieved.
"I'm relieved that Yunxi thinks that way. Today's task is complete. I've recorded your work points. Go back and rest now, don't overwork yourself."
"Okay, I'll be right back. Thank you, Grandma Cheng."
Yunxi was still thinking about how she had a lot of things to do, so she didn't delay and went straight home.
Actually, the sun is already blazing hot. I was thinking of going to water my garden, but I have to stop now and wait until sunset.
After returning home, I had to do some chores in the space. I had to wash the chili peppers and dry them. The medicinal herbs didn't need to be washed, but I had to shake off all the dirt and other things, dry them, and then cut them. I also had to slice the hawthorns I had picked.
Thinking about it makes me realize there's still so much to do.
Quickly sort the medicinal herbs and do it right here in the space. You can also separate the dirt and other grime while you're at it. It's much cleaner than shaking them off yourself.
A single herb can be used as medicine in some places and is useless in others. For example, the effects of herbs vary depending on the specific parts required; some require the roots, while others require the leaves.
Based on the information in the herbal collection she had seen over the past few days, Yunxi sorted the herbs in her spatial dimension, keeping the useful ones and throwing the useless ones into the trash heap.
Once everything was done, the roots were the roots, the leaves were the leaves, and the stems were the stems, and everything was clearly distinguished.
After everything was divided, each type of medicinal herb was in a small pile.
It seems I've been quite diligent these past few days, and I have quite a lot of medicinal herbs.
Once it's dried, it should weigh around several hundred pounds.
Yunxi took out the medicinal herbs, which looked clean as if they had been washed. She found a clean spot, laid out wheat straw on it, and then spread the herbs out to dry.
I was originally thinking of drying the medicinal herbs on the drying mats, but there weren't enough mats, so I figured I wouldn't be able to dry them all. I decided to just dry them on the wheat straw instead.
Even if there is dirt, the space can be separated, so there is no problem with the medicinal herbs being dirty.
Apart from the empty drying mats, all other areas were already filled with drying medicinal herbs.
With nowhere to dry the remaining medicinal herbs, Yunxi had no choice but to leave the door open and dry them right there in front of her, where she could see them at a glance.
What happens if someone finds out?
Yunxi didn't care at all. Anyway, there were plenty of medicinal herbs on the mountain. If everyone wanted to pick them, they could pick them together. It would be a way for everyone to have some income.
The people here are so poor that they can only rely on the harvest from the land all year round. After paying their grain tax each year, they can only receive a few dollars at the beginning of the year.
She couldn't even afford the bride price for a wife, but she would have no objection if it could make life a little better for her fellow villagers.
But she doesn't seem to be able to take the initiative to teach others; let's wait until others discover it before we talk about it.
She brought out all the medicinal herbs, and a large area of the open ground outside was covered with them to dry.
At this moment, she was particularly fortunate that the houses of each villager were far apart and the open space outside was also very large, so it did not delay her from drying things at all.
After the medicinal herbs were dried, I quickly took a large basin to the well, filled it halfway with water, and then took out the red chili peppers from my space to wash them.
The cleaned chili peppers were put into another basin, and once the basin was full, they were poured directly onto the drying mat.
After all the red peppers were taken out of the space, they filled a drying mat. There were quite a lot of them, probably dozens or even hundreds of kilograms.
Thinking that I hadn't picked any vegetables in the past two days, I quickly grabbed my basket and prepared to pick the red peppers while I was washing them.
Although the quantity wasn't large, we still picked about ten kilograms; the chili pepper plant was just too productive.
