What kind of girl would travel to another world?

Chapter 116 Daily Life. - You Jiahui's unexpected gain.

The previous chapter mentioned that You Jiahui encountered a wild boar charging towards her in an unknown forest in her territory.

After You Jiahui deftly dodged the boar's charge, it crashed directly into the tree behind her. Having experienced numerous life-or-death battles, she had learned to exploit every advantage. This brought up the incident in the dungeon of Juexin Waterfall, where a "speed-swimmer" charging towards her coincidentally crashed into a crack in the wall, providing her with a valuable combat experience. From then on, she learned to observe the environment and utilize the terrain in combat. For those who have forgotten that exciting battle, you can go back and watch it in the previous chapters.

Back to the point. As the wild boar collided with the tree, You Jiahui immediately struck it headfirst with her scabbard. It was a swift, impulsive reaction. In a split second, she had the boar down. She held the scabbard with her left hand. While her strength wasn't as great as her right, her dexterity and precision were unmatched. Perhaps this was what people often call "talent." She hadn't intended to kill the boar, so she simply knocked it unconscious.

After the sound of the blow, the wild boar was already lying on the ground, twitching. You Jiahui smiled and sneered, "Stupid pig!"

Seeing the wild boar lying on the ground, unable to get up, You Jiahui sheathed her dagger. Though the sword was unsheathed, no blood was drawn. She had used the same scabbard to stab the horse and to knock out the wild boar, her message: "Don't kill without permission."

You Jiahui quickly found the arrow marked on the ground, and then followed the direction of the arrow to look for the horse she had just driven away.

As we mentioned in the previous chapter, You Jiahui chased the horse away before the battle. Why did she chase the horse away? Of course, it was to protect it. As mentioned before, the horse loaned from the palace was too expensive. Even if it was slightly injured in the battle, she couldn't afford to pay for it with her current financial resources. Although her method of chasing the horse away was somewhat brutal, it was indeed effective. The expensive horse borrowed from the palace had disappeared without a trace before the battle.

You Jiahui walked briskly in the direction of the arrow, glancing around for the horse. Her expression was utterly exasperated, as she thought, "What's wrong with that stupid pig? Why does it keep bumping into people? It's stupid, but it's annoying. I wonder where the horse went, oh..." She thought this because she didn't realize she had entered the wild animal's territory. The reason the wild boar attacked her was simple: it has a strong sense of territory and will aggressively attack any stranger that enters its territory.

Although You Jiahui possesses a sixth sense that surpasses that of ordinary people, she often fails to consider things from the perspective of others, other things, or other objects. To put it bluntly, she is a self-centered person.

After walking for who knows how long, You Jiahui still hadn't seen the horse she'd ridden. The further she walked, the more annoyed and impatient she became. Then, unable to hold back any longer, she erupted in curses, "Ouch! Is that horse stupid? Where the hell did it go? Ahhhhhh!" With the murderous aura she exuded, even the wild beasts in the woods wouldn't dare approach. Her pace was accelerating, barely slower than a run.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, seeing that the forest was almost at the end, You Jiahui began to panic, thinking, "I've walked so far, but I haven't seen a trace of it. If I really lost that 'silly horse', I can't afford the compensation..." She actually didn't want to look for it anymore, but when she thought about the money, she had no choice but to continue looking.

Afterwards, until You Jiahui walked out of the unknown forest, she did not see the horse again.

You Jiahui, who had already walked out of the woods, looked up at the scorching sun in the sky and thought to herself, "Oh my God, if this goes on, the whole morning will be gone. If I can't find a horse, I'll have to walk back. By the time I get back to the capital, it will be so long..." Thinking of this, she became dejected.

Just as You Jiahui raised her head again and looked around, she spotted a raised earthen slope in the distance. An idea struck her, and she muttered, "If I stand on that slope, I'll have a wider view. Maybe I can see that 'silly horse'." With that thought, she set off towards the distant slope.

The further You Jiahui walked, the sparser the grass became. Then, amidst the sparse weeds, she spotted faint horse hoofprints. She was thrilled, thinking, "That 'silly horse' must be right up ahead! There's no mistaking it!" With that thought, she broke into a run, sprinting towards the top of the slope.

You Jiahui rushed up the slope, panting and looking around in the strong wind, searching for the horse. The wind blew across the wilderness, blowing her clothes and her long hair, but she still couldn't see the horse.

You Jiahui looked down again and saw that the hoof prints on the ground were even clearer than before. She thought to herself, "Looks like that 'silly horse' has also crossed this slope. I don't want it to be someone else's horse by the time I find it..." Although she felt a little worried, she continued to search in the direction of the hoof prints.

You Jiahui continued to explore forward and felt that she was slowly moving downwards.

Soon, You Jiahui stopped walking. She finally saw the fleeing horse. However, she couldn't move forward because there was no way forward. At this moment, she was on top of a steep rock face.

Judging by the rock face, it was at least a story high, which made it impossible for You Jiahui to jump directly from the top to the bottom. Moreover, the bottom of the rock face looked uneven, so jumping directly down was too dangerous. She might even step on gravel and cause an accident.

You Jiahui saw the horse lying motionless on the ground from a distance. She muttered, "Why did it just lie down? It couldn't have been injured. Did it just jump off? How could it be so stupid? What a silly horse..." As she pondered, she tried to find a way to get down.

