Chapter 158 The girl is weak and cannot get wet in the rain

Zhang Bingyi saw them peeling pine nuts on the spot, so he peeled some as well, following their method.

However, he was very slow and didn't accomplish much in an hour.

Gu Xiaoxi secretly put no less than 100 kilograms of goods into the new product showroom, and there were already two large woven bags placed outside.

Feeling that Zhang Bingyi was too slow, he helped him process a large pile of pine nuts as well.

"Please take these back for your grandfather to eat."

Although Zhong Jue and Fu Jiani are not good people, Grandpa Zhang is a good person, a very good person!

"Thank you!" Zhang Bingyi nodded.

Gu Xiaoxi thought for a moment, and gave Zhang Bingyi the Ganoderma that he had picked today, "Please bring this back to your grandfather for me as well."

At this point, she emphasized, "This is for your grandfather. You can't give it to Zhong Jue and the others."

Zhang Bingyi nodded awkwardly, "I understand."

After picking up pine cones, they walked around the stream again.

When a person is lucky, nothing can stop him.

After the pine cone, Gu Xiaoxi found a ginseng that was twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

While squatting to dig ginseng, she carefully shoveled the soil while saying to Lu Jiansen: "Let's give this ginseng to Si Nanyu! We will find another one and let him take it back to Grandpa. When we find it, we will go back."

Lu Jiansen smiled and said, "Then find two more trees, and one for your grandfather as well."

Gu Xiaoxi originally wanted to say that she had left some for her grandfather, so she could just pick one out from the small companion space.

But after Lu Jiansen said this, she still nodded.

"Hmm. Let's see how lucky we are today!"

Zhang Bingyi, who was not far away, could only feel envy when he heard this.

To be honest, when he reached Jiling, he didn't find a single ginseng plant.

The only thing he dug was the one given to him by Gu Xiaoxi.

At noon, Gu Xiaoxi and his friends found a place to stop and rest for a while, made a fire, and heated up the food they had brought in the morning.

After lunch, they hid the pine nuts and walked deeper into the forest.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Xiaoxi finally found ginseng again.

The age of the participants in the observation is estimated to be thirty-seven or thirty-eight years.

Zhang Bingyi was filled with jealousy. He calmed down and looked around carefully.

God helps those who work hard, he finally found a ginseng. Although the ginseng was less than ten years old, at least he found it himself!

Although Lu Jiansen did not dig up any ginseng, he did collect a lot of matsutake mushrooms.

At four o'clock, Gu Xiaoxi suddenly pulled Lu Jiansen's sleeve and said, "Let's go back!"

"Are you tired?" Lu Jiansen took off his gloves and gently stroked the fallen leaves on the little girl's hair.

Gu Xiaoxi looked up at the sky which was gradually getting darker and said, "It feels like it's going to rain."

She doesn't want to get wet in the rain!

Lu Jiansen looked up at the sky and nodded decisively, "Then let's go back."

The little girl is weak and must not get wet in the rain.

Zhang Bingyi, who was not far away, also looked up at the sky. He could not see any signs of rain, but the sky was indeed a little darker than before.

Gu Xiaoxi and the others were leaving, and he didn't want to stay alone, so he went with them.

After getting the pine nuts back, the three of them walked back quickly.

In order to take a shortcut back, Gu Xiaoxi calculated the distance carefully along the way, so the route he took was slightly different from the one he took when he came.

Halfway through the journey, she discovered several dead trees of varying sizes lying on the ground.

She suddenly thought of the charcoal in the new product showroom.

It’s so cold in Qingbei, it would be great to have charcoal grills!

Thinking of this, she made an excuse that she needed to go to the bathroom and stayed behind alone. She quietly replaced the dead wood twice with charcoal, and then ran back to Lu Jiansen.

Half an hour later, a cold wind blew from the mountain, and the three of them quickened their pace and walked back.

By this time, it was already dark and the temperature had obviously dropped a lot more than before.

Gu Xiaoxi could already feel the thick water vapor gathering in the air, and the observation technique also told her that heavy rain would come in an hour.

She grabbed the bag of pine nuts that Lu Jiansen was carrying and said anxiously, "I'll get one for you. Let's go faster."

"No need, you go ahead and turn on the flashlight, don't fall." Lu Jiansen warned.

The pine nuts were too heavy, and the little girl couldn't walk while carrying them.

Seeing that he could not help, Gu Xiaoxi had no choice but to pick up the box of ginseng, turn on the flashlight in advance, and run forward quickly.

However, Lu Jiansen's speed was not slow. Even with two large pine nuts in his hands, he was only one or two meters away from her.

Zhang Bingyi was feeling extremely miserable; he felt that Lu Jiansen and Gu Xiaoxi were moving too fast.

Although he only had half a bag of pine nuts, it was still too strenuous for him to walk briskly.

However, he also gritted his teeth and persevered.

He also felt that it might really rain heavily. The wind in the mountains began to rustle the trees, and the temperature dropped sharply.

As the three of them approached the camp, heavy rain began to fall.

Lu Jiansen quickly took off his coat and put it on the little girl's head, "Run back to the tent to avoid the rain first."

Gu Xiaoxi looked back at him and immediately ran forward.

At the camp, Si Nanyu and Qi Shuangshuang were carrying firewood into the tent in the rain.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxi and the others coming back, the two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Xiaoxi, I just boiled some water. Wash and warm your hands first." Qi Shuangshuang immediately brought her a basin of hot water.

Si Nanyu quickly ran over to help Lu Jiansen get the things.

Gu Xiaoxi took off Lu Jiansen's clothes, gently patted the water droplets on them, let his clothes air dry, and then went to wash his hands and face.

Lu Jiansen put the things back into the tent and moved in a pile of firewood that he had not had time to move outside.

Seeing that his clothes were almost wet, Gu Xiaoxi brought a bucket over, poured out half of the boiled water, then quietly got some cold water from the new product showroom and brought it aside to Lu Jiansen.

"Take off your wet clothes and wash them briefly."

As she spoke, she pulled up a curtain that served as a partition inside the tent.

Lu Jiansen suppressed his smile and nodded, "Okay."

Gu Xiaoxi turned around and saw Zhang Bingyi, who was even more powerful than Lu Jiansen, and said, "The remaining water is for you. Pour some water and we will boil some more."

Zhang Bingyi nodded gratefully, "Thank you!"

Wiping the rain off his face, he realized that Zhong Jue and Fu Jiani were not there.

He immediately turned to look at Qi Shuangshuang, "Didn't they come back?"

Qi Shuangshuang nodded. "They slept until almost noon before going out. They brought a lot of food with them and said they might not come back at night."

At this point, she paused for a moment before continuing, "They should have found a place to take shelter from the rain, right? Otherwise, they should have come back."

Zhang Bingyi felt uneasy as he watched the rain outside getting heavier.

If you encounter heavy rain in the mountains and have no place to take shelter, you will freeze to death if you don't return home.

However, he didn't know where they had gone, and it was impossible for him to go out and look for them at this time.

He now just hoped they would come back soon.
