Chapter 743 She Is the Savior
Du Shi looked at the two of them up and down, with doubts in his eyes. She had just arrived in the city and didn't quite understand how simple it would be to go to someone else's house for a banquet.
Listening to Du Shi's thoughts and looking at the question mark on Du Shi's head, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but laugh.
Du's daughter is so cute. Even Wen You next to him rarely raised the corners of his lips.
"I forgot to tell you, we are not going to the Xie Mansion banquet, we are going to pick mushrooms outside the city."
Bai Yunxi looked at what she was wearing. She was wearing a half-worn dress, washed very clean, with a hint of ginger.
These were the clothes she occasionally wore when working in the fields. Today she was going to pick mushrooms outside the city, so she put them on specially.
"Ah, Mr. Xie Dalang has invited me. Wouldn't it be bad if my mother doesn't go?"
Du Shi was extremely surprised. Didn't she agree to it and go out to choose a gift, but she changed her mind so quickly?
"It's nothing. I had some unpleasantness with the Xie family's mistress yesterday, and we finally broke up. She doesn't know why she hates me. Mom is not stupid, why would I put it in front of my eyes to make people embarrassed?"
Bai Yunxi chuckled lightly. That Ma family obviously didn't want to spend more money. If she hadn't been provoked, she might have followed Mrs. Liu's advice and exchanged the gift.
He was confronting her as soon as he entered the door. Why should he have to make everything go as he wished?
If you want to save money, there is no way.
Even if she doesn't want the embroidery, it won't make her feel comfortable.
Seeing her mother-in-law's indifferent attitude, Mrs. Du's eyes widened in surprise.
Isn’t the Mistress of the Xie family the wife of Magistrate Xie? I offended her, and my mother-in-law wasn't worried at all?
What if someone creates trouble?
Hearing Du's worries, Baiyunxi's brows twitched, "Don't worry, Mom knows what's going on. You just go to the shop to help. Wenyou and I are going to pick mushrooms outside the city. It drizzled last night, so the timing is just right."
This man was timid, and it was understandable that he was afraid.
Naturally, Du did not dare to object to her mother-in-law's decision, but she was always worried in her heart. As the old saying goes, the people don’t fight with the officials. Why isn’t my mother-in-law afraid at all?
Baiyunxi didn't explain much about Du's thoughts. She is a completely indigenous person, and many of her thoughts have been solidified. One or two sentences of explanation are of no use at all.
After sending Mrs. Du to the entrance of the shop, Wenyou drove the carriage out of the city.
A moat outside the city circled around the city, and finally merged into the mountain stream in front, meandering along with the gurgling stream. Over the years, many reeds and bamboo leaves grew on both sides of the river, and the ice in the shops Bowls and straws are picked from here.
Wenyou turned the carriage into a trail and came to a poplar forest before stopping.
"Aunt Bai, the carriage can only stop here. If you want to pick mushrooms, you have to go up there."
Following Wenyou's finger, Bai Yunxi nodded, "I originally came out to play, let Xue Lihong go and let it eat some grass. This horse is smart and won't lose it."
Redeem the BMW with blood and pure blood.
Wenyou didn't doubt that he was there and just let Xue Lihong go.
The horse was free and turned around a few times, then lowered its head to look for tender grass to eat.
Baiyun River leads Wenyou uphill along the mountain road. The mountain forest is overgrown with weeds and the trees are luxuriant. In addition, there was a drizzle last night, and the ground is wet. It is a good time to pick up fungi.
Baiyunxi held the branches and saw the fallen leaves protruding from them. He pulled them down at will. Some fungi were hidden under the dead leaves and were not easy to find.
But those brightly colored chanterelles and green-headed mushrooms can be seen at a glance. Most ordinary people know these varieties. Whenever they have free time, they always go into the mountains to look for the fungi. In addition to trying them themselves, they also sell them in the market.
But she personally prefers porcini mushrooms, which are thick and delicious when stewed with meat. In addition, there are pine mushrooms, which are good ingredients for stewed meat.
"Wenyou, come on, there are two of them here, they look really good."
Baiyunxi greeted, picked two flowers and showed them to Wenyou,
"I guess no one will come to this forest today, so let's catch it. If we come back with a full load, we can give some to the Zhang family and the Liu family so they can have a taste."
In those two houses, I guess no one came out to pick mushrooms.
"How can Aunt Bai tell whether mushrooms are poisonous or not?"
Wenyou looked at several brightly colored mushrooms in the basket and pursed her lips. They looked dangerous and she was a little afraid to eat.
“To distinguish whether mushrooms are poisonous or not, the experience is to look at the appearance, smell and growing environment. Edible mushrooms generally grow on clean grass and trees. Mushrooms that grow in dark, damp and dirty places generally It’s poisonous. The ones with particularly bright colors, strong smells, and pollen-bearing ones are mostly poisonous and can cause hallucinations even if they don’t kill you.”
Baiyunxi held a chanterelle and chuckled,
"I'll sing a song for you... With red umbrellas and white poles, let's lie down together on the board after eating. Lie down on the board and sleep in the coffin, and then we'll bury them together in the mountains. Bury them in the mountains, cry and shout, and relatives and friends will come to eat. Food. When eating food, there are umbrellas, and the whole village will lie down together, and they will be covered with red umbrellas in the coming year..."
Wenyou: "..."
How dare you take such a risk?
Seeing Wen You's dumbfounded look, Bai Yunxi held a branch in one hand and pinched her waist with the other, raising her head and laughing,
"Haha...are you scared?"
Wenyou looked at Aunt Bai's wanton laughter and pursed her lips without speaking.
Aunt Bai loved teasing her the most, and she had gotten used to it in the past few years.
"Ahem~, it's actually not bad. People living around the mountains and forests have accumulated some common sense about identifying poisonous mushrooms after years of exploration. In most cases, they are still very safe."
Seeing the resistance in Wenyou's eyes, Bai Yunxi laughed so hard that she fell backwards.
The figures of the two people shuttled through the forest, and their laughter echoed. An hour later, Wenyou's basket was already half full of mushrooms. Judging from the color, they didn't seem to be good.
Looking at the colorful mushrooms, especially the red-headed mushrooms and the green-headed mushrooms, they looked inedible. But Aunt Bai said that these were all edible, especially the green-headed mushrooms, which could be eaten raw after cleaning. Aunt Bai said that she would make them for her to try when she got home, which made her feel uneasy.
Bai Yunxi looked at Wenyou's resistance, suppressed her laughter and looked up at the sky,
"It's almost time, let's go back, buy an old hen on the way, and stew it with the mushrooms at night."
Wenyou nodded, and just as they were about to turn around, Wenyou suddenly grabbed Bai Yunxi's arm, her body tensed, and her eyes looked at the ditch next to her with a sharp look.
"There's someone."
Bai Yunxi was stunned. Before she could speak, Wenyou had already jumped onto the tree and returned to her side in a few breaths.
"Aunt Bai, there's a person in the ravine below. He looks badly injured."
Listening to Wenyou's narration, Bai Yunxi trembled. She just came out to pick mushrooms. How could she encounter such trouble?
"Since we've encountered it, let's go and take a look."
