Chapter 16 16. Footprints
How could Hua Xiaocao, who was staring at everyone, not feel it, she was originally a sensitive and low self-esteem person, at this moment her head could not be lowered any more, and her resentful eyes were contained in her eyes.

It wasn't until Huajin stopped that everyone stopped together. Looking around, the forest was covered with locust leaves, some of which were already rotten, exuding the unique smell of rotten leaves.

If it wasn't for Mrs. Hua and Sister Hua coming here this time, they wouldn't be able to come in with these black locusts, and it would be very painful to pierce them.

It can be seen that there are indeed no people here, except for the traces of some animals, there are no traces of people.

"Hua Jin, you child is too good at running, how did you find it in such a remote place?" Liu Shi usually talked a lot, and couldn't help but speak.

Maybe it's because the trees here are too dense, and the sun is almost covered. Standing here, everyone always feels that there is a gloomy smell. The children who came with Hua Xiaomao and others couldn't help but move closer to the adults.

I don't know why Hua Jin is so courageous, she dared to sneak in by herself.

"Auntie, don't worry." Hua Jin smiled politely, then looked at Hua Xiaocao.

"Hua Xiaocao, tell me, have you ever been to this place?"

"I... all of them look similar in this mountain, I really can't remember." Hua Xiaocao lowered her head, still looking like she had been wronged.

"It's okay, you can't remember, maybe I can try to help you retrieve your memory." Hua Jin smiled lightly and then looked at the big guy, "Aunts and ladies, do you feel that the soil under your feet is very soft?"

At first, everyone really didn't pay much attention to it, but Jing Huajin reminded the ground that the ground under their feet was indeed very soft. Although it was not enough to sink their feet in mud, it was really soft.

"Yes, it's really soft," Hua Meng's family answered.

Wang Xiaoxiao and Xiao Si stomped on the ground as if they had discovered something.

"Sister, it's really soft." Xiaosi looked up at her sister.

"Well, it's because no one comes here, and the perennial leaves rot and soil are mixed together. When there are more leaves, the soil content becomes relatively less, so the soil looks very fluffy."

"Sister, how do you know so much?" Xiaosi adored her sister a little bit.

"Stupid, who asked my brothers to teach you how to read and you didn't study hard? Naturally, you read it from the book."

Fortunately, there are memories in this area, otherwise I really don't know how to explain it.

"Sister, you beat me on the head again, I was knocked stupid like this." Xiaosi rushed to the side, scratched his head and looked at his sister accusingly.

"It seems that Xiao Si is not stupid." Hua Jin smiled at Xiao Si jokingly.

"mother……"

"Don't make trouble, listen to your sister."

Xiaosi looked for a backer, but it didn't seem to be of any use.

The younger brother's aggrieved look was really funny, Hua Jin held back and continued: "Aunts, do you still remember the weather I asked about?"

Everyone nodded one after another, and they naturally remembered how long it took for the voice to fall.

"Auntie, think about it, the land here is already very soft, if you add rain, will it be even softer?"

Although they are illiterate, the truth is not difficult to understand, and it is indeed the truth. The aunts and aunts nodded again.

Although the kittens and the group of children didn't quite understand, it didn't stop them from nodding along.

Needless to say, Xiaosi is crazy, anyway, everything my sister says outside is right.

The bad feeling in Hua Xiaocao's heart is getting stronger and stronger, and she regrets why she didn't get out earlier.

"So..." Hua Jin looked at Hua Xiaocao again, "So Xiaocao, it's time for you to prove your innocence."

"Everyone has felt the softness of the land here. It rained for a long time in the early morning of my accident. One can imagine how soft the land is. Presumably the footprints after the rain should be very clear. As long as you find the footprints and compare them, it will be clear."

"But what if there are other people's footprints?" Another aunt put forward a hypothesis, after all, it is not impossible.

"What's the matter? The footprints of adults are naturally different from those of children. Besides, there is such a coincidence."

"But what if there are no footprints? After all, children are small and light on their feet." Another aunt said.

"Xiao Xiao, get up a little bit." She was quite confident about this brocade, she had observed it when she came here, even if the child walked on the dead leaves, there would still be traces.

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoxiao hurriedly moved a few steps to the side, staring curiously.

Hua Jin walked to the place where Wang Xiaoxiao was standing, picked up a dead branch and pushed aside the dead leaves on the upper layer, and a shallow footprint appeared in front of everyone.

"Ma'am, don't worry about this." Hua Jin said.

Indeed, everyone has no doubts. After all, there will be traces in sunny weather, and the traces of stepping on it after being soaked in rain will be deeper, even if it is dry, it will be very clear.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up." The impatient one couldn't help urging, and he was also a person who didn't mind watching the excitement.

Hua Jin smiled and didn't speak, but took the lead to lead the way, following the vague memory in her mind and walking towards the place where her accident happened, while paying attention to the traces under her feet.

Not to mention that she really noticed the difference, Hua Jin suddenly squatted on the ground, and used the branch she didn't throw away to push aside a layer of dead leaves on the surface of the ground, and a deep footprint appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The soles of the footprints were exactly in the direction they were heading, and they were not adult feet at first glance, so that everyone's eyes almost subconsciously looked at Hua Xiaocao.

Hua Xiaocao could have shook her head quickly, but she couldn't admit it even if she was killed.

Hua Jin didn't say a word, looked at her little feet for a while, and then stepped in under everyone's surprised eyes. Although there were some burrs on the edges, the soles of the feet and the heels were just right.

"It's my footprints," Hua Jin said.

Hua Xiaocao took a deep breath.

Hua Jin is also relieved, it seems that her direction is right, it is here.

Don't look at her confident performance, but her heart is still a little drummed. After all, although she remembered something, her memory is still not complete. She just knows the general direction, and she is really not sure where Huajin is.

Once you find your own footprints, the next step will be easy.

In this way, looking for her footprints all the way, Hua Jin really found the place where the wild mushroom was found.

Almost a month later, a large field of wild mushrooms grew here again. Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw it, and they picked up the baskets and started picking them.

It should be said that apart from Mrs. Qi who was pulling Hua Xiaocao, all the adults and children who came up together, including Hua Jin, started to move.

It’s not too late to tell whether the truth is true or not. Since you encounter wild goods, you must pick them, otherwise the basket on your back will not be in vain.

Huajin's speed is not slower than others, Huajin knows that it is the instinct of the original owner, just by looking at which ones can be eaten and which ones can't be picked, as for her, she doesn't know it at all.

After a while, my brother and grandma picked up the bottom of the basket. If it weren't for the large number of people, we could have gained more.

After a while, the wild mushrooms in this area were basically picked except for the small ones.
