"what?"

Lin Heng asked as he walked past.

"Wild shiitake mushrooms, so big!"

Xiulan saw Lin Heng coming, pointed behind her and said.

Behind her, there was a large pile of dead trees covered with orange-yellow mushrooms.

Shiitake mushrooms in the mountains, also called fragrant mushrooms (xun), are divided into two types.

One is similar to the artificially cultivated one, numb and lame, the cap is split into small pieces, gray-white, and looks very thick.

There is also a kind of mushroom with light yellow and white caps and white flesh. This kind looks very thin and is also called shiitake mushroom.

The first type of shiitake mushrooms is relatively rare in the mountains, while the second type is more abundant.

But no matter what kind, when you encounter it, it is usually a big one.

What Xiu Xiu found was a large piece of rotten wood. The large ones were five or six centimeters in diameter, and the small ones were one or two centimeters in diameter.

"This thing is good."

Lin Heng hurriedly came over to help with the picking, not sparing anyone big or small. Grandpa and grandson harvested together.

"And fungus!"

After picking for a while, Lin Heng found another fungus on a rotten tree trunk.

This is a double harvest of fungus and shiitake mushrooms.

After working hard for more than ten minutes, the two of them finished picking all the wild mushrooms, but they were no longer very excited.

After all, I just picked up more than a pound of red Ganoderma lucidum.

"How much did you pick? Mine weighed more than three kilograms." Xiulan shook her bag and looked at Lin Heng.

"I have a little more than you. The fungus plus shiitake mushrooms weigh about four to five kilograms, I guess."

Lin Heng said with a smile that estimating scales is not difficult for rural people.

"This trip was worth it. Although I didn't encounter any prey, the harvest was already very rich."

Xiulan poured her mushrooms into Lin Heng's bag and said with satisfaction.

"I can't help it. It's not easy to hunt in summer."

Lin Heng shook his head and said: "It's half past four. I won't explore for the time being. I'm going to see if there are any green beards or anything like that. It's time to eat."

"Okay! I'll wait for you by the creek."

Xiulan took the backpack for Lin Heng. The couple had actually been hungry for a long time, but the happiness caused by the various harvests along the way made them ignore their stomachs.

Now I was really hungry, so I stopped.

Lin Heng put the bow and arrow on his back, held the slingshot in his hand, and groped quietly.

Xiongba knew that he had started hunting, and became quiet, looking around for traces of prey.

I haven't seen any prey on the mountain before. There is no chance that there is no prey in this canyon. There is water and the environment is not bad. There must be some.

At least Lin Heng heard a lot of bird calls.

After groping for several hundred meters, Lin Heng finally saw the first suitable target to shoot, a green-bearded crocodile resting on a dead tree.

From a distance of five or six meters, he raised the slingshot and shot the clay out with a bang.

With a bang, the green-bearded Diaozi fell to the ground. He kicked his legs twice and passed away.

"Ouch~"

Xiongba quickly ran over, picked up the bird, and brought it to Lin Heng.

After petting its dog's head as a reward, Lin Heng threw the green-bearded Diaozi into the cloth bag on his waist.

The green-bearded fools were dull and stupid, and there were many of them. After a while, Lin Heng beat ten of them.

"Let's go back."

Seeing that the number was almost there, Lin Heng turned around with Xiong Ba.

"Chirp!"

At this time, two blue-gray turtle doves flew from the mountain to a toon tree thirty meters in front of him, chirping.

"Provocative, right? You have the ability to be humble."

Lin Heng cursed, ignored it, turned around and walked back.

One is that the tree is too tall. If the shot is not accurate, the arrow will be stuck in the trunk and it will be difficult to retrieve.

One is that this kind of bird that has seen the cockroach is generally very wary and difficult to fight.

"Chirp!"

However, these two turtle doves seemed to be really provocative. After a while, they flew to a tung tree thirty meters away to the left and rear of Lin Heng and rested on it.

"Okay, okay, you don't want to live so much, don't you?"

Lin Heng laughed angrily and thought, are all the birds in this place so stupid?

Putting away the slingshot, he took out the bow and arrows, preparing to find an angle to kill two birds with one stone.

These two guys are very close, so there is still a chance.

"Chirp!!"

Just as Lin Heng took out the arrow, two turtledoves suddenly took off and flew high into the sky.

"Sure enough, vigilant!" Lin Heng shook his head, not surprised by this.

However, the next moment, his jaw almost dropped: "Holy crap, is this suicide?"

After the two guys flew together in a circle, they landed on a white stone less than fifteen meters directly in front of them.

"You won't become stupid after eating such a stupid bird, right?"

Lin Heng was thinking wildly, but quietly raised the bow in his hand.

The two poor guys didn't know that the hunter had exposed his claws and were still preening each other's feathers.

As a sharp black arrow pierced the air and flashed with black cold light, it had no chance to take off.

With a pop, two turtle doves were pierced by an arrow, and they were embedded in the soil behind them along with the arrows.

After struggling with his legs for a few times, his vision completely dimmed.

"Ouch~"

Xiong Ba came back with an arrow in his mouth, and Lin Heng took down the turtle dove and understood the reason why these two little guys wanted to die.

"It turns out to be a little guy who just came out of the nest. No wonder he is so bold!"

Not only did Lin Heng not feel cruel, but he actually drooled unconvincingly: "The roasted squab is very fragrant."

Carrying two turtle doves, Lin Heng trotted back to the creek.

Xiu Lan was sorting the mushrooms she had picked today. When she picked them, it was inevitable that they would be covered with dirt and mud, and some of them were rotten and bad.

These all needed to be picked and sorted.

"Did you shoot two turtledoves?"

Seeing Lin Heng coming back with two turtledoves, Xiu Lan's eyes widened.

"Yes, I was lucky to meet a turtledove that had just left the nest. Although it was small, the meat was tender."

Lin Heng smiled.

"By the way, there are still ten green bearded crickets. We will eat a few and give the rest to Xiong Ba."

Whenever he gave the prey to Xiu Lan, Lin Heng was very proud and had a sense of accomplishment.

"Husband, you are so awesome!" Xiu Lan said with a smile. She must go back to her parents' home this year to let her parents see that she did not marry the wrong person.

Hearing this compliment, Lin Heng felt comfortable immediately, and leaned forward again, grinning: "A kiss as a reward."

There was no one around at this time, Xiulan rolled her eyes at him: "You are like a child, you are not ashamed."

Although she said she was ashamed, she still smacked her lips.

"Hehe." Lin Heng smiled foolishly, such a day was too beautiful.

Xiongba: "Woof woof!!"

It seemed to be cursing.

"I'll make a fire." Lin Heng put down the turtledove and went to find firewood nearby.

There were firewood everywhere in the mountains, and soon a large pile was brought up. Soon the two of them made a fire by the stream.

Xiulan took out the steamed buns and roasted them on the stone.

Seeing that Lin Heng roasted the turtledove with its feathers on the fire without removing the internal organs, she quickly pulled him: "What are you doing? Can you still eat it like this?"

"Of course you can, and it tastes very good." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Forget it, I'll roast some green turtledove first, you'll know after you try it."

Lin Heng was afraid his wife wouldn't be able to accept it, so he put the turtledove aside first.

This kind of roasting may seem barbaric, but the result is actually quite good, he only understood it after he tried it once.
