Chapter 65
65 Truffle
The brothers brought Little Ah Yu to the mountain to dig for things, mainly to find all kinds of wild fruits.
It was spring, and the plants had just grown. There were not many fruits, but they could always find some.
To Little Ah Yu, as long as she could go up the mountain, she would be very happy, regardless of whether she could find anything.
The sharpness of the small hoe and sickle made of green pine was definitely not comparable to iron, but they could barely be used by Little Ah Yu.
Because it was not sharpened, it was relatively safe.
“Wulang, Liulang, Qilang, Ah Yu, wait here first. We’ll go behind the mountain to take a look.” After San Lang and Silang greeted each other, they headed behind the mountain.
The other side was relatively steep, and they would be restrained if they brought their siblings along.
Wulang was still muttering about whether they could find a few more pheasants. Liu Lang and Qilang were naturally very excited.
“If we can find more pheasants, we can eat meat at home again!” The last time they found three pheasants, only two were eaten.
There was still one left. Two days ago, it was also brought to the town to be exchanged for food. It was Wang Chuanman who specially made the trip.
The food in the town was a little different from the food transported back from the county city. But as long as they could fill their stomachs, they did not care!
Qilang said, “We found it in these bushes last time, right? Let’s look carefully this time.”
Little Ah Yu also waved her small scythe. “I want to look for it too!”
Wulang felt that Little Ah Yu and the little lamb had also each caught a pheasant alone last time, so he did not underestimate his sister at all.
“Alright, Ah Yu will follow along. Perhaps Ah Yu can find it before us!” Little Sister Ah Yu’s luck was better than theirs.
Little Ah Yu was naturally very happy, but she felt a little tired after searching for a while.
She crawled around in the grass. There was a lot of sticky stuff on her clothes.
“Aiya, my clothes!” Her clothes were stained with a lot of dark little things because her little bag was also covered in them.
“Hahaha, that’s Ghost Needle Grass. It’ll be fine after pulling them out.” Wulang took a look and saw that Little Ah Yu’s hands were actually busy tugging at the Ghost Needle Grass on her body.
As its name suggested, the Ghost Needle Grass was black and sticky. It would not fall off unless it was pulled off.
Little Ah Yu pouted and looked at Wulang pitifully. “Fifth Brother, Ah Yu’s clothes don’t look good anymore…”
Wang Wulang: “…Don’t move. I’ll come over and clean it for you.”
Ah Yu’s expression was too pitiful. He could not bear to laugh at her.
It was normal for people who foraged in the mountains to be stained with those things.
Sometimes, when he turned around, his entire body was covered in spikes like a porcupine.
Little Ah Yu sat obediently on a rock and waited for Wulang to help her finish pulling off the cobblers peg on her body. She swore to never crawl into the bush again no matter what.
Wang Wulang had no choice but to take a small sickle and give it to her to dig with.
Little Ah Yu found a relatively spacious place and moved carefully, afraid that she would be stuck with the cobblers peg again.
Her clothes were new. After Second Aunt cut her clothes for the family, she specially left some corner cloth and made a small dress for her.
She liked it very much so she did not want it to be dirty!
Meatball in the spatial pocket suddenly said, “Go and dig under the pine tree over there.”
As Little Ah Yu asked in her heart, she started walking into the forest with her short legs. “What’s a pine tree?”
[Look, that leaf is like a needle, a little like the ones on your body, but it’s bigger and longer… Yes, it’s there.]
Under Meatball’s command, Little Ah Yu finally found a pine tree.
[Go over a little. Dig slowly. Don’t use too much strength.]
Her little sickle began to dig there, digging out some dark soil.
[Come on, you’re almost there.]
After digging for a while, Little Ah Yu saw some round things appear in the soil.
“Wow, black fruits!” Little Ah Yu saw black fruits in the soil and reached out to grab them.
The black fruit had a smell that Little Ah Yu could not describe. It had a fragrant and bitter smell, as well as the smell of mud.
