Chapter 129 Changes
While this statement may seem absurd, upon closer examination, it does make some sense.

Of course, Shang Wan didn't agree with the idea of ​​"cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the body." She just felt that perhaps, like those with superpowers, the spiritual spring water was changing the three people's physiques day by day.

"I wonder if this change is temporary or permanent." Lu Chengjing clenched his left hand and then let go, secretly estimating for a moment, feeling that he could lift at least thirty round balls right now.

Shang Wan thought it was likely permanent, after all, she hadn't fed him those spiritual spring waters for nothing.

Xiao Huan asked worriedly, "Sister, do you think Master He and the others have noticed anything wrong with Xiao Baicai?"

"Probably not," Shang Wan said. "Even if they find out, we can say that we added some health-enhancing powder to the soup to improve our health."

"I want to go out and try finding a tree." Stone felt full of energy.

Shang Wan decisively stopped her, saying, "Trying it now would be too disruptive. Let's save our energy for clearing the land tomorrow."

Stone had no choice but to sit down dejectedly.

Shang Wan stood up and looked at Lu Chengjing, "You talk to them about the space, I'll go pick Yuanyuan up."

Lu Chengjing agreed, "Okay."

As dawn broke, the sky began to lighten, revealing a pale, fish-belly white hue.

Shang Wan wandered through the mountains and forests and found Yuan Yuan, who was holding a wolf cub and sleeping soundly against Little Grey, in a tree hole.

Outside the tree hollow, a group of animals lay sprawled out, sleeping as if they were dead.

If someone else went into the mountains now, they would definitely have a huge harvest.

As if sensing something, Yuan Yuan opened her eyes and glanced at them. After seeing that it was her mother, she closed her eyes again, smacked her lips, and started snoring again.

Clearly, all the excess energy has been released.

Shang picked up the little guy before going out that evening and checked him over carefully. Apart from being a little dirty, everything was fine.

She wasn't sure if her son's unusual behavior last night was due to drinking too much spiritual spring water or an upgrade in his supernatural abilities, so she planned to ask him more carefully after Yuanyuan woke up.

The four members of the He family slept soundly through the night, while Lu Chengjing and his companions barely slept at all, yet they felt more energetic than if they had slept for three days and three nights.

Xiao Huan felt she had a lot of energy but nowhere to use it, so she decided to chop filling to make steamed buns. Unexpectedly, she accidentally broke the cutting board.

Fortunately, she still had some logs left at home, so she picked up a saw and quickly cut off a piece for herself. She then rinsed off the wood chips with well water and made do with it.

Gao Yan, who was washing up by the well, was dumbfounded.

Is that wood made of tofu? How come it's so easy to saw?

Lu Chengjing, who was also washing up, quietly turned the wooden basin he had broken off a piece of over so that no one else would notice anything amiss. He was still in a wheelchair at the time.

Shi Tou tossed aside the shredded handkerchief and retrieved a new one from the bamboo pole. This time, he carefully used less force, otherwise he wouldn't have a handkerchief to wash his face.

Shang Wan thought that if this strength was a permanent increase, she should arrange strength control training for her family members as soon as possible, otherwise no matter how much she put in, it wouldn't be enough.

After breakfast, it's time to get back to work and get to work.

After holding back for so long, Stone couldn't wait any longer and carried his hoe to the field, swinging it around in a blur.

Xiao Huan squatted by the river, scrubbing the clothes with the precision of an embroiderer, afraid of turning the perfectly good clothes into shredded rags.

Lu Chengjing also encountered problems while practicing calligraphy. He would either break the pen or write illegible characters, which were even worse than when he first tried to write with his left hand.

He sighed softly, then simply put away his brush and ink, deciding not to practice calligraphy but to read books instead.

Shang Wan came over with a bamboo basket slung over her shoulder. "Want to go into the mountains to gather herbs?"

The herbs she and Shitou collected the day before yesterday have been processed and are now drying. They can collect some more and hunt a couple of small animals while they're at it.

