After climbing down from the tree, Luo Shimiao didn't climb it again and focused on finding mushrooms.
Under a big tree, Luo Shimiao saw a patch of porcini mushrooms. His eyes lit up, and he ran over, squatted down, and picked them up one by one, setting them aside.
Gu Nian was responsible for putting the mushrooms into bamboo baskets.
An hour later, the bamboo basket was half full, and the six people gathered on the ground to rest.
Luo Shimiao swung her legs as she ate the French fries that Yi Ge had fried for her.
"Brother Hongxuan, come and see what's up there?" Qiao Zhixi held a twig about the thickness of a thumb and poked it a few times.
Luo Shimiao looked over upon hearing the sound, and his eyes widened instantly. Holy crap!
She grabbed Gu Nian and ran, saying as she ran, "Qiao Zhixi, you idiot! That's a hornet's nest! Why did you have to disturb their home?"
"Buzzing..."
Qiao Zhixi stared blankly at the dark mass above, and said in a daze, "A hornet's nest..."
Jin Hongxuan froze on the spot. Seeing that Qiao Zhixi was still standing there, he pulled her away and ran.
"Ah..." Qiao Zhixi held her head in one hand, letting Jin Hongxuan pull her up.
Behind the two, a dark mass of people appeared, and the scene instantly descended into chaos. Some ran down the mountain, while others ran up, and in the blink of an eye, the group was torn apart.
Suddenly, a torrential downpour began from the previously clear blue sky.
"God, are you trying to make things worse?" Luo Shimiao's eyes darted around, searching for a place to take shelter from the rain.
Gu Nian took off his shirt and held it above Luo Shimiao's head, but the rain was too heavy and it was soaked through in no time.
As they ran, they reached another hilltop. Luo Shimiao pointed to a spot not far away and said excitedly, "There seems to be a cave over there."
Luo Shimiao turned to look at the cameraman who was tightly wrapping the camera with a transparent plastic sheet: "The mountain road is slippery when it rains. People need to be careful, and so do the equipment. If it gets damaged, Director Li will probably be heartbroken for a long time."
Fortunately, the program was prepared, otherwise it would have ended early.
Once inside the cave, the photographer turned on his phone's flashlight to illuminate it.
Luo Shimiao exclaimed in surprise, "They even have candles and a lighter!"
There was even a straw mat on the ground, indicating that people often came to this cave to take shelter from the rain or to rest when they were tired. The cave was very spacious, and Luo Shimiao lit the candles.
She sat down on the straw mat, took off her white T-shirt, revealing a matching tank top underneath. The soaking wet tank top clung tightly to the girl's body, exposing her exquisite curves.
The photographer was very sensible and didn't shoot Luo Shimiao, but instead turned the lens towards Gu Nian.
Luo Shimiao wandered around the cave, while outside, the rain poured down and showed no signs of stopping.
"Hey, there's a pile of firewood here." Luo Shimiao carried half of the firewood to a spot near the straw mat and started a fire.
The photographer couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Luo, are you cold?"
Gu Nian watched the girl's busy figure and answered for her, "She's drying clothes."
Luo Shimiao: "Yeah, aren't you uncomfortable wearing wet clothes?"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." Luo Shimiao puffed out her little mouth and blew hard, and the flames gradually grew stronger.
"Done!"
Luo Shimiao looked down at her tank top. She wanted to dry it, but... there were two men inside the cave. Oh well, she'd better dry her T-shirt first.
Gu Nian turned to look at the dozing girl and said, "I'll grill it for you."
"Thank you." Delighted, Luo Shimiao handed the clothes to Gu Nian, took off her shoes and put them aside to dry, then lay flat on the straw mat, hiding her head behind the man, closing her eyes for a blissful nap.
The man silently dried his clothes, the firelight reflecting off his face, casting deep shadows that accentuated his sharp, deep features, his dark eyes reflecting the firelight.
The photographer couldn't help but exclaim that this was a face that could outshine any male celebrity; any male star standing next to him would pale in comparison.
The heavy rain lasted for half an hour, then gradually stopped.
Gu Nian squeezed the girl's fingers and said softly, "Shi Miao is up. The rain has stopped."
A soft voice rang out: "Mmm...okay."
Luo Shimiao sat up, her eyes still heavy with sleepiness, clearly indicating she hadn't had enough sleep.
Gu Nian covered Luo Shimiao's head with the dried clothes: "Let's go out, you can change your clothes."
After they left, Luo Shimiao quickly took off her vest and changed into clothes that had been dried.
They extinguished the fire completely, blew out the candles, and ran out of the cave.
It had just rained, and the forest air was incredibly fresh. Luo Shimiao closed her eyes and greedily took a few breaths.
At this point, the photographer said, "The roads are slippery after the rain, it's not safe. Director Li wants you to go back, and everyone has gone back."
Luo Shimiao looked at the half-full basket of mushrooms and waved his hand: "Then you can go back. The mushrooms aren't even full yet. He's dreaming if he thinks he can save on a deluxe meal."
Photographer: "........."
As soon as Luo Shimiao left, Gu Nian followed. The photographer hesitated for a few seconds before finally following after him.
A few minutes later, Luo Shimiao's clear voice rang out: "Wow, Teacher Gu, come quick, there's a piece of porcini mushroom here."
With a smile in her eyes, Gu Nian accepted the porcini mushrooms that Luo Shimiao handed over.
The more you pick, the more addicted you become, and once you're hooked, you can't stop.
Gu Nian frowned as he looked at the overloaded bamboo basket and said, "Shi Miao, it can't hold any more."
Lying on the ground, the girl picking mushrooms turned around and said, "I finally found another patch of bovine bacteria, even if it's overflowing, I'll still fill it up."
Luo Shimiao glanced at the white shirt Gu Nian had tied around his waist, and a brilliant idea struck her. She ran over and took off the shirt, tying all the knots tightly: "Won't this make it look real?"
Gu Nian: "........."
