Li Qingyun found a path without any traces. In places where many people walked, the mountain products had all been picked up, and it was not convenient for her to use space cheats.

I found a stick and used it to hit the grass where it was deep. It was also used as a crutch on uneven roads, which was quite useful.

Soon, Li Qingyun found a field of wild grapes that had not been picked by anyone.

Wild grapes are very sour and are mostly used for making wine. They are much smaller than cultivated grapes, and the vines are edible. They have a sour taste and are already ripe, with many ripened and falling all over the ground.

Li Qingyun directly took out a pair of scissors from the space to pick the grapes. She quickly picked all the ripe wild grapes and picked two baskets full and put them into the space.

I left marks with my sickle as I walked, so I wasn't afraid of getting lost.

Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water.

There are abundant supplies in the mountains and a lot of food to eat. It is a happy life in the north. As long as you are diligent in the autumn, you don’t have to worry about starving to death in the winter.

Along the way, Li Qingyun picked mountain ash and hawthorns.

Shan nian shen can be used to make wine or water, and has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, removing fire and promoting diuresis.

Hawthorn is a small edible fruit. It can be boiled and mixed with sugar when eaten raw. Ripe hawthorn is very sweet and has a smooth texture. You can bring it back for your baby as a snack.

Li Qingyun didn't stop until he found a few hickory trees. He prepared to take a break, have lunch, and then put the hickory nuts into his pocket.

Li Qingyun found a clean place and sat down to have lunch.

As soon as I took out the aluminum lunch box, I felt a chill on my back.

"Be careful." No sooner said than done, with a loud roar, a figure rushed up.

Li Qingyun looked back and saw that it was Erniu. He was holding a long green snake in his hand, and the snake was still struggling to wrap around his arm.

Li Qingyun was stunned for a few seconds and then broke out in a cold sweat. She felt uncomfortable all over.

I don’t know if this snake is poisonous or not. Fortunately, Erniu caught it, otherwise she would have died here today. She would be crying out to heaven and earth but no one would help her.

Subconsciously step back.

Erniu took out a hatchet from behind and chopped the snake into two pieces with one stroke. Its body was still twisting.

After it completely stopped moving, Erniu picked it up and threw it into his backpack. This was a non-venomous snake, and for him, snake meat was a rare delicacy that could not be wasted.

"Auntie, are you okay? This snake is not poisonous, don't be afraid."

"Erniu, thank you. By the way, why are you here? Didn't you go back home?"

Li Qingyun patted his chest with lingering fear. Fortunately, if he hadn't met Erniu, something would have happened to him today.

Erniu didn't say anything. He had already picked up two large baskets of mountain products and sent them back this morning. This was his third trip. He had picked up walnuts in this place last year, so he came to take a look. He didn't expect to meet her.

"You're welcome, auntie. I'll be leaving now."

He thought that since his aunt had arrived here first, he would look for something else.

"Erniu, wait a minute." Li Qingyun called him and took out three rolls from the lunch box and handed them to him.

"You must be hungry, come and eat it."

He probably hadn't eaten breakfast and no one would prepare lunch for him, so she just gave him half of her lunch.

"No, auntie, I've already eaten." Erniu resisted the urge to eat and refused.

When he was young, he would wolf down whatever food others gave him. When he grew up and became sensible, he knew that this was not a good thing and that he should not always owe favors to others. He could survive on his own.

"If you don't want to eat it, I'll throw it away. I can't finish so much anyway." Li Qingyun pretended to throw it away.

Erniu took it immediately.

"Aunt, you..." He knew that she didn't really want to throw it away, she just wanted him to eat it. Thousands of words were stuck in his heart, and in the end he said nothing.

They both sat down and enjoyed their lunch together.

Erniu chewed the rare delicacy with care. He didn't expect that his aunt gave him a meat sauce wrap, and his aunt's cooking skills were really good. This was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten.

After his father passed away, he never tasted meat again, let alone such delicious food. He could only feed himself, but he was not starving. The food was better than what he ate at his second uncle's house.

"Erniu, you've suffered a lot." Li Qingyun couldn't help feeling sad when she saw how he ate with such care and attention.

"Aunt, I'm not suffering. I can support myself now, and I will grow up eventually." When he said this, there seemed to be a ray of light in Erniu's eyes.

Li Qingyun seemed to see a real man. At this moment, he was no longer the weak and helpless Erniu.

He already possesses the temperament of a strong man. The weak wag their tails and beg for mercy, but the strong never complain, but keep moving forward.

After lunch, Erniu climbed up the tree like a monkey to pick hickory nuts, while Li Qingyun picked them up under the tree.

After a while, Erniu finished picking walnuts and came down to pick them up together. They both filled their backpacks and there were still some left on the ground.

"Let's go, auntie. I'll take you down the mountain. You seldom come here, so you may not be familiar with the road." After eating, Erniu felt strong again and easily carried his backpack.

With his help, Li Qingyun also carried her backpack and prepared to go down the mountain. Her backpack was full, so she had to go down even if she didn't want to. Erniu was there, and she couldn't use the space.

However, while he was picking walnuts, Li Qingyun had already secretly smuggled a lot of walnuts into the space, probably a whole basket, so this trip could be considered a full load.

On the way back, Li Qingyun also met Aunt Jiang's eldest daughter-in-law, who was also carrying a basket of mountain products and preparing to go down the mountain.

There were many of them, so they filled a backpack and asked someone to carry one down. This was quite convenient and didn't waste time.

Unlike her, who is alone, if there is no space, she will have to go back after filling the basket.

After leaving the back mountain, Erniu still followed her.

"Erniu, aren't you going home?"

"Aunt, you saw these pecans first, so they should belong to yours. I'll help you deliver them." Erniu pointed to the basket on his back.

Li Qingyun didn't expect the child to be so honest. He just gave him lunch.

"You can take it back. You have done your part. This basket is all I need."

"Aunt, please accept it. I will take it back to my second uncle's family, it's not worth it." Erniu whispered.

When Li Qingyun heard him say this, he knew that the call was for his second uncle and aunt's house, so he stopped refusing and invited him in.

The two of them poured the pecans directly on the ground and spread them out to dry.

Li Qingyun made him a bowl of sugar water and gave him a few white flour cakes left in the kitchen.

"Take these. They'll help you eat when you're hungry while working in the afternoon." Li Qingyun stuffed them into his arms without hesitation.

"Thank you, auntie," Erniu murmured.

"You're welcome. If you have any difficulties in the future, come and see me. Also, I'll give you all the firewood for the winter. I'll pay you by the bundle when the time comes."

"Okay, thank you, auntie." Erniu smiled shyly.
