After arriving at the mountain, Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu went directly to the mountain, leaving Zhou Ming to accompany Lin Taohua to wander around the halfway of the mountainside outside the mountain. The outer mountains are not better than the mountains, there is relatively little vegetation near the villages, and there are no powerful beasts, and there are many women and children picking mountain fruits and digging wild vegetables in this area every day.

Lin Taohua carried a stick in the dead leaves, kept paddling under the roots, and looked up at the tree from time to time, Zhou Ming carried a basket and followed her to take care of it, and before they knew it, the two of them walked to a relatively dark area.

Zhou Ming had been paying attention to Lin Taohua's feet, and then he found that the light had become dim, and he looked around to make sure that it had gradually moved away from the area where the villagers often moved, and quickly pulled Lin Taohua.

"Don't go inside, it's dangerous if you don't go in often."

Lin Taohua looked at the empty bamboo basket very unwillingly, and looked inside on tiptoe, feeling that it was a little darker and not dangerous, so she pulled Zhou Ming's sleeve and said, "Everything that can be found outside has been picked up by the villagers, I want to go in and have a look." ”

Zhou Ming didn't want to take her on an adventure, but he didn't feel at ease if he left her here, so he said: "If you don't find it, you will come back another day, there are few people inside, and it will not be good if something happens." ”

Lin Taohua shook Zhou Ming's hand, "Brother Ming, I want to go and see, I don't feel like there's any danger inside." ”

Zhou Ming didn't want to make trouble with her, but the body of the peach blossom and peach tree was naturally very perceptive of danger, and now that there was no danger, there should be no problem, so he took her hand and walked in carefully.

The trees here are relatively dense, there are a lot of rotten leaves and dead branches, plus there are few people, there are a lot of fungi, a large piece of pine umbrella, porcini mushrooms are clustered like a group display, and the forest peach blossoms are easily picked a lot.

"Don't people here eat mountain mushrooms? So many people didn't pick them. Lin Taohua asked strangely.

Zhou Ming looked at the mushrooms she put in the basket and said, "It's not that no one picks them, it's just that they have eaten people to death before, except for those that have been proven to be non-toxic, no one else picks them." I see that the varieties you pick are mixed, are you sure it's okay? ”

Lin Taohua patted her chest: "Of course it's no problem, I used to go to the mountains and forests to play, and I learned to pick mushrooms, and I basically ate them, and they were very delicious." If only the eldest brother could catch a pheasant today, the mushroom stewed chicken soup should not be too delicious. ”

Zhou Ming swallowed her saliva unconsciously, and said with a smile: "It seems that she has mistreated her husband in the past few days, and she has made her greedy like this." ”

Lin Taohua's face turned red and said angrily: "It's really annoying, it's an instinctive reaction." After saying that, he turned around and ran forward, but he didn't notice that the broken pile on the road was tripped directly.

"Be careful." Zhou Ming took a quick step forward, and took the person back to the crook of his arm with his arm, but the mushrooms in the bamboo basket flew out a few because of inertia.

"Scared the hell out of me." Lin Taohua patted her heart and said.

Zhou Ming looked down at Lin Taohua, who was a little panicked, only to feel that the waist of the person in his arms was slender and not full of grips, his delicate body was close to him, and the girl's body breath lingering on the end of his nose made him a little uneasy, and his arms couldn't help but tighten again, his eyes were fixed on Lin Taohua's ruddy lips, and his emotions were almost out of control.

"Brother Ming~" Lin Taohua was tightly trapped in Zhou Ming's arms, and she was sensitively aware of the change in the atmosphere. Zhou Ming's gaze was as gentle as ever, but it revealed a scorching heat that he had never seen before, Lin Taohua's face burned badly, and he lowered his head and muttered in a dodging voice, and the whole person was indescribably shy and obedient.

Zhou Ming smiled slightly, only to feel that the allure of the peach blossom that woke up had increased countless times. In the past, the two of them shared the same bed for several years and nothing happened, but now they are still the same person, but he is not so confident in his self-control.

"It's hard to walk here, so take it slowly."

"Oh." Lin Taohua answered, and followed Zhou Ming forward shyly.

Along the way, the light became brighter and brighter, and Lin Taohua unexpectedly found some snow-white white fungus, thinking about the rare wild ones, and pondering the possibility of artificial breeding while picking.

Although there is no modern advanced planting technology in ancient times, Lin Taohua always feels that she has a very close connection with Qiongya Mountain, and has a very clear perception of the changes in the surrounding environmental factors.

