I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 428 Give Me a Bow

“In November, snakes should all be hibernating,” Hua Junshu said.

Jiang Yingzhu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, then let's go together."

Li Yan also went over, and indeed there were wild vegetables in some broad-leaved forests and thickets.

It is usually called "big ear hair" or "east wind vegetable". Both the tender shoots and tender leaves are edible.

This timing is just right.

However, that patch of bushes was full of thorns, and there was no wild radish.

Li Yan smashed the thorn bushes with a few quick taps of his stick.

The inside is exposed.

A tangled mess of thorns.

Jiang Yingzhu and the other two were already used to this scene, and they all knew that Li Yan was strong.

Seeing this, Jiang Yingzhu sighed.

"Why is it so difficult to find wild vegetables?"

"You expect to reap rewards after just entering the mountains?"

Li Yan continued to lead the way, and soon pointed to a plant that was as long as a child's calf, lush green, and with large leaves.

"Pick them, Dongfeng vegetables."

Seeing this, Jiang Yingzhu quickly went up and cut it off with a knife.

Then I held it in my hand, looked at it from left to right, and even took a picture and posted it in the class group.

Jiang Yingzhu casually replied to a few messages and then pouted.

"This Feiyun Mountain is really not good, it doesn't even have 4G."

Jiang Yingzhu remembers going back to her hometown to burn paper money at Xiaodongshan during the Qingming Festival, when her mobile phone only had 2G.

At this moment, Hua Junshu said, "Li Yan, I want to pick some too."

“Me too,” Mei Mengqian quickly chimed in.

"Don't worry, we have them all." Li Yan moved forward a little further and then asked Mengmeng to pick shepherd's purse.

Jiang Yingzhu watched from the side, feeling a little envious.

Both of them grew up in the countryside, so Li Yan knew about these wild vegetables, but he couldn't remember them.

She only vaguely remembered eating it.

If this Dongfeng vegetable is cooked and plated, I'm sure I'll recognize it at a glance.

And this shepherd's purse, when made into shepherd's purse dumplings, you can tell by the aroma!

Jiang Yingzhu shook her head and sighed, thinking to herself that Li Yan had managed to pull it off.

She was the one who suggested coming to the mountain, and she acted very professionally.

As she pondered, she looked around, trying to find someone she knew to save face.

Suddenly, she saw several white patches on the grass over there.

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes lit up; she finally saw someone she recognized. Pointing over there, she said:

"Look, it's a dandelion!"

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu looked over and saw dandelions not far away.

From a distance, they look like flowers, and there are no obstacles on the road.

They went with Jiang Yingzhu and picked all the dandelions.

Mei Mengqian stared intently at the few flowers in her hand, afraid that if she moved too much, she would lose the white seeds on them.

"Are dandelions edible?"

“Yes, it can also be used to make tea.” Hua Junshu nodded.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Yan, who had walked over, asked a devilish question.

"So, do you want to eat it, or play with it?"

Without hesitation, Jiang Yingzhu pointed the dandelion in her hand at Li Yan and blew a breath out.

The white seeds suddenly flew up and landed all over Li Yan's face.

"Hehe, what's so good about dandelions? There are so many on the mountain, of course they're for playing with."

Seeing this, Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu followed suit and planted their seeds on Li Yan.

Li Yan casually waved his hand, gathering a handful of seeds, and planted them on them.

"ah!"

Dandelion seeds are lightweight, but the three of them still felt a little awkward when they landed on them.

Li Yan continued to clear the way.

There was no clear goal, nor was there any idea of ​​going around the entire mountain and plowing it all.

Pick whatever you come across.

As you slowly climb the mountain, you'll gradually see pine trees.

"Shushu, there are matsutake mushrooms over there."

Hua Junshu, Jiang Yingzhu, and Mei Mengqian looked over and saw patches of dark brown mushrooms under a pine tree.

The group immediately went over and picked them together.

Jiang Yingzhu also took a look around at a few pine trees nearby.

Did you notice?

