In the book, I was fed by my sister

Chapter 12: Going into the mountains to collect goods

Li Sanwan and his wife Wu Dongmei walked out of the woods.

Wu Dongmei had a small basket of picked mushrooms in her arms. When she saw Song Ran, she raised the basket proudly and said, "Sister Song Ran, the place where you searched for mushrooms last time was a great place. Look, I picked such a big basket today. Take your time to search. I'll go down first."

Song Ran felt a little sad, but she didn't know what to say. After all, Wushan was not her home, and things in the mountain were on a first-come, first-served basis.

She forced a smile and responded, "Yes, sister-in-law is really lucky."

Song Li looked at her lost sister and felt bad. She pulled her sister's hand and said softly, "Sister, let's go somewhere else."

She wanted to go up and grab it directly, but unfortunately she had to act like a child now.

However, she intended to give a small punishment to the person who made her unhappy. She used her special power, and the couple Li Sanwan, who were dozens of meters away, tripped over the grass and fell heavily. The mushrooms in Wu Dongmei's arms were crushed to pieces.

As for elder sister's search for mushrooms, if she went deeper into the forest, she would have plenty of ways to help elder sister find more mushrooms.

The deeper you go into the mountains, the more lush the vegetation becomes. Every pore of Song Li is absorbing the abundant wood spirit. She absorbs and improves her supernatural powers silently like a sponge.

At the same time, I also followed my sister to learn about plants. It is also important to identify the edible things in this world.

In the end times, some seemingly harmless plants are actually highly poisonous, and only those extremely ferocious plants are edible.

Based on what she has learned about the plants here during this period, she found that the plants here will not attack people, but may be poisonous.

Song Li asked as she walked, saying that she could eat whatever she saw or pointed at, but not all of it.

For example, the trees you see can be eaten, but only the buds can be eaten, and they are the tender buds that grow in spring. They will become bitter after spring is over.

Another example is flowers. Although some can be coated with egg liquid and fried and eaten, for some others only the honey inside can be eaten.

Song Li picked one, licked it, and it was indeed a little sweet.

She also picked a bunch of wild grapes, which were so sour that her little face wrinkled up.

Song Ran was amused and his unhappy mood was swept away. "We have to wait a little longer. Grapes are sweet in July." After saying that, he handed over two honeysuckle flowers. Song Li chewed them and her mouth was filled with a fresh floral fragrance.

"Sister, this one looks like Lao Huang in our house." Song Li pointed to a group of pheasants in the distance and said. Lao Huang was the old hen they raised at home. Because of their sudden arrival, the pheasants were startled and fluttered around.

"This is a pheasant." Song Ran explained with a smile.

"Pheasants? Can they lay eggs?" Song Li asked curiously. After all, pheasants look exactly like Lao Huang at home.

"The one just now was a male and couldn't lay eggs. If we had brought wheat out, maybe we could have caught it. The pheasant soup is so delicious." Song Ran replied with a smile.

Song Li originally only knew that Lao Huang could lay eggs, but she didn't expect that it could be eaten.

She immediately activated her special power, and in a place where Song Ran couldn't see, the weeds in the ground seemed to come alive and tightly tied up the pheasant that had just flown over.

The entangled pheasant flapped its wings, stirring up circles of dust.

"What happened?"

Song Ran walked towards the dusty place, pulled aside the grass, and saw four pheasants trapped in a pile of weeds.

She suppressed her exclamation and carefully approached the group of pheasants. She deftly twisted wild grass into ropes, tied the chickens' feet, folded their wings, and strung four pheasants together like a bunch of fruit.

Song Li looked at her elder sister's frowned brows because she couldn't find any mushrooms, and then her brows relaxed. It turned out that pheasants could wipe away her elder sister's sorrow.

She mobilized her special powers, and within a radius of 100 meters, her special powers invaded every inch of land and swept every dead leaf.

Unfortunately, we didn’t find many pheasants, but we did find quite a few wild mushrooms sleeping in the soil or hiding under dead leaves.

The wood-related ability is like a pair of thick big hands, picking up the mushrooms sleeping in the soil, and then slowly injecting a trace of wood spirit from the bottom of the mushrooms.

"Sister, there's a huge pile of dead leaves over there. I'll go take a look." Song Li said excitedly, and she stretched out her short legs and started running.

Song Ran was so scared that he exclaimed and followed behind: "Little cutie! Slow down!"

Song Ran held a wooden stick in his hand, and he would sweep and poke the road ahead with the stick before taking each step.

One is the fear of snakes, and the other is the fear of hunting pits dug by farmers.

