Chapter 26: Nature's Gifts

Jing Tian, who was almost regarded as a commodity and was about to be sold by his own grandmother, had already climbed Niubeiling with Chen Liang at this time.

Summer mornings are the most refreshing and refreshing time of the day, and the mountain air is exceptionally fresh and pleasant. Jing Tian and the others climbed the northern foot of the mountain, with dense shrubs and grass, and most of the trees were thick but medium height.

It was the first time Jing Tian had climbed the mountain of this world, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath when he fell into the lush bushes and grasses. In this mountain forest, people seem to have taken off all the shackles, full of comfort and nature!

She took a few deep breaths and began to stare at the roots of the trees and bushes, going back and forth. In her previous life, she often went to the south mountain of their city with her colleagues on weekends, and she also knew some foods that were often produced in the mountains, the most common of which were fungus, mushrooms and other mushroom foods. She thought carefully about it on the way here, Niubeiling is not small, the vegetation in the north is lush, the air is humid, and it is easy to grow these mushrooms. But I haven't seen any people in the village eat it these days, and maybe the people here don't know that they can eat it.

Chen Liang walked in front of Jing Tian's side, silent all the way, and did not communicate with Jing Tian, but just took a wooden stick to remove the bushes and clear a relatively easy route for the two of them. Jing Tian silently watched his actions, and secretly praised him in his heart, this young man is quite a gentleman!

"Huh?" Jing Tian stared at a tree in front of her with dark gray-brown bark, about the thickness of an adult's thigh, and on top of this section of bark about a meter above the root of the tree, there was a clump of something familiar to her. Jing Tian ignored the grass and trees under his feet, walked forward quickly, and carefully touched it with his hands. The thing on the bark was fleshy and sticky, like a slippery layer of slime on the surface, growing on top of each other.

"Wood moth?" Jing Tian suddenly heard a voice behind him and was startled. Chen Liang knows fungus, which means that people in this world have begun to eat fungus. But no one in Jingjia Village knows about the fungus, which means that the fungus has not yet been on the dining table of the people's homes, and it may be that the number is too small to promote it, but there is another possibility...... Hey!

"You recognize?" She didn't look back, but put her hands together and began to pick the fungus. It's a nutritious thing, and in a previous life, this wild fungus was worth a lot!

"Well, it's for sale." Since Jing Tian broke through Chen Liang's disguise, his private speech has really become more and more concise. This is probably his normal appearance, Jing Tian thought to himself.

"Then I'll charge more, and you can help too! There's still one over there! When Jing Tian heard that there was a shop for sale, his interest was even higher. There are quite a few broad-leaved trees with this gray-brown bark in the vicinity. On the bark near the root of the tree, there were more or less lying fungus, and she longed to receive them all in her basket.

After picking two or three fungus, Jing Tian stopped what he was doing. Picking directly by hand is not only inefficient, but also easy to tear the ear leaves of the fungus, and the picking is incomplete. She turned her head to look around, found a branch about two fingers thick, pointed to the branch and said to Chen Liang, who was standing not far away in a daze (at least Jing Tian looked like he was in a daze): "Help me break this branch!" Just fold it in half, not too long, about that long. Thanks! As he spoke, Jing Tian gestured to Chen Liang about a foot in length, and thanked Chen Liang who was looking at the tree with a smile.

Chen Liang didn't ask her what she wanted the branches for, nor did he speak, still maintaining a faint expression. I saw him walk under the designated branch, and as soon as he leaned slightly, he jumped up, stretched out his hand and broke the branch off the tree, and then broke off the leaves and thinner parts at the top of the branch, leaving a wooden stick more than half a meter long. Then, he held the thinner end of the wooden stick in one hand and knocked it on a tree pole beside him, the movement was not large, only a crisp sound of "pop", and the wooden stick was broken into two pieces of about the same length, about a foot long. Chen Liang grabbed the thicker branch in his hand and handed it to Jing Tian before it fell.

"Wow! So powerful! Jing Tian said secretly in his heart. The branches weren't thin, and they weren't dried deadwood, and she thought he would have to exert some effort. Unexpectedly, he knocked it so lightly, and divided the branch into two branches that were more than a foot long. Moreover, if the branch is broken in this way, the fracture will have an oblique angle as if it had been cut diagonally. In this way, the top edge of this disconnection is a thinning and thickening shape, forming a simple small shovel.

Jing Tian was only stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took over a simple "little shovel", smiled and said thank you to Chen Liang again! This time, unlike the previous politeness, the attitude is absolutely sincere. She was about to introduce Chen Liang to the use of this branch shovel, and then encouraged him to help her pick the fungus together. But after Chen Liang handed her the branch, he turned around and walked to a tree with a fungus lying on his stomach, and with another branch in his hand, he quickly shoveled the fungus from the bark, and the movements were neat.

Come on, worry about it in vain. Jing Tian only grinned a little self-deprecating when he saw this scene, and said, "It's very smart!" ”。 After speaking, she picked up her small wooden shovel and began to shovel the fungus, anyway, under normal circumstances, Chen Liang would not take care of her.

"Not stupid." A clear answer came from behind him. The voice was nice and short, making Jing Tian think that he was shaking. Immediately, she reacted that it was Chen Liang who was replying to her words. What do you mean? Although the other party's tone was light, there was no emotion. But in Jing Tian's ears, she just felt that she was being ridiculed. Biting his lower lip, he turned his head and glared at the boy not far away. Chen Liang was still picking fungus, and a small quiet atmosphere formed around him at this time, as if nothing had happened, and it had been so quiet.

He put a large leaf growing in a bush not far away under the root of the tree, and quickly shoveled the fungus with a small wooden shovel in his right hand, and cooperated with his right hand to control the fungus to fall into the leaves below. His movements were small but efficient, and he had developed a rhythm that seemed to be easy and pleasant, but he had already shoveled a fungus full of leaves, and there was not much left of the tree.

"Hello ......" Jing Tian rolled his eyes leisurely, but he still went to pick a few leaves that were almost the size of a small basin first, and also followed Chen Liang's example to operate. Hum! In order for the three little ones to eat fungus as soon as possible, this girl has a lot of adults, and she doesn't care about you, a little fart. When Jing Tian came to this world, she was already twenty-nine years old, and it is said that sixteen-year-old Chen Liang should call her aunt.
