In the morning of October in the Changbai Mountain deep in the mountains, there is still a chill in the air. Even the rising sun cannot warm the coldness deep in the forest.
Xiangfangnan had just opened the door a crack when he was startled by the chill outside: "Huh~"
The exhaled breath had already formed a white mist.
Seeing this, Xu Hua hurriedly looked up the weather conditions for the day. When he saw that it would snow tonight, Xu Hua couldn't help but frown.
"Xiaobai, how far are we from the cabin now?"
"It's less than fifty kilometers away." Bai Shangye replied to Xu Hua without hesitation: "Based on our current pace, we should be there around one in the afternoon."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Hua and said, "But why are you asking this suddenly?"
"It's okay. I just wanted to confirm it." Xu Hua said, looking up at the sky through the shade of the trees. "Let's see if we can get to the cabin before it snows."
"It's snowing?" Bai Shangye gasped. "Is it going to snow now?"
"Yeah, don't you think the weather has been getting colder these past two days?"
"I feel it, but it's not even October yet and it's snowing already. Isn't it a bit too early?" As someone who grew up in the south, Bai Shangye didn't know that winter in the Northeast comes earlier than in other places.
"It's getting late." An armed forces member beside them replied without hesitation: "Here we usually start snowing in mid-October and continue until early April of the following year."
"Mid-October to early April?" Bai Shangye was already frightened by this: "Doesn't that mean it will snow for five or six months?"
"Yes, otherwise why do we say that there are only two seasons in the north, one summer and one winter."
"That's right. Before I even have time to experience spring and autumn, summer arrives, followed by winter and the New Year."
While Xu Hua and the others were chatting and walking towards the cabin, Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan had already cooked a pot of red date, sweet potato and millet porridge.
While cooking the millet porridge, Xiangfangnan also cut some potato shreds.
It’s no secret that Xiangfangnan’s knife skills are pretty good, and the potato shreds he cuts look pretty good.
Then Song Tiantian mixed some batter with flour and shredded potatoes, fried a few potato pancakes in a frying pan in the cabin, and heated up the leftover mushroom and vermicelli stew they had eaten last night. A fairly hearty breakfast was ready.
After eating a bowl of hot millet porridge, Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan felt warmed up.
After eating, Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan, who had already learned that it would snow tonight, decided to go outside and pick more mushrooms and herbs before the snow fell.
After all, with such heavy snow, even if Lu Chuanbei and the others would definitely arrive today, they might not be able to get down the mountain immediately.
Moreover, this delay, coupled with the changes brought about by the snow, means that if you catch a cold by accident, you should prepare some extra spare herbs in the mountains for emergencies.
Although Xu Hua felt that Song Tiantian was a little too worried, looking at her serious expression, Xu Hua finally agreed to let them go into the woods to dig herbs, but at the same time he also made an agreement with Song Tiantian and the others that the place where they dug herbs should not be too far from the cabin.
Moreover, if anything goes wrong, you must immediately return to the cabin.
Song Tiantian nodded and agreed without saying anything.
Then, she and Xiangfangnan prepared bamboo baskets for going into the woods to collect herbs, as well as a few small hoes, sickles, and shovels for digging herbs. Finally, before going out, Song Tiantian thought about it and took a few sacks from the corner of the cabin.
Bai Shangye looked at Song Tiantian's actions and couldn't help but frown: "Tiantian, you are not planning to go into the mountains to collect herbs, but to buy goods in the mountains, right?"
[Pfft...Brother Bai's description is quite vivid.]
[They're definitely going to buy some goods, aren't they? Not only did this guy bring two bamboo baskets, but Tiantian also brought several bags, sacks at that. Isn't this the typical scene of people going to the market to buy New Year's goods?]
[This only applies to large markets in the Northeast. If it were put on a large market in the South, the boss would definitely be shocked.]
[Whether the boss would be frightened or not is not important. If there were a mountain god on Changbai Mountain, he would definitely be frightened by Tiantian's expression as if she was about to go into the mountain to buy some goods, right?]
[Tiantian, why don’t we just take fewer bags? It would be so embarrassing if we come back empty-handed later (smirk)]
[Hahaha, I'm wondering now, if she really comes back with an empty bag, do you think Tiantian will cry?]
[Rubbing my hands in anticipation.jpg I've never seen Tiantian cry~ But since she's so cute, she must look pretty when she cries, right?]
