Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 173 Return
The night sky above the cliff and canyon was like a thin ribbon of stars, and the fire crackled as dry branches and leaves burned, with wisps of gray smoke rising slowly.

The chestnuts burst open, releasing an enticing sweet aroma, and the fish, roasted until golden brown and sizzling with oil, has a unique flavor even without salt, thanks to the addition of wild seasonings.

"It's delicious!"

They sat around the fire, already full but unable to resist picking out cracked chestnuts from time to time to satisfy their cravings.

This rare moment of leisure and relaxation brought a sense of tranquility and relief to Suning, who had been busy with a series of events since the beginning of autumn and whose nerves were on edge.

As night deepened, the occasional howl of wolves could be heard from above.

After swallowing the last bite of chestnut meat, Fu Jiaming shuddered, still feeling the eeriness of the screams. To dispel this feeling of unease, he looked at them and started a conversation.

"Could this be the summit of Baoshan Mountain?"

"maybe."

The height from which Yan Xi picked that Ganoderma lucidum was less than half the height of the cliff face, so it does seem quite possible.

They probably don't have the time to climb up there just to find out what's going on.

Su Ning tossed the small wooden stick she had been playing with into the fire, then glanced back at the three wooden boxes piled up not far away. "You should think about whether you have any ideas about your treasure."

It's too troublesome to have to make a special trip to get it when you need it, going over mountains and valleys to get it.

She could secretly move her share into Peach Blossom Spring before leaving, and even if the two of them came back later and found that her share was missing, she could say that she had found a reliable person to transport it out in advance.

When this was mentioned, Fu Jiaming and Yan Xi couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment. What good solution could they possibly come up with in the short term?

Perhaps there's nothing wrong with keeping it here, except that it's a bit inconvenient to access, but it's secure and confidential enough.

“I have a few very reliable people. If you trust me, I can get them to ship it out little by little.”

"What's there to believe or not believe!"

"Exactly, who else can we trust if not you!"

Upon hearing that she had a solution, the two were overjoyed and had no other thoughts.

After all, as they themselves said, they have complete confidence in Suning.

"If it really works, Ningning, I won't need to ship all of them out; two boxes will suffice!"

"Me too, me too. I've taken everything out and there's nowhere to hide it. I have two or three boxes, which is enough for a lifetime. We'll talk about the rest later."

Fu Jiaming nodded in agreement, agreeing with Yan Xi's assessment.

Things are not like they used to be at home. Although the old man still holds a nominal position and receives some salary, allowances, and subsidies every month.

But my mother retired early and my older brother lost his job. How can they support two families by living off their savings and the meager income of my father and son?
Especially since Uncle Yan and Uncle Yan's families live far away on the farm, if we don't find a way to provide them with timely assistance, people will really die!
Thinking of this, Fu Jiaming felt that two boxes might not be enough. What if, like the past two years, even gold and silver couldn't buy much grain? Wouldn't that leave him helpless?

Yan Qi can't hide things easily because he has to be constantly on guard against surprise attacks from above. But he can use the pretense of building a house to set up a small secret room and hide a couple more boxes... that shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Suning, I need six boxes. Take six boxes with me!"

"Once we've decided, we'll mark the items we're taking out with a label that we can easily identify and pile them up here. That way, when I have someone transport them together, they'll be easier to spot."

"Okay!" "Sure!"

Having eaten too much and with nothing to do, Fu Jiaming and Yan Xi stood up to pack their things and decide what to take with them.

Yan Xi first emptied two boxes, thinking that her only niece would be getting married soon, and the two boys in the family would also get married one after another in two or three years. She immediately made a plan in her mind.

The box was filled with gold and silver jewelry that women love, especially the beautiful headdress that women wore when they got married in ancient times – it had to be stuffed inside!
The other box contained two layers of gold ingots at the bottom, and on top were gold items of various shapes and sizes, such as peanuts, melon seeds, and the twelve zodiac animals. It was soon filled with them.

Yan Xi drew an arrow shape in the lower left corner of the two boxes and turned to look at her, "Ningning, I'm done, these are the two."

"Okay, Uncle Yan."

"I'm all better now, Suning!"

