When we finally set out, there were three adults and three children.

Looking at the man who followed her for no apparent reason, Xu Jiaojiao was speechless.

Not wanting to walk with him, she walked slowly behind him.

They all grew up in the mountains, so naturally they are not unfamiliar with these mountains.

There was a long line, Qin Shuo was walking at the front and Xu Jiaojiao was walking at the end.

I didn't see many mushrooms on the road, probably because they had all been picked up by others.

The firewood collected by the children had just been picked out by Qin Sheng.

They came here purely to try their luck.

It's just that the Red Flag Brigade is short of food and water. The people in the team don't know how many times they have searched the mountain.

Where is it so easy to pick up things?

But Xu Jiaojiao was not disappointed. Instead, her eyes became brighter the more she walked around.

From time to time he would bend down, pull out a few grasses and put them into the basket behind him.

"Himitsu, why are you pulling that thing out?"

Seeing that she was moving so slowly, Ding Xiujing looked back and saw that she was pulling out weeds.

“It’s herbal medicine.”

I didn’t expect that there were so many herbs on this mountain. Xu Jiaojiao felt like a mouse falling into a rice jar.

I am so happy here that I don't want to leave.

When Ding Xiujing heard that she was picking herbs, she lost interest.

She didn't know how to do that, so she might as well concentrate on looking for something to eat.

If you pick up a wild...

“Here are eggs!”

Suddenly, Erni shouted excitedly.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. How could they pick up eggs here?

Following the sound, Dani and Dahu couldn't help but exclaim.

"A nest of eggs!"

Isn’t it? The nest of eggs of different colors was hidden in the bushes, covered by grass.

You can't find it unless you look carefully.

"I was picking mushrooms here and saw it." Erni's face flushed.

Obviously very excited.

"Come on, be careful and put it in the backpack."

Thinking of having egg soup in the evening, several people couldn't help swallowing.

Even Xu Jiaojiao, who had just eaten an egg, was very greedy.

There is no way, we are too poor and lack oil and water.

Suddenly, the sound of a chicken clucking came from not far away.

A few people turned their heads and saw Qin Shuo holding a brightly colored chicken in his hand.

"It's a pheasant!"

Xu Jiaojiao looked at the chicken in his hand with shining eyes.

It was as if he was holding not a chicken, but a piece of meat.

Big plate chicken, beggar's chicken, fried chicken nuggets...

The children gathered around and cheered.

"Uncle San, you are so awesome!"

"Uncle San, how did you catch him?"

…

I have to say, the charm of meat is so great that the children have overcome their fear of Uncle San.

They surrounded him and chattered, asking questions all over the place.

It was the first time that Qin Shuo was surrounded by children like this, and his hands and feet were a little stiff.

The chicken in his hand was being squeezed by him and it made a series of miserable cries.

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

"Kill the chicken and let Dahu and the others take it away first." Ding Xiujing said.

Although they can now go up the mountain freely to pick up things, there is always the possibility that someone will become jealous and do something bad.

Better let them take it back.

Besides, if you kill it directly, your mother-in-law won’t be reluctant to eat it.

Xu Jiaojiao quietly gave her a thumbs up.

Wonderful!

Hearing this, Qin Shuo turned around without further ado, and the next moment, the screaming chicken stopped moving.

When he turned around again, the chicken in his hand was dead. I don't know how he did it.

Xu Jiaojiao looked at it a few more times out of curiosity.

She met the man's deep eyes.

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

Thinking of the -50 favorability rating, she silently turned her head away and pretended not to see it.

Xu Jiaojiao continued to look for herbs.

There are really medicinal herbs everywhere here, some of which are quite precious.

Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh, what a waste of resources.

While picking herbs, Xu Jiaojiao's desire to go to the county became stronger and stronger.

I wonder if the pharmacies here accept herbal medicine?

When I read period novels, if the protagonist is short of money, he will exchange it for a ginseng.

Xu Jiaojiao felt that she probably didn't have the luck to pick ginseng.

I don't know if ordinary medicine will work?

On the other side, Ding Xiujing had already packed the chickens that Qin Shuo had killed tightly into a backpack.

Only after making sure that no one could see a single feather did I feel relieved.

"You have to go back quickly and don't play around on the way, okay?"

Ding Xiujing was a little worried. After all, she had to hand over such a big piece of meat and eggs to a few little kids.

In case you lose it...

"Forget it, I'll carry it. I'll come back to pick tea later."

The children stared at the backpack and refused to leave.

They followed Ding Xiujing wherever he went.

That's all meat and eggs!

Gulp gulp…

The sound of swallowing saliva gradually faded away with Ding Xiujing's footsteps.

Only the awkward couple were left in the woods.

"Um... I have something else to do, you..."

Xu Jiaojiao didn't want to stay with him. Who knew when he would lose her favorability again?

It's -50 now.

Thinking of that scene that night, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Fortunately, there was no prompt indicating that the mission had failed.

A man's heart is as unfathomable as a needle in the sea!

Qin Shuo didn't say anything, but he didn't leave either. He just stood aside and watched her.

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

This makes her feel stressed, right?

Turning around, Xu Jiaojiao wanted to go back to the tea garden directly and didn't want to pick herbs anymore.

But after taking only two steps, he stopped.

A bunch of red fruits stands out among the sparse grass.

That swaggering look seems to be saying: Come and pick me!

Xu Jiaojiao was speechless.

You are a ginseng, growing here so casually, how did you escape other people's eyes?

He walked forward cautiously and squatted down.

Xu Jiaojiao pushed aside the grass that was blocking her view, and sure enough, the ginseng was there.

Qin Shuo behind him also came over.

I squatted aside and watched her break off a branch and carefully dig out a grass.

It looks very valuable at first glance.

The woman's long eyelashes half drooped, covering her bright and clear eyes.

A pair of slender hands, although very careful, their movements are light and flexible.

It seemed as if she did this kind of grass digging work often.

Thinking of the herbs she had picked along the way, Qin Shuo's eyes became more inquiring.

How could Xu Jiaojiao know what the man was thinking?

She didn't even know how she had offended him, so she might as well just ignore him.

The branch in his hand had already pushed away the soil above, slowly revealing the ginseng underneath.

Ginseng roots must be dug up intact to be valuable.

If it breaks, its value will be much lower.

Therefore, Xu Jiaojiao was extremely focused on digging, and even completely forgot about the man next to her.

The ginseng in the soil is estimated to be about 20 to 30 years old.

It's not worth much money.

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

But as the ginseng slowly revealed its full appearance, Xu Jiaojiao's face turned red with excitement.

It’s actually been about fifty years!

Let’s just say that luck is also part of strength!

Xu Jiaojiao, overjoyed, stood up holding the ginseng.

I don’t know if it was because I squatted for too long, but I felt dizzy when I stood up.

She stumbled and was about to fall into the man.

Xu Jiaojiao twisted her body and managed to avoid the martial chest.

Qin Shuo: ...