"We've picked a lot of things."

Jiang Yingzhu walked back, put all the matsutake mushrooms in her hand into Li Yan's basket, glanced inside, and couldn't help but sigh.

Watching the videos of people rushing to the mountains, it takes them ages to find something.

But Jiang Yingzhu felt that as she walked away from Li Yan, she would always encounter suitable wild vegetables, mushrooms, or wood ear fungus along the way.

It would be great if we could find some fruit.

She was thinking to herself when they came across an orange tree.

Even up in the mountains, the oranges on this orange tree turned yellow in November.

Mei Mengqian looked at the tree with some curiosity. She knew about oranges and that oranges grew on trees.

But this is the first time I've seen it in person.

"Zhuzhu, don't pick it yet, let me take a picture."

Jiang Yingzhu nodded, knowing that Mengmeng was from the city, so she didn't rush up immediately.

She also took out her phone, took a picture, and posted it in the class group.

Show off to the city bumpkins in the class.

Hua Junshu also took out his phone and took a picture, but he didn't intend to share it; he just kept it as a memento.

After taking a photo, she couldn't help but ask:

"Is this orange tree wild?"

"Right, it's also possible that someone else planted it."

Hua Junshu nodded, walked closer, and took a look.

"There are no signs of grafting, indicating sexual reproduction. It is not artificially cultivated and grows deep in the forest. Its leaves are small and its crown is messy, so it should be wild."

Jiang Yingzhu opened her mouth slightly, pondering the biology knowledge she had learned, but felt there was nothing to add.

This is to show that they are also top students, so as not to be fooled by the older students' pretense.

Although the senior student probably didn't intend to pretend.

After stumbling and stammering for a while, Jiang Yingzhu said:

"Wild oranges don't taste good, and there are worms in them. I'll pick them and give them to Grandpa Qin."

Hua Junshu and the other two looked completely bewildered.

Jiang Yingzhu scratched her head. "Just kidding. Let's pick a few to try."

As she spoke, she had already picked three.

The orange tree wasn't tall, so she could pick the oranges without having to stand on tiptoe.

Jiang Yingzhu returned with three oranges in her hand and gave one to each of Li Yan and the other two. "Try them and see if they're good."

Hua Junshu and Mei Mengqian looked at Zhuzhu speechlessly.

Li Yan stuffed the orange back into Jiang Yingzhu's hand.

"You eat, ladies first."

"No, men and women are equal."

Li Yan casually tossed the oranges into his basket.

"I don't want to eat it, give it to Lao Li."

"Oh." Jiang Yingzhu went back and picked a few more. "Give some more, and let Uncle Li give some to Lao Deng."

After Jiang Yingzhu finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment and then said:

"never mind."

Li Yan glanced at her, knowing that his childhood sweetheart wasn't thinking about making up.

Based on his understanding of Jiang Yingzhu.

At that moment, she must have been thinking that she couldn't let Old Deng eat anything good.

Jiang Yingzhu thought to herself: No, just because I think oranges don't taste good doesn't mean Lao Deng thinks so.

That guy was used to hardship back then, so he thinks even orange peel tastes good, let alone wild oranges.

They're used to hardship, so they might even think I'm trying to be nice to them.

Over here, driven by curiosity, Mei Mengqian had already peeled an orange.

After breaking off a segment of fruit and confirming there were no worms, she tasted it.

It tastes a bit sour, which doesn't match the already completely yellow skin.

However, she can still accept it.

The aroma was quite strong, and she decided to try another one.

However, as soon as I broke open the fruit, I saw a small white worm.

Mei Mengqian's expression changed, and she dropped the orange in her hand to the ground.

Hua Junshu glanced at it from the side and silently pulled back the fingernails he was using to pick at the orange peel.

She had never eaten wild oranges before.

We couldn't eat it when our parents were still alive.

I won't be able to eat it after my parents passed away.

However, this doesn't mean the orange is useless. It can be placed on the table to ward off the Laba Festival.

So as not to disturb her while she is working.

