On the shore, Alvin helped Pina process the river mussels, keeping both shells intact, removing the adductor muscles and discarding the mussel meat.

Wild river mussels contain numerous parasites and have excessive levels of bacteria.

Pina remembers it vividly.

When I first started trying beachcombing, it was inconvenient to boil water, so eating raw seafood was a terrible ordeal.

I had excruciating abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, and was so weak that I couldn't move for several days!
Fortunately, he was discovered by a kind person and taken to a small clinic for intravenous infusion, which saved his life.

Two acupuncture needles every half day; medication every three hours.

Recalling her past hardships, Pina looked down at the river clam in her hand and silently prayed for "The Good Man".

"It's a pity I didn't have time to ask him and her names..."

"I hope we can successfully form a happy family."

"Human beings, of different genders and the same age, forming a family is the perfect ending!"

As she pondered this, Pina gradually came to her senses and began to execute the next step of her plan.

Place the scallop on one of the carapace pieces.

Pina began to tear the clam meat apart.

Place a small piece of clam meat into another shell for later use.

Concentrating on cutting the clam meat, Pina glanced at Huang Musong out of the corner of her eye. She waited until he had taken off his wet clothes before speaking, and said crisply, "Boss Huang, could you please go and collect some firewood? Although you are my boss and I work for you at the boxing gym, it's time for us to go treasure hunting in the wild right now."

"The doro go pick wild berries, I'll go fishing, and Arwen will keep watch."

"You're the only one with nothing to do. Go gather firewood and quickly start a campfire."

After cutting the clam meat, Pina shook her hand, turned around, approached the riverbank, and squatted down to wash her claws.

Pina's personality is very different from that of the Doro.

Dorothy, Dorothy, and Donas are used to calling Huang Musong "The Man," but Pina feels that the title "Boss Huang" is more appropriate, as it is neither unfamiliar nor does it lack a sense of boundaries.

Apart from the form of address,

Pina's tone was also different from the Doro's.
At first glance, it sounds like a command.

In reality, Pina was not ordering Huang Musong; she simply preferred a more pragmatic way of expressing herself.

Although Pina joined the family late, they have been living together for quite a while now, so how could Huang Musong not understand her personality?
After listening to Pina's words, Huang Musong didn't say much. He changed into spare clothes and headed straight for the direction where the Doro had just gone.

There are dense forests over there, perfect for finding wild fruits and also convenient for collecting firewood.

Huang Musong was curious,
The Doro have been gone for almost ten minutes.
Have you picked your favorite Oorunji yet?

Perfect timing! While collecting firewood, I'll go check on the three little ones' progress.

Leaving Pina behind, Huang Musong headed straight for the woods, following in the footsteps of the doro.

Alvin watched him leave, a fleeting tenderness flashing in her beautiful eyes, adding a touch of girlish charm to her originally dashing and carefree demeanor.

Pina has witnessed far too many scenes of young couples being all lovey-dovey.

Some are ambiguous, some are unrestrained, some are subtle...

Huang Musong and Su Qingyao's relationship progressed from ambiguous to official.

Huang Musong and Alwen's relationship is still ambiguous and has not yet been formalized.

Whether or not they are officially recognized, how exactly do humans reproduce?

How mysterious!
After washing her paws, Pina's big eyes darted around, glancing at Alvin and then at Huang Musong, who had walked away.

"Stop spacing out!"

"Please keep watch on the surroundings and ensure the safety of the picnic area. I'll go fishing and grill some for you."

"Let's wait for the Doroes to come back together!"

Speaking to Alvin in the same tone she used when talking to Huang Musong, Pina quickly threw pieces of clam meat upstream to create a feeding area and attract fish.

Upon hearing this, Alvin remained silent, glancing around at her surroundings.

The surrounding area is extremely safe.
You can hear birds chirping.

Obviously, nothing dangerous will happen.

Blue sky and white clouds, surrounded by mountains, and green grass covering both banks of the stream...

pity!

Such a beautiful setting, yet Taihua and Su Qingyao didn't come along; otherwise, it would have been an even more perfect picnic later.

Alvin took deep breaths of the fresh air, which carried a faint, salty, fishy smell of clam meat, which was gradually faded by the mountain breeze. Meanwhile...
In the nearby woods, the doro left their picnic spot ten minutes early and found an area rich in wild fruits.

