Qin An Ning chuckled and put on a fake smile, "With you, the smart, beautiful and adorable Wu Zhiqing."
Wu Yanli snorted proudly.
"Do you really want to go with me? Then go back and cook. We'll go after we finish eating."
Since there was nothing to do anyway, Qin An Ning also prepared to go for a walk in the mountains.
"Okay, let's eat together." This saves us from having to cook separately.
After eating and resting for a while, the three of them went up the mountain together with the baskets on their backs.
After finishing the farm work, everyone started running up the mountain to pick hazelnuts and pine nuts.
It's already the end of October, which is actually a bit late, but I was busy with the autumn harvest, so when I have free time, I'll see how much I can pick.
From time to time, you can see villagers on the mountain, some picking mountain products, and some picking firewood.
Qin An Ning just remembered that she had not yet prepared firewood for the winter.
I'll have to ask Aunt Cuihua later if Wang Daqing has time to get firewood for her. If not, she'll have to find someone quickly. Not having firewood in winter is no joke.
Qin Anning reminded Meng Yu and Wu Yanli, "Didn't you two prepare firewood? It will be difficult to do so if it snows."
Wu Yanli looked around to see that there was no one around, so she spoke without holding back, "We've discussed it, and we can't get much firewood just by collecting it and carrying it back.
We decided to see who has more labor and then hire someone to help us."
"That's perfect. I'm also going to talk to Aunt Cuihua about this. Let's ask together."
Picking up mountain products is also for the purpose of exchanging them for money, but it is not certain how much they can pick up. It would be the same if they used this time to chop firewood to make money.
Wu Yanli nodded, "Okay, let's hurry up, while everyone is picking up mountain products, firewood is still easy to get."
When we all went up the mountain together, there was basically nothing around, so if we wanted to pick up some mountain products, we had to go inside.
Meng Yu walked in front and led the way. "We found a place this morning where no one goes. Let's go there."
Wu Yanli also said, "Yes, although there aren't many pine cones there, no one is competing with us for them."
Qin An Ning had no objection. She was thinking about exchanging more with the villagers and sending some to her uncles in the army.
"Let me tell you, Li Yongfeng seems to be dating Song Yuqin. I noticed something strange in their eyes."
Meng Yu quickly looked around, looking like a thief, which made Wu Yanli laugh.
Meng Yu turned around and glared at Wu Yanli, "You're still laughing. You're so careless with your words. What if someone hears you?"
Wu Yanli shrugged indifferently, a faint smile on her pretty face. "If you heard it, then you heard it. I didn't lie."
"This isn't a matter of lying or not. Neither of them said anything. If you say that, and they deny it, wouldn't that make you a rumor?"
Qin Anning didn't have much contact with that group of educated youth, so she didn't know about this, but she didn't think Wu Yanli would joke about such a thing.
“Meng Yu is right, if the three of us are together, we two won’t spread anything you say.
If it were someone else, it wouldn't be the same. The message would change as it was passed around.
People have their own considerations for not making it public. If you reveal it to you, it may cause unnecessary trouble.
We can have less dealings with them, but we shouldn’t make things awkward.”
Wu Yanli was just straightforward and could still tell the good from the bad. "Got it. I won't talk about them anymore."
A gust of wind blew by, and Qin An Ning smelled the smell of something burning.
This is in the mountains. Who would be so reckless as to dare to light a fire in the mountains?
She paused and sniffed again, "Do you smell anything?"
Meng Yu and Wu Yanli also stopped and sniffed carefully, "I don't smell anything!"
"No, there's the smell of something roasting, over there." Qin Anning pointed in the direction of the wind, "The villagers shouldn't make a fire on the mountain.
Let's go over and take a look, to make sure it's some stupid educated youth who gets into trouble and gets us into trouble."
The three of them walked about two hundred meters and saw burnt ashes and a pile of bones on the ground.
Wu Yanli exclaimed, "Qin Anning, you are amazing. You can smell it from such a distance.
But who is so capable as to catch wild animals and roast them here? "
After saying that, she licked her lips unconsciously. She was also craving for meat.
Qin An Ning is no longer a god. She just drank space water, and her five senses became more sensitive, and she had a tailwind just now.
She squatted down and touched it. The ashes were still warm, so the person must have just left not long ago.
"I don't know who was so brave to do this, but they just left like that, not even worried about it coming back to life."
Qin An Ning found a branch, dug some soil nearby, and buried the pile of ashes.
Meng Yu also came over to help and buried the pile of ashes. The two stood up and clapped their hands. "Okay, let's go."
Wu Yanli has a great talent for asking when she doesn't understand something, "Why can't we make a fire on the mountain?"
Qin An Ning sighed, saying that in modern times, even a ten-year-old child would know this.
"It's extremely dry this season, and even a small spark of weeds on the ground could coalesce into a patch and cause a forest fire.
Look at this mountain, there are trees everywhere. If a fire really breaks out and spreads, it will be extremely difficult to put out the fire. If you are not careful, the whole mountain may burn down. Why can't you light a fire on the mountain?"
Thinking about that scene, Wu Yanli couldn't help but shudder, "It's too scary."
Information is not well developed nowadays, and people go to school to study agriculture and industry, so it’s no wonder they don’t know.
Meng Yu looked at the sky and said, "Alright, let's go pick up pine cones. It's getting dark early now, so we have to go back early."
I don’t know if they didn’t check the almanac before going out today, but before they even reached the place, they heard a shrill cry for help.
