For several days, the sky was gloomy and it rained continuously, and it cleared up yesterday. The dirt road to the mountain, after a day of exposure to the sun, the originally soft soil became hard and compacted again.

Song Ran planned to go into the mountains to pick some wild mushrooms in the morning before it was too hot. After the rain and dew in the past few days, there would be a lot of mushrooms in the mountains. She planned to take the wild mushrooms she picked and the ones that grew in the bamboo baskets at home to the city to sell.

There are not many ways to save money, so now she has to save money to buy winter wheat seeds.

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door.

"The village chief asked me to go to the temple."

Just as Song Ran put on the backpack, he heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, the postman had already run away.

At this time, Grandma Gu from next door also opened the door, stuck her head out, and muttered, "Really? I said I would go to the fields while it's still cool in the morning."

On the way to the temple, I met many people who had the same complaints as Grandma Gu. They were carrying pig grass that they had cut early in the morning, and the dew on the pig grass seeped through the baskets and soaked their clothes.

The fields and mountains were filled with morning mist, and the dirt road leading to the hall was also shrouded in morning mist. Song Li held her sister's hand and tried her best to absorb the moisture in the morning mist.

There are three ways to improve supernatural powers, among which the best water sources are: spiritual springs in the mountains, ancient pools in the abyss, and fog that interacts with all things.

The villagers of Lihua Village felt strange that the fog dissipated exceptionally quickly today and the sun hadn't risen yet.

More and more people came to the hall from all directions, and everyone was whispering about what happened. When Song Li and the others arrived at the hall, it was already crowded with people.

Grandma Gu walked a little slower. When she arrived at the entrance of the hall, she saw Song Li and the other man sitting under the old locust tree outside the hall. "I told you to go first, why didn't you come closer?"

"There are too many people. We can't squeeze in. We can only wait for them to disperse and ask the people inside." Song Ran said as he tapped the stone beside him, motioning for Grandma Gu to sit down.

Grandma Gu sat down, looked at the backpacks and bamboo baskets on the ground, and asked, "Are you planning to go into the mountains?"

Song Ran nodded: "Yes, let's see if we can pick up some mountain products."

Grandma Gu smiled and said, "Very good, mountain products nourish the body. Li'er has just recovered from a serious illness, so she needs to be nourished. Do you remember where the mushrooms you gave me that day were? I feel like I haven't eaten anything so delicious in the past few decades."

"I have to look carefully. There were few people walking in the place I went that day. After the rain, the grass in some places is probably half waist high."

The two chatted casually, Song Li leaned on her sister to take a nap, and released her supernatural power silently and invisibly. She can now sense the plants within a hundred meters around her, and she has collected all the plants around her home. Today, she changed the place and there are many fresh plants. However, the flowers and plants in the village are just appetizers, and what awaits her in the mountains is a feast.

"What's wrong with me getting divorced today!" a loud shout came from the hall.

The originally noisy scene became even more chaotic, and people who were chatting outside stretched their necks and looked inside curiously.

"What's wrong? Can you see it? It sounds like Yang Baiyu's voice." Grandma Gu asked Song Ran anxiously while he was standing on the stone pier.

"I can't see it. Xiaoguai, take a look at who is inside." Song Ran put Song Li on the locust tree so that she could see more clearly.

Song Li looked around the room and only remembered two people. "They were the ones who caused trouble at our house last time."

"Zhu Ximei?" Song Ran asked doubtfully.

Song Li shook her head. "No, that old man who was fishing."

"Oh, that's Yang Bailan and Li Mingping." Grandma Song Gu understood instantly.

There were sounds of quarreling and crying coming from the hall. The people outside were extremely anxious. They stood on tiptoe, stretched their necks, and some even climbed up the old locust tree.

Such lively scenes are rare, and people always like to seek out lively scenes in order to make their after-dinner conversation more colorful.

