Chapter 328: Entering the Mountains and a Date
The reason why Qiao Mo and others believed that there were such fish in Mangshan Lake was because Kang Mingyuan heard it from his friends: some of Kang Mingyuan’s childhood friends went to Mangshan Lake to camp and hunt some time ago.
Because their main purpose was camping, they did not go deep into the mountains. Those who went hunting only killed a few pheasants and rabbits, while those who were assigned to fish caught rare whitebait, which made them very proud. After returning, they showed off to Kang Mingyuan and other friends, who laughed at them for not having a good appetite.
Kang Mingyuan knew that Qiao Mo liked to eat fish, and she must like silverfish, so he wanted to catch a few and bring them back. He also wanted to relive the joy of hunting in the mountains, so he took two days to ask her to go into the mountains.
Qiao Mo disagreed. She thought that silverfish were so rare because they must be very scarce. There wouldn't be too many of them in Mangshan Lake, and they wouldn't be easy to catch. It was still unknown whether they could catch any. However, she hadn't been to the mountains for a long time, and it was summer vacation now, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to go for a walk in the mountains. That's why she agreed to Kang Mingyuan's proposal.
The reason why she didn't tell Yang Weihua was because Mangshan Lake was quite far away. Although it was located on the outskirts of Mangshan, it was not far from the deep mountains. There might be herds of wild boars and wolves in it. It was a relatively dangerous place for ordinary people. She was afraid that Yang Weihua would worry, so she didn't dare to tell the truth.
"You have to be even more careful in the mountains. In the middle of summer, you have to be wary not only of large wild animals but also snakes, insects, rats and ants." Yang Weihua said disapprovingly, "You don't need that bite of meat, so why take the risk of going into the mountains?"
"We just want to go to the mountains to take a look. We heard that the specialty of Mangshan is red mushrooms, so we just want to go and see if we can pick some red mushrooms to eat. Hunting is just a side job. Don't worry, cousin, we will bring insect repellent." Qiao Mo comforted him.
"When we were in the countryside, we would go into the mountains whenever we had time. That winter, when we were building a reservoir in the mountains, we would go into the mountains every night to hunt wild boars. So, we are already very familiar with hunting in the mountains."
"Red mushrooms are not easy to pick. You must be careful and don't go deep into the mountains. I heard there are tigers, leopards and other ferocious beasts there."
"I know, I know. Don't worry, cousin. Your cousin is very careful about her life." Qiao Mo said with a smile.
After seeing Yang Weihua off, Qiao Mo worked overtime to cut clothes. She worked until late at night, using up hundreds of pieces of cloth and cutting out more than seventy pieces of clothing before she hurriedly washed and rested.
The next day, before dawn, Qiao Mo got out of bed. She put all the supplies that Wu Weiqian and his brother needed in the next few days in the empty house in the backyard, and went out with the things she needed to go into the mountains. She originally thought she would have to wait at the door for a few minutes, but she didn't expect that she would hear the roar of the engine as soon as she walked out of the yard, even before she locked the door. She quickly locked the door, and sure enough, after a while, Kang Mingyuan drove a jeep to the door.
"Brother Yuan." Qiao Mo put the backpack on the back seat, opened the passenger door and stepped in.
"Momo, have you had breakfast?" Kang Mingyuan smiled at her, stepped on the accelerator, and the car slid out.
"I brought some buns, but I don't have an appetite now. I'll eat them when I'm hungry." Qiao Mo shook her head. It was too early and she couldn't eat.
"Then we'll eat later." Kang Mingyuan nodded. He also prepared a lot of food and stored it in the storage beads. It not only kept the food fresh but also kept it warm, so he could take it out and eat it at any time.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Me neither, let's eat together later."
The jeep was driving through the quiet streets. A cool breeze came into the car through the open windows, brushing the man's face and blowing the woman's long hair.
This reminded Qiao Mo of a line from a song: I blew the same wind you blew, does this count as a hug?
