She carried her son on her back and leaped down the mountain like a monkey.

Once inside the bamboo forest, besides the various types of bamboo growing straight and upwards, there were basically no other shrubs besides the thick bamboo leaves and sparse, low-lying wild grass.

With no obstacles underfoot, Chen Hong ran very fast. Entering the bamboo forest, the air was damp, the temperature rose, and it felt somewhat eerie.

Yu Yang looked around from his mother's back. As far as the eye could see, there were bamboo trees everywhere, and no trace of anyone having walked by.

"Mom, are there snakes in the bamboo forest?"

"I don't know, there aren't many, Shandong basically doesn't have any venomous snakes."

However, we cannot let our guard down. You must stay close to your mother and not act on your own.

"After we settle in, Mom will clean up properly, and then you can go play in the bamboo forest."

"Okay, Mom, I understand. Mom, look there, all white, with a gray head sticking out, is it a snake?"

"Oh dear, Mom! There are snakes over there, and over here too! How come there are so many snakes? I wonder if these snakes are poisonous?"

Yu Yang was so frightened that he kicked and jumped wildly on his mother's back, almost falling off. Chen Hong was startled and quickly threw the short knife into the bamboo basket, supporting her son's bottom with both hands.

Following the direction her son was pointing, she chuckled: "Son, you scared me! Sit tight, you almost fell and hurt yourself."

That's not a snake, those are bamboo fungus, you've eaten them before, Mom often stews them with chicken for you.

It's the kind of mushroom that looks like a little white umbrella or a white lace dress worn by a female classmate, and it tastes especially fresh and is very nutritious.

Do you remember last year when Mom brought home a big basket of mushrooms, and you even helped her clean the little gray caps off the mushrooms?

You also said that the mushroom was wearing a white gauze skirt and a little steel helmet, and that it was really fun.
