Chapter 296: A Journey into the Mountains with a Full Return



This wild fruit is indeed delicious. When she came to the mountains last year, she also picked some and ate them. The sweet taste is very pleasant.

It seems that their luck is pretty good today, as they encountered something good just after they entered the edge of the mountains.

Shen Yao and Lin Xi squatted down, picked up a wild sweet potato and started eating.

Shen Qiu ate more than ten of them before turning to the two sisters who were picking wild sweet potatoes and said, "How is it? Isn't it delicious? I haven't eaten this kind of fruit for a year. It tastes so delicious!"

"Well, it's very delicious. Let's pick some more and bring them back home so that everyone at home can taste them." Shen Yao nodded and agreed.

Although wild sweet potatoes are small in size, they taste just as good as the fruits sold in city stores.

Moreover, it grows wild in the mountains without being contaminated by any pollution, so there is no need to worry about it being unclean.

In the future, the price of this kind of wild sweet potato will be very high, even exceeding the value of many ordinary fruits.

After all, in later times, purely natural fruits are rarely seen, and those fruits are almost all grown with chemicals.

However, the taste of that kind of fruit is always much worse. Unlike the wild things growing in the mountains, its taste is much purer and sweeter than that of artificially grown ones.

Lin Xi swallowed the wild sweet potato in her mouth, narrowed her eyes, and said with a smile, "This fruit is so sweet, sweeter than some other fruits, and it tastes light and fragrant."

It was the first time for her to eat such wild fruits, and they tasted really good.

It’s a pity that Zixuan didn’t come along this time, otherwise, he could have tasted the fruit with me.

The three sisters stayed where they were, picking wild sweet potatoes and eating them while chatting. After they had eaten their fill, they got up and looked for straw ropes to make baskets.

"Wow, we picked three full baskets. We can have enough to eat this time." Looking at the three full baskets of wild sweet potatoes, Shen Qiu was suddenly very happy and said to the two little sisters with a smile.

Seeing her excited expression, Shen Yao couldn't help but smile.

Sister Xiaoqiu looks like someone who has been hungry and hasn't eaten for a long time.

Whenever Shen Qiu comes across something delicious, he becomes very happy.

And no matter how much food there is, she never seems to get tired of eating it.

Shen Yao picked up a basket, looked at Shen Qiu and Lin Xi beside her, and said, "Let's go, pick some wild vegetables, hunt some prey, and then we can go back."

Once you go into the mountains, you have to catch some prey to make the trip worthwhile.

Cooking and eating fresh wild mushrooms is just the right way to satisfy your hunger.

"Okay." Lin Xi nodded in response, reached out to pick up the basket and followed Shen Yao's steps.

With Shen Yao's help, the three of them had a fruitful trip. They picked a lot of mushrooms and wild vegetables, and shot a few pheasants and rabbits.

As for those wild fruit trees full of fruits, we could only pick a few symbolically and take them home.

Because they had decided to go into the mountains on a whim, Shen Yao and the other two did not bring any backpacks with them.

So even if you see something good, you can only give up on it for the time being and come back another day with a basket to pick it.

Shen Yao and his two companions, each carrying four straw baskets, walked out of the mountains happily.

Not far from the Shen family courtyard, they ran into Zheng Chengdong and Zhou Qi who were out looking for someone.

"Where have you been shopping?" Looking at the three little sisters who were talking and laughing, Zhou Qi quickly walked forward and asked curiously.

She looked down at the baskets in Shen Yao and the others' hands. There were many things in them, but she didn't seem to recognize some of them.

Shen Qiu grabbed a few wild sweet potatoes and prickly ash from the basket and put them into Zhou Qi's palm, smiling and saying, "Hey, let me share two good things with you."

After that, she pointed at the two kinds of fruits and introduced them to Zhou Qi happily, "This one is a wild sweet potato, and this one is what we call a prickly ash. They are both very sweet. Try them and see if you like them."

"Okay, thank you!" Zhou Qi was amused by her happy look and said to her with a smile.

Then, she picked up a prickly ash and put it in her mouth, her eyes flashed slightly. Just as Shen Qiu said, it tasted sweet.

Zhou Qi then ate two wild sweet potatoes, and there was an unconscious look of curiosity in his eyes.

Shen Qiu looked at her and asked with a smile, "How do you feel? Is it especially delicious?"

"Yeah, very sweet." Zhou Qi nodded sincerely, and then asked with a smile, "Did you pick this fruit in the mountains?"

"Yes, it was Yaoyao who took us there. We picked a lot of fruits in the mountains." Lin Xi shook the basket in her hand and replied with a slight smile.

Hearing this, Zheng Chengdong couldn't help but narrow his eyebrows.

He walked up to Shen Yao, looked her over, and said in a serious tone, with worry in his eyes, "Why didn't you call me before going into the mountains? What if something happens in the mountains?"

After saying that, Zheng Chengdong reached out and took a few baskets from Shen Yao's hands.

Seeing these three people carrying so many things, I knew that my little sister must have run into the mountains.

There is no need to worry about Shen Yao's military power, but she brought two ordinary girls, Shen Qiu and Lin Xi.

If an accident happened in the mountains, she would not only have to take care of herself, but also have to protect the other two people. Wouldn't that be a very dangerous situation?

Moreover, if Yaoyao was injured, how would he, as a brother, explain to Jinmo? How would he report to his family?

Especially my own grandfather. If he knew that my presence by my side could still cause harm to my little sister, he would skin me alive.

Although Zheng Chengdong's words were tinged with blame, Shen Yao knew that it was because Fourth Brother was worried about her that his tone became so severe.

She looked up at Zheng Chengdong and saw the worry in his eyes, and she suddenly felt a little guilty.

"Fourth brother, I'm fine. Next time we go into the mountains, I will tell you in advance so that you can be our guardian angel!" Shen Yao gave him a very sweet smile and promised in a well-behaved and coquettish manner.

Hearing this, Zheng Chengdong couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

He reached out and gently patted Shen Yao's head, whispering, "You should be more careful. If anything happens to you, your fourth brother will be dead."

Hearing this, Shen Yao couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart: How afraid is her fourth brother that his life will be in danger?

Seeing her naughty actions, Zheng Chengdong could not help but deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Be serious. If you dare to run around without saying hello again, I will call Grandpa and let him teach you a lesson."

"Yes, sir!" Shen Yao stood up straight instantly, raised her hand to give him a military salute, and said seriously.

After saying this, Shen Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zheng Chengdong raised the corner of his mouth slightly, said to Shen Yao to follow him, and then took the lead to walk back.

Shen Yao uttered an "oh" and then walked slowly behind Zheng Chengdong like a child who had done something wrong.
