Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Another Experiment

Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat uneasy.

”That forest seems rather damp, and last time, you even saw a venomous snake there. It’s better not to go,” Xu Linjiang said, recalling the poisonous snake he had encountered before, which still sent a shiver down his spine.

Snakes can climb trees, and if Chiang Xiao encounters one, there would be nowhere to hide, and she wouldn’t be fast enough to escape. They would be too late even if they wanted to save her.

”Yeah, Little, don’t go. Just play around here for a while,” Ge Dejun, preoccupied with the mountain rat he was dealing with, also chimed in.

”Oh, I’ll be careful, and besides, I still have the snake-repelling medicine my grandpa gave me. You know it works really well. Nothing will happen to me. What if I can catch another wild hare, huh?”

Chiang Xiao tried hard to convince them.

In her ”Space,” she now had so many pheasants and hares. If she couldn’t find a way to take some out, they would earn less this trip. Chiang Xiao wanted to help them earn more money, too.

Moreover, if she sold everything on her own in secrecy, it would be difficult to explain the source of the money needed for household expenses later on.

Therefore, it was essential to have a legitimate way to make money openly.

In the end, Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang couldn’t win the argument against her, and could only reluctantly remind her not to venture too deep into the forest.

Chiang Xiao quickly agreed and then ran off cheerfully towards the forest.

Upon entering the forest, she immediately felt the air was more humid than outside, bringing a sense of coolness.

This forest was like a natural oxygen bar.

Moving further in, she soon saw the dead snake she had killed last time; its corpse was still there.

Chiang Xiao skirted around it and continued to explore deeper into the forest.

However, she didn’t dare to run too far, worrying that if Ge Dejun and the others called for her, she wouldn’t hear them.

The forest was very quiet, as the ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, making a soft rustling sound when stepped on. Chiang Xiao originally wanted to take out the hares and pheasants here, but suddenly remembered she had also drawn a whole page of grasshoppers, ants, and similar small insects. After drawing them, the insects felt almost alive, as if they were about to crawl out from the paper. Unable to resist, she took out that specific drawing, retreated to the forest edge, and laid it out on a patch of grass.

She wasn’t sure what the drawing would attract, but Chiang Xiao felt that since she had come to release the hares and pheasants, why bother exploring further?

It would be better to conduct an experiment right here.

The entire sheet of paper was drawn with lush green grass as the base, amidst which were several grasshoppers and a group of ants. Tucked among the mountain grass, it was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Even Chiang Xiao herself couldn’t tell there was a drawing laid out; it looked just like the real thing.

And the grasshoppers seemed as if they were about to jump onto her any moment.

Indeed, the Magic Brush needed to be nourished with good herbs.

Previously, before she could unlock the ”Space” and plant those herbs, the drawings produced by the brush only had a bit of magical intelligence.

But even then, it had shocked Deng Qingjiang, enough to dazzle the art world and make her paintings sell at high prices.

If Deng Qingjiang saw her drawings now, he would be astounded beyond belief.

But she would definitely not let Deng Qingjiang benefit from her ever again!

Whenever she thought of Deng Qingjiang, a surge of resentment rose in Chiang Xiao’s heart. She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. She hadn’t even saved up enough money to confront Deng Qingjiang, and her own life wasn’t yet in order; how could she think about revenge?

Chiang Xiao picked several long vines and grabbed two mountain creatures from her ”Space,” binding their claws together. She then captured three hares and tied them up as well, preparing to take them out later.

Then, she suddenly heard a strange noise.
