Zheng Lin took Shen Yingyue around a narrow mountain road, and there was no way to go inside, so he had to go directly to the mountain forest.

Fortunately, it is early autumn, and the leaves in the mountains and forests have withered a lot, and it is not the season of lush foliage, so it is much more convenient to enter the mountains at this time than in summer.

"Third aunt, slow down, there are thorns here, be careful not to scrape."

"Well, you too." Shen Yingyue followed her.

When Zheng Lin complained that there were too many wattles here, her eyes lit up.

Lots of herbs! Among them, there are many precious Chinese herbs, if she can pick more, she can go back and send them.

Shen Yingyue secretly wrote down the road here, planning to come over to dig again tomorrow with a sickle, now there is no sickle to cut the thorns in the mountain, and it is not easy to dig.

"Third aunt, are you afraid of walking so slowly? Don't be afraid, the forest here is shallow, there are no wild beasts, I know how to measure, and I won't take you to the forest with wild beasts. Zheng Lin didn't know that Shen Yingyue was looking at the herbs, thinking that she was scared, so he turned around and said.

"I'm not scared, I'm just fat, so I'm walking slower. Also, that...... Don't call me the third aunt, just call me Yueniang. Shen Yingyue said with some embarrassment.

People in this era like to follow their children, and seeing Zheng Lin, who is about the same age as her, call her aunt, Shen Yingyue really feels a little awkward.

"It's okay, let's call you Yueniang. The fifth elder of my family is better than the third eldest of your family, you can just call me sister-in-law. ”

"Hmm."

The two of them continued to walk into the woods.

"Yueniang, look over there." Zheng Lin found something and became excited.

Shen Yingyue followed her fingers and saw a large dead wood stake, which was covered with mulberry ears on top of each other, which should have grown before, but now they are all dry, and they are at least ten catties when they are taken off by sight.

This is still dry, ten catties of dried mulberry ears are soaked in at least more than 100 catties, which is enough for the family to eat for a long time. When winter arrives and the snow covers the mountains, there will be less to eat, and these mulberry ears can just be used as winter reserve food.

"We're really lucky today, I've been here before, and I've never seen a mulberry here. Let's go, let's go half. Zheng Lin said as he cut off the thorns on the side with a sickle and opened the way in front.

"Yueniang, hurry up."

"Oh good." Shen Yingyue took her eyes off a herb and followed Zheng Lin's past.

"Sister-in-law, you found this mulberry ear, it's not appropriate for me to take half of it, right? Blame the embarrassment. ”

"What are you polite to me? The fifth child of our family and the third child of your family all went to school in the county, and now they are all members of the school, and they have become officials in the future, but they are all colleagues, and it is also appropriate for our two families to take care of each other. ”

"You really have confidence in Fifth Brother Zheng." Shen Yingyue quipped.

"But no, could it be that you don't have confidence in your third child?"

"No, I believe him." Shen Yingyue replied with some embarrassment. I wanted to make fun of Zheng Lin's family, but now I was teased by her in reverse.

The two of them took off the mulberry ears on the wooden stake, and Shen Yingyue followed Zheng Lin to a water in front of them. This place in Beiping Mansion is arid, there are not many waters, it is not easy to find one, there are a lot of wild vegetables growing next to this water, maybe because it is in the mountains and forests, no one picks.
