Gu Nian returned to her room, and took advantage of the moment when no one was around to pluck a coconut from the space and drink it.
She thought that after a good sleep, the scrape on her elbow would be almost healed.
But reality was not like that.
When Gu Nian woke up, she could faintly hear the sounds of a noisy crowd outside.
She moved her elbow and a sharp pain struck.
Looking up, the wound was still in its original state, except that it was no longer bleeding.
Strange, had the fruits lost their healing power?
Gu Nian picked a tomato from the rice field, ate it, and still felt no reaction.
She tried several other edible things in succession, and all the wounds remained the same.
Only then did Gu Nian turn her attention back to the peaches and strawberries.
Could it be that only these two fruits have the effect?
Gu Nian shook her head, her gaze unintentionally sweeping across the nearby mountain spring pool.
The small spring wasn’t very large, with water bubbles gurgling from it, some spilling out and flowing towards the side of the spring.
On this mountain, the most abundant trees are peach and apricot trees, with large patches of strawberries growing below them, mixed with some weeds from time to time.
Gu Nian doesn’t particularly like apricots, so she hasn’t touched them much.
A thought suddenly crossed her mind.
Perhaps the real healing effect doesn’t come from the fruits in the space, but rather this spring. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
The reason why the peaches and strawberries have healing effects is probably because they absorbed the spring water, right?
Gu Nian picked a peach from another hillside and ate a few bites, but there was no reaction.
But her stomach was too full, and she lost the desire to try more.
Eventually, Gu Nian secretly went outside, grabbed a basin, scooped some spring water into it, and completely submerged the injured part of her elbow.
A tingling and itching sensation came over her, as though the wound was being crawled over by bugs, which felt very uncomfortable.
However, this feeling didn’t last too long.
When she took her elbow out again, the smooth skin was as soft as silk, with no trace of any injury when touched.
It’s just that the newly grown skin was slightly pink, looking a bit different compared to the surroundings.
Gu Nian suddenly felt a thrill of excitement.
Her guess was indeed correct.
Immediately, her delicate brow furrowed tightly.
Oh no! Her family already knew she was injured. With her wound healing so quickly, how should she explain?
As she was thinking, she heard Little Hu’s excited voice coming over, "Little sister, little sister, are you awake?"
Gu Nian quickly responded, "Ah, I’m awake!"
Little Hu dashed in enthusiastically, pulling Gu Nian to go outside, "Quick, let’s go watch the pig slaughter."
Gu Nian was pulled outside by Little Hu, where buckets of hot water were just being carried out from the house.
Lin Shui was asking Lin Sanshui, "Old third, the wild boar skin is thick, hard to eat and difficult to clean. In my opinion, we might as well just skin it directly."
Lin Sanshui thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, let’s do as big brother says."
With that, he began to work.
Besides Lin Sanshui and his two brothers, there were a few other close friends helping out.
The courtyard was filled with onlookers, a large crowd, with children running around, occasionally exclaiming with surprise.
Without having to scrape the hair, it became much simpler. Lin Ershui directly cut open the pig’s belly with a knife, taking out all the innards and putting them into a large wooden basin that had been prepared earlier.
The basin was full and looked truly spectacular.
