Chapter 12 The Temptation of Millennium Ginseng
Shen Anan put the axe at home into the space, filled a kettle with boiling water, went back to the room, changed into thick clothes, tied up the cuffs and trouser legs with cloth strips, and prepared to set off.
"Aunt, why are you dressed like this?" Sister Shen Liping was carrying the clothes she had washed at the riverside. As soon as she walked to the door of her house, she ran into Shen Anan who was about to go out.
"Nothing, you guys go in quickly, I'm going to take a walk on the nearby hillside. I haven't been writing well lately, so I'm going to look for some inspiration."
"By the way, I brought some dry food with me, so I won't be back for lunch."
If Shen Anan dared to tell the truth, she might not be able to leave the door, and could only use the excuse of looking for inspiration to appease her nieces.
Even this Shen Liping was worried, "Aunt, why don't you wait, we'll hang up the clothes and go with you!"
Ever since Shen Anan fell into the river last time, her family has been extremely cautious about her going out alone.
"No, no, if there are too many people, I won't be able to find inspiration. You just stay at home and I'll buy you some snacks after I get the royalties!"
"Aunt, you must be careful and come back soon!"
Chen Liping really doesn't understand why she can't find inspiration when there are too many people. Maybe finding inspiration is like catching small fish. When there are too many people, it's easy to scare the fish?
After Shen Anan went out, he deliberately bypassed the main road and avoided the villagers. It took about twenty minutes to reach the foot of Liuhe Mountain.
Liuhe Mountain is about one thousand meters high. Because not many people come here, the only path leading up the mountain is covered with weeds.
Fortunately, he brought an axe, and Shen Anan was very strong, so he moved forward while clearing the roadblocks, and his speed was not slow.
Shen Anan walked and observed her surroundings, ready to take out the electric baton from the space at any time. Fortunately, after her transformation, her five senses became much more sensitive, so she was able to walk safely along the way.
He even stopped halfway up the mountain to pick a basket of tiger heads, which are commonly known as yellow boletus mushrooms. In his previous life, Shen Anan liked to eat this kind of mushroom very much, but it could not be cultivated artificially and had to be picked up in the mountains, so the yield was really not high.
Tiger head is very delicious whether it is used in soup or stir-fry. It is also because no one comes up to Liuhe Mountain all year round that so many can be found in the forest. If it weren't for the time, Shen Anan would just want to keep picking it.
After picking mushrooms, Shen Anan took out two meat buns from the space, filled his stomach with hot water, and continued to rush to the sign-in point in one go.
I was still thinking as I walked. It seems that I should prepare more ready-made food and put it in the space. Anyway, the space can keep the food in the state it was just put in. Next time, if I need it, I can take it out and eat it directly.
Three hours later, Shen Anan finally arrived at the check-in point. It was like a basin, surrounded by green mountains, and this was a valley in the middle.
There is a small lake in the valley, with several large rocks lying beside the lake. There are tall trees beside the lake, and the red arrow for signing in is right next to the lake.
In his previous life, Shen Anan had camped in many places, so he naturally knew that there were many wild animals near water sources, so he carefully observed and found no danger, then slowly approached the lake.
There were indeed some excrement scattered around the lake, but it was unclear what kind of creature it belonged to. Shen Anan had no intention of investigating further and just wanted to sign in and leave quickly.
"Ding, it is detected that the host has arrived at the third-level sign-in point - the lakeside. This sign-in will consume 5 sign-in opportunities. Please confirm whether to sign in?"
Shen Anan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the number of check-ins consumed by the third-level check-in point had also increased. The number of check-ins consumed by the fourth-level check-in point must be even greater. It seems that she will have to save up some check-ins later.
Fortunately, Shen Anan didn’t go to town these days, so there were still nine sign-in opportunities left to be used.
"confirm."
"Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at the lake. You will be rewarded with a thousand-year-old ginseng."
It turned out to be a thousand-year-old ginseng!
This is good stuff!
The ginseng was packed in a brocade box. When Shen Anan took it out, she almost couldn’t hold it. She didn’t expect that the box was nearly two meters long.
When you open it, you can see the ginseng roots clearly, with fresh soil on them, just like they were just dug out. The whole thing resembles a human figure, as if you can see human limbs and facial features.
Exuding waves of the unique fragrance of ginseng, Shen Anan felt refreshed and all her fatigue disappeared just by smelling the fragrance.
It’s worthy of being a third-level reward!
In her previous life, even at an auction, Shen Anan had never seen a real thousand-year-old ginseng, and a hundred-year-old one was already very rare.
If this thousand-year-old ginseng were to be auctioned, it would probably be sold at a sky-high price. After all, rich people are the most willing to spend money on skin care products, let alone a life-saving medicine like this.
But Shen Anan didn't plan to sell it. This ginseng was too rare, so it would be more cost-effective to keep it for herself and her family. Even if it cannot be considered a fatal medicine, it can still be considered a miracle drug in this era when medical science was underdeveloped.
This trip was really fruitful! It was worth it that she climbed the mountain for so long!
Shen Anan put the ginseng into the space and planned to return the same way. At this moment, there was a rustling sound suddenly coming from behind.
Shen Anan turned around alertly, took the electric baton in his hand in an instant, and slowly retreated behind the pine tree next to him.
Oh no, I actually encountered a wild boar!
Shen Anan looked ahead vigilantly. An adult wild boar weighing 500 kilograms was slowly walking towards this side. Its limbs were strong and powerful, and its eyes were looking around with a vigilant look.
The wild boar walked to the place where Shen Anan had just signed in, sniffed around, turned around in confusion, shook its tail and lay down.
Shen Anan looked at the big guy lying like a small mountain and felt a little annoyed. If she had known, she should have left quickly after signing in. This wild boar was probably attracted by the smell of the thousand-year-old ginseng, and it didn't look like it would leave for a while.
The place where she was hiding was too close to the wild boar. Any movement would surely alarm the big guy, but she couldn't just stay there and wait.
Not to mention how dangerous it would be to cross Liuhe Mountain after dark. If we waited any longer, other animals might come to the lake to drink water, making it even more difficult to escape.
It was only when she saw this big guy that Shen Anan realized her mistake. She had originally thought that with the electric baton, she would be able to protect herself.
But now, looking at the wild boar's long fangs and sturdy body, and then looking at the stun baton about 20 centimeters in her hand, Shen Anan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Judging from the wild boar's speed, her stun gun might have pierced through it with its sharp fangs before it even touched the big guy.
Before I could think of any good solution, I saw the big guy in front of me suddenly stood up.
Shen Anan immediately tensed up all his nerves, thinking quickly, thinking about the possibility of climbing up a tree to hide.
But the big guy in front stood up and walked slowly to the lake to drink water. In a short moment, Shen Anan felt that his back was sweating.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the big guy in front of him suddenly howled, turned around and rushed towards where Shen Anan was hiding.
