"Mm-hmm,"
Ziying replied while quickening her pace forward, and Gu Yuxuan followed her to pick mushrooms.
"Pick, pick, pick the mushrooms—"
Ziyan hummed excitedly while picking the two-colored mushrooms.
Gu Yuxuan heard her humming a little tune and couldn't help but chuckle, shaking his head as he continued to help pick mushrooms. Meanwhile, Ziying could no longer contain her curiosity.
She turned to Ziyan and asked, "Sister, how did you suddenly come to know so many strange things?"
"Uh? Oh, wasn't it yesterday in County Town when the clinic boss gave me two books? I'll let you take a look later."
"Forget it, you know your sister can't read—reading? When did you learn to read, sister? I don't remember that."
Dazed, Ziyan suddenly recalled that what she had brought back was an illustrated book with pictures and words.
She looked up and replied, "Oh—it's an illustrated book; it has drawings of these plants based on their appearance. By looking at those pictures, I can recognize these treasures."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Ziying then lowered her head and continued picking mushrooms.
Ziyan stole another glance at her sister and saw that she indeed had no intention of asking further questions, so she secretly wiped the virtual sweat from her forehead.
She then turned to Gu Yuxuan and exchanged a glance with him. However, Gu Yuxuan remained calm and composed.
In his mind, he believed that this little issue was something his beloved girl could handle. Didn't he see how she had almost made their whole family jump out of their skins earlier that morning?
Gu Yuxuan gave Ziyan a thumbs up in praise. Ziyan rolled her eyes at him, but inside she felt quite sweet.
After a busy half day, the three of them finally finished picking the various sizes of two-colored mushrooms and sat down on the rocks by the roadside to rest and adjust.
Ziyan took out the extra rations she had prepared in the morning—slices of pizza wrapped in fresh Lotus Leaf Wrap, handing each of them a piece to eat.
She also brought out two bamboo water bottles, first handing one to Gu Yuxuan. She intended to share one with her sister, so she lifted the bottle towards her sister and then put it down, indicating that whoever was thirsty could take it themselves.
Ziying nodded in understanding.
While resting, Ziyan looked at the uneven Pine Trees in front of her, which had already produced tender green pine cones. She thought that by September and October, they should come back to pick pine cones for pine nuts.
In her previous life, Ziyan's favorite nut was pine nuts; she could never get tired of them.
Before long, the three of them had rested enough, and Ziyan led Gu Yuxuan and her sister deeper into the dense forest. With Ziying present today, Ziyan decided not to let Gu Yuxuan take them to find the swallow nests for swallow cups.
This secret must not be known to their family for now, so Ziyan planned to only look for some simple medicinal herbs or ordinary food today.
However, sometimes when heaven decides to bestow treasures upon you, you can't refuse. Just look—
Ziyan and Gu Yuxuan walked side by side in front while Ziying trailed behind them at a distance of three to five meters, perhaps still feeling a bit awkward and sour inside.
When Ziyan approached an ancient, decayed tree stump that was extremely thick, her eyes nearly popped out in shock.
Can you guess what treasure she saw? It left her stunned as if she were about to petrify.
Of course, Gu Yuxuan knew what she had seen and was equally astonished at how lucky his beloved little girl was.
Once, I let my father—no, I should say my master—actually, Gu Chaoyang is not the biological father of Gu Yuxuan; it's just that Ziyan doesn't know yet. Of course, she will find out eventually.
Speaking of which, Gu Yuxuan once accompanied her master in practicing lightness skills for over half a month, almost scouring the entire area for hundreds of miles to find this species, only to discover a few small low-grade spiritual mushrooms.
But today, with this little girl, it took less than half a day before they stumbled upon such a precious and high-quality large spiritual mushroom, like a blind cat hitting a dead mouse.
It truly is a case of trying to cultivate flowers that do not bloom while inadvertently planting willows that provide shade!
"Girl, you’ve hit the jackpot!"
Gu Yuxuan couldn't help but reach out to gently stroke Ziyan's delicate little face.
Ziyan, who was lost in thought, quickly reacted and pushed Gu Yuxuan's hand away. She then hurried closer to the tree stump to carefully observe the large spiritual mushroom nearest to her.
The mushroom appeared plump and round, with a naturally brownish color on its surface.
Ziyan touched it and felt its delicate smoothness. Unable to resist, she leaned in closer to sniff it, catching a faint aroma of mushrooms.
Ziyan thought to herself: Cool! This is top-notch quality.
Gu Yuxuan approached Ziyan with amusement, waving his hand in front of her eyes. "Hey, don’t get so excited that you lose your mind. Hurry up and pick it."
"You’re the one who’s lost your mind! Just because you’re silly doesn’t mean I will be."
Seeing Gu Yuxuan reaching out to pick it, she quickly stopped him. "No, don’t pick it! Let me do it myself."
Gu Yuxuan retracted his hand with a teasing glance at her and shook his head as he stepped aside, thinking to himself that she would eventually come back asking for his help.
Ziyan immediately reached out and picked four mushrooms in one breath, but when she looked up, she realized that due to her short stature, although it didn't seem high, there was still nearly a meter between her and the leader. So, the petite Ziyan jumped with all her might but still couldn't reach them.
Sigh—had she known earlier, she wouldn't have tried to show off and let him pick them instead.
Feeling regretful, Ziyan drooped her little head, her face flushed with embarrassment like the sunset glow. In the end, she mustered the courage to lift her head and look at Gu Yuxuan.
"You... you come."
"Oh, fine."
Gu Yuxuan pretended to be reluctant and slowly walked over. He jumped up off the ground and reached out to pick the highest and largest mushroom, which was also the best quality.
Looking at the five exquisite mushrooms in his hand, Ziyan could no longer afford to be coy. Blushing, she thanked Gu Yuxuan.
Then, holding the mushrooms tightly in both hands, she raised them in front of her and stared intently at each one.
Gu Yuxuan nudged her small body and glanced at her before looking back at Ziying, as if to say how she would explain this to her.
Ziyan understood perfectly. Just as Ziying quickly caught up to them, she thought of what to say in an instant.
Ziying had deliberately kept her distance from them earlier because she was afraid that Gu Yuxuan would dislike her. Although she wasn't as bold and proactive as some of the infatuated girls in the village when it came to approaching Gu Yuxuan, Ziying was still somewhat clever.
