The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.
Chapter 130 is a problem.
Chapter 130 is a problem.
"You can't rush things when it comes to healing. As long as you get better every day, there will eventually be a cure." Shang Wan took the bamboo tube and drank the spring water inside in one gulp.
A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling the soft strands of hair behind her, and lightly brushing against Lu Chengjing's outstretched palm.
He instinctively grasped the strand of hair, as if he were holding onto the passing wind.
The sunlight shone on his jet-black hair, giving it a warm glow.
Shang Wan leaned against his shoulder, her tone somewhat lazy, "We've almost finished gathering the herbs. Can you tell me what else Brother Yuan needs?"
Lu Chengjing adjusted her posture slightly to make her more comfortable, unfolded the paper, and gently read out the names of the herbs.
None of the others are particularly noteworthy, except for one herb that is rather unusual.
"Cliff ginger?" Shang Wan guessed based on the herb's name. "This thing doesn't grow on cliffs, does it?"
Lu Chengjing nodded, “Cliff ginger, also known as bone drynaria, usually grows on cliffs and has a remarkable effect on treating sprains and bruises and rheumatic bone pain.”
Yuan Musheng also knew that this herb was not easy to collect, so he specially noted on the paper that safety should come first. If you can collect it, then do so. If the location is too difficult to pick, don't force it.
Scaling walls and leaping across rooftops was nothing to Shang Wan, but the problem was that she didn't know what this cliff ginger looked like.
You can't exactly take Lu Chengjing with you as you leap across rooftops, can you?
Well... it's not impossible.
“The leaves of the cliff ginger are feathery.” Lu Chengjing held a branch in his left hand and drew it on the ground for Shang Wan to see. “The rhizome is very similar to that of ginger.”
Shang Wan carefully noted it down and pulled Lu Chengjing straight to the nearest cliff.
A patch of small white flowers blooms on the cliff, swaying in the gentle breeze. Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, you can see a thin layer of mist, and vaguely make out the lush vegetation and clear pool of water in the valley below.
Of course, ordinary people can't see that far, but Shang Wan's eyesight is exceptional.
Seeing Shang Wan about to jump off the cliff with a bamboo basket slung over her shoulder, Lu Chengjing's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly reminded her, "Be careful, there are many poisonous snakes and insects on the cliff face."
Shang Wan gave him a reassuring gesture, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and leaped down.
Even though he knew Shang Wan would be alright, Lu Chengjing's heart still skipped a beat, and he hurriedly leaned halfway out to look down the cliff.
Shang Wan wore a smoky pink long dress today, making her quite easy to spot amidst the lush greenery.
From Lu Chengjing's perspective, the person below looked like a strange flower blooming on a green vine, moving lightly and nimbly, like a mountain spirit.
As his heartbeat gradually returned to normal, Lu Chengjing simply sat on the edge of the cliff, his legs dangling naturally, quietly watching Shang Wan's every move.
"Look at this." Shang Wan stepped on the thick, horizontal vines and threw a plant covered in mud upwards without looking up. It landed right next to Lu Chengjing.
Lu Chengjing picked it up and examined it closely. The leaves were like feathers, the rootstock was like ginger, and it smelled slightly bitter. It was definitely cliff ginger.
He replied, "It's cliff ginger."
"This area is huge." Shang Wan glanced at the cliff face in front of her and asked, "Do pharmacies accept this stuff?"
If she's harvesting, she'll pick more.
Lu Chengjing said, "When harvesting, the roots and stems must be dug out intact."
"Okay." Shang Wan agreed and began harvesting.
Wherever his palm passed, flashes of white light appeared. Without even needing a hoe, he collected everything, leaves and roots alike, into his spatial storage.
Of course, she also understands the principle of sustainable harvesting, only picking those cliff ginger plants that look old, leaving the small plants and seedlings to continue growing.
She also poured a few drops of spiritual spring water into the area to accelerate their growth.
Just as I was about to head back, feeling that it was about time, I suddenly heard a faint sound beside my ear.
It sounds like a human voice.
There was only one sound, mixed in with the sound of the wind, making it difficult to determine its location.
She turned her head to look around, and then another faint groan reached her ears. Shang Wan immediately pinpointed the source of the sound: the tree that was leaning out to the side below.
She grabbed the vines and leaped, her body plummeting rapidly. Her smoky pink skirt billowed like clouds, a beautiful sight, but it nearly made Lu Chengjing's heart leap out of his chest.
"Miss!"
"It's alright." Shang Wan landed precisely on the tree trunk, waved upwards, and indicated that there was no need to worry.
A faint groan of pain came from the dense canopy of trees again, and Shang Wan confirmed that there was a person inside.
The scent of living creatures attracted not only Shang Wan, but also venomous snakes.
Disturbed from its hunt, the venomous snake hissed, flicking its tongue and raising its triangular head in a show of defiance towards Shang Wan.
You can't eat a poisonous snake. It's such a big one, what a waste.
Shang Wan flicked his finger and threw a stone, sending the poisonous snake flying.
The long, tattooed body fell uncontrollably into the valley below.
Shang Wan then crawled into the tree canopy, and after seeing the injured person clearly, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.
How come there's a child here?
The child, about five or six years old, was hanging from a swaying tree branch with his eyes closed, his little face so dirty that his features were obscured.
The groans Shang Wan heard were actually the babbling of a child.
She secretly marveled at the child's good fortune, then stepped over the tree branches and carried the child down.
The child's clothes were torn, and his body was burning hot, as if he were running a high fever.
Shang Wan fed him two drops of spiritual spring water and was about to carry him upstairs when she suddenly noticed a light blue, blood-stained purse hanging on a small branch.
It's probably a child's thing.
She picked it up casually, held the child in her arms, and with a few quick taps on the cliff face, leaped up and landed next to Lu Chengjing.
Lu Chengjing asked in surprise, "Who is this child?"
"I don't know." Shang Wan shrugged. "It might be lost somewhere. Let's take it back first."
Lu Chengjing lowered his eyes to examine the child that Shang Wan was holding in her arms.
The child was filthy, with a chubby face and arms. His clothes were unrecognizable in their original color and torn in many places, but the material was of good quality, clearly not something a farmer could afford.
This child is definitely not from the village.
He looked at Shang Wan and said bluntly, "This child might be a problem."
Children from wealthy families are usually accompanied by servants and attendants when they go out. If a child like this is left unattended, it is likely that he has encountered a major misfortune.
Shang Wan understood what Lu Chengjing was worried about, but if they hadn't run into each other, that would have been fine, but if they had, she couldn't just abandon the child; after all, it was a life.
She said, "We'll talk about whether it's troublesome later."
If it really is a big problem, we can either save it or kill it; Shang Wan was very open-minded.
Lu Chengjing knew that his wife was a soft-hearted person. He had already reminded her, but Shang Wan was still determined to save her, so he stopped trying to persuade her and reached out to take the bamboo basket that Shang Wan was carrying on her shoulder.
The bamboo basket contained two plump wild rabbits, and the herbs were all in Shang Wan's space, so they weren't heavy.
She would let Lu Chengjing carry Shang Wan if he wanted to; she could simply take over when he couldn't carry her anymore.
Carrying a child didn't slow Shang Wan down, and besides, going downhill was always faster than going uphill.
They almost ran into some villagers along the way, so Shang Wan led Lu Chengjing to avoid them to avoid having to explain to people how Lu Chengjing, who was in a wheelchair, managed to get into the mountains.
When they reached the foot of the mountain and found themselves alone, Shang Wan took out a wheelchair from her spatial storage, and Lu Chengjing, carrying a bamboo basket, sat down on it.
