Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass-Chapter 16
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Due to the terrible weather, the villagers did not go out. Hence, no one noticed Qi Qingyao coming in and out of the village. She carried her back basket and quickly walked into the mountain. The plants on the ground were all covered with thick layers of frost. The fog was so heavy that one could barely distinguish a male and a female from ten meters away. From twenty meters away, one could hardly distinguish a human and an animal.
Qi Qingyao followed the chaotic memory of the host. Once she entered the mountain, she dared not delay by a single step.
“The medicine must be gathered before the snow covers the mountain. Otherwise, this big fish will just be awaiting death.” How can the cooked duck fly to one’s mouth? (TN: A Chinese saying whereby an opportunity slips through one’s fingers.) Since the man had been rescued, then she must certainly save the cash cow.
She thought, fortunately, she had been born at the foot of the Changbai Mountain in her previous life and had learned medical skills from her grandfather for more than ten years. Hence, she knew a little about pharmacology and medicinal properties.
Otherwise, this big fish would have to die!

Although the weather was harsh today, it also meant that there would not be any beasts wandering about!
There were generally no decent medicinal herbs at the foot of the mountain. To find better herbs, she would have to ascend a little higher. Qi Qingyao cursed in her heart while she cautiously climbed the mountain. It took about an hour before she started to find very beneficial herbs. This piece could be due to the terrain, which had grown a lot of useful herbs. Qi Qingyao spent another half-hour gathering them. Just as she was about to return, she was careless for a moment and the bottom of her feet slipped. She immediately slipped down the pit beside her. The fall almost scared her to death.
She thought that she was going to fall into some valley or cliff, and her fun with her little life would just be over like that.
When the fall came to a stop, she realized that she was merely at the pit in the mountain. She released a breath of relief. It really was the d*mn blessing of the Koi God.
She had fallen under the roots of a huge banyan tree. She wiped the rotting branches and leaves, and frost off her face. She staggered as she struggled to stand up. Qi Qingyao then quickly checked the herbs in her back basket to make sure that they were still there.
She observed her surroundings, then got ready to descend and continue down the mountain!
As a result, she unexpectedly saw something.
“F*ck!”
Her eyes were not playing tricks on her, were they?
She hurried forward to check the size of the ginseng then rubbed her eyes again. This ginseng…
“The Koi God must have blessed me! Goodness, I’ve hit jackpot!”
Others would be blessed if they survived a disaster!
She, Qi Qingyao did not die when she fell into a pit, but she had found ginseng!
No, that would not be an accurate description. It should be described as God deliberately letting her fall into a pit to see such a big treasure!
Qi Qingyao smiled from ear to ear as she carefully picked the huge ginseng.
‘Ginseng, oh ginseng. My family fortune is pointing at you!’ she thought.
She just needed to sell this ginseng.
Not to mention instantly building a big house, even if she immediately wanted to buy a small two-story building in Qingzhou City, it would be more than enough.
Qi Qingyao packed the ginseng beautifully then happily went down the mountain.
Under the heavy fog, snow particles gradually began to float.
Qi Qingyao followed the trail that she had taken and maintained full concentration, for fear that she would take a wrong step.
In this harsh winter, the mountain was about to be heavily covered in snow. If she took a wrong step and got lost in this mountain, she was afraid that she would starve and freeze to death.
When Qi Qingyao descended the mountain, the sky had already gotten dark. The sky was covered with black clouds and thick fog, and it was almost impossible to distinguish north, south, east, and west.
The moment Qi Qingyao arrived at the door of her house, her tensed nerves immediately relaxed.
She pushed open the door.
The little children atop the bed-stove lifted their heads and looked towards the door in surprise.
They made sure that it was their mother.
Xiaobao spoke first.
“Mommy, you’re back!”
“Why are you so worked up? Unless the person we picked up has died?” Qi Qingyao asked hurriedly.
