And the rain continued for three days in a row.
As the saying goes, spring rain is as precious as oil!
Although work in the fields cannot be done for the time being, people are still very happy.
What’s even more exciting is that now we can finally go to the distant mountains to pick mushrooms while it’s impossible to walk on the ground.
So on the third day, before the rain stopped, the villagers left the village wearing snakeskin bags.
You have to know that in this day and age, mushrooms can almost replace half of meat.
How can people nowadays have so much meat to eat during the Chinese New Year?
A few pieces of meat stewed with a big pot of mushrooms will make a delicious dish that will make you drool.
Of course, Shen Siyue and Shitou were also among the army of mushroom pickers.
Ever since she got married to Shitou and no longer had to cook secretly, Shen Siyue has never been short of meat in her mouth.
So in comparison, she prefers to eat mushrooms which are tender, smooth and not greasy.
All the mushrooms that Shitou had saved had long been eaten by her.
"We have to walk faster, otherwise the stones in front will be picked up by others!" Shen Siyue looked at the groups of people in front, pulling the stones forward anxiously.
Shitou smiled and said, "It's okay. I know a place with lots of mushrooms. No one will compete with you for them."
Shen Siyue’s big eyes widened with joy: “Really?”
Shitou patted his chest and assured: "Of course, otherwise I would have gone to the mountains in vain."
Shen Siyue thought so too. In the whole village, Shitou was the most diligent in running into the mountains.
When it comes to finding out what's inside each bump in the mountain, no one knows better than stone.
Shen Siyue smiled and put one hand on Shitou's arm to prevent herself from slipping, while chatting and laughing with him.
After the number of people around him gradually decreased until they reached the deep mountains with no people, Shen Siyue finally stopped laughing: “How far is the place you are talking about?”
On rainy days, the ground is slippery, and you have to climb the mountain. Even though Shen Siyue's body is now in good condition, she still feels tired.
Now her legs felt like they were filled with lead, and they were sore every time she lifted them.
Shitou took two steps forward and squatted down: "It's still a long way to go, can I carry you?"
Shen Siyue: ...
Now she finally understood why Shitou said that no one would compete with her for it.
It's so far away in the mountains, the villagers would never come here, so what are they robbing?
Although she was extremely tired, she didn't want to let Shitou carry her on her back on such a difficult mountain road.
But Shitou insisted on carrying Chen April.
He felt a little guilty. This distance was nothing to him.
But he forgot that Shen Siyue didn’t go into the mountains often.
They had never walked so far to hunt prey before.
When they finally reached the large pine forest that Shitou mentioned, Shen Siyue could no longer walk.
She waved her hands weakly: "No, no, I'll take a break first, I really can't move anymore."
Shitou held the bag in one hand and the basket on his back, and began to look around: "You sit here and rest, I will pick mushrooms."
He didn't go far, just circled around Shen Siyue looking for mushrooms.
After Shen Siyue rested for a while, her mouth started to become busy.
He shouted towards the rocks in the distance: "Anything? What mushrooms did you pick up?"
Stone: "Straw mushrooms, and some ant mushrooms."
"Ah? No pine mushrooms?" Shen Siyue muttered in disappointment. She loved eating pine mushrooms the most.
She likes it whether it is stewed or fried.
After Shen Siyue had rested enough, she also stood up and began to search around.
Because it is April now, there are pine mushrooms, but less.
Fortunately, it seems that few people come to this place, but there are quite a lot of other mushrooms.
The two of them began a carpet search, one on the left and one on the right.
During this time, Shitou kept reminding her not to pick up anything poisonous.
When Shen Siyue saw something she was unsure of, she looked for Shi Tou to confirm it, and by the way, she also identified it herself.
There are many mushrooms that look very similar, one is non-toxic, while the other is poisonous, making it difficult to guard against them.
There are several other species, all called Amanita, and they are all poisonous.
While picking mushrooms, Shitou explained to Shen Siyue the symptoms of poisoning from each poisonous mushroom.
Until she heard that there was a kind of mushroom called "Amanita muscaria", which was said to cause people to fall into a coma if eaten.
Shen Siyue's eyes lit up, and she said to Shitou slyly, "Then we have to pick up some of these, maybe they can come in handy?"
Stone:......
Come in handy?
Who is it for?
Give it to him?
Poisonous mushrooms are one of the few most common poisonous things in rural areas.
This thing is usually used by women when they want to do that to their men.
Shitou thought carefully about what happened after they got married, and it seemed that he had never made his wife angry in any way.
Over there, Shen Siyue was still picking up these slightly red mushrooms with shining eyes.
If this thing is used on the Shen family, then...
The more Shen Siyue thought about it, the more excited she became. She turned around happily and was about to share her "joy" with Shi Tou, when she saw Shi Tou looking at her with a melancholy expression.
"Uh, what's wrong with you? Why do you look a little unhappy?" Shen Siyue was puzzled.
Shitou asked her with a look of grievance: "What are you going to do with these mushrooms?"
"You mean this? Of course it was eaten by people, I tell you..."
Shen Siyue ran and stumbled to Shitou's side, then leaned over and whispered in his ear for a long time.
The expression on Shi Tou's face changed from aggrieved and depressed at the beginning, to surprise in the middle, and to shock at the end.
