"At this time in the mountains, poisonous snakes are most active, and your reckless wandering here could end badly."
Ji Ruyan looked at him and calmly pointed out his heedless intrusion.
The man wiped the mud from his face and felt the large cloth bag at his waist. Relieved to find the contents still inside, he sighed, "Yuanzhao thanks Miss Ji for saving my life. Even though I know I shouldn't be recklessly wandering the mountains at this time, I had to come."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyan raised an eyebrow, "Tell me, what are you looking for in the mountains?"
"Foraging for mushrooms to make soup for my mother."
Mushroom soup?
A light sparked in Ji Ruyan's eyes. She hadn't had it for a long time, and the mushrooms she had transplanted into her space had grown for quite a while, simply because she hadn't had the time to prepare something tasty, allowing them to grow on their own.
