"Little Pear, slow down! I can't keep up!"

Wen Li pretended not to hear until she reached the outer perimeter, where she stopped, panting heavily.

She glanced at Jiang Yue'er. Jiang Yue'er's actions just now clearly didn't intend to kill her. Thinking of how Jiang Yue'er had shielded her...

Could it be that Jiang Yue'er is planning to... play the hero and save the damsel in distress?

Alright! I see now, Jiang Yue'er really wants to gain her trust. This time, she stood in front of her to try and win her favor. With this life-saving grace, it will be much easier for Jiang Yue'er to get close to her in the future.

Or to put it another way, out of consideration for saving his life, he couldn't refuse any request she made. If he refused, once everyone found out, they would only criticize him for being ungrateful, and then he wouldn't be able to get rid of her even if he wanted to!

The abacus beads were practically jumping into her face, but luckily she was quick-witted, or she would have really succeeded!

She still couldn't figure out Jiang Yue'er's personality, but she couldn't let her use this matter to her advantage.

"Little Pear, I just saved..."

"Moon, why don't the wild boars attack you?"

"Huh?" Before Jiang Yue'er could finish speaking, Wen Li began to question her. She had originally wanted to confirm the matter of being saved, but Wen Li interrupted her abruptly.

Wen Li looked at Jiang Yue'er with a hurt expression. "Yue'er, I heard there's a kind of powder that can attract wild boars. Did you just do something to me?"

"I thought you really didn't care about the past, but I never expected you to try to hurt me. You've hurt me so much!"

The words of accusation caught Jiang Yue'er off guard, and she was momentarily stunned.

"Comrade Jiang, please don't come looking for me again. I never imagined you hated me this much!"

After Wen Li finished speaking, she turned to leave. Jiang Yue'er, not expecting Wen Li to think of this, immediately panicked and quickly stepped forward to stop her. "Little Li, let me explain, you've really misunderstood!"

Wen Li's eyes were still a little red. "Then how do you explain that the wild boar didn't attack you? You even dragged me to an open area; weren't you trying to make me get run over by the wild boar?"

"No, you've really misunderstood. You know I've been lucky since I was little; those wild animals never attacked me. I was worried you wouldn't be able to escape, so I grabbed you. Didn't I stand in front of you?"

Wen Li still looked suspicious and took two steps back defensively. "I could have escaped back then. Are you sure you didn't intentionally try to hurt me?"

Faced with Wen Li's suspicions, Jiang Yue'er explained until her mouth was dry before Wen Li nodded with some doubt. In the end, it was Jiang Yue'er's promise to help her dig up three ginseng roots that made Wen Li reluctantly forgive her.

Jiang Yue'er returned home grumbling and cursing. Today she had truly lost both her wife and her army. Not only did she not get the life-saving grace, but she was also tricked by Wen Li!

Wen Li hummed a little tune as she returned to the educated youth compound. She threw the pheasant and rabbit into her spatial storage halfway there, leaving only the pheasant behind.

When Jiang Yue'er asked, she said she lost it while running away. Although Jiang Yue'er felt sorry for her, she didn't dare to blame her.

"You're back? So, do you know what she's up to?" Chen Yan had been waiting for Wen Li to come back, but a whole day had passed.

"It's still unclear, but for now we know she has ill intentions!"

Although Jiang Yue'er had revealed a flaw, she remained calm and it was still uncertain whether she was after the space. However, since she had agreed to help find ginseng, she should no longer need to deal with her for the time being.

"Since you know she has ill intentions, just ignore her. It's pointless to bother her!"

"Hmm, I know what I'm doing. We have pheasant today, how about chicken soup?"

"Give me the pheasant, I'll have Qi Jun handle it. Don't touch cold water in this freezing weather, you just got back!"

"Okay, I'll go back and heat up the kang (heated brick bed) first; it's just too cold!"

Qi Jun and Chen Yan went to process the pheasant, and Wen Li took out some dried mushrooms to soak. Tonight, they will stew a pheasant and mushroom soup!

After finishing their meal, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest, as they were too cold to bear it.

A short while later, Wen Li heard the sound of the back door opening, and then she heard the sounds of Jiang Chen washing up coming from his room.

Jiang Chen has been leaving early and returning late these past few days, and he's nowhere to be seen. It seems he's in a hurry. With the heavy snow blocking the mountains in winter, it's even harder to find things. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he searches, he can't find the treasure. The treasure was originally prepared for the male and female leads, but she's intercepted it!

Once she was sure there was no more noise outside, Wen Li entered the space and planted the two Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms that Jiang Yue'er had given her in the empty space where she had originally planted ginseng.

Since Ganoderma lucidum is a type of fungus, she wasn't sure if it could be successfully grown. However, these two Ganoderma lucidum were relatively young and not very valuable, so she wouldn't feel bad even if they couldn't be grown.

He then casually poured some spiritual spring water on the plants and went to process all the pheasants and rabbits he had caught that day.

Then sprinkle it with salt and white wine to marinate it, and take it out to dry tomorrow.

She also made some spicy cabbage and kimchi. Although she had fresh vegetables in her space, she couldn't openly take them out to eat. Even if it was just for show, she had to make more pickled vegetables.

All the fruit in the space was ripe, so she decided not to supply vegetables anymore and instead supply fruit. Although apples and oranges were a bit early for the season, it didn't matter much. She packed all the ripe apples and oranges in the space.

I estimate that there are about one or two thousand catties of each, and there are some that are not yet ripe. It should be enough to supply 300 catties of each type per week.

It's pear season now, so we can bring more.

After arranging the fruit, Wen Li returned to her room to rest. It was too cold outside, so she slept in her spatial dimension. The temperature inside was always kept in the twenties, and the air was fresh, so Wen Li felt that her sleep quality was much better when she slept there.

The next day, she woke up naturally before getting out of bed. With nothing much to do lately, Wen Li started reading traditional Chinese medicine books from her spatial storage.

She had thought about it. Why was the female lead in the original book able to win over so many important figures? It was because of the spiritual spring water! Wen Li knew traditional Chinese medicine, although only superficially, but she had the spiritual spring water!

With the aid of the spiritual spring water, she was not worried about its exposure and could rely on her medical skills to establish herself.

She used to think that dealing with the female lead wouldn't be too difficult, but after seeing Jiang Yue'er's incredible luck, Wen Li no longer dared to underestimate her.

She must protect herself while also protecting the original owner's family, who are her most reliable support. Even if the female protagonist finds her biological parents, she will have the confidence to rely on them once she becomes stronger.

Everyone has someone to rely on, right?

Chen Yan knew that Wen Li had been studying lately, so she didn't bother her. She either stayed at home researching food or wandered around the village, gossiping with Li Xiangxiang.

She's not bored at all!

Sometimes when she forgot the time, Chen Yan would ask Qi Jun to cook extra food and bring it to her room.

She drinks spiritual spring water every day and can memorize the contents of a book after reading it only two or three times. She reads so diligently that she forgets to eat and sleep, and the results are quite good. However, although she understands the principles, she has no practical experience!
