Xuexue found it very curious that with so many fruits still at the periphery of the mountain, why hadn't the villagers discovered them?
In her past life, aside from working, she generally stayed indoors, seldom stepping out of the inner door, and even when she had to go out, she would lower her head and hurry past, never having been to the mountain.
Chuner often followed Madam Xie up the mountain to chop wood.
Xuexue asked, "Chuner, when you went to the mountain with mother before, didn't you see all these fruits? Didn't you know you could eat them?"
"Mother said that unfamiliar things on the mountain shouldn't be eaten casually, for they could easily cause someone's death. In the past, an incident occurred in our village where someone died from eating wild fruits in the mountain! Since that incident, people in the village are afraid to randomly pick and eat wild fruits when they go mountaineering."
