Chapter 16

Thanks to Somebody for the ko-fi~

Thanks to my editor Gold Fairy~

The sides and back of Lingjia Village was surrounded by the mountains. Compared to the mystery of Yuehua Mountain Range, Dagong and Xiaogong Mountain were very ordinary. The topography of the mountain was also not tall. When it was not farming season, the villager men and married women would go to the mountain and hunt some animals and dig up some herbs. The three, father and sons, after entering the mountain don’t even mention digging up herbs, they didn't even see any wild herbs. These past few years, the dynasty’s rule was not smooth, so the life of the common people was also not well. The grains were not enough. Naturally the wild herbs and fruits on the mountains were also not enough to pick.

“Why don’t we go to Yuehua Mountain?”

Eyes stared at halfway up the mountain. The bamboo basket on his back was still empty. Ling Jingxuan, who was full of confidence, had received a large hit. In his previous life he did not like studying. If he had time, he hunkered in the village head’s teahouse playing mahjong or hid by himself in his house researching poison. But as a 21st century man who transmigrated into this soap opera, he was already running wild. He still somewhat knew some things. When other people transmigrated, if they were not princes, then they were emperors. If not those, then they would be some family’s son of the first wife. If not that, then they would have a golden finger (1). He entered a mountain to casually collect lingzhi mushroom, ginseng, and other rare things. How come when it came to him, this was not doable?

Thinking of these, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help raising a middle finger in his mind. Reality was more cruel than TV or novels.

“What do you mean go to Yuehua Mountain? Dad, do you not want your life anymore? Everyone in the village says Yuehua Mountain has monsters, we can’t go.”

Big Bun’s face was dark. He glared at his dad. Carrying a Y on his face, his appearance was full of dislike, making Ling Jingxuan powerless as black lines appeared on his face, and he rubbed his nose. It’s only been a few days ah, how many times has Big Bun chided him? Exactly who was the elder here?

“Really?!”

Big Bun’s firm opinion instantly became a money slave. Big eyes turned into the shape of copper coins.

“Haha… You ah, have you drilled yourself into the money ne (2)?”

Ling Jingxuan couldn't help but laugh loudly, finger indulgently and helplessly poking at his head.

It was rare but the Big Bun this time didn’t avoid it. Waving around his hand he urgently asked him, “Dad, say it quickly, can you really turn those sour grapes into money?”

Only needed to make money and he wouldn’t even be willing to eat any of the sweet grapes.

“Of course, your dad is a Tong Sheng ne.”

Well, thanks to this wretched ancient examination system, everything was inferior and only studying was good. Placed in modern times, Tong Sheng at best was like graduating elementary school, but putting it here it was clearly not the same.

As a matter of fact, once these two words ‘Tong Sheng’ appear, Big Bun’s doubt would immediately vanish. He turned around dragging the Little Bun, “Xiao Wu we are going to go pick fruit.”

Looking at his anxious appearance, as if the fruit would disappear, Ling Jingxuan burst into another fit of laughter. This son of his, loves money but also very stingy. He really was something.***

JADE: So theres a lot of sounds/noises they make when they talk that indicates a feeling/mood. I've been putting them in italics so that we can still try to get the feel of the writing style of the series. However for two of them, the pinyin for them is just 'a' and 'e' but it seems a little weird to see a single letter so I'm writing them as 'ah' and 'eh' since its more like how they would be pronounced anyways. Hope everyone doesn't mind too much!
