Chapter 17 Going Up the Mountain 2
Grandma Gu and her group went up the mountain, but even the wild vegetables on the outskirts of the mountain had disappeared.
She and her children didn't dare venture deep into the mountains; they could only wander around the outskirts.
Gu Yihan diligently searched for wild vegetables while silently complaining in her mind.
The story includes tales of a female protagonist encountering a wild boar on a mountain, being rescued by a heroic male protagonist, falling into a cave where she finds gold and ginseng roots for her to pick.
He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't see where he was standing and stepped in cow dung.
Gu Yihan didn't even need to look to know that she was destined to be a supporting female character.
She can only find a way to work in the city on her own. She's not destined to meet a mentor, sob sob sob, she's destined to only step in dog poop.
"Grandma, I stepped in cow dung." Gu Yihan stood there stiffly.
Grandma Gu heard that someone had stepped in cow dung, walked over to her granddaughter and exclaimed, "Wow, Hanhan, you're so lucky! Such a big lump!"
"That little cowherd didn't clean up all the cow dung, and you missed some." Gu Yihan was furious.
He quickly took off his shoes.
He stiffly said to Grandma Gu, "Grandma, these shoes still have good luck on them, so I won't wear them for now. I'll go home and polish them in our plot of land so that our vegetables can also get some good luck."
Gu Meng looked at Gu Yihan's expression and chuckled, "So you're planning to go back barefoot?"
Gu Yihan looked at her and smiled, saying, "I'll wear straw sandals back; I can weave them myself."
Grandma Gu looked at her granddaughter in surprise: "When did you learn to weave straw sandals?"
Gu Yihan tugged at Grandma Gu's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Don't you know whose granddaughter I am? I learned how to weave it after watching Grandpa do it a few times."
Grandma Gu didn't hesitate; she picked up the cow dung and went to look for wild vegetables.
Gu Yihan looked at Gu Meng smugly. It wasn't that she looked down on her; she had grown up in an orphanage and knew how to cook, sew, and weave straw sandals.
She found some cattails nearby suitable for weaving straw sandals and began to weave them with her nimble fingers. However, she lacked strength in her hands and could only manage to wear them with difficulty, but she didn't mind.
Gu Yihan put on her straw sandals: "Grandma, I'm going to look for wild vegetables over there."
Grandma Gu, who was digging for wild vegetables, heard the sound, looked up, and saw the direction her granddaughter was pointing. She said, "Okay, be careful, don't go too far."
Gu Yihan walked towards a less crowded area. Finding something in a group was a big no-no, and she wasn't going to go with them.
As she walked, she searched for wild vegetables. Gu Yihan had been living in this era ever since she arrived.
Although her family didn't let her go hungry, it was still a world of difference compared to her life in her previous life. Fortunately, she secretly ate extra meals and never lacked anything. She always kept her private space to herself and didn't trust anyone.
So I can't feel that feeling of them picking and taking home any wild vegetables they see sprouting.
She carefully selected and picked out only the best-looking wild vegetables.
Gu Yihan saw a hole next to the mound. Could it be a rabbit hole? She found several holes around the area.
Gu Yihan cautiously looked around and found no one.
He took out a small shovel from the space, leaving only two holes, and blocked the rest.
She gathered some dry grass and wood, lit a fire, and sent it to one of the holes, while she blocked the entrance to the other hole with a basket.
After smoking for half an hour, Gu Yihan heard a noise and finally saw four gray rabbits and six baby rabbits run into the basket.
She was overjoyed to see the rabbits, tied them with straw rope, placed them underneath, covered them with wild vegetables, and ran straight towards Grandma Gu.
Grandma Gu heard the noise and saw her granddaughter running with her hair flying in the air: "Slow down, don't fall."
Gu Yihan said mysteriously, "Grandma, let me show you the baby?"
Grandma Gu glanced suspiciously into the basket her granddaughter had put down, and lo and behold, a rabbit!
He immediately stopped digging for wild vegetables and asked, "Did you catch these?"
Gu Yihan said smugly, "It's from the smoke. I blocked the rabbit hole."
Grandma Gu said happily, "Smart, all that schooling wasn't for nothing. Let's go home."
"Mengmeng, Daya, it's time to go home!" Grandma Gu called out.
Gu Meng and Gu Daya said in unison, "We know, Grandma."
When Zhang, the wife of village party secretary Gu Guodong, saw Grandma Gu and the others about to go down the mountain, she said, "Auntie, you're going down the mountain so early?"
Grandma Gu said with a smile, "I'm getting old, I can't deny it anymore. My legs are starting to hurt, so I have to go back."
After saying goodbye to the others, the mother and her children went down the mountain together.
Gu Yihan didn't see the vicious look in Liu Zhaodi's eyes as she watched her, and the low murmur: "How lucky you are. You should be like me."
