Chapter 495 The Chestnut Tree

On August 21, Guo Xiu, Zhao Lan'er, and Zheng Juan followed a dozen or so men into the mountain early in the morning.Since they had picked all the mountain fruits near the valley, they walked farther this time, which was the second mountain outside the valley. The purpose is to pick mountain fruits, and discard wild vegetables and mushrooms when they come across them. When they climbed over a mountain and came to the second mountainside, Guo Xiu sat down beside him panting.

Zheng Juan took out the water bag and handed it to her; "You are not allowed to come, but you want to come, why don't you think about the baby in your stomach after you are tossing like this?"

Guo Xiu took a few sips of water from the water bag, looked at Zheng Juan and laughed; "I'm fine, besides, which pregnant woman in our valley doesn't run to the mountains all day like me, am I more delicate than others Please give me the water bag again, she is exhausted."

Seeing that Guo Xiu didn't listen, Zheng Juan snorted coldly, grabbed the water bag and left.

Zhao Lan'er, who was lying on the ground, was supported by Zheng Juan and stood up; "I really don't understand the two of you, one is weak like a pheasant, and the other is pregnant, but the two of you are still able to toss around like this."

Hearing Zheng Juan's dissatisfaction, Zhao Lan'er drank water and laughed; "Thanks to you, otherwise the two of us wouldn't be able to get here."

"You shouldn't come here, it's just picking wild fruits, I'll pick more and send them to you in the future."

"Miss Zheng, you don't understand. It is precisely because I am so weak that I need to go up the mountain, which is conducive to my recovery. As for my sister-in-law, I think what you said is right. Let's persuade her well in the future. she."

Zheng Juan was finally satisfied after hearing Zhao Lan'er's words, she let go of her hook and went to pick the berries in a hurry.

Guo Xiu took a short rest, stood up and walked to Zhao Laner's side; "How do you feel?"

"It's very tiring, but I'm so happy. I didn't expect to come here."

"This shows that your body is recovering very well, don't worry, you will probably be no different from others after a few more months."

"Ok!"

Guo Xiu talked with Zhao Lan'er, and she didn't pick the berries right away. Instead, she looked around. After walking half a circle around the area where everyone was picking berries, she suddenly found a few chestnut trees above them. Looking at the chestnuts on the tree, her eyes lit up slightly, and she turned her head to look at the people who were picking the berries; "Look, what is that?"

Everyone looked in the direction Guo Xiu was pointing at, and after seeing clearly what she was referring to, they quickly looked away indifferently; "Who knows what it is, at first we thought it was fruit, who Knowing that after taking it off, it is not only sticky, but also very hard, so it should be inedible, so we didn't care about it."

After hearing Zheng Juan's explanation, Guo Xiu swallowed involuntarily, at this moment she really didn't want to say anything.

Jiang wiped the sweat off her face, looked at Guo Xiu's slightly raised belly, and walked to her side; "Do you know what it is? We don't know each other. We are not native and real mountain people." It’s different, there are many things in the mountains that we don’t know, and most of the wild vegetables we pick, including the ones we dig, are the uncles who told us they can eat them, so we dare to pick them and eat them.”

After hearing this, Guo Xiu suddenly realized that she had ignored these things before. The people in the valley were all led into the mountain by Cao Shi and the others. They did not live in the mountain since they were born. They don't know each other, not only them, but also her, the only difference is that she knows a little more than they do.
