The first ray of sunlight pierced through the shade of the trees and fell on Ye Chen's cheek.

Ye Chen opened his eyes, rolled over, untied the rope, and jumped down from the tree.

"It's about time. That beast should be resting in its den by now."

"The morning dew has evaporated, and the temperature has risen. That beast is afraid of the heat, so it probably won't come out before dark!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ye Chen proceeded with his previous plan.

After tidying up his belongings, he headed towards the mountainside in front of him.

Soon, Ye Chen followed his memories from his previous life.

Beside a pine tree that takes two people to encircle, dig away the dead branches and rotten leaves.

The decay is swept away, and the essence of sediment comes into view.

A wild ginseng, about the thickness of a forearm, sprouted from the soil and suddenly forked at waist height.

It looked like a big, chubby baby with two heads.

"Twin ginseng, I've seen it again!"

Ye Chen clenched his fist excitedly, but did not act impulsively. He took out the red string he had prepared in advance from his pocket.

The ginseng was wrapped around its entire body before being gently pulled.

Harvesting ginseng is an exhausting task, and you need to be especially careful not to break the tiny ginseng rootlets!

The slightest mistake could cause prices to plummet.

Even though Ye Chen had lived two lives, he didn't dare to act recklessly at this moment, stopping every now and then to wipe the sweat off his clothes.

Only then did they pull the red line again and carefully clean the ginseng roots buried in the soil.

For a moment, the old forest was completely silent.

All he could hear was Ye Chen's heavy breathing.

Suddenly, a soft sound came from the bushes behind Ye Chen.

"rustle……"

The sound of leaves rustling together made Ye Chen tense.

He quickly stopped what he was doing, rolled over, and turned to look at the bushes.

A huge black shadow slowly appeared, accompanied by the trembling of the grass and trees.

Ye Chen saw the figure's face clearly and held his breath.

Wolf King!

It was that beast!

Its size, even larger than a calf, gave Ye Chen a heavy sense of oppression.

His pale yellow eyes revealed a cold indifference to life.

The moment their eyes met, Ye Chen felt a chill run through his body, as if he were being stared at by the Grim Reaper!

"This wolf king is even bigger than the villagers said in my previous life!"

"But thankfully... this beast shouldn't hurt me."

Ye Chen dared not move, his whole body tense, trying his best to suppress his throbbing nerves.

In sight, the wolf king was carrying a dead wild boar cub.

The wild boar's torso dragged on the ground, leaving a trail of blood as it followed the wolf king's footsteps.

There are three things you should never mess with in the deep mountains.

Wild boars, black bears, and tigers!

These wild boars, weighing hundreds of kilograms, huddle together for warmth and charge like heavy tanks.

But this wolf king was extremely fierce, daring to attack a wild boar.

This alone is enough to show its wildness!

For a moment, time seemed to stand still. Ye Chen lowered his head and stared intently at the wolf king's body.

Until the beast crossed the clearing and disappeared back into the bushes.

Ye Chen then collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

His back was soaked with cold sweat.

"I was really lucky just now. The wolf king was with its prey, which is why it didn't attack me."

"Damn it, this beast is huge and so ferocious, even a hunting rifle might not be able to seriously injure it!"

The hunting rifle that Ye Chen's family kept was passed down from his grandfather's generation.

It belongs to the kind of purely manual, obsolete product that is filled with gunpowder projectiles.

Based on the danger just now, Ye Chen had no doubt that even if he made a move, he wouldn't be able to harm the Wolf King with a single shot!

In the time it takes to reload its ammunition, the wolf king could easily kill itself.

If it weren't for God's blessing, I might not have survived today!

"It seems that even for transmigrators who possess memories of their past lives, things may not always go smoothly!"

"Everything is subject to change. When you go into the mountains again, you must not be careless, or one day you'll find yourself capsizing in a ditch!"

In the past, Ye Chen only felt that he could rely on his experience and skills accumulated in his previous life, combined with his understanding of the old forest.

Even in the face of immense danger, they can overcome it safely.

But today, the wolf king's ferocity completely shattered Ye Chen's blind confidence.

This made him abandon his complacency and become more vigilant.

"Although my life was smooth sailing in my past life, some things must have changed with my rebirth. Just like now, I had never seen the Wolf King in my past life, yet today I brushed shoulders with death!"

"From now on, no matter what happens, you must always be careful."

"Memories of past lives are useful, but we can't rely on them alone. Caution is paramount; we must remain vigilant!"

Leaning against the tree roots, Ye Chen clenched his fist.

Deep down, he made up his mind and gave himself a warning.

Looking back, it was clear that most of the twin ginseng had been cleared away, leaving only three or five roots still buried in the soil.

Ye Chen didn't dare to waste any time and quickly sped up his work.

After digging out the ginseng, they quickly left the mountainside.

They dared not linger for even a moment, for fear that the wolf king would reappear!

……

Meanwhile, at Ye Chen's home.

Qian Jiali and Luo Ling each carried a cloth bag and walked out of their house.

Yesterday, Qian Jiali used her experience to prepare all the medicinal herbs.

After discussing it with my sisters, we've decided to do some takeout today.

"Xiaohui, you stay home and keep an eye on the door!"

"When the two of us come back, we'll definitely make a lot of money. Then we won't have to put up with that good-for-nothing anymore, and we can live on our own."

Qian Jiali gave Tian Xiaohui some instructions.

Tian Xiaohui nodded listlessly, her heart filled with worry.

Ever since she learned yesterday that Ye Chen had entered the old forest, Tian Xiaohui has been feeling uneasy.

A day has passed. Could Ye Chen still be in the woods and not have come out yet?

Will he run into any trouble?

For the entire morning, Tian Xiaohui was constantly worried about Ye Chen's safety.

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became.

In her mind, Tian Xiaohui subconsciously recalled the sincere promise Ye Chen made on their first night of marriage.

"Xiaohui, from today onwards, you are my woman."

"Don't worry, I promise I won't treat you unfairly. Once I've saved up enough money, I'll definitely send you to university!"

Over the years, Tian Xiaohui has never abandoned him.

His only thought was Ye Chen's promise from back then!

In Tian Xiaohui's heart, university was a dream she had always kept buried deep inside!

My family favored boys over girls, forcing me to give up my studies.

Tian Xiaohui left home with a grudge in her heart.

What does it mean that women can never be as good as men?

What does it mean that even if you study it, it's all for nothing, and you'll still have to get married in the future?

I, Tian Xiaohui, will prove one thing sooner or later: women can succeed through education!

They can also carve out their own niche!

"Ye Chen, if something really happens to you... I'm afraid my dream will truly be shattered."

Taking a deep breath, Tian Xiaohui leaned weakly against the wall and murmured something.

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Tian, ​​you look so distracted, are you thinking about a man?"
