Lin Qingyan saw the colorful mushrooms and ignored them. Jiang Meihong asked, "Qingyan, why didn't you pick those mushrooms? They look so fresh, they must taste good too."
Upon hearing this, Shen Man also looked at the mushrooms that Lin Qingyan had overlooked. As someone who had studied modern medicine, she naturally knew that those were poisonous mushrooms.
Before Lin Qingyan could explain to Jiang Meihong that they were poisonous mushrooms, she subconsciously said, "Those are poisonous mushrooms; eating them can kill you."
They all eat from the same pot, and reminding others is also a way of protecting themselves.
Jiang Meihong immediately withdrew her hand. "Shen Zhiqing, thank you for reminding me. This is my first time picking mushrooms on the mountain. I didn't know that mushrooms are divided into poisonous and non-poisonous ones."
Shen Man continued, "It's not just mushrooms; many things are divided into poisonous and non-poisonous. If you eat these poisonous mushrooms, you may experience diarrhea at best, and in severe cases, it can be fatal."
"Shen Zhiqing, I didn't expect you to know so much so soon after arriving here?" Hu Jiajia said.
Shen Man had only been here for three months. The first two times they came to the mountain to pick mushrooms, it coincided with Shen Man's menstrual period. She had stomach pains and couldn't come. No one had ever told her the difference between poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms.
Shen Man smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "When I was at home, my grandmother told me that her family lived in the countryside, so I know a little about it."
She would never reveal that she had studied medicine in her previous life or that she was a time traveler.
Thinking about this, she started to get irritated again.
Why can't God give her some space?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath, "Damn it!"
“Shen Zhiqing, what did you say?” Hu Jiajia asked.
She didn't seem to understand what Shen Zhiqing was saying.
Lin Qingyan was a bit far away from her, but she vaguely felt that what she said sounded familiar.
Shen Man quickly realized: "This is my maternal grandmother's local dialect. You may not understand it, but it means 'oh dear'."
"Oh, I see."
Shen Man let out a soft breath, knowing she would have to be very careful about what she said in front of these educated youth in the future.
After they finish picking the mushrooms here, they will go look for other places where mushrooms grow.
The mushrooms on the mountain grew in areas of varying sizes, and gradually they dispersed, usually in groups of two or three.
Lin Sisi and Shen Man were together. From a distance, Lin Sisi saw some plump mushrooms growing under some bushes, so she quickly picked up her basket and went over.
Perhaps because she was unfamiliar with the mountain path, and because she was so focused on the mushrooms that she didn't pay much attention to her footing, she suddenly fell into a pit with a thud and let out a scream.
Shen Man turned around, but she could no longer see her.
But Chen Man remained calm and even found it somewhat amusing.
Then came Lin Sisi's cries for help from the pit: "Help! Shen Zhiqing, where are you? Please come and save me!"
"Oh, Lin Zhiqing, what's wrong?"
"I...I've fallen into this pit, come quickly and pull me out."
Lin Sisi tried to reach her hand up, wondering if Shen Man could see it.
Shen Man knew she couldn't stand by and watch someone die, so she agreed, "Okay, I'll be right there."
When she reached the edge of the pit, Chen Lu and Hu Jiajia also arrived. Lin Qingyan heard Lin Sisi calling her, so she deliberately slowed down and watched the commotion from a distance.
However, Lin Sisi's problem wasn't just falling into a pit; she also twisted her ankle.
Chen Lu called to Shen Man, trying to pull her up, but the pit was too deep, and Lin Sisi couldn't stand because of her foot injury, so Chen Lu and Shen Man couldn't reach her.
“Lin Zhiqing, hang in there a little longer, I’ll go find a stick to pull you up.”
"good."
At this moment, Lin Sisi looked at the group of educated youths gathered around the pit to watch the commotion, and a wave of resentment surged in her heart.
Everyone else is fine, why is she the only one who's so unlucky?
Then, she subconsciously raised her hand to touch her chest.
In the past, whenever Lin Qingyan was frustrated or upset, or whenever she encountered something good, she would touch the jade pendant on her chest, believing that it was the good fortune brought to her by the jade pendant.
Now that she doesn't wear that jade pendant anymore, she's started to have bad luck.
She suddenly remembered that it was already autumn, and everyone had switched to long sleeves and trousers, with higher collars. She could no longer wipe herself down in the dormitory at night, so she should be able to take out the jade pendant and wear it now.
Lin Sisi was still hesitant. If she wore the phoenix jade pendant, she was afraid that the greedy Shen Man would see it.
Perhaps after a while, when it gets cold and everyone is wearing sweaters and down jackets, it will be fine, then we can be even more covered up.
Chen Lu found a wooden stick, handed one end of it to Lin Sisi, and together with Shen Man, they pulled Lin Sisi up.
But when they were pulling Lin Sisi, Chen Lu felt very strained, as if Shen Man was just pretending without exerting much effort, and she bore most of the weight.
She sighed inwardly. No one is perfect, so how could she expect everyone to be like her?
In truth, I had come to understand Shen Man's character in my heart—all that glitters is not gold, all that rots is cotton.
After being pulled up, Lin Sisi sat on the ground, rubbing her aching ankle.
Although Shen Man is an obstetrician and gynecologist, she also knows some bone-setting techniques and has ways to treat minor injuries such as sprained ankles.
But why should she treat Lin Sisi's injuries?
She wouldn't do it, risking the exposure of her transmigrator identity.
Lin Qingyan, who was not far away, saw that Lin Sisi not only didn't treat her injuries, but didn't even bother to go over and take a look.
A doctor's heart is full of compassion.
Firstly, she is not yet a formally recognized doctor.
Secondly, she wouldn't use her medical skills to serve her enemies.
Her kindness towards Lin Sisi was her cruelty towards herself.
After Lin Sisi was injured, she rested where she was, while the others continued with their usual tasks. Chen Lu told Lin Sisi, "We'll try to find mushrooms near you. If anything happens to you, just call us."
"good."
Two hours later, the female educated youth had filled their baskets with mushrooms and wild vegetables, and the male educated youth had gathered a lot of firewood, preparing to go down the mountain and go home.
Lin Sisi sprained her ankle and couldn't walk, so Wang Qiang asked Lin Guanghui to carry her down the mountain.
Lin Guanghui was very reluctant; carrying Lin Sisi was not as easy as carrying a bundle of firewood.
She was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do; there was no one more suitable to carry Lin Sisi than him.
He handed the firewood to the other male educated youths, asked Chen Lu for help, helped Lin Sisi onto his back, and then carried Lin Sisi down the mountain.
The mountain road is difficult to walk; as the saying goes, going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is hard.
When going uphill, people have plenty of energy and are walking upwards, so it is not easy to encounter danger.
On the way down the mountain, Lin Guanghui's strength was almost exhausted from going up to gather firewood. There was also a risk of slipping and other dangers during the descent, so going down the mountain was more difficult than going up.
Lin Guanghui is carrying Lin Sisi on his back now, and the greater the weight, the more difficult it is for him to walk.
It can be said that Lin Guanghui had the most difficult journey among these educated youth.
