"Impossible!" Huang Jiayu denied without even thinking. "At this time, how could anyone be willing to abandon a carriage and horses worth a thousand gold pieces?"

To say that a carriage and a horse are worth a thousand pieces of gold is actually a euphemism. Due to the war, even if you have money now, you can't necessarily buy a horse.

In his mind, no one could possibly give up the carriage and the horse.

He had always thought that the reason they hadn't found the person for so long was because they had started chasing in the wrong direction and the other person had run too fast.

Chen Wu said, "But no matter what, she couldn't possibly outrun our horses while driving the carriage. Besides, we've investigated all the directions she might have escaped in. Even if she ran fast, there's no way she wouldn't leave a trace."

Huang Jiayu understood this without him having to say it.

It's just that he already had a fixed idea in his mind, so he never thought that the other party had abandoned the horse and carriage.

Now it seems that the woman's identity might be questionable.

She was not an ordinary peasant woman.

How could an ordinary peasant woman be capable of killing his father so cleanly and efficiently and escaping from the guards?

Huang Jiayu became increasingly frustrated.

He was too hasty and careless before!

He said urgently, "Quick! Go back to the vicinity of where Father had the accident, to the hills around there."

Ji Yunshuang was unaware that Huang Jiayu had led his men back to the place where Huang Yuanwai had the accident that day and began searching the nearby hills.

In the afternoon, she took the opportunity to enter the space.

She took out farm tools from the warehouse and began to turn over the extra patch of black soil in the space.

This black soil area is quite large; she estimated it to be at least five or six acres.

She didn't know yet whether the land was arable, so she only cleared a small patch with a hoe.

She picked out several packets of seeds from the warehouse, including cabbage, radish, celery, and coriander, and scattered some of each on the ground.

She also planted the herbs she found in the woods over the past two days.

After planting, Ji Yunshuang began to arrange the mountain produce she had picked that day.

Today she only brought a small portion of the jelly fruit back to the cave; the majority of the rest remained in her spatial dimension.

She took some tools, cut the jelly fruit open, put the seeds in a sieve, and put them in the oven to dry.

Because she was stockpiling supplies for the apocalypse, she specifically stockpiled many backup generators, including solar generators, gasoline, diesel, coal, and other energy sources.

Therefore, many electrical appliances can still be used in space today.

After drying the seeds of the jelly fruit, Ji Yunshuang collected and stored the sour jujubes.

When she has time, she can make jujube cakes from these sour jujubes. And chestnuts—whether roasted in sugar, made into chestnut shortbread, or cooked in various dishes, they're all delicious.

However, chestnuts are a bit troublesome to process, so she hasn't processed them yet and plans to do so later when she has time.

Now, she prefers to continue collecting mountain produce and stockpiling supplies.

However, just as she was about to leave the space, she heard the voices of two women talking outside.

"I clearly saw someone coming this way! How come there's no one around? Could that Ji woman really be a mountain demon in disguise?" Ma Shi shrank her neck and looked around fearfully.

Liu slapped her on the head, "What kind of stupid vixen is that? Not only does she not eat that bastard Gu family, but she also pays out of her own pocket to feed those black-hearted bastards?"

Madam Ma covered her head and said, "Mother, what you said makes sense. But where did that rice come from? Did you really find it in the mountains?"

Liu's face was full of calculation. "Who can say for sure? Anyway, there's something strange about that Ji family. We should just follow her."

Although Ji Yunshuang was in the space, because this space was her awakened superpower, she could see the surrounding situation according to her will, and she could hear the two people talking clearly.

She pursed her lips, silently left the space, grabbed the vines on the tree, and slid down from it.

"Are you looking for me?" She was standing upside down, her jet-black hair cascading down, completely obscuring her face, and her voice sounded like a female ghost from an old horror movie.

Startled by her, Liu and Ma stumbled and fell to the ground, then let out a terrifying scream, "A ghost!"

The two screamed and scrambled back as fast as they could.

Ji Yunshuang flipped and landed on the ground, laughing happily, when she met Lu Yinheng's deep eyes.

Her smile froze on her face, and she said, somewhat speechless, "When did you get here?"

When she was in the space just now, she clearly only saw Liu and Ma. When did this person arrive?

“When you fell from the tree.” Lu Yinheng’s gaze fell on the big tree behind her.

The tree is covered with lush foliage, making it difficult for others to spot someone if they hide on it beforehand.

But precisely because the tree is so lush and leafy, it is not an easy task to grab onto the vines and fall down quickly without being blocked by the branches.

she……

It seems that it's not just a rebirth, but also very different from the previous life.

There are many skills he doesn't know.

Ji Yunshuang followed his gaze and glanced at the big tree behind them.

She specifically chose this tree before entering the space.

Tall enough, lush enough.

She hid in the tree and entered the space, where she would never be discovered.

She wasn't worried.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at the man in front of her again.

She always felt that he was very different from the person in the original owner's memories.

But thinking about how the original owner was filled with resentment and regret along the way, and how she was determined to elope with Master Huang and live a good life.

It's normal that the original owner's memories contain many subjective impressions, which may cause discrepancies with reality.

She didn't think much of it and instead looked at the green vines in his hand, asking, "You've come to gather herbs?"

Lu Yinheng asked, "You know him?"

Ji Yunshuang didn't see clearly what plant he was holding; it was just a guess.

However, thinking that she could take this opportunity to clarify her knowledge of herbs, she nodded and said, "I know some."

Lu Yinheng had guessed that he had gotten to know herbs by some coincidence after following Master Huang in his previous life.

Therefore, I didn't ask her how we met.

This left Ji Yunshuang, who had prepared the book and took the opportunity to bring it out, speechless.

Is this person a silent type?

Why didn't you ask?

But since the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain!

She reached into her bundle and, using the cover, took out a book from her storage space, saying, "Aren't you wondering how I suddenly became familiar with herbs? Actually, it's all thanks to this book."

As Ji Yunshuang spoke, she handed over the book, saying, "This was given to me by the doctor when I went to fetch him for you. He said he couldn't take it with him, so he gave me this book. I flipped through it sometime and found that it's actually quite useful. Would you like to take a look?"

Lu Yinheng sneered inwardly.

It was really hard for her.

To dispel her doubts, she even prepared a book in advance. She really went to great lengths.

"No need, I'm just gathering some common medicines for treating injuries. I recognize them without even looking at a book." With that, Lu Yinheng left without looking back.
