Midway through July, Su Qingmeng suddenly had an idea and said to Lin Xiuyao, "Let's go find some ginseng!" Ginseng was in its fruiting stages at this time and was easy to find.
Lin Xiuyao was helpless, "Whatever you think is the same." He thought about it and felt that it was okay. After all, there was space and they could hide when they encountered danger.
"Okay, get ready in two days."
This time they decided to go deep into the mountains and not return that day. Lin Xiuyao and the team leader asked for leave, saying they were going to the provincial capital.
Team leader: "What are you doing going to the provincial capital again?" Young people don't know how to live without elders at home.
Lin Xiuyao: "There's a Xinhua Bookstore in the provincial capital. Qingmeng wants to go there to buy some books."
The team leader reluctantly agreed. Su Qingmeng's articles were often submitted to the newspapers, and the commune often praised their team. She loved studying, and he couldn't stop her from buying books.
The two men left the village and secretly returned to the mountain via a small path. They both smeared mosquito and insect repellent ointment on their bodies and wore long sleeves and long pants, as there were snakes in the forest at this time of year.
To protect against snakes, they tied bandages around their calves, leaving no skin exposed. As they climbed the mountain, they used sturdy wooden sticks to push aside the grass and strike it.
They walked for a long time before entering the deep mountains. Their eyesight was quite good, and they searched as they walked. They didn't see any ginseng, but they did find other medicinal herbs. They slept directly in the space at night.
The next day, they woke up, ate, and continued their search, finally finding success. That morning, Su Qingmeng found a stalk of Grade 6 ginseng. After finding the ginseng, the two approached cautiously, tapping around it with sticks to ensure it was clear before beginning to dig.
Digging ginseng requires care and attention. Staying so focused was a bit tiring, so Su Qingmeng dug for a while, then Lin Xiuyao took over. She wandered around, stretching her body.
Suddenly, inspiration struck her. She placed her hand on a nearby plant, intending to place it into space. The plant vanished, and she used her mind to retrieve it, its roots intact.
Su Qingmeng was excited. This way, she wouldn't have to work so hard to dig ginseng. She repeated the process again and put the ginseng away. Lin Xiuyao praised her, "You're such a clever little girl."
They searched around and found this one, so they continued to go deeper.
At noon, Su Qingmeng had lunch in the space. "Ginseng is so hard to find. I only found one."
Lin Xiuyao laughed at her greed and said, "We are already lucky."
After lunch, they took a nap. In the afternoon, they transferred the goods and unexpectedly found a piece of goods. Su Qingmeng counted them and found a total of seven.
There was one six-leaf ginseng, two four-leaf ginsengs, and four small ginsengs. They collected the larger ones and kept one small one for sustainable development.
On the third day, they had already gone quite deep, discovering other precious medicinal herbs and a dozen wild Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms. Near dusk, they found a century-old ginseng that resembled a running figure.
Lying on the bed in the space at night, Su Qingmeng was quite happy. "This trip has yielded good results. Let's go back tomorrow." She even heard the tiger's roar today. Although she had the space to support her, she was still a little worried.
Lin Xiuyao: "Okay, let's go back and take another route. I remember the direction!" The two of them made marks along the way to prevent getting lost, but he often wandered around in the mountains and forests and had a good sense of direction. Changing the route could bring new gains.
They slept in the space for a night and then headed back.
With Lin Xiuyao around, Su Qingmeng could distract herself from time to time. She looked around, wondering if she could find anything. A stone embedded in the mountain wall caught her attention.
This stone looked especially like the one in a TV show, with a cave behind it. She pulled Lin Xiuyao and said, "I want to go and see it."
Lin Xiuyao looked at where she was pointing, a large round stone, and said helplessly, "Isn't it just a stone? Why are you so curious?"
Having said that, he still took Su Qingmeng there. It took them several minutes to arrive. He knocked on it, but there was nothing special about it, just an ordinary stone.
Su Qingmeng approached and said, "Be careful." She placed her hand on the stone and silently chanted to enter the space.
The stone disappeared, and behind it was an empty cave entrance. Sure enough, there was another world. She gave Lin Xiuyao a smug look, "Look!"
Lin Xiuyao gave a thumbs up and said, "My wife is really amazing."
When they came out, they put everything they might need inside the space. He took out his flashlight and shone it inside, seeing no small animals. The two found a branch to light a fire and threw it in to test the oxygen supply. It burned normally.
Su Qingmeng followed Lin Xiuyao inside, throwing stones as they walked. In case there was a trap, they slowed down their pace and stepped firmly before moving forward.
After walking about seven or eight meters, I reached the end of the cave. The cave was not deep. There were more than a dozen wooden boxes at the end.
Lin Xiuyao walked forward and took the wooden boxes, and put them into the space. The two of them checked the cave and found nothing else, so they retreated.
After exiting the cave, they entered the space to check. The wooden boxes were one meter square and looked quite old. The wood was a bit rotten. There were sixteen of them in total.
Su Qingmeng opened the lid wearing gloves. It was all cloth. She poked it lightly and it broke.
They opened everything: two wooden boxes of cloth, two boxes of women's clothing, and two boxes of jewelry, all packed in small wooden boxes. They contained jade hairpins, jeweled tiaras, jade bracelets, necklaces, dragon and phoenix jade pendants, and other women's accessories. Three boxes contained ornaments: a jade Guanyin, a plum blossom potted jade sculpture, and a blue and white porcelain vase.
A box of ancient cosmetics. The container was still intact, but the contents were all dried up.
The two boxes contained books and calligraphy, all in traditional Chinese characters. Lin Xiuyao knew most of them, and he flipped through them one by one. "Poetry, classical Chinese, and this one..." He took out a piece of paper, which was placed in a small box with several other pieces of paper. "Land deed."
There were three more boxes of porcelain, mostly daily necessities, including porcelain bowls, tea sets, and jars. The last box contained gold and silver ingots.
Inside the clothes was a phoenix coronet and bridal robe. Su Qingmeng carefully picked it up. "This must be a woman's dowry." Someone didn't know what misfortune this bride had encountered, but her dowry was left in this cave in the wild mountains.
Lin Xiuyao held up a piece of paper and said, "It should be. This is the dowry list. This box is made of good wood, but it's a pity that it has rotted away."
Su Qingmeng said, "I never thought I'd find a treasure one day." She sighed, her luck having improved a lot since crossing over. "You know what? Where I used to live, there were often raffles, and I always thanked them for their patronage. My biggest reward was a pack of tissues at a shopping mall event."
Lin Xiuyao: "I think you are very lucky now. You found such a big ginseng yesterday!"
Su Qingmeng's eyebrows lit up with joy, "I'm lucky now. I didn't expect that traveling through time and space would change my luck."
The weather on the farm changed, and the evening light streamed in through the windows. Lin Xiuyao said, "Put the things away and put them in the warehouse, or they'll get even worse."
Su Qingmeng put all the items into the warehouse. "I really made the right decision this time." She stretched. "I'm hungry. Let's go to the farm for dinner." Lin Xiuyao's thatched hut was too simple.
After resting for a night in the space, their return journey went smoothly and they arrived back to the village on the afternoon of the fourth day.
When I returned to the village, I happened to see the hustle and bustle of the educated youth site. Chang Hong was chasing a new male educated youth with a stick and beating him.
