Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Huge Harvest

Chiang Xiao really did need to relieve herself.

After running behind that big tree, she swiftly finished her business and let out a sigh of relief.

She got up, straightened her clothes, and was about to head back to Grandpa’s side, but she noticed something familiar at the root of the tree.

What was that?

Chiang Xiao’s eyes widened as she looked around cautiously before approaching.

She didn’t know what kind of tree it was, but its trunk was thick, and one person couldn’t wrap their arms around it, suggesting it was quite old.

At the base of the tree, there was a little hole.

The trunk and roots were covered in moss, with the roots also bearing a lot of wild grass.

But among that wild grass, two purplish-brown mushroom-like objects peeked out.

Could they be mushrooms?

Mushrooms were one of Chiang Xiao’s aims for this mountain trip, and she wouldn’t let them go if she found any. Strangely enough, they had walked a long mountain path without spotting any mushrooms until now.

Now that she finally saw a glimpse, Chiang Xiao’s eyes lit up.

She walked over and, after thinking about it, decided to be cautious. She reached out her hand, pulled the wood chopping knife from her Space, clutched it in her hand, and used it to part the wild grass.

Just at that moment!

A thin shadow suddenly shot towards her at high speed!

Chiang Xiao almost screamed out loud.

But she was no longer the timid girl she used to be; she repressed the scream, instinctively swinging the knife to strike.

With a snap,

a snake as thick as two fingers was slashed into two pieces, falling to the ground.

Looking at the bright banded snake pattern, Chiang Xiao broke out in a cold sweat.

A poisonous snake.

Fortunately, her reaction had become much quicker; otherwise, if she had been bitten, she didn’t know if she would have been able to make it down the mountain alive.

At that thought, Chiang Xiao felt her legs go weak.

But the snake was dead; there couldn’t be another one here, right?

She used her knife to part the grass once more.

Within the grass, two palm-sized purplish-brown mushroom caps caught her eye.

These weren’t mushrooms!

”Lingzhi?”

Chiang Xiao’s eyes widened.

They indeed looked like Lingzhi!

The two Ganoderma mushrooms were growing side by side with stems that had a black lacquered shine, exuding a fantastical charm!

All along the way, Chiang Xiao had been asking Grandpa about Ginseng and Lingzhi.

After all, she came to Bai Gu Mountain in hopes of finding quality medicinal herbs, and how could she not learn about them in detail? Although Chiang Songhai had taught her carefully, he also advised her not to set her hopes too high.

Good things like wild Ginseng and Lingzhi might exist in the deep mountains, but it wasn’t possible for them to venture that far in; it was too dangerous.

Chiang Songhai had never entered that deep himself.

After hearing his words, Chiang Xiao also felt that it was unlikely to find such quality medicinal herbs this time, and she wasn’t overly disappointed. After all, she could come back to explore more once she improved her skills.

But to her surprise, just when she had given up, she actually found two exceptionally high-quality wild Ganoderma mushrooms!

Chiang Xiao’s breathing grew heavy.

It was said that poisonous creatures dwelled where good medicinal herbs grew, as those creatures could sense treasures of heaven and earth. Could the poisonous snake she had just slashed in two be proof that these two Ganoderma mushrooms were of the finest quality?

Chiang Xiao, with wide eyes and sweating palms clenching the knife, took quite a while to calm down slightly. She put the wood chopping knife back into her Space and carefully harvested the two Lingzhi mushrooms.

A unique fragrance wafted into her nose.

Grandpa had said that wild Lingzhi usually had no taste and its flavor was bitter when tasted. But this pair of Lingzhi exuded a faint, unique aroma.

Chiang Xiao felt like cheering.

She was sure that these must be top-tier Ganoderma mushrooms!

The location wasn’t that hard to find. If people often came up Bai Gu Mountain, these two Ganoderma mushrooms would probably have been discovered earlier, and she wouldn’t have had the chance

But now, they were indeed hers! Truly a massive harvest!
