nNo Need

nShe did not stop looking until her superpower sight covered many kilometers. That made Qiao Xuan both surprised and happy, because the range was not fixed. She could clearly tell that when her superpower grew stronger, she was able to expand the range.

nHer superpower could grow, especially when it came to the season in which all matters were growing and everything was flourishing. In this environment, her power grew fast too.

nSo within this visible range, every tree, every piece of grass, every flower, and even every small ant on the grass root as well as the ground became extremely clear in her eyes.

n“Let’s go that way!”

nQiao Xuan pointed into one direction with a smile, and took Shao Yunduan there.

nShao Yunduan saw that she was so delighted, and decided to follow her lead rather than disappoint her.

nSoon they found one bunch of grass mushrooms under one tree. The mushroom had grey-brown umbrellas, and the stems were thick, white and tender. Qiao Xuan’s eyes sparkled as she said, “We are so lucky!”

nSeeing that she was squatting to pick them, Shao Yunduan could not help but respond. “Are they really safe?”

n“Of course!” Qiao Xuan took a bite of them. “Look!”

n“Hey, you!” Shao Yunduan had no time to stop her but said, “What are you doing, spit it now!”

nQiao Xuan spat and said with a smile, “You see, it is safe right?”

nShao Yunduan. “…”

nHe just had no idea how to react.

nShe did not have to make so much effort to prove the point!

nHe shivered and said, “Don’t do this again. Pick them if you want, but feed them to the roosters first before trying them yourself, okay?”

nIt was not worth dying because of a mushroom.

nQiao Xuan burst into laughter and nodded. “Okay, whatever you say!”

nShao Yunduan looked at her and wondered why she did not accept his advice.

nQiao Xuan waved at him. “Come and help me pick some!”

nInstead of turning her down, Shao Yunduan had no choice but to squat down and pick mushrooms for her.

nThen the two of them found some wild-growing needle mushrooms in brown-yellow color, red mushrooms in dark red color, as well as several kinds of fragrant shiitake mushrooms, fungus, pine milk mushrooms, and many more. Even several rare porcini mushrooms were picked.

nBut for the basket that was too small to hold everything, they were able to get more.

nThey even found some very fat and big brackens on one hill. They picked one armful of that and tied them into one bunch with a long thatch.

nSatisfied, Qiao Xuan smiled brightly. “This is a big harvest! We are so lucky today!”

nShao Yunduan smiled with slight delight. He nodded. “Yes!”

nIn the meanwhile, he was totally amazed…

nThere were many mushrooms in the mountains, but they were never so readily available for him to pick all the time.

nThey were just so lucky!

nThe two of them were just about to head home, when they ran into Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao who were strolling in the mountains.

n“Fifth Brother, Fifth Sister-in-law!”

nThe brother and sister waved at them, running at them joyfully.

n“Qi, Taotao, what a coincidence to run into you two!” Qiao Xuan’s eyes brightened.

nShao Xiaoqi scratched her head and smiled. “Yes, I put some traps down in the mountains the day before, so I am here to check to see if I caught anything. Fifth Brother, Fifth Sister-in-law, you have got so many mushrooms, and even bracken!”

nQiao Xuan smiled. “Those mushrooms are all so tasty, and so are the bracken. We are going to have a feast tonight!”

nShao Taotao was as worried as her fifth brother. She could not help but ask. “Many mushrooms in the mountains are not safe to eat. What about these?”
