Chapter 223 Danger! Danger! Danger!

Only after Su Nuannuan reminded him did Su Erqiang realize that they were not far from the deep mountains.

Then, Su Erqiang gasped.

Normally, without prior preparation, he wouldn't dare bring Su Nuannuan here alone.

Although it is winter, there is no guarantee that no starving wild animals will come out to hunt for food.

Su Erqiang's first reaction was to quickly take Su Nuannuan home.

However, he thought of the ginseng in the field, and without any hesitation, Su Erqiang handed the basket to Su Nuannuan and said.

"Nuan Nuan, it's too dangerous here. You should take the wood ear mushrooms home quickly. I'll stay here and dig out the ginseng."

It's impossible to get Su Erqiang to give up this ginseng.

If they hadn't met, things would have been fine. But now that they have, Su Erqiang is not about to give up this opportunity to make a fortune.

Although he didn't know how much savings his family had, he knew that if his younger sister hadn't been admitted to university, his family wouldn't have been very wealthy.

Moreover, even if Su Erqiang is stubborn, he knows that the more money the better.

Therefore, it was impossible for Su Erqiang to ignore this ginseng.

Seeing Su Erqiang's anxious look, Su Nuannuan was both amused and exasperated, and said...

"Second brother, the more important thing now is to dig out the ginseng. You're clumsy, and if you break the ginseng, it won't fetch a good price. You should just watch from the side, I'll dig it out."

After saying that, Su Nuannuan didn't wait for Su Erqiang's reply, picked up a shovel and started digging.

With the aid of her spiritual power, Su Nuannuan easily avoided the ginseng roots and dug away the surrounding soil.

Seeing that Su Nuannuan had already started, Su Erqiang knew he couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he stomped his foot and began to be wary of his surroundings.

Besides the wild animals, Su Erqiang was also worried about being discovered by the villagers.

Therefore, Su Erqiang was very vigilant this time.

His eyes scanned their surroundings while his other hand rested on Su Nuannuan's shoulder. If he sensed anything amiss, Su Erqiang would grab Su Nuannuan and run.

Compared to ginseng, Su Erqiang cares more about Su Nuannuan's safety.

Su Nuannuan kept Su Erqiang's actions in mind.

To avoid worrying Su Erqiang, Su Nuannuan sped up the process of digging for ginseng.

Su Nuannuan was engrossed in digging for ginseng. Before long, an hour had passed.

In the sky, the sun had risen to its zenith.

Su Nuannuan could sense movement deep within the mountains and forests.

A look of alert flashed in her eyes. Seeing that all the ginseng had been dug out, Su Nuannuan took the ginseng and said to Su Erqiang.

"Second brother, the ginseng has been dug up. Let's go quickly."

After saying that, Su Nuannuan didn't mind the dirt, put the ginseng in her bosom, and pulled Su Erqiang down the mountain.

Su Erqiang also sensed the movement deep in the mountains.

Upon hearing that Su Nuannuan had obtained the ginseng, he slung his basket over his shoulder, tucked Su Nuannuan under his arm, and ran down the mountain.

During the run, a lot of wood ear mushrooms spilled out of the basket.

Su Erqiang didn't pay attention, his eyes fixed straight ahead, without turning around.

Su Nuannuan felt a sudden dizziness, followed by a scene of the surrounding landscape receding into the distance.

Being held like this, Su Nuannuan felt a little nauseous.

However, Su Nuannuan did not make any sound.

A woman's intuition told her they were very close to danger. She didn't want to bother Su Erqiang.

Of course, Su Nuannuan didn't just sit and wait to die. After feeling a bit better, she began using her mental energy to monitor the surrounding area within a ten-mile radius. However, as soon as she started probing, she discovered three black bears nine miles away.

Two large and one small creature, their noses seemed to be sniffing something. Although they couldn't find the exact direction yet, they were moving towards Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang's location.

Although black bears are clumsy, they are still faster than humans.

When Su Nuannuan noticed the black bear, she was already prepared to transfer Su Erqiang and herself into the space at any time.

Su Nuannuan was so tense that she didn't notice that Su Erqiang was even more anxious than she was.

Although Su Erqiang was unaware of the black bear's existence, he possessed an innate sense of danger. As the black bear approached them, the radar of danger in Su Erqiang's mind flashed wildly.

This is why he didn't hesitate at all, picked up Su Nuannuan, and ran away.

As he ran, Su Erqiang didn't notice the scratches on his face from the twigs. He didn't slow down and ran as fast as he could down the mountain.

Behind Hongqi Village lies a large forest. There must be many good things inside, but no one dares to go in.

Tigers had been sighted before. Later, for the safety of the people living at the foot of the mountain, someone from the county borrowed troops to build a fence around the area with barbed wire.

This is why Hongqi Village is free from wild animals.

However, the wire mesh rots easily if not replaced for a long time. It's inevitable that one or two animals will escape. However, perhaps because they are used to living deep in the mountains, these wild animals don't like going to the mountain passes.

Therefore, Hongqi Village remains safe as always.

If the black fungus hadn't grown in the spiritual spring space and been imbued with spiritual energy, it wouldn't have attracted the black bear spirit and his family of three.

Lady Luck is on Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang's side.

The black bear stopped at the spot where Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang had been digging for ginseng.

They are eating the black fungus on the ground.

Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang had already run down the mountain and were well over ten miles away from the black bear. Therefore, Su Nuannuan did not see this scene.

Otherwise, she would have known what had lured the black bear out.

Su Erqiang only breathed a sigh of relief after they came out of the mountain.

However, he didn't leave Su Nuannuan behind and went straight home.

Su Nuannuan sensed that Su Erqiang was frightened this time. She remained silent, wanting to let him calm down.

Once he got home, Su Erqiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With his last bit of strength, Su Erqiang carried Su Nuannuan into his own yard. After putting Su Nuannuan down, he collapsed to the ground like a limp noodle.

The wood ear mushrooms in the basket had spilled all over the ground, but Su Erqiang ignored them, collapsing to the ground panting and staring blankly into space.

Su Nuannuan's eyes were dry, and she felt somewhat sorry for Su Erqiang.

If she hadn't insisted on choosing that place to transplant ginseng, my second brother wouldn't have been so frightened.

Su Nuannuan made a decision: From now on, no matter how poor we are, I will not let my family take any risks.

Wiping away her tears, Su Nuannuan squatted down and waited until Su Erqiang's breathing stabilized before asking.

"Second brother, are you alright?"

Su Erqiang turned his head to look at Su Nuannuan, his eyes filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.

"Nuan Nuan, I think if we had been any later, we would have been in danger."

Although Su Erqiang didn't see it with his own eyes, he was already certain in his heart. That's why he ran wildly without stopping.

He only felt a sense of security after he got home.

Su Nuannuan truly admired Su Erqiang's intuition. You see, while intuition is something intangible and elusive, it can be life-saving in emergencies.

If she hadn't had the space this time, and if her second brother hadn't had that terrifying intuition, they probably would have been finished.
