Chapter 8 Being a Fairy Sister Isn't Easy

When Shen Mujin sighed for the eighteenth time, the so-called god of sighs did not favor her. Silently moving from the warm stone bench to another, she decided to abandon her sorrow and pull herself together!

Actually, Shen Mujin had considered time travel before; after all, everyone has a girlish heart. If she were to transmigrate into the body of a palace concubine or princess, she could witness a grand palace drama of intrigue and power struggles; if she were to transmigrate into the body of a chivalrous hero, she could witness a bloody martial arts epic! However, neither of these wishes came true. Because when Shen Mujin opened her eyes, she discovered that she—no, this body—was actually living in a cave at the foot of a mountain! There were many living things within a hundred miles, but she was the only human among them.

Of course, if the two graves next to the back hill are also counted as people, then there are three.

Surrounded by a completely unfamiliar body, Shen Mujin began to panic. She frantically searched the room, looking for any documents that could prove the body's identity. Then, under the pillow, she found an envelope and a very familiar jade pendant. Holding the pendant up, Shen Mujin suddenly remembered—it was the very same package that had been mistakenly delivered to Gu Yan's house! The one they had secretly divided among themselves!

But did this jade pendant come with me from another time, or was it already here?

With this question in mind, Shen Mujin quickly opened the envelope, and only after reading the letter did she roughly understand the body's condition.

"This body is named Shen Nianwan. The character 'Shen' can be written with the same stroke, so there seems to be some connection," Shen Mujin murmured in amazement. However, she never expected that she was a descendant of the Shen clan. She was here to guard some treasure, buried in this mountain. This mountain is one of the many high mountains in Yunzhou, located at the intersection of the southeast and north. Because of its treacherous terrain, it was named Zhuiyun Cliff (Falling Cloud Cliff), and few people venture here, waiting only for a destined person to arrive!

Shen Mujin immediately became excited as she read on. She loved this formula; it was clearly a female-centric story. In a few days, all sorts of handsome male leads would flock to her for a treasure, only to fall in love with her in the end.

Unexpectedly, she hadn't met a single boyfriend in modern times, but after transmigrating, she immediately became a heartthrob. After reading the letter, Shen Mujin felt completely relaxed. She spent her free time walking her big yellow dog and became a fairy in the cave, just waiting for her destined male leads to come and pick her up on auspicious clouds.

By the way, let me introduce you: Dahuang, a dog whose name and breed are unknown. After Mu Jin tried all sorts of names that could be used as dog names, she only reacted to the name Dahuang and barked a few times, so Dahuang became known as Dahuang.

Luckily, Dahuang was there to keep her company, otherwise she would have been a little scared to be alone at the foot of the mountain. But the mountains are different; every morning she can breathe in plenty of fresh air and run or do some exercises in this natural oxygen bar. Touching her smooth skin, Shen Mujin couldn't help but sigh: "It's really all-natural and pollution-free. When you have some free time, your skin gets better. Carrying bricks used to be so hard."

But then she thought about it again. She had already been here for a few days and didn't know what the situation was like in real life. If she disappeared without asking for leave, she might lose her job.

Wait! Will I silently disappear in the real world, or will I fall into a deep sleep and coma like the other girls? Could it be that those comatose girls, like me, have also transmigrated?

Unable to figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it. Since she was already there, she might as well make the best of it. She couldn't go back anytime soon anyway, so thinking too much was pointless; she might as well deal with the situation first. After comforting herself, the very easygoing Shen Mujin picked up her axe, led Da Huang, and headed to the mountains to chop firewood.

Yes, you read that right. Even as a "fairy sister" in the mountains, Shen Mujin still needs to eat. In ancient times, cooking required firewood. Fortunately, she lived in the village with her grandmother for a while when she was young, so she was quite adept at these tasks. Otherwise, if she were alone in the wilderness, she would have died before the male lead even arrived, and the whole story would have ended.

