Chapter 10 - Alone on the Mountain

"I have to go back. Your aunt and your uncle went to work in the fields. "If they find out that I'm coming over again, your aunt will come looking for trouble again," the old man picked up his walking stick and left.

"Grandmother, I'll come see you another day." Mo Xiao Yan said.

"Xiao Yan, I'll go cook. You stay in the courtyard for a while." Then, he ran into the kitchen without waiting for Mo Xiao Yan's reply.

Mo Xiao Yan sat for a while as he felt bored, so he decided to take a walk around the mountain.

"Second Sister, I'll go out and take a look. I'll be back in a while." Mo Xiao Yan said from the kitchen door.

"Alright, then don't go too far. We'll be eating soon. Remember to come back early." Mo Xiao Xia said as she was busy with the work on her hands.

"Mn, I got it, Second Sister."

Mo Xiao Yan saw that there was a small basket on the corner, so he walked over and carried the basket on his back.

At this time of the day, he basically cooked at home, and did not meet any passersby on the way. They quickly entered the mountains and discovered there were grapes in front of them. Their size was much smaller than the ones sold outside.

"Pah pah..." "I'm so sore." He had never eaten wild grapes before, but he didn't expect it to be so sour! His saliva was going to come out from his mouth.

After walking for a while, he found that the road was not easy. Although he didn't go far, there were some thorns and branches on the road. He was already out of breath from just using those things. It seemed like he still lacked exercise.

He sat down to rest for a while and discovered that there were a few herbs. In modern times, his grandpa had opened a traditional Chinese medicine store, and he had seen quite a few of them since he was young. Although some of them could only be read from books, they were still quite familiar with these plants.

Mo Xiao Yan dug out all the surrounding herbs and stuffed them into the small basket. It was still pretty small, but he found plenty of places. Almost all the small baskets were filled to the brim. It seemed that no one came up to pick the herbs. Otherwise, how could it be so easy to find?

It had been 4 hours since they went up the mountain, and Mo Xiao Xia had probably finished cooking by now. Mo Xiao Yan hurried along the way, so tired that she could barely breathe when she returned home.

Mo Xiao Xia had already finished her food, and seeing how exhausted Mo Xiao Yan was, she said: "Xiao Yan, where did you go? You took so long to come back, I have already eaten, and I left the rice in the pot for you to eat, it's still warm, so hurry up and eat."

"Mn, I got it, Second Sister." Mo Xiao Yan put the basket down and went to the kitchen to eat.

"Xiao Yan, what's in the basket? Mo Xiao Xia looked at Mo Xiao Yan's basket and asked.

Mo Xiao Xia was shocked: "You know about medicinal herbs? "Don't get some useless weeds."

Mo Xiao Yan said in a speechless manner, "In the past, when I was playing outside, I saw others picking it, so I knew." Mo Xiao Yan casually made up an excuse.

Just then, Mo Lin Yu came back, and said: "These two days are the birthday celebration for the Chen family's old granny, many people were helping, and I have to go help them for two days. Tomorrow, there will be a production team, and it will probably be very lively by then. Do you two little girls want to go and watch it? "

Mo Xiao Yan had not seen it before, he must really want to go.

"Big Brother, how about I go with you tomorrow morning with Second Sister?" Mo Xiao Yan said.

"Alright, then I have to go early tomorrow morning. I went there early, and I'll be going there as soon as the sun rises."
