Chapter 48 Figure it out

As if in disbelief, she stared at the mirror for a long time until she saw the scab on her back wound gradually fall off, leaving only a new pinkish scar.

She knew the Peach Blossom Spring was magical, but each deeper understanding of it still amazed her.

With mixed feelings, I put my clothes back on and then threw the gauze, which was stained with blood and ointment, into the dustpan in the yard.

It's so nice not having to constantly worry about pulling on the wound on my back!
After stretching his arms a few times, Su Ning burst into hearty laughter, "Haha, turning misfortune into good fortune definitely deserves a proper celebration!"

Intrigued, she decided not to use her mental powers. Instead, she took a fishing net and a bucket from the room, which had originally been used as a storage room but had been converted into a tool shed, and headed straight for the deep pool formed by the mountain stream.

Ever since she learned of this deep pool at the junction of two mountains, she has used her mind to drive many small fish fry to settle here.

I wonder if fish raised in ponds are really more delicious.

A silvery waterfall cascades down the mountain stream, its splashing water creating ripples of emerald green in the pool below.

Perhaps because there was no danger in the mountains and forests, the fish in the water were too comfortable and unsuspecting. On his first netting attempt, Suning caught several palm-sized fish.

Keep the largest ones and put the rest, which are less than a finger's length long, back into the pond.

After scraping off the fish scales, gutting and cleaning them, they built a circle with stones on the bank, gathered some dry branches and leaves for firewood, and set up a wooden rack to start grilling the fish.

The first one wasn't cooked properly and was burnt black; there wasn't a single part she could bring herself to eat.

Frustrated and amused, I had no choice but to try again. Having learned from my previous failure, I made significant progress this time.

She grilled the whole fish until it was golden brown and crispy, and with the unique seasoning packet that her grandfather had researched and improved, the enticing aroma was enough to make your mouth water.

"Mmm, delicious!"

Holding the skewered fish to his mouth, he blew on it briefly before taking a big bite, reluctant to spit it out even though it burned his mouth.

Even after finishing the whole fish, he was still not satisfied and, without caring about his image, he sucked on the finger that had held the fish tail.

Lying contentedly on the smooth rock, clutching her lower abdomen, Su Ning couldn't help but sigh, her thoughts drifting away.

After this incident, she suddenly felt that perhaps she didn't need to pay too much attention to the special abilities triggered by touching other people in the future.

I won't deliberately keep my distance out of concern and arouse suspicion.

It's because even if you can see the future, the right to choose whether or not to intervene and change it is always in your own hands.

Moreover, it seems that after she regained consciousness from near death and gained this ability, she has unknowingly become the biggest variable.

Just like the future scene that Mingming saw this time, there was only Fu Jiaming and Yan Bei, and the person driving the carriage was not Su Jianmin, the eldest grandson of Grandpa Su.

Because of her, everything changed.

She wasn't in the foreseen future scene, but when the passengers were changed and she was added, she still encountered the little black dog and was hit by falling rocks again...

It's as if... this is the predetermined fate of Yanbei and Fu Jiaming. As a variable, she cannot prevent the incident from happening, but she can change the ending.

Suning didn't know what this meant, but through this unexpected event...

She seemed to have a vague, undefined thought: changing her fate on her birthday meant her future was unpredictable.

"Whoo~"

He shook his head, took a deep breath to clear his mind of these chaotic thoughts, and got up to return to the courtyard.

Taking advantage of her free time, she needed to sort out a few gifts and mail them back to Beijing.

Grandpa Fu has a fondness for wild game, and he still has quite a few left from the second team of Shengli Commune last time.

Dragging several large snakeskin bags, he jogged all the way to the underground storage room.

Wild rabbits and pheasants can be smoked and made into the most popular cured meats among the local ethnic minorities, as well as cured pork and sausages that are indispensable for them during festivals.

It tastes great and can be stored for a long time in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Yingying and Xiaoting both love sweets. The fruit from the orchard can be made into canned goods and dried fruit. We'll mail them more so they can eat their fill.

Since giving birth to the twins, a boy and a girl, Aunt Lotus suffered from severe bleeding and was left with anemia. She needs to eat more iron-rich foods.

Raisins, black sesame seeds... She also needs to bring in some beehives and make some honey when she has the chance.

