This rat snake weighs about three pounds, and the silver-ringed snake also weighs about three or four pounds.

Because she only had two bags with her, Zhao Lian put the two snakes in one bag. She was worried that the two snakes would fight and that the banded krait would eat the rat snake.

There's nothing we can do now but put them together. They were quite docile when we caught them, anyway.

It barely moves when it's inside the sack, but I don't know if something unexpected might happen at night.

After catching the snakes, Zhao Lian came out and then saw some chanterelle mushrooms elsewhere. They were golden yellow and looked so beautiful that Zhao Lian couldn't resist picking some more.

It was almost noon, and everyone else had probably gone home. Zhao Lian sat under the tree for a while, resting and eating steamed buns.

The two snake bags were tied around her waist. The bags containing the two snakes didn't seem to be making any big movements, so Zhao Lian felt relieved.

After eating the steamed buns, Zhao Lian took another stroll on the mountain and eventually found some more wood ear mushrooms and fungi. She filled her basket to the brim before heading down the mountain.

Although the basket was full, it wasn't actually very heavy, probably only about ten pounds. Zhao Lian felt it was light and airy when she carried it, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

Although it wasn't much, Zhao Lian was still worried that the mushrooms underneath would be crushed.

And with the temperature so high now, we need to hurry back and dry all these mushrooms.

Because her basket was full of things and she was going downhill, Zhaolian walked relatively slowly. Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her.

When Zhao Lian turned around, she found that it was actually her second uncle He Zhu, her third uncle He Shu, and her father He Mu.

The three of them were also carrying baskets on their backs, which didn't look heavy, so there probably wasn't much in the baskets.

The He brothers were envious as they looked at the little man in front of them, whose basket was full of things.

Suddenly realizing that it was none other than Zhao Lian, He Zhu exclaimed excitedly, "Big brother, look! The person in front is Zhao Lian, and her basket is full of good things!"

"It really is!" He Shu immediately became excited. Today, his mother had sent the three brothers up the mountain to see if they could find some mushrooms.

But who knew they arrived too late? All the good stuff had already been picked by others, and after wandering around for a long time, there wasn't much left.

Seeing that Zhao Lian was carrying so many good things, the two of them had another idea.

He Zhu and He Shu quickened their pace to catch up with Zhao Lian: "Zhao Lian, wait for your second and third uncles." He Mu quickly followed the two of them.

Fearing they might knock her down and send her tumbling down the mountain, Zhao Lian stopped and turned to stand aside.

Seeing that Zhao Lian had stopped, the two of them were even happier. They hadn't expected that Zhao Lian would actually wait for them.

It seems that Zhao Lian still regards them as her second and third uncles.

If Zhao Lian knew what they were thinking, she would probably burst out laughing.

Seeing Zhao Lian stop, these two really took advantage of her kindness. He Zhu walked up to Zhao Lian first and smiled: "Zhao Lian, wow~ your basket is full of good things, it must be quite heavy, let your second uncle help you."

As he spoke, He Zhu reached out to take Zhao Lian's basket, but Zhao Lian had already anticipated this move and turned around.

He Zhu missed his target and almost fell, breaking out in a cold sweat.

This is halfway down a mountain, and I'm going downhill. If I accidentally tumble down, it won't just be a matter of losing an arm or a leg; I could lose my life in a heartbeat.

When Zhao Lian saw He Zhu miss his target and almost fall, she secretly chuckled to herself, but she didn't show it on her face.

With an innocent and naive look, she said, "Thank you, but I can carry this weight myself, so I won't trouble you."

It seemed she hadn't done it on purpose. He Zhu suppressed her anger and continued to smile, "Look how heavy your back is. You won't grow taller if you carry it. Why don't you let your second and third uncles help you?"

“That’s right, that’s right, or Uncle can carry it for us.” He Sen said, reaching out his hand.

Zhao Lian made another clever turn, and He Shu, unlike He Zhu, was not so lucky, and fell headfirst into the air.

"Ah~ah~"

He Shu let out a scream and fell to the ground. Luckily, he was carrying a basket on his back, so he only rolled a few meters before the basket got caught on something and stopped.

"Ouch~ Ouch~"

He Shu groaned pitifully, afraid to move, lest he roll off again.

"You~"

He Zhu glared at Zhao Lian angrily: "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"This isn't my fault, I didn't push him down." Zhao Lian's eyes were clear and her face was innocent.

However, she dared not be careless now, as who knew what kind of wicked intentions this so-called second uncle might have later.

"Really not on purpose?" He Zhu squinted at Zhao Lian. The woman in front of him was so docile, unlike the wildcat she had been acting not long ago.

"Big brother, second brother, save me!"

Seeing that no one was helping him up, He Shu lay on the ground, too afraid to move, and cried out loudly.

"Get up yourself, you'll fall and kill yourself," He Zhu said to He Shu irritably.

He Mu followed behind, pulled the vines that were hooked on He Shu's basket away, and helped He Shu up: "Third brother, how could you be so careless?" He Mu frowned and nagged.

"Big brother, it's that brat! She definitely did it on purpose, yes, it must have been on purpose!" He Shu's thin face and triangular eyes glared fiercely at Zhao Lian.

"Alright, alright, you didn't stand properly yourself, and now you're blaming others," He Mu interrupted him.

"Brother, don't let that brat fool you. She's up to no good." He Shu looked at Zhao Lian with a face full of resentment.

I never imagined she had such a vicious heart; she actually wanted him to roll down the mountain and die.

He Shu was furious because his basket wasn't full to begin with, and the mushrooms were smashed to pieces after the fall.

"You brat, you have to keep me company while I play with the mushrooms." He Shu said as he walked up.

"Yes, we must compensate you. Look, you hurt your third uncle like that, this basket is almost broken, and the mushrooms are all rotten." As she spoke, He Zhu reached out to take some mushrooms from Zhao Lian's basket.

Zhao Lian tried to turn around, but this move didn't work.

He Zhu hooked his hand around her basket and was about to grab it.

Enraged, Zhao Lian shouted, "Hey! You want to die, huh? Fine, I'll grant your wish!"

After saying that, he grabbed He Zhu's clothes with one hand, lifted him up with his bare hands, and then threw him in front of He Mu and He Shu.

"Ah~ Ah~" He Zhu screamed in agony.

He Mu and He Shu were terrified. They didn't dare to catch it with their bare hands and quickly moved aside.

He Zhu rolled several meters, luckily a tree in front of him stopped him. But judging from the situation, he probably fell pretty hard.

He Mu and He Shu then realized what was happening and quickly ran down to help He Zhu up.
