Shiyue buried her head and began hacking away wildly, unknowingly cutting down twenty or thirty trees.
Yu Chuxia quietly returned at some point.
She was still afraid of insects and wished she could stay as far away as possible from the split bamboo tube.
But she wasn't idle either; she silently dragged the bamboo that Shiyue had cut out out of the forest, working up a sweat in the process.
After cutting off a few more branches, Shiyue straightened up and tapped her aching lower back with her fist.
She glanced at Yu Chuxia, who was still struggling with the withered bamboo she had cut down, and sighed inwardly.
"Yu Zhiqing, come here."
As she spoke, Shiyue walked to a sunny spot outside the bamboo forest that she had already chosen, and pointed to a patch of green grass growing there, saying, "This clump of goosegrass is edible, pick the tender parts."
In case Yu Chuxia didn't even know how to do this, he specially picked two stalks to demonstrate for her.
"I will," Yu Chuxia stammered, her ears turning red with embarrassment.
"Then you pick them." Shiyue didn't stand on ceremony with her, handed over the wild vegetables, and walked back into the bamboo forest.

Yu Chuxia ate a bowl of thick porridge before leaving home in the morning, and half a multigrain pancake at noon. The multigrain pancake was made by Shiyue yesterday.
They were already starving.
Even the thought of the white worms inside the bamboo tube no longer evokes such strong aversion in me.
She quickened her pace to catch up with Shiyue, who was walking ahead, and asked, "Sister Shiyue, are those bugs really edible? Are they tasty?"
"Yes, it smells delicious when it's baked," Shiyue replied.
Yu Chuxia swallowed hard, then rolled her eyes.
I finally made it home.
The two saw the three people when they were still some distance from their house.
Yu Chuxia, who was exhausted from the journey, was no longer tired at this moment. She shouted "Brother!" and rushed towards He Lixuan!
Before she even got close, she loudly boasted, "Brother, Sister Shiyue is treating us to some amazing food! You've never seen anything like it before, it's so delicious!"
