Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

Xia An looked at the wild boar's den in the distance, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

But outside the wild boar's den, the boar lay there, warily watching its surroundings.

It would occasionally swallow a mouthful of wild grass nearby, seemingly trying to regain its strength.

And not far away,

A black bear lay there, its eyes fixed on the six wolves surrounding the wild boar.

The six wolves circled the wild boar, their gleaming green eyes fixed on the boar's bleeding wound, baring their teeth.

They would occasionally dart forward a couple of steps, taking turns harassing the wild boar, biting its hind legs or its belly.

But each time they heard the black bear's roar, they quickly retreated.

Xia An continued to rotate his sniper rifle, scanning the area around the wild boar's den.

Many crows either flew in the trees or circled in the air, but dared not land.

not far away,

He also saw two reddish-brown foxes crouching behind the bushes, their eyes fixed on the direction of the wild boar.

As for whether there are other hunters lurking in the shadows, Xia An hasn't seen any yet.

"Sure enough, I should have thought of the survival of the fittest in these mountains and forests."

He shook his head.

If a wild boar is injured, how could other carnivores not come to hunt it?

"You're late."

"It might have been better if we came last night, but today we can only watch the show."

Xia An shook his head and chuckled softly.

Immediately, he sat down on a tree branch and leaned leisurely against the tree.

Through the sniper rifle scope, he could see what was happening in the distance.

He planned to watch the wild boars die down before leaving to continue his search for rare medicinal herbs.

As for the prey, it depends on the situation.

He did have his eye on the black bear, but now was not the right time.

After all, there are plenty of wolves around, and they're not exactly easy prey, so there's no need to waste bullets.

Let's leave this black bear for now and see if we encounter it again later.

As Xia An pondered this, he continued to look in that direction through the scope.

as time flows,

But no surprises occurred.

Despite its fury, the wild boar was eventually brought to its knees by the harassment and attacks of the wolves.

Seeing that it had stopped breathing, the black bear roared angrily and ran forward, patting its chest.

The wolves scattered and ran to a safe distance.

Those emerald green eyes were fixed on the black bear, or rather, on the wild boar meat.

But faced with a black bear, they dared not approach rashly and could only wait anxiously.

The black bears obviously couldn't finish the wild boar; they could at least get a share.

The red fox behind the bushes, the crows in mid-air, and others are all waiting to get a piece of the pie.

Seeing this, Xia An shrugged, climbed down the tree, and quickly left.

To be precise, it's far away from here.

Since there were black bears and six wolves around, and he didn't want to waste bullets killing the wolves, it was best to stay as far away as possible.

Xia An walked through the forest for a short while, then suddenly a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Finally, I see ginseng again."

He was about to step forward when he suddenly sensed danger, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He scanned his surroundings and quickly located the source of the danger.

Beside the ginseng, under the rotten wood, a small earthworm (Ussuri viper) gently flicked its tongue.

A highly venomous snake!

This was the second time he had encountered this kind of venomous snake since arriving in Anping Village.

This is the peak activity period for snakes, and he has encountered snakes quite a few times in the past few days while hiking in the mountains.

Every time they meet, he will take the initiative to avoid them and not provoke them.

It's not that we can't afford to offend them, it's just that there's no need to.

It tastes bad and is poisonous, it's a real hassle, why bother with it?

Even if he has the spiritual spring space and can be fearless, there is no need for him to be.

Of course, if you come across a brown-black rat snake with good quality meat and no venom, you can consider buying it.

Unfortunately, he hadn't encountered a single brown-black rat snake in all the days he'd been there.

Xia An shook her head slightly, this time not actively avoiding the dirty thing.

The burial mound was right next to the ginseng; he had to be within three meters of it to harvest the ginseng.

but,

This creature is rather lazy; it won't attack unless you get within a meter of it.

Not to mention actively chasing and biting people, which is perfect since Xia An doesn't need to get that close.

Three meters is enough!

Xia An carefully walked up, her gaze shifting between the burlap stalks and the ginseng.

Even though he knew it wouldn't attack him on its own, he remained constantly on guard.

If you get bitten, you can use the spiritual spring water to detoxify, but it will still hurt!

quickly,

Once within three meters of the ginseng, Xia An directly moved his mind and stored the ginseng in his space, then planted it in the medicinal field.

Immediately, he looked at the earthen ball, slowly took a few steps back, and then turned and left.

"Having space is convenient!"

Xia An looked at the ginseng in the space and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

If it weren't for this spiritual spring space, he would have had to break open that ball of earth before he could carefully dig up the ginseng.

Digging for ginseng is quite a waste of time.

"This ginseng seems to be only a little over ten years old, let's keep it planted."

"But the previous ginseng..."

Xia An muttered to himself, then a wisp of his consciousness landed in the spiritual spring space.

Six days in the Spirit Spring Space is equivalent to more than two months in the outside world.

It's early July now; ginseng seeds typically mature and fall to the ground in August or September.

At this time, six days had passed in the space, and the seeds of the previous ginseng plant had matured and fallen to the ground.

"Since Uncle Xie is already protecting me, it's fine to give this ginseng to Luo Yue."

Xia An shook his head and chuckled softly.

With the spiritual spring space, he could have as much ginseng as he wanted for the next twenty years.

Even a hundred years old is not impossible, so it doesn't matter if it's just one tree.

As for selling it for money

Is he short of money?

What he lacks is human kindness!

What he lacks is the kindness of having someone cover for him when he encounters trouble.

It is the kindness of someone who will solve his troubles when he encounters them.

Fortunately, the clan culture in Anping Village is excellent, which suits him perfectly.

Xia An shook his head slightly and continued walking through the mountains and forests, not thinking about it anymore.

……

Pine Forest Commune,

After examining the prescription, Old Zheng looked at it in his hand, shook his head, and chuckled softly:

"You guys are really lucky to have run into Xia, the educated youth."

"If what you're saying is true, with cerebral edema and such, even if they're brought here, it can only be alleviated; they'll still need to be sent to the county seat."

"Not to mention, they were most likely already dead on the way here."

"Alright, this prescription is the most suitable one for him, taking into account his entire condition."

"Go and get the medicine according to this prescription."

Upon hearing this, Li Fugui was somewhat surprised.

"Mr. Zheng, from what you're saying, it seems you really admire Xia, the educated youth?"

Old Zheng shook his head and chuckled, "His medical skills are superior to mine. Last time he saved someone suffering an acute myocardial infarction here."

"Those symptoms could only be treated with Western medicine in the county town, but he cured them with acupuncture. How could you not praise him?"

"If he hadn't refused, he would have been transferred to the commune health center long ago."

Hearing this, Li Fugui was deeply shocked and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

beside,

Li Qingshan, who was lying down, was equally surprised. He never expected that he had actually walked back from the brink of death.

Unfortunately, he hadn't met his savior yet.

Old Zheng shook his head and smiled. "Alright, take the medicine and go home to rest. It won't be of much use here for his condition."

"Remember, don't touch anything listed as contraindicated on the prescription, or you'll bear the consequences."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the ward.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zheng!"

Li Fugui quickly replied respectfully.

outside the door,

A teenager glanced at him and led two young men in military uniforms into Dr. Zheng's clinic.
