Chapter 115 I'm almost 1 catties
"Aunt, are there so many mushrooms in Yuncheng every year?" As soon as she went up the mountain, Ruan Ruan saw mushrooms all over the ground. The ones she recognized were only the most common mushrooms we have, as well as some rare Matsutake and Chicken Matsutake mushrooms, as well as the Bamboo Fungus and Chanterelles in the bamboo forest. She didn't recognize the others very well.
"Here, every year from June to September, as long as it rains, a lot of mushrooms will grow. Of course, there are also some poisonous mushrooms, so you must be careful when picking them. Don't pick up the brighter colors, such as red, green, and white. Most of these mushrooms are poisonous."
"Look, these are poisonous. You have to be careful. They are different from the yellow chanterelles. Don't mix them up when you pick them up, okay?"
While picking the fruits, Teacher Shen also introduced and compared them to her, telling her which ones were poisonous and which ones were edible.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Auntie. I have never seen so many mushrooms before."
After picking up the trash for a while, they went to four different directions. "Ruan Ruan, be careful. Don't go any further. If anything happens, just shout loudly. OK?"
"Aunt, Sister Xia, don't worry, I will be careful, and you too, the road is slippery, please be careful"
Afterwards, Ruan Ruan became more and more excited as she picked up the items, and gradually moved away from the main group.
"Wow, there are so many matsutake mushrooms. Hahaha, they look so delicious." Ruan Ruan found a bunch of matsutake mushrooms under a pine tree. She picked them up carefully and went to pick another pine tree. There were only a few left. She was not greedy and picked all the big ones, leaving some small ones.
"Sister, sister, can you hear me?" After Ruan Ruan checked all the surrounding pine trees, she heard Gu Jingming calling her from a distance.
"Xiao Ming, I'm here." Seeing that there were no more mushrooms around, Ruan Ruan picked up the backpack and walked back, responding to Gu Jingming.
"Sister, why did you run so far? We found you missing just now and my mother was very worried. They are now looking for you separately!" Gu Jingming, who had not found anyone, said with a slightly displeased tone when he saw someone coming out of the woods.
"Be good, don't be anxious. Isn't sister fine here? So don't be afraid. Sister also grew up in the mountains, so don't worry." Seeing Gu Jingming's anxious look, Ruan Ruan comforted him softly.
"Okay, let's go back quickly, otherwise my mother won't know what to do later." After stabilizing herself, Gu Jingming pulled Ruan Ruan back, fearing that she would die again if she left her alone.
"Okay, don't worry, I won't get lost." At this moment, Ruan Ruan felt that Gu Jingming was the brother and she was the sister. She still remembered that when she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she went up the mountain with the Huo brothers. They also let her walk in the middle. At that time, Huo Haoshen also held her hand when he went down the mountain, for fear that she would roll down the mountain if she didn't step firmly.
"Sister, you are too worrying. In the blink of an eye, the person is gone." Gu Jingming also knew that he was too nervous. He turned his head to look at Ruan Ruan. She wanted to follow him, but when he saw that it was inconvenient to lead her like this, he let her go, but he still turned his head to look at her from time to time.
"I, your sister, went hunting in the mountains with my two fathers when I was twelve years old. I'm not as weak as you think!" Ruan Ruan couldn't help but find it funny when she saw that Gu Jingming really thought of her as a weak little girl, because she was obviously the little kid.
"Sister, can you hunt?" Gu Jingming had never expected that his sister, who was so small, would go up the mountain to hunt. If she encountered wild boars, tigers or something like that, she would be eaten by them in one bite.
"Why, you still don't believe it? Wait until your brother-in-law and the others have rested that day, then we'll come together and show you how powerful your sister is." Ruan Ruan knew that if only the two siblings came, let alone whether their uncle and aunt would agree, even Huo Haocheng would not agree. He might even call home to complain. When she thought of the mothers' nagging skills, she surrendered.
"Okay, then let's ask Dad to come along." When Gu Jingming heard Ruan Ruan say this, he believed that his sister really knew how to hunt. When he went back today, he would ask his brother what kind of rest they had. He couldn't wait.
"Mom, Sister Zheng, we're back." When they got closer, they saw Teacher Shen and Wang Xia already waiting at the place where they separated.
"How could you walk so far? What did I tell you? Don't walk too far, don't walk too far. Why didn't you listen?" Teacher Shen started to nag Ruan Ruan as soon as she saw her. It was obvious that she was really worried about her. If she had grown up next to her, she would have pulled her ears.
"Sister, you really made us anxious. Don't do this next time," Wang Xiahe said to Teacher Shen. At first, she was anxious after hearing Teacher Shen calling a few times but no one answered. Teacher Shen asked Gu Jingming to look for her in the direction she left, and the two of them went in another direction to look for her. Later, after hearing their voices, they returned and waited here.
"I'm sorry, Aunt, Sister Xia, I just saw a few nests of matsutake mushrooms, and then I walked away while picking them up. After I finished picking them up, I heard Xiao Ming's voice. I'm really sorry for making you worry. I promise that I won't do it again next time. Look, I picked up a lot."
Ruan Ruan apologized to them obediently. Let me ask you, when such a cute and tender girl apologizes to you so obediently, can you still be angry? Of course not, so Teacher Shen and Wang Xia could do nothing about her.
"Alright, alright, stop looking, it's getting late, let's go back first!" Teacher Shen looked at her, sighed softly, and then tapped her forehead again, "You, do you still want to have a next time?"
Then, several people put on their backpacks, checked their belongings, and went down the mountain.
"Mom, my sister said that after my brother-in-law and eldest brother have rested, she will take me to the mountains to hunt." On the way back, Gu Jingming directly told Teacher Shen and Wang Xia what Ruan Ruan had just said to him.
"Girl, you can hunt?" Wang Xia was surprised. Her first thought was the same as Gu Jingming's: such a small person can hunt.
"Sister Xia, don't look at me because I'm small. Actually, I'm not short at all, and I'm still growing." Ruan Ruan felt that she was not short at a height of about 1.6 meters. Why did everyone of them have the same expression?
"We don't think you are short, it's that you look too thin. The overall feeling you give people is that you are frail," Teacher Shen replied unhappily.
"Aunt, I'm not thin, I'm almost 100 pounds, and this is muscle"
"Your arms and legs are so small, your thighs are not even as thick as my arms, you are not thin."
After listening to Teacher Shen's words, Ruan Ruan looked down at her thighs, then looked at her aunt who was walking in front of her, and then stopped talking.
Teacher Shen is not fat, but he is middle-aged, and his family conditions have improved over the years. He eats healthier and has gained more flesh than when he was young. So he looks thicker than Ruan Ruan's thin arms and legs.
Along the way, Ruan Ruan told them stories about when she was a child, she went hunting in the mountains with the Huo family's father and brothers. They were very happy to hear it.
When they parted, Gu Jingming did not forget to ask her to take him hunting.