Wang Wulang searched for a long time but found nothing, so he hurriedly came over to look for Little Ah Yu.
He saw Little Ah Yu squatting under the pine tree with her butt sticking out.
She had actually dug a small pit.
“Ah Yu, what are you doing?” Wulang hurriedly went over and saw what Ah Yu was holding. His eyes widened. “Aiya, why did you pick up the donkey dung? Throw it away!”
“Ah?” Little Ah Yu did not know what a donkey dung was and even looked at Wulang blankly.
Liulang and Qilang also ran over when they heard the sound. They also saw what Little Ah Yu was holding in her hand and a pile of things on the ground beside her.
Liu Lang held his stomach and laughed. “Who is so lacking in virtue that they actually buried donkey dung in the ground!”
Qilang was also grinning from ear to ear. “Quickly throw it away. Little Sister Ah Yu, that thing stinks!”
Before the village chief’s donkey was crushed to death by the snow, the children in the village often went to look at it. Of course, they had only seen the feces of the donkey. They looked like round, black feces balls.
It was identical to the one Little Ah Yu was holding now.
“It doesn’t stink.” It smelled a little good.
Little Ah Yu was confused. After her brothers explained one after another, she hurriedly threw away the things in her hand.
She felt a little aggrieved. “Elf… My brothers all say that it’s donkey dung… Boohoo, Ah Yu has become smelly…”
Initially, she did not think it smelled bad. But when her brothers mentioned it, she felt that the smell was smelly.
She still wanted to cry. She wanted to run into the spatial pocket and grab the elf’s fur.
After all, she had just touched the donkey feces and her hands were dirty.
Boohoo…
[…]
Meatball was so angry that it almost laughed. If it had facial features, it would definitely be especially ferocious now.
[Pfft, what donkey feces? That’s truffles! Do you know about black truffles?!]
[In your world, this thing is very valuable!]
Meatball had finally recognized that there was a relatively precious item here, but in the end, it was called a donkey dung by a group of brats and even frightened its cub. How could it not be angry?
Little Ah Yu’s expression changed and she asked carefully, “Isn’t this donkey dung?”
Actually, Little Ah Yu did not know what donkey dung looked like. She had never even seen a donkey before!
The village chief’s donkey had yet to arrive.
But in her heart, elves did not lie and were especially smart.
[Of course not. Pick it up quickly. This is very expensive and can be used to earn money!]
[Go back and bring it to your Grandma. Let her sell it for money!]
Heaven had pity on them. This Wang Family was really too poor. Otherwise, it would not have thought of ways to let Ah Yu earn money.
With money, there would be land. With land, they could plant food. With food, they could complete the mission of planting food and the spatial pocket could be upgraded.
It was really a smart attendant who knew how to solve problems from the source!
“Yes, yes, yes. For Grandma, for Grandma.”
Little Ah Yu did not mind anymore. She opened her bag and picked up the small flower basket at the side, picking up the black truffles one by one.
Wang Wulang hurriedly stopped her. “Hey, hey, hey, let me tell you. This is a smelly donkey dung. Don’t pick it up!”
“No, this is good stuff,” Little Ah Yu said seriously. “Pick it up and let Grandma take a look.”
Once Little Ah Yu decided on something, she would definitely do it well. No one would change her mind.
Wulang only had one thought in his mind: It’s over. If Grandma finds out that Little Sister Ah Yu went to play with donkey feces, they will definitely be beaten up.
“Alright, we’ll pick it up together.” Wang Wulang accepted his fate and pulled Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang over. “You guys pick it up too.”
Of course, everyone had to be scolded and dirty together.
Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang: “…”
After a while, Sanlang and Silang came over.
“Third Brother, Fourth Brother, come together!” Wang Wulang jumped over and pulled them into the pit.
Little Ah Yu had already instructed Wulang to open two more pits at the side.
Wang Sanlang and Wang Silang: “…”
Everyone was forced to join the team of people picking up the “donkey feces”.
Other than Little Ah Yu, everyone had bitter expressions.
