Chapter 66: Secret Exposed

The group was very lively, walking all the way up the mountain.

I don’t know if there are more people picking firewood recently, but I didn’t see any firewood until I reached the halfway point of the mountain.

Although there was no firewood, there were a lot of mushrooms.

Yunnan Province is rich in mushrooms. From May to September every year, all kinds of mushrooms in the mountains grow wildly like bamboo shoots after rain.

The ones picked yesterday will be new tomorrow, and you can’t pick them all every day.

But there are too many kinds of mushrooms here, and many of them are poisonous.

Most of the military wives are from other places, and they dare not pick anything except common mushrooms.

But even so, they still picked a lot along the way.

Especially Xiao Jianshe, since entering the mountain, he is like a little mouse falling into a rice jar, stopping from time to time to ask adults if he can pick this or that?

Yu Fangfang is almost annoyed to death by him.

How does she know if she can pick it? She is usually only responsible for eating.

Fortunately, Lin Wanshu had studied this thing in her previous life, and she can basically recognize the mushrooms that appeared along the way.

In the end, Xiao Jianshe simply didn’t ask anyone else, and asked Lin Wanshu specifically.

“Aunt Wanwan, can I pick this?”

When he reached the middle of the mountain, Xiao Jianshe found another bunch of mushrooms. He was not sure whether he could eat them, so he went directly to Lin Wanshu, bypassing his mother.

Yu Fangfang, who was ignored, was not unhappy. Instead, she felt that her son had a good eye and knew who was the best here!

Lin Wanshu happened to be picking mushrooms. She patted the mushrooms to help them release spores so that they could continue to reproduce, and then she picked the whole mushroom and put it in the backpack Qin Yan was carrying.

After picking them, he went with Xiao Jianshe to see the mushrooms he found.

Xiao Miaomiao saw her mother picking mushrooms just now, and she was eager to try it herself.

Qin Yan didn’t stop her and put her down.

He had been a soldier in Yun Province for a long time, and he was very familiar with the mushrooms here, so he was not afraid that the little guy would pick the wrong ones.

Lin Wanshu and Xiao Jianshe walked in front, and the father and daughter followed behind.

Everyone else was busy with their own things, some were collecting firewood, some were picking mushrooms.

Only Yu Fangfang was the most idle.

Since her son was picking mushrooms, she was too lazy to do it herself, so she just looked for wild fruits.

Needless to say, she really found a lot of wild fruits.

One of them was the strangest. There were white crystals on the fruit bunches. The crystals were actually salt. It tasted sour and salty, which was very strange.

Feng Yandong had picked some for her to eat before, and Yu Fangfang liked it very much, so she picked a few bunches directly and planned to take them home to eat slowly.

On the other side, Lin Wanshu and Xiao Jianshe had already come to a bunch of mushrooms.

The cap of the mushroom was semicircular and pink, and the stem was relatively thick, which looked very beautiful.

“Mushroom~”

I don’t know if little girls are naturally interested in beautiful things. When Xiao Miaomiao saw such a beautiful mushroom, she immediately reached out to pick it.

But she was stopped by Lin Wanshu.

“No, my brother found it first.”

Xiao Miaomiao was stopped and was not very happy. Her little mouth was flat immediately.

Xiao Jianshe saw that his sister was unhappy, so he wanted to give the mushroom to her.

But before he could speak, he heard Shen Ci shouting from a distance: “Sister, there are mushrooms here, come quickly.”

Although Xiao Miaomiao is still young, she is very smart and knows who treats her best.

When she heard Shen Ci shouting, she didn’t hesitate and ran over.

Xiao Jianshe:…

It was obviously me who found the mushrooms first, and my sister wanted them too, so how come Shen Ci got there first?

Xiao Jianshe was depressed.

Lin Wanshu looked at the mushrooms on the ground carefully, and after a moment, she said to Xiao Jianshe:

“This is Jianshouqing, it can be eaten, but it must be cooked thoroughly before eating. If it is not cooked, it will be poisonous.”

When he heard that it might be poisonous, Xiao Jianshe immediately felt that this beautiful mushroom was not fragrant.

“Then I don’t want it, I’ll look for it again.”

When he finds it later, he will ask his sister to pick it first. This time he must not let Shen Ci steal his limelight.

After saying that, Xiao Jianshe left directly without any nostalgia.

Lin Wanshu: …

Looking at the bunch of scutellaria on the ground, Lin Wanshu felt it was a pity.

After a pause, she reached out and patted the pink mushrooms, picking them off.

Scutellaria are dangerous, but they are also rare and delicious mushrooms.

Besides, she had all kinds of detoxifying medicines and spiritual spring water in her space, so she was not worried about any accidents.

Qin Yan saw that his daughter and the boy from the Shen family were so happy picking mushrooms that they forgot about him as their father, and he could not help but sigh.

In the end, he did not want to spoil her fun, and since Shen Ci was looking for the most common flat-top mushrooms, he did not care.

He only told him to ask adults if he was not sure what kind it was.

Shen Ci naturally agreed.

After finally getting permission to play with his sister, he took care of her wholeheartedly.

Xiao Miaomiao was watched by Shen Ci, and Qin Yan went to collect firewood.

Xiao Shenyue went up the mountain just to catch chameleons and dig bird nests, and was not interested in mushrooms at all.

While his mother was collecting firewood, he went everywhere to look for bird nests.

After Lin Wanshu finished picking that bunch of green onion, she continued to look for herbs.

Her trip to find medicine for Lin Jiemin was just a side job, and her main purpose was actually to find the herbs for her two prescriptions of medicine.

Yun Province is indeed a natural medicinal material warehouse, with dense forests and rich vegetation.

Before long, Lin Wanshu found several.

However, one of the herbs happened to grow on a steep stone wall, which was a bit difficult to pick.

Lin Wanshu grabbed the branch with one hand and reached for the herb with the other hand, but found that she could hardly reach it.

She didn’t intend to embarrass herself if she couldn’t pick it, so she was ready to call her man over.

But before she withdrew her hand, she saw a cobra appear on the stone wall.

When she suddenly saw the snake head, Lin Wanshu was so scared that her heart almost stopped beating on the spot!

Ah!

It’s a snake!

It’s a poisonous snake!

If she hadn’t had a trace of reason, she would have screamed!

Although she grew up in the countryside, it didn’t affect her fear of this thing at all!

Holding her breath, she forced herself to calm down while silently finding the silenced anesthetic gun in the space.

She planned to take it by surprise and shoot it directly!

The location of this herb is a bit strange, with a cliff in front, a big tree behind, and slopes on both sides. She is alone here, so even if she uses a tranquilizer gun, she is not afraid of being seen.

The man and the snake are in a stalemate, and Lin Wanshu feels her back is soaked with sweat.

After calculating the direction of the shooting, the next second, a palm-sized tranquilizer gun appeared in her palm.

Almost at the moment the gun appeared, the cobra also ejected and rushed straight towards her!

Lin Wanshu pressed the gun without hesitation!

But at the same time, a stone was suddenly thrown from behind!

With a “pop” sound, the stone hit the snake accurately!

Everything happened in a flash. Before Lin Wanshu could react, the next second, her waist tightened and she was hugged into a hot embrace!

The familiar breath of a man came, but Lin Wanshu’s whole body suddenly froze like a stone.

She was still holding the tranquilizer gun in her hand, which she had no time to retract, and her head was buzzing.

Did he… see it?
