Gu Rong walked out of the cave, looked at the bright sky outside, and did not immediately go down the mountain.
Instead, I opened the system search function, selected ginseng and lingzhi, and wanted to see if there were any good ones nearby.
That way, when we get back, we'll have a reason to lie about it.
Otherwise, if I go back like this, I'm afraid I'll be interrogated relentlessly.
However, if he doesn't go back for just a few days, or if he disappears after the incident, even if he brings things back, he will definitely be nagged about endlessly.
Gu Rong stared at the system screen, and after a while, several small red dots appeared on the map.
She was overjoyed and followed the instructions to walk toward the nearest red dot.
Not long after walking, we saw a ginseng of excellent quality hidden in the grass.
Gu Rong carefully dug out the ginseng and put it into the system space.
Continuing to follow the map in search of Ganoderma lucidum, she found several more plants, which she collected as if they were precious treasures.
Seeing that the sun was already starting to set, Gu Rong decided to go down the mountain. By the time she returned to the village, it was already getting dark.
When the villagers saw Gu Rong and the blood on her body, their faces were full of worry: "Gu Zhiqing, where have you been these past few days? Your brother and the others have been looking for you like crazy."
Gu Rong rubbed her eyes, her face full of fear: "I went up the mountain a couple of days ago and encountered a wild boar. I was chased into the deep mountains."
I also injured my leg. I'll rest for a few days before I dare to come down. Thank you for telling me about the situation, Auntie. I'll go home and check on it now.
"Go quickly, go quickly."
Gu Rong waved to them and pretended to limp as she quickly walked home.
When she arrived at her doorstep, she saw Han Jianshu coming out of the house.
Gu Rong waved and said, "Hi~".
Han Jianshu smiled and waved, then pointed inside: "You're back. Come on in, your brother and sister-in-law are getting impatient."
"Okay, I'll go in first," Gu Rong said, nodding as she pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside.
Seeing the people who were already waiting in the courtyard, Gu Rong smiled and walked in: "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm back."
Seeing Gu Rong return, Gu Xing quickly stepped forward and said, "Where have you been all this time? You're covered in blood. Do you know how worried we were?"
Gu Rong touched her face and explained awkwardly, "I accidentally ran into the deep mountains and injured my leg. I only started walking back after I got a little better these past two days. See, I'm back now, aren't I?"
Upon hearing that he had gone to the deep mountains, Gu Xing frowned: "Tell me about yourself. When I told you to come back, you secretly ran up the mountain. Why did you run up the mountain instead of coming back?"
"If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to Mom and the others? You're really going to drive me crazy. If you do this again, I'm not going to talk to you about anything anymore."
Gu Rong lowered her head, looking like she was obediently admitting her mistake: "Brother, I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time. Please don't be angry. I even brought some nice things home."
As she spoke, she pulled Gu Xing back to the room.
Then she took out the ginseng and lingzhi from her system space, pretending that she took them out of the backpack beside her.
Gu Xing stared wide-eyed at the things in her hands, then glared angrily at Gu Rong: "Look at you, it's so dangerous up in the mountains, why didn't you come back quickly? Why are you looking for these things? What do you mean life is more important?"
Gu Rong nodded hurriedly, "Brother, I know I was wrong. I was thinking that these things could be sold to make money and improve the family's life. In my anxiety, I didn't think about the danger."
Look, I'm back safe and sound. Let's quickly discuss how to get rid of this stuff, improve our lives, and then I can do less work and more studying. If I really do take the college entrance exam, I'll try to get into a university in Beijing.
Gu Xing took a deep breath to calm himself down. "This is the last time. If there's a next time, I'll really teach you a lesson."
As for these things being yours, I'll find some time to sell them in the next couple of days. We don't want the money, and don't offer them to us; we don't need them."
"Okay, okay, I'll keep it myself, forget about it," Gu Rong stuck out her tongue and obediently agreed.
Then he handed all the bags in his hands to Gu Xing: "Then I'll leave them to you. I'm not going to worry about them anymore. I'm hungry. Is there any food at home?"
"Yes, I heard you were coming back, so I've been saving food for you. I'll have your sister-in-law serve you some. You can sit and rest in your room," Gu Xing said, taking the bag and standing up to leave.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, brother and sister-in-law." Gu Rong sat in the room, and soon Han Xinyi brought in steaming hot food.
Gu Rong reached out to take it, but Han Xinyi dodged it, saying, "I'll do it. Go wash your hands and come over so you can eat."
"Thank you, sister-in-law," Gu Rong said as she walked out of the room, washed her hands, and hurried back in.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the meat and vegetables on the plate, Gu Rong couldn't help but swallow.
Although her soul has been eating, her body hasn't eaten for several days.
I wanted to eat like a lady, but after a few bites, I couldn't help but wolf it down. After finishing everything, I put down my chopsticks and lay on the bed, rubbing my stomach with a feeling of complete satisfaction.
Seeing that she had finished eating, Han Xinyi cleared the table of dishes.
Seeing this, Gu Rong sat up and said, "Sister-in-law, I can do it."
Han Xinyi slapped her hand away: "I can do it. The water in the pot is boiled. Go wash up and then get a good night's sleep."
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law," Gu Rong said, turning to go to the kitchen to prepare water for a bath.
Gu Xing looked at the blood on her body and felt that she was injured. He frowned and followed her into the kitchen, saying, "Alright, alright, go in and prepare your things yourself. I'll get you the water."
Gu Rong had been lying in bed for the past four or five days, and had been running around all day. She was exhausted and really didn't want to move.
Seeing that Gu Xing was willing to help, Gu Rong immediately let go of his hand: "Thank you, brother."
She ran back to her room and started preparing clean clothes and things. By the time Gu Xing called her from outside, she had just finished getting ready.
Gu Rong came out carrying the things and entered the washroom: "I'm here, I'm here. Thank you for your hard work, brother."
Gu Xing waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, alright, I'm going out. Hurry up and pack your things. Take out your clothes later and let your sister-in-law wash them for you."
"Okay, brother, you can go now," Gu Rong pushed Gu Xing out of the bathroom, then locked the door from the inside. He soaked in the water and instantly felt comfortable.
After taking a bath, Gu Rong walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.
Hearing the noise, Han Xinyi came out of the room and said, "Give me the clothes, go inside and sleep for a while."
Gu Rong handed the dirty clothes she had taken off to her sister-in-law Han Xinyi: "Sister-in-law, thank you for your trouble, you've worked hard."
Han Xinyi took the clothes and said with a smile, "It's no trouble at all, you just need to rest."
"I'm not sleepy yet, I'm going to find Han Jianshu," Gu Rong said, walking out of the courtyard gate and heading towards the next house.
She pressed the open door and saw Han Jianshu sitting there. Gu Rong felt that he had been waiting for her, so she stepped inside.
