Chapter 8: Picking Mushrooms and Rabbits

"Little baby, wait for my brother, don't run around, there are bears here. A little boy of about five or six years old looked at the trotting figure in front of him.

"Hmph, my brother doesn't walk as fast as the doll, and he said that the doll is running around, if we don't go faster, how can we find herbs for our mother?" replied the little girl named Xiaowa. Apparently, she was the little boy's sister.

"Hmm... Hebo should be talking about this forest, let's stop first. The little boy said thoughtfully.

"Brother, brother, do you know what that thing called Lingzhi looks like?" asked the little baby with her head tilted.

He Bo only told them... Lingzhi can save his mother, but he didn't tell them what Lingzhi looks like.

"Stupid, fortunately, my brother asked Hebo when he came out, otherwise how can we find this mountain all over the wilderness, Ganoderma lucidum is black and black, big, and the same thing as a big mushroom. The elder brother replied to the younger sister.

"Lingzhi is a big mushroom?" the little baby showed a suspicious look on her face.

If Ganoderma lucidum is a big mushroom, then why is it called Ganoderma lucidum instead of a big mushroom?

Hebo said that their mother can only be saved by taking Ganoderma lucidum, and if they can't find Ganoderma lucidum, their mother will go to heaven.

Heaven may be a good place for many people, but Xiaowa knows that no matter how good it is, she doesn't want her mother to go in, because she can't see Xiaowa's paradise, and her mother will not be happy in it.

"That's right, that's how Hebo described it, huh, don't you still believe your brother?" said the elder brother angrily.

"Brother, the little baby is a little scared, it's a little too quiet here. Xiaowa wanted to say a few words back to her brother, but she was in the dense forest and suddenly felt a wave of fear.

They are a wilderness mountain village, and the forest where they are located is often infested with wild beasts, and Xiaowa and her brother have seen people who go in to hunt, so they are so afraid.

If it weren't for the treatment of their mother, they wouldn't have dared to come to this place.

"Don't be afraid, little baby, you have a brother to protect you. The brother came to Xiaowa's side and took her soft little hand and comforted her.

"Brother... With my brother with my little baby, my little baby is not afraid, but it's so quiet here, only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, how can we find the big mushroom..."The little baby looked at her brother and asked.

"Mushrooms... They all grow under the tree, and I think the same must be true of the Lingzhi, so let's look around the vicinity of the big tree carefully, right?" replied the elder brother.

In fact, he wasn't sure if what he said was right, but it had come to this point, and he had to try it to find out the result, and when they found Lingzhi, they had to rush back to take care of their mother.

"Well, Xiaowa understands, brother, there are a lot of big trees there, let's go there, shall we?" Xiaowa shook her brother's arm and pointed towards the woods in front of her.

"Okay, but the little baby can't leave my brother, in case of danger, we have to leave quickly. My brother said worriedly.

"The little baby knows, and the brother should also pay attention to safety. Xiaowa said.

The elder brother took the baby into the dense woods, and they aimlessly searched for the shadow of Ganoderma lucidum.

Although they were in the terrifying woods, the sun was shining at this time, which gave them a great sense of security.

They went to different trees and carefully searched for the whereabouts of the Lingzhi, and occasionally, they could see mushrooms that were very similar to the legendary Lingzhi, all of which they put into the small bamboo baskets they carried.

"Brother, this mushroom seems to be poisonous, it shouldn't be Ganoderma lucidum, right?" Xiaowa said to her brother.

"Hmm... Brother doesn't know, but we can't let go of any hope of saving my mother, right? Even if they are not real Ganoderma lucidum, we should take them back and let Hebo see them, if he says no, we can also throw them away or eat them, and if my mother is sick, we should eat something good to replenish the body, maybe these mushrooms can also help my mother's illness. Brother said.

"Brother is so smart, it's just the idol of the little baby, okay, the little baby listens to the brother, replenishes the body of the mother, and finds the Ganoderma lucidum! There are many more there, the little baby goes and picks them all back." After the little baby finished speaking, she happily went to pick mushrooms.

They had never seen Lingzhi before, but they learned from Hebo's mouth that Lingzhi was a mushroom-like thing, and they had seen a lot of mushrooms now, so they wanted to pick them all and leave them for their mother to heal.

"Little baby, be careful. The elder brother shouted as he looked at the baby's back.

"Hmm. In order not to worry her brother, Xiaowa immediately responded to him.

Not far from each other, they were collecting mushrooms, and they were hoping that there would be Ganoderma lucidum in it.

As time passed, they slowly approached the depths of the woods, only as time went on, the sky began to darken.

"Little baby, it's time for us to go home. Brother said.

"But we haven't finished collecting this forest yet, and there are a lot of mushrooms here. Xiaowa pointed to the mushrooms that had not yet been collected.