The little sister let go of the corners of her clothes. She was just immersed in the joy of catching the pheasant, but her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

"Sister, look, is this a mushroom? Can it be eaten?" She is not yet able to communicate with plants, and cannot tell whether the plants she cultivates are poisonous or not.

She had just explored her special ability and found that there were about ten kinds of mycelium. The one in her hand was completely different from the one she had eaten last time. The mushrooms this time were black and thick.

Song Ran steadied his breath and took a closer look: "Isn't this a big-foot mushroom?"

Although the name is not nice, it is very delicious.

Big feet? Song Li felt disgusted and raised her hand to throw it into the bushes.

"Hey, it's edible!" Song Ran caught the big-foot mushroom that was thrown out with one hand. It was so big that it felt heavy in his hand.

"You can stew it with rice, cut it thickly and roast it, or stir-fry it with bacon. It's so delicious. You almost threw away a good thing, you fool."

Song Li could hear the joy in her elder sister's tone. It seemed that although the mushroom did not look good and had a nice name, it would sell for a lot of money, so she was happy too.

She had recently learned from a casual conversation between her elder sister and Grandma Gu that her elder sister was only sixteen years old. In terms of actual life span, she was actually a few years older than her elder sister.

This made her feel ashamed every time her elder sister asked her about her well-being.

She was now so weak that she could not be of much help in daily work.

Now that she could find something to earn money for the family, she felt a little better about the guilt.

Every blade of grass in the forest could cleverly lend strength to Song Li, allowing her to climb up hills and trees like a fish in water.

"Sister, can these mushrooms be eaten?" Song Li found patches of white-gray mushrooms on a tree that was so thick that it took three people to hug it.

Song Ran was busy picking mushrooms. Hearing the call, he looked up at his little sister standing on the tree and said, "Yes! This is Pleurotus ostreatus. Come down first. I'll come over to pick some after I finish my work here."

Song Li gently touched the tree trunk with her hand, and all the Pleurotus ostreatus on the tree fell off. She jumped down from the tree and put the Pleurotus ostreatus on the ground into the basket.

"Sister, my basket can't hold more." Song Li was carrying a basket full of Pleurotus ostreatus and she took off her coat to make a cloth bag to fill it.

Song Ran looked at Song Li like this and couldn't help laughing: "You naughty boy, why did you take off your coat? Don't do that again in the future."

Song Ran just thought that Song Li was too young to understand the differences between men and women. She didn't know that Song Li had not formed concepts about these things that were in line with the times.

In the end times, most people were naked. Song Li had seen too many men and women exposing parts of their bodies in order to get a bite to eat while on their way back to the city.

Song Ran neatly stacked the mushrooms wrapped in his clothes into the backpack, and then shook out the clothes and put them back on Song Li. "It will take a lot of effort to carry this big backpack back. Let's find some food in the mountains to fill our stomachs before going home."

There are many foods in the mountains. Song Ran folded a few leaves into a bowl and placed it under the beehive to get some honey. "This is a bee. Bees are gentle and will lie densely on the beehive."

"Sister, let's not eat this, let's eat something else." Song Li was terrified and pulled Song Ran's clothes back.

Aren’t these killer bees? If these things go crazy and attack them, she doesn’t have the ability to deal with them for the time being.

"Little darling, squat here and watch your sister."

Song Li was on full alert, staring at her sister's figure, and all the leaves nearby stood up like sharp knives.

Song Ran turned back again, and saw a large piece of beehive wrapped in leaves. "Why are you sweating so much? Xiaoguai, let's go quickly. The large group of bees have been driven away by the smoke and will be back soon."

The two men stopped when they reached a pond on the mountain. There were dense reeds growing around the pond, and Song Ran stepped on a patch of reeds and sat down on the ground.

Song Ran broke off a piece of beeswax and mixed it with the wild fruits he had picked earlier. The wild fruits mixed with honey were sweet and juicy, and Song Li took a bite, and the juice flowed through the gaps between her fingers.

"How's it going? It's delicious!"

Song Li nodded and felt a deep admiration for her sister, who even dared to face the killer bees head-on.

After they finished eating the fruit, Song Ran cut some reeds and gently covered the mushrooms. The sun was scorching at noon, and she was afraid that the mushrooms would wilt. As a result, she opened the reeds and found a lot of wild duck eggs inside.

Song Ran smiled happily and said to Song Li, "It's really worth going into the mountains this time. Let's see if we can pick some wild onions on the way down. We can make some wild onion scrambled eggs tonight."
