Su Miaomiao and Zhang Xing moved quietly, running down the mountain one after the other.
Zhang Xing followed Su Miaomiao all the time, looking back as he ran. He only breathed a sigh of relief and said after he had run for a distance.
"The tiger didn't catch up. We are safe."
Su Miaomiao stopped and leaned against a tree, breathing heavily.
She felt like she was scared to death just now. This was the first time in her life that she had experienced such a dangerous thing.
Fortunately, the system prompted them in time, giving them a chance to escape, otherwise she couldn't even imagine what the consequences would be.
When she thinks about it now, she still can't help but feel a pang of fear.
After a short rest of a few minutes, they continued walking down the mountain.
After what happened just now, they no longer had the heart to look for treasures, and they just wanted to get down the mountain and go home quickly.
On the way up the mountain, they left marks on the trees with a kitchen knife. Now they followed the marks on the trees and walked down the mountain. Soon they arrived at the place where they hid the wild vegetables.
Zhang Xing was worried that the herbs would be crushed if placed at the bottom, so when he arrived at the place, he first took out all the things he had just picked, and then put the fern at the bottom of the basket, and used the remaining space on the top to put the wild vegetables, fruits and herbs he picked later.
His backpack was soon filled up, and he followed Su Miaomiao's method, tying up the remaining ferns with ropes and carrying them down the mountain with a wooden stick.
When going down the mountain, Su Miaomiao walked in front carrying bracken, and Zhang Xing walked behind her carrying herbs.
They gained a lot from this trip up the mountain, they were all in a good mood, and they walked with more energy than usual.
When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, Su Miaomiao gathered some grass and covered Zhang Xing's backpack with it.
They had just moved to this village and didn't know the local customs yet, so they had to be on guard against others. It always helped to pay more attention to everything.
At this moment, they had just arrived at the foot of the mountain when they met two women carrying small baskets and digging wild vegetables.
The two men saw them first, walked towards them quickly, and greeted them in a very familiar manner.
"Sister, you're the new one who just moved here, right? Are you going up the mountain?"
"Oh my god, you picked so many ferns, you're going to get rich."
It is obviously abnormal to be suddenly stopped by a stranger and the other party is so enthusiastic.
Zhang Xing immediately became alert and subconsciously stepped forward to protect Su Miaomiao.
"Sister-in-law, they..."
Seeing this, Su Miaomiao winked at Zhang Xing nonchalantly.
"It's okay, don't be nervous, just saying hello."
Su Miaomiao grew up in Northeast China and she knows the enthusiastic and cheerful people of Northeast China very well.
People in Northeast China believe that greeting people is the most basic courtesy. They teach their children from a young age to go out in a bold manner. When you meet people, you must speak and not mumble in silence.
Therefore, talking to people when you meet them is a basic practice for people in Northeast China.
Moreover, she knew at first glance that the two older sisters had no ill will towards them.
Su Miaomiao walked forward and said with a smile.
"Yes, we moved here yesterday. We were planning to go to the mountains to find something to eat. My brother-in-law and I went up the mountain early this morning. We were lucky enough to pick a lot of ferns, but we didn't see any mushrooms or anything. I don't know if it was just bad luck or what."
The woman who looked to be in her thirties said in surprise when she heard Su Miaomiao's accent.
"Hey sister, you speak Northeastern dialect very well."
Another slightly older woman clapped her hands and said excitedly.
"Big sister, don't you see what time it is? This is not mushroom season. If you want to pick mushrooms, you have to wait at least another month. Besides, it hasn't rained here recently, so how can there be mushrooms?"
The younger woman agreed.
"Yes, it's not mushroom season yet. Right now, we can only pick some wild vegetables when we go up the mountain. We've already picked all the wild vegetables near here. If we want to pick more, we have to go further. The main thing is that there are all kinds of things in the mountains, so it's not easy to go there. You must have walked quite far to pick these wild vegetables, right?"
When Su Miaomiao heard these words, she nodded and told the truth.
"Sister, you're right. We walked quite a distance to pick these wild vegetables."
The young woman said shyly.
"Why call me sister? Call me sister-in-law. I've been married to your eldest brother for several years. My name is Zhang Xiufen, you can just call me Sister-in-law Xiufen."
"Okay, Sister Xiufen, my name is Su Miaomiao, you can call me Miaomiao."
After both of them introduced themselves, another older woman also took the initiative to speak.
"My name is Sun Xiaohong, and they all call me Sister Xiaohong."
"Hello, Sister-in-law Xiaohong."
"Hey, sister Miaomiao is so sweet. I can tell from the looks of it that your personality is compatible with mine."
The three women knew each other's names, and they subconsciously looked at Zhang Xing.
A trace of panic flashed across Zhang Xing's face. He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, then spoke.
"Hello, sisters-in-law. My name is Zhang Xing, and Su Miaomiao is my eldest sister-in-law."
Zhang Xiufen and Sun Xiaohong looked at Zhang Xing for a moment, then Zhang Xiufen greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, hello, young man. You are so fair and handsome. You are different from those rough old men here. You are much more beautiful than them."
Zhang Xing was suddenly praised and blinked a little embarrassedly. Is he really as good as the other party said?
At this time, Sun Xiaohong asked.
"You are indeed handsome. How old are you this year, young man? Are you married?"
Asking about personal matters on the first meeting? That's not a good idea, right?
I heard before that the people in Ningguta are quite tough, and it seems to be true.
Zhang Xing was a little uncomfortable, he scratched his hair and said.
"Not yet. I'm 19."
"You're 19 and it's time to get married. What kind of woman are you looking for? Do you want me to introduce you to one?"
Zhang Xing was originally a very extroverted person, but he was called introvert by these two sisters-in-law.
He looked at Su Miaomiao for help, and Su Miaomiao spoke to smooth things over.
"Sister-in-law, please stop teasing him. My brother-in-law is very sensitive."
"Hahaha, okay, I won't tease him anymore."
The two sisters-in-law laughed and the matter was over.
Zhang Xiufen asked, "Are you going to take your husband's lunch at noon? If you can't find the place, I can take you there."
"Can I go deliver the food?" Su Miaomiao asked subconsciously, and then quickly said, "Sister-in-law Xiufen, I'll go. Please take me with you later."
Zhang Xiufen agreed readily.
"Okay, I'll call you when I pass by your house later, and we'll go together. I'll lead you once, and next time you'll be able to find it yourself."
Su Miaomiao thought so too. She was thinking about delivering food to Xiao Yunfei, and spoke with a gentle smile.
"Sisters-in-law, it's almost noon. I have to go home and cook. Let's talk when we have time."
"Okay, go home and cook, we'll talk later."
After saying goodbye to their two sisters-in-law, Su Miaomiao and Zhang Xing headed towards home.
Seeing that Su Miaomiao handled the situation well, Zhang Xing couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
After walking for a while, Zhang Xing made sure that no one else could hear him, so he lowered his voice and asked.
