Chen Xuhui directly buckled the back basket, carried it behind him, and hung the snake in the cloth bag outside the back basket, and did all this before he raised his head and said to Mu Xiu: "Okay, let's go." ”

Chen Xuhui took Mu Xiu to turn left and right, walked for about ten minutes, and finally came to a low-lying place, where there was a collapsed tree, next to it were rotten branches and leaves, and the trunk was covered with brown shiitake mushrooms.

Mu Xiu's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that there were so many shiitake mushrooms.

"Pick it up, it will be dark in a while." Chen Xuhui took out another cloth bag from his body and threw all the picked shiitake mushrooms into it.

Mu Xiu also put down the back basket and began to fill the mushrooms inside, and soon, she picked most of the back basket, she took advantage of Chen Xuhui's inattention, put the mushrooms in the space and continued the next round of picking.

In this way, Mu Xiu loaded back and forth several times, and Chen Xuhui's cloth bag was also full.

"Mu Xiu, don't press the mushrooms too tightly, come and pick them next time." Chen Xuhui glanced at Mu Xiu's back basket, he really didn't expect that this back basket didn't look big and could hold so many shiitake mushrooms.

It's normal for him to be strange, on weekdays, he can fill a basket with a random pick, and today, I saw that the mushrooms on the trunk were at least one-third empty, but the two of them didn't pick much.

"Yes, okay." Mu Xiu forgot to glance at the remaining shiitake mushrooms, she really wanted to pick them all......

The two of them tidied up, carried things on their backs, and walked down the mountain, and it could be seen that Chen Xuhui was very familiar with the road on the mountain, and there was obviously no road in some places, so he casually picked up the grass, and there was a crooked path, but it was said to be a path, but in fact, it was just a trail that someone had stepped on for a long time.

"Brother Chen, do you often go into the mountains?" Mu Xiu asked curiously.

"Yes, it's good that I don't go hungry because of this mountain." Chen Xuhui's eyes dimmed, and he replied lightly.

Mu Xiu thought of the original owner's memory of Chen Xuhui in her mind, and she was speechless for a while.

Chen Xuhui is also a poor man, up and down Yingwu Village, who doesn't know the situation of his family, his father is a typical type of stepmother who has a stepfather.

After the stepmother entered the door, two younger brothers were added in three years, and Chen Xuhui was only seven years old at that time.

In this era when Chen Xuhui was ten years old, his father and stepmother went to work, he fed chickens and ducks at home and looked at the two younger brothers, who expected that his younger brother was naughty, and lit a straw pile in the kitchen, Chen Xuhui rushed into the kitchen in order to save his younger brother, and his face was also burned.

The two younger brothers were just frightened, but Chen Xuhui's stepmother took this opportunity to pry Chen Xuhui's father and drove the ten-year-old son out of the house.

Chen Xuhui, who was kicked out of the house, could only find a dilapidated house to live in, his life was worse than that of the Mushui family, the people in the village, every family was worried about their livelihood, even if they sympathized with him in their hearts, they could only sigh for a sentence or two.

At that time, Chen Xuhui was only ten years old, a half-old boy, and he could only count five points of work on weekdays, and the food he distributed could not fill his stomach at all, so Chen Xuhui could only dig wild vegetables by himself and go into the mountains to hunt, just like that, he did not starve to death, and he stumbled through five years.

"Mu Xiu, it's your house in front." Chen Xuhui's voice interrupted Mu Xiu's memories, Mu Xiu looked up, and sure enough, he arrived at Lao Sun Tou's house, but how did he know that her house was here?

Chen Xuhui seemed to see Mu Xiu's question, and Chen Xuhui continued: "My responsibility field is next to your house, and I saw you coming in and out a few days ago. ”

I see, Mu Xiu didn't expect that all this was really a coincidence.

"Why do you want to be responsible?" Mu Xiu asked with some curiosity.

"I earn less work, so I want to grow it myself, anyway, I'm alone, I don't have to pay too much for public food, and I can spare time to go to the mountains to find something to eat." Chen Xuhui's words made Mu Xiu a little impressed by him, but he didn't expect him to be quite smart.

"If you want to go into the mountains in the future, go find me, I'll take you in, on weekdays, it's safer to be on the periphery of the mountain." Chen Xuhui continued.

"Thank you, Brother Chen, you see it's getting dark, go to my house for dinner in the evening." Mu Xiu is really full of gratitude to Chen Xuhui.

Chen Xuhui was stunned, over the years, no one invited him to eat at home.

"No, I've been in the mountains for a day today, and the ground hasn't been watered yet." Although Chen Xuhui is alone on weekdays, in his heart, he still longs to feel warmth, looking at Mu Xiu's earnest eyes, he habitually rejected her kindness.

"Brother Chen, no matter how busy you are, you can't delay eating, let's go, go to my house, I'll make you something to eat, and when you're done eating, I'll help you water it, Brother Chen, last time you helped me take care of my sister, and then we went to see a doctor in a hurry, and I didn't thank you well, and then I went home and encountered all kinds of messy things, so I forgot about it, and if I didn't have you today, I might have to ......" Mu Xiu invited enthusiastically one by one.

Chen Xuhui's heart was hot, he could feel Mu Xiu's sincerity, so he nodded involuntarily, and the two walked towards Mu Xiu's house together.

"Xiu, you can be regarded as back, why did you go out for so long?" Zhou Shuilian heard the sound of pushing the door in the courtyard, hurriedly walked out of the hall, and when she saw Mu Xiu, she complained, and then she saw another figure behind Mu Xiu.

"Huh, Xiaohui?"

"Mother, today I went to the mountain and met a snake, I was almost bitten by the snake, thanks to Brother Chen who killed the snake, Brother Chen also took me to pick so many mushrooms......" Mu Xiu put down the back basket behind him and opened it to show Zhou Shuilian.

"Mother, you see, there are a lot of shiitake mushrooms, in order to thank Brother Chen, I invited him to come to the house for a meal."

"What? Did you encounter a snake? You okay. Zhou Shuilian pulled Mu Xiu to her side nervously and looked at it from head to toe.

"Mother, it's okay, I'm not fine."

Zhou Shuilian was relieved to see that Mu Xiu was fine, she looked at Chen Xuhui and said gratefully: "Xiaohui, thank you so much." ”

"I just ran into it along the way." Chen Xuhui said sincerely.

Zhou Shuilian turned her head to Mu Xiu and said, "You take Xiaohui into the house and sit, I'll go out and get some meat, let's thank Xiaohui for this kid." ”

"Aunt Lian, I have rabbits here, let's eat rabbit meat." Chen Xuhui put his back basket on the ground and pointed to the back basket and said.
