After few seconds the emotions settled
It can be seen that the Previous Host has successfully left this body
A sudden sharp pang twisted her stomach.
Hunger.
Real, vicious hunger.
Her body swayed slightly as she steadied herself against the bed frame.
First priority, she decided coldly. I need food to avoid dying like the previous owner.
Yes, the previous owner died of starvation without her family even knowing.
At this rate, I'll die of starvation before anything else, after just waking up from the dead.
Jie-jie…
The small voice broke her thoughts.
Lin Chengyuan stared at her anxiously. He had been watching his elder sister the whole time, confused by the strange expressions that crossed her face: pain, shock, something unreadable. Finally, her features settled into calm stillness.
Just too calm.
She lifted her eyes and looked at him.
Focused Sharp.
The boy shivered.
Something about his Jie-jie felt different today maybe because she has being sick.
For the first time, fear flickered in his eyes, not of her grandmother, but of the quiet certainty now sitting behind Lin Jingyao's gaze.
Jie Jie,here is the bun remaining have some to eat until we get something to eat at dinner .
Processing her memory she knew that might likely not get anything for dinner because of the grandmother anger today .
Ayuan, you can eat it Jie Jie will find something else to eat.Even though she was hungry she refused to eat her younger brother bun knowing fully well that might be his only breakfast.
Looking outside it's still early in the morning. I will have to find something to eat quickly and think of how to make some money .Because every money earned by the all the family members is usually given to the grandmother for save keeping as a sign of being filal to one's parents .
Ayuan, I'm going to the mountain I will be back soon, Lin Jingyao informs her brother while she struggles to leave the courtyard with all her strength.
Jie Jie it's not safe in the mountains
I know I just want to take a look in the entrance i won't enter don't worry especially with this weak body she whispers the last part to her self .
While walking the mountain path,Lin Jingyao takes it as a opportunity to free her mind up.
I can't believe I'm really alive she touches her self and screams out of excitement so this how it feels to be one of those characters in web novels who are reborn but so far I haven't seen any golden finger she thought sheepishly
The journey to the mountain isn't long but for Lin Jingyao who just flashed back from hells gate it was worst than any kind of torture as she slowly approaches the mountain which directly faced their village .
Xuanyu mountain direct face's the entrance of the pear blossom Village but from a considerable distance however villages would hardly enter it except little children who would pick woods from the entrance aside form that nobody dared to enter except brave hunters who won't still explore deep most hunters would rather go forward to the other mountains out of fear of the wild life in the mountain hurting them especially after a Tiger killed a powerful hunter from a neighboring village and what was left of him was so sorrowfully.
Because of this mountain Xuanyu can be said to be a Golden throne containing different animals and medical herbs but villager have come to agree that it was better to be alive than dead with no where to spend the money
However Lin Jingyao still entered the mountain, if it's filled with treasures as folks claim she has to find something that she can sell to have some money in her pocket.
Clenching herself while holding on top trees on the path she enters deeply into the forest , looking around Mount Xuanyu looks very beautiful with a serene environment sun light seeps from the top with huge mountain trees blocking most of it out learning the mountain warm and bright.
As she enter more while holding the tree she notices that her current location seems very sloppy
Ah ah ah, Lin Jingyao screams out of fear as rolls down
I can't really be dying again after being reborn .
As she reopens her eyes, she looks back and further and notices that the distance from where she was standing before and where she is standing now isn't that far
Hahaha coward me she thought I was about to fall to my death
Standing up and dusting her clothes
She notices that the slope seems to be a natural habitat for for wild herbs of all kind.
She notices some herbs which she is very familiar with and those which she only read about but had gone extinct in her past life. Some could only be found in high tech laboratories which the public couldn't see but as a genius doctor she hard access to them so she could recognize them.
She sighted Wild Ginseng,Cordyceps,
Dendrobium and many others.
She carefully kneels to dig out a ginseng. 500 years old ! Damn we won't even if a ginseng of this quality in the future.
Unfortunately I can't dig them all up and store them
As she reaches to touch another ginseng she notices it disappear
What just happened now
Lin Jingyao stretches out her hand to touch another and notices same thing but the 500 years old ginseng still remained in her hand
Her heart starts to beat fast as her mind wonders is it my golden finger that's that ?
What's even my golden finger and why is it stealing my ginseng without my permission .
As she stands up and looks around she finally notices a change in her environment
Ehnnnnn what just happened where am I ?
