Chapter 132 Ginseng Nest tushumi.cc

The cave is exceptionally high; I roughly estimated it to be about five meters high.

Furthermore, since the cave is located inside the mountain, it must have been a very difficult task to bring light into it!

The cave was much larger than the one outside, and it was obvious that someone had lived there before, as there were traces of people living there.

The cave was divided into several areas, including a stone platform for sleeping, and a dilapidated box on top of the platform.

There was another place nearby that looked like a water tank. Water was seeping out of the hole, but a large tank had been carved out at the bottom to catch all the mixed water, which meant that they had achieved freedom of drinking water.

Next to the water vat, there was even a very rough stove, made of a few stones, with a pottery jar on it and some unused firewood beside it.

This place is really simple; everything is covered with a thick layer of dust, making it seem like it's from hundreds of years ago.

Looking around, she realized that the things inside the cave were more dilapidated than she had imagined. She had originally come to search for treasure, but now it seemed there wasn't much treasure to be found.

I originally intended to leave directly, but when I thought of the box with a slight hole on the stone platform, I felt like I would feel unwilling to leave without taking a look.

Yunxi went straight to the stone platform and looked at the box with a big hole in it. She felt that the hole had been gnawed by rats and was not smooth at all.

He took out the machete from his spatial storage and tapped it on the broken box. When he felt no movement inside and confirmed there was no danger, he lifted the lid of the box.

Upon opening the box, a layer of dust immediately rushed out. After a while, I looked up and saw that it was covered with several tattered pieces of cloth.

I used a knife to pick up the fabric and threw it out of the box. It felt like the original owner's clothes, but they had rotted after being left there for so long.

After the tattered clothes were removed, the items that had been hidden by the clothes were revealed. They looked like gold jewelry: a hairpin, two gold bracelets, and several gold ingots about the size of a thumb.

It's just that it's been sitting for too long, and the color isn't very nice anymore. It seems the original owner wasn't a very wealthy person.

Without touching those things, he simply put them into a corner of his space, next to his original pile of gold. He didn't know when he would need them, and he felt that anyone who saw them would find them disgusting, since they were already rusty.

After confirming that there was nothing left, Yunxi left the cave. As she emerged from the cave, she saw the sky gradually darkening.

Yunxi plans to spend the night here. Since the snake's aura is still here, no large beasts will dare to provoke her for the time being, making it the safest place for her.

Before it got completely dark, they cleared a large open space on the side, lit a bonfire, and then went to where the dozens of ginseng roots were.

Yunxi didn't plan to dig them up herself, because she felt that if she did it herself, she would easily break their roots. Instead, she would use her wood-type abilities to let them slowly emerge from the soil on their own.

It's much faster than digging by yourself.

In just over an hour, Yunxi's space was filled with a large number of ginseng roots. After digging them all up, she went to check on them to make sure there were any that had escaped.

It was all worth the effort. Less than ten meters away from those ginseng roots, we found another exceptionally large ginseng, which seemed to be the ancestor of the dozens of ginseng roots we had just encountered.

The oldest of those ginseng roots were probably only one or two hundred years old, but this ginseng root is estimated to be at least 500 years old.

Yunxi tried to communicate with it, after all, she had already developed intelligence when she was 500 years old, and perhaps ginseng, as a medicinal herb, could also have that destiny.

I tried communicating with them for a long time, but there was no response at all. The only feedback I got was to try to grow up, try to hide myself, and try to absorb nutrients.

Yunxi knew that this ginseng was not so fortunate; it had not developed any intelligence and only possessed the instincts of a plant.

Since she knew it had no intelligence, Yunxi didn't hold back and dug it out directly.

If it had any intelligence, Yunxi might spare its life, after all, life as a demon is not easy and one should cherish every moment.

After digging, they searched around the area and found other medicinal herbs. Once they were sure that all the ginseng had been dug up, they returned to the fire pit.

While it's said that everything has been dug up, that's not entirely true. For those plants less than ten years old, Yunxi didn't even touch them, letting them grow properly in the soil.

We plan to wait until they grow a bit bigger before taking action, in order to achieve sustainable development.

That night, Yunxi slept well and no wild beasts attacked her. When she woke up the next day, she felt refreshed.

Resting in the forest isn't ideal, though, because there's too much dew, especially now that it's snowing heavily. Although the trees hold back the falling snow, some occasionally slips down.

Last night she was lucky; none of the falling snow hit Yunxi. But she wasn't always so lucky.

It seems that going out in winter is really inconvenient. I really wish I didn't have to go to school now, could sleep until I naturally wake up every day, go to work when I want to, and go to the mountains when I don't want to. I wonder when I'll be able to realize this wish.

I washed up, ate breakfast, and then prepared to leave.

Although it seems like two days have passed, we haven't been idle along the way, so the distance we've traveled isn't actually that far.

Yunxi plans to stay for another day today and return tomorrow. She is worried that if she doesn't go back soon, the roof of her house will collapse under the weight of the snow.

After walking all morning, they finally arrived at a plain. Yunxi felt that she must be the one who had gone the deepest, while others probably hadn't even reached this place before turning back.

However, it is quite rare to find a plain deep in the mountains and forests. Indeed, anything is possible, it just depends on whether you have seen it before.

There are no particularly tall trees on the plains, and there is not a trace of green to be seen. It is all covered with thick snow, so it seems that it would be difficult to catch prey if encountered.

All the vines were buried under the snow, making it even more difficult to force them to grow. They simply couldn't break through the thick snow to grow.