Nodding, Su Ning noticed that both of their suitcases were clearly marked and placed next to hers to avoid confusion.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the three of them gradually regained consciousness. After extinguishing the still-sparkling fire and gathering their belongings, they prepared to set off on their return journey.

Su Ning, who was deliberately walking at the back, quickly put the pile of boxes into Peach Blossom Spring as the two were about to turn around and enter the cave. She immediately quickened her pace so that the two would not have a chance to turn around and call her.

After walking out of the stone gate, they moved the protrusion back to its original position as they had done when the gate opened. The gate slowly closed, the three of them smiled at each other, and climbed out of the pit one by one using the rope.

……

The three of them did not return home all night, and Luo Shuangshuang and the Yan family naturally worried all night.

Qian Hongmei had to go to the fields with a heavy heart, but her husband hadn't returned by the time she went to work. She had to ask the team leader for another day off for him.

"Grandma, I want to go to the place in the mountains to wait for them."

Knowing that she couldn't sit still, and that she herself would probably want to go and wait there if it weren't for her old bones, Granny Yan didn't try to persuade her much. She just told her two grandsons to accompany her, since those few points were naturally not as important as her granddaughter.

Yan Wen and Yan Wu didn't hesitate, picked up their tools, and accompanied her to the place where they entered the mountains.

While waiting for their father, the two of them could also gather some firewood and pig feed, so they could do both without any problems.

When the sun was almost directly overhead and blazing, they finally spotted the three somewhat disheveled figures in the distance.

She jumped up from the big rock, quickly called out to her two younger brothers, and happily ran towards them.

"Uncle, Ning Baogai, you're finally back..."

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the disheveled state of being covered in grass clippings and mud was nothing compared to the fact that there was also blood on the body.
"Are you injured? Where are you hurt? How serious is it?"

"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury. You'll just need some ointment later!"

After glancing at her uncle and then at her friend, and seeing that her friend nodded in agreement, Luo Shuangshuang finally felt somewhat relieved of her worries.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

Fu Jiaming raised his hand to his lips in dissatisfaction and coughed twice to remind him: "My significant other is right here, and you can't even see me?"

The memory of running into a lone wolf on my way out still sends chills down my spine.

Given this, isn't it reasonable to ask for a partner's care and concern?

"Uncle, Ning Baogai, let's go back quickly so I can help you apply the medicine!"

"Hey, hey, Shuangshuang, where's I? What about me?!"

Seeing her grab the arms of the two men on either side and turn to leave as if flying, Fu Jiaming was dumbfounded. He quickly endured the pain in his legs and chased after her.

"I almost forgot I have a boyfriend!"

"Pfft~"

"Hahaha, You're still as naughty as ever!"

Actually, Luo Shuangshuang was just joking. How could she not have noticed him? But compared to them, Fu Jiaming was only a little dirty and not as glaringly red as the two of them, so she naturally felt at ease about him.

The group quickly returned to the Yan family home. Granny Yan, who had been waiting anxiously like an ant on a hot pan, saw that all three of them had returned safely. She put her hands together and said, "May Amitabha Buddha and Bodhisattva protect us."

Because of the unexpected wolf, Yan Xi's hand was injured again due to the hasty use of a bow and arrow.

Su Ning, who couldn't run fast enough, was also scratched on the arm. Fu Jiaming, for this, recklessly kicked the wolf in the head with his leg.

With a head of bronze, teeth of iron, and a body of tofu, this kick almost broke his bone and caused a huge swelling.

Fortunately, Yan Xi's two arrows were timely, piercing its eyes. Otherwise, facing the wolf that had been aroused and turned around to pounce with its blood-red mouth open, Fu Jiaming would have suffered more than just a leg injury.

After treating the three people's injuries, Luo Shuangshuang's eyes still couldn't help but turn red.

However, seeing that they were all trying to remain calm and saying that nothing was wrong, she couldn't cry and whimper, lest she turn a perfectly normal situation into something serious.

After a quick lunch, the three prepared to set off immediately.

Luo Shuangshuang and Fu Jiaming were relieved because of the medicine provided by Su Ning. Now that they had the Ganoderma lucidum, they naturally had to rush back as soon as possible to provide it to Elder Liu for extraction.
