”There are no fish in the water. What's the use of being pure? I can't even support a single fish. Otherwise, I can catch fish and feed them to my big brother every day.” Mu Jin curled his lips, and thinking back to the days when he had never eaten anything, he felt even more hatred for Mu Family.

stared at Mu Jin strangely. Could it be that the people here didn't eat prawns nor crabs? It can't be, what a waste.

After entering the mountain, Shen Jingli picked up a sturdy tree branch that was lying on the ground and gave it to Mu Jin, ”Take this, wave it while you walk, you can chase away some of the insect snakes that are hiding in the grass.”

”Alright.” Mu Jin took the branch and followed behind Shen Jingli.

Although his family was suffering from hardships, because his body was weak since he was young, his mother and brother would always take care of him and never let him do farm work, so he had never picked wild vegetables before. Now that he was in the mountains, he was like a wild horse without reins, full of curiosity.

Shen Jingli was not afraid to explain things to him in detail. They walked up a slope and around, but did not find any lentinus edodes, wood ears, etc.

”Sister-in-law, what are these?” Mu Jin picked a blade of grass and was about to put it in his mouth, but he was stopped by Shen Jingli.

”Don't put anything into your mouth until you've washed it clean, but you've heard of diseases coming from your mouth. Have you not heard of it?” What kind of education did this child receive? Why didn't he talk about hygiene at all?

”This is wormwood, it's used as a ingredient for the grass cuisine ku, and this is hairy bean. When it bears the fruit, we'll pick it again, then we'll make salt water hairy beans for you to eat as snacks.” Shen Jingli introduced them one by one.

”So it's edible.” Mu Jin licked his lips as he salivated, feeling hungry again.

”Greedy Cat.” Shen Jingli tapped his forehead, and walked towards the somewhat dark and humid slope on the other side. Borrowing the sunlight that was seeping through the gaps between the leaves, he was able to easily find quite a few wild herbs such as Dragon Whisker Grass, Mountain Celery, Mountain Su, and Chinese Toona.
