Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1849: Chapter 1785: How About This as a Betrothal Gift?

”No matter what, you must be careful and stay alert. This is a tiger, what if it’s a bullet?” Meng Xinian’s expression was not very good.

In his heart, no matter how strong Chiang Xiao’s abilities were, he would still be afraid, afraid of her getting into trouble.

This might be the side effect of loving too deeply.

”Alright, alright, I promise you, I will always stay vigilant.” Seeing that his expression was still a bit sour, Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but stick out her tongue and added, ”I will definitely marry you, have children in the future, grow old together, even when our hair is white and our teeth have fallen out...”

Only then did Meng Xinian’s face ease up a bit. He reached out and pinched her cheek.

”What’s the deal with that snake? Have you encountered such a large snake before?”

Chiang Xiao then recounted the incident of encountering the snake on the mountain in the past.

They exited the space and continued walking deeper into the old forest.

After walking for a while, they released the snake.

The snake just looked at her with some confusion, then slithered into the dense forest.

Chiang Xiao sighed lightly, not expecting to have a second encounter with this snake.

As they walked further, they released the tiger as well.

Just as they released the tiger, they hid back in the space and waited until it left before slipping out of the space.

”We need to be more cautious now, to avoid being discovered again.”

Said Chiang Xiao, glancing around, ”Let’s start searching here.”

This place was lush with grass and trees even in winter, perhaps there are herbs.

She had already drawn the three kinds of herbs, letting Meng Xinian hold the sketches for comparison.

”Be careful, keep your eyes and ears open while searching for herbs.” Meng Xinian said, ”Also, don’t stray far from me.”

”Yes, my Officer Meng.”

Chiang Xiao stuck out her tongue.

Who knows how long this matter would linger, or how long Tyrant Meng would hold it over her.

But seeing him so frightened earlier, she felt very guilty. Now, as long as it reassures him a bit, she wouldn’t dare to have any objections, no matter how many times she’s told.

After all, he did it out of concern for her.

It was already evening.

The deep forest darkened as the light dimmed.

In places with large trees, it was almost too dark to see the path.

Chiang Xiao took out two flashlights from the space, giving one to Meng Xinian.

They were already very far from the campsite, a place she had never set foot in before, so they weren’t in a hurry to leave, opting to search around thoroughly.

Having searched for half a day, they had expanded their search area, finding several kinds of herbs in excellent condition, but not the three they were looking for.

Chiang Xiao was confident initially, but she was starting to worry now.

What if they couldn’t find them?

”Hmm?” She suddenly heard Meng Xinian’s surprised voice and couldn’t help but look his way.

”Brother Xinian, did you find something?”

”Little, come over here.”

Chiang Xiao thought he had found an herb and rushed over, not daring to confirm it.

Meng Xinian held her and shone the flashlight on a tree in front, ”Look, is that Ginseng?”

Ginseng?

Chiang Xiao was taken aback.

Could they have found a Hundred-Year Ginseng instead of the desired herbs?

She looked closely and indeed saw a Ginseng plant under the tree.

Moreover, it was coiled with a venomous snake.

”It really is Ginseng.”

Meng Xinian suddenly smiled. ”You always said Bai Gu Mountain was full of treasures, finding Lingzhi and Ginseng, and I was somewhat skeptical. Yet, I didn’t expect to find Ginseng this time. Hmm, Chiang Xiaoxiao, how about we consider this an engagement proposal gift?”
