As his thoughts turned, Shu Miao's face showed a hint of hesitation.
"Yeah, what should we do? We can't just go back and ask Auntie, right?"
Hearing his cousin say that she wanted to go back and ask her mother, Shu Zili was horrified, "No, no, you absolutely can't ask my mother!"
What would happen if my mother knew that I was so talkative and that my sister wanted to go to the commune all the time?
At the same time, he also thought of another key issue!
That is, if he went to school and no one was watching his sister, would she be unable to resist the temptation and secretly go to the commune by herself?
If someone gets lost or something happens to them, it will be a disaster!!!
Thinking of his cousin's stubborn temper, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely, and his face turned pale with fright.
Without saying a word, he grabbed her by the back of the collar and was about to threaten her.
Then he suddenly remembered that he was not as strong as her. If he threatened her too hard, he might get beaten up.
He had no choice but to let go of his hand, and his stiff expression gradually softened.
He pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly, and with an unnatural expression, explained his strange behavior. "There are bugs."
Instead, he took her arm and walked forward.
Why not leave?
Is it possible that when my cousin turns around to look, she will find that there is no bug?
Shu Miao pretended not to notice his strange behavior, thanked him, and spoke again, "How about we..."
Before she could finish her words, Shu Zili immediately took over the conversation and tried to divert her attention.
"I was so busy chatting with you that I forgot it just rained, but this is the best time to pick mushrooms.
Let's go, let's go faster, if someone gets there first then our trip today will be in vain."
"Let me tell you, mushrooms in autumn are not like those in spring. They are everywhere, but you have to snatch them away!
And…”
Seeing that he was trying to change the subject and avoid the main issue, Shu Miao didn't give him this opportunity.
He simply said, "Why don't you ask your teacher or classmates when you go to school and ask them to draw a map for you to go to the commune, and I'll go there by myself." This completely extinguished Shu Zili's last bit of struggle.
Shu Zili turned around stiffly, his previous enthusiasm gone, and he scratched his head with resentment on his face.
"Ah, why are you so stubborn?"
But the next moment, he suddenly realized that his cousin had asked him many questions about school...
Or maybe use this opportunity to make her change her mind?
If he succeeded, even if his cousin secretly ran away to school, at least he would be there to keep an eye on her.
At the very least, it's better than her sneaking to the commune out of curiosity, right?
Sensing that he had a new idea, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He immediately grabbed her arm and winked at her mysteriously.
"What's so fun about going to the commune? We have no money and no food. If we go there, we can only drool over the smells. But it's different if we go to Yue'er Bay..."
"Oh?" Shu Miao showed a little curiosity at the right time.
"You don't know this, do you? There's a mill in Yue'er Bay. They say they make tofu every day to generate income. If anyone from the nearby brigade wants to eat tofu, they can bring something to trade."
Encouraged by this, Shu Zili became more proactive.
"What's the most common thing among tofu makers?"
"Soy milk." Shu Miao knew he had taken the bait the moment he opened his mouth, and naturally cooperated happily.
Seeing that his cousin was indeed showing signs of being led astray by him, he introduced her even more enthusiastically.
"That's right! It's soy milk!
Let me tell you, we can exchange the mountain products or mushrooms we pick up in the mountains for soy milk!
If you change a lot, you can add some honey, it will be sweet and fragrant..."
As Shu Zili was talking, he felt greedy again and couldn't help slurping his saliva.
Shu Miao was both angry and amused by his useless look.
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel worried when I heard him just talking about the good things about Yue'er Bay without getting to the point.
Can this guy be more helpful? I can’t pretend anymore.
Fortunately, Shu Zili changed the topic for a while and remembered his original purpose.
I hurriedly reorganized my expression, thinking that I was full of temptation and persuasion.
"That soy milk is sweet and delicious. I've had it several times. Let's be diligent later. Ten palm-sized mushrooms can be exchanged for a bowl of soy milk!"
Shu Miao immediately acted impressed, but still had a hint of hesitation on her face, "But..."
Seeing her face full of interest, Shu Zili was delighted and continued to work hard.
"But what but? Didn't you always ask me about school?
Let's work harder later, and tomorrow we can not only drink soy milk, but also walk around the school, how about that? "
"Well, okay then~"
Seeing that she finally nodded in agreement, Shu Zili jumped for joy. "Oh, that's great. What are you still hesitating about? Let's go pick some mushrooms!"
Before he could finish his words, he had already run into the woods.
Shu Miao listened to him screaming like a savage in the woods and could not help but hold his forehead in silence.
But he quickly readjusted himself and hurriedly followed in his footsteps.
I don’t know if it was because the rain was not strong enough or what, but after running around to all the treasure spots mentioned by Shu Zili, I only harvested sixteen qualified mushrooms.
On the way back, I came across a tree with green fruits with hard skin.
After confirming that the tree in front of him was a tung oil tree, Shu Zili hugged the trunk and shouted happily at the top of his voice,
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
