Su Miaomiao couldn't help but feel a little surprised when the word "in vain" came out of Zhang Xing's mouth.
These two words are dialects from the Northeast region.
It means pity, waste.
Sometimes it is also used to describe doing useless and meaningless things.
Maybe it's because she has been speaking Northeastern dialect recently and has lost Zhang Xing's accent.
Su Miaomiao said.
"It's worth it. This is a gift from nature. If we don't pick it today, it might be old and inedible tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. So we should take it back whenever we find it. If we can't finish it, we can try to sell it or give it to others. It's better than letting it rot in the mountains. In Ningguta, having enough food is more important than anything else."
Zhang Xing listened and nodded in agreement.
"Sister-in-law is right, let's pick them quickly and take them back!"
In the following time, the two people chatted while working.
During this period, Su Miaomiao took advantage of Zhang Xing going to the toilet and put some of the picked ferns into the space.
It took them more than forty minutes from the beginning to the end of picking all the ferns.
After picking, Su Miaomiao was so tired that she stretched out her legs and sat on the ground, looking up at the sky.
She hadn't noticed it before when watching the video, but now that she tried it herself, she realized that mountain running was too tiring.
After picking ferns for a while, she felt sore in her back and neck.
"Are you tired, sister-in-law?"
Seeing Zhang Xing handing the water over, Su Miaomiao reached out to take it.
She nodded.
"Yeah, I'm pretty tired." Su Miaomiao saw that Zhang Xing was in much better condition than her, so she asked puzzledly, "Aren't you tired?"
"I'm fine. Not that tired. I used to go up the mountain with my master to collect herbs. I'm used to it."
Zhang Xing said in a light tone.
In fact, there was one thing he didn't say. Not only did he often go up the mountain with his master to collect herbs, but his master's residence was originally in the deep mountains, and his master had always lived a life isolated from the world.
The number of people who can find a master in this world can be counted on one hand, and he is one of them.
I just don’t know how the master is doing now, and I don’t know if he will have the chance to see the master again in this life.
"You look so thin, but I didn't expect you to have such good physical strength."
Su Miaomiao's words brought him back from the sadness of thinking about his master, and Zhang Xing responded with a smile.
"I'm thin because I didn't have enough to eat when I was a kid, which hurt my body. As a result, no matter how much I take care of myself and how much good food I eat, I can't gain weight."
If it were in modern times, a physique that allows you to eat whatever you want without gaining weight would definitely be envied by many people.
But Su Miaomiao saw sadness in Zhang Xing's eyes at this moment.
Su Miaomiao asked tentatively.
"Did you have a bad childhood?"
"Well, it's all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore. Sister-in-law, you take a rest for a while. I'll go take a walk around."
Zhang Xing obviously didn't want to continue talking about his childhood, so Su Miaomiao agreed.
"Okay, go ahead. I'll just sit here and wait for you."
After Zhang Xing left, Su Miaomiao secretly put some fern into the space.
She was worried that Zhang Xing would notice, so she didn't dare put too much.
She rested for a while, then got up and put the picked ferns piled on the ground into her backpack.
They only had one backpack, and it was soon full.
There's still some left on the ground.
She had no choice but to roll the grass into a rope, pack the remaining bracken with the rope, and then divide it into two parts and tie them together, preparing to carry them away with a piece of wood later.
After a while, Zhang Xing came back with an excited look on his face.
"Look, sister-in-law, I picked some Ganoderma lucidum!"
Su Miaomiao walked over quickly, took a look and said in surprise.
"It's really Ganoderma lucidum. There really is a treasure on this mountain."
"Yes, sister-in-law, smell it, it's so fragrant. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen fresh Ganoderma lucidum. This Ganoderma lucidum is so precious. Sister-in-law, I will go up the mountain to collect herbs every day in the future!"
"Okay, as long as you're happy. I'm done resting. Shall we continue up the mountain? Or should we go down immediately?"
Su Miaomiao asked Zhang Xing for his opinion. Zhang Xing had just picked some Ganoderma lucidum and was still excited. He wanted to stay in the mountains forever to see if there were any other surprises.
But he took Su Miaomiao's physical condition into consideration, he said.
"I'm fine with either. If you're tired, let's just go down the mountain. If you can still hold on, let's walk up the mountain. I think the higher you go up the mountain, the more good things there are."
Su Miaomiao saw that Zhang Xing wanted to continue walking up the mountain just like her, so she made a decision immediately.
"Okay, then let's continue up the mountain and set off!"
"Okay, let's go!"
After the two people made the decision, they couldn't help but feel worried when they saw the full basket of ferns.
Zhang Xing proposed.
"How about we leave these ferns here first and come back for them when we go down the mountain?"
Su Miaomiao was worried that these things would be lost and that she wouldn't be able to find them when she came back.
She hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, let's find a place to hide."
Then, the two men found a fallen tree, hid all the ferns in the deep grass behind the tree, and then set off again with their backpacks on their backs.
Zhang Xing kept following her, and Su Miaomiao had no way to do anything, so she could only leave it like this for now.
The two encouraged each other and continued walking up the mountain.
After a while, Su Miaomiao heard a prompt tone.
"Ding, Chaga mushroom found."
She followed the system's instructions to find the chaga mushroom, and just like last time, Zhang Xing used a kitchen knife to cut the chaga mushroom off the tree.
This piece of chaga was bigger and better than the one they had picked before.
They continued walking up the mountain, and after a few steps they heard the prompt tone again.
