After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 158: Important Plot Begins

Gu Wangyan said with a smile, "I was worried that you two young girls might be in danger, so I came along to check on you."

Fang Lingchu nodded, then asked, "Why won't you let me pick it?"

The mushroom in front of her was red with white dots on it, arranged in patches, and looked very pretty.

Gu Wangyan helped the person up before explaining, "That mushroom is poisonous and can't be eaten. If you like picking them, I'll take you with me."

Upon hearing that it was poisonous, Fang Lingchu took a step back and then said, "How do you know about these things?"

As Gu Wangyan walked with her, he said, "Back when we were at the border, if the grain wasn't delivered on time, I would lead the soldiers to the mountains to hunt and find wild vegetables. Mushrooms are a common and delicious thing."

You'll know once you look around enough.

Fang Lingchu was somewhat touched when she heard him say that.

Military generals in this era were not highly regarded, and could even be said to have been suppressed.

"How old were you back then? You went to the mountains to find wild vegetables."

Gu Wangyan turned to her with a smile and said, "When I was 10 years old, the late emperor and His Majesty were fighting fiercely, and no one had anything to eat. I never thought we would have to be self-sufficient."

Fang Lingchu nodded in understanding, looking down at the ground for mushrooms, completely unaware that Gu Wangyan was looking at her.

"I see! It shouldn't happen again. Once Ma Caidie has grown the potatoes, you can take the seeds back with you and grow them yourselves. Then you won't have to go up the mountain to find food."

Gu Wangyan looked at Fang Lingchu, who was searching for something with her head down. He wanted to reach out and touch her head, but he didn't dare. He could only watch quietly.

Upon hearing her words, he instinctively replied, "You can't grow food over there."

Fang Lingchu didn't even look up, and confidently said, "Potatoes can grow anywhere, it's just a matter of how much. They can thrive even better in arid and sandy areas!"

Upon hearing her words, Gu Wangyan simply smiled happily without any suspicion.

"it is good."

Fang Lingchu continued searching for mushrooms, while Gu Wangyan was responsible for protecting them.

Suddenly, the system's voice sounded, startling her.

[Guagua, don't you know that people can be terrifying? What's wrong? Why are you so easily startled?]

The system knew it was excited, but still said: [Host, Chang Yingying has found a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. Go and see it quickly.]

Upon hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu put down the stick in her hand, grabbed Gu Wangyan, and ran towards Chang Yingying.

"Sister Yingying, where are you?"

Upon hearing the voice, Chang Yingying, who was about to descend the cliff to pick Ganoderma lucidum, quickly replied, "I'm over here..."

Fang Lingchu quickly spotted the person on the edge of the cliff and hurried over.

"Sister Yingying, what are you doing here? I was so scared when I couldn't find you."

Fang Lingchu quickly let go of Gu Wangyan's hand and went to check on Chang Yingying.

System: [Host, you've gone a bit overboard.]

Fang Lingchu: [What do you mean, "what ...

The system has nothing to say.

After all, in this dramatic and absurd world, it really could happen.

[Then why did you let the female lead go down to pick them?]

Fang Lingchu: [Of course we should let her go by herself, after all, this is an important part of the plot, but we need to make sure she goes down safely and comes back up safely.]

Then he instructed Gu Wangyan to find sturdy vines.

"Sister Yingying, let the two of us help you. It will be safer for you to go down there."

Chang Yingying nodded, after all, she really didn't want to be rescued by Zhang Sanqian after losing her memory. Soon, Gu Wangyan found a relatively long and sturdy vine, tied one end to the tree and the other end to Chang Yingying.

Gu Wangyan helped pull Chang Yingying down slowly.

Fang Lingchu watched from the side, and when Chang Yingying was almost down there, she saw a snake.

[I knew it wouldn't be that simple, Guagua, is that snake poisonous?]

"Sister Yingying, there seems to be a snake next to the Ganoderma lucidum. Please be careful."

Chang Yingying also saw the snake. She pulled on the rope and said, "Young Master Gu, don't panic. Let me deal with the snake."

Gu Wangyan gave a cold "hmm".

No more ropes were lowered; Fang Lingchu kept an eye on things and also took the opportunity to learn about the plot from the system.

[Guagua, in this kind of situation, wouldn't the female lead usually get bitten by a snake, and then the male lead appears and saves her?]

The system, watching Chang Yingying sway as she sprinkled the powder, said: [Anyway, something unexpected is bound to happen in this situation. Either the male lead will save the damsel in distress, or the male supporting character will do the same. Host, what should we do?]

Just as the two were discussing, Gu Wangyan felt that the thick rope was about to have an accident.

"Be careful, Chu Chu."

As soon as she finished speaking, the rope broke. Fang Lingchu quickly sent her little white dog down to catch Chang Yingying, while she herself ran away.

In general, something unexpected is bound to happen in this situation. It's better for her to stay away, otherwise she might get splattered with blood.

Xiao Bai appeared instantly, took Chang Yingying from her, and helped her up; she was almost falling to the ground.

Chang Yingying patted her chest, picked the Ganoderma lucidum as quickly as possible, and then had someone send her up.

What they didn't know was that Zhang Sanqian's group was below, and if Chang Yingying fell, she might land right on Zhang Sanqian.

Zhang Sanqian had a feeling that something should happen today, but he felt like he had lost something.

However, the feeling wasn't strong, so he didn't pay attention to it.

They were just passing through and would leave shortly afterward.

Fang Lingchu breathed a sigh of relief, certain that Chang Yingying had come up safely.

"Is everything okay?"

Chang Yingying was also a little scared and said, "It's nothing. Look, a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum can be sold for a lot of money."

Gu Wangyan looked at the Ganoderma lucidum in her hand and said, "It would be dangerous for you to take this to the county town to buy it yourself."

Chang Yingying also understood this principle, but what other options did she have now?

Gu Wangyan looked at the things in her hand and said, "I'll buy them for you. You can tell me the approximate price."

Chang Yingying was happy to hear that someone could help her, but she still subconsciously looked at Fang Lingchu.

I would only feel comfortable asking him for help if she agreed.

Fang Lingchu nodded and said, "That's right, Sister Yingying, you should ask him to go for you."

Chang Yingying nodded and said, "This Ganoderma lucidum needs to be worth at least 100 taels to sell, plus my herbs, it will cost a total of 300 taels."

Gu Wangyan nodded and took the Ganoderma lucidum.

Then the three of them went down the mountain.

I came up here to find something to make money, and now that I've completed my mission, there's no need for me to stay on the mountain.

After all, they had been there for almost three hours.
