Chapter 173: Spirit Essence of All Things, Dividing the Meat

This experience of leaning on each other, feeling each other's presence, is truly wonderful! Time, please move slowly~

“Qingxin, do you know what’s inside the little porcelain bottle Mom gave me yesterday?” Gao Shen suddenly recalled the meeting gift from his mother-in-law and couldn’t help but ask.

Jing Qingxin glanced over and said, “It should be an ointment made from Mom’s essence.”

“Essence?” Gao Shen asked, his eyes darkening.

“Yes. My mother has a ‘Crystal of All Things’ within her body. It can sense the emotions of everything in the world and even communicate with awakened plants and animals. Because it gathers the purest essence between heaven and earth into a single crystal, it has the power to heal life force. As long as there’s a trace of vitality left, it can restore life!”

Pausing briefly, Jing Qingxin went on, “So my mother’s blood is different. To exaggerate a little, it’s almost like a miracle drug. The blood is mixed with some herbs and made into an ointment. Just a tiny bit diluted with water and applied to a wound can penetrate the body, nourish the life force, and speed up recovery.”

“That powerful? The gift Mom gave is truly precious. Next time you go home, you must help me thank her properly!” Gao Shen said moved.

“I think Mom understands your work situation, and with the current instability, she probably gave it to you for protection. Taking good care of yourself is the best way to thank her,” Jing Qingxin said thoughtfully.

“Don’t worry, I will. By the way, how is this ointment different from the medicine you used to heal my leg injury before?” Gao Shen asked with curiosity.

“There’s definitely a difference. My mother’s ointment is a rapid remedy, meant to save lives! It can quickly repair internal vitality and heal external wounds,” Jing Qingxin explained clearly.

Gao Shen nodded knowingly and praised, “That’s truly amazing!”

If such an ointment were available, then the soldiers fighting on the front lines wouldn’t lose so many young lives in vain! Unfortunately, this ointment is so rare it can’t be mass-produced.

Gao Shen felt both regretful and deeply moved!

After chatting for a while longer, they decided it was about time and headed toward the nearby traps.

Seeing the prey caught in the traps, both Jing Qingxin and Gao Shen were delighted—what a bountiful harvest!

One trap held only a single wild boar, but the entire pit was filled by its bulky body, probably weighing over two hundred pounds!

The other three traps contained two wild boars weighing fifty to sixty pounds each, six pheasants, four rabbits, and one muntjac.

They decided to gift the large boar to the production team for sharing, while keeping the rest for themselves.

After collecting the other beasts, Jing Qingxin stayed with Gao Shen to guard the spot as she took two pheasants down the mountain to fetch help. There was no way the two of them could carry that enormous boar down alone!

Since the boar was a gift for the production team, it made sense for others to carry it—it was only fitting.

On her way down, Jing Qingxin happened to meet the Li family’s four members returning from work. She explained the situation and asked Li Da Hu to summon Captain Li and four others to bring a stretcher or wooden plank to carry the boar down.

Upon hearing this, Li Yougen and his son immediately went to the captain’s house. It was just the time when everyone was finishing their farm work and heading home, so many people walking in groups saw the father and son’s joyful and excited expressions and quickly inquired.

Li Yougen and his son readily explained about the wild boar. Knowing that Gao Shen and Jing Qingxin intended to share it with the team, they didn’t keep it a secret. When asked, they spoke frankly and even subtly praised the couple’s kindness and understanding.

Hearing this, the crowd erupted in excitement. No one went home; instead, many enthusiastically volunteered to go into the mountain to help!

By the time Li Yougen found Captain Li, a large group of strong young men was already following behind them, all eager to assist.

Upon learning the news, Captain Li was also touched and delighted. His admiration for Gao Shen and Jing Qingxin grew even stronger. He silently thanked his lucky stars for not refusing Gao Shen’s request to stay in their village to recover.

Captain Li quickly selected several strong youths, then gathered a large wooden plank, ropes, and some farming tools for defense. Led by Li Da Hu, the group hurried into the mountain.

Those villagers not called upon were not upset. Some spread the news throughout the village, and others followed behind, waiting at the mountain’s base, eager to see the big wild boar. It had been many years since their village last saw such a prize!

Everyone knew the back mountain was home to fierce beasts, so no one dared hunt there regularly. If food was scarce, they might take a chance at the mountain’s edge, catching pheasants or rabbits—anything was a blessing.

In no time, the villagers finishing work heard the news and stopped preparing dinner. People of all ages rushed to the mountain foot, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the hunters.

After explaining the situation to Li Yougen and his son, Jing Qingxin returned home with Aunt Li and her daughter. With so many people involved, she didn’t want to add to the commotion. As long as Gao Shen was there, that was enough!
