I became the male protagonist's wife who died young, and I became a hero by eating melons

[Why are they running so fast? Is there a fire on the mountain? ]

[It's not on fire. Host, your body is as strong as a bull now. Why don't you chase after it and take a look? ]

[Ah? Really? I thought you were exaggerating.]

[Really, run fast. ]

Since she couldn't take her son with her when she went to the mountain, Ji Xiaoxi handed Lu Qian'an over to the care of her second sister-in-law Shen Jiao. In their family, people took turns doing housework. The person who did housework didn't have to go to work that day. He just had to do the housework and cook three meals.

Of course, Ji Xiaoxi also needs to do it. Doing some housework has no effect on her health.

"Second sister-in-law, please help me look after An An. I'm going to take a walk in the Four Spirits Mountain behind."

Shen Jiao held a basin in her hand, looked up at Ji Xiaoxi and asked, "What are you doing in the mountains? It's almost dark now, and it's not safe in the mountains. If you have anything to do, go there tomorrow during the day."

Lu Qian'an took her hand and said, "Mom, An'an will go with you tomorrow."

Ji Xiaoxi smiled and said, "It's okay. I won't go deep into the cave. I'll just walk around nearby and come back soon."

She planned to give some tips to the villagers nearby so that everyone could find the child as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late and it would be really dangerous. The mountains in this era have not been protected yet and are much more primitive than those in later generations. There are many wild animals in it, even wild boars, which are no joke.

Shen Jiao nodded, glanced at the backyard, and whispered, "Then remember to come back early, otherwise my mother will scold me to death if she finds out."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Okay."

When Ji Xiaoxi arrived at Siling Mountain, the villagers who had entered the mountain earlier had long disappeared.

She bent down and picked up a stick from the ground, and casually patted the grass as she walked.

This will drive away the snake inside so it won't suddenly jump out and scare her.

Fortunately, I didn’t encounter any snakes after walking for a while.

She was just a little tired from walking. She used to hate climbing mountains the most. The roads here were made by everyone walking step by step. There were no steps in some places, and one had to climb up by climbing branches. The moss on the ground was wet and slippery, and it was not easy to walk at all.

[001, Have they found Xiao Xier? I am almost dying of exhaustion. It is so hard to climb.]

[Not yet, but host, look back, there is a man running behind, it is Song Youzhu's man Xue Baocai, you can tell him the information.]

Ji Xiaoxi turned around and saw a strong, short-haired man walking towards her. He was stunned for a moment when he saw her, but didn't say anything.

Instead, he walked quickly past her in silence.

"Hey, are you Xue Baocai?" Ji Xiaoxi called out to him.

"Yeah." Xue Baocai stopped and looked back at her.

"You are here to look for your daughter, Xiao Xier, right? I just heard from the villagers who went up the mountain to look for her that your daughter seems to be hiding in a depression made by a large rock. You should go and look for her quickly, otherwise it will be dangerous."

Xue Baocai looked at her quietly for a few seconds before whispering thank you and turning around to run up the mountain.

As fast as a monkey.

Ji Xiaoxi was satisfied and now she didn't have to go up the mountain anymore.

[Great, mission accomplished! ]

【Congratulations to the host! 】

[I provided an important clue, so I think it should count towards the points.]

【Must count! 】

Ji Xiaoxi was happily preparing to go down the mountain, but suddenly she caught sight of a place.

[Hey, there seem to be a lot of mushrooms here. I'll pick some mushrooms and bring them back so I can have some extra food for dinner.]

[Host, the more beautiful the mushroom, the more poisonous it is. ]

[It's okay, I can just pick the ugly mushrooms. ]

【...】

Ji Xiaoxi squatted in the grass and turned out all the small mushrooms under the dead trees, in the grass, and in the piles of fallen leaves.

When she watched short videos in the past, she found it quite fun to see those people picking mushrooms. It was a kind of fun that she could never experience in the city. She was in a particularly high spirits at this time, and the more she picked, the more excited she became.

Looking at the pile of mushrooms picked from the ground, I feel a special sense of accomplishment.

She picked up another big leaf and wrapped the ugly mushrooms she had picked. She had picked so many mushrooms that the big leaf could only barely cover them.

Forget it, let’s just go down the mountain like this.

When we got to the foot of the mountain, a figure came over and asked, "Hey, are these mushrooms you picked?"

Ji Xiaoxi looked up and found that it was a strange aunt. She didn't recognize who it was for a moment and could only reply casually.

"Yes, I picked it on the hill behind."

Jin Xiufang asked in a very friendly manner: "There are a lot of mushrooms on the mountain now, little girl, can you give me some of the ones you picked?"

Ji Xiaoxi: "Huh? Give it to you?"

Jin Xiufang: "Little girl, you can see that I am not very agile and it is dangerous to go up the mountain. Anyway, you have picked so much, it won't hurt to share it with me."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Aunt, I see you are in good health. There are so many mushrooms on the mountain. If you really want to eat them, you can pick them yourself."

Seeing that she couldn't take advantage, Jin Xiufang rolled her eyes and suddenly pointed at Ji Xiaoxi's feet and shouted, "Ouch! What a big snake!"

Ji Xiaoxi suddenly heard the sound of a snake and jumped up reflexively. The mushrooms in her hands were already full and overflowing, and when she jumped in panic, they popped out one after another and fell all over the floor.

Jin Xiufang immediately bent down and picked up all the mushrooms.

Ji Xiaoxi jumped to the side, lowered his head and looked around, only to realize belatedly that he seemed to have been tricked.

She hugged the remaining mushrooms tightly, stepped on a fallen mushroom, and looked at Jin Xiufang who was picking mushrooms with some anger, "Where is the snake? Were you lying to me just now?"

Jin Xiufang straightened up, holding the mushroom in her hand and said with a smile: "There really was a snake just now, but it ran away after being scared by you."

Ji Xiaoxi stretched out her hand, "Oh, thank you, please give me back my mushroom."

Jin Xiufang: "Things that fall on the ground have no owner. If I pick them up, they belong to me."

Ji Xiaoxi: "That was dropped by me! I picked those mushrooms with great effort in the mountains!"

Jin Xiufang: "Little girl, you have no evidence. If you say it's your mushroom, then it's your mushroom, right?"

Ji Xiaoxi: “Huh?”

Ji Xiaoxi was really forced to broaden her horizons. It was the first time that she was taken advantage of like this.

This aunt looked nice and cleanly dressed, and her attitude was very good at first, but I didn't expect her to be so shameless. It was also her fault for not being on guard and falling into her trap. She suffered a loss this time and will have to remember it in the future.

Ji Xiaoxi snorted and laughed, "Okay, they are just a few poisonous mushrooms that fell on the ground. It doesn't matter if I randomly poison one of them."

Jin Xiufang didn't care, "Little girl, I'm not scared of anything. You picked them and ate them, how could they be poisonous mushrooms?"

Ji Xiaoxi smiled again: "Then you can take care of yourself."

Jin Xiufang was a little proud. She originally wanted to come to Siling Mountain to check on the situation and see whether her son and daughter-in-law had found the little girl. She didn't expect that she would get so many mushrooms for free. She could have another dish for dinner. The mushrooms in this season are very fresh.

Today's little girls are still too young.

No match for her at all.

Ji Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at her and went home with the remaining mushrooms.
