During this period, Gu Yuxuan had too many unknown curiosities about Ziyan, and there was often an inexplicable desire in her heart to discover more.
So she remained elegantly silent, determined to see just how capable this girl was and what strange treasures or peculiar things she could uncover.
Ziyan had initially brought back the He Shou Wu deliberately along with the vine leaves.
Therefore, she asked Ziying, and of course, Gu Yuxuan beside her, "Have you seen any of these vine leaves along the way? If you have, we should dig them up; they are treasures."
Then she looked at Ziying and Gu Yuxuan with seriousness and expectation.
The first to react was still Gu Yuxuan.
He replied cheerfully, "I know where there are some, and there are plenty in this forest. However, you can't go deep into it. How about I take you to get some that are nearby first?"
Ziying suddenly realized and slapped her forehead. "I was so focused on picking Shiitake mushrooms earlier that I completely forgot to look for other things, so—"
"No need for that," Ziyan quickly interrupted Ziying.
She thought: Time is money; it would be better to spend this time pulling up some He Shou Wu or searching for other good treasures.
With that in mind, Ziyan looked at Gu Yuxuan and said, "Lead the way!"
"Oh—okay, let's go!" Gu Yuxuan picked up Ziyan's backpack and turned to move forward.
Ziyan also gave her sister, who was standing there lost in thought, a couple of taps to urge her to pick up her backpack and follow.
She quickly grabbed a Bamboo Basket from the ground that only had one He Shou Wu in it and hurried after Gu Yuxuan.
With Gu Yuxuan leading the way, their harvest was extraordinary!
Before long, not only did they find a lot of He Shou Wu, but Gu Yuxuan also used his lightness skill to leap up into the trees and brought down several large beehives because that honey was also a good thing!
There is also Royal Jelly, which is a top-notch beauty product that can cleanse, soften, and protect blood vessels. If this were given to my grandmother, who has cardiovascular diseases, it would be very beneficial.
As for all the He Shou Wu discovered along the way, they were naturally pulled out by Ziyan and the others.
Additionally, they harvested more Matsutake. Matsutake is indeed a great thing; its flavor surpasses that of Shiitake and it grows in Pine Forests, although its yield is quite low.
Ziyan was filled with surprises.
In fact, from the first time she went up the mountain with her father, she discovered many useful medicinal herbs along the way. However, at that time, she had just woken up and knew that her father was aware she had never recognized any precious medicinal herbs.
So she dared not speak up and kept it buried deep within her heart.
She was just waiting for some time to pass to slowly find excuses to reveal them. By then, the whole family going up the mountain for Herb Gathering would be a path to wealth.
Today, she carefully discovered that the deeper they went into the mountains, the more good medicinal herbs there were.
Similarly, she still kept it hidden in her heart and did not fully disclose it to Ziying and Gu Yuxuan because it was not yet time.
However, standing next to Ziyan, Gu Yuxuan was secretly observing and savoring every change in Little Ziyan's expressions.
Only Ziying, who was a bit careless, did not notice anything.
...
Soon enough, even the Bamboo Basket that could hold thirty to forty pounds was completely full and could not fit anything else. The three of them decided to head down the mountain.
However, they had not gone far when something suddenly darted out from the bushes by the roadside.
The three of them focused their eyes and saw two plump white rabbits. Gu Yuxuan stepped forward and effortlessly caught one, tying its legs with a vine before tossing it to the ground.
But another fast-running white rabbit was about to dart into the bushes ahead, disappearing from sight. Gu Yuxuan picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over. With a "thud," the rabbit fell to the ground, motionless.
Ziyan ran over to take a look; the rabbit was dead, as the stone had struck it directly on the forehead.
So Ziyan grabbed one of the rabbit's legs and walked over to hand it to Gu Yuxuan.
Gu Yuxuan awkwardly glanced at Ziyan and then at the two baskets on the ground, his eyes conveying: I have to carry those two heavy items for you.
