Chapter 144

144 Good Luck on the Mountain (2)

When Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran disappeared, two people walked out of a concave pit not far away.

These two people were none other than Pei Xuanxin and Li Yan, who had received the news about the reishi mushroom.

Li Yan knew that Pei Xuan would definitely come to find reishi mushrooms immediately after receiving the news.

So today, she waited on the path up Chicken Head Mountain.

The heavens didn’t disappoint!

She had really awaited Pei Xuanxin!

Pei Xuanxin was shocked to see Li Yan coming up the mountain with the scimitar.

“Miss Li Yan, is your shoulder injury serious? Why don’t I help you?” Pei Xuanxin was still very grateful to Li Yan, so he didn’t think too much about it. He just wanted to help Li Yan.

“I have nothing to do. I just went up the mountain to find some herbs. My injury looks scary, but it’s actually not a big deal. I can carry some herbs!” Li Yan naturally couldn’t say that she was here to improve her relationship with Pei Xuanxin, so she found an excuse.

Pei Xuanxin thought that Li Yan was just like him and wanted to save money, so he didn’t say anything else.

And so the two of them traveled together, looking around for herbs and reishi mushroom.

As soon as the two of them arrived, they heard some commotion. They looked around and realized that Li Xiaoran had almost fallen.

Fortunately, they were a little far away, so Pei Xuanxin didn’t see Li Xiaoran’s face clearly.

Li Yan naturally recognized Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng. Her expression was dark.

She really didn’t expect Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran to go up the mountain.

Li Yan originally wanted to bring Pei Xuanxin in another direction, but after some thought, she felt that she should follow Li Xiaoran.

In her previous life, Li Xiaoran and Li Shun found reishi mushrooms, so they might find reishi mushrooms in this life as well.

Therefore, only by following Li Xiaoran could she get reishi mushrooms.

Thinking of this, Li Yan felt assured.

As long as she had the reishi mushroom, everything would be easy!

As for Pei Xuanxin and Li Xiaoran, she had nothing to worry about.

The two of them got married in her previous life. In this life, Li Xiaoran was already married, so it was naturally impossible for Pei Xuanxin to marry Li Xiaoran again.

Therefore, even if the two of them saw each other, it wouldn’t affect anything.

After making up her mind, Li Yan said to Pei Xuanxin, “I know that man from just now. He seems to be a hunter from our village. I think it might be easier for us to find reishi mushrooms if we follow them!”

Pei Xuanxin was relying on luck to begin with. Now that he couldn’t find the reishi mushroom even after searching for a while, he was a little anxious.

As soon as Li Yan said this, Pei Xuanxin also felt that this was an opportunity.

It was better to follow the hunter than to wander around the mountains alone!

“Alright, let’s follow them!” Pei Xuanxin nodded and agreed to Li Yan’s suggestion.

Just like that, the two of them followed Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran from afar.

Who was Luo Cheng? How could he be followed so easily?

Before long, Luo Cheng looked in the direction they had come.

As if confirming something, Luo Cheng smiled and pulled Li Xiaoran to speed up.

When they crossed a hill and Li Yan and Pei Xuanxin followed, they suddenly realized that they had lost track of Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran.

There was nothing they could do now. They could only find a place to sit down and rest before heading in a random direction.

After shaking off the two people behind him, Luo Cheng slowed down.

“Husband, was someone following us previously?” Li Xiaoran asked.

“That’s right, a man and a woman were following us! You know the woman too. She’s Li Yan. As for the man, he’s very unfamiliar. He doesn’t seem to be from our village!” Luo Cheng nodded and replied.

“No wonder. No wonder I sensed two anxious emotions earlier. So someone was really following me! It seems that Li Yan hasn’t given up and is waiting to find the reishi mushroom!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and sneered. “She miscalculated!”

“No, if we hadn’t lost them, they might have really found it!” Luo Cheng suddenly said, “Look!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she suddenly had a very bad feeling.

Sure enough, on the way forward, beside a bush, there was another reishi mushroom.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran only wanted to sigh!

Could it be that her persona was getting more and more stable? There was no possibility of ruining it at all!

Luo Cheng brought Li Xiaoran to a pine tree and let her lean on it.

After confirming that Li Xiaoran wasn’t in danger, Luo Cheng carried the deer and picked the reishi mushroom before putting it in a cloth bag on his body.

“As expected, my wife is blessed! We can find good things as soon as we climbed the mountain! First, it’s a deer, and then it’s a reishi mushroom! I used to walk around this area often, but why haven’t I ever seen a reishi mushroom?” Luo Cheng walked over and teased after taking the things.

Li Xiaoran widened her eyes and looked at Luo Cheng with an innocent expression.

“Husband, would you believe me if I told you that I’m just like a blind cat that encountered a dead rat?”

Luo Cheng studied Li Xiaoran’s appearance and shook his head. “No! You’re not a blind cat, and this is not a dead rat!”

With that, Luo Cheng smiled and held Li Xiaoran’s hand before continuing in.

It was unknown how Luo Cheng had walked the rest of the way.

Anyway, it was winding and there were weeds or low bushes everywhere.

Li Xiaoran was already disoriented. She felt that she would definitely get lost if she entered the mountain alone.

Finally, just as Li Xiaoran was feeling dizzy, a flat valley suddenly appeared in front of her.

In the valley, there stood a house built of stone.

“We’re here!” Luo Cheng said as he led Li Xiaoran over.

Soon, the two of them were in front of the stone house.

After taking out the key, Luo Cheng opened the door and a smell rushed out.

Luo Cheng pushed open the door and carefully sized up the house before walking out again.

After placing the tied deer at the door, Luo Cheng said to Li Xiaoran, “I haven’t been here for a long time. The house smells bad. Let’s ventilate it first. Rest on the stone bench outside!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and went straight to the stone table not far from the stone house.

It had to be said that after climbing for so long, Li Xiaoran felt exhausted.

As she gently thumped her calf, Li Xiaoran admired the beautiful scenery in the valley.

She had to admit, the valley was beautiful.

She didn’t think so before, but now that she sat down, she realized that the valley was actually very cozy. The weeds around her were green and withered.
