Chapter 26
No Need
She did not stop looking until her superpower sight covered many kilometers. That made Qiao Xuan both surprised and happy, because the range was not fixed. She could clearly tell that when her superpower grew stronger, she was able to expand the range.
Her superpower could grow, especially when it came to the season in which all matters were growing and everything was flourishing. In this environment, her power grew fast too.
So within this visible range, every tree, every piece of gra.s.s, every flower, and even every small ant on the gra.s.s root as well as the ground became extremely clear in her eyes.
“Let’s go that way!”
Qiao Xuan pointed into one direction with a smile, and took Shao Yunduan there.
Shao Yunduan saw that she was so delighted, and decided to follow her lead rather than disappoint her.
Soon they found one bunch of gra.s.s mushrooms under one tree. The mushroom had grey-brown umbrellas, and the stems were thick, white and tender. Qiao Xuan’s eyes sparkled as she said, “We are so lucky!”
Seeing that she was squatting to pick them, Shao Yunduan could not help but respond. “Are they really safe?”
“Of course!” Qiao Xuan took a bite of them. “Look!”
“Hey, you!” Shao Yunduan had no time to stop her but said, “What are you doing, spit it now!”
Qiao Xuan spat and said with a smile, “You see, it is safe right?”
Shao Yunduan. “…”
He just had no idea how to react.
She did not have to make so much effort to prove the point!
He shivered and said, “Don’t do this again. Pick them if you want, but feed them to the roosters first before trying them yourself, okay?”
It was not worth dying because of a mushroom.
Qiao Xuan burst into laughter and nodded. “Okay, whatever you say!”
Shao Yunduan looked at her and wondered why she did not accept his advice.
Qiao Xuan waved at him. “Come and help me pick some!”
Instead of turning her down, Shao Yunduan had no choice but to squat down and pick mushrooms for her.
Then the two of them found some wild-growing needle mushrooms in brown-yellow color, red mushrooms in dark red color, as well as several kinds of fragrant shiitake mushrooms, fungus, pine milk mushrooms, and many more. Even several rare porcini mushrooms were picked.
But for the basket that was too small to hold everything, they were able to get more.
They even found some very fat and big brackens on one hill. They picked one armful of that and tied them into one bunch with a long thatch.
Satisfied, Qiao Xuan smiled brightly. “This is a big harvest! We are so lucky today!”
Shao Yunduan smiled with slight delight. He nodded. “Yes!”
In the meanwhile, he was totally amazed…
There were many mushrooms in the mountains, but they were never so readily available for him to pick all the time.
They were just so lucky!
The two of them were just about to head home, when they ran into Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao who were strolling in the mountains.
“Fifth Brother, Fifth Sister-in-law!”
The brother and sister waved at them, running at them joyfully.
“Qi, Taotao, what a coincidence to run into you two!” Qiao Xuan’s eyes brightened.
Shao Xiaoqi scratched her head and smiled. “Yes, I put some traps down in the mountains the day before, so I am here to check to see if I caught anything. Fifth Brother, Fifth Sister-in-law, you have got so many mushrooms, and even bracken!”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Those mushrooms are all so tasty, and so are the bracken. We are going to have a feast tonight!”
Shao Taotao was as worried as her fifth brother. She could not help but ask. “Many mushrooms in the mountains are not safe to eat. What about these?”
