Seeing his face full of praise, Xu Qinghe didn't hold back her words, "Great job, Chuan Chuan can help Auntie now, go and pick some more."

She didn't have any children in the apocalypse, but that didn't stop her from seeing how excellent mothers raised their children.

If the mother is a little lazy, the children will be very diligent, so Xu Qinghe plans to cultivate them this way from a young age.

Under Xu Qinghe's constant flattery, the two children worked harder and harder, and in no time they had picked all the chanterelle mushrooms from the small patch.

As soon as Shen Chengyue finished picking the mushrooms, he looked at Xu Qinghe. Xu Qinghe glanced around and said calmly, "Chengyue, take the stick and search again to see if there are any missed mushrooms."

Since this area has a suitable environment for chanterelle mushrooms to grow, there should be other mushrooms as well.

To everyone's surprise, Shen Chengyue searched for a long time but couldn't find any other mushrooms. Meanwhile, Xu Qinghe secretly released her supernatural power on the weeds while Shen Chengyue was searching for mushrooms.

Immediately afterwards, countless tiny points of light appeared in my mind, but they were all very weak and did not possess any particularly powerful energy.

Even so, Xu Qinghe did not give up. She carried the basket on her back, picked up Shen Chengchuan, and led Shen Chengyue deeper into the area.

There was nothing they could do; the four of them had been kicked out empty-handed. The family was currently short of money and food, and Xu Qinghe wouldn't easily return unless she brought back something valuable.

Shen Chengyue, standing to the side, clearly shared the same idea as Xu Qinghe. As he walked, he kept sweeping away the weeds around him, trying to find something to eat.

Just as Shen Chengyue finished sweeping away the surrounding weeds, a bluish-green object suddenly caught his attention, and he subconsciously tugged at Xu Qinghe's clothes.

Xu Qinghe, who was walking ahead, stopped immediately when he pulled her. She looked at Shen Chengyue in confusion and saw him pointing to the weeds on the side with a surprised look in his eyes.

Xu Qinghe followed his gaze and saw a nest of wild eggs nestled among the crushed weeds.

"Wow! We've struck it rich!" Xu Qinghe exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise.

"Quickly! Go and get it back!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyue ran towards the wild eggs without a second thought, and Xu Qinghe, who was following behind, quickly followed.

Looking down, I saw more than a dozen greenish-blue wild eggs hidden in the weeds.

Because her wood element is only at level one, she can only recognize the energy of plants and cannot sense the energy of animals, so she can only eat vegetarian food for now.

However, the appearance of these wild eggs instantly cleared Xu Qinghe's mind. The two carefully picked up the wild eggs and hid them at the bottom of their baskets. Xu Qinghe then had a new idea.

"Chengyue, go and pick some weeds and leaves for me."

Although Shen Chengyue did not understand Xu Qinghe's meaning, after the two incidents, he was convinced that he could find food by following Xu Qinghe, so he went without any hesitation.

The method to deal with Shen Chengchuan is even simpler: just find a piece of land and have him count the insects on it.

This is why Xu Qinghe is willing to be with children; they're easy to fool.

After sending the two of them away, Xu Qinghe began to use her supernatural ability to cultivate a weed covered with seeds.

Because she focused all her supernatural abilities on cultivating a single plant, the weed soon emitted intense energy and a faint glow.

Seeing that her bait had worked perfectly, Xu Qinghe was overjoyed. The next step was to dig the trap.

She didn't look for another place, but dug a hole not far from the wild eggs, and filled it with sharp little sticks, sticking them in densely.

Then they spread the wild grass that Shen Chengyue had picked evenly on top, then sprinkled a thin layer of soil on top, and finally put the bait on top.

After everything was settled, Xu Qinghe left with the two children. Whether they could catch the pheasant was up to fate.

Even after leaving this place, Xu Qinghe did not give up searching for valuable plants, continuously releasing energy as she walked.

Just then, a bright light finally appeared in her mind, startling Xu Qinghe so much that she picked up one of them and pulled the other along, running towards the bright light without thinking.

Stop at the spot where the bright light is flashing, gently move the debris on the tree, and you will see a palm-sized Ganoderma lucidum growing on the trunk, glowing.

Before she could get excited, Shen Chengyue spoke first, "Lingzhi."

Xu Qinghe asked in surprise, "You know him?"

Shen Chengyue nodded calmly.

Although Xu Qinghe was puzzled as to how a five-year-old child could recognize Ganoderma lucidum, she carefully picked the Ganoderma lucidum from the tree and put it into her basket, without going any further.

Firstly, it was getting late, and the two children would be hungry if they didn't go back soon. Secondly, it was too far, and she was afraid the two children wouldn't be able to walk back.

With this Ganoderma lucidum, the family's difficulties can be temporarily resolved; there's no need to try to get rich quick.

But that's not the main reason. The main reason is that her wood-type ability is only at level one, so her detection energy is limited. At most, she can only find this palm-sized Ganoderma lucidum. If she wants to find something better, she still needs to upgrade.

So on the way back, Xu Qinghe focused on accumulating plant energy instead of releasing it.

The energy of any plant she touches flows into her body through her fingertips, but she can only accumulate the energy of weeds, which is negligible.

I walked and absorbed energy all the way, and after struggling for most of the day, I only managed to break through half of my energy limit. It will take a long time before I can upgrade.

Although the energy was not much, she gained something else: wild pear trees. They weren't very big, only about the size of her fist, and the bark was thick, but they were crisp and sweet. So Xu Qinghe didn't hesitate to pick half a basketful to take back.

The basket was now completely full. Looking at Shen Chengchuan, who was still waiting for her to carry him with wide eyes, Xu Qinghe could only coax him, "Chuanchuan, be good, walk by yourself, okay? When we get home, Auntie will cook you some eggs." As she spoke, she gave him a pear.

Tempted by the pears, Shen Chengchuan finally agreed to walk on his own, though he walked very slowly. But since they were going back early, Xu Qinghe wasn't in a hurry. While waiting for them, she quietly observed the surrounding plants to prepare for their next trip into the mountains.

Shen Chengyue, on the other hand, was very anxious and couldn't wait to see their trap. When he got impatient, he would even carry Shen Chengchuan a few steps.

But that was not as effective as Shen Chengchuan walking on his own. Xu Qinghe had no choice but to carry the basket a short distance before coming back to carry Shen Chengchuan.

Exhausted, she couldn't help but think that she couldn't bring the two of them with her next time she went out. After finally reaching the trap, Shen Chengyue broke away from them and ran towards the trap before they even got there.

As soon as he got there, he couldn't help but excitedly shout to Xu Qinghe, "Gotcha! Gotcha!"

Xu Qinghe was delighted to hear this, and with great effort, she picked up Shen Chengchuan and ran towards the trap.
