Shen Wu was eye-catching, and Long Yujiao and Lu Cheng also saw her.
Even in the poor visibility of the mountain forest, she was the first person he saw. Lu Cheng sighed, "No wonder Third Brother was fooled by her. No one can compare to her face."
"Any man who sees this would probably feel a little soft-hearted."
Long Yujiao frowned slightly, "Brother Cheng."
Lu Cheng turned his gaze away from Chen Wu and looked at Long Yujiao's calm and gentle face. "But I'm different from those vulgar people in the village. I like you. You have a different temperament from her. Besides, she is so lazy."
Long Yujiao didn't find this remark comforting.
He smiled at Lu Cheng and said, "Brother Cheng, go and take care of your own business. I'll go with my third sister-in-law and the others to look for mushrooms."
"You have to be able to distinguish poisonous mushrooms from non-poisonous ones. Two years ago, Mrs. Feng next door ate poisonous mushrooms and complained in the middle of winter that it was too hot and she wanted to take off her clothes."
"You don't know, the uncle next door is here to stop you, otherwise you will lose all your face."
"Her youngest son insisted on going to the widow next door..."
Long Yujiao nodded thoughtfully.
Chen Wu originally wanted to go find Xu Yin, but she didn't expect Long Yujiao to come towards her.
"Third sister-in-law, let me help you pick mushrooms."
With Long Yujiao around, her plan to look for Xu Yin was out of the question. Shen Wu didn't refuse help from someone, no matter whether she was sincere or not, as long as she could do the job.
But as Shen Wu was searching for the mushroom, she realized something was wrong.
Long Yujiao even put the red mushroom in for her. If it was something else, Chen Wu might not know what was poisonous, but this mushroom, she knew it was a poisonous mushroom because she had watched videos of others picking mushrooms in her previous life.
In the novel, there are also stories about the heroine discovering delicious mushrooms, ginseng, red ginseng, etc., but there is no plot about eating poisonous mushrooms. She knows whether the mushrooms are poisonous or not.
Why put this red mushroom in here?
While Chen Wu was wondering why Long Yujiao was there, Long Yujiao was also observing Chen Wu. After making sure that she didn't recognize her, she felt relieved and picked up other low-key poisonous mushrooms and threw them in.
Pointing at the red mushroom seriously, he said, "This is poisonous. Be careful when picking mushrooms. I accidentally picked one."
Then he threw the red mushroom out.
The more abnormal it was, the more wrong it seemed. Chen Wu smiled and said, "You know more mushrooms. My home is far from the mountains, so I don't pick mushrooms often."
Seeing Chen Wu's smile, Long Yujiao also smiled and picked mushrooms seriously.
Chen Wu felt that something was wrong, very wrong!
But let her help, at worst she can pick out those poisonous mushrooms in a while.
After picking a basket of solid mushrooms, everyone went down the mountain one after another, and Chen Wu also got up. "It's getting late, it's time to prepare lunch, let's go back."
Long Yujiao didn't want to pick anymore. If it weren't for gaining Chen Wu's trust, she wouldn't have picked with her for so long.
Isn't she just relying on her cooking skills to be lazy and not work in the fields? You still want to compete with her for the teacher's position, but don't you think she is worthy of it?
If, tonight, the Lu family members were poisoned and had hallucinations, she would like to see how Shen Wu would compete with her!
Regardless of whether she stole the ginseng or not, the accident happened because she entered the mountains, so she put the blame on her.
Having completed her own mission, Long Yujiao didn't plan to get involved with Shen Wu, lest she get implicated. "You guys go back. I'll go find Brother Lu Cheng and see if there's anything else."
Chen Wu ignored her and shouted in Xu Yin's direction, "Xu Yin! Are you leaving or not? I'm not slacking off, are you?"
"Don't wait for me to go back and tell Mom—!"
Shen Wu's voice stopped abruptly as she watched Xu Yin coming over carrying a piece of wood that was as tall as a person and half as thick as her arm.
Chen Wu gave a thumbs up!
"Sis! You're awesome."
Shen Wu looked at the bare wood and asked, "What are you doing with this?"
"Someone just said that if you water this dead tree, it will grow wood ear mushrooms. I'll carry it back and save myself the trouble of coming here so often."
Chen Wu, "You are really smart. I admire you!"
But she couldn't carry it even if she was asked to, as her physical strength was no match for Xu Yin's.
Chen Wu looked at Xu Yin with starry eyes. Xu Yin was amused by her and looked at her basket of mushrooms.
"I just saw Long Yujiao and you together, so I didn't go looking for you. How did you two get together?" He looked like he would be angry if they really got together.
"What?" Shen Wu told what had just happened.
"What do you think she meant? She threw the red mushroom in, picked it out, and then threw some other poisonous mushrooms in for me. Could it be that she doesn't recognize them?"
"Besides, I'm lucky to have her around. The mushrooms I find are bigger than those I find on my own. It's hard to find poisonous mushrooms, and she'll pick them for me."
Xu Yin frowned.
"If you didn't throw the red mushroom in and then picked it out, you might not recognize it. But you threw the red mushroom in and then took it out and said it was a poisonous mushroom. Could it be that the red mushroom was testing you?"
"First, let's use the easiest one to test whether you recognize it. If you can't even recognize the simple one, then wouldn't the more difficult one be even harder to recognize?"
"We'll cook dinner tonight, and you'll be looking for mushrooms. If anything goes wrong, she can just blame it on you..."
Chen Wu thought about it and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. Otherwise, why would Long Yujiao have nothing to do and come to help her?
This is impossible. Shen Wu can feel that she doesn't like Long Yujiao, and Long Yujiao doesn't like her either. She can't wait to find something to do with her.
The two were walking one after the other.
Someone saw them and said, "Oh no! Your mother-in-law is fighting with someone!"
Chen Wu: “???”
He looked at Xu Yin.
Then he looked at the person who brought the news, "Who is it? Whose fault is it?"
The person who came to report the news was a young man. Being stared at by Chen Wu like this, his face turned red first, and he scratched his head and said, "I don't know!"
"I heard from the aunties watching outside that it was your mother-in-law who cheated on Uncle Lu."
"The villagers saw him, and he still refuses to admit it!"
Chen Wu: "Ah?"
Her mother-in-law is old and has wrinkles all over her face from the sun. At this age... it's impossible!
Chen Wu and Xu Yin looked at each other.
They walked quickly towards home. The road was muddy after the rain and not easy to walk on. When they arrived, there was already a circle of people surrounding them.
Shen Wu couldn't see what was happening inside.
"You little punk!"
"You're actually teasing me!"
"Lanlan? Are you disgusting? My old man has never called me..."
"You're not looking for me? If you're not looking for me, why are you looking for Lu Sulan from Laoya Village?"
"I will not change my name or surname. This is my only name. In this village, I am called Lu Sulan!"
…
"What do you mean she's prettier than me? When I was young, I, Lu Sulan, was also the most beautiful girl in the village!"
Everyone was just milling around, Chen Wu was eating melons and moving forward. As she listened, she felt something was wrong and looked at Xu Yin with wide eyes.