"There's no way around that, let's come back tomorrow, it's getting dark now, if we don't go back quickly, I'm afraid we'll get lost, and... We have to go back and cook for our mother," said the elder brother.

"Oh well. Xiaowa heard her brother's explanation and immediately agreed.

They carried a full load of mushrooms on their backs and walked on the way home, the night in the countryside always came very quickly, and in a short time, it was already dark, and they could only walk slowly by the dim light.

The little baby hugged her brother's arm tightly, showing a frightened look, the old people often say that the woods at night are extremely terrifying, because... You don't know when, you'll see a beast pass by you.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and they walked and walked, and finally they were about to see the village.

However, at this moment, Xiaowa suddenly tripped over something, and her whole body threw herself forward and fell to the ground.

"Xiaowa, are you okay?" Seeing this situation, the brother hurriedly looked at Xiaowa.

The mushrooms on the back of the little baby were also scattered all over the ground, and the little baby didn't care about the scattered mushrooms, and replied to her brother with a panicked face: "Brother, the little baby is afraid, there is something, there seems to be something under the feet of the little baby..."

Xiaowa pointed to her feet, and her brother looked in the direction she was pointing, and he held a wooden stick tightly in his hand, and whenever there was danger, the wooden stick in his hand would be used by him as a weapon to give them a hard blow.

"Brother, what is it?" asked the little baby towards her brother.

She didn't dare look at her feet for fear of seeing something terrible.

The elder brother squatted down at the little baby's feet in fear, and then looked at it with a wooden stick, and his face was sweating because he was too nervous.

As far as the eye could see, the elder brother saw a white mass, and he felt that it was the corpse of some animal, because the white thing was lying on the ground, motionless.

The elder brother took the wooden stick and carefully poked at the white thing, and the white ball that was touched by the wooden stick still did not move, and the elder brother saw that the white ball did not react, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He beckoned to Xiaowa and said, "Xiaowa, it's okay, it seems to be the corpse of an animal, already dead, not scary." ”

Xiaowa heard her brother's voice, so that she was in the dark night, she had a full sense of security, since her brother said that there was no danger, Xiaowa also had the courage to look at her feet-

I saw that there was a white shadow lying at her feet, and when she saw that her brother was not afraid at all, she immediately got closer to see.

Xiaowa stretched out a finger and quickly poked at the white ball, and then withdrew her hand, she saw that the white ball was really as her brother said, there was no movement, so she was not afraid at all.

"Brother, what is this?" asked the little baby, pointing to Bai Tuan.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be a rabbit, but judging by the way she looks, she should be dead. Brother said.

"Brother, look at her, she's so cute. The little baby pinched the rabbit's ears and said.

It's hard to imagine that she was scared to death just now, but now, she is playing with rabbits.

"What's the use of cuteness, it's all dead. Brother said.

"Brother, if you touch it, her body is still hot, she shouldn't be dead..."Xiaowa said to her brother.

"Isn't it? Rabbits like to sleep in the clearing?"

However, he still followed his sister's wishes, and slowly touched the rabbit, and when he touched the rabbit's warm body, he thought in his heart that she was really alive.

"Brother, what Xiaowa said is right, this rabbit is still alive, let's take her home, maybe she will come back to life..."

"Little baby, this rabbit may not wake up, are you sure you want to bring her back?" asked the brother.

"Uh-huh, the little baby is going to take the rabbit home, if the mother wakes up, she will see the live rabbit, she will be very happy, if... If this rabbit can't wake up, let's... We're going to cook her... Cook for your mother..."The little baby stroked the rabbit's white fluff and said.

"Uh..."After the brother heard Xiaowa's words, he was immediately a little speechless, he thought that Xiaowa was a poor rabbit, it turned out that she still had the idea of eating rabbit meat.

"Alright then, let's take the mushrooms that have just fallen home with the rabbit, and if the rabbit can't wake up, we'll leave it for mom to cook. My brother agreed.

"Hmm. The little baby said with a happy smile.

The rabbit they met was Yue Ziyun, who was forced to transform into a body by the air undercurrent in the two boundary monuments, in order to protect herself from being strangled, but she also fell unconscious because of the use of forbidden arts, and finally fell into this unknown wood, and was taken back by the two brothers and sisters, if she couldn't wake up quickly, maybe she would be cooked by them and eaten.

After a small episode, the two siblings rushed home non-stop. By the time they returned to their dilapidated home, it was completely dark.

"Brother, you take the mushrooms to Hebo and ask to see if there is any Ganoderma lucidum in them, and I will cook medicine and cook rice for my mother. Xiaowa looked at her brother and said.

"Well, I'll go now, you have to be careful to make your own fire at home. Brother said.
