Chapter 77

Feifei found the most medicinal herbs, even surpassing Xia Yunxuan.

Xia Yunxuan showered Feifei with praise, “You’re amazing! I should have brought you out sooner if I knew you were this good.”

“Humph, sister, you finally know how awesome I am. You thought I was only good at fighting, but finding herbs and treasures is my forte.”

“No matter where it is, as long as there are treasures hidden, no matter how deep they are, I can find them.” Feifei finished with a proud air, shaking its petals, looking like the best in the world.

Xia Yunxuan and Feifei spent a whole afternoon on the back mountain, collecting many good things. They even saw a musk deer. Feifei was ecstatic, telling Xia Yunxuan that the deer antlers were valuable. Xia Yunxuan didn’t hesitate, and while the deer was distracted, she quickly stored it in her space.

Xia Yunxuan was also very happy and said narcissistically, “Feifei, do you think I’m the protagonist of this world? Look at all these treasures I’ve come across. Am I the daughter of Heaven?”

Feifei said, “Sister, stop being so vain. Protagonist? You’d be lucky to be Heaven’s illegitimate daughter.”

Xia Yunxuan rolled her eyes, “Feifei, can’t you cooperate with me? You always have to dampen my mood. I’m not playing with you anymore. I have to go back and cook something delicious for my little brother. I need to fatten him up so I can get my hands on him.”

Hearing her sister’s shameless words, Feifei slipped and almost fell flat on its face. It said resentfully, “Sister, do you have any shame? What about your dignity? Didn’t you say you wanted to be a queen? Aren’t you practically throwing yourself at him?”

Humph, Xia Yunxuan snorted, “Stinky Feifei, you’re just a sunflower seed, what do you know? My little brother is so good, I have to grab him quickly. What if someone else steals him? Then your sister will be alone for the rest of her life.”

“I’m a queen, but I don’t mind having a handsome man by my side. You have to seize the day, you know? Life is short.”

Xia Yunxuan put Feifei in her space and sat on Duanyue’s back, heading down the mountain. With Duanyue as her mount, Xia Yunxuan felt very comfortable. She held a dogtail grass in her hand and played with it happily.

Thinking about the large sum of money she would earn tonight, she laughed like a silly girl from a landlord’s family. Duanyue shook its head, unable to watch anymore. It didn’t know what kind of fit its owner was having.

When they were almost out of the deep mountains and reached the back mountain, Xia Yunxuan put Duanyue in her space and released Yuan Bao and Chen Bao. She even made them roll in the mud to get dirty, so it looked like they were found on the back mountain.

She also carried a load of firewood on her back, holding Chen Bao and Yuan Bao in her hands. The children who were cutting grass saw the two dogs in Xia Yunxuan’s hands. Of course, they didn’t know they were wolves.

Yuan Bao and Chen Bao were held by Xia Yunxuan, sticking out their tongues, being very well-behaved. Xia Yunxuan fed them milk every meal, and the two little guys probably thought of Xia Yunxuan as their mother.

Xia Yunxuan returned home, first placing the two puppies in the yard, and then started preparing dinner. She skillfully chopped vegetables and stir-fried dishes. Soon, the kitchen was filled with a delicious aroma.

After the work bell rang, Gu Beihui and Xiao Yichen returned for dinner. While eating, they discussed Xia Yunge and the matter of her and Xia Yunyan carrying manure tomorrow morning. Xia Yunyan finally returned in the afternoon, and everyone was shocked to see her. She was no longer human.

Her hair was messy, dirty, and smelly. Her eyes were sunken, and she had dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn’t slept for days and nights. If her face was a little whiter, she would look like a zombie. She avoided people, constantly muttering, “Don’t hit me, don’t hit me.”

As night fell, the phone alarm went off at nine o’clock. Xia Yunxuan quietly went out, without waking anyone up. She walked far out of the village before taking out her electric bike and riding towards town.

After arriving at the old spot, Xia Yunxuan brought out all the goods she was going to trade. She also disguised the ground, making it look like many people had been there. After everything was ready, Xia Yunxuan checked her watch. It was eight minutes before ten o’clock.

As the time approached, Xia Yunxuan saw the signal she had agreed upon with Brother Li. She also took out her flashlight and flashed it three times. Brother Li then came out with his men to trade with Xia Yunxuan.

When Brother Li arrived, he saw the ground full of goods and was overjoyed. He thought that after selling so many goods this time, he should move to a new place.

Without saying a word, Brother Li ordered his men to start counting the goods. The more they counted, the happier they became. These were all high-quality goods. He didn’t know where this young man got them, but he understood the rules of the trade and didn’t dare to ask about the source of the goods.

Half an hour later, the men finished counting all the goods and said, “Boss, we’ve finished counting the goods. The quantity is more than enough, and they’re all top-notch.” Brother Li was also very happy. He took out the money and the old objects he had prepared and completed the transaction with Xia Yunxuan.

Looking at the large box of money and the jewelry and paintings, Xia Yunxuan was delighted. She carefully put away the old objects. These were all treasures. After checking that everything was in order, she picked up her things and left.

Arriving nearby, Xia Yunxuan put the things in her space, got on her motorcycle, and headed home.

She wasn’t afraid to be alone. She hummed a tune, and after about ten minutes, she arrived at the village entrance. She put the motorcycle in her space and quietly returned to her little nest without waking anyone up.

As soon as she entered her space, she saw all the money and old objects she had earned that night, and she kept muttering, “I’ve made a fortune, I’ve made a fortune.”

Feifei couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Sister, can you have some aspirations? What haven’t you seen? It’s just a little money and old objects, is it worth it?”

Xia Yunxuan said, “Feifei, you don’t understand. These old objects are worthless now, but in the future, they’ll be auctioned for millions, even hundreds of millions at least. Don’t you think it’s exciting?”

Feifei poured cold water on her, “But it’s the 1970s now, not the future. Now, these things can only be exchanged for a few buns at most.”

“Feifei, you look down on these things now, but you’ll know how valuable they are in a few decades.”

Xia Yunxuan put the money in a cabinet. Looking at the full box of money, she felt a sense of accomplishment. This was the money she had earned in the 1970s.

She had two or three thousand yuan. What did a ten-thousand-yuan household mean in this era? Some people only earned ten or twenty yuan a month, and they had to support a whole family.

She was now a real dog-rich person. How could she not be excited? Now, she was ready for the spring breeze of reform and opening up. She would definitely make a fortune then.
