After eating and drinking for two hours, they had exhausted all of their provisions. Satisfied, everyone leaned back in their wicker chairs, savoring the delicious taste of the grilled meat and roasted vegetables.
Mo Yan finished tidying up the grilling tools and pointed at a nearby mountain peak, suggesting, "Let's go climb the mountain to aid our digestion, and see if we can find some spring bamboo shoots on the way."
This proposal immediately won everyone's approval, "Indeed, we should climb the mountain; otherwise, we can skip dinner."
As they spoke, everyone stood up and packed all cookware, tables, and chairs into the bamboo baskets. This time, not wanting to burden Xiao Ruiyuan alone with the task, Han Zhiyun, who had practiced martial arts and was physically strong, also helped carry two baskets down the mountain.