The horse jumped down directly, but You Jiahui definitely couldn't do that, so she could only go around and go down to the bottom.

After a while, You Jiahui arrived at the foot of the rock wall. Looking at the steep rock wall, she thought to herself, "Why can't I see the horses on the dirt slope? It turns out there's a height difference here. I really can't see the dirt slope from here either. My view is blocked by the rock wall..."

After looking at the rock face and the surroundings for a while, You Jiahui turned to look at the horse that was also there. Seeing that the horse was lying there motionless, she walked over to check on it.

You Jiahui approached the horse and saw that its limbs were intact, with no external injuries. However, the horse's eyes seemed to be avoiding her. Seeing this, she felt a little unhappy and said to the horse, "Oh! I just poked you, why are you so scared? I've been looking for you for ages!" Then, she thought, "Oh no! Is this a 'stress reaction'?"

It can be seen that the horse is still frightened by the previous stab by You Jiahui.

You Jiahui stopped talking to the horse and simply pulled a carrot from her backpack and dangled it in front of the horse. The horse immediately stood up when it saw the carrot. Actually, both You Jiahui and the horse were a little hungry; the morning was almost over and they hadn't eaten yet.

You Jiahui fed the horse all the carrots in her backpack, then devoured a large piece of bread. Normally, her appetite wasn't so voracious, so she'd only take a few bites of such a large piece of bread before leaving. If she happened to have a lot on her mind, she'd be even less able to eat. This time, it was mainly because the search for the horse had been so physically demanding, and now that she'd found it, she no longer felt the burden, so she devoured it naturally.

After eating the carrots, the horse looked much better than before.

After a while, You Jiahui noticed the soil was a different color. She immediately squatted down to examine it, then scooped up a handful of dirt, examined it carefully, and then squeezed it. Then, she thought, "Huh? This is clay! I think it could be used as a building material. Besides, this area is so small, and the terrain isn't ideal for farming. Mining clay is perfect." With that thought, she scattered the dirt back onto the ground.

After You Jiahui stood up, she gently brushed off the dust on her hands and muttered to herself, "Wait, I remember it was written in the book... clay can be used to make porcelain, but why have I never seen those colorful porcelains in this alien world? Oh my God, another opportunity to make money!" The thought of making a lot of money suddenly made her very excited, but then she thought, "It's a pity that I don't have that knowledge... I'll study it slowly later." After some thought, she looked at the horse again.

You Jiahui approached the horse, happily stroking its fur. She gently addressed it, "Oh, horse! As the saying goes, 'A silly horse has good fortune,' you truly are my lucky star! I might as well buy you, but you must be quite expensive..." Then, her "conversation" with the horse began. Only someone as familiar with horses as she was knew how to interact and communicate.

As for the price of this horse, there's no need to elaborate. Horses used by the royal family in the palace couldn't be cheap. However, You Jiahui remembered this horse from then on. How she later asked Shen Ren to take care of it and how she bought it is a story for another time, so I won't go into it here.

Afterwards, You Jiahui led her horse back to the rock face where she had been, carefully observed her surroundings, and noted the location. She then mounted her horse again and continued on her way to completing her goal for the day.

You Jiahui was galloping across her territory, and at the moment, she actually wanted to go home. She had originally planned to go to the forging workshop that afternoon, but who could have imagined that something unexpected would happen, delaying her for so long.

You Jiahui thought to herself, "Oh, I definitely won't be able to finish my shopping today. I definitely need to visit the construction site before returning to the capital. So let's follow the river and go to the end of the river first."

You Jiahui's territory was devoid of sight of the sea; the so-called "end of the river" was actually the border of her territory. Less than twenty miles downstream from the border, the river reached a waterfall, the very same "Juexin Waterfall" she had visited before!

It was so fast! With the horse as a guide, You Jiahui didn't need to walk anymore and arrived at the border of her territory.

Looking around at the riverbank, You Jiahui soon spotted a sparse patch of trees on a slight slope leading up the riverbank. She immediately rode her horse forward to investigate, wondering, "Could these also be trees suitable for building materials?"

You Jiahui, with her doubts, immediately changed her mind when she approached the first tree. The trees here were relatively short and full of fruit. It was obvious that this was a fruit forest!

You Jiahui blurted out: My luck is so good...

You Jiahui dismounted and led the horse into the orchard. As she walked, she thought to herself, "Wow! I didn't expect there was a natural orchard here. When we went to Juexin Waterfall before, the carriage took the road away from the river to avoid pedestrians. If we had walked closer to the river, we would have discovered this place earlier." Thinking of this, she picked a fruit that looked good and took a bite. It was so tender and juicy!

After finishing the fruit, You Jiahui immediately regretted it, thinking, "Wait! Is it poisonous?" She'd already eaten it before she remembered that wild fruit could be poisonous. Then, she thought, "I've already eaten it. What if I'm poisoned? I can't go to see the gods alone..." With this thought, she looked back at the horse she'd ridden and a mischievous smile played on her face.

It just so happened that when the horse saw You Jiahui eating the fruit from the tree, it immediately showed great interest in the fruit.

You Jiahui immediately picked another fruit from the tree and gave it to the horse. As she fed it, she said to the horse, "We share happiness and hardship. Is it delicious?"

After the horse had eaten the berries, it neighed happily. And then... I'll tell you about that in the next chapter.
