Chapter 65 - 064 Break into the Back Mountain
Thinking about it carefully, this still didn't feel secure enough. Tian Sangsang exchanged for a stun baton and a dagger in her space. If she couldn't dodge in time and got stuck, she'd use these two weapons to defend herself first.
Naturally, there was no way she could bring her son to the back mountain. She couldn't completely guarantee her own life, so how could she dare to bring a little one along? It was definitely safer to let him stay home alone.
Tian Sangsang walked along the farmhouse, left the property, and saw the wide river at the village entrance. Crossing the road and heading forward led to a mountain trail. On both sides of the trail were rows of trees. After walking for a while, her eyes were met with green mountains and clear waters. Glancing at the creek from last time, she spotted clams, oysters, razor clams, and baby sea clams—these were all things Tian Sangsang loved to eat. When cooking noodles, she usually added oysters, though they needed to be mixed with some sweet potato flour. Dried razor clams were used for making bone broth, which was very nourishing.
Bending down, Tian Sangsang picked five of each of the four kinds of seafood. No need to gather too much, since once placed in her space, they would rapidly multiply.
Tian Sangsang wasn't surprised by the presence of seafood in the creek—after all, the world was vast, and there was no shortage of strange phenomena. There were always things that defied common sense. After all, nothing could be more unbelievable than transmigration and rebirth, which had already happened to her.
Before her, a series of peaks cradled the horizon. Between two of the peaks lay a narrow path, and along it ran a winding creek. Tian Sangsang followed the creek deeper into the mountains. The deeper she went, the cooler it became. Wisps of fog, somewhere between ethereal and tangible, floated in the air. Ancient trees loomed one after another, while thick grass carpeted the ground beneath her steps.
"Coo... Coo..." Unknown birds called out, their cries echoing in Tian Sangsang's ears.
She wasn't particularly afraid. She'd gone hiking in forests during past trips to certain places. Back then, it truly had been an expanse of lush greenery where sunlight could only filter through gaps in the towering trees. The canopy blocked most of the sky, and the forest trail exuded tranquility. At the time, she'd walked and imagined scenarios like wild boars charging out of nowhere, or discovering some ancient tomb. The mere thought of it had her blood boiling. Maybe every person harbors a hidden adventurer within.
Modern urban life is far too stressful, busy, and monotonous—heading outdoors is the perfect way to unwind.
