Chapter 71 The Salt Is Out

The girl behind him didn't move.

Li Qingshan turned around and found that Lin Shiru was in a daze and spoke in a dumb voice.

"Lin Yan'er?"

"what?"

"I..." Lin Shiru nervously grabbed the hem of her clothes. She felt that her body was soaked.

Seeing her hesitation, Li Qingshan simply stood up straight and tied the rope on his back.

Then he approached Lin Yan'er and squatted down, wrapping his big hands around her knees. Before Lin Shiru could react, the man had easily picked her up.

Until her eyes were parallel to his, the other person's frightened and pretty face fell into his eyes. He only glanced at her with lowered eyes and strode forward.

She didn't expect that Li Qingshan would suddenly hold her in his arms. Lin Shiru exclaimed, her hands subconsciously holding Li Qingshan's broad back, her face flushed with embarrassment, her eyes froze at the man's tall nose, she was really right. This man had no resistance whatsoever.

After an unknown amount of time, the man's Adam's apple moved up and down, and the hand holding her tightened slightly. She heard the man say in a hoarse voice: "Ahem, we're here."

Feeling the restraining force of the palm on her waist, Lin Shiru came back to her senses and broke away from the man's arms with a panicked expression.

"Thank you..." Lin Shiru tucked the scattered hair behind her ears and turned to look at the familiar large piece of chanterelles on the ground, her eyes shining.

As soon as I squatted down, I heard the man say: "What are you doing looking for this?"

"Eat." Lin Shiru's words reached the man's ears.

"Eat?" Li Qingshan lowered his head. There was a large field of yellow and bright wild mushrooms on the ground. He didn't know whether they were poisonous or not.

No one in Linjia Village dared to go into the mountains, so naturally not many people looked for these fungi that could not be distinguished from poisonous to non-toxic.

He remembered that when there was a famine a long time ago, someone stewed mushrooms, but the mushrooms were poisonous and the whole family was wiped out.

Li Qingshan pursed his lips and looked at her disapprovingly. He took the girl's picking hand and said seriously: "Do you know these fungi? Are they poisonous?"

Her hand was held by the man's big palm. Lin Shiru struggled to break away and turned to look at the man dissatisfied: "Hey, I know you! This cooking is delicious."

Carefully picked up a chanterelle and handed it to Li Qingshan, "Smell it, it has a unique almond flavor. This is a good thing. It tastes delicious when cooked in soup."

Not only was he a different person, there were a lot more things on his head. Li Qingshan covered his lips and calmly took the small yellow fungus in Lin Yaner's hand and sniffed it. It did have some almond aroma.

"Have you picked them all?" Seeing Lin Shiru busy picking, Li Qingshan also put down the bamboo basket on his back and squatted to pick along with him.

"No, no, no, the small ones can still grow again. You just need to pick the larger ones." Lin Shiru quickly grabbed Li Qingshan's hand as he prepared to remove the larger chanterelles from Kalami.

"Oh, that's it." Li Qingshan curled his lips, a smile flashed in his eyes.

Lin Shiru, who was busy picking fungi, didn't pay attention to Li Qingshan's little movements at all, and picked the fungi into his back basket with great excitement.

In just ten minutes, all the fungi were picked up.

Lin Shiru took the half-cooked chicken and said, "Brother Li, let's go to the creek."

There was nothing she could do, her stomach kept growling, and she couldn't stand it anymore.

"You..." Li Qingshan's eyes fell on Lin Shiru's little arms and legs.

"No, no need..." Lin Shiru waved her hands quickly.

Help, is she really too shy?

Lin Shiru only heard the man chuckle, and then calmly opened the way ahead with a bamboo pole on his back.

"Brother Li, have you been herding cattle in the mountains before?"

"Ah."

"Then you said that there are tigers and wild boars in the mountains, and you are not afraid of them alone?" The man paused slightly: "You were afraid when you were a child, but you are not afraid anymore."

"When you were a child? Did you also need to go into the mountains to herd cattle when you were a child?" Lin Shiru was really curious.

Just herding cattle sounds quite relaxing, and according to her grandmother, in the past, half-year-old children went to the valley to herd cattle for a day, but in Linjia Village, Li Qingshan was responsible for the seven or eight cows in the village alone.

Not to mention that she often saw Li Qingshan carrying a lot of weeds or straws home.

"When I was young, all the children knew how to herd cows, but it was at the foot of the mountain. You and I..." Li Qingshan suddenly stopped smiling.

Li Qingshan lowered his eyes, and then said: "You must not even remember."

After all, Lin Yan'er's personality has completely changed since that incident. Lin Yan'er now has exactly the same personality as the little girl before, but she has no memories of the past...

For some reason, Lin Shiru seemed to hear grievances from the man, as if he was saying that she was a scumbag...

"I, I was just scared by the cow before and forgot about it." Lin Shiru said in a panic.

"Oh, I'm hungry." Lin Shiru stamped her feet. She couldn't explain it, so she just let it go.

"Okay, let's go." The girl was embarrassed, but for some reason, Li Qingshan suddenly felt much happier.

He would not tell her that those previous actions of deliberately holding the cow to scare her were to confirm something...

After spending a lot of time walking and stopping along the way, Lin Shiru vaguely heard the sound of water. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the man in front of him say: "We're here."

As Lin Shiru came closer, he saw water droplets splashing onto the rocks, making a crisp and sweet sound, and falling into the small pool.

After wiping the sweat from her face, Lin Shiru rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs and ran over quickly.

She scooped up a handful of water and sprinkled it on her face. The droplets of water looked like diamonds and pearls under the sunlight of autumn.

The water droplets fell from the face to the surface of the water, making a "ding-dong-ding-dong" sound.

Lin Shiru's eyes shone brightly, and she looked directly at the man with a smile: "Brother Li, you are so amazing, you can actually find such a creek."

"I found it by chance while tending cattle."

Li Qingshan took out the things on his back and put them aside carefully.

"How are you going to get this meat?"

"Oh, I need to make a fire to cook it, but I need to find something." Lin Shiru wiped away the water drops on his face.

"Brother Li, you need to set up a stove first. I'll come over after I find what I need."

Lin Shiru took the sickle and looked for it along the stream.

I hope she has better luck and can find wild ginger. Wild ginger has a pungent taste but can remove the fishy smell. It is barely usable. It should not be too difficult to find this season.

Obviously Lin Shiru was very lucky. Not only did she find wild ginger, but she also found a lot of good things.

Fortunately, she brought salt. Lin Shiru admired herself very much for her foresight. You must know that without salt, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it will be useless.

Lin Shiru quickly returned to where he was with a lot of things.

He reached into his pocket and found it was empty.

"Huh?" Lin Shiru was dumbfounded.

She was feeling proud just now, but now she was panicking.

“Where’s my salt?!”
