The two of them picked together, and soon all the morel mushrooms and matsutake mushrooms in this area were harvested.

Gu Huanian took Su Li hunting, which allowed her to witness his prowess. He not only knew how to find animal hiding places, but he could also easily catch a pheasant or a rabbit from afar with a pebble.

In one afternoon, Gu Huanian caught three pheasants, two rabbits, and a roe deer.

Su Li looked at the two rabbits that Gu Huanian was carrying with great envy.

"Battalion Commander Gu, may I buy these two rabbits from you?"

"No, I won't sell."

Su Li was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, as she had been thinking of buying it and placing it in her spatial storage.

When the rabbits have babies, won't she finally achieve rabbit freedom?

Then we can make spicy rabbit heads, braised rabbit meat...

It sounds wonderful, but it's a pity that Gu Huanian is unwilling.

I can give it to you.

"What?"

"These two rabbits are for you. Just bring me more things in the future."

"ah?"

Su Li was a little confused. He meant he wouldn't sell it to her, but he was giving it to her and then asking her to give him things in return.

This person is so strange.

But thinking about how I can give the rabbit some things so that he can achieve freedom in the future, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

"Then, I'll roast some nuts for you tomorrow."

"Can"

Gu Huanian paused, then asked, "Do you want these two pheasants?"

Su Li couldn't possibly accept that! Taking the rabbit and then the pheasant as well was really shameless. She waved her hand and said, "No, Battalion Commander Gu, you can keep it for yourself!"

"Then you should cook chicken and roe deer for them as an extra meal that night."

Su Li nodded.

After having dinner on the mountain, the four of them walked down the mountain together.

Aunt Zhang looked at the basket Su Li was carrying and teased, "Su, you went mushroom picking again today?"

"Yes, Auntie, if you have time, we can go for a walk in the mountains together next time."

"I'd better not go. My old arms and legs are so weak. When I was young, I had a baby and didn't even have a proper postpartum period before I went straight to planting rice seedlings. Now that I'm old, my legs always hurt. It's already difficult enough for me to go up the mountain every day, so I won't join in the fun. But speaking of which, I don't know if it's because the food on the mountain is better or what, but my legs haven't hurt for two days now."

Su Li could roughly guess that it was the effect of the spiritual spring water, as she often dripped spiritual spring water into the dishes when they weren't looking.

Aunt Li also said, "Yes! In previous years I always had back pain, but it hasn't hurt these past few days. It's really strange."

As they chatted, the conversation somehow drifted to Sun Yingzi.

Aunt Zhang asked with a gossipy look, "Guess what I heard when I passed by Liu Mazi's house the other day?"