Hua Junshu tossed it into his basket.

Li Yan and his three companions lingered by the orange tree for a while before continuing their exploration.

As they walked, Hua Junshu noticed something strange again.

There were indeed no mosquitoes in the mountains during this weather.

But there should be quite a few other insects.

But they didn't encounter any spider webs along the way, not even in the path they were on.

She glanced curiously at the stick in Li Yan's hand.

Could it be that the stick is not only hard, but also has an insect-repelling effect?

Hua Junshu was lost in thought, while Mei Mengqian was busy observing the mountain forest.

In the past, we walked on man-made mountain paths.

The vegetation on both sides was relatively neat.

But it's different here; it has a bit of a primitive feel to it.

This is suitable for recording her material.

Jiang Yingzhu was also observing, but unlike Mei Mengqian, she was looking for rabbits.

"Li Yan, do you think there might be no rabbits on this mountain?"

"How is that possible? Rabbits can reproduce in a litter, they reproduce more often than pigs."

Jiang Yingzhu nodded. "Then why can't I find it?"

"You're not observing carefully."

As Li Yan spoke, he used his divine sense to guide a rabbit that was sleeping on the ground to crawl out, and then pointed at it.

Jiang Yingzhu was about to retort when she saw the stick in Li Yan's hand pointing in one direction.

She immediately turned her head and, through the gaps in the weeds, vaguely saw a gray rabbit, which looked like it had just woken up and was squatting in the same spot, looking confused.

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes lit up. She immediately held her breath, drew her wood-chopping knife, and swiftly flew over.

Click!

The machete spun as it cleaved through the bushes and weeds, landing a meter away from the rabbit.

Jiang Yingzhu sighed in disappointment, and saw the rabbit indeed flee in fright.

However, perhaps because it was still half asleep, it crashed headfirst into a tree, leaving it completely disoriented.

"Haha, this rabbit is so stupid!"

Hua Junshu and Mei Mengqian also noticed this and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Were you knocked unconscious?"

"Does this count as waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump?"

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at the distance, quickly went around the obstacle, and picked up the rabbit.

"Look, I caught a rabbit."

Li Yan rolled his eyes. "Did you catch that? I think you should kowtow to that pine tree."

"Of course I caught it. My machete startled it, otherwise it wouldn't have crashed into the tree."

Li Yan smiled and said, "So, I was the one who pointed out the rabbit, so the credit belongs to me. You should kowtow to me."

"Hmph!" Jiang Yingzhu turned her head away, ignoring him, and started discussing with Mengmeng and her senior how to eat rabbit.

Li Yan calculated the time and the gains, and then said:

"It's noon, let's go back. It'll take time to deal with this rabbit."

"Is this a good idea?" Mei Mengqian hesitated.

She didn't find bunnies cute or anything like that.

It's just a wild rabbit; hunting it privately seems illegal.

Li Yan smiled and said, "It's alright, Qiqi Company will handle it."

Even if you're cultivating immortality, you still can't eat a wild rabbit.

Mei Mengqian nodded, feeling much more at ease as she thought about the company Li Yan owned.

At the same time, she felt that Li Yan was becoming more and more different.

If a normal high school student owned a company like this, they would probably be lawless by now.

Taking the main road down the mountain is much faster.

Jiang Yingzhu arrived at Grandpa Qin's door with half a basket of things on her back.

"Grandpa, these are for you."

Grandpa Qin glanced at the pile of grass inside.

"Bamboo girl, go gather pig feed. Grandpa doesn't raise pigs."

Jiang Yingzhu's expression turned serious.
"These are wild vegetables, and there are even oranges in them!"

She introduced each of the clearly categorized wild vegetables one by one.

Seeing the growing surprise in Grandpa Qin's eyes, Jiang Yingzhu slightly raised her chin.

TuTu from Grandma Tian's house next door was also attracted.

After Jiang Yingzhu finished speaking, she said in a clear voice, "Sister Zhuzhu is so amazing!"
