Chapter Thirty-Seven: Encountering Favor
Song Jie habitually looked in the direction of the squirrel's escape, but found something hidden on the branches, occasionally reflecting a flash of light with the scattered sunlight.
Song Jie strained her neck and looked up, what was it? Could it be something good?
Adhering to the principle of "it's better to kill by mistake than to let one go", Song Jie relied on her agility and climbed up the tree with great effort. The tree was originally extremely tall and lush, and if it weren't for its many branches, she might not have been able to climb up at all.
Climbing onto a branch, Song Jie straddled the tree with her legs apart, panting heavily, her pale face flushed bright red. After finally catching her breath, Song Jie looked up at the branches above her head.
This is not a big deal, but she stared with wide eyes, my god! The lingzhi mushroom was as big as a plate, and it was purple, like a large umbrella covering several dense deep red small lingzhi mushrooms underneath.
Song Jie was so excited that her heart seemed to have stopped beating, the ultimate purple ginseng, only existed in legend, the ultimate purple ginseng! It's now, if it's in the future, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the Shennong Platform to find it.
This is almost a treasure, Song Jie couldn't help but sigh that the ancestors' saying of "bitter before sweet" was indeed true. Otherwise, wouldn't she have been unlucky when going out and then all good things would come to her?
At this time, Song Jie's mind was a bit confused, and he could still think of the bitter before the sweet, it can be seen that he was really excited and had a lot of random thoughts.
Song Jie wasn't someone who was easily tempted by money, but with such a treasure in front of her, not being excited would be stupid. Perhaps seeing how excited she was herself, she secretly scolded herself "don't be too shallow", her expression turned serious for a moment, but it didn't take more than a few seconds before she grinned again.
Song Jie stretched out her hand to pick the purple fungus, but suddenly stopped halfway. Isn't it said that treasures need to be protected by spiritual objects? And most of these spiritual objects are large snakes. Thinking of this, her small hand curled up and withdrew back.
She was most afraid of snakes, what to do if there were snakes? Song Jie's eyes rolled around quickly, without a good solution, she could only stare at Zi Zhu tightly.
To take or not to take? She was hesitant for a moment, thinking that if this purple ginseng fell into someone else's hands in the future, she would be heartbroken. Thinking that someone would say in the future that they had also seen this purple ginseng before, but because of the snake, they didn't dare to pick it up and gave up, which allowed her to take advantage of the situation, she was furious.
No way, I must get Zizhi in hand, if not, run to space to take refuge.
Having made up her mind, Song Jie no longer hesitated. She stretched out her small hand and grasped the purple bamboo shoots, pulling them out by the roots. In the process of doing so, she also pulled up a few smaller ones due to her flustered state.
Song Jie stood still after being pulled out, as if she had been struck by a acupuncture point, her small ears listening to the movements around her.
One second... one minute... nothing...
Song Jie was like a deflated balloon, instantly softened, nothing happened at all, it was just a scare, and after hesitating for so long, nothing came of it, it was really like punching a cotton ball.
Since nothing happened, she was fully revived on the spot and quickly picked up the remaining small red beans with her nimble hands and feet, throwing them all into space to cultivate with spiritual power.
After doing all this, she felt her legs go numb. Just now was really too nervous, resulting in some stagnation of qi and blood. Song Jie felt suffocated, it's all because of acting.
Getting down from the tree was easy, and with a thud, she reached the ground. Her bare feet touched the earth, and her heart finally felt at ease. But as soon as she thought of the treasure, she couldn't help but think again...
Continue to jump forward happily, the air around is sweet and fragrant. Song Jie walks and stops, collecting species she has never seen before, but there are no longer such extreme ones.
Song Jie didn't disappoint either. If all good things were obtained by himself, then his luck would be too against the sky, and he might not be able to live a peaceful life.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes behind her. Song Jie quickly turned her head, but there was nothing? Maybe it was some small animal, she thought to herself and nodded in agreement with her own answer, then turned back around and continued walking forward.
Not far away, this rustling sound came again. Song Jie was no longer calm, it must not be a coincidence, there must be something behind her.
She turned her head again, and there was still no movement...
Song Jie's big eyes rolled around, and she came up with an idea. She continued walking forward without stopping, actually paying attention to the movement behind her. Sure enough, the sound started again.
This time she didn't stop or turn around, pretending not to hear and continuing to walk forward at a steady pace without any abnormalities. The noise behind her grew louder, making her even more certain that something was following her. At this moment, her mind was racing quickly - what exactly was it?
Song Jie was walking quickly, when she suddenly turned her head back, spun around and saw what was in front of her. Her mouth opened wide and her eyes stared widely, it was truly astonishing.
Always following behind her was a small white fox with brown big eyes, because of Song Jie's sudden turn around it also got a great fright, keeping the right front leg raised in a comical posture, its tail erected high and slow to put down.
Song Jie was also stunned by this rather humanized little fox, isn't it cute? At this time, her mind went blank, her eyes turned red, and she only had one thought in her heart "So cute, really so cute."
The little fox saw Song Jie standing there motionless, and it naturally withdrew its front legs, even having the leisure to use its paws to tidy up the whiskers on its face. Then, with a sideways glance at Song Jie, it ran off into the distance, too lazy to spare another glance at the idiot in front of it.
Song Jie: "......"
She was as shocked as if she had been struck by lightning, and even a little fox would look down on her. She still dared to glance at people with a slanted eye, what is going on?!
Song Jie felt that all her kindness had left her and she would never love again.
She trudged along with her head hung low, continuing on her way, looking as lackluster as if she had been frostbitten.
Suddenly, the rustling sound came from behind again. Song Jie's head jerked up with a "swoosh" and her body stiffened as she walked forward, but she didn't realize that her actions had already betrayed her. At this time, she was already handcuffed...
The little fox behind saw Song Jie's embarrassing appearance, covered her mouth with her paws and started teasing her with a stifled laugh.
Song Jie was so determined, she refused to look back and continued moving forward.
The little fox sneered for half a day, seeing Song Jie ignoring it, it rolled its eyes and stepped forward "hiss" ran to the front of Song Jie and continued to howl.
Song Jie is about to explode, where did this hateful little fox come from? Earlier, she was really blind to think it was cute, although it's still very cute now, but she will never admit it.
She pouted her small mouth, continued to move forward with her chest out, occasionally glancing at the little fox with a sideways glance, and quickly withdrew her gaze before the little fox noticed...
The little fox, after all, was still an unenlightened small animal, thinking that Song Jie really didn't care about it, and became anxious. The person in front of him had taken away his own purple bamboo, and suddenly disappeared, and the spiritual energy on his body was so thick, he couldn't lose it.
As for why it's afraid of getting lost, the little fox said it didn't know either.
