Chapter 133 Where Did She Go?
It was a naive and straightforward sentence, innocent yet sincere.
"Do you like me?"
Lu Xiyan found it funny, "Why do you like me?"
"I like it, that's why I like it."
Xiao Anxian didn’t know why he liked him, but he just liked this uncle very much, wanted to be close to him, liked to see him smile, and even more liked to listen to him talk.
If I like it, I like it.
There's really no reason.
Lu Xiyan raised the corner of his lips and returned the chocolate in his hand to him, "You eat it, uncle doesn't like chocolate."
"Uncle, don't you like chocolate too?"
Xiao Anxian carefully put the round chocolate back into his schoolbag.
"also?"
Xiao Anxian nodded, "Mom said my dad doesn't like to eat either."
But his mother told him that his father liked to buy chocolate for her because she loved it.
The child mentioned his father again, and Lu Xiyan didn't want to listen.
"It seems your mother told you a lot about your father." He sneered, "but she just didn't tell you who your father is, right?"
Xiao Anxian didn't understand what he meant, and only remembered the secret between them in the dessert shop last time.
"Uncle, my mother doesn't know our secret." He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I also asked my mother what my father's name was, but she wouldn't tell me."
"How about, uncle, wait for my mother to come back and ask her yourself?"
"Come back?" Lu Xiyan thought of the turned-off number. "Where did she go?"
"On business trip!"
That’s what Grandma and Aunt Zhao told him.
On business trip?
Lu Xiyan frowned slightly, "Where did you go?"
Little Anxian tilted his head and thought for a moment, "What sea? Mom said it's in the southernmost city."
The southernmost city, what sea?
Could it be the Dian Sea?
......
The plane arrived at Dianhai at around five in the evening.
Haowei Group has a food production line in Qichuan City near the Dianhai Lake. The car that came to pick us up took three hours of bumpy ride to reach Qichuan Hotel. The food research base that An Ning was going to was in the mountainous area below Qichuan City.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, the moment An Ning got out of the car, she smelled an exceptionally fresh scent in the air, which was very different from the air in Jinghai.
Standing downstairs of the hotel, she looked up and saw the dark sky dotted with stars, like sprinkled gold powder.
This kind of sky is even rarer to see in Jinghai.
For some reason, when An Ning stepped on this land, she felt a familiar feeling, a sense of security and intimacy.
Although I had never been to this city before, I felt a great sense of familiarity as soon as I landed.
After settling in the hotel, it was still early, so she went downstairs to take a walk.
The Dian Sea is rich in seafood and mushrooms, which are highly nutritious. In the Qichuan Mountain area, a variety of mushrooms can be found.
An Ning came here this time specifically to conduct research on mushroom food.
Coming out of the hotel, there is a bluestone road. Walking down the steps, there are many vendors on both sides selling special mushrooms, and the shouting is very lively.
"Auntie, were these mushrooms just picked today?"
An Ning stood in front of a small stall, looking at the mushrooms of various shapes in the bamboo basket, and asked the stall owner with a smile.
"Yes, girl, these are picked from the mountain today, they are very fresh."
The stall owner took a look at the young woman in front of her. She was wearing a light-colored knitted suit. She was tall and had a good figure. Her long hair was tied up, and her face was fair and clean. She was really delicate and beautiful. It was obvious at a glance that she was not a local.
"Miss, you are traveling here from out of town, right? You can buy these mushrooms and try them."
The stall owner smiled and introduced the mushrooms in the bamboo basket to her, "These are all chicken mushrooms, this is chicken mushroom flower, this is black cap chicken mushroom, this is grain pile chicken mushroom, this is torch chicken mushroom, these are all delicious things that will make your eyebrows drop!"
An Ning looked at the mushrooms in her basket, and her mind seemed to remember that she seemed to have eaten these things before, but she couldn't remember when and where she had eaten them.
"Auntie, please help me."
At this time, a young couple came over and said politely, "We are here to have fun and picked some mushrooms. Can you help me see if these mushrooms are edible?"
The young couple was carrying a small basket filled with several kinds of mushrooms, which looked like they were all picked today.
An Ning looked at the mushrooms in the boy's basket and suddenly frowned.
"This is the Russula subsparsely covered with shrooms. It's extremely poisonous and can't be eaten."
She pointed at a few white and tender mushrooms in the basket and said, "This is Amanita muscaria, also a poisonous mushroom. It's also commonly known as Gypsophila."
After that, she looked under the basket again, "This one is also very poisonous, called the Capsule Amanita fasciata. The local common name seems to be..."
She thought for a moment and looked at the stall owner, "Fake leather strips?"
"This girl is right!" The stall owner pointed at the young man's basket with an incredulous look on her face. "Hey, young man, you can't eat any of these mushrooms."
"Ah? We picked them because they looked pretty." The girl next to him lamented, "It turns out they're all poisonous."
At this point, the stall owner looked at An Ning in surprise, "Girl, I didn't expect you, coming from another place, to know so much about these poisonous mushrooms? Some of us locals can't even tell them apart."
After she finished speaking, An Ning was slightly stunned. Somehow, she actually recognized the types of these mushrooms.
It seemed as if someone had patiently taught her how to identify these mushrooms.
But she had never been to Dianhai, and had no memory of this place.
But I seem to know them all in my mind.
Not only know each other, but also feel somewhat familiar with each other.
She shook her head. This feeling was too strange.
......
"Baby, you can't eat this mushroom. It's poisonous. If you eat it, you'll be gone."
The woman spoke softly and gently touched the little girl's head.
"What about this one? It's so white and beautiful." The little girl asked innocently.
The busy man turned around and patiently explained, "Xiaozhi, this is called baby's breath. Don't be fooled by its white and tender appearance. It's actually very poisonous."
The woman beside her touched the little girl's face again and said, "Baby, be obedient. Mommy and Daddy are doing research. Baby, don't move around."
"Research?" the little girl asked eagerly. "Why research poisonous mushrooms?"
"Because I want to see if these poisonous mushrooms have any other uses besides being poisonous. In other words, I want to see if these non-toxic mushrooms can be used to treat diseases besides being edible."
The little girl seemed to understand what the man said and nodded, "Then I'll be a good boy. Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I promise not to touch these mushrooms."
......
"Mom and Dad..."
In the darkness, the woman on the bed frowned and murmured.
“Mom and Dad!”
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and sat up in bed.
Sweat dripped down his smooth forehead.
An Ning breathed eagerly, her chest heaving violently, and her eyes were clear.
I tried hard to recall the dream I just had, but I couldn't remember anything. Only a few hazy fragments remained.
"Mushrooms, are they poisonous?"
Who is the person in the dream?
Who is Xiaozhi?
Sweat dripped down her cheeks and she closed her eyes tightly. The dream was very clear, but when she woke up she could not remember anything.
