When Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran went down the mountain, the group wasn’t exhausted. Instead, they were in high spirits.

The herbs picked on the mountain had been dried by them.

Some that needed to be cooked were immediately cooked.

The remaining expensive herbs were also preserved with some special methods.

To Jiao Hang’s surprise, Luo Cheng and the others actually ran down with a big black bear.

This was a big black bear!

As soon as the news spread, many people ran to Mr. Qi’s side to watch the commotion.

The big black bear had already been killed. From the injuries on its body, it could be seen that its chest had been pierced by a sword in several places before it died.

“Hurry up, Mr. Qi. Lend us your knife and chopping board! We need to deal with a bear we hunted!” Zi Zheng ran over to borrow some things.

After Luo Cheng and the others brought the big black bear down, the group began to get busy.

Bear guts were a good thing, while bear paws were also a top-notch ingredient.

They also had to deal with the bear skin properly.

As for bear meat, it was also good stuff!

Bear meat nourished one’s body, strengthened one’s vitality, and nourished one’s marrow. It also had good healing and therapeutic effects on the body.

For example, for Li Xiaoran, who was previously weak, eating more bear meat now was very beneficial to her health.

It took about two hours for them to deal with the bear.

Luo Ziyang and the others were very meticulous. After dealing with the bear, they even asked someone to wash the borrowed things and send them back to Qi Changliang’s family.

To thank them, Luo Cheng also asked someone to give some bear meat to Qi Changliang’s family.

Qi Juan, in particular, needed this bear meat to nourish her body after the poison in her body was detoxed.

On Qi Juan’s side, after Luo Cheng took her pulse, he said, “Most of the poison in Miss Qi’s body has been detoxed. I just need to change the prescription. Then, you can drink it for another half a month. This prescription is very simple. I’ll write it down for you now. You just have to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine and drink it! Remember, you can’t get married within a year. Otherwise, it’ll harm your body!” Luo Cheng said.

When Qi Juan heard this, she immediately blushed.

When Jiao Hang heard this, he looked at Qi Juan.

Thinking of what he had agreed on with Qi Juan previously, Jiao Hang decided to talk to Mr. Luo about this later.

After Luo Cheng wrote out the prescription, he handed it to Qi Changliang’s family and went out to arrange other things.

After this bear was dissected, they had to send it back to Hele Village quickly.

In addition, they had to send back the herbs they had dug up this time.

Many herbs had only been dried for a day or two. There wasn’t enough time to dry them, so they had to bring them back quickly and continue drying them.

After everything was arranged, Luo Cheng remembered Jiao Hang, so he called him over first.

Coincidentally, Jiao Hang also wanted to tell Luo Cheng about him and Qi Juan, so the two of them went to a corner of the courtyard to talk.

Jiao Hang didn’t hide anything from Luo Cheng. He told him about Qi Juan’s concerns and his suggestion.

Luo Cheng nodded when he heard this.

“Ask Mr. Qi for his opinion on this! It’s fine as long as their family agrees! However, Miss Qi is still very weak and can’t withstand a long journey, so let her recuperate at home for a month first! In a month, if they want, come straight to Hele Village to look for us!”

With that, Luo Cheng thought for a moment and looked at Jiao Hang.

“I know you like Qi Juan, but you can’t force things. Why don’t you take a step back and hand over the initiative to Qi Juan? A month isn’t long, but it’s not short either. Your departure is enough for her to think about many things! If she’s unwilling to come, there’s no fate between the two of you. Forget Qi Juan and find another relationship! If the other party comes, you have to treat her well in the future!”

Jiao Hang nodded and said what was on his mind.

“Mr. Luo, you’re right. I think so too! If Miss Qi really comes, I wonder if the consort can arrange things properly?”

“Don’t worry about that. As long as Qi Juan is willing to come, the consort will definitely arrange things properly!” Luo Cheng said.

Jiao Hang nodded and was relieved.

After the two of them made up their minds, they went to look for Qi Changliang.

Luo Cheng said, “I’ve already heard about your concerns from Jiao Hang! I also discussed it with Jiao Hang just now, but with Miss Qi’s current health condition, why don’t we arrange it this way? Miss Qi can stay at home and recuperate first. In a month, if she’s willing to stay with Jiao Hang, you can send her straight to Hele Village. Of course, after Miss Qi comes, we’ll arrange a job for her according to our agreement. The salary won’t be low! If Miss Qi thinks it through in a month and doesn’t want to try it, it’s fine. Just don’t come to Hele Village! That way, we’ll know her intentions!”

Qi Changliang also felt that this arrangement was more appropriate, so he nodded and said, “If she’s unwilling, we’ll personally come over and give Mr.

Luo an answer!”

Luo Cheng didn’t care about this, but it was fine if the Qi family insisted on sending a letter back.

This could prevent Jiao Hang from waiting.

“Alright! Then the time is set! We’ll pack our things and leave later!” Luo Cheng said to Qi Changliang, “Sorry to disturb you during this period of time!”

“Mr. Luo, you’re welcome. Your arrival brings glory to our humble dwelling. If you don’t mind, you can come often in the future!” Qi Changliang said with a smile.

“Alright, see you again!” Luo Cheng cupped his hands and said goodbye.

Qi Changliang also cupped his hands.

Soon, the group returned with several carriages full.

Jiao Hang spoke to Qi Juan for a while before leaving.

As Qi Juan sat in front of the window and watched Jiao Hang leave, she had an indescribable feeling.

On the way back, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng sat in a carriage.

Zi Zheng was driving the carriage in front.

Li Xiaoran thought of the thin old man, so she asked, “Have you confirmed the mines on the mountain?

Luo Cheng couldn’t help but sigh when he thought of the news he had received. “It’s already been confirmed that the mines are very rich. What’s even more shocking is that not only are there copper mines, but there are also gold mines and silver mines! It’s not an exaggeration to call this mountain ‘Treasure

Mountain’! ”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, her eyes widened.

“Huh? This mountain is that rich? Then won’t Daxing Village be rich in the future?”