Once we had an idea, we acted on it immediately!
……

After a flurry of activity in the space, they smoked cured meats, made fresh canned fruit and dried fruit, and carefully sealed and packaged everything after it was all done.

Looking at the two large, full packages, Su Ning wiped the sweat from her face and couldn't help but smile broadly.

"I hope Grandpa Fu and the others will like what they receive."

I was in a rush this time and didn't make authentic cured meats, just simple smoking and air-drying. I'll mail them the real cured meats next time before the Lunar New Year.

After smelling the rich aroma of meat on his body, he took a refreshing shower, changed his clothes, and then slipped out of the space.

There is no concept of time in Peach Blossom Spring. Only when you come out do you realize that the morning light outside the window has turned into the afterglow of the setting sun.

I glanced at my watch; it was 5:36 PM. The post office wasn't far; if I rushed, I should make it in time.
Thankfully, her injuries had healed; otherwise, dragging those two heavy snakeskin bags would have required her to go back to the hospital.

"Hello comrade, could you please mail something to me?"

She was panting heavily after walking less than 100 meters, and her ten fingers were sore and numb from being squeezed so tightly.

The post office worker was a kind-hearted woman. She wasn't angry that Suning had rushed over near closing time. As usual, she carefully checked the items before packing them properly.

After everything was done, Suning thanked the staff, bought a stack of new envelopes, stationery, and stamps, and confirmed the pickup location for tomorrow with the driver he had booked with the factory's transportation team. Only then did he walk out of the post office feeling relieved.

The town was bustling in the evening, with workers rushing home after finishing their work and villagers heading to town to buy daily necessities and then taking their oxcarts to the production team.

In some families where meals are eaten early, the children are holding large bowls and showing off to their neighbors the scrambled eggs they rarely get to eat.

A few kids, sniffling and drooling, chased after the old-fashioned bicycle that sold popsicles, their eyes glued to the styrofoam box on the back.

This drew bursts of laughter and playful banter from the women sitting on the threshold, chatting and picking vegetables.

"Suning?!"

Fu Jiaming waved a hand in front of her eyes, revealing a set of bright white teeth. "What are you looking at so intently? Why didn't you answer when I called you? Why are you still in the county and haven't returned to Gushi?"

Just as she was enjoying the lively atmosphere of the city, someone suddenly reached out and blocked her way. Startled, Su Ning caught sight of the face that should have been in the hospital but had suddenly appeared there, and retorted irritably, "What do you want by stopping a woman on the main road? Are you trying to be a pervert?"

"Hey! Suning, we're good friends, you can't just rip me off like this. Besides, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Fu Jiaming clutched his chest with one hand, his face filled with disbelief, as if to say, "So this is what you, Su Ning, are like."

I was genuinely amused by his exaggerated expression, and then I noticed that he was half-hugging a small black dog with his other hand.

She recognized it at a glance as the 'dog that blocked her way last night,' because it was so easy to spot with its all-black fur and one small white paw. Su Ning raised her chin slightly and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"Well, I was just thinking of getting Yan Qi a nice meal at the state-run restaurant when I inexplicably ran into this guy."

Looking at their mud-covered bodies, it's hard to imagine how long those four short legs took to catch up with them to town.

Just now, Fu Jiaming picked it up without thinking much, but now he was troubled: Could it be that he hasn't found a girlfriend yet, but has to take care of this dog first?
Glancing at the person in front of him, Fu Jiaming's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "Hey Su Ning, look how cute this puppy is. It was one of us who went through thick and thin last night. You...want to keep it?"

"Well, the main problem is that I'm a grown man, and I'm really afraid I won't be able to take good care of such a little thing!"

The little black dog seemed to be very intelligent. Upon hearing his words, it raised its head and looked at Su Ning with its wet eyes, making a soft, sobbing sound.

Having a puppy for company seems...not bad, right?

Whether in a small courtyard in the old town or in the vast Peach Blossom Spring.

"Okay, give it to me!"

"Really?"

Although he uttered a question, his hands did not hesitate at all. Fu Jiaming quickly grabbed the back of its neck and shoved it into her arms.

"Since you've decided to keep it, then Su Ning, you should name it!"

"Then let's go with small circles."
