Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Hua Murong turned around and looked at the people who were already busy. She was stunned for a moment. This... seemed to be a little wrong, right?

Shouldn't we stop the carriage to rest and let the horses eat some grass? Wouldn't that be a good opportunity for them to have something to eat?

In this remote wilderness, there are dry food and water in the carriage. Shouldn't a few bites be enough?

This... catching fish and making soup at the same time, what a waste of time?

"Wife! Come over here and take a look at these things growing by the stream. Are they water spinach?"

When Yan Yiyi heard this, her eyes lit up and she ran over. Oh, how could she forget about water spinach!

Oh, you can’t blame her. There is no water spinach growing by the stream in Dashan Village. When there are sweet potatoes, she forgot about water spinach.

Hua Murong came to her senses after hearing the sound and saw her sister running out. What is this water spinach? Is it rare?

"Where, where is the water spinach?"

"Over here." Xin Ye led Yan Yiyi over, and Hua Murong quickly caught up with the young couple.

Water spinach grows on the bank of a shallow stream, mixed with weeds. If Xin Ye wasn't very sharp-eyed, he would probably have mistaken it for a weed.

Hua Murong stuck her head out to look around, and saw only a field of lush green grass. Where were the rare wild vegetables?

"Wife, there is water here and it's very muddy. Once you confirm that it is water spinach, I can pick it to avoid getting your skirt wet."

Yan Yiyi thought about it and decided that she really didn’t want to get her shoes, socks and clothes wet, and besides, there weren’t that many water spinach leaves in this patch.

Before she could respond, Xin Ye added, "Besides, there are probably a lot of leeches near this stream, so don't go down."

Yan Yiyi didn't have much idea about leeches. It seemed like they were a kind of medicinal herb. However, she had rarely seen fresh leeches in the apocalypse. After coming to this world, she just remembered such a medicine when she mentioned leeches, as if she had seen the dried goods in the herbal medicine store.

"Won't the leeches suck your blood? Let's not eat them. We can find seeds to plant when we get back. We should plant them in the fields instead of in paddy fields."

Hua Murong saw that Yan Yiyi was so excited just now, and thought that she must want to eat this vegetable, but she couldn't bear to let Xin Ye go to pick it. Seeing the disappointment in her eyes, Hua Murong had an idea: "I have a pair of long boots in the carriage, let him wear the boots to pick it."

Yan Yiyi immediately thought of water shoes. She had prepared some in her space before, and also prepared one for Xin Ye, who also had one in his space.

But now there is a big brother who is in the way, and it is not convenient for them to pick them wearing water shoes.

When Hua Murong mentioned long boots, Xin Ye also thought of waders at the same time, but because his elder brother-in-law was there, he couldn't take them out. He immediately winked at Yan Yiyi, asking her to help get his elder brother-in-law away.

Yan Yiyi received Xin Ye's hint, responded with a look, turned around and pulled Hua Murong away: "In that case, brother, come with me to the mountain over there to find mushrooms or other wild vegetables."

Hua Murong thought Xin Ye was winking at him to take his sister away, so he went downstairs to pick vegetables. Coincidentally, his sister was willing to leave too. She said she wanted to pick mushrooms, so they went.

Hua Murong followed Yan Yiyi obediently and asked as they walked: "Yi'er, do we really have to eat vegetables?"

"Not necessarily. We just need to rest and give the horses more time to graze. It won't be a problem for us to find some wild vegetables for lunch, right?"

"It's okay. If you want to eat wild vegetables and mushrooms, I'll go with you to pick them."

"Okay, then let's go back and find a basket to put it in."

"Huh? You brought a basket of vegetables?"

"Yes, it can be used to store vegetables and wash them, how convenient."

"Did you come to Liangguan County leisurely like this before?"

"Yeah, we're not in a hurry to get on the road, so why should we treat ourselves badly?"

Hua Murong: ...It seems to make sense.

Xin Ye looked at the backs of the brother and sister as they walked away while talking, glanced around, made sure there was no one around, and secretly took out the water shoes from the space.

The color of the waders is flesh-colored. If you don't look closely, you won't notice that he is wearing them. He doesn't dare to lift his trouser legs too high for fear of being discovered.

As he expected, there were leeches living here. At first glance, he saw several of them, some crawling slowly on the mud, and some swimming quickly in the shallow water.

When Xinye picked water spinach, he picked each one very carefully and did not dare to pick too long ones for fear that leeches would crawl on the leaves.

In this field, Xin Ye picked nearly ten kilograms of water spinach. After making sure that there was no one around, he secretly changed his water shoes. Without even cleaning the mud off the shoes, he threw them directly back into the space, then happily carried the water spinach back to ask his wife for credit.

On the other side, Yan Yiyi really went to pick mushrooms as he said. Before entering the mountain, he picked some straw mushrooms at the foot of the mountain. There were not many, and Hua Murong could just hold them all in her hands.

The most picked thing was Amaranth, a huge piece of it!

When they came back, they saw another patch of thunder god root. Yan Yiyi plucked a handful of it. Thinking that many people would eat it, she plucked two more handfuls, and the basket was full.

Seeing that she still enjoyed picking wild vegetables to eat as before, Hua Murong couldn't help but curl her lips.

"Do we need to pick so many of these Gotu Kola roots? How do you plan to eat them? Put them in fish soup or serve them cold?"

Yan Yiyi was stunned, looked up at Hua Murong and asked, "Do you know about thunder god root?"

"I know this amaranth, too. We used to go to the farm with you to collect herbs, and we liked to pick wild vegetables for lunch in the mountains at noon."

Yan Yiyi's eyes widened in horror: "I'll make lunch for you!?"

"Puff!" Hua Murong couldn't help herself. It seemed that she was aware of her cooking skills. "No, you just move your mouth and we brothers will do the cooking."

Yan Yiyi was surprised: "You all know how to cook?"

"Yes, mother asked us, the older brothers, to take care of you, and the younger brothers, to pamper you, so she asked the cook to teach us three brothers how to cook.

We don’t know how to make dishes that are delicate or require a lot of effort, but at least we can cook them well and eat them without any problems.”

Hearing this, Yan Yiyi's mouth twitched slightly.

Don't continue this topic. If you continue, you will be socially mortal.

Looking up, he saw Xin Ye sitting over there picking water spinach, and he ran towards him as if escaping: "Wow! Ah Ye, you picked so many water spinach!"

Hua Murong smiled softly and did not expose her embarrassment. Her sister was already married, so she needed to save some face for her.

"Brother, then you will be responsible for selecting thunder god roots."

"Okay." Hua Murong agreed immediately, "Do you need me to do it?"

"No, let Aye do it."

"Hmm? You don't believe in your brother's craftsmanship?"

"No, I plan to eat this Gotu Kola cold. It's not difficult to make."

"Miss, we caught more than ten fish and have processed them." Hua Bei came back with a bucket full of fish. Yan Yiyi leaned over to take a look and saw that the fish were mostly the size of a palm and looked a bit like grass carp. She couldn't tell if it was a grass carp or what species it was.

Yan Yiyi turned to Xin Ye and said, "Aye, you can start cooking now. They will help you pick the vegetables!"
