This time, she did not carry back basket by basket like before, but put the picked mushrooms together, which was more efficient.
Her movements were skillful and quick, as if she was racing against time to seize this rare opportunity to harvest.
Luo Jiaojiao carefully picked the last matsutake mushroom and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
She had been squatting to pick the fruits, her legs had long been numb and her tender white hands were covered with black mud, but this did not affect her happy mood at all, but instead highlighted the whiteness of her skin.
She stood up and suddenly heard some animal running towards her. The sound was getting closer and the noise was quite loud.
Leng Mohan and Mu Bai naturally also noticed this situation. They looked at each other, their hearts tightened, and they hurriedly ran towards Luo Jiaojiao.
Leng Mohan quickly protected Luo Jiaojiao behind him, his eyes full of determination and protection. Luo Jiaojiao tightly grasped Leng Mohan's clothes, her body trembling slightly, obviously very scared.
Leng Mohan held the machete tightly, ready to deal with possible danger. When the beast rushed in front of them, Leng Mohan realized that it was his wolf brother Xiao Hui.
The tension in his heart eased a little, but at the same time he also felt a little confused. He clearly didn't call it, so how could it suddenly appear?
When Mu Bai saw Xiao Hui, he heaved a sigh of relief and sat down directly. The tension just now made his heart beat rapidly, and now he could finally relax a little.
The appearance of Xiao Hui instantly eased the tense atmosphere. It rubbed against Leng Mohan affectionately, as if telling him something.
Leng Mohan gently stroked Xiao Hui's head, his eyes showing trust and love for it. Luo Jiaojiao watched this scene, and the fear in her heart gradually dissipated. She felt the special emotional bond between Leng Mohan and Xiao Hui.
Mu Bai widened his eyes and looked in horror at the gray wolf in front of him that was half his height. His body involuntarily shrank behind Leng Mohan.
If Leng Mohan hadn't been there, he would have probably been scared to death.
He looked at Leng Mohan with a puzzled look on his face, and asked in a trembling voice: "Didn't you call it out? Why did it run out?"
Leng Mohan also frowned and shook his head. He was also puzzled by the sudden appearance of the gray wolf.
Luo Jiaojiao hid behind Leng Mohan and carefully poked her head out. When she saw Xiao Hui, she was full of doubts. Was it a dog or a wolf? There was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Do you know this wolf or dog?" Luo Jiaojiao looked at them with a hint of confusion and surprise in her tone.
Leng Mohan gently pulled Luo Jiaojiao in front of him, looked at her worriedly, and said softly: "This is a wolf, its name is Xiao Hui, and he is my brother." There was a hint of worry in his eyes, wondering if Luo Jiaojiao would feel afraid and disgusted because Xiao Hui was a wolf.
When Luo Jiaojiao heard Leng Mohan's introduction, her eyes widened and she looked at him in surprise. She said in disbelief, "Brother Wolf? Brother Leng, you are so awesome! You can actually be brothers with wolves."
Leng Mohan didn't see any disdain or disgust in her eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He was originally worried that Luo Jiaojiao would be afraid of Xiao Hui, but he didn't expect that she actually admired him so much.
Luo Jiaojiao's eyes were shining with anticipation. She curled her fingers slightly and looked at Leng Mohan cautiously, asking softly, "Can I touch it?" Her eyes revealed her love for Xiao Hui, as if she could already imagine the furry touch.
