Chapter 352: Little Mushroom Girl

The forest was surrounded by barbed wire to increase security and prevent wild animals from breaking into the community.
The residents living near here had this concern—almost every household had a dog.
While Li Du was thinking about how they could bypass the barbed wire to enter woods, a very fierce Husky ran over to them and aggressively barked at Crispy Noodles.
Sophie was a little scared, and waved her hand frantically at the dog. ”Get back! We aren’t bad guys! Please go home! Stop barking!”
With its tail wagging and wide eyes, the dog rushed up to Sophie while she was waving her hand.
Sophie was terrified! She thought the Husky was going to bite her. But it proved to be one of the least aggressive dog breeds. The Husky ran around Sophie and continue barking at Crispy Noodles, trying to protect her.
Sophie was touched, yet amused. Li Du also found it amusing, and thought this Husky was good at picking up girls.
It was very common to see raccoons in the woods; this animal often broke into people’s trash. Dogs would naturally chase these animals away, and people trained them to do so.
Also, after Li Du had come to Flagstaff, he found that the United States had a very rare occupation that was not common in China: a dog trainer.
They believed that this husky was a trained dog as he was so focused on Crispy Noodles.
The raccoon was a gentle-tempered animal, however, and Crispy Noodles sighed innocently while the Husky barked at him. He was sitting on the ground and stared at the dog with limpid eyes.
Youngster, don’t you feel ashamed to yell at me with the way I’m staring at you?
The Husky continued to bark aggressively. ”Woof, woof, woof, woof!”
Ah Meow was getting impatient; it ran up and jumped on a tree stump next to them. It dived off of the stump like a hawk and after it landed showed its claws and fangs, giving a fierce look to the Husky.
The Husky tilted its head and blinked at him, then suddenly his tail tucked itself between his legs and the dog ran away.
Sophie asked, ”What is going on?”
Li Du shrugged his shoulders. ”Who knows? This is a Husky—they are mentally ill.”
Ah Meow became upset and thought: What? Why didn’t you say so earlier? I was so close to that psychosis! I hope I wasn’t infected!
Li Du finally found an entrance: a small gate in the middle of the barbed wire. He opened it and beckoned Sophie over. ”Come! Let’s go this way.”
Sophie started worrying. ”Will there be snakes?”
Li Du threw Ah Meow into the woods like the way soldiers threw grenades. After waiting thirty seconds and seeing Ah Meow still alive and upset with him, he shouted, ”No!”
The trees didn’t seem very huge or strong. Obviously, the woods hadn’t been here for a long time. The underbrush was thriving, however, the plants along the ground flourishing. Li Du took a deep breath. ”The air is really fresh here!”
Sophie used a stick to sweep away the weeds, and looked surprised staring at the base of a tree. ”Look! Li! I found a bed of mushrooms here! This is great!”
Li Du stared at the mushrooms, wondering where that many mushroom spores had come from; there must have been millions of them.
The mushrooms around the root of the tree looked chubby and white. Their shapes were regular: round with a thick cap. They were soft to touch. Sophie flipped through her book.
