Yun Qiao didn't refuse again: "Okay, I'll go out with you in the evening."
Qin Guifen became happy: "Xiao, then I will come to see you at five in the afternoon."
"Okay." Yun Qiao agreed.
In the evening, around five o'clock, Qin Guifen arrived on time.
She was carrying a backpack and had Yang Xiaohong by her side.
Yang Xiaohong greeted Yun Qiao politely: "Aunt Yun Qiao, good afternoon."
"Good afternoon, Xiaohong." Yun Qiao greeted Yang Xiaohong with a smile and couldn't help but touch her head with pigtails.
Qin Guifen took good care of her. She had a chubby face and although her skin was still not fair, she had a healthy complexion from the inside out. She was completely different from the malnourished girl she looked when she first came.
Yun Qiao looked behind them and didn't see Qin Zhenzhen, so he asked, "Why didn't Zhenzhen come?"
Qin Guifen said helplessly, "Zhenzhen went to Sister Fan's house to read Xiaonian's comic strips. The child was so enchanted by the comic strips that she wanted to stare into the pictures. No matter how much I called her, she wouldn't come back."
"Forget it if we can't call them. The three of us will go."
Yun Qiao didn't have a backpack, only a small shovel. She didn't cook, and she didn't need the wild vegetables she dug herself; she was just helping Qin Guifen.
Although Yang Xiaohong is young, she grew up in the countryside and started working when she was two or three years old. She is quite good at digging wild vegetables.
The mountains in spring are covered with lush greenery, and standing among them is like being in a sea of green. A warm breeze blows on your face, making you feel relaxed and happy.
In such a scene, it was broad daylight, and the three of them were company, digging and chatting, and they didn't feel scared.
Yun Qiao also unexpectedly saw a few herbs on the mountain. They were of good quality, with emerald green leaves, thick roots and stems, and exuded a fresh herbal fragrance.
Yun Qiao was delighted to see the prey and couldn't help digging up a few plants. He then searched deeper into the hill.
After climbing over the highest mountain top, Yun Qiao still wanted to go towards Shuanglin Cave.
At this time, Qin Guifen called out to her, "Yun Qiao, don't go any further. The sun is setting soon. We should go, otherwise we won't be able to get down the mountain before dark."
Qin Guifen's voice echoed on the top of the mountain, startling two or three flying birds.
Yun Qiao stopped and noticed that the sun was about to set.
"Okay, that's it."
Yun Qiao responded and was about to walk away when she suddenly saw an elm tree not far away. Under the tree, a short-haired woman was using a sickle to pick elm seeds with her back to her.
"Sister Guifen, I saw an elm seed tree up ahead!" Yun Qiao's face showed a look of surprise. He turned around and asked Qin Guifen, "Sister Guifen, do you like eating elm seeds? If you do, you can come back tomorrow to pick some."
"I love it! I love it. Elm seed steamed bread with chili sauce, I wouldn't trade it for meat! When I was back home, I would steam several pots of it." So Qin Guifen didn't go any further, but climbed to the top of the mountain, holding on to her legs, and asked, "Yun Qiao, where is the elm seed tree?"
When the female comrade who was picking elm seeds heard Yun Qiao's name, her body suddenly stiffened.
Yun Qiao was completely unaware. He stretched out his hand and pointed forward, saying to Qin Guifen, "Look, it's right there."
"There's a woman under the tree picking elm seeds."
As soon as Yun Qiao finished speaking, the female comrade with the hooked elm seeds suddenly ran away.
She ran very fast without even looking back, as if something was chasing her.
Qin Guifen was stunned: "Huh? No. Why did she run away? We are not bad people."