The crowd gradually dispersed, those inside went outside, and those outside rushed inside.

"My old sister." Grandma Gu grabbed an old woman in the crowd, and Song Ran and the other two followed.

"Old sister, why didn't I see you just now?" The old woman looked anxious and stopped when she saw it was Grandma Gu.

"Oh, I'm late. What was said inside just now? I thought it was Yang Bailan's voice."

"Oh, you don't know!" The old woman made an exaggerated expression and then began to speak vividly.

The old woman spoke without a break. The expressions of Grandma Gu and Song Ran were the best compliments of the story, with frowns or surprises and occasional "tsk tsk" sounds. Song Li, who was standing by, dozed off while listening. These people spent half an hour talking about something that could have been said in two sentences.

Time in the village is long and boring. If something new happens, it will be brought out and chewed over and over again with embellishment.

What happened today was even more incredible for the people of Lihua Village: Yang Bailan proposed a divorce. My goodness, even divorces were rare in Lihua Village, but Yang Bailan took out a divorce letter directly in the hall, and it was said that the letter was written by the eldest son-in-law.

Now, besides the people of Lihua Village, people from other villages probably also knew about it. Li Heping and his three sons were so embarrassed that they ran out of the crowd, leaving Yang Bailan alone in the hall to complain. Yang Bailan poured out all the bitterness of her life, but no one understood why she suddenly wanted to divorce after enduring for so long and now that half of her body was almost buried in the ground?

"Oh my God, the village chief called everyone here just for this matter? Can he do justice for Yang Bailan?" Grandma Gu asked in surprise.

"That's not the case. I saw the village chief's face was red with anger. I guess he will be teased by people from other villages when he goes out to talk about this."

"Then why did he gather everyone here?"

"Oh, someone in the city was supposed to collect mushrooms, but Yang Bailan came out and messed things up."

"Collecting mushrooms?" Song Ran asked.

"That's right. Some people from the city want to buy mushrooms, but they will pay a lot of money for good quality ones. I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go into the mountains to take a look." After the old woman said this, she disappeared into the crowd like a puff of smoke.

When Song Ran heard about collecting mushrooms, his eyes lit up. It was like a pillow for me when I feel sleepy.

Grandma Gu clapped her hands and said, "Oh, there is such a good thing. It seems that I have to go into the mountains. Ran'er, you go first. I will go home to get some tools. You go directly to the place where you dug last time, so that no one can find it first."

Many people came to Wushan today. People who usually stayed in the fields or at home went into the mountains after hearing the news of mushroom harvesting.

The person walking in front trampled the road again and took away the dewdrops left on the grass.

Song Ran looked at the weeds that had been trampled into the mud in front of him and his dry trouser legs, and he became more and more anxious.

Song Li could hardly keep up with her elder sister's pace with her short legs. Recently, her elder sister started to save eggs and not eat them. In the past few days, her elder sister had been staring at Wushan and was about to enter Wushan. She thought about it for a long time before she realized that her elder sister did all this for money!

What is money? In this land, money is copper coins, silver, and gold. In Song Li's eyes, these useless dead things can be exchanged for food and solid houses. It's a pity that she has wood-related abilities. If she had gold-related abilities, she could directly help her sister solve her problems.

But there was still one question she hadn't thought through clearly. Her sister went into the mountains to find food, sold the food she found, and used the money to buy more food.

It's a really complicated question.

Song Ran and his companion walked to the fork in the road they had come from last time, and saw that the fresh grass on the path leading inside had been trampled and bent a lot.

"It looks like someone went in first."

Song Ran felt a little lost, but she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. After all, if her younger sister hadn't been there, she wouldn't have been able to find the mushrooms last time.

She walked quickly toward the path, and at this moment two figures emerged from the woods.

Before the person could be seen clearly, the woman's voice could be heard: "Fortunately, I was careful last time and went back to find the footprints and mark them that night, otherwise I would not be able to find them this time."
