The Shit Carrier Village Girl
Chapter 29*The Fragrance*
After disposing of Li Cuihua, Lin Yuelan walked along the winding mud road.
Soon, he arrived at the intersection at the foot of the mountain.
Both sides of the junction are overgrown with lush and verdant Old World branched ferns. They are almost as tall as him. In fact, the entire mountain was covered by this fern.
Lin Yuelan remembered going mushroom hunting under this huge fern in her grandmother's place when she was young. Occasionally, he would find one or two wild mushrooms; at other times, he would find rows of mushrooms under one fern.
Lin Yuelan almost drooled when she thought of the delicious taste of wild mushrooms. He had not eaten wild mushrooms for nearly twenty years.
Lin Yuelan said excitedly, Little “Green, I want to eat wild mushrooms. Can you ask your little friend to help me find him?”
Little Green immediately replied, “Ya, Mr.”
Then, Little Green jumped up from Lin Yuelan's wrist and disappeared like a thin snake with two green leaves sticking out of her head.
Soon, Little Green came back and said, “Master, they have found a lot of things.” Then he climbed onto Lin Yuelan's wrist and showed directions to Lin Yuelan. “There are some there.”
Lin Yuelan put away the lush ferns and indeed saw some wild mushrooms.
However, the color is very bright and bright red. It is clear that they are poisonous mushrooms. This was something that his grandmother taught him. Colorful mushrooms are mostly poisonous.
Lin Yuelan said, “Little Green, this is poisonous. Humans cannot eat it. You should find that white or brown mushroom.”
Although Little Green could communicate with plants, he was not a human. He had no idea that the colorful membranes that mushrooms use as camouflage were actually toxic to humans.
Two Little Green buds curved up, indicating that he had learned a lesson. Then, Little Green pointed out a few other places.
Lin Yuelan put away the fern to look at it. This time, they were edible mushrooms. They stood there with umbrellas on their heads, looking very cute.
Lin Yuelan happily picked up a few and then found a relatively flat and clean place to light a fire.
Why did he light a fire? He's gonna bake mushrooms.
He found a source of water in the mountains and washed the mushrooms clean. Then, he used a thin branch on the ground to pierce the fungus. He roasted it on the fire.
As the mushrooms are baked, the aroma of the mushrooms begins to spread. Lin Yuelan swallowed her saliva again. “It's very fragrant! I'm starving.”
After the mushroom was finished, Lin Yuelan took out all kinds of herbs from its place. He got this from the supermarket during the apocalypse.
Swished…
Lin Yuelan heard the faint sound of beast footsteps. He looked towards the sound and saw that it was actually a wild rabbit. It's hiding under the fern. His head poked out, and his red eyes looked towards him. It seems to be attracted by the scent of wild mushrooms.
‘It's good. Wild mushrooms will match with wild rabbits.’
Lin Yuelan kept the roasted mushroom in the room, rolled up her sleeves, and then, at lightning speed, pounced on the rabbit and caught it.
He returned to the river and cleaned the rabbit with a small knife.
As the rabbit fat dripped onto the fire, it hissed. Lin Yuelan also smelled the scent.
His stomach looked like a bottomless hole. After eating some mushrooms, he felt even hungrier.
When the rabbit meat was almost ready, Lin Yuelan's ears suddenly twitched, and her expression immediately became firm. Then, he lifted his head to look at the large tree not far away. Then, like a monkey, his thin and small body rose to a place in a big tree and hid.
Over ten soldiers in gray armor, holding spears and long knives, appeared. They were led by a tall and strong man with silver armor and a silver mask.
“Hey, what smells good?” Suddenly, someone said in surprise.
“It smells like grilled meat, but it doesn't. I have never smelled so good,” others echo.
In fact, what they smelled was the smell of roasted mushrooms.
When Lin Yuelan cooked the mushroom, its aroma had smelled thousands of miles away. It drifted into the nostrils of these soldiers as well.
This was a time when people did not understand how to distinguish between poisonous mushrooms and edible mushrooms, so these soldiers had never tried roasted mushrooms before.
“The smell seems to be coming from this direction,” said a soldier closer to the masked man with a smile. “Bos, let's see. What exactly is so fragrant? What say?”
The masked man had never smelled such a fragrance before. Of course, he was also very curious about the source.
A group of soldiers followed the scent trail.
When these people were about to arrive at the firepit, Lin Yuelan's rabbit was almost ready. However, he heard the movements of these people. Lin Yuelan immediately went into hiding, leaving behind some grilled mushroom skewers and a roasted rabbit.
After all, Lin Xinlan had just arrived in this world. These people looked and sounded like soldiers. He doesn't want trouble.
He didn't know if they were good people or not. If they were good people, they would be curious as to why a girl like her was doing alone on the mountain, but they would not hurt her. But what if they are bad people?
In that case, Lin Yuelan had to defend herself and kill these people. It wouldn't be difficult for Lin Yuelan to kill them, but what would she do with the corpses? Plus, what if those soldiers were from powerful backgrounds? It's gonna be very complicated.
Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, rather than face these people head-on, it was better to retreat and observe.
Those people immediately found Lin Yuelan's bonfire.
“Huh, it's a roasted rabbit. Did we smell the rabbit before? ” The person next to the masked man spoke and sniffed, “No, the smell is different. Not just rabbits.”
Then, he looked around, “Hey, what is this?”
He pulled three or four mushroom skewers from the side of the fire. He sniffed and said excitedly, “This is it! Oh, my God, that's so fragrant. ”
He put a skewer in his mouth.
“Mr First Lieutenant, you can't! These things are poisonous!”
