I lay on the bed and counted the ten seconds countdown silently before crawling out of bed.
Afraid of waking up Luo Qingjiu, she quietly put on her clothes and set out with a small backpack on her back.
When she arrived at the foot of the mountain, Shen Yue rolled up her trousers first. There was a lot of dew in the morning, so it would be much harder to walk if the trousers were wet.
Following the marks made yesterday into the mountain, in a quarter of an hour, we arrived at the place where we found the red mushrooms yesterday.
The mushrooms, which were just small beans yesterday, have grown overnight, and their canopies have stretched out. Each mushroom is half the size of a hand, which is perfect for cooking.
Shen Yue picked them all and put them away, then continued walking deeper into the forest.
Yesterday, I saw from a distance that there were a lot of mushrooms outcropping, so I should be able to harvest a lot.
She walked closer and pushed aside the fallen leaves, and dark red mushroom heads emerged one after another. Shen Yue picked the big ones and put them in the basket, and covered the smaller ones with fallen leaves to let them continue to grow.
Shen Yue picked while walking. There were mushrooms growing under almost every tree. People in the village usually walked through the mountain roads when entering the mountains. Very few people walked through the woods. This was an advantage for her. She picked half a basket of red mushrooms in a short time. Mushrooms, three ripe puffballs.
The deeper you go, the more good things you get.
She picked up everything she could use and put it into her backpack.
After walking for another half-quarter of an hour, she discovered a nux vomica tree!
This is what she needs urgently now. The medicinal materials in the town are too expensive, and she can't even buy a few with the money she got from the system.
The trees were full of fruits. Shen Yue stepped on the trunk and used both hands to pick the orange nux vomica and put it into the basket on her back.
This much nux vomica is enough to support Luo Qingjiu until she recovers, and there is even a surplus.
The basket made by Luo's mother was very big. After picking so many things, it was still not full. Shen Yue continued to move forward.
Unknowingly, I walked to the center of the mountain, and what caught my eye was the towering ancient tree. The branches of the ancient tree were twisting and vigorous, covered with wrinkles of the years, the branches and leaves were dense and thick, and the pointed tree tops reached into the sky.
Shen Yue knew that she had arrived at the center of Guyang Mountain. Guyang Mountain was the back mountain and was named because of the thousand-year-old poplar trees in the mountain. Guyang Village was also named because it relied on Guyang Mountain.
The houses in the village all face north and south, and the entire Guyang Mountain Range stretches behind the village, so people are also accustomed to calling it the back mountain.
Seeing the ancient poplar tree, Shen Yue knew that she couldn't go further inside. With the ancient poplar tree as the dividing line, there were deep mountains further inside, and few people went in.
"Huh, it's so heavy." She was exhausted after walking for so long.
Today's harvest was full, and Shen Yue planned to rest for a while before going down the mountain.
She put down her full basket, grabbed a few poplar leaves, and made a simple little fan.
Sitting on the ground, with my back against the ancient poplar tree, I fanned the small fan in my hand, and felt the breeze blowing on my face, blowing away the heat all over my body.
Shen Yue fanned herself leisurely, unaware that danger was approaching.
[Danger warning! Remind the host that if he does not dodge, he will be fatally attacked from behind in fifteen seconds. 】
!!!
What the hell?
Without having time to think about it, Shen Yue instinctively dodged to the side. Her body was a little bulky without any internal strength, but fortunately she managed to avoid it.
Looking back to where she had been sitting just now, she saw an emerald green snake nailed to the tree trunk she had just leaned against.
The emerald green with white patterns on its body flipped up and down, trying to get rid of the hard tree trunk, but its attack speed was too fast, and it didn't expect that the little human could actually dodge, so it was nailed to the tree trunk by itself, unable to move.
The snake is a reptile of the Cobra family and is a highly venomous snake that lives in mountain forests and hides under dead branches and leaves on the surface.
There is no serum here, and one bite from it will kill you instantly!
Shen Yue was frightened for a while. If the system hadn't reminded her, she would have died directly in the snake's belly.
[The danger is over, please host cherish your life.]
Shen Yue:...
She cherishes her life, doesn’t she?
After struggling for a while, the snake became exhausted and its body hung limply on the tree trunk.
It just wants to have a full meal, why is it so difficult!
Shen Yue doesn't care about so much, snake slough, snake gallbladder and snake meat are all good things!
He pinched the seven inches of the snake and pulled it down, leaving two snake teeth neatly on the trunk.
A toothless snake is not dangerous at all.
Holding the snake's tail, Bang Bang threw it against the tree, knocked it unconscious and took it away!
There were thick leaves deep in the forest, and there were too many dangers hiding there. Shen Yue did not dare to stay any longer, so she packed her backpack and returned the same way.
You should bring some realgar with you next time you go into the mountains.
... …
"Qingjiu mother, let me tell you, you shouldn't have married that Shen family in the first place." Aunt Li sat on the bench in the courtyard, smacking the melon seeds she brought from home, and vomited the melon seed shells all over the floor.
"They say you should marry a virtuous wife. You said that your family's life has been getting worse since Mrs. Shen entered the house. Look what the people in the village say."
"Aunt Li, how can you take the gossip in the village seriously? Yue'er is a good child, and it was Yue'er who took care of Xiao Jiu when she was injured." When Aunt Li talked about her children, Luo's mother immediately became unhappy and retorted immediately.
"Hey~ I've seen all Shen's behavior. Who is Lu? Shen can play with her, maybe..." Aunt Li raised her eyebrows, but she didn't mean what she said. And metaphor.
Luo Qingjiu was injured and lying in bed. She had been here for such a long time, so Shen Shi still hadn't shown her face, so she must have been fooling around with Lu Shi again.
The one in her family that Mrs. Lu seduced was always haunted. If Mr. Shen could play with her, she might have become unclean a long time ago!
Seeing that Mother Luo's face was not very good, Aunt Li thought that Mother Luo had listened to her words. She spat out the melon seed shells in her mouth and continued: "Qingjiu mother, don't blame me for speaking out. It's hard to find such a good girl. , my niece just came back from Zhenxi Embroidery Workshop, she has the best character and figure."
At first, Aunt Li was just testing Luo Mu's attitude, but now she has made it clear, and she almost told Luo Mu to divorce Shen and marry her own niece.
In fact, Aunt Li also has selfish motives. Her niece Li Xiuxiu has a bad reputation in the embroidery shop. If she doesn't get married quickly, it will be difficult for the workers in the town to come back in a few days and let the villagers know about it. It will be difficult to get married again.
So she set her sights on Luo Qingjiu. The Luo family had a good relationship with the Li Zheng family. Luo Qingjiu was also a smart and motivated child. She would be a scholar in the future and gain fame.
Aunt Li inquired about Shen's daily activities and made a special effort to get close to Luo's mother so that she could bring them together. Luo's mother had become very close to her these days.
Aunt Li didn't notice that Mother Luo looked wrong, and continued to talk to herself: "Qingjiu is lying in bed. How can there be no one by her side? Tomorrow I will ask Xiuxiu to come and take care of Qingjiu."
After saying this, Luo Mu still didn't understand anything, so she immediately lowered her face and wanted to drive people away.
"Hey, Aunt Li is going to give my Qingjiu a maid?"
