Su Miaomiao couldn't help but feel a little surprised when Zhang Xing said the word "in vain".

These two words are dialects from the Northeast region.

It means pity, waste.

Sometimes it is also used to describe doing useless and meaningless things.

Maybe it's because she has been speaking Northeastern dialect recently and has lost Zhang Xing's accent.

Su Miaomiao said.

"It's worth it. This is a gift from nature. If we don't pick it today, it may be old and inedible tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. So we should take it back whenever we see it. If we can't finish it, we can try to sell it or give it to others. It's better than letting it rot in the mountains. In Ningguta, having enough food is more important than anything else."

Zhang Xing listened and nodded in agreement.

"Sister-in-law is right, let's pick them quickly and take them back!"

In the following time, the two people chatted while working.

During this period, Su Miaomiao took advantage of Zhang Xing going to the toilet and put some of the picked ferns into the space.

It took them more than forty minutes from the beginning to the end of picking all the ferns.

After picking, Su Miaomiao was so tired that she sat on the ground with her legs stretched out, looking up at the sky.

She didn't realize it when she watched the video before, but now that she tried it herself, she found that mountain running is too tiring.

After picking ferns for a while, she felt sore in her back and neck.

"Are you tired, sister-in-law?"

Seeing Zhang Xing handing the water over, Su Miaomiao reached out to take it.

She nodded.

"Yeah, I'm pretty tired." Su Miaomiao saw that Zhang Xing was in much better condition than her, so she asked in confusion, "Aren't you tired?"

"I'm fine. Not that tired. I always went up the mountain with my master to collect herbs. I'm used to it."

Zhang Xing said in a light tone.

In fact, there was one thing he didn't say. Not only did he often go up the mountain with his master to collect herbs, but his master's residence was originally deep in the mountains, and his master had always lived a life isolated from the world.

The number of people who can find a master in this world can be counted on one hand, and he is one of them.

I just don’t know how the master is doing now, and I don’t know if he will have the chance to see the master again in this life.

"You look so thin, but I didn't expect you to have such good stamina."

Su Miaomiao's words brought him back from the sadness of thinking about his master, and Zhang Xing responded with a smile.

"I am thin because I didn't have enough food when I was a child, which hurt my body. As a result, no matter how I take care of myself after I grow up or how much good food I eat, I can't gain weight."

If it were modern times, a physique that allows one to eat whatever they want without gaining weight would definitely be envied by many people.

But Su Miaomiao saw sadness in Zhang Xing's eyes at this moment.

Su Miaomiao asked tentatively.

"Did you have a bad childhood?"

"Well, it's all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore. Sister-in-law, you take a rest for a while. I'll go take a look around."

Zhang Xing obviously didn't want to continue talking about his childhood, so Su Miaomiao agreed.

"Okay, go ahead. I'll sit here and wait for you."

After Zhang Xing left, Su Miaomiao secretly put some ferns into the space.

She was worried that Zhang Xing would find out, so she didn't dare put too much.

She rested for a while, then got up and put the picked ferns piled on the ground into her backpack.

They only had one backpack, and it was soon full.

There are still some left on the ground.

She had no choice but to roll the grass into a rope, pack the remaining bracken with the rope, and then divide it into two parts and tie them together, preparing to carry them on a piece of wood later.

After a while, Zhang Xing came back with an excited look on his face.

"Look, sister-in-law, I picked some Ganoderma lucidum!"

Su Miaomiao walked over quickly, took a look and said in surprise.

"It's really Ganoderma lucidum. There really is a treasure on this mountain."

"Yes, sister-in-law, smell it, it smells so good. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen fresh Ganoderma lucidum. This Ganoderma lucidum is so precious. Sister-in-law, I will go up the mountain to collect herbs every day in the future!"

"Okay, as long as you're happy. I'm done resting. Shall we continue up the mountain? Or should we go down the mountain right away?"

Su Miaomiao asked Zhang Xing for his opinion. Zhang Xing had just picked the Ganoderma lucidum and was still excited. He wanted to stay on the mountain forever to see if there were any unexpected surprises.

But he took Su Miaomiao's physical condition into consideration, he said.

"I'm fine with either. If you're tired, let's just go down the mountain. If you can still hold on, let's walk up the mountain. I think the higher we go up the mountain, the more good things we'll find."

Su Miaomiao saw that Zhang Xing wanted to continue walking up the mountain just like her, so she made a decision immediately.

"Okay, then let's continue up the mountain and set off!"

"Okay, let's go!"

After the two people made the decision, they couldn't help but feel worried when they saw the full basket of ferns.

Zhang Xing proposed.

"How about leaving these ferns here first and picking them up when we go down the mountain?"

Su Miaomiao was worried that these things would be lost, and that she wouldn't be able to find them when she returned.

She hesitated and nodded.

"Okay, let's find a place to hide."

Then, the two men found a fallen tree. They hid all the ferns in the deeper grass behind the tree, and then set off again with the backpacks on their backs.

Zhang Xing kept following her, and Su Miaomiao had no way to do anything, so she could only leave it like this for now.

The two encouraged each other and continued walking up the mountain.

After a while, Su Miaomiao heard a prompt sound.

"Ding, Chaga mushroom found."

She followed the system's instructions to find the chaga mushroom, and just like last time, Zhang Xing used a kitchen knife to cut the chaga mushroom off the tree.

This piece of chaga was bigger and better than the one they had picked before.

They continued walking up the mountain, and after a few steps they heard the prompt tone again.

"Ding, Chaga mushrooms are found ahead."

"Ding, Chaga mushrooms are found ahead."

"Ding, Chaga mushrooms are found ahead."

In an area of ​​less than 20 square meters, three pieces of Chaga were discovered one after another.

Su Miaomiao and Zhang Xing were so surprised that they immediately cut the birch mushrooms and put them in the backpack without saying a word.

After that, they became luckier and luckier, and the prompt sounds kept ringing.

"Ding, Chaga mushrooms are found ahead."

"Ding, wild strawberries found ahead."

"Ding, Guan Huangbo is spotted ahead."

"Ding, Zhimu found ahead."

......

After collecting several kinds of medicinal herbs in succession, Zhang Xing felt like he was injected with chicken blood.

He said this while he was busy picking herbs.

"I didn't expect there are so many good things in the deep mountains. I love this place so much. If my master knew there were so many good things in Ningguta, he would definitely travel through mountains and rivers to come here to collect herbs."

Su Miaomiao and Zhang Xing picked whatever they saw. For many medicinal herbs, if they found one, they could find several around it.

The feeling of picking up something for free is so great. As soon as Su Miaomiao saw something good, her waist and legs no longer felt sore and she was focused on picking it up.

"Ding, a wild girl was spotted ahead."

"Ding, gentian found ahead."

"Ding, thorn sprouts found ahead."

"Ding, Zhimu found ahead."

At this moment, Su Miaomiao was having a lot of fun digging herbs when suddenly she heard a system prompt.

"Ding, a Siberian tiger spotted ahead."

What?

What the hell?

Siberian tiger?

Su Miaomiao's scalp suddenly felt tingling and goose bumps appeared all over her body.

She quickly pulled Zhang Xing who was beside her.

"Stop digging, run, there's a wild Siberian tiger coming."

"What?"

"Shh, don't ask any more questions. Run quickly. If we don't run, we will become snacks for the Siberian tiger. Be careful and don't alarm it."
