Mu Yan supported Li Hua and pulled Li Xiang towards the south mountain. As they walked, he inadvertently swept his eyes over the crowd and suddenly saw someone.

  That person noticed his gaze and instead of avoiding it, he followed him with a calculating look in his eyes.

  Muru frowns, what's coming will still come, and trying to hide is probably futile.

  He immediately squatted down and said to Li Xiang: "Niang niang qie, first go home with your aunt, I'll be right back."

  Li Xiang's small goose-egg face lifted with a hint of curiosity: "Mu Yan gege, it's time for lunch, where are you going?"

  "Niang niang first go back home and help auntie cook a meal, I'll go see someone, and come back soon, okay?"

  As he spoke, he didn't forget to turn his head and glance back at the person behind him. Li Xiang followed his line of sight and saw a middle-aged man with a shifty appearance, furrowing his brow.

  Mu Yan didn't explain anything and turned around to leave.

  From Li Xiang's perspective, although she couldn't see his expression clearly, the middle-aged man's expression was indeed unpleasant to her.

  "What's wrong?"

  Li Hua turned around and also saw the person talking to Mu Yan. Just as she was about to ask, Li Xiang raised her head and pulled on her mother's hand.

  "Mother, I'm afraid the people from Wangjia Village will hear the rumors and come knocking on our door."

  "What? You mean that person... Let's hurry over and explain then?"

  Li Xiang was defeated by her mother's simplicity.

  "Alright, I think Mu Yan Gege will handle this himself. Let's not interfere and hurry back home to cook dinner!"

  An explanation? Is that what they want?

  I'm afraid it's time to pay up.

  Hehe, as expected, every family has a few extreme relatives.

  Today her brother Mu Yan helped them a lot, and they must reward him well.

  "But what if they misunderstand, wouldn't that cause trouble for your brother Mu Yan?"

  "Oh dear, if we go, that's when the real trouble starts. Alright, my brother has been tired all day and won't even get to eat dinner when he gets home, what can be done?"

  At last these words restored Li Hua's senses and he led Li Xiang back to Nan Shan.

  Thanks to Mu Yan's obstruction, no one followed them again.

  While Li Hua was cooking, Li Xiang entered the space.

  These days when she has nothing to do, she will also sneak out secretly.

  Although it's raining outside, since it's summer and she has space to wash up, she doesn't mind getting dirty.

  So she found quite a few good things.

  They say that the big mountains are full of treasures, and this is absolutely true.

  Unfortunately, her space cannot hold living things, so she picked up some mushrooms, black fungus, wild vegetables, and wild fruits.

  Outside there is no sunshine, can't dry clothes, space four seasons like spring, but it created good conditions for her.

  Black wood ear mushrooms had not been exposed to direct sunlight and although they were already half dry, Li thought they might be poisonous so he didn't dare take them out.

  Looking at his own miserable two points, Li Xiang felt a bit helpless.

  Fortunately, these two small sparrows are complete with five organs, and there are many wild flavors she has collected over the years.

  Potatoes and sweet potatoes go without saying, these can be eaten as staple food, she planted a small piece of land.

  The rest of the land is used for planting radishes, bok choy, green onions, eggplants, tomatoes and cucumbers.

  The remaining half of the land was all brought back by her from various places and Qingcheng Mountain as wild game.

  Wolfberry, shepherd's purse, water celery, amaranth, Chinese toon, ostrich fern, dandelion, wisteria, wild garlic sprout.

  These days are relatively short, just rooted, not yet revived, with time, they will surely become piece by piece.

  Oh right, and there's also mushrooms, she collected some with spores on them, don't know if they'll survive or not, might as well try planting them first.

  When you feel like eating it, there's no need to go out and find it anymore. You can openly take it out and say it's something you picked yourself, how great is that?

  In the future, after leaving Qingcheng Mountain, Li Jia Village's land head couldn't find wild vegetables and mushrooms, it can be said that a good opportunity was missed.

  In this era of resource scarcity, even wild vegetables are being dug up by everyone.

  Half-dried mushrooms, plus her home-grown potatoes and wild mountain peppers, could be stir-fried together.

  This is also the best thing she can come up with so far.
