Chapter 172: Chapter 171: Picking Monkey’s Head Mushrooms

’It’s damned if I do, damned if I don’t.’

Gu Jiaojiao decided to just come right out with it.

”Leng Yuan, I want to go up the mountain this afternoon.”

”Mm,” Leng Yuan responded.

Gu Jiaojiao was speechless.

She had thought the man would refuse.

After all, this was the same man who had sent Chen Erniu to keep an eye on her.

But she had hesitated all afternoon, only for him to agree so easily?!

’All that hesitation for nothing!’

And she hadn’t used a single one of the arguments she’d prepared to convince Leng Yuan.

But that didn’t matter.

With Leng Yuan’s permission, Gu Jiaojiao immediately went into the woodshed to get her burlap sacks.

They were the special sacks Leng Yuan had made for her, designed to be dragged along the mountain paths. She took two of them and also grabbed a back basket.

The back basket was woven from bamboo strips and was relatively light.

Leng Yuan knew she wasn’t very strong, so he had woven it for her specifically.

Gu Jiaojiao found it effortless to carry this basket.

Leng Yuan glanced at the things Gu Jiaojiao had grabbed and offered a reminder.

”The sacks aren’t enough.”

Gu Jiaojiao was shocked. ”It’s enough! I won’t be able to carry any more back.”

’Does this man have some kind of misunderstanding about my strength?’

The next moment, she saw the man grab several more burlap sacks and place them on the handcart.

Then, he explained.

”I’m going with you.”

Gu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes. ’No wonder he agreed to let me go up the mountain. He was going himself.’

But on second thought, the idea of going with Leng Yuan actually made her even happier.

She cheerfully moved her things onto the handcart and then waited for Sweet Girl to arrive.

She used the time to fill a large water jug and also brought along a few new bamboo tubes.

Before long, Sweet Girl arrived, along with Chen JianShe and Chen Erniu, and their little tail, Chen Sandan.

Chen Sandan gave Gu Jiaojiao a sweet smile, but when he turned and saw his teacher, his expression instantly turned serious.

Chen JianShe looked at Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao, clearly seeking praise.

”Brother Leng, Sister-in-law, these are the helpers I found.”

None of them were very old, but with so many people, the group was quite an impressive sight.

The handcart had been modified, so it had no problem on the mountain paths, but it required a lot of strength to pull.

That wasn’t a problem for Leng Yuan, though.

Gu Jiaojiao, however, was sure that anyone else would have struggled.

They first went to the spot where Sweet Girl had found the Lion’s Mane mushrooms. There really were a lot of them—a whole patch.

Gu Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up at the sight.

But it was no wonder no one had found them; this spot was already quite deep into the mountains.

Moreover, it was next to a gorge with a river below. Water flowed down from the mountain, and the current was rapid.

Thick, withered grass concealed the edge, making it impossible to see what was underfoot. One wrong step, and you could tumble right down.

This explained why no one had discovered the Lion’s Mane mushrooms.

Sweet Girl had only dared to venture this deep because she’d been desperate.

But she was clever, only daring to pick a few from the outer edge, not getting too close to the side.

Leng Yuan surveyed the area, marked out a safe zone for the group, and once he was sure Gu Jiaojiao and the others wouldn’t be in any danger, he led Chen JianShe away to the side.

Gu Jiaojiao paid them no mind and immediately started picking the Lion’s Mane mushrooms with Sweet Girl and Chen Erniu.

’This stuff is great; it’d fetch a good price if we sold it.’

Gu Jiaojiao didn’t want everyone to help for nothing.

”Sweet Girl, Second Girl, this is good stuff. Do you two want to pick some to take home?”

At her words, Sweet Girl immediately refused. ”Sister, I don’t want any. They’re all for you.”

”This stuff is a bit bitter. Even if I took it home, I wouldn’t eat it.”

She would rather eat wild vegetables than this stuff.

Chen Erniu also shook her head quickly. ”Sister-in-law, my big brother told me we were coming here to help you. How could we take your things? I don’t want any.”

That wasn’t just because Chen JianShe had told her to say it.

Even if he hadn’t said anything, Chen Erniu would have absolutely refused.

Right now, they still had half a roe deer at home.

That was all from Eldest Brother Leng, and in her mother’s words, they had already benefited enough and couldn’t keep taking advantage of their kindness.
