Chapter 58

After a warm night's sleep, Qiao Sheng got up and washed up. Qiao Sheng went to make breakfast while Li Mu went to pack the things he needed for going out. He also fed and watered the animals on the first floor.

Breakfast was brown rice porridge with mixed mustard greens and a few boiled corns. After eating, Qiao Sheng started to pack food for lunch. After standing in the kitchen and thinking for a long time, she asked Li Mu to make a small iron pot that could be hung. After

the pot was ready, she took it over and brushed it. She put half a block of hot pot base in it, stuffed it with meat and vegetables, and brought a few roasted sweet potatoes. If she was hungry at noon, she could cook a pot outside and heat up the sweet potatoes.

After preparing all these, the two of them got off the boat and prepared to go to the island and enter the forest. Lin Haiyang, who was on the boat next to them, also got out at the same time. The two of them were stunned for a moment when they met.

This time it was daytime, and Qiao Sheng could clearly see Lin Haiyang's eyes. Lin Haiyang's eyes were fixed on Li Mu, frowning and looking puzzled. It was Li Mu who broke the awkwardness and told Lin Haiyang which way they were going to enter the forest. Lin Haiyang also hurriedly said that he would go from the other side. They were all very conscious.

After entering the forest, Qiao Sheng and Li Mu were in a running mode. They wandered around in the forest for a long time yesterday and found nothing. Today, they actually found a bamboo forest. After walking in, Qiao Sheng didn't care about the cool breeze anymore. She started to talk to Li Mu about digging bamboo shoots. She was really tired of digging bamboo shoots in the fall, and this time, she could finally show her skills with winter bamboo shoots.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu got the hang of it much faster than her. She didn't even tell him how to identify them, but he found them accurately. He was not slow to dig with the machete, and the most important thing was that he didn't break them. After Qiao Sheng dug a few winter bamboo shoots, she immediately decided to cut bamboo by herself and let Li Mu dig the bamboo shoots by himself.

The two of them worked together and were very efficient. They cooked hot pot in the bamboo forest at noon. Halfway through the meal, they heard footsteps. They put down their chopsticks and picked up their machetes to be on guard. When

they got closer, they saw that it was Lin Haiyang. The young man was also stunned when he saw them, and murmured that he saw the bamboo and wanted to come over to cut some bamboo.

"Cut it. By the way, you can also dig some bamboo shoots. They are delicious when stir-fried. It's also delicious to add some when making soup." When Qiao Sheng saw that it was him, he put down the machete and continued to eat. Of course, his eyes were always on him, and he was still on guard.

Lin Haiyang looked at the hot pot on the fire, sniffed, and walked to a farther place. He ate a few bites of the frozen and hard roasted sweet potatoes. He choked and used cold water to relieve the choking.

While eating, Qiao Sheng's eyes swept over the poor man. He lowered his head and asked Li Mu if he should send some hot water over. The boy was choking on the sweet potato.

Lin Haiyang was sitting right behind Li Mu. When he heard her say that, he turned his head and saw the boy pounding his chest and eating a sweet potato.

He put down his bowl and chopsticks, took a bottle of warm water from the ground near the fire, and took a hot roasted sweet potato from the fire, then stood up and sent it over.

The distance was a bit far, Qiao Sheng couldn't hear what the two said. When Li Mu came over, Lin Haiyang didn't refuse, he stood up and took the things. She didn't know what Li Mu said, but the boy nodded seriously, and then followed Li Mu back. This change really confused her. He

had brought the rabbit to show goodwill last night, and wanted to live in peace. Although his eyes were not right when they met this morning, he still chose to go a different way. According to common sense, when Li Mu went over to give food and water, he should have refused, fearing that they would harm him. How could he accept it so easily, and even follow him.

Sitting by the fire, Li Mu went to chop a piece of bamboo, made a pair of chopsticks and a bamboo cup. Unexpectedly, someone would come to join them, and when they came out, they brought two bowls.

Lin Haiyang was no longer reserved, and was in a good mood. After the meal, the three of them continued to chop bamboo and dig bamboo shoots. The young man surrounded Qiao Sheng to help. She couldn't do it at all, so why was he so attentive?

In the end, Qiao Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, and told him to either help Li Mu dig bamboo shoots, or do his own thing, and stop messing around with her.

"Teacher's wife, I actually just wanted you to say a few good words. I'm just afraid that I'll play the game for too long, and I'll fail Teacher Li's class when I go back." Lin Haiyang hesitated and said in a low voice cautiously.

If rolling eyes wasn't unsightly, Qiao Sheng would have done twenty times in a row, and Lin Haiyang was probably stupid.

"Did your brain go to school? You've been in the game for a long time, wasn't your teacher Li in there too? He didn't even go to class, how could he fail you? Are you stupid? And I'm not your teacher's wife, don't yell, go dig bamboo shoots with your teacher Li right now, don't stop me from cutting bamboo! It's too much trouble." Qiao Sheng pointed at Li Mu and told Lin Haiyang to leave immediately, she was afraid that stupidity would be contagious. It turned

out that this kid was Li Mu's student, no wonder he looked weird this morning.