Donas walked at the front of the group, waving her toy sword haphazardly, wary of any potential danger.

Doro followed behind, marking the way to avoid getting lost on the return journey.

Dorothy followed closely behind Doraemon, holding the {Robit's Bow} in both hands, her eyes keenly observing all directions.

Seeing wild fruit trees in the distance, Doraemon's eyes lit up, and he happily ran forward.

Heading straight for the fruit trees,

Doraemon reached out and touched the heavy fruit that was lower down.

The orange-yellow, oval-shaped fruit emits a fresh and tangy aroma.

Yellow! Slightly round! Grows on trees!

Doro people usually refer to this type of fruit as 'Orunji'.

Even though the wild fruit clearly did not belong to the Citrus family, Doro still believed it to be Oh Runji, because it was big and plump and met the criteria for taking it back as a gift for someone (Huang Musong).

I tiptoed to try and pick wild fruit.
You can tiptoe, jump, and jump again... but you're always just a tiny bit short.

Doraemon, who is less than a meter tall, cannot pick the fruit.
It quickly waved to its two companions with a beaming smile, asking for their help.

With one hand waving and the other gently poking the bottom of the wild fruit, Doro exclaimed with delight, "What a huge wild 'Orunji'! Dorothy, Donas, what are you waiting for? Let's work together to pick the fruit, one 'Orunji' per person, and take it back to roast!"

Picnics are great for grilling fish over a fire, or you can grill fruit.

The roasted Oorunji loses its sourness and retains only sweetness, making it incredibly delicious.

Duo Luo couldn't wait to pick some wild fruit and take it back to Huang Musong to share the good news.

Well……

Not only should we share the good news with others, but we should also show off to Pina! Our Doro is amazing too!

The doro's skill in gathering wild fruits is no less than Pina's skill in fishing!
Looking forward to the upcoming picnic, Doraemon tried again to pick wild fruits on his own, but it was still in vain and he failed.

It seems that wild fruits can only be picked by working together with a partner?

I confirmed again that I couldn't pick the wild fruit.
Dorothy ran between Donas and Dorothy.
It pulled its companions by their paws closer to the fruit tree.

Dorothy was even more excited than Doraemon when she first spotted the wild fruit!
Such a huge oh-runji, just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

only……

Can wild Oorunji really grow this big?

Adjusting her glasses, Dorothy frowned, increasingly uneasy, wondering if someone had planted the large orange in front of her.

"If it really was planted by someone, it would be too presumptuous of us to pick it!" Dorothy said, reminding Doraemon to calm down.

Donas has a more sensitive sense of smell.
His wilderness survival experience is also richer than that of Dorothy and Doraemon.
It also has a feeling that 'the giant Orunji is not wild,' with a faint, distinctive scent of a certain type of small creature permeating the surroundings.

Without being able to explain why, but simply based on her sixth sense, Donas thought it would be better not to pick the fruit directly.

Doro was slow to react, and only when he saw his companions' hesitant expressions did he realize what was going on.

"That's right!"

"Can wild Runji really grow this big?"

"Perhaps someone planted it... I have a good idea, let's leave a small gift and exchange it for a wild Orunji." Doro muttered to himself, a sudden inspiration flashing in his mind, he decided to obtain the fruit honorably through a "transaction".

Leave a small gift and take away a wild fruit.

Even if someone planted the wild fruit, as long as it brings them a gift, they probably won't refuse!

Dorothy and Donas fully agreed with Doraemon's idea.

Each of them took out a small snack from their backpack.

Dorothy, Dorothy, and Donas placed the gifts side by side under the wild fruit tree.
They then worked together to pick wild berries.

Doro was sturdy and had the greatest strength. He bent over and crawled on his stomach to serve as a stepping stone.

Donas was also quite strong, and she bent over and climbed onto Doro's back as a second stepping stone.

Dorothy was the lightest, but despite her small size, she was strong enough to pick wild berries. Climbing onto Donas's back, Dorothy grabbed a berry and twisted it clockwise, slowly snapping the stem.

After a while

Three giant fruits were successfully harvested.

Dorothy, Dorothy, and Donas held the wild berries in their arms and sniffed their fragrance intently. (End of Chapter)
