So, the three members of the Qiao family split into two groups, with Qiao Changshun driving the Donkey Cart and Qiao Dami weeding the fields, while Qiao Xiaomai took a carrying basket and hiked up the mountain.
Last time when she was collecting firewood on the mountain, she had explored around the whole foot of the mountain. This time, she walked straight up along the trail until there was no more road to follow, and that's when she stopped.
There were no more paths, she looked around, took out a machete from inside her storage space, and slowly started moving towards the right.
Her purpose of the mountain trip this time was not to set any sort of trap, but to fabricate an origin story for the white chili plant she had.
However, to divert attention, she used a small shovel to dig out a small pit about a meter deep and covered it with tree branches she chopped off with the machete.
