Lin Changan nodded, put the rabbit into the basket, picked up the basket and followed Lin Yunchu down the mountain.

As Lin Yunchu walked, she picked some wild vegetables that she had seen when she first entered the mountains.

I saw a wild peppercorn on the road and picked a handful. There were not many ingredients at home, so I picked some wild peppercorns to stew rabbit meat.

When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, they covered their backpacks and vegetable baskets with wild vegetables.

Otherwise, if they met anyone on the road, it would be difficult to tell them that the two of them had gone into the mountains.

Today, the backpacks they brought into the mountains were already full, and the baskets were also filled with rabbits, so the two of them didn't stay in the fields for too long and went straight back to the Lin family.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw that Lin's father, Lin's mother and Lin Changting had already returned home. I guess there was not much work in the fields today, so they came back early.

I saw Lin Yunchu and Lin Changan, one carrying a backpack and the other holding a basket, both looking a little out of breath.

A few people thought that they were going to the fields to pick wild vegetables as they did in the previous few days, but they saw wild vegetables still on the backpacks and baskets.

Lin Changting and Lin Changshun hurried forward, one helped Lin Yunchu put down the backpack on his back, and the other helped take the basket in his hand.

I thought the backpack and basket were full of wild vegetables, but when I picked them up, why were they so heavy?

What is in here? Wild vegetables don’t weigh this much.

Lin Changting and Lin Changshun looked at each other, a hint of doubt flashed across their faces.

Father Lin sensed something strange between the two of them and quickly stood up and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like that?"

He was fine just now, why does he suddenly look like something is wrong?

Lin Changting and Lin Changshun looked at each other, but neither of them responded. They didn't know what to say.

While hesitating, Lin Yunchu raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, thinking that the two of them must have guessed that the basket did not contain wild vegetables.

Then he took out the wild vegetables on the top of the basket, revealing the wood ears underneath.

Seeing this, Lin's father and mother also came over to see what was in the basket. It seemed like they had never seen it before.

What did Yun Chu pick these things for? Didn’t the two of them go out to pick wild vegetables today? Why did they bring back these things?

Finally, it was Father Lin who came to his senses first and asked, "Yun Chu, what are these dark brown things? Why did you pick so many of them?"

Father Lin originally wanted to ask if these things were edible. The colors looked a bit strange and black, and they didn’t look like something edible.

Before Lin Yunchu could reply, Lin Changshun immediately asked his own question: "Yeah, didn't you go digging for wild vegetables? These black things, what can you do with them?"

Mother Lin felt a little annoyed. If she had known this earlier, she would not have gone to the fields with Father Lin and the others today. Lin Yunchu had just recovered a few days ago, and the wild vegetables he picked a few days ago were probably just a coincidence.

Since she was not at home today, she picked these things that she did not recognize. She did not know where they picked them, and she had never seen them before.

Lin Yunchu smiled and didn't say anything for the time being. He walked to the eaves and took out two bamboo baskets. He turned around and took out the wood ears from the top part of the backpack.

First hang them on the bamboo basket to dry, and after all the wood ears are taken out, the mushrooms at the bottom of the basket will be exposed.

Father Lin and the others looked at each other in surprise again and were speechless for a moment.

This thing seems to have looked similar to this one in the wild, but it is different.

Why did Lin Yunchu pick up so many strange things today?

Lin Yunchu carefully poured out the mushrooms below and placed them in another bamboo frame to dry.

It had been in the backpack for so long that she was afraid it would be accidentally crushed.

Seeing that the mushrooms were still intact after being poured out, she finally felt relieved.

Only then did he raise his head and explain to the others, "This is called wood ear mushroom, and this is called mushroom. They are both edible and taste very good."

fungus?

Mushrooms?

Several people kept repeating the two names that Lin Yunchu said in their minds.

Never heard of it!

After hearing this, several people looked at Lin Yunchu in unison, wanting to know more.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that this fungus looks a little ugly, it tastes really good. We can also dry it and keep it for eating in the winter. Then we don't have to worry about having nothing to eat in the winter."

The wood ear mushrooms and fungi are dried. As long as they are stored well, they can be kept for a long time. While there are many mountain products on the mountain now, we can pick more and dry them. This way, the Lin family can live more comfortably this winter.

Several people opened their eyes wide, still unable to believe it.

Lin Yunchu smiled and didn't explain. She would let them all taste it when she made it in the evening. Then they would believe it.

Then they took out the wild vegetables from the basket, and a gray-haired wild rabbit appeared in front of everyone in the Lin family.

Now they were even more shocked. It would be fine if they picked some wild vegetables, but how come there were also... rabbits?

This really is a rabbit!

"Rabbit...Rabbit!"

Lin Changshun pointed at the hare in the basket and stammered, "Really... is it a rabbit?"

When Lin Yunchu heard this, he immediately burst out laughing.

"Brother, feel it and see if it's real."

Lin Yunchu's words seemed to have some magic power. Lin Changshun really stretched out his hand, shook it, and really touched the rabbit in the basket.

Really, it’s soft and warm.

"Dad, Mom, it really is a rabbit, it really is a rabbit!"

"Little sister, where did you get the rabbit?"

Then he turned around and asked Lin Yunchu in surprise.

How lucky are these two people? They can catch rabbits just by going out to dig wild vegetables. There are so many rabbits outside, can they catch them everywhere?

Then how come he didn’t see anything when he worked in the fields every day?

After hearing what Lin Changshun said, Lin's father was not as calm as him. Instead, he frowned and asked Lin Yunchu and Lin Changan, "Did you two go into the mountains today?"

Go into the mountains?

Lin's father's words surprised Lin's mother and Lin Changting, the two brothers present.

In just half a day, they ran up the mountain. How could they be so brave to go into the mountain without an adult accompanying them?

Mother Lin felt a pang of fear in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more she regretted it. She should not have gone out today. Otherwise, with her following her, the two children would never dare to go into the mountains.

At most they would dig some wild vegetables and go to the river to catch a few fish. Why did they become so bold when she was not around?

Lin Changan shrank his neck and said, "Dad, don't blame my sister. I went into the mountains just to have fun."

Although Lin Changan felt a little timid when he saw his father's stern face, he still stood up first and took the responsibility of going into the mountains today, for fear that his sister would be scolded later.

Lin Yunchu looked at her younger brother who had been following her these days, and a warm feeling flowed through her heart.
