Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 970 Searching for Wild Ginseng in the Deep Mountains

"Haha, now you believe I can take you deep into the mountains and then come out, right?"

The reason Chu Chen wanted to bring Wang Guifang along was because he was worried that after he left, that Ma Lao Er would come and cause trouble again.

It would be a shame if I accidentally got taken advantage of by someone like him.

"I believe you, I believe you. Okay, I'll go cook dinner. We'll eat our fill tonight, and then we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning!"

Chu Chen nodded, signaling her to go cook.

He lay down on the bed and pondered his next move.

A short while later, Wang Guifang brought a bowl of millet porridge to Chu Chen.

"Eat up, Qingxuan, this millet porridge is delicious, it smells amazing!"

Looking at the enthusiastic Wang Guifang in front of him, Chu Chen picked up the bowl and slurped down the entire bowl of porridge.

Seeing Chu Chen eating so heartily, Wang Guifang was also happy.

After a night, just as dawn was breaking, the two left the thatched hut and, under the cover of darkness, headed straight for the back mountain.

Wang Guifang was holding that wood-chopping knife in her hand.

What are you doing with that thing?

"For self-defense, there are plenty of wild boars and such in the mountains."

Chu Chen nodded after listening, then cut two bamboo stalks by the roadside, sharpened one end, and handed them to Wang Guifang.

"Sister, just take this and follow behind me!"

"Don't worry, we won't be that unlucky. And even if we do encounter one, I wouldn't consider a wild boar a threat."

Hearing Chu Chen's words, and considering that the sixth brother had only suffered minor injuries from falling from such a height, Wang Guifang felt much more at ease.

Looking at Chu Chen's retreating figure, she felt a sense of longing to return to Nantian.

When the sky cleared completely, the two had reached the halfway point of the mountain.

This place is usually deserted, meaning that the two of them have already ventured deep into the heart of the mountains.

Anything can happen in these mountains, so Wang Guifang seemed a little nervous at this moment.

Chu Chen didn't care. With his strength, even if he was surrounded by a group of tigers, he could kill them one by one like picking up chicks.

"Sis, let's rest for a bit, there's no one else here!"

After hearing this, Wang Guifang plopped down on the ground: "Take a rest, take a rest, you're too tired. You're really healthy."

At this moment, both of them were covered in sweat from the strenuous exercise.

Wang Guifang didn't treat Chu Chen as an outsider; she immediately lifted her clothes and wiped her sweat.

Looking at the patch of white beneath the clothes, Chu Chen thought to himself, "You really don't hide anything from people, do you?" But at this moment, besides the two of them, there really was no one else.

I've seen everything at the pond before, so it's nothing special.

But it's all sweaty, so it needs to be washed before eating.

After resting for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two continued their journey into the deep mountains. Chu Chen, holding the bamboo pole in his hand, walked ahead.

A short while later, the sound of flowing water could be heard.

"Sis, there seems to be a stream ahead. Let's go wash up. We're all sweaty."

"Yes, yes, I've never been up here before either. Let's go take a look!"

After saying that, the two followed the sound of the flowing water and came to a small stream.

Chu Chen found a small pool of water, about half a person deep, and plunged in.

Wang Guifang was also feeling unbearably hot, so she plunged into the stream and felt the coolness of the water. Both of them breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Sister, how far is it from where the old ginseng was found?"

"It's not far, is it? I heard from the villagers that it's on that barren mountain over there. Let's wash up again, eat something, and then we'll go over."

Chu Chen looked at the sun overhead.

Because they were carrying an ordinary person, their ascent was slow, and it was already close to noon.

If you keep going uphill, you'll probably reach your destination at night. Anyone with a sound mind wouldn't choose to go into the mountains at night.

So he quickly said to Wang Guifang, "Sister, we're not in a hurry. If we go into that mountain now, it will be dusk by the time we get there, and it won't be safe."

"How about we rest here for a day and go into the mountains early tomorrow morning? That way, we can make a round trip in one day, which is safer."

Wang Guifang nodded after listening, thinking to herself that city people are indeed very clever.

It's probably not safe to stay in that mountain at night.

You know, old medicinal herbs are guarded by wild animals. Going there at night is like feeding them.

"Alright, sister, wash yourself up. Go get some branches or something and set up a sleeping area."

After saying that, Wang Guifang turned her back to Chu Chen and began to perform a series of actions.

A surge of anger immediately welled up in Chu Chen's mind. He thought to himself, "Damn it, sometimes it's not what I want, it's the environment that forces me to be like this."

So after taking a quick look, he climbed out of the pool and headed into the forest.

He chose a large tree, then picked up a machete and started chopping down sticks and vines.

To build shelter in this wild animal-infested area, the best option is to live in a tree.

With his late-stage Void God Realm cultivation, the shelter was almost finished in less than half an hour, located on two trees next to the pool.

A bed about 1.5 meters long was built using wooden sticks and vines.

Above their heads, a small roof was made of pine branches and other materials to prevent rain from falling.

They even thoughtfully installed guardrails to prevent people from falling down in the middle of the night.

Looking at the small bed beneath him and Wang Guifang still rustling in the pond, Chu Chen suddenly realized that he had never experienced such a scene before, even after all this time since he transmigrated.

Thinking of this, he immediately jumped to the ground. When he came back, the small bed was covered with soft pine needles and withered grass. He lay down on it and found it to be as soft as a Simmons mattress.

He nodded in satisfaction and returned to the ground.

At this moment, Wang Guifang had finished tidying up and was starting a fire on the ground.

Chu Chen rushed into the woods and returned with a roast chicken and two wild rabbits in his hands.

For him, hunting was incredibly easy.

"Qingxuan, I never expected that a young master from the city like you would have such skills?"

Wang Guifang looked at the bed above her head and the prey in Chu Chen's hand, and immediately beamed with joy.

"Haha, when I was practicing martial arts with my master, I learned everything, and hunting is a necessary part of it."

Wang Guifang looked at the man in front of her, said nothing more, took the things from Chu Chen's hand, and went to the stream to deal with them.

Little did they know that at that moment, a fully grown tiger was hiding in the bushes in the distance, watching Chu Chen and Wang Guifang intently.
