They only need to carry a backpack or a basket to pick up the fruits, and they can harvest a lot.
If you are lucky, you can also come across wild mushrooms and wild fruits, such as wax gourd, wild kiwi fruit, etc. They have them all here!
Hearing this, Xu Jing, a city kid who was born and raised, could no longer sit still!
God knows how much she likes to go to the sea and mountains, pick wild mushrooms and break bamboo shoots.
She felt extremely satisfied just by watching the dogs' backpacks being filled up little by little with the gifts of nature.
When I heard that I still had the opportunity to experience it, I agreed without hesitation.
As for Lin Xi, she also loves the mountains and nature.
After all, the spiritual energy there is purer.
So I agreed to go up the mountain together.
Early in the morning on the holiday, the three of them met at the village entrance.
Carrying the backpacks sponsored by Aunt Liao, the three girls walked towards the Bai Miao secret base, talking and laughing.
The rice here in Bai Miao matures relatively late, and some families are currently harvesting rice, or busy drying the rice, loading it into warehouses, etc., so not many people have time to go up the mountain.
The three of them turned left and right, climbed several slopes, and finally arrived at the place Bai Miao mentioned.
Although the climb was tiring, Xu Jing had to admit that this journey really broadened her horizons and she truly experienced the excitement of seeing treasures everywhere.
When we arrived under the chestnut tree, we saw many yellow and cracked chestnuts lying on the ground, with thorns still on their shells.
With Bai Miao's reminder, they had already prepared tongs to pick up chestnuts.
Because she was too excited, Xu Jing didn't feel tired at all. She bent over and started picking chestnuts frantically.
It didn't take long before all the chestnuts on the ground were picked up by them.
Although there are no more on the ground, there are still many hanging on the trees.
Because the tree was too tall and difficult to climb, Bai Miao could only look regretful.
Just as they were about to say that they would come back in a few days, they saw Lin Xi beside them suddenly raise one foot and act as if to kick the chestnut tree.
But before she left, she said something to Bai Miao and Xu Jing.
"You guys move away first, lest you get hit."
Xu Jing and Bai Miao looked at each other, and thinking of Lin Xi's powerful strength, they retreated a few meters without saying a word.
Seeing that they had retreated far enough, Lin Xi kicked them forward.
In an instant, the chestnuts on the tree fell down like raindrops.
Miraculously, Lin Xi, who was standing under the chestnut tree, was not hit at all.
The chestnuts falling from the tree seemed to have eyes and all avoided Lin Xi. Some even made a movement that defied gravity to avoid Lin Xi's fall.
Xu Jing and Bai Miao were stunned by this scene.
Only when no more chestnuts fell did Lin Xi call the two of them over to continue picking them up.
Her kick knocked down a lot of chestnuts, enough for them to pick up for a while.
I originally thought that Lin Xi would pick up the trash with them, but I didn't expect Lin Xi to suddenly frown and say something to them quickly.
"Wait here for me, I'll be right back."
After saying that, the whole person disappeared from their sight in a flash.
The two of them just stood there in a daze, and it took two seconds for them to come to their senses.
Then I comforted myself, it’s okay, they just have to get used to such scenes.
As for Lin Xi, the reason she left suddenly was because she suddenly sensed a fluctuation of breath, as if a breath of life suddenly disappeared.
However, the place where the breath came from was a little far away from the chestnut tree. Even though Lin Xi rushed over as fast as he could, he still couldn't stop the anger from happening.
She only heard a terrified scream gradually coming from the bottom of the cliff, followed by a loud "bang" sound, as if something fell down.
She walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, vaguely seeing a human figure lying at the bottom of the cliff.
And around, apart from the fallen person, there was no trace of another person.
Not man-made?
Because the situation was not clear at the moment, Lin Xi could only take out his cell phone to call the police, then turned around and found Bai Miao and Xu Jing and told them what had happened here.
When the two heard that someone had fallen off the cliff, their faces turned pale.
For a moment, Ban Li was no longer in the mood to pick up the chestnuts, so he quickly followed Lin Xi down the mountain.
Just as they walked down the mountain, the police who received the alarm also arrived.
Lin Xi took the initiative to step forward and explain the situation, then took them to the place where the man fell off the cliff.
Bai Miao and Xu Jing were actually a little scared, but they thought about what if they could help in any way, so they finally mustered up the courage to follow.
After a group of people walked over and looked, they found that the person who fell off the cliff was a middle-aged woman.
Xu Jing and Lin Xi did not know the deceased, but Bai Miao had some impression of him.
After seeing the dead man's face clearly, she whispered.
"This girl looks like an aunt from the next village..."
Seeing that she knew the deceased, the police officer asked about the address of the next village and more information about the deceased.
Bai Miao also told them everything he knew.
Finally, the body was taken away for further investigation. The police also asked Lin Xi to keep her cell phone turned on at all times, as she might need her cooperation if there were any follow-up developments.
Lin Xi nodded to show his understanding.
The three of them had originally gone up the mountain happily to pick chestnuts, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing. They were all in a heavy mood when they arrived at the village.
Not long after they arrived in the village, they heard the news that someone in the neighboring village had fallen off a cliff and died.
For a while, the village began to discuss the topic of the aunt who fell off the cliff.
Lin Xi and Xu Jing went to Bai Miao's house, and the three of them shelled the chestnuts they brought and prepared them for further processing.
This task took more time than they had imagined. Before they could finish it, Bai Miao's grandfather, the village chief, came in hurriedly from outside.
Seeing Lin Xi and Xu Jing were both busy, he greeted them and sat down to help the other children process the chestnuts.
Bai Miao guessed that his grandfather must have gone to the next village to inquire about the situation, so he couldn't help but ask about his grandfather.
"Grandpa, what's going on with Aunt Juhua's family?"
Aunt Juhua is the aunt who just fell off the cliff.
Hearing this, Village Chief Bai looked at Lin Xi inexplicably, and then said.
"I'm telling you this, don't tell anyone else, or someone will say it's our village that's causing bad influence."
Upon hearing this, Bai Miao's heart skipped a beat.
She seemed to have guessed what had happened in Aunt Juhua's family.