Lin Haiyang was aggrieved, looking back every few steps. When he came to Li Mu, he was like being suppressed by blood. He dared not say a word, did not stop working, and even dared not take the bamboo shoots he dug, pushing them to the teacher.

Finally, Li Mu couldn't stand it anymore and told him to be honest and do what he should do. Don't compete with a young wife. Just take what you dug. You all worked hard. This is a game. Even in school, he, as a teacher, can't enslave students like this.

The three of them were busy in the bamboo forest for the whole afternoon. Li Mu and Lin Haiyang were very good at finding

and digging bamboo shoots. Qiao Sheng didn't care about the size of the bamboo this time, because Li Mu could use it anyway. One good thing about cutting bamboo in the game is that you don't have to consider the ecological balance. There is a chance of bamboo rice dropping when cutting bamboo. After asking Li Mu, I learned that this is the seed of bamboo. Normally, it can only be obtained when bamboo blooms. Bamboo blooming means death. Bamboo rice falling on the ground will grow new bamboo. In this game, there is no such thing. There is a chance of seeds dropping when cutting bamboo.

Qiao Sheng didn't hold back when cutting bamboo. After getting the bamboo rice, he left some to regenerate on the boat, and dug a pit to bury the rest. Although he didn't know the refresh mechanism of the game, he still tried to leave a way for later people to survive.

Seeing the sun setting, the three of them called it a day and headed back. On the way, Lin Haiyang showed off his skills and caught three rabbits. He also dug rabbit nests. No one knew how he did it, but he always found the right ones.

Back on the boat, Qiao Sheng and Li Mu invited Lin Haiyang to come over for dinner, mainly to talk about his experience since he entered the game. The young man didn't waste time, and followed him on the boat with the three rabbits. He

was tied up after entering the first deck, which was scary enough. Seeing so many animals, Lin Haiyang walked over to take a look. The little rabbits he looked at first were all very quiet, but when they approached the duck nest, they suddenly jumped up when they were tied up, and they jumped up and pinched his legs. If he hadn't been wearing thick cotton pants, his legs would definitely have been purple.

Lin Haiyang pushed it vigorously, but it refused to let go, pinching his cotton pants and poking him with its mouth. Qiao Sheng came over and grabbed the neck of the boy, scolding him that he was a guest and if he made trouble again, he would be turned into a beer duck to entertain the guests. Only then did it let go of its mouth and retreated to the duck nest to show Qiao Sheng the newly laid eggs.

Li Mu had always been responsible for identifying the eggs. Qiao Sheng picked them out and gave them to him, asking him to divide them up, put the edible ones in the kitchen, and put the eggs back in the nest.

Seeing that Lin Haiyang was curious about the cassock kid, he took him out and put him in his arms. He also took two apples and let him eat one and fed one to the cassock kid. They wanted to improve their relationship before they could play together. Now the cassock kid was obviously rejecting him.

After saying something to Li Mu, Qiao Sheng went upstairs to the kitchen. It was unclear what Lin Haiyang and Li Mu talked about downstairs, and Qiao Sheng was still very busy upstairs.

A guest came, and this guest was Li Mu's student, so the food couldn't be casual. First, he stewed a clay pot of brown rice, fried lettuce with oyster sauce, spicy potato shreds, pickled cabbage and pork vermicelli, and cut some of the winter bamboo shoots he brought back today, and made a dish of bamboo shoots fried with bacon, four hot dishes, two cold dishes, brown sugar mixed tomatoes, cold mixed mustard greens, and a clay pot of fish soup.

When the four hot dishes came out of the pot, Li Mu and his friends came up to help. He made the two cold dishes. Lin Haiyang wanted to help, but there was really no room for so many people in the kitchen, so he sat on the sofa with the monk cub in his arms and fed it apples little by little.

After the meal was ready, the three of them brought the food into the warm room. The fire on the stove was still burning, and the kang had already been warmed up. After a while, the three of them took off their outer cotton clothes, and brought the cassock cub in. It had never been in the warm room before, let alone stayed on the kang.

Suddenly it was in such a warm place, and with the aroma of food, it was a little out of control, rolling back and forth on the kang.

Qiao Sheng pressed it against the wall, asking it to be quiet, and if it moved again, he would send it back to its nest downstairs. The little guy blinked his eyes and huddled in the corner without moving.

"Master's wife, you are so amazing. How can this black bear be so obedient!" Lin Haiyang exclaimed at the monk in the corner.

"Shut up, don't shout nonsense, call me Sister Qiao, if you shout nonsense, you will be punished with it!" Qiao Sheng's eyes moved from the monk to Lin Haiyang, his expression was very serious, which scared Lin Haiyang, and he changed his mouth to call Sister Qiao.

"Come and eat, be honest, don't make your Sister Qiao unhappy. She is always a worry in school, and she is still a worry when she enters the game." Li Mu smiled and tried to smooth things over.

The three of them picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started to eat dinner.
