Chapter 17 Encountering a Tiger



Where the flashlight shines, a group of mushrooms with green caps and white stems are scattered everywhere, densely packed and extremely numerous.

“This is a green-faced mushroom!”

Zhou Xiuqin recognized the name of the mushroom. "I didn't expect there were so many green-faced mushrooms here. Yun Zhao, do you want to pick some?"

Green mushrooms are not worth much, and everyone sells them as mixed mushrooms, only about ten or twenty yuan per pound.

But the mushrooms are delicious and very tender.

"Then pick some."

The two of them immediately squatted down to pick them. In a short while, a basket was full, and there were still many green mushrooms here.

"No more picking." Shen Yunzhao stood up and pounded his waist. "Just pick a few green mushrooms to taste. Mom, let's pick more red mushrooms."

"Alright."

After they walked a few steps forward, Shen Yunzhao discovered milk mushrooms, hemp mushrooms and other miscellaneous mushrooms.

They picked a little of each kind to taste, not much, but even so, the two backpacks were still full.

Shen Yunzhao simply took Zhou Xiuqin out of the space and exchanged for two empty baskets.

Then they ignored the miscellaneous mushrooms and only picked the red mushrooms.

With Shen Yunzhao's golden finger, they quickly filled the two baskets.

Shen Yunzhao put the basket on his back and was about to call Zhou Xiuqin when he saw her standing there with her back to him, motionless, waving at him desperately.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Shen Yunzhao walked to Zhou Xiuqin and looked in the direction she was looking. His heart almost jumped out of his chest.

A huge beast stood less than five meters away from them. The beast was about two meters tall and one meter long, with a big head and four legs as thick as pillars. It was almost as big as an adult elephant.

The hair is black and yellow, and there is a particularly eye-catching "王" character in the middle of the forehead.

It just stood there motionless, staring at Shen Yunzhao. The powerful feeling of oppression made Shen Yunzhao's mind chaotic and he dared not move.

Cold sweat kept coming out from his forehead and back, soon soaking his clothes.

It took a long time for Shen Yunzhao to regain her sanity. Reason told her that the tiger would not hurt her, but she was still very scared in her heart and did not dare to stay here any longer.

Shen Yunzhao pulled Zhou Xiuqin's sleeve, indicating that she was about to leave the space.

But before the two men left, the big tiger turned around and left, disappearing into the woods in a short while.

"Gone, gone?" Zhou Xiuqin was still looking at the direction the tiger left, her voice still trembling.

"Leave."

"I was so scared!"

Zhou Xiuqin's legs went weak, and if Shen Yunzhao hadn't supported her, she would have fallen to the ground.

"Mom, let's go out first."

"Okay, get out now."

Neither of them dared to stay here anymore and left the space immediately.

Zhou Xiuqin felt alive again after returning to her familiar home, but she was still a little scared. "Yun Zhao, let's go to another place to pick red mushrooms next time. It's too dangerous there."

"Okay, let's go somewhere else next time."

Shen Yunzhao still felt scared when he recalled the appearance of the tiger.

The tiger was so huge that it could pounce on them and bite off their necks with one leap.

If she didn't have the golden finger, she would have been eaten by the tiger long ago.

But if she didn't have the golden finger, she wouldn't have appeared in the space, let alone met the tiger.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunzhao's emotions stabilized, but an idea arose in her mind: she wanted to become stronger!

Just like in martial arts novels, he can climb walls and fly over rooftops, is as strong as an ox, and can kill people by picking leaves.

Although she knew it was a delusion, the desire to become stronger became stronger and stronger.

"Oh, you're here so early today?"

Uncle Fan greeted Shen Yunzhao cheerfully when he saw him.

Shen Yunzhao forced a smile and said, "Come early, so we can sell out and go home early."

"Haha, that's right. Hey, where's your mom? Why don't I see her?"

"My mother is tired today and is resting at home."

In fact, Zhou Xiuqin was frightened by the tiger and has not recovered yet.

So Shen Yunzhao asked her to rest at home and take care of the baby, and she came out to set up the stall by herself.

Shen Yunzhao chatted with Uncle Fan for a few words, then put down the basket and began to prepare.

"Oh, you finally made it to the stall!"

A fat old lady walked over quickly and complained, "Boss, why didn't you come yesterday?"

Shen Yunzhao recognized the old lady. She was the one who bought red mushrooms from her the day before yesterday and complained that her grandson at home didn't eat.

Shen Yunzhao smiled and said, "Auntie, I have to go up the mountain to pick red mushrooms every day, and I also have to go everywhere to buy them. I have too much to do, so I can't set up a stall every day. Starting next week, I will come four days a week: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday."

"Just four days? Can't you come every day?" Old Mrs. Lin frowned.

"There's nothing I can do! Going up the mountain is too tiring. I can't stand doing it every day."

Mr. Fan next to him asked curiously, "Old lady, do you buy red mushrooms every day? They're not cheap, don't you feel bad about it?"

"Alas, it's my grandson!"

Old Mrs. Lin complained bitterly, "My grandson doesn't like to eat. He only eats half a bowl of rice once a day. He's as thin as a monkey. The day before yesterday, I bought some red mushrooms and he loved them. He ate two bowls of rice in one meal."

"My daughter-in-law asked me to buy some more red mushrooms to cook for my grandson. So I ran to the market early in the morning to buy more red mushrooms so that my grandson could have more food."
