Transmigrated into a seven-year-old child, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.
Chapter 458 An Unexpected Discovery of Myrtle
After walking several hundred meters, Zhao Lian didn't find anything edible.
Just as she was about to turn around, a plant on the edge of the cliff came into view, with fruit hanging on it, looking just like a certain plant.
Zhao Lian took a closer look and her eyes lit up. She was excited. It was the wild myrtle!
This thing doesn't exist in Datian Village. In all the years she's been here, she's never found anything like it. She never expected to discover it today.
This myrtle tree doesn't look particularly big, about a meter tall, but it has over a hundred fruits on it, most of which are ripe and a deep reddish-purple.
This thing is called myrtle, or in some places it's called mountain bud. It's very sweet when it's ripe and really delicious.
However, eating too much of this can cause constipation and difficulty defecating. Zhao Lian ate a lot of this when she was a child and has experienced its taste.
Zhao Lian quickly stepped forward. Now she finally understood why no one had picked it. It turned out that it was growing on the opposite cliff. It looked close from a distance, but in fact, it was two mountains, more than ten meters apart.
Not only was there one myrtle tree, but Zhaolian counted more than ten in total. She looked around and saw none elsewhere, only that patch of trees.
Zhao Di, who had followed behind, saw Zhao Lian standing still and looked over in the direction she was looking. She immediately asked in surprise, "Sister, what kind of fruit is that over there? Is it edible?"
Zhao Lian exclaimed excitedly, "It's edible, and it tastes pretty good!"
Zhao Di muttered to herself, "If only we could pick it, but it's a pity it grows on the edge of a cliff."
Zhao Lian said confidently, "I'll give it a try, it should be fine." With that, Zhao Lian handed the things in her hand to Zhao Di.
Knowing that Zhao Lian was going to pick the fruit, Zhao Di became anxious: "Sister, should we just not go? This thing grows on the edge of a cliff, it's so dangerous."
"It's alright, just relax and wait to enjoy the fruit."
As Zhao Lian spoke, she suddenly gathered her breath, moved her body and leaped into the air. Her toes lightly touched the tree next to her, and with a little leverage, she instantly reached the edge of the opposite cliff.
There happened to be a rock protruding from the side, and Zhao Lian stepped on it and landed steadily, leaving Zhao Di dumbfounded in surprise.
She stared intently at Zhao Lian from across the room, barely daring to breathe or speak loudly, for fear of distracting Zhao Lian.
Zhao Lian had tried to teach her this skill, but she just couldn't learn it and had no choice but to give up in the end.
Zhao Lian stood on the stone and focused on picking wild raspberries. She hadn't eaten wild raspberries in a long time, so she quickly picked a big, sweet one and stuffed it into her mouth.
One bite and it bursts with sweetness and juice, still that sweet taste, exactly the same as when I was a child.
Zhao Lian ate several fruits before starting to pick more, picking one tree after another.
Without a bag, I had to put it all inside my chest.
If she couldn't reach them, she would simply step on another sapling for support. In less than half an hour, Zhao Lian had picked all the ripe fruit, stuffing her chest bulging.
When she returned, Zhao Lian stepped on the stone for leverage and instantly stood steadily in front of Zhao Di.
With a beaming smile, Zhao Lian took out a handful of fruit and handed it to Zhao Di: "Come on, second sister, try this fruit, it's delicious."
"Are you sure this fruit is edible?" Zhao Di hesitated, not daring to take it.
Zhao Lian raised an eyebrow: "Yes, I can eat them. I just ate several. If they were poisonous, they would have killed me long ago." After saying that, she put another one into her mouth.
Seeing Zhao Lian eating with relish, Zhao Di didn't hesitate any longer. She took the fruit, popped one into her mouth, chewed it, and her eyes immediately lit up.
"Mmm, this fruit is so sweet, it's delicious!"
Zhao Di ate one fruit after another, and soon finished the handful of fruit in her hand.
Zhao Di, still wanting more, swallowed hard and said, "Little sister, I'd like to eat a few more."
"No! Second sister, you can't eat anymore. This stuff is delicious, but you can't eat too much. It's not that I don't want you to have some, but eating too much of this stuff will make you poop. I have to take these back to everyone. Let's each have a little."
Zhao Di pouted and said, "Alright then!"
The two wandered around and found some wild vegetables. Just as they were about to go back, a squeaking sound caught Zhao Lian's attention.
"Second sister, did you hear anything?" Zhao Lian asked, tilting her ear to look at Zhao Di.
"I heard it, it sounds like there's a sound coming from the bushes over there." Zhao Di heard it too.
Zhao Lian looked in the direction Zhao Di pointed, and she also felt that the sound seemed to be coming from the grass, and that something was moving.
Zhao Lian mustered her courage and walked over.
Seeing that Zhao Lian wanted to go over and check, Zhao Di hurriedly pulled her back, saying, "Sister, you have to be careful. We don't know what's in there, or if it will bite!"
Zhao Lian looked relaxed and said playfully, "Second sister, don't worry, I'm not afraid at all. It would be even better if there were worms, then we could have meat to eat. If you're scared, just follow behind me."
As they got closer, the squeaking grew louder and louder. Judging from the sound, Zhao Lian felt it was a mouse.
If it's not a snake but a rat, that's fine too. Rat meat is delicious, and besides, there's not much to be picky about right now. As long as it's edible, I won't complain.
Zhao Lian, looking wary, picked up a stick and walked ahead, while Zhao Di followed behind in fear.
As they approached, something suddenly emerged from the bushes. Zhao Lian recognized it immediately—it was a gray rabbit.
Zhao Lian was overjoyed, thinking it was a mouse but it turned out to be a wild rabbit. She raised her stick and slammed it down, hitting the rabbit squarely on the head. The rabbit immediately fell to the ground, convulsed for a few seconds, and then passed out.
"Second sister, here you go!" Zhao Lian picked up the rabbit and handed it to Zhao Di.
"Ah! Such a big rat!" Zhao Di exclaimed in alarm.
Zhao Lian said helplessly, "Second sister, look carefully, this is a rabbit, not a mouse."
Zhao Di looked closely and realized it was indeed a rabbit. She scratched her head sheepishly and said, "Hehe, I thought it was a mouse, it's so big."
In the remaining grass, Zhao Lian found two more wet rabbits. These two rabbits were not dead, but their bellies were round and swollen, as if they were stuffed, and they were on the verge of death.
After observing the surroundings, Zhao Lian finally found the reason.
It turned out that the rain was too heavy yesterday, and the water flooded the rabbit's burrow. The rabbit didn't have time to escape and drank a lot of water.
Zhao Lian picked up the two rabbits, one in each hand, and laughed with satisfaction: "Hehe, now we have wild vegetables, fruits, and meat too. Second sister, let's go back and kill some rabbits."
"Great! Little sister, I haven't had meat in so long. I'm going to eat a couple more pieces later." Zhao Di's eyes lit up and her mouth watered as she mentioned meat.
