Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

After the spring rain, the weather gradually warms up and the sun shines again, as if the earth is awakening from its slumber. All things revive, full of vitality, and everything is brimming with hope and energy.

A few days after the snow melted, the three of them packed their bags and embarked on their journey. They walked along the winding path, with tender green grass under their feet, blooming flowers by the roadside, and a fresh scent in the air.

Along the way, they admired the beautiful scenery and felt the charm of nature. Rolling mountains, shady trees, and babbling streams unfolded before their eyes like a beautiful painting. They stopped to admire the view, took photos, and fully enjoyed this rare tranquility and beauty.

Before they knew it, they had been walking for over a month. During this time, they had weathered storms and felt the warmth of the sun.

Although their bodies were exhausted, their hearts were filled with joy, for they walked along the river, occasionally picking precious medicinal herbs in search of antidotes.

They had a fruitful journey. Shen Yanchu and Cui Yu'an were already used to the girl's ruthless way of taking what little they could get. After all, the girl was right. They had no money to spare, and picking some precious medicinal herbs could earn them some travel expenses.

The past few days had been rainy and the ground was damp and slippery, so the three of them stumbled and fell and didn't walk very far. Today, the sun finally came out.

Looking at the sun rising in the sky, and thinking that it was almost noon, they decided to rest for a while before continuing, since the meat and wild vegetables they had brought from the cave were almost gone. So they called out to them to stop.

"Brother Shen, Young Master Cui, let's rest for a bit today and set off again tomorrow. It's been raining these past few days. I'll go look for some bamboo shoots or mushrooms later, since we don't have much to eat. I'm sure you're tired of the fish by now!"

Shen Yanchu and Cui Yu'an nodded, dragging their heavy legs, and found a relatively flat spot on the riverbank to lay down two straw mats. Shi Wanxia and the others placed their belongings on the straw mats.

After resting for a while and regaining her strength, she took a pot to the riverbank, filled it with water, and built a makeshift stove out of stones to boil the water. She had been traveling continuously for the past few days, and it had been raining; her clothes were practically moldy. She decided to wash her hair and dry herself in a little while.

“Brother Shen, you and Young Master Cui should rest first. I’ve boiled the water. You two can wash your hair and wipe your bodies down in a bit. Remember not to go swimming in the river. You two haven’t fully recovered and have no resistance. If you go into the water on your own like you did a few days ago and catch a cold, I won’t be responsible for you.”

Shi Wanxia nagged for a long time, especially about Cui Yu'an's germaphobia, which was on par with Shen Yanchu's. As a woman, I could tolerate it, but it was only mid-February and the temperature was less than 15 degrees Celsius. These two dared to go swimming. They caught a cold when they came back that day and it took them three days to recover.

Cui Yu'an nodded hurriedly in agreement. Last time he caught a cold, if it weren't for the medicine this girl gave him, he probably...

"Don't worry, Miss Shi, I will definitely keep an eye on Shen Zhizhou, don't worry!"

His ingratiating words did little to reassure Shi Wanxia; this guy was a complete wolf in sheep's clothing. She sighed deeply, picked up her basket and knife, and went into the woods.

As summer drew to a close, she strolled through the weeds after the rain. The soil beneath her feet was damp and soft, and the air was filled with a fresh scent. She carefully avoided the thorny brambles and wet leaves, her eyes keenly scanning the ground around her.

At the base of the dead tree, she found clusters of all kinds of mushrooms. They were of different shapes and sizes; some were small and delicate, like exquisite umbrellas; others were large and plump, like full steamed buns.

Shi Wanxia only picks mushrooms she recognizes. She is well aware of the dangers of wild mushrooms and dares not easily try unfamiliar varieties.

She carefully observed the shape, color, and texture of each mushroom, gently touching their surfaces with her fingers to feel their texture and moisture. Only after confirming that the mushrooms were safe to eat did she carefully pick them and place them in her basket.

