Chapter 26 Going up the mountain



After breakfast, Zhou Wang received a phone call and hurriedly left the Shen family.

Shen Yun glanced at him, gloating over his misfortune. Is he going to go bankrupt? Just destroy Zhou Wang's own fortune, not her Shen family's.

The cell phone dinged.

Yan Wan sent a new message.

Yan Wan: Sister, do you want to make a date?

Chen Yun: Date!

She was bored and needed to go out for some fresh air.

Yan Wan: I'm taking you to a nice place today. Wear something cheap and smart, mainly sneakers.

Chen Yun didn't ask Yan Wan what she was going to do, and replied directly with one word, "Okay!"

Chen Xi suffered a minor injury yesterday, and Mrs. Shen refused to let her leave the house no matter what. Only after Chen Xi repeatedly assured her that she was really fine did Mrs. Shen relax.

When Shen Xi left, Shen Yun quickly said to Mrs. Shen, "Mom, my friend asked me to go out and play, so I'm leaving first."

Mrs. Shen's well-maintained face was full of kindness. "Is that the girl you mentioned last time?"

"Yes, her name is Yan Wan." She was the first friend she made.

Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded, "Next time there is a chance, invite someone to come home and play."

For a family like the Shen family, inviting someone to play at home is a sign of approval of the other party. Mrs. Shen said this without asking about Yan Wan's character, which also shows that she approves of the current Shen Yun.

"Okay, I'll be out then." After saying that, Shen Yun waved and left.

Madam Shen watched the frail figure leave her sight, feeling mixed emotions in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

It was already half past eight when Chen Yun and Yan Wan met up.

The weather was cool, and the city was covered with a thin layer of moisture after being washed by rain.

Chen Yun was wearing a black casual suit and standing on the roadside looking forward to it. Today was neither rainy nor sunny, so it was a perfect day to go out and play.

From a distance, I saw a red electric scooter approaching. The owner of the scooter was wearing a matching helmet and gray clothes. Strangely, the owner was riding the scooter with one hand, while the other was also busy, holding a long stick.

The electric scooter was driving slowly and to the right, and passing vehicles kept overtaking it, glancing curiously in its direction.

Looking closer, I saw that what he was holding was not a stick but a long bamboo pole. It was a fresh emerald green color and it was obvious that it had just been chopped and the debris was still there.

The key point is that a brand new sickle was tied to the bamboo pole with an iron bar.

The blade was shiny and sharp, and Shen Yun saw his own reflection in the sickle.

The little electric scooter stopped by the roadside, opened the helmet lens, and revealed a pair of smiling fox eyes. "Get in."

Chen Yun's face was full of surprise, and he was confused by Yan Wan's actions for a moment, "You..." No, who would bring a bamboo pole and a sickle when going out to play?

Yan Wan handed the black helmet hanging on the side to Chen Yun, and said in a clear voice, "I'll take you to catch some delicious food!"

Now that he was there, Chen Yun put on his helmet, sat in the back, and took the weapon from Yan Wan's hand, which was heavy.

Two women and a cart, equipped with bamboo poles and sickles, set off towards a sparsely populated mountain road.

After riding for about half an hour, Chen Yun's hands were sore. The sickle was sharp, and she was afraid that she would drop it, and she was even more afraid of accidentally hitting Yan Wan.

"Excuse me for asking a question..."

Yan Wan: "What's the problem?"

"Does this car have power? I'm worried it'll abandon us halfway."

"Don't worry, sixty kilometers is no problem." She had been to this place once and had already planned the route. Forty kilometers round trip was enough.

Chen Yun felt relieved, resting his chin on Yan Wan's shoulder and chatting casually.

The car turned a corner and arrived at the foot of the mountain. There was a two-meter-deep ditch covered with weeds between the road and the mountain.

When they saw the place, Yan Wan parked the car close to the roadside.

