Qiao'er tilted her head and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Oh, it's Sister Yulan, why are you here at this time?"

The one walking over there was none other than Yulan, with a blue floral scarf wrapped around her head, a basket slung over her waist, and both hands supporting it. She walked in a very graceful and delicate manner, looking even more fragile.

She lowered her head slightly, revealing her snow-white neck, and said softly, "My sister is going home to stay for a few days tomorrow, and my mother asked me to come over and pick some wild vegetables to cook for her."

"Isn't Sister Sulan pregnant? Why did she come back at this time? She didn't bring any vegetables with her when she came home. Can she get used to our wild vegetables?" Qiao'er asked repeatedly.

It’s not that I meant to embarrass Yulan, I just really don’t understand.

I heard that those rich families have rice and fried fruits for every meal, which are things that poor people like them could never imagine. Why does she come home to suffer when she is pregnant instead of enjoying her good life?

Yulan sighed softly, her face slightly red. "Who said it wasn't true? The servant who brought the message home didn't explain it clearly. He just asked the family to vacate the room. When she comes back with the maids and servants, they might not have enough room. I don't know if she will bring some food. Mother asked me to come and pick some wild vegetables for her, in case she gets tired of the good food and wants to change her taste."

When she looked up and saw Du Wenxiu picking wood ears on a rotten tree stump, Yulan exclaimed, "Sister Fang Hai, you can't eat this!"

Du Wenxiu didn't even turn his head, and his men kept saying that it was okay, as they had just given Lu Fanghai food this morning and it was fine.

When Yulan heard this, she took a few steps forward and knocked the fungus out of Du Wenxiu's hand, without caring whether it was rude or not.

"This thing can't be eaten, why did you give it to Brother Fang Hai? Do you want to harm him..."

Du Wenxiu was about to raise her hand to get angry because she had knocked away Mu Er. Seeing her like this, she knew she was anxious. Although it was not someone else's turn to control her man, she was a little girl with good intentions, so she put down her raised hand. She smiled and said, "Sister Yulan, I know whether what I feed my man is poisonous or not. Don't worry, he will be fine."

"You... I'll go find Brother Fang Hai. If you eat this, you'll get rashes on your body. My sister's Xiaocao, who lived in the same room with me, ate this and her face got ulcers. It couldn't be cured, so she became so depressed that she hanged herself..." Yulan couldn't bear it any longer and turned around to go back to find Fang Hai while crying.

Qiao'er was also half-believing and half-doubting what she heard. Since she lived in the same room with Sister Sulan, she should be a maid in Mr. Wang's family. She had never heard of this matter before.

Du Wenxiu stepped forward and grabbed Yulan, bursting out laughing: "Sister Yulan, you look like this, I don't know if you think Fang Hai is your man. Since I dare to make this for him to eat, I know how to make sure he doesn't get the same disease as Xiaocao, so you can put your mind at ease."

It turns out that fresh black fungus does contain light-sensitive substances that are insoluble in water. Thanks to the development of modern networks, some common sense can be easily found on the Internet. Moreover, when Du Wenxiu was a child living with the elderly in the village, the black fungus he picked was dried before eating. He didn't know that people at that time didn't eat black fungus because of these common sense issues.

Yulan was still a little unconvinced, but Du Wenxiu ignored her. He bent down to pick up the wood ears that she had knocked down, picked some more, filled the small cloth bag, and then took Qiao'er to go back.

Yulan hesitated for a while, but finally called her: "Sister Fang Hai, tell me, is there really a way to eat this thing without getting your face choked?"

Lu Wenxiu smiled and didn't say much to her.

"Since I dare to pick them and eat them, there must be a way." After saying that, he took Qiao'er away.

After thinking it over for a long time, Yulan finally picked some wood ears, but wrapped them in cloth and placed them aside in the basket.

There are a lot of bamboo shoots here, but unfortunately the tools Yulan brought are not good enough, so she has to go deeper into the mountains to see if she can find other wild vegetables.

Suddenly, she heard someone talking in front of her. Yulan's mind tightened, she slowed down her pace, and hid under the bushes.

Now most of the villagers are busy working in the fields, and few people come here. If I meet someone with bad intentions, I won't be able to do anything by myself.

The voices were getting quieter and quieter, and there seemed to be heavier breathing. Yulan quietly took two steps forward, half stood up and looked over.

Under a tree in the forest ahead, a man and a woman were hugging and kissing each other. The woman's breasts were half exposed, her face was flushed, and her eyes were full of intoxication. The man was facing Yulan sideways, his pants were half taken off, revealing his white buttocks. When the two were in love, they didn't even notice that Yulan was so scared that she stood up and exposed half of her body.

It took Yulan a long time to react. She squatted down quickly and retreated quickly along the low grass.

Without bothering to dig wild vegetables, Yulan hurriedly ran to the village.

Du Wenxiu and her sister-in-law were walking slowly with two baskets full of bamboo shoots. When they heard something strange behind them, they turned around to look.

I saw that Yulan's face was flushed and she looked panic-stricken, as if she was frightened.

"What's wrong, sister Yulan?" Du Wenxiu hurriedly stopped her. Yulan seemed to have lost her soul. She grabbed Du Wenxiu's arm, her lips trembling and she couldn't speak. She looked like she was about to cry.

Du Wenxiu quickly put down the bamboo basket in her hand and patted her back gently. The child seemed to be frightened.

"Sister-in-law Fang Hai..." After a long while, she gradually calmed down. Tears instantly flowed from her eyes and she hugged Du Wenxiu and cried.

"Oh, Sister Yulan, what happened to you? Tell me, it's so worrying!" Qiao'er stamped her feet, anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

Du Wenxiu was hugged tightly by Yulan. She felt her shoulders suddenly get wet, but she couldn't push her away, so she had to let her be.

She was tired of crying, and then she slowly let go of Du Wenxiu. Her face was full of embarrassment, and she lowered her head to wipe away her tears.

"Okay, stop crying. Tell your sister-in-law if you have anything to say. You're standing next to us crying. If someone doesn't know, they would think I bullied you." Du Wenxiu smiled and joked with her. He didn't know what had happened to her that made her cry like that.

Yulan looked back and moved closer to Du Wenxiu.

"Sister Fang Hai..." Yulan stammered, and looked back again. "Just now... I saw... in the woods over there..."

She was weak to begin with, and her voice became even smaller in panic, almost inaudible. Qiao'er was standing farther away, and was anxious because she couldn't hear her, so she stepped forward a few steps and urged her to speak louder.

Yulan frowned, glanced at Qiao'er, and lowered her head again: "I will only tell Sister Fang Hai."

Qiao'er turned around angrily and stood ten feet away from her, tilting her head and not looking at her.

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. At worst, I can go back and ask my sister-in-law."

Yulan leaned towards Du Wenxiu again and whispered, "Sister Fang Hai, there are two people without clothes in the woods over there... in..."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red again.

Du Wenxiu was also frightened and couldn't help but tighten his grip on Yulan's hand.

Yulan cried out in pain, then she realized and quickly let go. "Do you recognize those two people?" she asked in a low voice.

Yulan hesitated for a moment and nodded.