"Brother Ming, do you know this?" Lin Taohua wanted to confirm whether the white fungus was rare in this world.

Zhou Ming touched the tender ear piece and said, "It looks like the white fungus recorded in the book." ”

"Have you eaten it?"

Zhou Ming said with a smile: "This thing is expensive, it's rare to see it, let alone eat it." ”

Lin Taohua stroked her palm when she heard it and smiled: "That's fine." Hurry up and find a way to transplant this thing home, and make money to buy the four treasures of the study for the Xianggong, okay? ”

Zhou Mingwan bowed and said, "Xiaosheng thanked the lady first." ”

"Huh."

The two of them laughed and walked and found chestnut trees and ash trees again, Lin Taohua commanded Zhou Ming to pack some of everything and return the same way, and went to meet Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu.

"Help! Anyone? God, please save my Phil. ”

Halfway through, I suddenly heard a cry for help not far away.

"Someone seems to be in distress." Lin Taohua raised her feet and was about to run over to take a look.

"Don't move." Zhou Ming grabbed her, frowned and said, "There is a trap under Orion over there, don't go over." ”

"But what about the man?" Lin Taohua asked a little anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu walked this way without seeing anyone at the agreed place, just in time to see Zhou Ming and Lin Taohua standing with serious faces.

Lin Taohua was about to say that someone was in distress, when the cry of the woman over there came out again.

"Fei'er, you should say to your mother, God, help!"

The woman cried heartbreakingly, Lin Taohua felt that her heart was about to break, and her hand holding Zhou Ming tightened.

"Hui Niang!" The taciturn Zhou Wu's face changed abruptly, and he quickly ran to the place where he called for help.

"......" Lin Taohua only felt that a gust of wind was blowing, and Zhou Wu disappeared.

"Let's take a look." Zhou Wen also walked over with a worried face.

"Acquaintance?" Lin Taohua asked as she walked beside Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming nodded and said softly: "It's the daughter of the village leader Zhou Baogen's family, called Huiniang." ”

Who Zhou Baogen is Lin Taohua doesn't know, what she is interested in is what this Hui Niang has to do with her second brother.

"Your second brother knows Hui Niang? I see that the second brother is usually silent, but I didn't expect to be in a hurry with this Hui Niang. ”

Zhou Ming didn't expect Lin Taohua to have such a gossip side, and said softly: "Hui Niang and my second brother originally ordered a baby kiss, but later Zhou Baogen gambled badly and sold Hui Niang to Zhang Youfu, a second-rate son in Zhangjia Village. ”

"Huh?" Lin Taohua couldn't help but complain, it turned out to be the former second sister-in-law, no, it was the former second sister-in-law who didn't enter the door.

"Fei'er, wake up, how can you live if you have a mother with three long and two short." Hui Niang hugged a four or five-year-old girl and cried miserably.

"The child is fine, but he injured his foot, just go back and recuperate. There are a lot of traps here, so don't bring your children here in the future. Zhou Wu stood beside Hui Niang and said, his face was depressed, and the whole person looked like a volcano about to erupt.

Lin Taohua saw the angry look on the big man for the first time, and her liver trembled, for fear that this guy would not be able to help but commit murder.

"The child just fainted, just go back to sleep, Sister Hui don't be afraid." Lin Taohua squatted down and touched the child's feet, and comforted Huiniang softly.

Zhou Hui didn't expect to meet the three brothers of the Zhou family and Lin Taohua here, her face was full of tears, her heart was mixed, she didn't dare to look at Zhou Wu's face at all, she just lowered her head and kept saying thank you.

"Sister Hui, it's going to be dark soon, why don't we send you back, your Zhangjia Village is still a little far from here." Lin Taohua looked at her as a weak woman with a comatose child, and said.

How dare Zhou Hui trouble them and even say no.

"How do you go back as a woman with a child who can't walk?"

Zhou Wu was a little angry with Zhou Hui, and his tone of voice was also blunt.

Zhou Hui was ashamed of him and didn't dare to speak, Lin Taohua looked at Zhou Wu's ugly face and gently scratched Zhou Ming's palm.

Zhou Ming understood, stepped forward and said, "Sister Hui, if you don't go down the mountain with us first, I'll send the peach blossoms back, and then send you home." ”

"No, I'll send her back."

Without waiting for Zhou Hui to reply, Zhou Wu took the unconscious child in his arms and walked away first. When Hui Niang saw this, she hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and they quickly chased after them.

"Heh, this second child, obviously distressed and impatient." Zhou Wen shook his head amusedly, and took Zhou Minglin's peach blossoms home first.
