Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s-Chapter 82 Snake Skin

Rumors really can’t be trusted.

However, Chiang Xiao truly believed the mountain was dangerous.

In the grass, they found a shed snake skin, not knowing when it had been shed, but it looked big, definitely from a formidable snake. If she had encountered it, the Snake Repellent Plaster wouldn’t have been very effective.

They also came across a few venomous snakes, some of which slithered away due to the Snake Repellent Plaster, but two were hanging from a tree and silently dropped down from above. If Chiang Songhai hadn’t been experienced and immediately used a long stick to fend them off, Chiang Xiao might have been bitten without even realizing it.

Chiang Xiao broke into a cold sweat several times and managed to suppress much of her excitement.

They had also seen wild boar tracks, luckily without encountering one.

"Grandpa didn’t deceive you, the path we’re taking is one I’ve walked many times before. I’ve also sprinkled some medicine powder along the road’s edge, so it’s relatively safe," Chiang Songhai said. "You can’t just wander off anywhere else."

Chiang Xiao nodded her head.

If she were to go up Bai Gu Mountain again, she’d indeed have to wait until she was more capable.

Luckily, she hadn’t been reckless this time and had come with her grandpa.

This stream was the upper reaches of Nameless Creek.

With it being noon, the two chose rocks by the creek to sit down and rest.

Chiang Xiao passed two scallion pancakes to her grandpa, and she also began to eat with big bites.

Although her health had improved a lot, after walking the mountain path all morning and digging up so many herbs, she didn’t realize how exhausted she was until she sat down and felt her arms were weak and sore.

With such physical condition, going into the mountains alone was definitely not possible.

"Eh, did you make this pancake?" asked Chiang Songhai after taking a bite. It was not his wife’s cooking. Chiang Xiao was making them this morning when he hadn’t gotten up, so he didn’t know.

Chiang Xiao nodded, "Yes, Grandpa, do you think it’s tasty?"

Chiang Songhai suddenly found the pancake in his hand tasted even better.

"Delicious, it’s really delicious." Chiang Songhai had never tasted Chiang Xiao’s pancakes before. In the past, the most she did was help wash rice and cook porridge.

Chiang Xiao watched as he devoured the pancake and felt somewhat amused.

Didn’t Grandpa find it strange that she suddenly knew how to make pancakes? This morning, Grandma didn’t seem to find anything odd either and didn’t ask her about it.

But since he didn’t ask or suspect anything, Chiang Xiao found it more convenient.

In her previous life, she didn’t know how to cook while living in Siyang Village, but after Deng Qingjiang took her out, she actually learned to cook. Now she realized just how much her grandparents had doted on her in the village.

"Grandpa, can the snake skin we saw earlier be used for medicine too?"

Chiang Songhai smiled upon hearing her question, "Yes, Grandpa caught a bit of luck today. That skin was shed very intact, it could sell for more money."

Actually, it was Chiang Xiao who found that snake skin. It lay over the grass, unbroken. From a distance, it looked just like a big snake lying there, giving her quite a scare.

When Chiang Songhai took a closer look and realized it was a snake skin, he picked it up to sell at the town’s medicine store later.

Chiang Songhai was tired too, sitting on the rock in the sun he felt a bit sleepy.

"Little, I’m going to shut my eyes for a bit here, don’t wander off," he said.

If he didn’t rest a while, he was afraid he’d be too tired to walk back in the afternoon.

Although just closing his eyes, Chiang Songhai was still vigilant, placing the shovel by his side.

"I won’t wander off, Grandpa. I’m just going over there," said Chiang Xiao, pointing to a big tree not far away.

Chiang Songhai guessed she needed to relieve herself and nodded.

"Come back quickly, shout immediately if anything happens."
