On the way to the mountain, they met several villagers who came to pick chestnuts with bamboo baskets on their backs, and walked to the hillside. When reached the forest, the crowd dispersed, so they couldn't see them anymore. Sometimes, they could hear parents shouting to the wild boy to stop messing around. There was a vague movement of running.

As soon as he turned his head, he could see Shen Xuanqing picking up chestnuts beside him. He put the chestnuts that he couldn't hold on Shen Xuanqing's clothes, which made Lu Gu felt unexplainable. He simply didn’t think about it, and concentrated on picking chestnuts.

Shen Yan came over with a bamboo basket, Shen Xuanqing poured all the chestnuts in his clothes into it, and walked forward with Lu Gu, there were indeed not many things here, he saw many in the deep forest that day, but he was busy hunting so he just picked up some for Lu Gu to eat.

When passing by a water bun tree, it was covered with red fruits, the fruit was bigger than an adult's finger, and could be stuffed into his mouth. Shen Yan pointed to the tree and said to Lu Gu: "Brother Guzi, this was bitter buns, you could’t eat them.”

“Yeah.” Lu Gu nodded, thinking of the sweet bun tree he found, he said, “I found the sweet ones in the mountains, and I wanted to bring you some. But I was in a hurry to go down the mountain yesterday, so I didn’t have time to pick it.”
