Happiness System

It was difficult to see at night, and they had to worry about the torches setting the forest on fire, so they walked very slowly and it took them about forty minutes to reach the cave.

The air there is humid and the grass and trees are much sparser.

With the help of torches, they had seen the location of the cave, but no one dared to act rashly. Kunshen Mountain was really mysterious and dangerous.

If Meng Yuxi didn't know some formations, they would have been trapped and suffered a lot of casualties.

Meng Yuxi took two steps forward and almost slipped because of her unstable footing.

Seeing Wen Yujin's steady steps and ignoring the moss, she simply grabbed his wrist as a crutch and took a torch with the other hand, "There is a formation over here, everyone, don't wander around, follow my steps!"

Even with the human-shaped crutch, Meng Yuxi still walked very fast, and Wen Yujin was almost knocked down by him.

"Just tell me how you want to go!"

Wen Yujin felt that it would waste time and he was worried that she would fall, so he simply picked her up.

Meng Yuxi was also tired of walking, so she simply snuggled in his arms and acted as a commander.

Because the road was slippery and the way into the cave was difficult to walk on, it took them another half an hour to enter the cave that was right in front of them.

Although the cave was moist, there was no moss to make it slippery.

Meng Yuxi asked Wen Yujin to put her down, took two steps forward, and used a torch to illuminate the small lake in the center of the cave. "So many crystals! Is it salt?"

Wen Yujin walked up to her and hadn't said a word yet when a brave guard reached out and scooped up a crystal from the lake and put it into his mouth.

"It's salt! This is ancient salt. There is no bitter and strange ancient salt in history books!"

The guard laughed out loud in surprise and wiped the crystal in his hand into the mouth of his teammate next to him.

The suffering teammate wanted to hit someone because of the saltiness of the food, but was pleasantly surprised to find ancient salt.

Wen Yujin surveyed the lake and said, "There are probably 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms of ancient salt in this small lake. We must report this!"

"Then the harvest this time should be ours, right?" Meng Yuxi knew that she couldn't keep it, but she had to fight for some benefits for her family.

Wen Yujin nodded, then told someone to go back to the camp and fetch all the sacks that could hold things. He also sent Meng Yuxi out and asked her to stay back at the camp.

Meng Yuxi was not well behaved when she returned, and took advantage of the night to plant a large field of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Before dawn, Wen Yujin and his men carried the salt crystals back.

The things they brought with them were limited and could only hold more than 3,000 kilograms of salt crystals. If they encountered the chosen food again after going down the mountain, they could only pull vines and weave a net frame to hold it.

Compared with Wen Yujin's regular team, which was alert, organized and disciplined, the Meng family, who had never received any wilderness survival training, was nothing. They made such a big move last night, but the Meng family's children, including the guards, didn't notice it at all.

The members of Wen Yujin's team brought back the salt crystals, and except for the people on duty, everyone else went back to sleep.

The people of the Meng family woke up one after another at dawn. They were ready to find a place to drain the water, and then they discovered that there were heavenly food all around!

They held back their screams and stopped releasing their physiological waste. They immediately woke everyone up and started digging sweet potatoes and potatoes together.

Fortunately, most of their previous harvests had been brought down the mountain and transported back to the city, otherwise these things would be difficult to deal with.

It should be said that it is already difficult to handle all these things now. They have less than fifty people, and there are more than 1,000 kilograms of food and medicinal materials and more than 3,000 kilograms of salt crystals that have not yet been transported down the mountain, adding up to nearly 5,000 kilograms.

On average, these things only weigh a little over 100 kilograms per person, but Meng Yuxi exerted too much force, and the things that were not dug out from the ground weighed at least 50,000 kilograms.

Famine and mutated plants have modified human functions to a great extent. For people like Wen Yujin who have undergone special training, their limit is basically around 800 kilograms. The guards of the Meng family are estimated to be around 600 kilograms, and the children of the Meng family are slightly inferior, estimated at 400 kilograms.

But they still have some energy left to deal with the wild beast that suddenly appears. If it weighs about 30,000 pounds, they can definitely take it down in one go.

But now, even without considering the problem of wild beasts, the things exceeded their carrying limit.

"We'll dig out a portion first and take it away, and leave the rest for others to continue digging!"

Wen Yujin made arrangements decisively.

The chosen food is rare and of high value, so it is impossible to give it up.

Soon everyone worked together to dig out more than 10,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and together with the original things, a total of 20,000 kilograms.

Wen Yujin's deputy took ten people and stayed behind to continue digging the remaining objects, while Wen Yujin took the others and the Meng family to go down the mountain first.

The mutant plants have a very strong ability to repair themselves. Within eight hours, or sixteen hours, the marks left on the tree trunks in order to find their way will be repaired and disappear by the plants themselves.

Wen Yujin's two personal guards carried a load of 300 meters and were responsible for clearing the way and re-deepening the mark. Meng Yuxi, as the only female, was protected and carried no load in the middle.

"Stop! The road is wrong!" Halfway through the journey, if Meng Yuxi didn't have the wood-related ability, she wouldn't have noticed something was wrong.

"what's wrong?"

We had been walking for nearly two hours and it was time to take a break, so we stopped.

Meng Yuxi reached out and rubbed the mark. "Strange, there's nothing wrong with the sign, but why is the road wrong?"

Well, she confessed that she was just a pure charlatan, she didn't understand metaphysics or formations and mechanical arts! She just relied on wood-related abilities to cheat!

