But there are a lot of people picking mushrooms.
But it is not what people in later generations thought, that there are wood ear mushrooms everywhere in the mountains and fields, but no one picks them because people don’t know how to eat them or how to sell them.
This perception is very wrong.
In this day and age, who wouldn’t take home anything edible?
Besides, Longpan Mountain is not only home to the village on the mountain, but also to other villages and communes.
So when the weather was fine, a lot of people went into the mountains.
Along the way, they only picked some straw mushrooms, not a lot, and they were the ones that others didn't want. This won't do. Shen Mingxi stood on a high slope and looked around. Once they entered the mountain, there was no east, south, west, or north. Everywhere was the same.
Shen Mingxi listened attentively.
You know what, there are people all around going into the mountains to pick mushrooms.
After thinking for a while, Shen Mingxi stopped hesitating and looked in the direction ahead. "Brother, let's not waste time here. Follow me and move forward."
"Xiaoxi, do you know where it is?" Shen Qingshan asked curiously.
"I don't know. Just keep going and try your luck."
Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan had no objection to their sister's words. Anyway, that's it, so let's just move forward and try our luck.
Otherwise, you'll spend the whole day here picking things that others don't want.
So the three siblings walked quickly towards the front.
Along the way, I met people here and there.
But when you go over a hill, there are fewer people here.
By this time the sun had risen directly overhead.
Apart from the discomfort in my feet, the wet clothes and pants on my body had long been dried by the sun.
At this time, we were already far away from Kaoshantun.
However, the three brothers and sisters didn't care. They grew up in the mountains and naturally remembered the way back.
Shen Mingxi walked in front.
There was a forest in front of them. It was very dense and there was no path. There were fallen leaves underfoot.
Occasionally you can hear a squeaking sound, which should be some animals in the mountains.
The large animals have long disappeared from this mountain.
There were only some hares, squirrels and the like left, and they ran away early when they heard the noise.
Logically, they should bypass the dense forest and go to another place.
However, there was a voice in Shen Mingxi's heart, which seemed to remind her to go through this dense forest...
Shen Mingxi bent down and entered the dense forest without any hesitation.
Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan saw that Shen Mingxi had already entered the dense forest, and they did not hesitate and quickly caught up with him. Shen Qingshan even walked in front to clear the way for Shen Mingxi. After all, there were thorns in this dense forest, and it would be very uncomfortable to get pricked by them.
System 009 stayed in its own little corner, looking at the forest through a secret window. However, it was too far away and could not see anything. It wanted to scan Shen Mingxi, but was worried about being discovered by Shen Mingxi.
I had to suppress my strong curiosity, but I was thinking in my heart, what on earth will this gift package bring to Shen Mingxi?
At this time, the three brothers and sisters walked for more than ten minutes before they got out of the dense forest.
Then Shen Qingshan shouted in shock, "Look!"
Shen Mingxi and Shen Jiawen came out later and looked forward in the direction of Shen Qingshan's finger. They were also stunned involuntarily.
In a large area of sparse forest just ahead, the ground was full of newly grown thunder holes.
In clumps and clusters.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would have thought it was artificially grown.
They had encountered a giant mushroom circle! The three siblings had no time to express their joy and hurriedly put down the wicker basket on their backs.
He even poured out the mushrooms he had picked along the way from the wicker basket. How could these mushrooms compare to the ones in front of him? He threw them all away to avoid them taking up space.
Shen Qingshan was still looking around vigilantly.
This forest is really quiet, not even a human voice can be heard.
The three siblings felt relieved.
Squatting at the edge of the mushroom circle, he began picking them.
It is said that picking mushrooms is addictive, especially when you come across a mushroom circle, all you see are the mushrooms and nothing else, you don’t even know if you are thirsty or hungry.
This is the case with the three siblings in front of us.
In a few hours, the three wicker baskets were full.
It was already afternoon, around two o'clock.
Look at the mushrooms in front of me, half of them are still not picked.
But I can’t pick them anymore because there is no place to put them.
The three siblings sat under the shade of the tree with smiles on their faces. Chen Li had cooked yesterday and there were a few cornmeal cakes left. In the morning, Shen Mingxi put the five cornmeal cakes into the wicker basket no matter how Old Lady Shen scolded him.
I also washed three cucumbers and filled a kettle with water.
At this time, the three brothers and sisters were eating happily.
Shen Qingshan said with some regret, "Alas, it would be better if there were three more big baskets."
"Then we can't take it back." Shen Mingxian said with a smile, "We'll come again tomorrow."
Shen Jiawen looked at his sister and asked in surprise, "Can you find this place? We were wandering around when we entered the mountain."
Even if you remember the route when you go back, you may not take the same route when you go into the mountains the next day.
This kind of thing has happened before.
Shen Mingxi said confidently, "Don't worry, as long as no one comes here to pick the fruits for a while, they will still be ours tomorrow. I've memorized the way."
But she was thinking about something else, "Brother, do you think we can keep these three baskets of mushrooms if we take them back?"
"We have to keep him even if we can't." There was a hint of coldness on Shen Jiawen's lips. The eighteen-year-old boy experienced his father's life and death struggle, and then he seemed to have grown up overnight.
"If we don't even have this ability and we still want to collect all these things, then it doesn't make sense to divide this family."
Besides, where were these three baskets of thunder nests hidden? Although they were very clean when they picked them, no matter how clean they were, they would have to process them again when they got back.
Shen Qingshan also spoke up and patted his sister on the shoulder, "Xiaoxi, don't worry, we have big brother and second brother here."
Shen Mingxi smiled sweetly, gave a thumbs up, and praised, "Big brother and second brother are the best!"
The three siblings smiled at each other.
They didn't have watches, but they were used to looking at the weather. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, so they should go home.
When I came here, I was full of expectations, and when I left, I was full of gains.
Although I was extremely tired, my mental state was very good, so my steps seemed much lighter.
However, Shen Mingxi was still a little worried. As he walked, he said, "Tomorrow the three of us have to go out again. Can we really keep these mushrooms at home?"
