nOf course, it could also be possible that they were too timid to head into the mountains.

n

nHowever, the village’s Chief and Junior Officer organized everyone to enter the mountains together. Everyone shared what they found, and no one starved to death.

n

nEven if some households had family members who were either old, weak, sick, or disabled and could not enter the mountains, the Chief would still distribute food to them. They could scrape by and survive like this.

n

n“I saw An Clan Village organizing people to enter the mountains today,” she remarked.

n

nShe did not expect to gather much good stuff with Qian Jiyun around. She only hoped to find some herbs to plant in her Microcosm.

n

n“They didn’t enter the deep mountains,” Qian Jiyun said.

n

nThe villagers dared not venture deep into the mountains as they could not fend for themselves against the wild beasts there.

n

nEven he did not dare to enter the deep mountains alone. That explained why he was worried about An Jiuyue and did not want her to live on the mountain. However, he knew she would not listen to him.

n

n…

n

nThere were many medicinal herbs in the mountains, especially deep within.

n

nAlthough they were not particularly valuable herbs, they were good enough for An Jiuyue, who wanted to grow them to earn points. She could also use them to treat some common illnesses.

n

n“Master, there are medicinal herbs everywhere!” Wei Na could not resist exclaiming as it watched her throw bundles of medicinal herbs into the space.

n

nAn Jiuyue rolled her eyes. “How are they everywhere?”

n

nQian Jiyun had gone to chase after a deer, and she took the opportunity to rush to find more herbs and throw them into her space. It was not because there was an abundance of medicinal herbs.

n

n“Do you think we’re walking inside a medicinal herb garden? We’re deep in the mountains! The trees are tall, and the forest is dense. We can’t expect to find a lot of medicinal herbs here—finding some is good enough.”

n

nAfter Wei Na heard what she said, it looked at the medicinal herbs in the space with disdain.

n

n“That’s true.”

n

nThe medicinal herbs did not look very healthy as they had been dug out from the bushes and were shielded from the sun. Furthermore, there had been prolonged rain recently, so the leaves had turned yellow.

n

n“These herbs are drooping. They don’t look good,” it remarked.

n

n“You…!”

n

nWhen it saw that she was about to reprimand it again, it quickly added, “However, they will grow well after they’re planted in your space. Don’t you agree, Master?”

n

n“Please dig up more herbs while your man is not around. I would really like to help you if I could leave my space,” it continued helplessly.

n

nWhile it could take care of everything in the space, it could not do anything outside.

n

nAn Jiuyue retorted angrily, “Do I need you to remind me?”

n

nShe did not know when Qian Jiyun would return, but she knew she had to take advantage of this to find more herbs, of course.

n

n…

n

nThe people in the An Clan Village were calm as nobody had contracted the disease.

n

nHowever, some appeared to not want this peace anymore as they were tired of eating wild vegetables and boiled fish.

n

n“Mother, we have to think of a way to earn money. We can’t continue living like this, right?”