"Did we take the opposite route?" Wen Yujin had a good memory and noticed something was wrong at this time, but the most important thing now was to take action first.

Meng Yuxi shook her head. "I'm not sure, but I can't go any further. I'll choose a new direction. As long as I can get down the mountain, it'll be fine, right?"

Wen Yujin nodded, he couldn't walk to death on this journey.

If their premonition is correct, they will only be trapped if they go down. If they don't go down the mountain before dark, the people at the foot of the mountain will go up according to the marks to look for them. A day later, the people on the mountain will also go down the mountain on their own. By then, everyone will be trapped in the mountain, and it will be a dead end.

"Let's rest for a while, clear a place and get something to eat first!"

Meng Yuxi continued to ponder the mark, wondering why it happened. Could this be the legendary ghost covering the eyes?

No one interrupted her thoughts, and a group of people worked together to clear a piece of space, built two fires and threw some sweet potatoes and potatoes into them.

Meng Yuxi smelled the taste and thought that it was enough. Eating sweet potatoes and potatoes every day, the choking throat and the fibers stuck in teeth, it was really enough.

While no one was paying attention, she quickly threw out a few tomato and corn seeds, and then used her supernatural powers to induce labor.

"So this is how the Chosen Food grows?"

Hearing the noise, everyone thought a wild beast was coming and stood up on guard. Unexpectedly, they saw the Chosen Food growing and maturing rapidly in front of them.

"Hey, a new species! I want to eat it!"

The reason why Meng Yuxi dared to do this was because the so-called chosen food grew in this way. Some people had really seen the chosen food grow out of thin air!

"Dayugu! Saffron!" Meng Shibai walked over and quickly recognized the two crops based on what he had learned. These were the most expensive natural fruits, and he couldn't bear to give them to his sister. "Sister Xi, these two things are worth at least ten sweet potatoes each. Be good, let's take them back and exchange..."

"Humph, I won't! I don't eat sweet potatoes either!"

Meng Yuxi went over and pulled a tomato, wiped it with a handkerchief and stuffed it into her mouth.

The taste of tomatoes ripened by special powers is naturally a little worse, 60% sweet and 40% sour. It is quite appetizing, but you can't eat too much!

After taking two bites, she broke off another corn and threw it into the fire. The corn was quite big, weighing about two pounds. Even without the cob, it was enough for her to eat.

The older brothers in the Meng family all knew that she had a bad temper and were afraid that she would go on strike, so they didn't say much when they saw her willful behavior.

Meng Shifeng, Meng Shike and Meng Yuxi were only sixteen years old, two or three months younger than her. They did not dare to follow their cousin's example and just pick and eat them.

I could only drool and ask, "Sister Xi, are saffron delicious?"

"Delicious! Sour and sweet!"

Meng Yuxi picked one for them, but the two boys didn't dare to take it because their eldest brother was glaring at them.

"Brother, why are you glaring at them?"

Meng Yuxi asked Meng Shifeng to hold the tomatoes for her, and divided the freshly picked tomatoes into three parts, giving them to the two of them and Meng Shiqi.

The three of them are the youngest among the Meng family members who came out this time.

Of course, she is not much older than me, so it is normal for her to be willful.

A tomato weighed nearly a pound. Meng Yuxi thought it was too sour to eat so much, but her cousins ​​had several and there were not enough to share, so she simply cut half of the tomato she had taken a few bites of and gave it to her fiancé.

In fact, Wen Yujin, my fiancé, is quite reliable.

He is Meng Yiyun's student. Meng Yiyun knows that he will not live long, so after the original owner was found, he has been thinking about his daughter's marriage.

Meng Yuxi's level of education can only be described as simple as literacy. All the skills of a lady from a noble family in music, chess, calligraphy and painting are like playing the lute to a cow, and she has no knowledge of etiquette or manners.

It was impossible for such a woman to marry into a family of equal status, and Meng Yiyun was reluctant to let his daughter, whom he had finally found, suffer humiliation in a wealthy family.

After much deliberation, he finally decided on Wen Yujin as his student three months ago when the emperor decided that the entire nation should flee famine.

In fact, the original owner, that scumbag, was marrying up to Wen Yujin.

Although Wen Yujin is the only child left in the Wen family, he is now a third-rank official. Whenever he goes out, everyone has to respectfully call him General Wen.

It was because the original owner, who didn't know what was going on, thought that he was not worthy of her!

In the original owner's life, she and the remaining few descendants of the Meng family were able to reach the New World thanks to Wen Yujin's protection.

The original owner had never married, and Wen Yujin had never remarried until the original owner committed suicide. Wen Yujin then waited for three years according to the rites of widowhood, and finally married the heroine Cui Jiaojiao's best friend, who became a great killer for the hero.

Meng Yuxi sighed, what a sin! She didn't even look down on such a good man. How arrogant she was! She really had no sense!

Hearing her sigh, Wen Yujin picked a redder tomato and handed it to her, "Too sour? How about another one?"

Meng Yuxi shook her head. "I just feel so blessed to have fresh food to eat. I swear I don't like sweet potatoes and potatoes!"

"Well, let's go back and get you some other food to change your taste!" Wen Yujin put the tomato back and looked at the sky. "Which way are you going later?"

Meng Yuxi pretended to fiddle with her fingers, pointed in the direction they were heading and said, "It's very dangerous here!"

Then he pointed to the other side and said, "Good luck this way!"

Hehe, she found the seeds she sowed over there, but they were a bit far away and it was a bit difficult to make them germinate. She would start working after walking a few hundred meters!
