Chapter 8: The Young Daughter-in-law of the Yang Family
In the end, Yang Daya was no match for Lin Wanwan, and they both went out carrying a backpack.
On the way to the back mountain, Lin Wanwan looked at the figure in front from time to time.
The large backpack almost covered Yang Daya's entire body, leaving only half of her calf and her moving steps visible.
This time she didn't plan to go to pick grass for pigs to earn work points. After finally having a meal of meat today, Yang Daya also wanted to give herself a day off.
So, he took Lin Wanwan to the woods to look for mushrooms.
The forest behind Yangjia Village grows on a gentle slope.
Further in, there are rolling hills and forests. There are no steep mountains here, but they are still rolling and form a unique area.
Because there are many hunters living in the mountains and forests, Yang Daya is not afraid of encountering large wild beasts.
The most dangerous animal seen in this nearby mountain is the adult wild boar.
Also, be careful not to get bitten by poisonous snakes. There are no more ferocious animals.
"Aunt San, please follow me closely!"
"Let's go look for mushrooms a little further ahead. This area is usually crowded with people picking grass for pigs, so there's a high chance there won't be any mushrooms."
Yang Daya led the way forward and reminded Lin Wanwan to pay attention to her steps.
Although it was the first day the two of them were together, they got along very well because of their revolutionary friendship of hunting wild boars.
"Da Ya, Daya! Look over there, are there any mushrooms?"
As the two walked, Lin Wanwan's eyes never left the surrounding scenery.
So while Yang Daya was still concentrating on leading the way, she had already found the first big mushroom they encountered on this trip.
"Look, there's a mushroom here, it's really big."
Lin Wanwan walked past Yang Daya and soon came to the side of the mushroom.
How big is this mushroom?
Lin Wanwan stretched out her hands to cover it, but almost failed to cover it.
Having lived on the wasteland of Saturn for 18 years, she doesn't need any equipment to test. She can tell whether the food is contaminated and whether it is edible just by using her eyes and nose.
This is also a skill she developed on the wasteland.
On the contrary, Yang Daya was a little uncertain. Such a big mushroom must have grown for quite some time, but it was still growing well and not picked. Maybe it was poisonous and could not be eaten.
"Aunt San, these mushrooms have grown so big and no one is picking them. Are they poisonous?"
I thought so in my mind and asked it.
"Don't worry, Daya! This mushroom is called giant mushroom and it's non-toxic."
"And this isn't even its largest form. If it continues to grow, it could probably double in size."
"It won't taste good then, and it might not be cooked or chewed well!"
Lin Wanwan had seen this kind of big-mouthed mushroom before, but on the wasteland, most of these mushrooms had been irradiated.
Only the small mushrooms growing under the big mushrooms may be edible because they are protected from the sun and rain.
But she was sure that the big mushroom in front of her was edible.
"Da Ya, come and help us. Let's pick this giant mushroom and bring it back. I think it will be enough for us to eat tonight!"
Seeing the food, Lin Wanwan couldn't move at all.
While digging the roots with a shovel, she called on Yang Daya for help.
Seeing Lin Wanwan's determined expression, Yang Daya also believed it a little.
At worst, I can let grandma take a look at it at night. If it’s not edible, I can just throw it away.
With such a big mushroom beginning, Lin Wanwan's anxious mood was relieved.
The two continued walking into the woods, and this time they didn't encounter any mushrooms bigger than washbasins.
However, there were many common mushrooms, and the two picked them as they walked.
"Daya, there are so many mushrooms here, why don't the villagers come to pick them?"
Lin Wanwan asked puzzledly while putting mushrooms into the backpack.
"It's not that there were no days off in the village these past two days, everyone was busy working in the fields, and it rained the night before yesterday, so a lot of mushrooms grew."
"According to custom, when the big market comes, the village should give the villagers a day off."
Although it was an era of collective farming, it was impossible for the village to let the villagers work all the time.
There are always fixed rest days for villagers to go to the market to buy things.
Only on the day of the big market does the town allow ordinary people to set up stalls with their own goods.
Although the event is under the banner of barter, everyone knows that this is the only day when business can be carried out openly.
Of course, you can only exchange it with agricultural products from your home. If industrial products appear, you will be arrested.
"So, will the villagers come to the mountain to pick mushrooms on the day of rest and pick up all the mushrooms that have popped up?"
Lin Wanwan roughly understood what Yang Daya meant, but what was going to the market?
There is no market on the wasteland planet, but there is barter.
[Host, stop overthinking it. Going to the market is just like bartering in your place.]
[It's just that you have to keep it absolutely confidential when exchanging things, but people here are a bit more relaxed.]
[As long as you do it in a fixed location and in accordance with national regulations, you won't be caught.]
3628 had been observing Lin Wanwan's every move. Seeing that she was confused after hearing Yang Daya's words, he immediately answered her in his mind.
[I see. I really want to go to the market!]
[I came here with nothing. What should I do if I find something I want at the market?]
When Lin Wanwan thought about so many people exchanging supplies together, she felt itchy and wanted to go and see it for herself.
But she was also worried that she would become greedy when she saw good things. Although she had food in her stomach now and would not steal other people's things like she did when she first arrived, she could not guarantee that she would be sad because of envy.
[Host, you can dig more mushrooms and take them to trade at the market.]
Seeing that Lin Wanwan had fallen into a dead end again, 3628 immediately gave her a hint.
Its host is so cute and silly, with a confused personality that it is hard to hate him.
Although part of this is because the fusion of soul and body is not perfect.
But this cannot be blamed on Lin Wanwan. After all, the only thing she can do on the wasteland planet is to survive.
Many types of education that are available in a peaceful world are not available in that world.
Everyone has to work hard to find food in order to survive.
The reason why Lin Wanwan was able to understand the language and recognize the characters here seamlessly was because of the abilities 3628 gave her during the transmission process.
After all, it is a teleportation from one world to another. If the language and text are not converted, Lin Wanwan's life will fall into hardship.
[System, what you said makes sense. You mentioned it before, saying you wanted to bind me and take me to various worlds to complete quests.]
[I haven't had the chance to ask you, what is my mission in this world? ]
