Chapter 41: “Jiang Wu, if you hadn’t found me that day...” Du Yinsui hadn’t concealed anything these past days, knowing suspicions would surface eventually. Truthfully, she wanted Jiang Wu and the others to sense it, so when the time came, they’d be prepared and it wouldn’t feel too abrupt. But as adults, shouldn’t they have understood without words? The real issue was Du Yinsui hadn’t decided when or how to leave. Yet leaving was inevitable. The poison inside her remained, only…-

Chapter 42: The fleeting warmth that brushed across the back of Jiang Wu's hand made him freeze momentarily. Returning to the stable, he carefully touched the pen and ink one by one, finally relaxing as he hugged a large turnip. A heart that had been unsettled for many days finally found peace at that moment. Beside him, Du Yinsui chewed on hawthorn candy given by the little one while watching Jiang Wu handle everything with such care and affection. She couldn't help but smile, "Do you like it so…

Chapter 40: "When... are you leaving?" Jiang Wu said Du Yinsui probably wouldn't leave so soon, but deep down, he wasn't sure at all. What he spoke was just a hopeful wish. As the sky slowly darkened, the other firewood-gathering teams led by guards returned one after another. At first, Jiang Wu and Qin Chongli weren't too worried. After all, Du Yinsui often found wild animals, so her group taking longer than others was normal. But when night fell completely and only the group led by Zheng Yi…

Chapter 39: "It wouldn’t be so soon. We hadn’t learned yet..." Instant noodles, milk tea, hot pot, boxed meals... Holding a large stone, then adding a small one, then another small stone... The forest’s fragrance, the floral sea’s aroma, the open plain’s breath... Wild sheep neck, roe deer neck, deer neck... Imagine encountering begging children, fallen elders, unseen cries for help, carrying a "secret order" from superiors, or delivering a friend’s letter... Every day…

Chapter 38: Jiang Wu couldn't quite imagine what creature would require a slit throat next. Du Yinsui valued useful people. Jiang Wu had sensed this even before the little one plainly stated it that night. Perhaps that’s partly why she’d eagerly learned from the youngsters how to climb trees for bird eggs or make tasty mixed dishes. She longed for Du Yinsui’s approving gaze and words of praise—driving her to strive harder. Yet Jiang Wu never imagined striving would demand... *this* much. After…

Chapter 37: "She Likes Useful People." Du Yinsui had her best sleep since crossing over. Ginseng was indeed different from wild grass. Two roots consumed brought internal warmth that effectively eased the midnight poison attacks. Last night's pain barely reached twenty percent of what she'd endured at Sanqiao Post Station initially. Du Yinsui felt only slight discomfort before falling back asleep. Come morning, she tested her injured left hand and leg. Yesterday's fracture pain had faded to a…

Chapter 35: "I Don't Want to Knock You Out. Or Do You?" The journey back felt long—so long that Du Yinsui found herself repeatedly frowning as she watched the two figures curled up on the cart. Yet it also felt short, so short that they’d nearly reached the village before finally settling how to divide the unearthed ginseng. Before hiring Tan Wang, Du Yinsui had already discussed this matter with the Qin family and Jiang Wu. An intact ginseng fetched far higher prices, so chopping it in…

Chapter 36: "She is kind to you, but do not call her mother." The doctor’s arrival went smoothly, but trouble arose as he was leaving. He had barely stepped out from Du Yinsui's side room when several rushing women frightened him back inside. They were Liu family members who had heard rumors and came to seize the doctor. Liu Yaozu didn't come; it was his three wives, bringing the children. The three children looked quite pitiful, with either broken heads or limping legs, but the prison…

Chapter 34: It's Not Like That! Let Me Explain!!! Tan Wang stood under the towering cypress tree, silent for a moment before turning to the cart behind him. "This cypress tree? What's next?" On the cart, Du Yinsui raised her hand toward the path left of the cypress. Having traveled from the ginkgo to this cypress, Tan Wang now believed Du Yinsui had indeed come here—about sixty percent certain. But when she came and whether ginseng truly existed remained to be seen. "Move out." Tan…

Chapter 33: How Du Yinsui Encountered Her Own Foolish and Embarrassing Moment If she had followed her apocalyptic habit of finishing off enemies in one strike, the worst of those three troublemakers from that morning would’ve ended up with at least one broken leg. He wouldn’t dare commit evil again—even thinking of it would remind him of that beating. But this wasn’t the apocalypse. The people around her couldn’t withstand fierce retaliation. Du Yinsui held back, though seeing the little…
