My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

Busy times fly by.

As the sun began to set, the intense heat gradually subsided, and a thin mist rose over the mountains.

Yang Fenglan and Shen Yu also had a fruitful day and returned to the road they had come from.

Both baskets were heavy, but Shen Yu walked briskly ahead.

Yang Fenglan followed behind with a blank expression.

That afternoon, Shen Yu found quite a few things.

She also used that afternoon to verify something terrifying—the lucky charm's good fortune was linked to her.

First, Shen Yu successfully found the rabbit burrow and caught two little gray rabbits inside.

Then, when Yang Fenglan put the little rabbit into the basket, the bamboo strips of the basket poked her palm. Seeing blood was nothing compared to the fact that the thing went into her flesh and it hurt terribly.

Later, Shen Yu spotted a wild peach tree in the bushes, which was entangled by various vines and looked like it was about to die.

The tree wasn't growing well, with only a few peaches hanging on it.

Fearing that Shen Yu would think she hadn't done any work and wouldn't let her distribute the materials, Yang Fenglan immediately volunteered to climb the tree and pick peaches.

They were picked perfectly.

but!

There was another big, red one right next to me, but I just couldn't reach it.

Unwilling to give up, Yang Fenglan climbed up another tree trunk and reached out to grab the peach.

After a great deal of effort, I finally got the peach.

Before I could even feel smug, I heard a "crack" and the small tree trunk beneath my feet snapped.

Yang Fenglan hurriedly grabbed the tree branch above, but the branch was too small and could not support her weight at all.

She just fell from the tree.

My body wasn't injured, but my fragile heart was.

"It's a coincidence, absolutely a coincidence," Yang Fenglan comforted herself.

Shen Yu said, "This tree is dying and can't bear any weight. It's only a matter of time before it breaks."

"..."

Then, Yang Fenglan spotted a Chinese toon tree with tender buds growing on it.

Since it's edible, we can't let it go.

Pickle them all into salted vegetables, and stock up on as much as you can.

"Xiaoyu, wait a moment." Yang Fenglan put the basket aside, spat some saliva into her palm, and rubbed her hands together.

He took a running start, then jumped up and climbed the tree.

This ailanthus tree was shorter than the previous one, had more branches, and was also sturdier than the peach tree. Yang Fenglan hugged it and shook it a few times without any problems, so she became even bolder.

"Xiaoyu, quickly pick up all the toon leaves." After picking all the tender leaves from the tree and throwing them on the ground, Yang Fenglan jumped down from the tree trunk triumphantly.

She's made a contribution, so when the rabbit is sold, she has a reason to take half of it.

But... why are my hands so itchy, and my neck is itchy too.

Yang Fenglan scratched her neck a few times, but it didn't help, so she asked Shen Yu to check if there were any bugs on her neck.

Yang Fenglan will never forget the look on Shen Yu's face when he looked at her; he clearly thought she was a fool.

"You have red spots on your neck." Shen Yu said calmly, "Those are lacquer tree leaves, not Chinese toon tree leaves. You can't touch lacquer trees, but lacquer tree leaves are edible, so you've already picked them."

Shen Yu picked up all the lacquer tree leaves and put them into her basket.

Yang Fenglan trembled.

Walnut leaves, lacquer tree leaves, and toon leaves—the tender leaves look like triplets; it's indeed difficult for those who don't see them often to tell them apart.

"I told you not to look for trouble when you have nothing better to do." Yang Fenglan wanted to slap herself, but then she was afraid that she would get pimples on her face.

As soon as something is found, a series of unfortunate events follow.

Shen Yu, on the other hand, was completely unharmed.

coincidence?

Yang Fenglan didn't believe in superstitions. On her way down the mountain, she saw movement in the grass and hid behind Shen Yu. "Xiao Yu, there's something over there. Go take a look?"

Shen Yu rolled her eyes at her and strode forward.

Yang Fenglan could almost foresee a snake as thick as an arm suddenly popping its head out.

But the result...

Shen Yu parted the bushes, and inside were two pheasants in heat, doing something rather shameful.

Good guy!

Shen Yu got two at once!

Yang Fenglan was so angry that she pounded her chest and stamped her feet: I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced!
