Tianjia Village is backed by Pinglin Mountain, which is why Pinglin County got its name.

Pinglin Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, spanning two prefectures, and the mountains are rich in resources.

At this time of year, the mountains and forests are not only full of fruits, but also have pleasant scenery.

Walking on the path in the woods, the air seems to be filled with the fragrance of trees.

Because it rained a few days ago, the forest was still a little wet. Tian Xiaochun walked in the front, constantly reminding the people following behind to be careful.

Since entering the forest, everyone's harvest has been a little unsatisfactory.

The route they took today was the route that the villagers usually took when going into the mountains.

They were not the only group of people in the village who went into the mountains to pick mushrooms and mountain products. Other women and children would also go into the mountains to get a share of the pie. Even people from several neighboring villages would come to Pinglin Mountain, so it was normal that they didn't get much along the way.

After wandering in the woods for more than half an hour, they only found a patch of pine mushrooms.

There were not many pine mushrooms, so each person only picked up a few.

Xiao Miao couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, "Alas, today's harvest is a little small!"

Changsheng was the youngest, and he puffed out his cheeks and followed suit.

"I'm afraid that everything around here has been picked up by the villagers, so it's not our turn yet."

Tietou glanced at Tian Xiaochun. He was only a few days younger than Tian Xiaochun, but whenever he was with Tian Xiaochun, it was Tian Xiaochun who made the decisions.

There is no way, strength determines the right to speak.

"Sister Xiaochun, how about we go deep into the forest today?"

"yes--"

Xiao Miao also agreed, "There's really nothing good out there. Sister Xiaochun, you often go into the mountains and you're familiar with the roads. Why don't you take us inside? Just in case we come across something good!"

Tian Xiaochun glanced at everyone, and when he saw his little sister looking at him with bright eyes and full of expectation, he spit out something in a rush.

"Okay, let's go deep into the mountains. But everyone must be careful. There are many wild animals in the mountains at this time of year. We must pay attention to safety. I must bring you back safely after I bring you out."

Changsheng and Xiaomiao cheered, obviously very happy.

In the past, when children of similar age went into the mountains together, they would stay on the outskirts of the shallow mountains and did not dare to go deep.

Now with Tian Xiaochun leading them, they can finally go into the mountains and broaden their horizons.

The two little ones chattered around Tian Xiaochun, calling her "Sister Xiaochun" one after another, wishing they could flatter her more.

As he was shouting, Changsheng discovered that Tian Xiaochun and the others were looking at him with strange eyes.

He stopped jumping, not knowing what was wrong with him.

"What are you guys looking at me for?"

Tian Xiaoman chuckled and explained Changsheng's confusion.

"Uncle, don't you feel awkward calling my second sister 'Sister Xiaochun' all the time? You dare to call her, but I'm afraid my second sister won't dare to respond."

Changsheng then realized that, yes, he was influenced by the girl Xiaomiao and actually called her "Sister Xiaochun" all the time.

Thinking about it now, I was really impulsive.

That’s not his sister Xiaochun, that’s his niece Xiaochun.

After this farce, everyone set out on their journey again.

Although they had been walking for more than half an hour, no one felt tired at all.

You know what, my luck was pretty good after entering the mountains.

We found a large patch of black fungus on the roots of an old tree, and a lot of white mushrooms in a poplar forest. Everyone had a great time picking them.

Tietou and Changsheng found some usable grass and dug them up and threw them into the basket.

The two of them usually followed their third grandfather around and learned some knowledge about medicinal materials from him.

Especially Tietou, Third Grandpa treated him as his successor. Ever since Tietou was old enough to understand, Third Grandpa taught him many medicinal herbs.

We walked and stopped along the way and found another jujube tree.

The jujube tree was located in a remote location, growing on the shady hillside. Apparently it had not been discovered by other people yet. There were many red jujubes on it. Everyone was very happy and swarmed around it.

You and I pick them one by one and put them in our mouths. The sweetness instantly spreads in our mouths.

After eating their fill, everyone put the food into their own baskets.

The wild jujube is something you can only encounter by chance.

If you can encounter it once, it is really luck, but you may not be able to encounter it next time.

Just when everyone was busy picking wild dates, a fluttering sound came from the grass behind the date tree.

Everyone was startled at first and turned around to look.

Tian Xiaoman had good eyesight. When she saw a pheasant with a colorful tail hiding in the grass, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ahhh! There's a pheasant!"

"Where is it? Where is it?"

Tian Xiaochun reacted the fastest. Almost the moment Tian Xiaoman finished speaking, he had already run towards the bushes.

The pheasant was frightened when it saw the stranger, and started to cluck, then trotted away, with its colorful tail swaying left and right, attracting the red-eyed Tian Xiaochun to chase it.

"Everyone came together to help. We caught the pheasant. Everyone who saw it got a share. Everyone came to my house to eat stewed chicken in the evening."

When Tian Danian is free, he will take a few children into the mountains.

Every time they went into the mountains, they would gain something, or at least bring back some game.

Although they are not big items, at least a pheasant, a snake, a rabbit or something can be hunted.

Although Tian Xiaochun did not learn his father's skills completely, he at least learned 60% to 70%.

Tian Xiaochun was very confident that he could catch the pheasant with a spotted tail.

Everyone quickly put down their baskets and came over to help capture the prey.

But the pheasant seemed to be trying to amuse everyone. It sometimes flew east, sometimes flew west, sometimes fluttered its wings, and sometimes tried to dive into the grass. In short, it was extremely difficult to catch.

Everyone was exhausted and panting, and just when Tian Xiaochun was about to give up, the pheasant with a spotted tail, either out of bad luck or carelessness, flapped its wings and crashed into the jujube tree.

Everyone: Can we still play like this?

The spotted-tailed pheasant turned around twice on the spot, and finally shook its wings and fell down.

"Quick! Kill it while it's sick! Now!"

Everyone ran over, afraid that if they ran too slowly, the pheasant they had caught would be gone!

Tian Xiaoman also wanted to rush over, but she was not careful under the cover of dry grass and her foot stepped on empty air.

At this time they were halfway up the mountain, which was originally a slope.

After Tian Xiaoman fell, he rolled down the slope.

"Sister Xiaoman——"

"Little sister——"
