Traveling back to ancient times to get rich

Chapter 8 The mushrooms taste good

Gu Changfeng swiftly flew down the mountain like a nimble bird. Of course, to make it seem like he had indeed done a lot of work, he not only picked the precious Ganoderma lucidum but also gathered some common herbs like Panax notoginseng and Poria cocos, filling a whole basket. He and his master cultivated many of these inexpensive herbs, partly to avoid suspicion. When Gu Changfeng was almost at Ye Qingchen's resting place, he slowed his pace and walked. Just then, he saw his lovely wife, tightly hugging the rabbit, waiting expectantly for his return.

Gu Changfeng tried hard to suppress the urge to ruffle Ye Qingchen's hair, but ultimately couldn't resist. He walked over to Ye Qingchen, gently ruffled her hair, and then smiled at her, saying, "I'm so lucky today!"

Then, he excitedly told Ye Qingchen that he had not only found a precious Ganoderma lucidum, but also harvested many other herbs. These herbs could be taken to town to sell and earn some money to supplement his family's income.

After speaking, he took out a bunch of colorful flowers from his hand and placed them into Ye Qingchen's hand without hesitation. The flowers looked particularly vibrant and dazzling in the sunlight, as if they were emitting a faint fragrance. Looking at the flowers in her hand, Ye Qingchen felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

Then, he casually picked up Ye Qingchen's small basket and walked down the mountain. Ye Qingchen followed closely behind, admiring the little flowers in her hand as they walked, a happy smile on her face.

Looking at the little flowers, Ye Qingchen couldn't help but exclaim, "These are so beautiful!" She knew the deep affection behind these flowers and thought that Gu Changfeng was indeed a very romantic man. Marrying him was definitely the right thing to do; she felt incredibly happy and content. So, she hugged the rabbit tightly and followed in Gu Changfeng's footsteps, her heart filled with joy.

They say going up a mountain is easy, but coming down is hard, but these two energetic young people didn't feel tired at all. They quickly returned home. The thatched cottage was still the same, but because a wedding had just been held the day before, many red lanterns and red ribbons were still hanging, adding a festive and warm atmosphere.

Immediately afterward, Ye Qingchen found a clean cloth and carefully bandaged the rabbit's wound. She had already stopped the bleeding on the way, and now all she needed to do was let it rest. She gently placed the rabbit on a hard surface made of bricks, making sure it could lie down comfortably. Then, Gu Changfeng built a fence around the rabbit, giving it its own little burrow.

Immediately, Ye Qingchen got busy. She washed the straw mushrooms and hazel mushrooms she had picked, and skillfully sliced ​​some tender meat and cut some bright green scallions for later use. First, she carefully stir-fried a plate of fragrant stir-fried meat and straw mushrooms, and then cooked a pot of delicious hazel mushroom soup. They had enjoyed a delicious meal of rice for breakfast, and for dinner, they could use the leftover rice to make a warm soup with hazel mushrooms.

As the meal was prepared, Gu Changfeng smelled the enticing aroma, and a sense of anticipation welled up within him. He carefully used a silver needle to check the raw mushrooms for poison, not out of fear of death, but out of concern for his beloved wife's safety. Only after confirming they were free of poison did he finally relax and begin to enjoy the sumptuous dinner. One bite, and he was immediately captivated by the delicious food; the exquisite flavor left him utterly enthralled and unable to tear himself away.

Today, Gu Changfeng felt very full, although he maintained his elegant eating manner. Afterwards, he led Ye Qingchen to the hot spring pool for a bath. Unlike before, this time Gu Changfeng didn't leave, but instead soaked in the pool with Ye Qingchen. However, he still didn't make any excessive moves. This made Ye Qingchen extremely depressed, and she couldn't help but wonder: Have I lost my attractiveness? She gazed at her reflection in the pool, thinking: I look quite pretty. Meanwhile, Gu Changfeng had already submerged in the water, enjoying the pleasure of the water to the fullest. In fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but that he couldn't. If he didn't go into the water soon, he was afraid he would get a nosebleed.

Ye Qingchen looked at him with considerable disappointment. It seemed she lacked charm; perhaps societal aesthetics differed. However, this was only for a moment. Then she thought, since only the two of them would use the water, wouldn't adding some spiritual water from the space to the pool be beneficial to Gu Changfeng's health, and might even cure his hidden ailment? Thinking of this, she did just that. She secretly poured spiritual spring water into the pool. Besides the original benefits of the hot spring, the pool water seemed to be infused with a power, gradually repairing everything within it.

Gu Changfeng's body had suffered some damage due to his mother's restrictive upbringing and the frequent use of medication to fake his illness. Today, while soaking in the hot spring, he vaguely felt a power gradually flowing into his body, as if repairing every nerve. The toxins remaining in his body seemed to be constantly being expelled, and Gu Changfeng suddenly felt covered in mud, forcing him to wash himself clean. Furthermore, certain areas of his body were sensitive, so to avoid any discomfort, Gu Changfeng submerged himself in the water to prevent embarrassment.

Ye Qingchen continued washing. Now that she had the opportunity to openly use the spiritual spring in her space to bathe, she naturally wanted to soak comfortably. This wash completely washed away the fatigue caused by the wedding. Furthermore, the stunted growth in her body caused by the lack of proper living conditions from childhood was gradually being repaired.

She decided to go swimming in the afternoon and catch a couple of fish to cook something delicious for tomorrow. Unbeknownst to her, her skin was gradually improving during this process.

After they finished washing up, they walked home together. Ye Qingchen noticed Gu Changfeng keeping a respectful distance, and instantly became annoyed. What was wrong? Was she disgusted with him? If she was disgusted, why did she even hold the wedding with him? Anger flared, she acted immediately. Ye Qingchen rushed to Gu Changfeng, grabbed his hand, and pulled him forward. Gu Changfeng was initially taken aback by his wife's action, then smiled and followed her.

When will his young wife turn 15? This is truly tormenting for him, but who can he tell? He can only endure it himself. It's fortunate he's trained his willpower; without years of practice, how could he remain unmoved with such a beauty in his arms? Gu Changfeng even admires himself a little. Who understands what a fine man he is?

The two walked hand in hand, one full of complaints, the other distracted.