Shi Wanxia continued on her way, catching sight of a bamboo forest in the distance. She hesitated, unsure whether she should venture inside. The bamboo forest might hold more surprises, but it could also harbor unknown dangers. Ultimately, she decided to hurry into the bamboo forest.

A light mist hung in the air of the bamboo forest, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, creating golden dappled patterns. As late summer arrived, she walked along the winding path, the rustling of the bamboo leaves seeming to whisper ancient tales.

Deep in the bamboo forest, she discovered some bamboo shoots. They had just sprouted from the ground, fresh and tender. Shi Wanxia excitedly picked some bamboo shoots, and soon her basket was full. Shi Wanxia returned home with a bountiful harvest; her basket was filled with mushrooms and bamboo shoots.

She happily carried her basket to the riverbank, where she peeled and washed the mushrooms and bamboo shoots. On her way back, the air after the rain was fresh and pleasant, and the warm sunshine made her feel incredibly comfortable.

"Oh, that's great! You've finished washing your hair, hurry up and dry it. You've only been recovering from your cold for a short time! It's windy by the river, don't catch another cold."

Shi Wanxia carried the basket back to the campsite. The two dried their hair by the fire and changed into their only ancient costumes, with animal fur cloaks over them. The weather was still a bit cold.

Shi Wanxia skillfully started a pot of boiling water, filling the kitchen with a light steam. She carefully washed the fresh mushrooms and bamboo shoots, then gently placed them into the pot. As the water heated up, the mushrooms and bamboo shoots tumbled in the pot, releasing an enticing aroma.

Shi Wanxia turned to the two of them and said, "Today we'll eat mushrooms, something light, it's good for our health."

Her voice was gentle and kind, making them feel incredibly warm. The two smiled and nodded, anticipating the delicious dinner.

Soon, the mushrooms and bamboo shoots were cooked. Shi Wanxia took them out, placed them on a plate, and sprinkled them with some salt. The simple seasoning made them even more delicious.

After dinner, Shi Wanxia asked the two of them to dry the mushrooms and bamboo shoots. They sliced ​​the mushrooms and bamboo shoots and roasted them by the fire.

Shi Wanxia decided to go into the forest to pick more bamboo shoots since it was still early, since the bamboo shoots would grow into bamboo in a few days.

So she picked more to keep on hand. She carried the basket back and forth in the bamboo forest several times before stopping. Exhausted, Shi Wanxia dragged the last basket of bamboo shoots to the riverbank, collapsed on the ground, and it took her a long time to recover her strength. She got up and began to skillfully peel and trim the bamboo shoots.

"Ouch, my back! It's about to break. I'll leave the rest to you guys. I'm going to rest for a bit and wash my hair. I'll get some rest today. You two don't need to run around. Take good care of yourselves and recover your strength."

Shi Wanxia collapsed onto the straw mat. This life was truly unbearable. It had been almost seven or eight months, and in this endless forest, she was almost completely cut off from humans. Fortunately, there were still these two unlucky people like herself.

Cui Yu'an felt a little sorry for the girl, watching her lie on the straw mat with her eyes closed to rest, her small body having to take care of the two of them, who were both seven-foot tall men.

He glanced at Shen Yanchu, who was diligently slicing bamboo shoots. Shen Yanchu was a person of high status. In the past, he would never have needed to do such trivial things. A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Now, he could not think about such things. Shen Yanchu and I can only rely on this girl to make a living.

"Cui Yu'an, I know I'm good-looking. Why are you staring at me like that? What, you've taken a fancy to me? If you keep staring at me, I'll beat you up."

Shi Wanxia had a blade of grass that had been picked up somewhere in her mouth. Even though she didn't open her eyes, she knew that the boy had been staring at her.

"I say, you are quite rude, young lady. When did I, a handsome young man, ever stare at you? You should take a break. I am magnanimous and will not hold it against you."

Cui Yu'an glanced at her somewhat guiltily, wondering when this girl had become so wary.
