They were so aggressive, it was as if they wanted to smash holes in everyone!

Most of them had some experience of fleeing famine, so when faced with this situation, they didn't need anyone else to organize them; they all took out things from their packs that could be used to build small shelters to protect themselves from the rain.

As for those who lack something, they can only stand up and find a big tree to shelter from the rain.

Mo Qianshang's family naturally does not belong to this category of people.

She immediately called on all the children to help build the shed. They all said that many hands make light work, and in no time, their little rain shelter was ready.

Not only that, she also secretly added a layer of plastic film bought from the mall in the middle and specially reinforced several support points of the rain shelter.

Perhaps God took pity on them, because after everyone had set up their shelter, the torrential rain gradually subsided, and the family was able to sleep soundly together.

The next day, the fine drizzle was still falling at an angle. Mo Qianshang woke up from her dream and met Qin Qingyu's clear and pure eyes.

Before Mo Qianshang could even ask, the little boy made a gesture of request.

“Mother, Aunt Yao told Xiaoyun and me before that some medicinal herbs can only be found after rain. The rain isn't heavy right now, so I want to go look for some herbs…”

Knowing that her mother was most worried about their health, Qin Qingyu's voice involuntarily softened as she spoke, and her round head drooped lower and lower.

Mo Qianshang felt a pang of sympathy seeing this.

Thinking that this child had always been well-behaved, only excessively obsessed with studying medicine, and considering that the rain outside wasn't too heavy, she hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"You can go, but Mother has one condition."

"Mother, just say what you need to say, and I will definitely obey." Qin Qingyu's eyes sparkled like the stars in the sky, showing just how happy he was.

“Xiaoyun is a girl after all. If you walk around in the mountains alone with him, it will inevitably attract gossip from others. So what I mean is, you should find a few more friends to go with you. With more people, even if some people have dirty thoughts, we'll have something to say to them.”

Having just been tricked by someone, Mo Qianshang had to be wary of others following suit.

Qin Qingyu nodded thoughtfully, glanced at her third brother who was smiling foolishly in his sleep, tidied her clothes, and ran to another shed.

A moment later, he came running back happily, "Mommy, I found four more friends to join me."

“Two of them are from hunter families. They went hunting in the mountains with their families a couple of years ago and are very experienced. If anything happens, they can help us solve it, so Mother doesn’t need to worry too much.”

Seeing how clever and easy to manage her son was, Mo Qianshang couldn't help but pat Qin Qingyu's shoulder, her eyes filled with satisfaction and admiration.

"That's right, Qin Yu has grown up a bit and is considering things more comprehensively now."

Feeling a little embarrassed by the sudden praise, Qin Qingyu turned her head away and said modestly in a low voice, "It's all thanks to my mother's good teaching."

These words made Mo Qianshang's lips curl up in a smile, completely unaware that Qin Baiyi was watching them with deep eyes not far away, seemingly lost in thought.

Knowing that it was almost lunchtime, Mo Qianshang went out for a stroll, fried the wild eggs she bought from the mall as if they were found in the woods for the children, and also heated up a few pancakes.

The children ate happily, surrounding Mo Qianshang and unwilling to let go.

Finally, a few of her friends came looking for her, and Qin Qingyu reluctantly shouldered her little basket and went to collect herbs with them.

He had a goal in mind: before the whole village found a new place to stay, he was determined to learn to identify all the medicinal herbs in the medical book that Aunt Yao had.

At the same time, he used the medicinal herbs he had collected in the mountains to support his medical studies, so that his mother's burden could be lighter.

Later, once he learns some skills, he can go with Aunt Yao to treat other people. With the income from his consultations, he can help his mother support the family.

The more Qin Qingyu thought about it, the more hopeful she felt for the future, and her steps became lighter.

It's often said that good things happen to people and they're in high spirits. He just glanced at it casually and saw what looked like a Ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom) near a big tree.

According to what Aunt Yao had told them, this Ganoderma lucidum was at least a hundred years old.

He can't miss this!

"Everyone, come with me! There's something good here!" Qin Qingyu hurriedly called out to his companions who were walking ahead, and then ran towards the location of the Ganoderma lucidum.

He passed through several thorny vines along the way, which almost scratched his face, but he didn't care at all; his eyes were only on the Ganoderma lucidum.

The companions who followed were surprised to find that there was Ganoderma lucidum, and they all stared at Qin Qingyu with envy, praising him.

"Qingyu, you're amazing! You found the Ganoderma lucidum so quickly, this trip was totally worth it!"

"Exactly! But my dad said we have to be extra careful when digging for Ganoderma lucidum. If we accidentally damage it, it won't fetch a good price!"

“That’s what my mother said too…” Liu Xiaoyun took the initiative to squat down next to Qin Qingyu, trying hard to recall the points that Xiao Yaoshi had told them, and carefully assisted Qin Qingyu.

The other children had no experience and had never learned about herbs, so they could only stare at them intently for a moment, so nervous that they almost forgot to breathe.

Just as the entire Ganoderma lucidum was about to be dug out, the dark sky suddenly brightened as if it were daytime, followed by a bolt of lightning.

Before the children could even see where they had been struck, they discovered that the surrounding thorny vines had burst into flames.

They wanted to run out quickly, but they were reluctant to leave the Ganoderma lucidum behind, and were in a dilemma.

"Run, you guys! Once I've dug out all the Ganoderma lucidum, I won't forget you!" Qin Qingyu shouted to his companions as he sped up his digging.

Despite their small size, the little ones were all loyal and determined, their little faces full of resolve.

"No, we came together, so we should go back together! I don't want to be a deserter!"

"Yes! We won't desert!"

*

Listening to his friends' enthusiastic voices, Qin Qingyu was completely overwhelmed. He hadn't expected his friends to be such good friends!

His mind raced for a moment, then he looked around and finally found a small opening in the fire.

"The fire is getting bigger and bigger. If no one goes out to tell the adults, we'll all be burned to death here! Hurry, the fire is smaller over there. Quickly wet your clothes and run out to call for help!"

His companions were finally persuaded by his words and began to whisper among themselves about who should go back and call for help.

After a quick and heated discussion, apart from the two hunters' children who stayed to help, the other children ran back together to deliver the message.

When the Ganoderma lucidum was completely unearthed, the children were illuminated by the firelight, and even their slightly damp clothes were dried.

If you rush out now, you'll either be burned to death or suffer extensive burns.

Qin Qingyu and Liu Xiaoyun exchanged a glance, recalling Xiao Yao's teachings about burns, and both shook their heads.
