Chapter 679: Looking for Truffles Again
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Old Madam Wang taught Wang Chuangui for a day until the sun set. Then, she waved her hand. “You can walk on your own in the future.”
With that, she said nothing else and let Wang Chuangui leave.
After Wang Chuangui left with red eyes, Old man Wang asked, “What did you give him?”
“I didn’t get to use it back then. If he’s smart, it’s enough to save his life.” Old Madam Wang didn’t want to say anything else. She turned around and entered the inner room, lying on the bed. “Don’t call me for dinner tonight. 1 don’t have the appetite.”
Old man Wang sighed, tucked her in, and turned to leave.
When he reached the door, he said, “If you really can’t bear to part with him, just let him come back in three years.”
When he did not hear Old Madam Wang’s response, Old man Wang went out himself. He planned to go to the mountains to pick some food for his wife before the sky turned completely dark.
She said that she didn’t have an appetite, but it didn’t mean that she wasn’t hungry. She still had to eat something.
When one was old, they couldn’t afford to go hungry.
Ah Yu had entered the mountain early and was pulling Qin Huai in. “Big Brother Ah You, I dug up the truffles here back then. At that time, 1 didn’t know them. My brothers and the others even said that they were sheep feces!”
She really did not know that thing, and Meatbail did not mention it to her much. Later on, when they arrived at Wanning City, the chef that Old Madam Wang invited would cook a big dish every few days. He had only cooked truffles once.
As for the taste, it was only so-so, but it was said to be very nourishing. She did not need it, but it was very good for her eldest sister-in-law.
Truffles were not like ginseng. They were not easy to nurture in the Dimensional Pocket. The main reason was that Meatbail did not seem to have much patience for anything other than her. Truffles require a specific and unpredictable environment to grow, and it’s not just about having enough vitality. So, after two failed attempts, they didn’t try to grow them again.
Now, there were many medicinal herbs that had grown very well in Air Yu’s spatial pocket. There was also ginseng, gastrodia, polygonum multiflorum, and other precious medicinal herbs. It was just that they were a little too young, but after being nurtured with the Myriad Spirit Soil and Myriad Spirit Water, they are comparable to miracles in terms of medicinal effects. When needed, she doesn’t have to worry about the effectiveness not being achieved.
This was how humans were. The more they had something, the more they wanted what they did not have yet. Truffles were what Ah Yu did not have but wanted very much.
Her nephew was only a few months old, and her Eldest Sister-in-law had to recuperate well. She had to nourish her body properly.
Moreover, Second Uncle was going on a long trip and she didn’t know when they would meet again. It was better to prepare more good things for him at this time than to just give him water.
“If you want truffles, I still have some at my residence,” Qin Huai said. “She sent them over. I’ll give them to you when we get back.”
Ah Yu shook her head. “Your things are all in Wanning City, right? It’s too late. The round trip will take months. It’s better for me to look for them now. Don’t worry, Little Lamb is very good at finding things.”
When Little Lamb heard its name, it raised its head and bleated.
It was already a sheep father now. Behind it were two or three sheep that were slightly smaller than it. They were its descendants.
Little Lamb’s descendants were also very smart, but they were still inferior to Little Lamb.
Meatball told Ah Yu that generally speaking, only the kind of animal she fed for the first time could obtain an effect similar to that bestowed by the gods. If the living beings she took care of drank the Myriad Spirit Water again, it would be the same as ordinary people drinking the Myriad Spirit Water. It could only be used to decrease ignorance and maintain a healthy body and energy. They couldn’t ask for anything else.
Ah Yu felt that this was good. Otherwise, if a large number of smart goats appeared in Hu Family Village in the future, it would probably not be a good thing.
“Squeak!” A golden rat suddenly jumped over. Its eyes darted around, looking very lively.
What else could it be but a Spirit Treasure Rat?
“Ha, I almost forgot about you. If we’re looking for truffles, you might be even better than Little Lamb!” Ah Yu squatted down and picked it up to take a closer look. “You’re a junior of Treasure Mouse, right? The tip of your nose is a little different.”
Back then, the Spirit Treasure Rat was left behind in Hu Family Village to create junior mice. They originally thought that it would give birth to a large number of children in its life. In the end, this rat’s breed was very special. Only by being extremely lucky could it have a few descendants. Typically, a Spirit Treasure Rat could only give birth once, and the children it gave birth to could easily die prematurely. This was also why there were very few descendants of this race.
Back then, the Spirit Treasure Rat had given birth to a few and only managed to preserve two. They grew very slowly, so this one should be one of the descendants of the Spirit Treasure Rat.
“Let’s go. It’ll be dark if we don’t go now. It’s not easy to walk in the dark.” Qin Huai saw that Ah Yu was still in high spirits and wanted to enter the mountain, so he protected her and walked forward.
This time, other than Chi Jia, there were three other secret guards following them. The others stayed in the village.
Ah Yu asked the Spirit Treasure Rat and Little Lamb to lead the way. They really found truffles in a narrow area. There were quite a lot of them, and they filled a large bag.
“From the looks of it, not only is it enough for Eldest Sister-in-law, but it’s also enough for the other sisters-in-law.” All Yu heaved a sigh of relief. “I was afraid that if it wasn’t enough, the other sisters-in-law would be unhappy.”
Qin Huai: “No, as long as you give it to them, they will like it.”
If they were unhappy, he would not let All Yu prepare anything for them in the future. There was no reason for her to gain animosity while doing nice things.
Ah Yu also smiled. “Yes, as long as it’s for my family, I’m happy about anything!”
They brought the truffles back and smiled brightly. However, as they walked, their expressions became solemn.
When they returned, Ah Yu distributed the items. As expected, everyone was very happy. They originally did not want to accept it, but the things Ah Yu usually gave them were all very valuable. If they did not accept them, it would make them look distant.
After dinner, All Yu used the excuse of being tired and went into her room to sleep. In fact, she entered the spatial pocket.
“Elf, did you see it clearly? Is there really an army training over there?”
[Yes. It’s at the place where Shanyang Village was previously.]
At the same time, Qin Huai had already put on his night clothes, but he was stopped by Chi Jia.
“Young Master, Chi Tu and the others have already gone to investigate. Don’t be anxious. Your safety is the most important..”
