An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Before Jing Chunxi could reply, he could only complain in his heart that Silang was also a nosy person.

Tao Jin: “I picked it up!”

This time it was Jing Chunxi's turn to be speechless, but the little dandy was used to keeping a stern face when speaking, and he had indeed blocked a lot of things for her. If he didn't answer, no one dared to ask them questions.

They first used some pine needles to pad the bottom. Jing Mingyue and Silang filled one basket, and Jing Chunxi and Tao Jin filled another. Before all the piles of mushrooms were filled, the two backpacks were full.

"Big Brother and Sugar Frosting, take the backpacks back first. You just fill the baskets and bamboo sticks! No more."

Dalang squatted down and picked up a basket. He thought the basket would be heavy, so he and Tang Shuang, two strong men, would carry it. But the mushrooms only took up space, not weight, so it didn't take much effort.

"Aren't you coming? It would be a shame not to pick up so many mushrooms." Heizi looked at the forest that was still halfway turned over and felt that he would not be able to carry all the mushrooms even if he came again.

"When you see people, tell them to come up and pick it up. Look, this is a big mountain, not all of it is covered with pine trees. It's better to leave some for those who need it."

Dalang's words made Jing Chunxi and Tao Jin look sideways. It was a very good point. Dalang was very kind-hearted, just like the old lady and Zhuang. It was a pity that he had once wanted to be a general, but now he had become a criminal. He didn't know if he would have another chance in the future.

Their whole family can eat and drink enough, and they can even have meat every two or three days. There is no need to rob all the good things. Other prisoners do not have such good conditions.

Heizi: "Brother Dalang, then you can call my mother."

"I understand, but we have to run into them first." Dalang agreed and asked Tangshuang to leave, and told them to be careful and go back quickly.

Except for Heizi who felt it was a bit of a pity, everyone else thought what Dalang said made sense. The mushrooms would grow again tomorrow after being picked, and there should be more to pick along the way. There was no need to worry about picking up one or two more baskets.

It’s really good if everyone can eat it.

Not long after Dalang and Tangshuang walked down, they called a lot of people up. Although Heizi's mother was not there, there were several of their group of prisoners.

Shi Lang saw them from a distance and immediately waved to them: "Here, here, come on, there are still a lot of mushrooms here."

Erlang and Saburo also said: "We can't pick them all up."

These words delighted the people who had followed them, and they ran even faster. They had always been lagging behind the others on the way up, and hadn't picked up many mushrooms. They were just thinking that the old woman and the waiter were cheating and were about to curse! But now, seeing such a large forest, and remembering that Dalang and Tangshuang had carried two large baskets down, they felt enlightened.

By the time a large number of people swarmed up, their three baskets were also full of mushrooms and they could no longer pick up any more.

"Let's go, that's enough, let's go back!" Jing Mingyue called out. Since her eldest brother was not here at the moment, it was natural for her to take care of her younger siblings.

Jing Mingyue, Erlang and Sanlang each carried a basket, while the others filled their bamboo sticks with mushrooms. Each of them carried two or three bamboo rings full of mushrooms and was not tired at all. Sanlang even hung the bamboo ring around his neck.

Silang ran over and put his bamboo sticks into his eldest sister's basket. "I won't go back yet. Let's see if I can get some bird eggs for my sister."

Heizi thought of his promise to Xiaotuanzi and followed suit by throwing the bamboo stick into Erlang's bamboo basket: "I promised my sister that I would catch a squirrel before returning."

After saying that, they rushed out one after the other. They must have discussed this long ago. Tao Jin was so angry that his teeth were itching. He shouted at the traitor: "If you can't catch the pine tree, you don't have to come back."

"Don't worry! We will definitely catch you." The voice had long since drifted away, like a caged bird being released back into the forest, never to return.

Jing Mingyue was not too worried about their safety, and did not ask them to turn back. There were more people on the mountain than wild animals. The mountain was nothing but forest and soil, with no cliffs or anything, and not even many rocks.

But he still shouted from a distance: "Come back soon."

A voice came back from far away: "I know." There were actually two or three responses, which sounded very pleasant.

"Cousin Xi! Why did you only pick up so little?" Suddenly a voice and a figure rushed to her side. However, Jing Chunxi met many people along the way, so she was not scared.

Looking up, it was Jing Mingxin who invited them to go out and pick mushrooms. She was thirteen years old, but only half a head taller than Jing Chunxi. Her face was a bit flat and big, and she looked very honest.

Jing Mingrong, who was three years younger than her, also ran over with her. She was more lively and had two dimples when she smiled, just like a child. However, because she was not familiar with Jing Chunxi, she did not dare to get close to him. Instead, she walked with Jing Mingyue behind her.

The two sisters actually picked up quite a few mushrooms, each of which was strung together with a thin branch of varying lengths. However, seeing that each of them had six or seven full bunches in their hands, it was considered a good harvest, much more than what the tribesmen who had just run up had picked up.

Jing Chunxi was a little uncomfortable with this distant cousin who suddenly approached him so warmly, but he didn't admit that he had picked up too little, so he could only answer truthfully: "Our cousin carried it back first."

Jing Mingxin didn't wait for her to continue speaking, and started talking to herself: "The cook said that the brighter the mushrooms, the better they taste. Eating them is very nourishing. You can take this bunch back. It's best to cook it for everyone tonight. She said that eating it will give you strength to walk."

Jing Chunxi didn't want any of it. He had picked far more than the two sisters, and there were a lot of people at home waiting for their mushrooms to arrive! If he picked less, he'd probably get scolded.

She didn't need to take advantage of others, so she kept pushing and shoving: "It's not easy for you to pick it up, keep it and eat it yourself when you go back."

"Cousin Xi, do you dislike us? I know, our family..."

What's wrong with this elder sister? As she spoke, tears began to flow. Her big face looked like a big white flower as the tears flowed. She was not at all like the cheerful, straightforward and frank people in the General's Mansion. Jing Chunxi didn't like her very much.

Jing Chunxi was helpless: "How could it be? I didn't!"

There are mushrooms all over the ground. If there are not enough, she can just pick more. Why should she owe you a favor?

"We really brought back a lot, but you might not have enough to eat." Jing Mingyue saw the two of them pushing each other from behind and felt it was unnecessary. She couldn't help but speak up to help her cousin, and then pointed to the bamboo baskets in the hands of the three of them, indicating that her family had enough.

But Jing Mingxin was still a little reluctant, as if Jing Chunxi would feel uncomfortable if he didn't take her, as if he looked down on her.

Jing Chunxi felt that it was no use to continue pestering her. There was really no need for that. The other person came to him with good intentions, and he couldn't get angry and walk away immediately.

After all, they hadn't done anything to provoke me. Thinking about it, I felt that it wasn't a valuable thing, and I wouldn't feel much gratitude for taking it anyway.

Jing Chunxi reluctantly took the mushrooms from the branch, still smiling: "Okay, thank you."

Jing Chunxi didn't like that family, but what those men did wouldn't implicate the two little girls. Jing Chunxi could see that they were being bullied by their own brothers and cousins ​​these days. They were almost the same age and were related, so the little sister just wanted to get closer to them and show them some warmth.

Seeing Jing Chunxi finally took his mushroom, the elder sister seemed very happy and did not stay any longer. She turned around and grabbed Jing Mingrong and ran away, and continued to run towards the mountain.

"I don't know what these two sisters mean. They obviously haven't picked up enough, but they still want to come down with us. Now they are tired and have to run up again. Don't they feel tired?" Jing Mingyue complained in confusion. She was not familiar with these two people. If they were not exiled, they were just acquaintances.
