Chapter 568: Daughters Are Cozy Little Quilted Jackets—Nothing but Envy

Sheng Yi also thought this mushroom was quite clean, and it was a big one. He agreed with Fu Yao: "I think it’s fine."

"No, it’s not." The one speaking was Lin Xijiang, who walked over, took the seemingly clean mushroom from Sheng Yi’s hand, and reminded the two, "Remember when we went up the mountain, the village chief warned us not to randomly pick mushrooms because some mushrooms on the mountain will make you see little fairies."

Seeing little fairies was Lin Xijiang’s own addition.

The village chief actually said: Some mushrooms are poisonous, and eating them will make you dizzy, see things blurry, and have hallucinations.

Lin Xijiang had heard about the toxic nature of these mushrooms long ago; they’re quite dangerous and can cost you your life if you’re not careful.

Fu Yao laughed: "Can you really see little fairies? I’ve actually heard that too, but I’ve never experienced it myself."

"Is it one little fairy, or a group of little fairies?" Sheng Yi was even more curious.

Lin Xijiang shook his head, threw away the mushroom in his hand: "That I’m not sure about, because I’ve never eaten them."

Upon hearing Lin Xijiang say this, coupled with the fact that Lin Xijiang is the oldest guest in the program group, his words held convincing power, and Fu Yao and Sheng Yi suddenly lost interest in the clean-looking mushroom.

But the mushroom that Lin Xijiang discarded was picked up by Lin Shi, who exclaimed by loudly: "Is this a mushroom?"

Fu Yao: "..."

Sheng Yi: "..."

Lin Xijiang: "..."

Lin Shi’s reaction to finding the mushroom was as if he had stumbled upon treasure, showcasing it to everyone: "This mushroom looks like it tastes really good."

Lin Xijiang said: "Can’t eat it."

Lin Shi: "Huh? Why can’t it be eaten?"

If you say you’ll see fairies or little creatures, Lin Shi, this guy, would be extremely curious, questioning repeatedly. So Lin Xijiang said, "Because eating it will cause poisoning."

Lin Shi was half believer, half skeptic: "... No way??!"

Such a beautiful mushroom, yet it’s poisonous?

Lin Shi pondered for a while, thinking it might be a bluff. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Lack of knowledge doesn’t mean he’s brainless. He believes those vividly colorful ones are poisonous, but this clean-looking mushroom doesn’t seem likely to be poisonous.

So he took advantage of when Lin Xijiang and Sheng Yi weren’t paying attention, and quietly put the mushroom into his basket.

Suisui also picked some mushrooms, but all under Chi Yu’s guidance. To say Chi Yu could recognize them was false. He also pulled out his phone for last-minute checking using Baidu Baike. Whenever Suisui spotted one, he would photograph it to identify what kind of mushroom it was, and whether it was edible...

"Chi Yu, can this mushroom be eaten?"

"Chi Yu, this mushroom’s color is so pretty~"

"Chi Yu, there are so many mushrooms here~"

"Chi Yu..."

The forest seemed to be filled with Suisui’s voice.

Upon reaching a place rich with wild fungi, Suisui seemed to discover a new world. Initially picking firewood didn’t interest her much, but now seeing mushrooms, she could barely stop.

With Chi Yu’s careful identification, Suisui picked many types of edible mushrooms.

Lin Xijiang and the others learned from Chi Yu’s method, and picked some edible mushrooms as well.

As for Lin Shi, he didn’t have much luck; he didn’t encounter many mushrooms, and those rare ones he did find looked just like the clean mushroom in his basket, so he picked them and continued on.

The afternoon sun was quite hot, making the forest activities even warmer. In just a short time, everyone was sweating profusely.

Chi Yu carried the basket, filled with firewood and various edible mushrooms, while still holding Suisui. Actually, this was nothing for him, done easily. As he slowly bent down to hold Suisui, she waved him off: "No need to carry me, I can walk myself."

Chi Yu squatted down, looking at the little girl whose hair and bangs were already wet with sweat, and raised a hand to brush it aside, "Walking by yourself is hot and easy to trip."

Suisui held Chi Yu’s hand: "Just hold my hand, Chi Yu."

Chi Yu smiled: "Just holding hands?"

"Uh-huh~" The little girl nodded like a small garlic pounding stick: "No need for carrying, Chi Yu is tired."

Don’t mind what Chi Yu felt.

Everyone around showed expressions of envy.

Chi Yu felt exceptionally fulfilled and satisfied, especially after Suisui’s kind words. Indeed, daughters are like warm cotton-padded coats. He slowly stood up, holding Suisui’s hand: "Watch your step, let’s go, I’ll keep holding your hand."

After descending the mountain, everyone returned to the farmhouse.

Taking off their baskets, filled with harvest, everyone either relaxed or drank water; the atmosphere was delightful.

Lin Xijiang said: "Let’s sort out the mushrooms, and have a mushroom feast tonight."

Everyone responded and started sorting the mushrooms from their baskets into a pile.

Lin Shi rested for a while before moving. Seeing everyone had almost sorted theirs, creating a small mountain of mushrooms, he leisurely stood, took the few mushrooms from his basket, tossed them onto the pile, and said, "Done."

Sheng Yi saw Lin Shi’s actions: "Little bro, why did you only pick so few mushrooms?"

Lin Shi scoffed: "Though there’re few mushrooms, the taste is definitely good."
