Chapter 78 Mountain Goods
A week passed quickly, and on the day of rest, Da Hong came to find Jin Ran very early. "Nini, hurry up, it'll be late soon. I saw a lot of people heading up the mountain."
After Jinran finished packing, she carried her basket and followed Da Hong up the mountain.
Da Hong whispered, "Nini, I'm telling you, I know the follow-up to what happened with Shen Yanhong."
So Da Hong started rambling on and on: "The day before yesterday, I suddenly had the urge to hide in the haystack. I thought I might find out something. Who knew I would actually hear something. Meng Zhiqing and Shen Yanhong were talking to each other, and then they started making 'woo woo woo ah ah ah' sounds."
That guy really scared me! I didn't dare look. They left after a while, and only then did I dare go home. I went to ask my grandma, and she told me not to go there so carelessly again, and not to ask about anything. "Don't tell anyone, but you and I are such good friends, I have to tell you, Nini, you know a lot. What happened there?"
Jinran: "............" Do you want me to tell you that this is a live broadcast in high definition without any mosaic?
Let's just let it go and move on.
“Hong, you have to listen to your grandma. Just pretend this never happened, and don’t go to that haystack anymore.”
Big Red nodded obediently and then said, "I have a new place to stay now. So I'm not going there anymore."
Jinran: ".............." How could she be so stubborn!
Jinran followed Dahong to the secret place she had mentioned. "Nini, this is the tree I found last year. My grandma said the pine cones on this tree are especially good. But the hazelnuts and chestnuts I found last year weren't very good. I'll have to look more carefully this year."
Jinran remembered that the original owner had also noted down a few trees that were growing well last year. Jinran immediately shared them with Dahong.
So the two of them started working. Apart from his love of gossip, Da Hong was incredibly hardworking, both fast and excellent.
Da Hong said smugly to Jin Ran, "I'm only doing this to accommodate your progress; otherwise, I would have finished in one morning."
The red pine tree was too tall for the two of them to climb, so they could only pick up the fallen branches on the ground, but that was enough for them.
Their baskets were soon full, and there was still a lot left on the ground, but they had to go home and agreed to come back in the afternoon.
To everyone's surprise, as they walked down the mountain, they saw Shen Yanhong and Huang Yuanyuan fighting. A crowd of people were watching the spectacle.
Da Hong grabbed Jin Ran and nimbly darted forward, quickly taking up a favorable position with a great view of the entire area.
The two had reached the point of tearing each other apart, and it seemed that Shen Yanhong had a slight advantage. With a somersault, Shen Yanhong pinned Huang Yuanyuan down and started slapping her face.
He continued cursing, "How can you be so shameless? Do you try to steal anything someone else wants? I told you that tree is mine, don't you hear me? Playing the slut, is it so fun...?"
The onlookers were thoroughly entertained. Meng Fan had vanished, and Huang Yuanyuan's face was swollen from the beating. She could only make muffled noises.
Da Hong whispered in Jin Ran's ear, "This 'woo woo woo' doesn't sound like the 'woo woo woo' I heard, so Meng Fan isn't hitting Chen Yan Hong."
Jinran thought, "Is this something I can't get over?"
After watching for a while, Jinran found it boring. Apart from the vulgarities, there was no progress. It was just filler content. She decided to go home and have dinner.
Da Hong, however, thought differently; she believed the show was about to get even more exciting.
Jinran told Da Hong and then went home.
After arriving home, she fed the animals first, intending to treat herself well, as she was exhausted from the day.
I ate a half-finished braised pork dish with a sugary soda, so satisfying!
Besides seafood, the space was filled with semi-finished food, but the taste was only so-so.
But it's not bad either.
After a good night's sleep, she headed up the mountain. The people she met along the way were all talking about Shen Yanhong and Huang Yuanyuan.
Before Da Hong arrived, Jin Ran got to work on her own. She hadn't dared to show off her strength that morning, so taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she quickly shook the pine tree a few times and ran away. She then saw the pine cones falling down like snowflakes.
The leaves quickly covered the ground, and there weren't many left on the tree.
Jinran was thinking of going to the deep mountains to fleece people after a while.
Just then, Da Hong came skipping over. After seeing Jin Ran, she said mysteriously, "Nini, my intuition was right. It's going to get even more exciting later."
