Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 377

Walking all the way inside, they also found walnut trees and collected a few to take along, thinking that there might not be another chance to venture deep into the mountains. Along the way, they also gathered some red pines, walnuts, and ash trees they encountered, fearing that these trees might become hard to find in the future.

What she didn’t expect was that her luck wasn’t too bad; she even came across a yellow poplar, also known as Huang Ba, which is a treasure with its whole body. It’s not only beautiful and sturdy, but its bark can also be used in medicine, with functions such as clearing heat, detoxifying, and promoting healthy bile. However, since her space was limited, she only transplanted a few young saplings into it.

Along the way, they also caught a few rabbits and wild chickens, and Xinyan impolitely put them directly into the space, giving them a designated area and not allowing them to go beyond it.

Seeing that it was already noon, she found a place to enter the space, arranging everything she’d collected earlier properly. She prepared to eat lunch and take a short break before heading back, as the forest tends to get dark early.

There were already prepared meals in the space, so after a simple wash, she started eating.

Neither staying too long in the space, she exited to prepare to return.

But she hadn’t gone far when she saw a foolish roe deer. Thinking about how rare it was to come across one, she had to capture it, with her eyes gleaming and her mood soaring.

But things didn’t go as planned; joy turned to sorrow. She hadn’t chased for long when she stepped out of empty space and fell into a hole, unable to react in time. She reached out to grab the surrounding plants, but the falling speed was too fast. Even though she grabbed a few times, it only slowed her slightly, not stopping her at all.

Just as Xinyan was thinking of entering the space for refuge, she hit the bottom.

Fortunately, there seemed to be fallen leaves accumulated over the years below, so the impact didn’t injure her badly.

Once Xinyan recovered, she began to feel scared, having no idea what kind of ghostly place this was. She thought how unlucky she was, wondering if this was a consequence of her greed; if she hadn’t tried to catch that foolish roe deer, she might not have fallen without seeing the road clearly.

Terrified, Xinyan immediately entered the space to calm herself before figuring out a solution.

Despite living a second life, she was still a young lady, and no matter how brave, it was indeed frightening. Fortunately, she wasn’t hurt from the fall; otherwise, she didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.

Having recently reunited with her biological father, she hadn’t had the chance to enjoy familial love fully. She had just been accepted into her dream school, yet to fulfill her past life’s university dream. And then there was He Jinxuan. The more she thought about it, the more she felt she couldn’t just wait for death. She couldn’t get trapped here; she had to find a way out.

Remembering the flashlight stored in the space, she quickly found it, and took extra insect repellant she’d prepared for mosquitoes, snakes, and ants earlier, building herself up mentally before leaving the space.

With the flashlight for illumination, Xinyan could see the situation inside the cave clearly.

The area at the bottom of the cave wasn’t very large, but the distance from the top was too great. She feared she didn’t have the ability to climb up.

After carefully checking, she discovered a hidden passage leading elsewhere behind the plants. After confirming several times that there was only one passage, she bent over and went in. She had to take this risk to see if there was a way out on the other side.

After walking through the passage for roughly three hundred meters, she found that the area ahead suddenly opened up, and after she crawled out, the scene before her eyes astonished her.

This cave turned out to be naturally formed, with one side being a cliff where she could see the scenery below, though it was obscured by vines extending down from the cliff wall, making it hard to detect from outside.

What astonished her wasn’t the cave itself, but the twenty or so chests stored on one side of the cave.

Xinyan observed for danger and then walked over in a few steps. These chests weren’t too large, just the right size for an adult to hold. They had been stored here for some years.

It seemed that someone had stored them here, but judging by the chests, it was clear that they had been here for quite some time.

She took out a pair of gloves from the space and put them on before opening the first chest on top. Her posture was always ready to escape in case something like a hidden weapon suddenly appeared from within.
