"Auntie Chen, I've left two hundred wen in the kitchen drawer, just in case some villagers come to sell vegetables or eggs; go ahead and buy them!"
Before leaving, Xie Zhinuan instructed, and Auntie Chen nodded again and again.
Xie Zhinuan took the silly girl into the mountains; they weren't picky about firewood but mainly went to the mountains to look for wild fruits and vegetables.
There were many edible things in the mountains.
For instance, Xie Zhinuan picked a basketful of Kalimeris Indica and then went to the field ridges to cut a full load of Kalimeris Indica and a big cloth bag of Wild Chrysanthemum Buds.
Routuan, that rascal of a dog, even brought back a wild rabbit, which delighted Xie Zhinuan. She rubbed his head, praising him incessantly.
"I'll give you a big rabbit leg to eat when we get back!"
The silly girl also joyfully yapped in response.