Shen Mujin had a very fruitful day. She not only chopped a small bundle of firewood, but also successfully dug up some plantain and cogon grass roots. These can not only be eaten as wild vegetables, but also be used as a hemostatic medicine in case of emergency. She was very happy.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The next day, just as Shen Mujin put the herbs out to dry, large raindrops began to pelt down. One moment the sun was shining brightly, and the next, dark clouds gathered. Frustrated, Shen Mujin didn't even have time to drink her tea before quickly moving the herbs back inside. What's the most frightening thing about living in the mountains? Undoubtedly, it's torrential rain. The mountains are already low-lying, and with heavy rain, Shen Mujin was extremely worried that a landslide or mudslide could bury their home.

Fortunately, the rain came and went quickly. As soon as the rain subsided a little, Big Yellow, which was right next to my feet, darted away like an arrow.

"Hey, Da Huang!" Su Mujin quickly followed, taking a few steps forward. But when she reached the doorway, she stopped, staring at the muddy dirt road—no, a muddy road. Su Mujin hesitated. When she looked up again, Da Huang had already disappeared.

Oh well, maybe it'll come back on its own soon. I must say, the air in the mountains after the rain is truly refreshing and invigorating.

"Indeed, the shimmering water is beautiful on a sunny day, and the misty mountains are equally enchanting in the rain." Suddenly, I understood the meaning of Su Shi's poem.

When she's in a good mood, her work efficiency increases. Su Mujin happily tidied up the house, but after almost finishing cleaning, Da Huang still hadn't returned. Su Mujin looked up at the sun, which was already high in the sky, and was wondering whether to go out and look for it when she heard Da Huang running back, barking.

"Stop!" Seeing a dark, dirty creature rushing towards her, Shen Mujin quickly raised her hand to stop it. Unfortunately, Big Yellow didn't stop and crashed directly into her calf, leaving a dark mark. Shen Mujin squatted down, about to get angry, when she smelled a familiar yet inappropriate scent.

Ignoring the mud covering Da Huang, Shen Mujin hugged the dog and checked it over, asking, "Da Huang, are you hurt? Are you bleeding anywhere?"

Big Yellow struggled to break free from Shen Mujin's grasp and ran off again, but this time it turned back to stare at her after a few steps, as if trying to lead her somewhere. Shen Mujin was also a little confused, but she was certain she couldn't mistake the bloody smell on Big Yellow. After hesitating for a moment, she ignored the muddy ground, grabbed the axe leaning against the wall, and followed Big Yellow. Big Yellow walked and stopped, constantly looking back, afraid of falling behind. Led by Big Yellow, Shen Mujin turned left and right, and before her shoes could change completely, Big Yellow stopped.

Although the heavy rain had washed away the surrounding smells, Shen Mujin, who dealt with surgeries year-round, was very familiar with the faint smell of blood in this area. Gripping the axe in her hand, she slowly walked towards the woods ahead of Big Yellow.

Although it was midday, the forest was filled with tall trees, their leaves intertwined, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows. Shen Mujin gently kicked the big yellow dog that had been following her closely since they entered the forest, and muttered disdainfully, "Look at you, such a coward. If you were scared, why did you bring me here?"

After walking for about half an incense stick's time, the stench of blood grew stronger. Shen Mujin looked around, frowned, and decisively stopped. Based on years of experience with novels, she would most likely encounter the severely injured male lead soon, and then the female lead would save him, leading to a happy ending where they fell in love.

But why were there suddenly four men in black lying on the ground in front of her, and they looked like they were dead beyond any doubt? The forest was full of insects after the rain, and although these people were dead, their numerous wounds still attracted insects to eat them. Even Su Mujin, who had seen bloody scenes before, silently looked away after one glance. Thank goodness, she hadn't eaten lunch yet.

But how did these people die here? I just glanced at the wounds; they looked like sword or knife wounds. This forest isn't far from where she lives, so it seems these mountains aren't safe either. Most importantly, where is her male lead?!

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I wanted to call Da Huang back for dinner, but when I looked down, Da Huang, who had been right next to my feet, had disappeared again.

Damn it, what is this dog running around for again? Is it trying to become a spirit?!
