Chapter 35 - Encounter

At noon, Gu Meng followed Su Yu's instructions, washed the white fungus clean, put it in a pot and boiled it into soup. After it was cooked, the white fungus turned into a bright red color.

 

Su Yu took the lead and served herself a bowl, and Lin Yi also followed suit. The rest of them came to serve one after another.

 

The soup made from white fungus is delicious. The fungus has a delicious and smooth taste that makes people unable to stop. In a short time, the body began to get warm.

 

Unlike the heating from the sun or a stove on the outside, this is a kind of warmth inside the body.

 

After several people had a bowl, they even sweated slightly.

 

Li Zhun was excited and said, "You are amazing! Thanks to Gu Meng's discovery of this fungus and Su Yu, your knowledge really helped us a lot!"

 

Gu Meng blushed shyly.

 

Su Yu slightly lowered her head and drank the soup with a guilty conscience. She just had a cheat sheet.

 

After several people finished their lunch, they took a nap and their bodies were still warm until around 2 p.m. when the coldness struck.

 

Lin Yiran estimated, "The portion of a bowl of white fungus can provide heat for two to three hours. In the future, when we go out to find supplies, we can bring some in a thermos cup."

 

"Great!"

Li Zhun was excited, "With this, it won't be too sufferable to go out and find supplies!"

 

Everyone nodded in agreement.

 

Gu Meng thought of her classmates and teachers and sighed, "I don't know if they have eaten this white fungus at the resettlement point..."

 

Su Yu thought for a moment, as if she hadn't heard Lin Yiran mention that it was after the Dragon Boat Festival that the people at the resettlement point discovered the white fungus.

 

Lin Yiran considered it more comprehensively: "Let's observe for a while. If there are no problems, I will send some to them and let the resettlement point know about it as well."

 

No one is a cold-blooded executioner. There are so many white fungi outside that they can't finish eating. Telling the resettlement point can save more people.

 

Su Yu thought of the scene she saw at that time at the resettlement point and nodded in agreement.

 

In the afternoon, they didn't go out and focused on practicing. However, Gu Meng has been concerned about the outside situation and looked out the window from time to time.

 

"Someone has picked it, that's great."

 

Gu Meng thought of the scene where those people ate the white fungus, and smiled, and continued to practice.

 

The next day, the aroma of white fungus came from many apartments. Several people brought bags and basins and rushed to the back hill to pick the white fungus. Others also knew that they were fine after eating the white fungus, and the most important thing was that the people on the 17th floor also ate the white fungus as usual the day before, so they all rushed to bring things and went to the back hill to pick.

 

A few of them avoided competing with others and went deeper into the back hill. Each of them found a tree to pick the white fungus.

 

Su Yu picked the white fungus while Stowaway it into the space. In a few hours, there were several bags of white fungus in her space.

 

This kind of good thing, who would not want more? Besides, two fungi can grow again, so Su Yu picked very actively, running from one tree to another.

 

While picking, they ran into Chen Xue and her lover. The man kept looking at Su Yu with an unpleasant gaze. Su Yu looked at him coldly with an axe in her hand, and warned, "If you say one more word, I'll take your mouth too!"

 

The man was very wary of the axe and diverted his gaze. He muttered something that made Su Yu unhappy.

 

"You!"

 

The several boys stepped forward and were ready to hit someone.

 

Suddenly, Su Yu sneered, swung an axe at the tree, which scared the few people, and warned, "If you look at me again with those eyes, I'll blind you. If you talk nonsense, I'll make you mute. It's your own fault..."

 

The man was scared and smiled with a flattering face, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Then he quickly left with Chen Xue.

 

Li Zhun cursed at their backs, "Shameless old thing!" Qiu Qin nodded in deep agreement.

 

Bai Shang frowned, and suddenly felt a little worried about Gu Meng who was at home alone.

 

They kept picking until it was almost dark before stopping. In the middle, Bai Shang left early after asking Gu Meng.

 

When they returned in the evening, Gu Meng obviously heard about the matter from Bai Shang and asked Su Yu.

 

"Are you okay?"

 

Su Yu shook her head, "Don't worry, it's fine."

 

This kind of man is afraid of strong people and dares to look at her like that because she is a girl. Next time he looks at her like that, she will blind him and make him mute. It's his own fault...

 

The next morning, Li Zhun came over to gossip, "You'll never guess! That grandson was attacked last night!"

 

Su Yu was surprised.

 

"What?"

 

"Listening to it, that grandson was beaten up last night, and now he's lying in bed, unable to move, and his tongue was even...cut off!"

 

While speaking, Li Zhun stuck out his tongue and made a gesture with his right hand, like a performance.

 

"Wow!"

 

Gu Meng covered her mouth.

 

Su Yu frowned, thinking that the matter is too coincidental. Yesterday, after offending her, someone went to teach him a lesson in the evening, and even cut his tongue. What kind of hatred is this?

 

She looked at the few people, and they all looked surprised, not like faking it, so she put aside her suspicion.

 

After Su Yu left, Bai Shang changed his face, looking at Lin Yiran with complex eyes.

 

The boy sat quietly, wiping the dagger, and noticed Bai Shang's gaze, looking back at him. The black eyes seemed to have a whirlpool spinning inside.

 

He asked, "What's wrong?"

 

He looked so calm, nothing could be seen.

 

Bai Shang shook his head, nothing, and shifted his gaze. Only the tremor of his slightly quivering lips revealed his shock.

 

But no one knew about this.