“Okay.” Lu Chengjing readily agreed, put down his book, and let Shang Wan push him toward the mountains. Shang Wan handed him two sheets of paper, “The one on the left is a list of medicinal herbs that sell for a good price in pharmacies, and the one on the right is a list of herbs that Brother Yuan needs.”

Yuan Musheng's leg was injured, making it inconvenient for him to go up the mountain to collect herbs. Hearing that Shang Wan collected herbs on the mountain, processed them, and sold them in the city, he thought of asking Shang Wan to help him collect some herbs he needed, as long as they were fresh. He would process them himself and pay her according to the market price.

Considering his friendship with Lu Chengjing and the care he had usually given her family, Shang Wan naturally wouldn't accept his money. She simply said that she would use these herbs to offset Lu Chengjing's medicine and consultation fees.

Shang Wan called Lu Chengjing along for two reasons: first, she couldn't read all the words on the paper; second, even if she could read, she wouldn't recognize the herbs that hadn't been picked.

The two stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Shang Wan looked around and listened carefully before saying, "There's no one around."

Lu Chengjing then stood up from the wheelchair, watching as Shang Wan placed her hand on the wheelchair, and the wheelchair disappeared from the spot.

He blinked gently; no matter how many times he saw it, it still felt magical.

"Let's go." Shang Wan led him into the forest.

This was Lu Chengjing's first time going into the mountains with Shang Wan. Birds chirped all around them, and small animals would occasionally pop out from the bushes, only to dart back in and run away as soon as they saw the two of them.

Lu Chengjing glanced in that direction and asked疑惑地问道, "Aren't we going to chase after them?"

Shang Wan complained, "It's too small. Even after cleaning it, there's barely two ounces of meat left."

She spotted a patch of familiar mushrooms under a nearby tree, somewhat similar to the ones Xiao Huan had picked. Whether stir-fried or used in soup, they tasted delicious, and everyone loved them.

Since we've come across it, we should naturally take it back.

But many mushrooms look alike, and worried that she might be mistaken, she beckoned to Lu Chengjing, "Come and take a look, are these mushrooms poisonous?"

Lu Chengjing: ?

He squatted down and examined it carefully for a long time. Although he didn't want to disappoint Shang Wan, he still honestly said, "I don't recognize it."

He could identify some herbs, but as for mushrooms, he was helpless.

"Let's pick them first." Shang Wan made the decision. She recognized the two mushrooms; if they were poisonous, they simply wouldn't eat them.

She stored all the mushrooms in her spatial storage, and then led Lu Chengjing to the herb-gathering spots she and Shi Tou had found.

Noticing that the person next to her was breathing slightly faster, Shang Wan turned her head to look at them. "Tired?"

"I'm fine." Beads of sweat appeared on Lu Chengjing's forehead, and his pale cheeks gained a touch of color.

People who haven't walked in a long time, and then suddenly have to climb mountains, can really take a toll on their bodies.

A flash of white light appeared in Shang Wan's hand, revealing a bamboo tube filled with water. She handed it over, saying, "Here, rest for a while before you go."

The water is from a mountain spring, cool and slightly sweet.

Lu Chengjing took a couple of sips, looked up at the dense tree shadows above, exhaled softly, and a contented smile appeared in his eyes.

This was the first time he had climbed a mountain on his own two legs. Although he was tired, he was happy.

Shang Wan glanced at him sideways. Logically speaking, the spiritual spring water should be able to improve a person's physique. Now that even his strength has increased, Lu Chengjing's body shouldn't still be so weak.

As if knowing what Shang Wan was thinking, Lu Chengjing chuckled and said, "A weakness that comes from the womb is not so easy to cure."

He lowered his head, clenched his left hand and then let go, "It's much better now than before."

In the past, he couldn't even go into the mountains to collect herbs; he had to stay in bed for half the month to recover from his illness.

It's already good enough as it is now; we can't be too greedy.
