Chapter 266 A Gift from Heaven



"Let's put up a curtain to protect our privacy," Ye Moxun said casually as he took off his clothes.

There's so much to do. Who would come to watch him take a bath in the middle of nowhere? Maybe a few dogs would, but even those dogs might not care.

Song Tantan inwardly grumbled, but didn't show it on her face. She obediently took out a curtain and surrounded the wooden tub to prevent any water from seeping in. Then she thought about what else she might have forgotten. Oh, right, there were still bath towels and shower gel.

"Everything's ready for you, go take a shower." Song Tantan said with a doting expression.

Ye Moxun: "..."

After Ye Moxun finished showering, the two set up a huge parasol under the shade of a tree, sprinkled lime powder around it, and then lay down to sleep on a deck chair under the parasol, with two electric fans on a small table in the middle.

The space lost power the moment she passed through; it was impossible to restore power.

But the battery is usable; this electric fan has replaceable batteries. It's still quite nice to use in this kind of terrible weather. Just like Song Tantan said, this is the last bit of gentleness left behind by the high technology of her previous life after time travel.

Ye Moxun said, "No, everything in this space is a gift from God to you. No one is as lucky as you."

So now they can enjoy electric fans, iced drinks, and a variety of fruits. Both of them are wearing short sleeves and shorts, enjoying the modern lifestyle without restraint in this desolate wilderness.

"It would be perfect if there were fully automatic air conditioning." Song Tantan felt a little regretful, as she ultimately couldn't enjoy the most advanced technology.

Alas, human desires are insatiable. Once you have a fan, you want an air conditioner, just like once you have a bicycle, you want a BMW with four wheels. Once you buy a house, you want a villa. Desires are endless.

"Save your breath. Why don't you just say it would be more perfect to go back?" Ye Moxun shattered her fantasy.

"Hmm, I'd like to," Song Tan mumbled before succumbing to sleepiness and falling asleep. Soon, even breathing could be heard.

Being carefree is great; you can fall asleep whenever you want.

The day passed by in a relatively leisurely manner. The next day, the two began searching for herbs in the forest and found many rare and exotic herbs, including many that were not found in the deep mountains of Xifeng.

What surprised them even more was that they actually found two wild ginseng plants and a cluster of Ganoderma lucidum here. Experienced people know that wild Ganoderma lucidum often grows in clusters. Once you find one, you'll find a bunch of seven or eight or even a dozen.

This cluster of Ganoderma lucidum was discovered by Song Tantan. She and her aunt had picked Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains back in her hometown. Many trees rot after growing Ganoderma lucidum, so you can't go wrong looking under the decaying leaves. The most common place is under maple trees. Ganoderma lucidum growing under maple trees has a full range of medicinal uses, so you can pick it with confidence.

Another unexpected discovery was that Ye Mo found matsutake mushrooms. In modern times, matsutake mushrooms are sold at very high prices, but in ancient times they were not so sought after. Although this type of fungus is recorded in various ancient medical books, matsutake mushrooms are not often mentioned in the rare and famous dishes passed down from ancient times to the present, which shows that the ancients did not value this thing very much.

However, it was a delightful discovery for Song Tantan and Ye Moxun. Others might not know how precious it was, but they kept it for themselves. It was so rare, as it grew in a pollution-free, non-artificial environment. They hadn't even found this thing in the deep mountains of Xifeng.

They picked so many that they filled a huge basket. If Song Tantan hadn't had a spatial ability, she wouldn't have been able to carry that much, especially considering there were also Ganoderma lucidum and other herbs.

"We came to the right place! There are plenty of good things in Chiyin Peak. We've struck gold again. There are even red mushrooms here." Red mushrooms are a rare and precious type of fungus with high medicinal value. Dried red mushrooms can sell for thousands of yuan per kilogram in modern times. They are also very good for the health of ordinary people.

"I'll keep them all for myself. I can add them to soups later. Just thinking about it makes me happy," Song Tantan smacked her lips.

As for the more common shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and trumpet mushrooms, there were so many that Song Tantan and Ye Moxun picked them all without missing a single one. Thinking about the famines of previous years when there was a shortage of everything, they felt a pang of sorrow. They stocked up on everything edible so as not to waste anything.

Unfortunately, it was past the season for termite mushrooms to grow. Termite mushrooms have many other names, such as umbrella mushroom, fighting chicken mushroom, and chicken shred mushroom. In Song Tantan's hometown dialect, they are called chicken mushroom. She remembers that they grow on the ridges of her family's private plot, and many of them sprout up every spring. She picks a few to stir-fry with dried vegetables or to make pork soup, and the taste is excellent.

There were so many wonderful things in the mountains that the two of them were having so much fun that they forgot about the time they had agreed to meet with Aunt Ma. They had originally said they would be back in seven days at the latest, but now, nine days had passed, and they were still happily picking herbs and catching small animals in the mountains.

After thinking about it, I realized it's because the space is too big, and it's never been full, which is why they keep hoarding things.

They figured that since they had already postponed it for two days and Ma Shaohua's illness was under control and wouldn't cause any problems in the short term, they might as well stay in the mountains for a few more days. They had been gathering mountain produce for almost ten days, but they had only reached one-third of Chiyin Mountain. There were still many places they hadn't been to.

After spending another night in the mountains, the sky was overcast when we woke up the next day, and it looked like it was going to rain. July and August are months when thunderstorms are common. There are countless towering trees on Chiyin Mountain, so it was really not safe to stay in the mountains.

"Let's get down the mountain as soon as possible, or it will be troublesome if it rains." Ye Moxun frowned as he looked at a dark cloud on the horizon.

Everything could be stored in their spatial storage, so their speed was still quite fast even when traveling empty-handed. Song Tantan held onto Ye Moxun's wrist tightly, as if afraid of losing him.
