Chapter 96 Harvesting Honey
Wen Li glanced up unintentionally and was surprised to find that Guo Caixia had actually gone out today. After resting for a few days, her complexion was even worse than before. Today, she was not covering her face with a headscarf, and a scar ran across her entire cheek on her delicate face, making her look particularly ferocious.
Following her gaze, one could see Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Chen walking together. Although there was some distance between them, one could still sense the ambiguous atmosphere between them.
Wen Li pulled Chen Yan away from them, intending to watch the show.
There were many people on the mountain, so everyone walked a little deeper into the mountains. Before long, everyone's baskets were full of mushrooms.
Wen Li only recognized termite mushrooms, while Chen Yan didn't recognize any of them. After asking Li Xiangxiang about any unfamiliar ones, the two of them put them into their baskets.
She grew up in the village and can recognize which mushrooms are edible at a glance.
Wen Li kept an eye on Guo Caixia. Seeing that Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Chen had moved away from the crowd, Guo Caixia pretended to follow them with her basket.
Seeing Jiang Chen and the others heading towards the deep mountains, Wen Li greeted Chen Yan and followed them.
After entering the deep mountains, Jiang Chen and his companion cautiously looked around. Seeing that no one was nearby, they embraced each other and then began to kiss.
Wenli:......
Wen Li looked disappointed. She thought the two of them were going to look for treasure again, but it turned out they were having an affair!
She hid quietly behind the tree, watching Guo Caixia's pale face turn from blue to black, her fingers digging deeply into the tree trunk, her eyes bloodshot, as if she hated him to the extreme.
Just as the two were getting more and more passionate, Wen Li heard faint footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw that Lu Zechuan had followed her.
Wen Li blushed; it was quite embarrassing to be seen peeping!
Lu Zechuan squatted down beside her, blocking her view. "Don't look, you'll get a sty!"
Wen Li's face turned even redder. "Why did you come here?"
Lu Zechuan's face was completely serious, showing no sign of guilt. "I saw you acting suspiciously, so I followed you to check it out!"
Wen Li glared at him speechlessly, wanting to see how long Guo Caixia could hold out, but Lu Zechuan thought she still wanted to see those two people, so he raised his hand and covered her eyes.
"Don't look, it's an eyesore!"
A warm, large hand covered her face, and Wen Li's vision went black. "Let me go! I don't want to see them!"
Jiang Chen and the other person had had enough of kissing and touching, and they hugged each other to calm down.
Jiang Yue'er looked at Jiang Chen with tender affection, "Brother Chen, when can I marry you?"
Jiang Chen patted Jiang Yue'er soothingly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. "Be good, it'll be quick!"
Wen Li turned to look at Guo Caixia, who was already in tears, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Chen was no longer as infatuated as before.
Wow! I feel like my love-struck mind is about to awaken!
The two kissed for a while longer and whispered to each other before turning back.
Guo Caixia watched the two figures leave, her face extremely calm, but her eyes were brewing a storm.
After Guo Caixia left, Wen Li and Lu Zechuan slowly stood up.
"Come on, I'll take you to get some honey!"
Wen Li's eyes lit up. "Do you know where there are beehives?"
"Hmm! I discovered it by accident!"
Wen Li followed Lu Zechuan into the deep mountains. She had been active in the south before, but this time Lu Zechuan led her eastward. There were many rocks and few trees here, and there was a not-so-high mountain in front of them.
That was Lu Zechuan's destination.
The two arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw a large piece of honey hanging on the cliff, with countless bees circling around it.
"It's too steep here, how do we get up?"
"Follow me!"
Wen Li followed Lu Zechuan around to the other side, and then went up the mountain along a small path.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, the view suddenly opened up. The two went to the foot of the mountain, where Lu Zechuan picked up a three-meter-long wooden stick, tied a sickle to one end, and then tore off a few vines to tie to the basket. The basket was filled with leaves to prevent anything from spilling out.
"You hold the basket, I'll harvest the honey!"
Wen Li nodded, carefully pulled on the vine, and slowly lowered the basket, aiming it at the honey.
Lu Zechuan picked up a long stick and started cutting honey from the basket. The action seemed simple, but it was actually quite difficult to cut the honey off.
It took the two of them a great deal of effort to barely cut off a small piece.
"Hold on tight, let me try to cut off that big piece!"
"Okay, be careful!"
Lu Zechuan leaned forward, his arm muscles bulging from the effort, large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. He stared intently at the cliff below, his sharply defined profile drawing even more attention.
"Look at the basket, not me!"
His sudden voice caught Wen Li off guard. Being caught peeking made her even more embarrassed than when she had just peeked at Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Chen.
When Wen Li turned her head, she didn't see Lu Zechuan's upturned lips.
It took the two of them almost an hour to fill the basket.
Wen Li pulled the basket up, her eyes crinkling with a smile as she looked at the basket full of golden honey. She dipped her finger in the honey and tasted it. "So sweet!"
Lu Zechuan seemed to be infected by her joyful mood, and he also dipped his finger in the liquid. "It really is sweet!"
Wen Li, disregarding her embarrassment, exclaimed, "Let's hurry down the mountain, or it'll all be exposed!"
Let's go!
Honey is a precious commodity, so Lu Zechuan picked a few more leaves to cover it, but the unique sweet aroma of honey still wafted out. To avoid being reported, the two took a small path down the mountain, staying away from the crowds, and no one noticed what was in their basket.
Back in her room, Wen Li found a clean bowl and put the honey in it.
Do you have any canned food jars over there?
"Yes, I'll go get it!"
A moment later, Lu Zechuan brought over five clean jars, and the two of them worked together to fill the jars with honey. The bright yellow honey looked so delicious that it made one's mouth water.
"I'll take one bottle, you can keep the rest!"
"Oh? So many! Take two more bottles!"
"No need, I don't eat sweets much. I'll take it back to Xu Yuan and the others!"
"Sure, come back and get more if it's not enough!"
"Let me know when you're done eating, and I'll go get some more for you!"
"good!"
Seeing that the educated youth were gradually returning, Lu Zechuan couldn't stay any longer and left. A moment before he left, Wen Li put the honey into her spatial storage.
Before long, Chen Yan returned carrying half a basket of mushrooms on her back.
"Little Pear, when did you get back?"
"I just arrived too, how's it going?"
"We were lucky today, we found a pheasant! Let's make chicken and mushroom soup tonight!"
"Sure, I'll cook!"
Everyone had a good harvest today. Wenli took out the wild boar meat that they hadn't eaten before and stir-fried it with mushrooms, adding some garlic sprouts. It was so delicious that all three of them ate two big bowls of rice.
