Chapter 57 The Fishy Smell on the Mountain



Lin Cuiying patted the two little girls' heads. "You two are so good. But there's no rush to pick wild vegetables. If you get sick from the cold, you won't be able to pick wild vegetables anymore."

Upon hearing this, the two girls hesitated.

Although they are young, they know what is important.

Lin Tiandong, who was standing nearby, spoke up, "Sister, don't worry, they're just not dressed warmly enough. As long as they keep moving, they won't be cold."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yuelan and Lin Yueju, "You two get moving, jumping around will keep you warm."

Upon hearing Lin Tiandong's words, Lin Yuelan and Lin Yueju immediately sprang into action, jumping around while rubbing their arms.

Sure enough, I stopped feeling cold after a short while.

Looking at the two little girls, Lin Cuiying felt a pang of regret.

She really shouldn't have let the two of them come along.

Lin Tiandong saw through Lin Cuiying's thoughts and comforted her, "Sister, don't worry, I'm here. I'll take good care of them."

Now the two little girls definitely don't want to go back, so they have no choice but to come along.

"Aren't you two cold?"

Lin Yuelan and Lin Yueju shook their heads at the same time, "We're not cold, Mother, we're really not cold anymore."

Lin Cuiying didn't say anything more, and instead took the two little girls to look for wild vegetables nearby.

Then, the silly bubble voice appeared again: "Host, what treasures are you planning to dig up on the mountain today?"

Lin Cuiying's lips twitched. Treasure, my foot! What kind of treasure could she possibly find?

"What we dig up depends on luck," Lin Cuiying thought to herself.

"Host, why don't you open the map?"

Lin Cuiying didn't want to cheat; she wanted to see if Lin Tiandong could find the medicinal herbs on his own merit!

While searching for wild vegetables nearby, Lin Cuiying kept an eye on Lin Tiandong's movements.

Lin Tiandong was seen digging through the grass with a hoe, occasionally squatting down to observe.

Seeing his serious expression, Lin Cuiying couldn't help but laugh.

This guy, does he really think he's something?

Lin Yuelan and Lin Yueju followed Lin Tiandong's example and searched around the neighborhood, but instead of herbs, they were looking for wild grass.

Although the two girls are young, they are very efficient at their work.

In no time, they had picked quite a few wild vegetables.

Lin Cuiying looked at the two of them and praised them, "You two are really amazing, you picked so many wild vegetables."

Hearing Lin Cuiying's praise, Lin Yuelan and Lin Yueju smiled brightly. "Mother, we want to pick even more wild vegetables!"

Lin Cuiying smiled and nodded, "Okay, you two keep it up."

Just then, Lin Tiandong suddenly shouted, "Sister, come quick! I think I've found some herbs!"

Lin Cuiying was taken aback when she heard Lin Tiandong's words.

Could this guy have actually found some medicinal herbs?

Lin Cuiying walked over to Lin Tiandong and saw him holding a blade of grass, examining it closely.

"Tian Dong, are these the herbs you dug up?"

Lin Cuiying was speechless; she had thought Lin Tiandong had actually dug it up.

Lin Tiandong said with a serious expression, "Sister, this is definitely a herb, but I can't be sure what kind of herb it is yet."

Lin Cuiying rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Then take your time to decide."

With that, she turned to leave.

"Sister, wait for me!" Lin Tiandong called out quickly.

Lin Cuiying stopped and looked at Lin Tiandong with a puzzled expression. "Is there anything else?"

Lin Tiandong said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sister, could you teach me to identify medicinal herbs?"

Lin Cuiying was stunned for a moment before she remembered that although Lin Tiandong knew some herbs, they were all common ones that couldn't be sold for much money.

“Okay, I can teach you to identify herbs.” Lin Cuiying nodded.

Lin Tiandong's face lit up with joy. "Really? That's wonderful!"

Lin Cuiying led Lin Tiandong to the side and began to teach him to identify herbs.

The two little ones, Lin Yuelan and Lin Yueju, also came over to listen; they were also very interested in herbs.

When Lin Cuiying saw that the two little ones had come over, she let them learn together.

Lin Cuiying wanted to teach them to recognize herbs, so she started searching for them nearby.

Not long after, she found a herb in the grass.

"Tian Dong, come and take a look, what kind of herbs are these?" Lin Cuiying called out.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tiandong immediately came over.

He examined the herb carefully, then said with certainty, "Sister, this is Cornus officinalis!"

Lin Cuiying was stunned for a moment; she hadn't expected Lin Tiandong to actually know about dogwood.

"Sister, am I right?" Lin Tiandong asked.

Lin Cuiying nodded. "That's right, this is Cornus officinalis."

Lin Tiandong smiled smugly, "Of course, I've learned a lot from my father and mother, how could I possibly admit my mistake?"

Lin Cuiying rolled her eyes speechlessly, "You brat, that's all you're good for."

As she spoke, she picked the dogwood berries and put them into her basket.

Upon seeing this, Lin Tiandong quickly said, "Sister, I found these dogwood berries, I want to sell them for money!"

Lin Cuiying said irritably, "Aren't you ashamed? I'm the one who called you over, how did it become the one who found out?"

Lin Tiandong felt a little embarrassed by Lin Cuiying's words, scratched his head and said, "Sister, that's not what I meant. I was wondering if I could get a share of this herb?"

"That's more like it."

As she spoke, she put the dogwood into her basket and continued, "Tiandong, if you can find a few more medicinal herbs, I'll count you in."

Lin Tiandong's eyes lit up. "Really? That's great!"

As he spoke, he picked up his hoe and continued searching in the grass.

The two little girls, Lin Yuelan and Lin Yueju, followed Lin Tiandong's example and searched around the neighborhood.

Lin Cuiying couldn't help but smile as she looked at the three guys' energetic appearance.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and Lin Cuiying suddenly smelled a faint scent of blood.

Lin Cuiying's expression changed slightly. Could there be wild animals lurking around here?

She quickly called out, "Tian Dong, Lan Ya Tou, Ju Ya Tou, come here quickly!"

Hearing Lin Cuiying's shouts, Lin Tiandong, Lin Yuelan, and Lin Yueju immediately ran over. "Sister (Mother), what's wrong?"

Lin Cuiying said solemnly, "I smell blood. There may be wild animals around here. Stay with me and don't wander off."

Upon hearing Lin Cuiying's words, Lin Tiandong and the other two's expressions changed slightly.

They also knew that wild animals often roamed the nearby mountains and forests.

However, they rarely venture deep into the mountains and forests, so they seldom encounter wild animals.

But today, in their search for medicinal herbs, they wandered too far and unexpectedly encountered wild animals.

Lin Tiandong quickly said, "Sister, let's go home right away."

The two young girls, Lin Yuelan and Lin Yueju, were also frightened and turned pale, tightly clutching Lin Cuiying's clothes.

Lin Cuiying nodded solemnly, "Okay, let's hurry home."
