The sun began to set again.
The group from the small mountain village found an open space to stop, and the villagers started setting up camp, while the children gathered in groups of three or five to play.
Jiang Wan called her parents to go into the mountains again.
With a pregnant woman in the family, they would have to pay more attention to food from now on, and also prepare medicinal herbs.
There were still quite a few wild vegetables and rabbits from yesterday, so Jiang Wan planned to get some fruit for Mrs. Su today, and then look for medicinal herbs.
Jiang Wan didn't recognize any of the plants here and had to rely on her parents for guidance. There weren't many good fruit trees in the mountains, and even fewer edible fruits at this time of year.
After finally finding a wild apple tree that was almost dead, with only a few sparse yellow leaves, Chen Yuezhi was very excited: "Wan Wan, this is a wild apple. This fruit is delicious, and it's very good for you to eat."
As soon as Jiang Wan heard this, she immediately summoned the 'old immortal' and after some 'divine powers', the tree was covered with wild apples of various sizes.
Jiang Pan climbed the tree and only picked the large ones, leaving the small ones.
"These are for the villagers to pick."
Jiang Wan had no objections. She had also realized that when acting here, she couldn't completely apply the rules from the apocalypse. If their family ate meat, they had to leave some soup for others, so as not to be rejected by the villagers.
Moreover, with her supernatural abilities, she could get as much of these things as she wanted.
Being able to indirectly provide a way out for others with her abilities was also a rather good thing.
Chen Yuezhi put the picked fruits into a cloth bag, and the family started searching in the forest again.
There were quite a few medicinal herbs on these mountains, but they were all common things. Chen Yuezhi didn't complain and picked some useful items.
Jiang Wan felt that picking these things was not very useful. Their family only had two carriages, and space was limited, so if they were to collect herbs, they should naturally collect those with high value.
So she asked Little Pony to scout ahead, while she led her family to follow.
Although Little Pony was just a small bird, animals knew about good things no less than humans.
Soon, led by Little Pony, Jiang Wan's family ventured into a dense forest.
Little Pony had already scouted ahead and confirmed that there were no large wild beasts in this forest, so they could act with peace of mind.
This dense forest should not have been visited by many people before, so there was a lot of vegetation inside, but most of it had already withered.
But this was enough to excite Chen Yuezhi, as she had already found many good medicinal herbs.
Jiang Wan helped inject vitality into the medicinal herbs that Chen Yuezhi fancied with her abilities, further enhancing their quality.
Chen Yuezhi dug with great joy, and Jiang Pan happily helped. Jiang Wan had no interest in digging in the mud, so she sat aside and waited.
As a result, Little Pony stood on her shoulder and chirped incessantly, signaling her to move forward.
Seeing that her parents were busy digging for herbs and couldn't attend to her for a while, Jiang Wan didn't say anything and followed Little Pony's guidance forward.
As she walked, she reached the depths of the dense forest. Jiang Wan found that it was quite humid inside, and the soil on the ground was moist. Most of the vegetation also remained vibrant, but it was already late autumn, and not many plants were left in the forest.
Little Pony stopped on a tree and chirped non-stop, signaling Jiang Wan that there was something good under the tree.
Jiang Wan was half-believing, half-doubting. Could Little Pony know about good things buried underground?
However, she still used her remaining supernatural abilities to 'look' down the tree trunk. She saw a white, fleshy thing buried under the tree.
When she poked it with her ability, the thing actually moved?
Was it meat?
But why would meat be buried underground? Wouldn't it rot?
She didn't recognize this thing, so she quickly called out loudly: "Dad, Mom, come quickly!"
Jiang Pan and Chen Yuezhi heard her call and hurried over: "Wan Wan, what's wrong?"
Jiang Wan pointed under the tree: "There's something down here."
Without a word, Jiang Pan started digging with the firewood axe he was holding.
After digging for a while, the white, fleshy thing was exposed. Jiang Pan looked at it from all angles but couldn't recognize what it was. He poked it with his hand: "My heavens, why is this thing so fleshy?"
Chen Yuezhi's eyes widened, and she began to stutter: "Husband, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Jiang Pan said: "If you don't believe me, come and feel it yourself. It's cool and fleshy. I've never seen this thing before."
Chen Yuezhi said urgently: "It's getting dark, don't dawdle, dig it out quickly!"
Jiang Pan looked at her: "Is this thing very important?"
Chen Yuezhi nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, this thing is very valuable, more valuable than ginseng. Be careful, don't dig it and break it."
When Jiang Wan heard that this thing was very valuable, she quickly said: "Then wait a moment, let the old immortal use his divine powers to make it bigger!"
"Good idea! My daughter has the best brain."
Jiang Pan quickly picked up Jiang Wan so she could touch the white, fleshy thing.
Jiang Wan rubbed her hands and pressed one paw onto the thing. Immediately, the cool, fleshy sensation made her skin crawl.
What on earth was this thing!
But since Mom said it was valuable, it must be a treasure. Let's make it bigger first!
She poured all her remaining supernatural abilities into the white lump, but it didn't grow much bigger; there was almost no visible change.
This...
It was a bit awkward.
Jiang Pan rubbed his eyes: "Wan Wan, why is there no movement?"
Jiang Wan coughed dryly: "The old immortal suddenly had something to attend to and left. Dad, you should dig out the thing first."
Most of her supernatural abilities had been used up before, and coupled with the fact that this thing was truly unusual, the remaining abilities had little effect.
Jiang Pan had no doubt about the existence and abilities of the 'old immortal', so he didn't ask any more questions and continued to dig.
Before it got completely dark, Jiang Pan dug out the white, fleshy thing.
The father and daughter studied it for a long time in the fading light, "What on earth is this thing?"
The thing was as large as a washbasin, irregularly shaped, a white mass, with a layer of sticky substance on its surface.
Chen Yuezhi confirmed it for a while, then swallowed hard, clutching her chest and said: "Husband, have you ever heard of Tai Sui?"
Jiang Pan gasped: "You mean this thing is... is... Tai... Tai Sui?"
Chen Yuezhi nodded heavily: "I can confirm, it is Tai Sui! Husband, our family is rich!"
Jiang Pan felt a buzzing sound in his head, and the scene before his eyes seemed to sway.
This wealth came too suddenly; how could he bear it?
Jiang Wan was the most calm: "Dad, Mom, since this thing is so valuable, shouldn't we quickly wrap it up and not let anyone know?"
"Yes, yes, quickly wrap it up!"
Jiang Pan quickly took out another spare bag and put the Tai Sui in it.
The Tai Sui weighed about five pounds, and it was heavy in his hand.
On the way back, the couple walked as if floating, feeling as if every step was on cotton, and they felt as if they were in a dream.
This feeling of a sudden windfall falling directly into their laps was too exhilarating!
Seeing them like this, Jiang Wan quickly reminded them: "Dad, Mom, if you go back like this, people will definitely notice something is wrong. You need to calm down quickly and don't look like you've never seen the world before, okay?"
The couple quickly found a place to sit down and tried to calm their nerves.
But how could they calm down about something like this! As soon as they thought of the Tai Sui, their hearts pounded uncontrollably, and they couldn't control themselves!