[You guys above are so mean, you're really the worst, but why am I also looking forward to it? ]
[Hehe… In that case, Tiantian should bring a few more bags into the mountains… Hehe, the image of Tiantian running back crying is so cute just thinking about it!]
Song Tiantian didn't realize that just by carrying a few more sacks into the mountains, the audience began to expect her to return empty-handed and crying.
Look, she was even confidently saying to Bai Shangye, "Yes, I have a feeling I'll be able to return with a full load today, so I need to prepare more bags for herbs and mushrooms, otherwise I won't have room to put them later, which would be bad."
Hearing this, Bai Shangye couldn't understand what the words "no place" meant. He looked at Xiang Nan using hemp rope to tie the two bamboo baskets, which were almost half a person's height, through two ropes that could be used for carrying, and preparing to carry them on his back. He couldn't help but say, "Nan Nan, don't you want to say something?"
Xiangfangnan glanced calmly at Bai Shangye's drone and said, "Tiantian is right."
Bai Shangye, who thought he could ask Xiangfangnan to persuade Song Tiantian, suddenly became withdrawn.
Xu Hua on the side couldn't help laughing.
But no matter what, Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan were still preparing to go out.
Before leaving, Xiangfangnan and Song Tiantian closed the cabin, but they did not lock it. After all, this cabin was a temporary residence for the forest rangers and also a supply point in the mountains.
If they locked the door, then if someone passed by the cabin and wanted to go in to replenish food while they were not back, or encountered some danger and wanted to take shelter in the cabin, it would be troublesome.
For this reason, Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan would not deliberately lock the door for their own convenience.
As soon as they entered the forest, Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan spread out their mental power and quickly searched for mushrooms and herbs in the forest.
After a while, the two empty bamboo baskets were instantly filled with a layer of herbs and mushrooms.
When Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan were picking herbs and mushrooms, they specially put them in two bamboo baskets respectively. This made the audience, who originally thought that the two little guys might return home disappointed today, stunned.
What happened? I just went downstairs to pick up takeout, so why are there so many mushrooms and herbs in these two bamboo baskets?
Can I say that I've been watching the live broadcast and still haven't figured out what's going on?
"Me too. Didn't they just enter the forest? How could they find so many mushrooms and herbs so quickly?"
[Wow, Tiantian found another bunch of chanterelles buried in the fallen leaves, and Nannan also found a patch of safflower. They're so fast... are they really getting their supplies from the mountains?]
I haven't even realized how they found all those mushrooms and herbs yet, but they've already picked them and put them in their bamboo baskets. If they keep picking at this pace, I think Tiantian's bamboo baskets and bags will be full by the end of the day.
"No way, these are several sacks. If they were all filled, how much would we have to dig out?"
I live in the mountains digging wild mushrooms for a living, but I can't guarantee I can find this many mushrooms and herbs in a day, not to mention Tiantian and Nannan, who are not even ten years old between them... If they can really pick this much, then I think I've wasted half my life.
[A moment of silence for the guy above, but looking at the speed of Tiantian and the others, you might really be about to flip over...]
[It's not surprising, actually. After all, this is Changbai Mountain, and it's deep in the forest where few people come. It's normal to have more herbs and mushrooms.]
"That's true. The Changbai Mountain primeval forest is known as the area with the richest plant life resources. How could they find so many... No, I can't make this up anymore. How on earth did Tiantian and the others find those herbs and mushrooms hidden in the corners? Why didn't they notice them even when I was watching the live stream, but these two were able to find them without even looking up?"
[Yes, I even watched the live broadcast replay carefully, but if I hadn't seen the place where Tiantian picked herbs beforehand, I wouldn't have noticed where those mushrooms were hidden.]
[Me too. I even slowed down the playback to 2x speed and didn't notice it either... Could it be that I'm old and my eyesight is not good that's why I didn't notice it?]
[But I had my eyesight checked a few days ago, and both eyes showed 5.1 and 5.2. Why didn't mine show any results? ]
When many viewers began to doubt their lives and suspected that there was something wrong with their eyesight, Song Tiantian and Xiang Nan were sweeping through the woods at an astonishing speed.
But at this moment, a group of golden creatures ran towards the cabin from the depths of the forest.
When they arrived in front of the cabin and found no signs of human activity around, these clever little guys came down from the tree and started to pry at the closed wooden door. One of the little golden monkeys, which was less than two palms in size, even jumped from the big monkey to the wooden door handle.
With a "click" sound, the wooden door creaked open a crack...