However, Ziyan, not one to back down, seemed to understand and approached Gu Yuxuan. She tugged at his belt and tucked the dead rabbit into his waist.
In an instant, a few drops of rabbit blood splattered onto Gu Yuxuan's clothing!
Ziying, watching from the side, was somewhat dumbfounded, thinking Gu Yuxuan would explode in anger.
After a moment, what came instead was Gu Yuxuan shaking his head helplessly, resignedly picking up the baskets from the ground and putting them back on.
With one hand grabbing the live rabbit that was tied up on the ground and the other hand holding the bamboo basket, he walked forward—
Seemingly carefree, Ziyan giggled and said, "This is called 'the capable work harder,' Brother Yuxuan is truly the most capable person!"
After saying this, she made a face at Ziying and Gu Yuxuan, then playfully dashed ahead of them.
Descending the mountain, Ziyan felt quite cheerful and carefree!
Looking at Gu Yuxuan ahead of her, who was carrying her basket on his back with his right hand holding a heavy bamboo basket and his left hand gripping a fat, lively white rabbit while another dead rabbit hung from his waist.
She couldn't help but think: this young man is really not bad; he’s not only skilled in martial arts but also very willing to help her.
Most importantly, every time she found herself in danger, he would always appear right on time.
Is this fate? Or is it something that heaven has arranged?
Then Ziyan thought to herself: Since there is such a connection, if I want to collect all the treasures in this great mountain, it seems I still have to rely on him.
Moreover, if I could learn a few self-defense techniques from him, that would be even more perfect.
Walking ahead, Gu Yuxuan suddenly felt an itch in his nostrils and then sneezed three times in quick succession: "Achoo, Achoo, Achoo."
Seeing this, Ziyan covered her mouth and snickered, while Gu Yuxuan immediately turned around to look at the two sisters.
He noticed Ziying trudging along with her head down, carrying a basket on her back, her face completely devoid of any expression, probably exhausted.
Behind her, Ziyan looked at him with an odd expression, blinking her eyes and smiling as if trying to charm him.
"What’s going on?"
Gu Yuxuan felt alert: based on what he had learned about this little girl during this time, her smile was definitely not that simple.
A brief moment of confusion flashed through the handsome youth's mind, and then he raised an eyebrow and stared at Ziyan.
Internally, he scoffed: "Even if you are Sun Wukong, you can't surpass my Tathagata Buddha's Five Finger Mountain. I'll be watching!"
With a dark chuckle, he glanced at Ziyan with his charming yet captivating eyes before turning back and striding down the mountain again.
He didn't notice that Gu Yuxuan also had a strange smile while looking at Ziyan, who remained carefree.
Leisurely, she reached out to pluck a blade of foxtail grass by the roadside and chewed on it while thinking to herself.
I must persuade this guy to become my guardian in the shortest time possible and get him to teach me more advanced martial arts.
Only then can I realize my ambitions and look forward to exploring every corner of this ancient world, creating something great for myself in this backward era of cold weapons.
Yes, I can definitely do it! With this thought, Ziyan felt her blood boiling and encouraged herself.
In this ancient era, where every industry and trade was severely underdeveloped and in need of upgrading, there were endless business opportunities here!
If I can't make a name for myself in this life, then I've wasted two lifetimes.
Ziyan felt increasingly excited and happy: the blueprint was beginning to take shape, just waiting for her to implement and realize it step by step---
……
Unknowingly, the three of them had already walked to a small river not far from Zheng Ziyan's home.
Suddenly, all three noticed a group of wild ducks on the shallow bank.
Wild ducks! At once, Ziyan's feet stopped moving.
She turned around and saw Ziyan with a greedy expression like a little cat.
Naturally, Gu Yuxuan set down everything he was carrying and leaped several times toward the wild ducks. When he returned, he had three plump grayish-white wild ducks in his hands.
Beside him, Ziyan couldn't help but exclaim: To have such a good friend in life is truly wonderful!
