Since Xiao Li discovered mushrooms at the foot of the mountain last time, some villagers have also gone there to pick mushrooms. So after a while, there weren’t many mushrooms left in that area.
As they walked through the foothills, they saw several children picking wild berries and decided to go further. After walking for another thirty minutes, they finally entered the mountain. The moment they stepped into the mountains, the temperature changed.
Due to the lush vegetation, the temperature inside the mountain forest is lower than outside. Although it was a bit humid, Lu Jueyu felt much more comfortable than the hot temperature. As they walked, she would stop to forage and share her knowledge of medicinal or edible plants with her husband.
With his help, the speed at which they collected plants increased several times. As long as the basket is filled, Lu Jueyu will put it in her space and continue collecting.
When they reached the depths of the mountain, Li Chenmo said, "Wife, stay behind me. We have gone too deep. There are wild boars and wolves in this area."
After hearing his words, Lu Jueyu did not dare to take it lightly and walked quickly behind her husband. She held his hand and said, "Husband, if we encounter a wild animal, I will bring both of us into my space."
Li Chenmo looked at his wife and smiled. He patted her head and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you."
Lu Jueyu nodded and said with a smile, "Husband, I’m not worried. I believe you."
After a brief conversation, the two continued walking and found several wild ginseng and truffle mushrooms. They even found a cluster of Ganoderma lucidum, which grew to a height of 1.6 meters. In addition, they also captured some pheasants and hares.
When it was almost noon, the two entered Lu Jueyu’s space to have lunch and rest. After the two took a nap, they came out of the space and left the forest.
In addition to mushrooms, wild fruits, and potatoes, they also found buckwheat, barley and quinoa. As she puts everything into her space, the new plants were registered in the space’s store. She can now plant those crops after she gets the seeds.
Before leaving the mountain, they filled their baskets with some mushrooms, wild fruits, and bamboo shoots. When the villagers saw the two of them coming back from the mountain carrying a basket full of food, they looked at them with envy.
A villager saw them passing by and asked, "Jueyu ah, have you and your husband gone into the mountains together?"
Hearing her name being called, Lu Jueyu stopped and turned to look at the villagers. She knew they were prohibited from entering the mountains, so she said, "Hello, auntie. My husband and I just came back from the bamboo forest. We are picking bamboo shoots."
