Chapter 238: Chapter 237: Don’t Sleep, Get Up and Party! (6)

Right up until they were about to leave, Xiao’ai clung to her little yellow duck and refused to let go.

Su Shu tried to persuade her yet to no avail, and thus thought of another tactic.

“Xiao’ai, your auntie has prepared some snacks, how about we tuck them into your little yellow duck and you carry it on your back? Then we can put the mushrooms in the bag.”

After a three-second hesitation, Xiao’ai nodded in agreement.

So, it was all about not abandoning the little yellow duck, huh?

In the morning, Su Shu made some rice balls and found a very light little box. Once six rice balls were placed inside, the box was full. She weighed it in her hand, deeming it not too heavy for a child to carry, and then slipped it into the little yellow duck.

When going out, everyone would bring some dry food, and eating something wasn’t conspicuous.

However, Su Shu also hid a little trick up her sleeve.

To the naked eye, the rice balls appeared quite ordinary.

But inside the rice balls, there was another world.

She took out some eggs from the “space”, made them into egg rolls, then cut them into fingernail-sized squares and sandwiched them in the middle of the rice balls.

Hidden inside were also pieces of salted duck egg yolk. She made the rice balls small enough to conceal the “good stuff” inside so that outsiders couldn’t tell.

Xiao’ai didn’t talk to others, so as long as she didn’t offer any to them, their secret would stay safe.

However, later on, she found out that there were quite a few people who were just as cunning as she was.

It was just that what others hid as a ruse wasn’t as nice as hers. She had seen people getting into conflicts over pancakes because they had hidden something else inside while foraging for mushrooms.

There was a knock at the door from outside.

“Coming!”

Once Su Shu had packed up all the food and drinks, she put the lightweight little yellow duck on Xiao’ai’s back and took her outside to meet up with Luo Gang and Granny Ge Lao Fu.

The three families lived close to each other. Li Xiaoxia couldn’t leave the house, so Luo Gang carried her outside. The two boys from the Luo Family, the elder one went with Luo Gang to pick mushrooms, and the younger one stayed at home to keep Li Xiaoxia company, as well as to help watch the homes of Su Shu’s and Granny Ge Lao’s families.

Su Shu said, “It’s cold outside, better to stay in.”

Li Xiaoxia glared at her, “What do you know? Now everyone is going out to scavenge for food. Do you know who has bad intentions of sneaking into someone else’s house for food? Go on then. I’m getting stuffy staying indoors anyway. I’ll keep watch over the houses for you all. It’s even better if there’s no trouble, but if there is, can’t I just shout for help?”

Seeing the situation, Su Shu didn’t say anything more, “Then, Sister Xiaoxia, we’re leaving.”

“Go ahead. Granny Ge and Teacher Fu are getting on in years. Luo Gang, young Su, take good care of them.”

From the side, Fu Shiyin laughed and said, “Ah, this daughter-in-law who worries about everything. My old lady here is still pretty fit. You, on the other hand, should go inside if you’re cold. Our family is poor; even if someone rummages through our house, they won’t find much. Don’t make yourself sick over it.”

Su Shu also said, “It’s the same with my house, nothing of value. It’s not worth your health.”

“I know what I’m doing. Just go. Everyone has already gone in; if you keep dawdling, what will you pick later, grass? Off you go.”

The Luo Family’s children, full of vigor, exclaimed, “Mom, just wait! I’ll bring you back a huge basketful!”

“Hahaha, good, Xiaozhi is ambitious. Go on!”

Luo Gang with his elder son Xiaozhi, Granny Ge leaning on her husband Fu Shiyin, and Su Shu holding Xiao’ai’s hand, this party of six made their way up the mountain, encountering many other residents from their district foraging for mushrooms along the way.

Usually idle, barring Luo Gang, none of the others had been up the mountain before. As they ascended, Su Shu, Granny Ge, and Granny Fu chatted and sighed about the difficulties of life.

They lived on the mountainside and had thought that residing in the mountain woods was already tough, but they hadn’t expected life higher up to seem even more challenging.

The temperature on the mountain was much lower than below. Fu Shiyin looked at the houses that shielded from the wind but didn’t stop the rain and felt a pang in her heart.

“Times are tough, human life is worth so little.”

There was a rise ahead of them. Su Shu was carrying Xiao’ai in one arm and helped support Fu Shiyin with the other hand, just about to speak.

Suddenly, a somewhat excited voice called out from beside, “Su Shu?” The tone seemed almost uncertain.

Responding to the voice, Su Shu turned her head around.
