Yuan Shitou shamelessly followed Yun Xiaoxiao around.

Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes were blurry from spinning around.

She glared at him fiercely: "Why are you always hanging around in front of me?"

"Did a mushroom grow on my face?"

The current Yun Xiaoxiao is nothing like the timid girl she was when she first arrived.

She's a complete shrew.

She had long forgotten what she had said and the feigned weakness she had once put on.

Yuan Shitou didn't think anything of it at all.

On the contrary, I feel that Yun Xiaoxiao is the most vibrant now.

It was also his favorite.

So no matter how fierce or unreasonable Yun Xiaoxiao is.

He was always willing to give in to her.

The other girls watched them and secretly smiled.

Around noon, a few young men came over and invited them to go back together.

These kids were still a little afraid of Yuan Shitou.

The main problem is that Yuan Shitou is too fierce.

Especially when fighting.

That fierceness was like it wanted to flatten you.

He has a scar on his face, which he got from a fight with people from other villages.

You could say he was the most capable person in the whole village.

When Yuan Shitou saw that there were indeed a few young men, his alarm bells immediately went off.

Watching them warily, she would occasionally step between Xiaoxiao and them, trying to keep them at a distance.

After parting ways with everyone, only Yun Xiaoxiao and Yuan Shitou remained.

Yun Xiaoxiao turned around and left immediately.

She wouldn't even glance at him, let alone wait for him.

Yuan Shitou realized he was wrong.

I didn't dare say anything, for fear that if I said something wrong, Xiao Xiao would get even angrier.

I had no choice but to follow quickly from behind.

And so this situation arose on the village path.

A little girl with a long braid was walking quickly ahead.

Every now and then, I have to jog a few steps.

A tall, burly man carrying a basket on his back followed behind.

Not in a hurry, not at all.

That one step was equivalent to two or even three steps for a little girl.

It looked like bandits chasing after a respectable young woman.

Seeing that she was almost home, Yun Xiaoxiao started running quickly.

Yuan Shitou watched her running figure from behind, smiling indulgently.

When Yuan's mother saw Yun Xiaoxiao return, she quickly prepared a basin of water for her to wash her face.

The water is warm, not cold.

Yuan Shitou, who returned later, did not receive this treatment.

He didn't mind and used the water that Yun Xiaoxiao had used to wash himself as well.

At the dinner table, Yun Xiaoxiao smiled and told Yuan's mother about their mushroom picking that day.

Yuan's mother responded with a smile, and the two chatted and laughed, just like a real mother and daughter.

After lunch, Yun Xiaoxiao took Gou Dan'er to take a nap.

I didn't go up the mountain again in the afternoon.

First, the sun was too strong; second, the surrounding mountains had been almost completely searched.

There aren't many mushrooms left.

If Yuan Shitou is willing to accompany her, she wants to go to Misty Mountain tomorrow.

No one has been to Misty Mountain yet, so there must be something there.

Yuan Shitou did not have the habit of taking a nap.

He cleaned out the half-basket of mushrooms that Yun Xiaoxiao had picked and hung it on the wall.

Then I washed the cloth shoes that Yun Xiaoxiao had taken off.

Then he carried his basket outside to cut grass to feed the rabbits.

So that I won't have to get it cut again when my little one wakes up in a bit.

Let her stay home and play with Gou Dan.

It can be said that Yuan Shitou doted on Yun Xiaoxiao like a child, fearing that she would be too tired and not grow tall.

Especially now, he has stood Yun Xiaoxiao up twice.

He was even more cautious when Yun Xiaoxiao ignored him.

It's not that he's that afraid of Yun Xiaoxiao, after all, he has so many Xiaoxiaos.

It's only right that he gives in a little.

That evening, Yuan Shitou approached Xiaoxiao and told her that he would go up the mountain with her the next day.

He repeatedly assured her that he wouldn't stand her up.

Yun Xiaoxiao didn't say much; whether she would go or not would have to be decided tomorrow.

Actually, Yun Xiaoxiao really wanted to go.

She just loves going to the mountains; she can't stay at home.

The next morning, Yun Xiaoxiao was woken up by Yuan Shitou.

She came out rubbing her eyes, and Yuan Shitou had already prepared breakfast.

Seeing that Yun Xiaoxiao was still standing to the side, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.

I filled a basin with water for washing her face and placed it in front of her, then smiled and said:

"Come and take a shower, you'll feel refreshed afterward."

He noticed that Yun Xiaoxiao hadn't moved and wanted to help her wash.

Yun Xiaoxiao quickly reached out and grabbed the handkerchief: "I can do it myself."

The two quickly finished their meal, then carried their baskets and went out.

Last night, Gou Dan'er had an upset stomach and was up almost all night.

Yuan's mother had to take care of him, so she hadn't gotten up until Xiao Xiao and the others left.

Yun Xiaoxiao told Yuan Shitou directly that they were going to Misty Mountain this time.

Yuan Shitou was unwilling.

Misty Mountain is dangerous; try to avoid going there if possible.

Yun Xiaoxiao insisted, thinking that her family still owed her 20 yuan when they bought her, and she needed to find a way to pay it back as soon as possible.

She will spend the rest of her life here.

Therefore, we need to earn more money.

However, this place is deep in the mountains and forests, and it is isolated from the outside world.

Earning money is difficult.

When she heard Yuan Shitou say that there was a mountain road that led to the outside world, her mind started to wander.

Especially after having so many dried mushrooms, I became even more determined to sell them outside.

You might end up spending a lot of money.

At first, she thought that if there was no other way, she would take the path the peddler had taken.

The peddler's route was very circuitous; it might take him more than twenty days just to get out of the mountains.

The road Yuan Shitou and his group took was a bit dangerous, but they could get out in a few days.

So she decided to risk taking this path.

Actually, there is another way to go.

This is the road that the family who sold her led her along on the day she arrived.

It seemed that apart from that family, no one else was willing to take that road.

Not to mention the peddler, even Yuan Shitou and his group never left.

I don't know why?

It seems Fan Xiaohua took the same route back.

I wanted to ask Yuan Shitou, but I felt it wasn't the right time.

However, she only kept these thoughts to herself.

If I tell my family, they will definitely object.

Especially Yuan Shitou.

We need to find a way to get them to agree.

Otherwise, it would take years to pay off this 20 yuan debt.

Not to mention she wants to get rich and live a good life.

She still needs to save money to go find her brother.

Seeing that Yun Xiaoxiao hadn't said a word the whole way, Yuan Shitou assumed she was angry again.

In the end, he had no choice but to compromise: "Fine, I'll do as you say, let's go to Misty Mountain."

Yun Xiaoxiao was lost in thought and didn't hear what he said clearly.

I asked instinctively, "What did you just say?"

Yuan Shitou repeated it again.

Yun Xiaoxiao was still quite surprised. Didn't they just tell her not to go?

Why have you come to a change of heart now?

However, she wasn't foolish enough to ask Yuan Shitou, in case he changed his mind again.

I figured no one had ever been to Misty Mountain, so there must be lots of mushrooms inside.

Perhaps their baskets will be full.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiaoxiao smiled.

Seeing that she was happy, Yuan Shitou was happy too.

Yun Xiaoxiao ignored Yuan Shitou behind her.

Like a little bird, it stretched out its arms and ran quickly ahead.

He ran while shouting, "Brother Stone, hurry up!"

Yuan Shitou felt that Xiao Xiao was his nemesis, someone who came specifically to bring him down.
