Chapter 87 Searching
"Pig's blood mixed with glutinous rice is stuffed into sausages, smoked with pine and cypress leaves, then sliced ​​and stewed or stir-fried with meat... Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!"

Is this a way to cook food?

Having all the materials, Suning secretly noted down what she said and prepared to try it out back in her space.

While they were discussing this, the butchers on both sides had already washed and scalded themselves with hot water, and then began to butcher the pigs.

The women in each household, who were quick and skilled at their work, had also set up temporary stoves and large pots.

Even the scorching sun, making people sweat profusely, couldn't stop everyone's desire to eat meat.

As Su Ning mingled in the crowd, experiencing for the first time the intense emotions emanating from everyone around her, she couldn't help but smile.

……

After a lively pig-killing feast, Luo Shuangshuang, who had eaten too much and was completely unable to move, had to give up her idea of ​​catching crabs and looked at her with a pitiful expression.

"Alright, alright, I'll go catch some for you. I promise you'll get a bowl of fried crab for dinner, okay?"

If all else fails, she can simply smuggle a full bamboo basket from her spatial storage so that this greedy girl can eat her fill.

"I knew Ning Baogai was the absolute best!"

Luo Shuangshuang blinked her bright eyes, shaking the hand she was holding, "Then I'll go with you..."

"No, I'm afraid you'll throw up after just a couple of steps!"

She was shaken to the point of collapse, but Su Ning quickly broke free of his hand. "I already know the location. It's safe and not far from the end of the village. Don't worry, go back and rest for a while. I'll be back as soon as I catch them."

"You really won't let me come with you?"

"No need, go ahead, go ahead. Seeing you like this makes me feel uncomfortable. Go back and lie down."

"Alright then, if you don't catch Ning Baogai, that's fine, but you have to be back before dinner!"

After eating two lunches in a row, Luo Shuangshuang was still unable to control her appetite and felt really full. Seeing that she was serious, she thought that there was no danger over the stream, so she obediently went home first.

There are definitely many people like her who eat until they are stuffed. Usually, most families just eat porridge and sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs. It's rare to have meat, and even if every household has just eaten, there will definitely be someone who stuffs their stomach to the brim.

Along the way, I saw people either holding their bellies or walking slowly with their backs bent.

The smile in his eyes never faded until he walked out of the village and looked at the two mountain paths, at which point Su Ning composed himself.

Without much hesitation, I stepped onto the road leading into Baoshan.

There are many traces of human activity on the two outer hills, from the foot of the hills all the way to the middle of the hills.

It's clear that villagers often come here to collect firewood, gather dry fir leaves to use as kindling, and search for mushrooms, fungi, and other fungi after rain.

Holding a Swiss Army knife in one hand and a thick tree branch he had picked up in the other, he gradually moved away from the area where the villagers frequented.

Fortunately, neither of the two connected mountains is very high. The path on the mountaintop is a bit difficult, but so far we haven't encountered anything dangerous.

……

We arrived safely at the foot of Baoshan Mountain. The sun had already completely disappeared behind the mountain, and the clouds and mist halfway up the mountain were gradually moving downwards.

Apart from the whistling wind, the only sounds in the silent mountain forest were the calls of unknown birds.

Even the bravest person wouldn't have considered actually climbing Baoshan Mountain alone. Su Ning glanced at the watch on her wrist and decided to wander around here for an hour.

After carefully recalling the growing environment of precious medicinal herbs such as wild ginseng, I began to search for them in carefully selected locations.

Using the stick in his hand as a guide, he tapped the surrounding grass and carefully made his way forward.

Whether she was incredibly lucky to encounter a rat snake after wandering around for so long, or incredibly unlucky and couldn't find a single wild ginseng or even a common medicinal herb, she didn't know.

Just as she was about to give up and go back, she tripped over a vine, barely managed to steady herself, and then lost her footing and flew straight out.

Always remembering that he had a safety net, he slipped into it the instant his body was airborne.

Landing steadily in the small courtyard, Su Ning patted her startled heart and was about to cheer herself up before going out again when she suddenly remembered something and stopped abruptly.

If she goes out like that, is she still suspended in mid-air?

The experiment proved that it was indeed as she thought: you come in one place and you come out the same place!

