It would be a waste not to raise them now that they were caught. Moreover, they were small spotted deers—they were much better than those rabbits and pheasants.
Since she could no longer keep her secret, there was no need to hide it anymore. It was good too. She would not have to be so careful in the future. Entering the space had been inconvenient.
She picked up the two deer and threw them into the space. After ensuring they lost consciousness, she asked the man.
“Um, when did you discover it?”
“Probably when you put the mushrooms in,” Qian Jiyun replied.
An Jiuyue was silent.
Doesn’t that mean he knew from the beginning?
I only thought he didn’t know because he never mentioned it. So he tricked me like I was a monkey?
Did he feel a sense of accomplishment watching how carefully and pretentiously I hid my things? How can he not say anything!
“I don’t have other intentions.”
Qian Jiyun explained immediately when he saw that she was about to get angry.
He really did not have any other intentions. He simply felt it was too tiring for her to do all these things secretly. He might as well admit that he knew so that she could do what she needed openly in the future.
“Alright, I understand.”
An Jiuyue sighed softly. What could she do? She had to live her life as usual.
Now that she could rear the small spotted deer, there would be more animals in her space in the future. She had to reclaim her pasture as soon as possible.
Since Qian Jiyun had already discovered her secret, she had nothing to hide.
An Jiuyue began to openly stuff the medicinal herbs into her space. She found many herbs in the mountains throughout the day.
She even found a few wild ginseng.
There were two large ginsengs. According to Qian Jiyun, they were estimated to be about 500 years old. Wild ginsengs like these were valuable in any era.
Although she could not grow the big ones anymore, she was ready to cook them when she got home.
Of course, she planted some of the smaller wild ginsengs in her space. When the wild ginsengs bore seeds next year, she planned to reclaim a piece of land and only grow wild mountain ginseng.
Medicinal herbs were scarce everywhere, so she had to prepare more.
“It’s getting dark. Let’s go back.”
After walking in the deep mountains with An Jiuyue for an entire day, Qian Jiyun looked at the sky and said.
“Okay.”
An Jiuyue nodded.
Although there were many things in the deep mountains that she wanted to gather, it was not easy. She decided to come back another day.
“I have to build a fence tonight. Otherwise, it will be difficult to rear the young deer.”
She muttered to herself, wondering if Qian Yiyun would be able to take care of the five children alone.
Of course, Qian Yiyun did not have to take care of Rong’er and Zheng’er. They could even help her to take care of the three children. They should be able to handle it, right?
Little did An Jiuyue know that there was another person at the treehouse.
…
Qian Yiyun was playing with Lu’er in the treehouse. Rong’er and Zheng’er were taking care of Xing’er and Zhou’er, who were lying on the bed and sleeping obediently.
However, someone appeared under the treehouse before the sky turned dark.
“Jiuyue, An Jiuyue! Come down quickly! I’m Aunt Wang. I have something to tell you. Hurry!” Aunt Wang placed her hands on her hips, looking like she was ready to fight An Jiuyue.
