"You can dig at any time, but there will be fewer people early in the morning." Liu Xiang shook his head and explained to her.
Moreover, if it was earlier, Liu Xiang would not be free either. She had to make breakfast for the children and send them to school. After sending the children to school, she would go to find Li Xin to dig mushrooms together.
"Oh... I see."
"Let's go a little further ahead."
"good."
The two people walked into the mountain, but did not see any mushrooms. The military wives who had come before had dug up all the mushrooms on the outskirts, and there were not many left.
After all, many military wives in the compound would come here to dig, and the ones they just met were just one of them.
"We have almost dug up all the mushrooms on the periphery. We need to go a little further inside." Liu Xiang took a look and decided to give up searching on the periphery and go to a place deeper inside.
"Okay." Li Xin nodded and had no objection. She was not familiar with the road anyway, so she just had to follow Liu Xiang.
"Soldiers in the army often conduct field training in this mountain range, and sometimes you can hear gunfire. So the area where we can collect things is not large, and we can't go too deep into the mountains."
After all, they didn't know if there were any soldiers training inside today. It would be dangerous if they were shot!
Liu Xiang has been in the army for a long time, and her husband is the political commissar, so she knows more than other military wives.
She probably comes to this mountain often and seems to be quite familiar with it.
"I understand, Sister Xiang."
In fact, if Liu Xiang hadn't called her, she wouldn't have known she could go into the mountains.
Although he knew it now, Li Xin had never thought of coming here alone. After all, even if there was no training, Li Xin felt that it was quite dangerous to be alone in the mountains.
After the two walked deeper into the mountains, they saw many mushrooms that had not been picked yet. It seemed that the military wives had not picked them here yet.
"Okay, let's pick them here." Liu Xiang looked at the mushrooms and pointed at Li Xin.
Li Xin watched Liu Xiang put down the backpack he was carrying and squatted down in front of a patch of mushrooms. It was almost morning now and most of the mushrooms had emerged, making them easier to find.
Liu Xiang demonstrated to Li Xin that he had to use his hands to dig up the soil on both sides of the mushroom, then pick up the mushroom and shake it a few times, and he could pull it out completely without using any small shovel.
Firstly, the soil is loose, and secondly, these mushrooms are easy to pull out, so picking them is relatively easy.
"That's it. Come, try it too." Liu Xiang picked one and asked Li Xin to try it.
"good……"
Although Li Xin had never picked mushrooms before, she had watched the live broadcast, and Liu Xiang had just demonstrated it. She just had to follow her instructions, and it was indeed very easy. She pulled the mushrooms out in one go.
"It's quite fun." Li Xin carefully put the pulled mushrooms into his bag.
"Isn't it fun?" Liu Xiang smiled. "Pick more and give Chenzi a snack tonight!"
"Okay~"
The two men quickly picked all the mushrooms here, and then split into two directions, heading towards other mushrooms.
The mushrooms in the mountains grew very large, some were almost as long as half an arm. Li Xin was very curious and hurried over to pull them out.
"Ah!" Li Xin suddenly exclaimed.
Just as Li Xin was approaching the big mushroom and was about to bend down, a person suddenly appeared in his sight, scaring Li Xin who was about to pick mushrooms.
"What's wrong? Did you encounter a snake?" Liu Xiang, who was not far away, heard the sound and quickly put down the mushroom and ran over.
There were snakes on the mountain. Liu Xiang only remembered this when he heard Li Xin's exclamation. He had forgotten to remind her about this just now.
"Eh?" Liu Xiang ran over and was also startled when he saw the man not far away.
Before Li Xin saw that man, he was squatting in the bushes, almost hiding himself, his eyes fixed on one place, and he didn't even notice Li Xin approaching for a while.
If the big mushroom that Li Xin wanted to pick wasn't a little close to him, he wouldn't have noticed the man at a glance.
After hearing Li Xin's exclamation, the man immediately turned his head. He seemed to be frightened and his expression was full of tension.
The moment he turned his head, the look he gave me was like a wild wolf ready to pounce, making people feel uneasy.
But after seeing clearly that there were only two women here, the man's eyes instantly relaxed and he was obviously relieved.
"Who are you?" Liu Xiang frowned, walked to Li Xin and looked at the man.
While questioning, he reached out and pulled Li Xin behind him.
Liu Xiang was very sure that this person was not a soldier in the army. He suddenly appeared in the mountains, and he looked so hidden, which looked really strange.
But Liu Xiang was not particularly panicked. After all, the troops were here, and she felt that she would not encounter anyone particularly dangerous.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous... You are from the family compound, right?" The man stood up and revealed their identities in one sentence.
But it's not surprising. This place is near the compound, and it's easy to associate these two women.
As the man stood up, I found that he was quite strong. Even with his clothes on, I could feel that he was a martial artist with a very solid body.
But why would this man appear on this mountain? He can't be a family member, and he doesn't look like a soldier.
"Don't be afraid, I came to the mountains to hunt. But you can't come any closer, it would be bad if I accidentally hurt you." The man saw the wariness in Liu Xiang's eyes, smiled and introduced himself.
"oh……"
Liu Xiang relaxed when he heard that he was a hunter.
There are indeed animals in the mountains, but hunters usually go deeper into the mountains, and there are only small animals like rabbits on the outskirts.
"We are from the staff housing complex and we came up here to pick mushrooms." Liu Xiang pointed to his backpack not far away and said to him.
Just now, when she suddenly heard Li Xin scream, she didn't even take the backpack and ran over directly.
There were also mushrooms in Li Xin's shoulder bag, which could be seen from the open opening.
"Then you two should go pick it up somewhere else. It's too dangerous to come near here." The man spoke to the two of them kindly.
Li Xin's eyes swept across the man's waist. There was a bulge there. Although it was hidden under his clothes, she recognized it at a glance.
There must be a pistol hidden in there!
Hunters would at most carry a hunting rifle, and it was impossible for them to get a pistol. The identity of the man in front of him must not be as simple as he said.
"Okay..." Liu Xiang was a kind person, and when she heard that he was doing it for their own good, she wanted to agree.
"But all the mushrooms on the outside have been picked, and there are still a lot here." Li Xin suddenly said, looking at the mushrooms on the ground.