Chen Yun got out of the car, took off his helmet and hung it on the car. He looked up and saw that the mountain was not very high. "It's a desolate mountain. What can you eat in the mountains at this time?"

Yan Wan also untied the helmet strap, removed the key, went around to the trunk and took out the bag he had prepared in advance. He smiled and said, "Acacia flowers! They are delicious whether you stir-fry them or steam them."

Are the locust flowers blooming at this time?

Chen Yun was getting excited. She knew about acacia flowers, having eaten them herself. She also knew how painful the thorns on the acacia tree were.

Looking closely, you can see a field of white flowers blooming on the treetops in the mountains.

The mountain road was steep, and the two men climbed up by groping their way.

Although it is steep, the steps are flat and level, indicating that they were built by someone before.

After climbing about 10 to 20 meters, there was a flat road with several locust trees growing lushly. Their bark was gray-brown and cracked.

Sophora japonica flowers hang like hanging snow, covering the branches. When you get close, the air is filled with fragrance.

When the wind blows, clusters of locust flowers sway, and the petals and leaves push each other, creating a lively scene.

It doesn’t matter whether you eat or not, what matters is participation!

Chen Yun stood at the foot of the tree, impatiently stretching out his bamboo pole to hook the snow-white petals. His sickle was incredibly fast, and with each hook and pull, the thin branches fell straight down.

"Wow, sisters are awesome!" Yan Guan excitedly picked up a pile of locust flowers on the ground, squatted on the ground and began to pick the flowers and leaves and put them into the bag.

"Be careful, don't get pricked by the thorns." Chen Yun reminded while hooking.

Yan Guan stroked it skillfully, "I'm good at this. I used to do it often."

When Yan Guan was a child, he stayed at his grandmother's house for a few years. His grandmother's house was in the countryside, and there were many locust trees in the village. The flowering period of the locust trees was about half a month. During those days, he ate locust trees every day in different ways.

"It's not that I have to eat it. Maybe I'm used to crocheting it. When it comes to this season, my hands always feel itchy." Yan Wan stroked the lace while watching Chen Yun crocheting.

Shen Yun agreed, “You’re right!”

They took turns, and soon all the acacia flowers at the lower level were hooked, while the flowers at the higher levels were still hanging in a dazzling array. Unfortunately, although the bamboo pole was not short, it could not support the height of the tree.

Exhausted and sweating, seeing that he couldn't catch any fish, Chen Yun dropped the bamboo pole and sat on the ground, accompanying Yan Wan to pick the locust flowers.

The plants in the mountains are mostly pine trees, peach trees, cypresses, maidenhair ferns, and vitex. I have seen most of the others but cannot name them by their scientific names.

The atmosphere was just right, and Shen Yun was interested in finding out something. "You've been in City A for a long time. Do you know someone named Jiang Huaian?"

Yan Wan was stroking flowers when she heard Chen Yun's words and stopped. The name sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before. She looked at Chen Yun with suspicion and saw him smiling sweetly. Her curiosity suddenly rose. "The name sounds familiar to me, but I can't remember who it is."

Seeing her malicious smile, Chen Yun knew she had strayed from the right path, so he teased her, "Remember this man, Jiang Huaian. He's handsome and comes from a prominent family, a typical rich second generation. If you can win him over, you will become a real wealthy lady."

"Sister, this is a gift for you as a good friend. I thought about it for a day and two nights and thought about it."

Yan Wan chuckled and patted her shoulder, "No, whose meeting gift to a good friend is to find a good man in advance..." She actually thought of that.

Shen Yun raised an eyebrow, “Yours!”

"No, no..." Yan Wan quickly waved her head and hands to express her refusal, with a look of resistance on her face, "I don't want to be a rich man's wife. I don't have to worry about food and clothing now, and I live a very happy life. Who wants to marry into a rich family and be bullied by that bastard?"

Turtle-grandson-angry!

Shen Yun was shocked by her description.
