Chapter 25
A Full Harvest on the Mountain
After Meng Chuyuan carefully plucked the pine antlers, everyone continued to search confidently.
Their current location had not been harvested for the time being, so it did not take long for them to find an area with a lot of mushrooms.
At this moment, the remaining two groups were still busy with the hidden mission.
The production team asked them to deliver cookies to the nearby villagers. They had to make them eat the cookies and guess the name of the variety show thereafter, before they could be considered successful in the mission.
Qi Zhen came to visit with five cookies. He also managed to successfully get the villagers to eat the cookies. As they could not give the villagers the name of the variety show, no one could answer his question regarding the name of the show, so their mission was a failure.
Liao Jiake’s team was luckier. She had debuted earlier and was known as a household name. Moreover, she met young people around her age, including her fans. After eating the biscuits, they successfully gave the correct answer.
In the end, the task of breaking corn was directly taken by Liao Jiake, while Qi Zhen’s team could only clean up the chicken farm.
After the Qi siblings failed their mission, they could only set off for the chicken farm. From afar, they could smell the smell of ammonia.
Qi Yan subconsciously took out a mask from her pocket and quickly put it on. However, the closer she got, the stronger the smell became. Even though she was wearing a mask, it could not block out the smell.
The person in charge of the chicken farm led the way as he explained the cleaning process to them. “We have to pick up the eggs before we clean up. We also have to find a place for the chickens. We’ll clean up after we clear the area.”
Qi Zhen said without changing his expression, “I want to ask, how many chickens are there?”
The person in charge replied calmly, “There are more than 2,000 of them.”
“…” He had originally planned to pick mushrooms, but Qi Yan insisted on taking a gamble and lost.
At this point, Qi Zhen could only accept this outcome.
Qi Zhen: “Then how are we going to find a place for so many chickens?”
“You can chase the chickens out. Our orchard is under closed management.”
Just as she was about to enter the venue, Qi Yan suddenly stopped and stood outside the door for a long time.
“Sister, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” After Qi Zhen realized that she had fallen behind, he specially turned back to look for her.
Seeing that Qi Yan was not in a good state, the audience in the live-stream began to worry about her condition.
[Sister, what’s wrong? Did you catch a cold? I feel like my forehead is sweating.]
[IFeeling uncomfortable once you have to work. That seems so pretentious.]
[Yan Yan, rest if you’re not feeling well! Don’t force yourself.]
[Looks like we’ll have to trouble Brother Qi Zhen to chase the chickens away alone again. There are more than 2,000 of them! Not two…]
When Qi Yan spoke, her voice was trembling. “I’m a little afraid of sharp-beaked animals.”
Qi Zhen was silent for two to three seconds before saying, “We will clear the area later. We won’t have any contact with them.”
Perhaps Qi Zhen felt that it was useless to say anything more, so he simply gave up. He sighed softly and said, “Then stay outside. I’ll go inside and clear the place.”
Not long after Qi Zhen entered, Qi Yan suddenly heard a chaotic gurgling sound outside. Immediately after, a group of chickens ran out, scaring her so much that she didn’t know where to hide.
After a while, the orchard was occupied by chickens. In order to keep a distance from them, Qi Yan could only hold her breath and go in to look for Qi Zhen.
At the same time…
Meng Chuyuan and the others saw that there were almost no more mushrooms let to pick and were about to go down the mountain.
However, just as they were about to return the way they came, Meng Chuyuan’s gaze was suddenly attracted by the scenery in front of them.
“Wait for me for a while.”
When Lu Jinsen heard that, he turned around and looked at her. He asked curiously, “Where are you going?”
He saw Meng Chuyuan carrying the basket and walking forward. He couldn’t call her back at all.
After a while, Lu Jinsen said to the villagers, “Let’s go first.”
“No, if we leave, what if she doesn’t recognize the way?” The villager did not listen to Lu Jinsen’s opinion. Instead, he scolded him. “You’re a man. How can you leave your sister in the mountains?”
Lu Jinsen: “…”
[That’s right, that’s right. Lu Jinsen, what kind of man are you?]
[Lu Jinsen, oh Lu Jinsen, have you forgotten Sister Meng’s breakfast today? You’re leaving just like that?]
[Young Master, that’s not right. It’s not kind to leave like this. She’s your sister-in-law after all. What if she gets lost? Will your brother become a widower?]
[Hahahaha, aren’t you guys a team? Who was the one who was angry yesterday and emphasized that you were a team. Are you not committing to that today?]
[The villagers all know that they have to wait for Sister Meng, but you want to leave. How ridiculous.]
The villager looked at him resentfully and said, “Let’s follow her and take a look. I’m really afraid that she’ll get lost.”
In actuality, Meng Chuyuan saw hues of red in this direction and guessed that there would be wild fruits, but she was unsure because it was too far away, so she walked over personally.
When Meng Chuyuan got closer, she realized that she had not seen wrongly. In front of her was a wild hawthorn tree filled with fruits.
She saw that the fruits looked good and ripe, so she wanted to pick some back.
When Lu Jinsen and the rest rushed over, they were stunned.
They did not expect such a good hawthorn tree to grow in the wilderness.
Lu Jinsen came back to his senses and asked curiously, “Why did you pick this?”
“I like picking it. What do you care?”
“…” Fine, he had spoken too much.
Not only did Meng Chuyuan pick wild hawthorns, but she also picked up a lot of pine cones on the way down the mountain. Her basket could not hold them all, and she even requisitioned Lu Jinsen’s.
[Help! Is this the joy of being in the wilderness?]
[Watching this group’s live-stream is really healing. I feel so relaxed.]
[Sister Meng always returns home with a lot of spoils every time she goes out on a mission. Boohoo, it’s another day to worship the big shot.]
[Sister Meng’s basket is filled with dry foods. I want to go back to my hometown to start a business. I might earn more from selling these than working in the factory!!]
When Meng Chuyuan and the others returned from picking mushrooms, the other two groups were still busy.
Liao Jiake’s hands were blistered from hoeing yesterday afternoon. Now, she had to grit her teeth and persevere.
At this moment, Qi Zhen and his sister were still picking up eggs in the chicken farm. The area was huge, and there were a lot of eggs laid by the chickens. They were so busy that they had no chance to straighten their backs.
After coming down from the mountains, Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen went to the starting point set by the production team to check in. Their team completed their morning task and received 50 labor coins.
Because it was not time to exchange for ingredients yet, Meng Chuyuan’s group could not proceed to the next step for the time being. They could only sit down and wait for the other two groups to complete their mission and return.
An hour and a half later, Liao Jiake’s team came back from breaking corn. About 20 minutes later, Qi Zhen’s team also came back from the chicken farm.
[Who would have thought that Sister Meng and Lu Jinsen had been back from the mountains for nearly two hours?]
[At first, I thought that breaking corn was easy. I didn’t expect mushrooms to be the fastest, hahahahaha.]
[Qi Zhen is the most miserable. His sister didn’t even help much. He chased the chickens away and even had to clean the feces for the chickens.]
