Chapter 58: Knocking

Tan Chen's movements remained unchanged as he replied, "I feel like this way, the light perception of my eyes will be stronger."

Shang Ruoting could also understand him. For a blind person, how much he longed for the day when he could see the light again.

The two chatted casually, and seeing more and more people walking towards the foot of the mountain on the small path next to them, Shang Ruoting knew that those people were going to pick wild vegetables, and her heart began to stir.

There's nothing to do at this time anyway, so I might as well join in the fun.

After thinking it over, Shang Ruoting picked up a backpack, said hello to Old Lady Shang and Tan Chen, and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

I saw more than a dozen women all lowering their heads and looking for something carefully.

Her enemies seemed to be among them, but she didn't come out today to seek trouble. As long as those people didn't provoke her, she would pretend not to see them.

Shang Ruoting looked at the open space at the foot of the mountain from afar and could not see any green sprouts. If she wanted to dig up wild vegetables here, the harvest would definitely not be great.

So she carried the basket on her back and walked into the mountains.

Someone saw the direction she was going and kindly reminded her, "Shang Ruoting, don't go into the mountains. There are often wild boars there."

"I know. Thank you for the reminder, Auntie." Shang Ruoting agreed and continued to walk inside.

Less than a minute after she walked out, she vaguely heard someone behind her calling Zhang Lanxiang and Zou Meihua loudly, saying that the team leader asked them to go to the team office.

The corners of Shang Ruoting's lips curled up slightly. She knew that the two captains were preparing to punish them.

Sure enough, after Zou Meihua and Zhang Lanxiang arrived at the office, they were bombarded with warnings by Zhao Fa and Deputy Captain Wang.

"I'm telling you two, you are not allowed to hold a grudge against Shang Ruoting in the future. Whether it's her taking over the No. 3 chicken coop or compensating her and Old Lady Shang, these are all decided by the team. You can't hold a grudge against her." Zhao Fa's attitude was very serious, which forced the two to take his words seriously.

Deputy Captain Wang added, "Also, the chicken coop is the team's collective asset. If you dare to take the chickens, don't blame me for being rude to you, and your family too."

Zhao Fa continued, "I'm going to make this clear today. If anything happens in the chicken coop, regardless of whether you two did it or not, I will hold you responsible."

At first, Zhang Lanxiang felt a little guilty when she was beaten by the two men, but after hearing Zhao Fa's last words, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Captain, Deputy Captain Wang, if you say so, Zou Meihua and I will have to take turns guarding the chicken coop from now on, right?"

"What if Shang Ruoting offends someone and goes to the chicken coop to do something bad? Will we rush out to stop her immediately?"

"If we don't do this, we won't be able to sleep well, worrying about disasters happening all day long..."

Zou Meihua also felt extremely aggrieved. Although she did have the idea of ​​attacking the chicken coop, she hadn't put it into action yet.

"Captain, Vice Captain Wang, Zhang Lanxiang is right. We didn't do anything, so why should we bear the consequences?"

Zhao Fa had already experienced how difficult Zhang Lanxiang was that day and was unwilling to waste time talking to such a person.

"Here, what I say counts. It's fine as long as you two don't have any bad intentions. If you do have any bad intentions, give up the idea as soon as possible."

After saying that, he waved his hands impatiently at the two of them: "I've finished talking, go do what you need to do!"

Zhang Lanxiang and Zou Meihua looked at each other and saw unwillingness in each other's eyes.

However, they didn't have the courage to make a scene with the two captains here, so they could only leave with a lot of anger.

After being warned by the two captains, they no longer dared to attack the chicken coop. They all went home sulking and thinking of ways to deal with the problem.

Shang Ruoting walked on the mountain path, feeling the unique breath brought by nature, and felt refreshed.

Thinking that she had been here for six days, although she was not able to satisfy materially, she felt it was worth it as she had a grandmother like Old Lady Shang who loved her so much, and Tan Chen, a handsome guy who was planning to develop a relationship with her.

While imagining a bright future, she stared at the various plants sprouting from the ground.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at a dense pine forest. The ground, covered with rotten needles, was densely covered with hazel mushrooms.

This is a good thing. No matter how people studied it in the past, they could not cultivate this kind of fungus. Therefore, hazel mushrooms were all wild, so the selling price was very high.

Maybe it’s because of the climate. Although it just rained, these hazel mushrooms are not very big, and the mushroom cap is only the size of a fingernail.

This did not pose a problem for Shang Ruoting. She squatted down and poured some spiritual spring water onto it.

I saw the hazel mushrooms growing slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and only stopped when the mushroom caps were of the right size.

Shang Ruoting carefully picked the mushrooms and put them in the small backpack behind her.

There are quite a lot of hazel mushrooms here. Shang Ruoting prepared them all in the same way, feeding them with spiritual spring water to make them grow, and then picking them.

Soon, the backpack behind her was full.

She sent all the extra ones into the space.
