Xie Yunjiao looked at the sky. It was probably around eight o'clock in the morning and the sky was bright. She had agreed with Xiaoyu to meet up in an hour, which was two hours, so it should be enough time.
She looked around. The trees were bare and the soil outside had been turned over. Because this was the outskirts of the mountain, all the edible things had been dug up by the villagers. After all, this was the foot of the mountain and there was no danger.
Xie Yunjiao looked around again without giving up, but was finally disappointed. It turned out that there was really no one left. So she didn't care anymore and walked into the mountain.
This deep forest is still well protected and there is no over-exploitation. After Xie Yunjiao came in, she saw many hares and pheasants jumping around in front of her, but when she chased them with her bare hands, they all ran away again. It was really infuriating.
Xie Yunjiao was unwilling to give up, so she continued walking forward, and suddenly saw small umbrellas growing on the ground not far away.
Her eyes lit up. Isn't this a mushroom?
This is shiitake mushroom, known as "mountain delicacy"!
Xie Yunjiao felt that she was still very lucky. She had originally just wanted to come up and try her luck.
There are many kinds of mushrooms, including shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and some bright red mushrooms. However, some mushrooms are highly poisonous, so you need to know how to identify them.
Xie Yunjiao is someone who stays in the kitchen every day, so this is child's play for her.
I happened to have some pheasants at home, so I stewed them and it was so delicious.
She hurried forward and started picking mushrooms. There were quite a few of them. She planned to dry the ones she couldn't finish so that she could cook them next time.
Finally, they finished picking all the mushrooms. There were already half a basket full. Xie Yunjiao planned to look around to see if there were any other good ones.
She continued walking forward with the basket on her back. When she passed by several big trees, something suddenly fell from above and hit her on the head.
When Xie Yunjiao took a look, it turned out to be chestnuts?
She really likes to eat this.
She looked up and saw that there were several very tall chestnut trees around. Many chestnuts were ripe and had fallen down by themselves. Now there were many popped and fallen chestnuts on the ground.
Xie Yunjiao was stunned. "Those villagers probably didn't know this was edible, right? That's why so many of them fell on the ground and no one picked them up."
She put down the basket and started picking chestnuts.
Chestnuts are big and round, and they look very attractive.
Xie Yunjiao never thought that this mountain was full of treasures! No wonder people say that you can live off the mountain if you live on it. This is probably what they mean.
Haha! Great! I can make sugar-roasted chestnuts for Doudou.
Her basket was no longer able to hold the items, but Xie Yunjiao knew the place and decided to come back when she got back.
The mushrooms and chestnuts have been packed. Today’s harvest is really good.
She looked around and thought it was about time, so she carried the basket back to the place where she had agreed to meet Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu was already waiting there, her basket full of wild vegetables.
Seeing her, Xiaoyu excitedly said, "Yunjiao, how much did you dig?"
"I've gained a lot, you too!" Xie Yunjiao responded with a smile.
"You've gained so much on your first trip up the mountain. That's amazing." Xiaoyu and Xie Yunjiao said as they walked.
"Well, let's go!" We got back just in time to cook.
In fact, this kind of life is quite leisurely and comfortable, and Xie Yunjiao feels that she has adapted well.
Farmers are all down-to-earth and hardworking.
Because if you don’t work hard, you may not have anything to eat.
In fact, there are mountains and rivers here, and the crops grow well, so the harvest should be good. However, because the taxes levied by the court are very heavy, the people have to hand over the grain, and there is not much left, so most families live a tight life.
Xie Yunjiao thought Xiaoyu was a nice person and a friend worth making. She planned to give her some of the chestnuts after she fried them!
The two of them talked as they walked and soon arrived at the village. Before they reached the door of their house, they saw Gu Huai and Dou Dou walking towards them from a distance.
Seeing this, Xiaoyu joked, "Brother Gu really loves his wife. He came out to look for you after just a short while."
Xie Yunjiao felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she felt warm in her heart. After traveling through time and space, with their care, she was no longer as helpless and panicked as when she just woke up.
When Xiaoyu saw them coming, she left.
"Why are you here?" Xie Yunjiao walked up to them and asked.
Gu Huai didn't say anything. He took the basket from her shoulders and said, "Why did you go up the mountain? You are still very weak. Besides, there are many wild animals on the mountain. It is very dangerous for you as a woman."
The tone may seem blaming, but it is actually full of concern.
"It's okay, I'm in good health. I just went to dig some wild vegetables and didn't run far." Xie Yunjiao stuck out her tongue behind their backs, not daring to tell the truth.
"Don't run around anymore." Gu Huai still warned worriedly.
Xie Yunjiao nodded.
"Mom, Dad and I are very worried about you. There are big beasts on that mountain that can eat people. You have been gone for such a long time. It's a good thing you are back." Doudou said nervously, his eyes a little red. He was about to cry if he didn't see his mother coming back.
Because it was all his fault that he didn't take his mother with him and let her go to the mountains.
Xie Yunjiao didn't expect the father and son to be so worried about her. She touched Doudou's head and said, "Well, I'll be careful. Let's go back and make you something delicious."
Doudou's eyes lit up, and then he said, "Really?"
After tasting yesterday's egg pancake, he is now looking forward to what delicious food his mother will make for him.
Xie Yunjiao nodded, and then she realized that Gu Huai was carrying his basket. She stammered, "...Well, give it to me!"
In fact, she was a little embarrassed now. According to their current relationship, she should call him husband, but she felt a little weird and couldn't say it.
"No need, I'll carry it. Let's go home!" The moment Gu Huai saw her come back, the heavy stone in his heart was finally put down.
No one knew that when he just returned, he heard Doudou say that she had gone up the mountain, and he was so worried.
Firstly, I was worried that she, a woman, would be attacked by a wild beast. Secondly, I was afraid that she would be unable to get over it and do something stupid like she did yesterday.
So he was worried all the time. He originally wanted to go out and see if there was anything small while she was sleeping. But when he came back and heard Doudou say that, he scolded Doudou.
Doudou was also scared and cried, and kept shouting that he wanted to go find his mother.
So they left no time to lose and went out to look for her.
Now that he knew she was going to pick wild vegetables and saw how hard she worked for this family, Gu Huai felt a strange feeling brewing in his heart.
He watched Xie Yunjiao walking ahead holding Doudou's hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
