Several trees were knocked down when the flood came before, and no one took care of them at the time. Over time, wood ear mushrooms and fungi grew on the dead wood.
The girls and wives in the team like to stop by here to pick some after the rain or when they are chopping firewood.
But that stuff neither keeps you full nor is it worth much. Now that it's cold and it hasn't rained for a while, I doubt anyone will come to pick it up.
Sure enough, when the tenth month passed, they found that a dead tree was covered with tiny wood ear mushrooms.
It was a dark, patchy mass, and it looked like you could pick several kilograms of it.
A smile immediately appeared in her eyes.
Shiyue silently began picking wood ear mushrooms.
After she had picked all the wood ear mushrooms off a dead tree, her vision began to blur.
She looked up at the sky and found that the sun was already setting in the west.
She quickly stood up and hurried back the way she came.
When she returned to the hillside, the three of them were still digging holes with their butts sticking out.
It's clear they gained a lot.
On the ground next to the pit, there were already five yams, three long and two short.
Shiyue roughly estimated that it must weigh at least 20 pounds.
"Let's go back, it'll be dark soon if we don't leave now," she said to the three of them.
The three people got up from the ground.
They were clearly exhausted. Jiang Dong and Ye Pu'an surrounded He Lixuan, staring at his hands and making a lot of noise.
Shiyue leaned over for a look and discovered that the person had two large blisters on their fair palm!
Bright red and gleaming, it was rather frightening.
She couldn't help but click her tongue inwardly.
So tender!
She had never seen a grown man with such soft hands!
Her hands were even softer than those of a seven or eight-year-old girl.
With this kind of skill—how will we be able to work in the fields when spring comes?
Let alone working in the fields, he probably won't even be able to build a house tomorrow.
She stared at the hand covered in blood blisters again and couldn't help but feel worried for the person.
However, she didn't say much, and kindly comforted me, saying, "Go back and prick it with a needle, then apply some wood ash."
He Lixuan was taken aback by these words.
His usually calm face almost cracked!
He almost instantly put his hands behind his back.
He looked as if he was afraid Shiyue would grab his hand and forcefully sprinkle ashes on him.
Shiyue was almost amused by this person!
Does she really have the time to care about him?
He doesn't understand polite words at all; he's so simple-minded.
She snorted inwardly, but pretended not to notice anything, and took the lead in carrying the basket and leading the three people down the mountain.
Shiyue was familiar with the route, and going downhill was faster than going uphill. It had only been a little over an hour when they reached the village entrance.
Just as Shiyue slowed down to catch her breath, she heard Jiang Dong behind her suddenly yell, "Shiyue, your house is on fire!"
