Chapter 107 - Breaking Through
At the foot of the mountain, Shen Yijia frowned and looked back thoughtfully.
Madam Li had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them to return. When she saw them return, she quickly handed over the ginger soup that she had prepared.
“Hurry up and drink this. Why are you running up the mountain in the cold? It’s not like our family is lacking food.”
Shen Yijia subconsciously wanted to receive the bowl with her right hand, but she thought of something and switched to her left hand instead.
The ginger soup was at the perfect temperature. After gulping down the soup, Shen Yijia said, “I didn’t get anything today. I don’t know why, but all the prey in the mountains have disappeared.”
Song Jingchen saw her actions just now. His gaze had been on Shen Yijia’s right hand, which was hidden in her sleeve. When he heard this, he suddenly looked up at her.
“They must be hiding in the middle of winter.” Madam Li did not mind.
Lin Shao opened his mouth to say something, but Shen Yijia glared at him and he immediately shut his mouth.
Shen Yijia was satisfied.
Unexpectedly, Tuan Zi smelled blood and kept moving closer to Shen Yijia.
Shen Yijia grit her teeth and quickly made an excuse to go back to her room to change.
After returning to the house, Shen Yijia was not in a hurry to change her clothes. She first took out the lingzhi and placed it in the box she kept the wild ginseng in.
Under her persistence during this period, the wild ginseng had already filled up half of the box. Coupled with this lingzhi that was more than twice the size of her palm, the box was now full.
This was because no one would usually go into the deep mountains. These wild ginsengs were not cheap, and were much bigger than the ones she had bought for 30 taels.
Thinking that it was enough for her to upgrade the spiritual liquid, Shen Yijia decided to secretly eat it these few days.
After some thought, she took out two wild ginsengs that were about 30 to 40 years old and decided to ask Madam Li to make soup with it.
After placing the box back under the bed, Shen Yijia started to take off her clothes.
Previously, because of his excitement, she did not pay much attention. However, at this moment, she felt a burning pain in her chest, and her right palm also hurt from being scratched up.
“Do I need to throw these clothes away?” Shen Yijia muttered. Her heart ached a little as she rolled the clothes into a ball and stuffed them into the cabinet. She planned to find an opportunity to destroy the evidence.
Shen Yijia reached out her finger to condense the spiritual liquid, but she decided to hold back.
It didn’t matter if others couldn’t see her injuries. She was just afraid that Lin Shao would treat her as a demon if he knew that her injuries had completely healed so soon.
Shen Yijia scratched her head in frustration. She wouldn’t have thought so much about it back when she first arrived in this world, but things were different now. She liked her current life, so she didn’t want it to be ruined.
She took out another set of clothes from the closet and was about to put them on when the door was suddenly pushed open.
A cold wind blew in from the door. Shen Yijia turned around and met a pair of shocked eyes.
Song Jingchen only found out about Shen Yijia’s injury after asking Lin Shao. He didn’t think too much about it and wanted to come and take a look.
He did not expect to see such an awkward scene.
At this moment, Shen Yijia only had an undergarment hanging loosely on her upper body. She had untied it when she was examining her injuries and had yet to put it on.
Because of the wind that suddenly blew in, her undergarments fluttered and almost fell off.
Song Jingchen could even vaguely see the curves of the girl in front of her. His breathing tightened and he quickly turned his head away, not daring to look around.
Shen Yijia shivered in the cold wind and didn’t notice Song Jingchen’s red earlobes. She muttered, “Close the door. I’m freezing to death.”
