Walking into the wall, Ji He discovered that the style of this Tu Mo's house was very different from other Tu Mo's houses.
Starting from the entrance, the ground was covered with black mushrooms, and each mushroom was crawling with tiny insects. They were entangled and wriggling together, making people look very uncomfortable.
For a moment, Ji He thought about retreating.
This mushroom doesn't look right, and she doesn't know what the task will be like. What if she gets bitten by a worm? What should she do?
It's not that she can't endure hardship.
Given a choice, who would want to endure hardship?
But after hesitating for a long time, she still took a firm step and walked towards the yard.
There were still more than four hours left before the teleportation, and if she wanted to successfully find the next Tu Mo's home, she would need to leave at least two hours.
Even if she wasn't picking mushrooms or scraping cleansing moss along the way, it would still take her about an hour to walk.
Adding the time required to complete the task, 4 hours may not be enough.
She was not used to such a tight schedule; it was not her style.
And what if?
She was unlucky and failed to find the next Tu Mo home within the specified time, or that Tu Mo home gave away all the mushrooms?
Then this inked home would be the last one she found in the underground Mushroom Ridge.
She couldn't just let it go.
Just now when she was doing the task, she heard someone say that some Tu Mo's house had no mushrooms left, so it would be useless to go there.
Having made up his mind, Ji He's steps became more determined.
She had made up her mind, and she would not back down even if she was asked to eat insects.
With your eyes closed and your mouth open, is there anything you can’t eat?
Just eat it until you die.
No matter what he was thinking, as he was getting closer to the yard, Ji He's eyes couldn't help but glance at the people who were doing tasks in the yard.
She wanted to see what tasks these people were doing and whether they were of any reference value.
Compared to other inked homes, there weren't that many people in this yard, only about a dozen or so, all relatively far away.
And most of them are men, there are only three women, and Ji He is the fourth.
These people were holding a large wooden hammer that was more than one meter long, standing in front of a large basin, hammering something frantically.
Ji He could clearly see black juice splashing out as the hammer was raised and dropped.
At this moment, a man put down his hammer, grabbed a few handfuls of black stuff from the bucket next to him and threw it into the big basin, and continued to hammer it repeatedly.
Ji He finally let go of the worry that had been weighing on his mind.
Isn't it just physical work?
She can.
As she got closer, she realized that there were bugs next to each person's bucket, densely packed with large black bugs that kept wriggling.
And they need to put these insects into a large basin and pound them into mud.
No one knows what the black bugs are made of, but they are very hydrated. One man didn't use enough strength to catch them and accidentally crushed one.
The black juice burst out instantly and sprayed all over him.
This led to a series of curses.
Although this scene looked a bit disgusting, Ji He accepted it well. It was better than asking her to eat insects.
"Hello, I'm here to take the mission."
"Okay, okay, I'll be waiting for you. Go ahead. After you finish the task, you still have to collect the garbage, right?"
"The reward is not silver coins but mushrooms, right?"
"I know everything. Just go ahead and do your task. Among all the ink-painting tasks, my task is the easiest."
Ji He only said one sentence, and the ink-stained man started talking like a machine gun.
It also considerately assigned Ji He a very marginal place, keeping her away from other people.
"Hey, I don't know what's going on these days, there are so many idiots."
"I have told them many times that if you just pull the calf of this insect it will automatically hydrate, but they ignored me and insisted on hitting it with a hammer."
"It's a good job, but they made it extra dirty, leaving the floor all over. After they leave, I still have to mop the floor."
"I haven't said anything yet, but they are already unhappy. Every one of them has a negative mood. What are they doing? They come here even though they don't want to, as if I'm forcing them..."
Ji He: “…”
Whoever is beating bugs here probably won’t be happy, right?
Don't say you're unhappy. I see almost everyone doing it has a hideous look on their face.
If they really had a choice, they would probably want to give up.
Ji He calmed down and reached out to catch the bugs.
She was a rough girl, but not as delicate as other girls, so she was not afraid of these insects at all.
Grabbing a big insect, Ji He imitated what Tu Mo said and pulled its calf. The next second, the insect began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a pool of black water.
Ji He raised his eyebrows, it’s quite simple.
But this hand was inevitably stained with black water.
Then she quickly started pulling the insect's legs.
At first she pulled them one by one, but later she could grab three in one hand and pull them at the same time, which greatly improved her efficiency.
Compared to other people, it's like running at double speed.
At first, Ji He was just pulling it in the corner by herself, and no one else noticed her.
But in the context of everyone hammering, this person who didn't use a hammer and was very quiet stood out.
Then everyone noticed that there was a person in the corner who could turn the black bugs into water just by touching them.
What kind of talent is this?
Is it corrosive?
Under the gaze of everyone, Ji He's expression remained unchanged. He neither looked up to speak nor concealed his movements in the slightest.
After a while, someone noticed that the girl was pulling the insect's legs.
Some of them suddenly had an idea and tried to pull it as well.
The next second, he was surprised to find that the extremely hard bug in his hand suddenly melted!
It just melted!
This scene shocked everyone.
Then everyone abandoned their hammers and started pulling the insect's legs frantically at a very fast speed.
Compared with the previous physical work, this method is so much easier.
Ji He saw it all, said nothing, and continued pulling the leg.
By the time he had finished pulling out all the insects in the basin, Ji He's hands had turned completely black.
This method is simple, but it is inevitable that it will get on your hands, and there is nothing you can do about it.
After finding Tu Mo, Ji He handed him 46 mushrooms before she even opened her mouth.
"Oh, keep it. I see. You changed those little fools and saved my poor land. This is what you deserve."
"Go to the backyard to collect the trash, and you don't have to come back. I'll give you the mushrooms in advance."
"Don't worry, they all say you're doing a good job. I believe you."
"……Thanks……"
After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic Tu Mo, Ji He walked towards the backyard carrying the black mushrooms.
This mushroom is pitch black and slender all over. It is tied with vines and is not difficult to carry on the shoulder.
[Insect-attracting mushrooms: Insects’ favorite. Wherever there are insect-attracting mushrooms, all insects will approach them enthusiastically.
Note: A thing that attracts bugs. 】
