As Su Qinghe walked back, she turned a corner and casually poured the little bit of soup from her bowl into the bushes.
Over there, Qin Anmin had just finished emptying his bowl. Seeing Su Qinghe return, he quickly looked up and asked.
"Sister-in-law, is there any soup left?"
Although I was already full, I could still drink.
Su Qinghe shook her head with a regretful look, then sat down and picked up the tea from the next table, pouring some into her bowl.
"There's nothing left, but I'm already full. What? Sister Qin, aren't you full?"
Su Qinghe asked, picking a handful of leaves from the side and stirring them in the bowl. When she felt it was ready, she poured the leaves, along with the tea, into the pile of withered leaves behind her.
Seeing Su Qinghe's strange behavior, Qin Anmin simply thought she was being particular and didn't ask any further questions.
"I'm definitely full, but I'm craving something sweet. Why did you take so long?"
Su Qinghe looked up, a meaningful smile on her face. "Going to do a good deed."
Before Qin Anmin could ask any more questions, Su Qinghe lowered her head and took out a pill from her bundle. "Take this; it's to prevent poisoning."
After saying that, she ate one herself.
Qin Anmin was stunned for a moment, then took it without hesitation and threw it into his mouth.
"You've prepared quite a lot of things. This is deep in the mountains and it's summer now, which is when there are a lot of snakes."
Qin Anmin once again marveled at Su Qinghe's thoughtfulness.
Seeing that Qin Anmin had already come up with his reasons, Su Qinghe smiled and nodded naturally.
"Take a nap after you've eaten, there's still a long way to go!"
After Su Qinghe finished speaking, she leaned against the pillar next to her and closed her eyes. Qin Anmin looked around and saw that most people were resting, so he also leaned to the other side.
The pavilion suddenly became very quiet. Everyone was tired after a long morning, and as soon as they sat down and closed their eyes, they almost fell asleep.
Su Qinghe closed her eyes for about fifteen minutes before opening them again. She had drunk too much soup, and her stomach was so bloated that she felt really uncomfortable.
Turning her head to look at the people crookedly standing in the pavilion, Su Qinghe placed her bundle next to Qin Anmin, got up, and tiptoed into the depths of the woods.
Although everyone was fast asleep, she still had to walk further away to avoid losing face.
Although this place is in the mountains and forests, it is not far from Lingyan Temple below, so there are no wild beasts. However, traces of human activity and trampling can still be seen everywhere.
Su Qinghe searched for a while before finding a relatively secluded spot, surrounded by vegetation—it was practically a perfect toilet.
She casually picked up a twig and tapped it in the grass to make sure there were no snakes before excitedly taking off her pants.
"Phew, that feels so good..."
Feeling her bladder slowly deflate, Su Qinghe squinted comfortably, feeling completely relaxed.
Just then, a rustling sound of footsteps on fallen leaves suddenly came from ahead.
Someone's coming!
Su Qinghe frowned instantly, alert. It wasn't that she was worried they were there to kill her, but rather that these ancient clothes were difficult to wear, and she was afraid of exposing herself!
The bushes where Su Qinghe was located were about 1.3 to 1.4 meters tall, and the four sides were quite close together, so you couldn't see anyone squatting inside unless you looked very closely.
Adhering to the principle of "I will not move unless the enemy moves," Su Qinghe gradually concealed her presence.
The footsteps grew closer, but moved very slowly, as if their owner would stop every few steps.
After a short while, Su Qinghe realized that the newcomer seemed to be just an ordinary person with no internal strength.
In that case, Su Qinghe dared not move even more.
If they came to kill her, that would be fine; if she'd been seen naked, she could just kill them.
But if an ordinary person who has no grudge against her sees her naked, who can she complain to?
Su Qinghe was a little annoyed. The bushes on the side she was facing were very dense, and she could only see some light through small gaps. She couldn't even see a complete figure.
The person who came was doing something unknown; he just kept lingering around and didn't leave.
Su Qinghe could only catch a glimpse of him occasionally when he was within her sight. Seeing him take a few steps and then squat down, she couldn't help but curse him inwardly.
She felt mosquitoes biting her butt!
No matter how much Su Qinghe suffered in the bushes, she was overjoyed to see a red mushroom again when she looked up.
With perfect precision, he tossed the freshly picked termite mushrooms into the basket on his back. Without getting up, he squatted down and moved a few steps away.
I haven't been here for two or three months, and I didn't expect so many mushrooms to have grown so much. The mushrooms I picked today are enough to feed the whole temple.
His unwarranted joy was written all over his face; the corners of his mouth hadn't left his lips since he arrived.
He tossed the red mushrooms into his basket, stood up, rubbed his aching back, and kept scanning his surroundings.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Matsutake mushrooms!"
Upon seeing this thing, which was even more precious than the red mushroom, Wu Wang shouted excitedly and ran over in his monk's shoes.
The direction he headed was precisely the bushes where Su Qinghe was...
Unfortunately, the matsutake mushroom grew right in front of the bushes!
Su Qinghe. "..."
He's not just an ordinary person, he's a man! What is she supposed to do? She doesn't want to act like a scoundrel!
Su Qinghe inwardly groaned, while Wu Wang had already walked up to her and squatted down. At this moment, the only thing separating the two of them was a row of drafty bushes.
"One, two, three, four..."
Hearing the man counting, Su Qinghe became careful with her breathing, afraid that she might accidentally stir the leaves and attract the man's attention.
Because the man was very close and facing her directly, Su Qinghe could vaguely see his face through the gaps in the bushes this time.
He was a monk from Lingyan Temple, but because we were so close and there were so many gaps between us, we could only see a small part of his face, and we still couldn't see his features clearly.
Wu Wang, with his bald head hanging low, was completely focused on the matsutake mushrooms under his hands, utterly unaware that a naked woman was squatting in front of him.
“The chef recently caught a cold, and this is just the right amount of soup to make for him.”
Wu Wang muttered to himself, raised his hand and patted the matsutake mushroom cap, then carefully pulled it out.
After tossing several matsutake mushrooms into his basket, Wu Wang finally dared to raise his gaze upwards.
Su Qinghe almost made eye contact with him, but quickly closed her eyes.
...This thrill is comparable to the high-difficulty missions she carried out in her previous life.
Su Qinghe was on the verge of tears.
Meanwhile, Wu Wang stared blankly at the bushes in front of him.
Mushrooms always grow in clusters. There were only five matsutake mushrooms earlier. Could there be more inside?
