As soon as the group of people carrying baskets stepped out of the courtyard, they saw a horse-drawn carriage slowly approaching Gu Lili's house.
Gu Lili recognized it as Lin Xiyao's carriage.
This girl must have been feeling really stifled these past few days. She was busy harvesting wheat and planting rice the other day and didn't have time to talk to her.
It rained yesterday, so she couldn't go out at all.
I couldn't wait to get here today.
Gu Lili waited at the door for a while before Lin Xiyao's carriage arrived at her house.
Before the carriage had even come to a complete stop, Lin Xiyao poked her head out.
"Lili, I've been so bored these past few days, I miss you so much! Let's go crab catching again today!" Lin Xiyao called out to Gu Lili with a smile.
As soon as the coachman brought the carriage to a stop, Lin Xiyao jumped down and walked to Gu Lili.
"Can we go to the beach, Lili?"
Seeing her playful expression, Gu Lili suppressed a laugh and said, "I'm not going to the beach today!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyao immediately pouted.
She had to beg her father for a long time before he finally agreed to let her come and play with Gu Lili.
Lord Lin and Lin Xiyao had already moved into the newly built courtyard. Her place was even closer to the sea than Gu Lili's house.
However, she felt that going out alone was always boring.
That's why he thought of inviting Gu Lili to her house, but he didn't expect that Gu Lili was not available.
Seeing Gu Lili carrying a basket on her back, she must be going to work in the fields.
"Are you going to the fields? I'll go with you!" Lin Xiyao said coquettishly, clinging to Gu Lili's arm.
In short, she said she absolutely didn't want to play by herself.
Gu Lili covered her mouth and laughed, "I'm not going to the fields either, come on! I'll take you up the mountain to play today!"
Upon hearing that they were going up the mountain, Lin Xiyao was so excited she almost jumped for joy.
She had wanted to go up the mountain for a long time, but her father said it was dangerous and she didn't know the terrain, so he wouldn't let her go.
If I go with Gu Lili today, Father definitely won't say anything.
Moreover, she brought her guards with her today.
"Let's go, Lili, let's go now!" Lin Xiyao said impatiently.
Gu Lili thought for a moment, then returned home and took Xiao Li'er and Da Lao Hei with her.
There are many snakes, insects, and rodents on the mountain, so it would be safer to have them go up and chase them away.
Lin Xiyao also returned to the carriage and carried her bow and arrows on her back.
She had prepared this long ago, intending to use it when she went up the mountain, but Lord Lin had been unwilling to budge. Today, she finally had a chance to put it to use.
So the group of seven, along with a dog and a tiger, headed up the mountain.
Because it rained yesterday, the road leading up the mountain was a bit muddy.
Their shoes, socks, and trouser legs quickly got dirty, but that didn't dampen their enthusiasm.
After more than half an hour, the group reached the mountainside.
"Lili, are we going hunting?" Lin Xiyao asked belatedly.
If it was supposed to be hunting, then there's no sign of Gu Lili and the others carrying any hunting tools.
Did they set a trap on the mountain?
Gu Lili picked up the things on the ground, handed them to Lin Xiyao, and said with a smile, "No, we're going up the mountain to see mushrooms today!"
Lin Xiyao looked down and saw that Gu Lili had handed her a green mushroom.
"Can this be eaten?" Lin Xiyao asked.
Lin Xiyao was somewhat incredulous; she seemed to have heard that mushrooms were poisonous, causing hallucinations and even death.
Gu Lili nodded and said, "It's edible, and it's very delicious!"
These green mushrooms are actually green-headed mushrooms.
It tastes excellent. Although it is a type of mushroom like the termite mushroom, the green-headed mushroom has a different taste and texture.
Hearing Gu Lili's certainty, Lin Xiyao no longer had any doubts and joined the others in searching carefully.
"Girl, take a look, is this edible?" Gu Chenxi asked Gu Lili, holding a mushroom in her hand.
Gu Lili quickly walked over and took the mushrooms from Gu Chenxi's hand.
This is a black porcini mushroom.
"This is edible, but it can be poisonous if not cooked properly," Gu Lili said to Gu Chenxi, listening to the system's mechanical voice.
There are many mushrooms on this mountain, some of which Gu Lili doesn't even recognize.
However, with the system's assistance, Gu Lili doesn't need to distinguish whether it's edible or not; she can tell just by looking.
Gu Chenxi nodded and continued searching with her head down.
Gu Lili suddenly remembered that she had heard before that some people could use a dog's nose to find mushrooms, and they would find them every time.
However, those dogs were all professionally trained.
I don't know if their big black dog is up to the task.
Thinking this, Gu Lili took out the black bovine bacteria and green-headed bacteria from the basket again.
"Big Blackie, come quick!" Gu Lili called out to Big Blackie, who was wandering around aimlessly not far away.
Hearing Gu Lili's voice, Little Fox followed Big Black over.
Gu Lili held the two mushrooms in her hand and placed them in front of Big Black's nose so that it could smell them.
"Come on, smell this mushroom. We'll go look for some mushrooms later," Gu Lili said, patting Da Lao Hei's head.
Looking into those clear eyes, Gu Lili wondered if they could understand her.
When Little Fox saw Gu Lili patting Big Black's head, she whimpered and pushed Big Black aside, stretching her own head out so that Gu Lili could pat it too.
Big Black was pushed aside and didn't dare to make a sound. He turned around and disappeared into the bushes.
Gu Lili helplessly patted the little fox's head. Who knew that the little fox would imitate the big black dog, sniff the mushrooms in Gu Lili's hand, and then turn its head and burrow into the grass.
Gu Lili didn't take it to heart; she was just trying it out anyway.
Let them go wild.
Anyway, this isn't some remote mountain area, so nothing unexpected should happen.
Gu Lili had just gotten up when she heard Big Black barking in the bushes not far away, as if it had discovered something.
Gu Lili's face lit up with joy, and she quickly walked towards the direction of Big Black.
I had barely taken a step when I heard Little Fox humming and chirping from the opposite direction.
Gu Lili looked around and noticed that Gu Chenxi seemed to be closer to Big Black.
"Chenxi, go check on what's wrong with Big Black." Gu Lili called out to Gu Chenxi.
Gu Chenxi glanced at the location of Big Black and nodded to Gu Lili.
"Girl, I'll go right now!"
Watching Gu Chenxi walk towards Big Black, Gu Lili also followed the sound of Little Fox's whimpers.
Just a step away from Little Fox, Gu Lili noticed a black bovine bacteria in front of Little Fox.
Gu Lili's eyes were filled with obvious surprise.
The little fox seemed to be looking at Gu Lili with a smug expression, waiting for Gu Lili to praise it.
"Little Fox! You're really amazing! I never knew you had this skill!" Gu Lili praised without reservation.
As she spoke, Gu Lili patted Xiao Li'er's head.