Holding her breath, Su Ning began her journey in and out, only stopping the fleeting, dizzying teleportation when she landed safely.

Looking down from above, it was a bottomless ravine, but underground, it was a completely different world. Avoiding the thorny bushes that grew haphazardly along the mountainside overhead, she gripped a vine thicker than her arm and slowly made her way to a relatively safe clearing.

The surrounding area was covered with large patches of decaying leaves, with not a single speck of soil visible underneath.

A plant with seven or eight leaves and small red fruits on top caught her eye in the distance.

"There really are wild ginseng!"

To my delight, I approached it, only to discover that there was more than one plant with small red fruits!
Instead, it was one, two, three, four, five—a full five plants!
He immediately knelt down, took out a red rope from his spatial storage, tied it to the top of the largest plant, and carefully used the knife in his hand to dig up the soil around it.

She accidentally broke several roots on her first attempt, and Su Ning put her hands together in a gesture of apology, saying with a guilty look, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

It wasn't that she was superstitious; it was just that the wild ginseng she had dug up looked too human-like, and breaking its arms and legs really made her feel... guilty.

Fortunately, the land was unique, and she managed to dig out even the broken tendrils.

After she dug out all the ginseng, most of her body began to stiffen and go numb. It took her a while to recover before she managed to slip into the space along with the ginseng and its broken tendrils.

Originally, I intended to plant them in the orchard, but somehow they ended up being transplanted to the side of the spring.

When the largest human-shaped ginseng was finally buried in the soil and watered with a handful of spring water, the entire Peach Blossom Spring seemed to tremble inexplicably.

That feeling was very brief, lasting only a second, but Suning was certain that he hadn't misperceived it!
"what happened?"

He stood up with a look of surprise on his face, ignoring the mud on his clothes, and quickly checked every part of his body.

She thoroughly inspected the orchard, farmland, vegetable garden, stream, and courtyard, but found nothing different or changed.

"strangeness…"

The tremor just now seemed to be related to that human-shaped ginseng.

I squatted down by the spring again and watered the ginseng. The ginseng plants looked more vibrant after that, but they didn't get fatter or bigger.
His gaze inadvertently swept over the spring, and he suddenly stood up and took a few steps to walk to the spring.

The once crystal-clear spring water now looked like... a thick rice soup.
He reached out and stirred the water, then hesitantly scooped up a small handful and brought it to his mouth, licking it with the tip of his tongue.

It remained sweet but had no other flavor.

After drinking the spring water in my hand, all the fatigue from walking and climbing mountains for a day immediately disappeared, and even the soreness in my feet vanished instantly.

A second experiment was conducted with a knife to inflict injury, and the results were not significantly different from the first one.

"strangeness!"

The appearance of this spring has clearly changed; according to the storybook, shouldn't it have undergone a leap forward?
Is there something I've overlooked?
Unconsciously gazing at the spring, he frowned and pondered deeply. "That's it!"

There were also jadeite rough stones that suddenly appeared at the bottom of the spring!
With a start, Su Ning plunged his entire hand into the spring water and casually pulled out a pill.

The previous jadeite rough stones looked beautiful, but they were nowhere near as good as this one in my hand, which was so translucent and lustrous that it was mesmerizing.

She counted that the jadeite rough stones at the bottom of the spring had seven colors: red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, purple, and black.

The one I have in my hand now is blue. I unconsciously rub its smooth surface, and the delicate touch is just like a baby's skin.

Huh?
Su Ning's pupils dilated suddenly. He picked up the jade with his other hand and brought the hand that had been rubbing it to his eyes.

Several experiments were conducted, and although the spring water healed the wound, it still left behind some barely noticeable scars.

Now all the scars left on my fingertips have completely disappeared!

Does this blue jade have a scar-removing effect?

Unbelievable, but the facts are undeniable—

He went into the bedroom, took off his clothes, and rubbed his back with a piece of blue jade.

The scars left from being pricked by pebbles have all disappeared, leaving only a smooth, white surface.

"I... need to calm down."

Taking a deep breath, still feeling a bit dizzy, Su Ning got dressed and plopped down on the bed.

What exactly is the family heirloom left by my grandmother?
Why is it getting increasingly bizarre?

Blue jadeite rough can remove scars, but what about rough stones of other colors...?
