Chapter 6441 Can You Out-Scolder It

Well, matsutake mushrooms grow in clusters.

It looks like a cluster of enoki mushrooms, but it's actually a type of mushroom. It grows in a way that resembles tree branches or deer antlers, with each mushroom growing in a branch-like pattern. It's delicious in salads or soups, tender, and free of impurities.

These are definitely expensive. It's more cost-effective to eat them yourself than to sell them.

Worried about damaging them, Zhu Xingrong and Luo Bi carefully dug them up, lined the basket with leaves, added the matsutake mushrooms, and then searched the vicinity. When they found some delicious sour fruit, they immediately started picking them.

Hurry up and catch it, I'm worried there might be some strange beasts.

The little fireball patrolled around, then rushed back. It had found a cluster of matsutake mushrooms. Luo Bi and Zhu Xingrong followed, and sure enough, there were two matsutake mushrooms. They dug them up.

There are still some water spinach on some of the trees, so hurry up and pick them.

"There are so many good things in the mountains." Zhu Xingrong was both scared and excited: "Ear fungus can be used in cold dishes or soups to enhance the flavor of the ingredients. There are quite a few of these after the rain."

Luo Bi nodded, went to look around, and found several more clusters of matsutake mushrooms.

Before Luo Bi could even feel her delight, the Wen family's little fireball ran back. Luo Bi was startled, thinking it was some kind of powerful beast, but then she saw a round-headed millet rat run out of the bushes.

There were two standing, about the height of a small stool, and each one was chubby.

Luo Bi's first thought was that there was millet nearby. Millet rats like to eat millet, and she wasn't afraid of them. Even if a rat cursed, Luo Bi wouldn't hesitate to curse back.

Zhu Xingrong ran over, surprised: "A millet rat?"

Luo Bi asked him, "Is it delicious?"

Zhu Xingrong nodded vigorously: "Delicious."

Millet rats or not, as long as there's millet around, that's fine. Luo Bi likes to eat millet buns; they're sticky, sweet, and filling. Where there are millet rats, there should be millet, right?
Luo Bi had no intention of provoking the millet rat. A live one would make a lot of noise and commotion if they fought. Although there might not be any groups in this mountain range, it was still better to avoid a fight.

When there is danger, I hope there are hunting teams and mercenary groups nearby; when there is something good, I don't want any teams nearby.

The little fireball hovered beside its aunt, showing no intention of rushing forward. Luo Bi estimated that the supplies in the vicinity should be relatively plentiful, and decided to go and search the area.

Luo Bi asked Zhu Xingrong, "Have the matsutake mushrooms been dug up yet?"

Zhu Xingrong nodded and pointed to the small basket on his back: "It's dug down."

It's already in the basket.

Luo Bi called to Zhu Xingrong to go around the two millet rats. After taking only a few steps, the two millet rats ran over and blocked their way, squeaking and refusing to let them pass. Luo Bi snorted indignantly and pulled Zhu Xingrong to the other side.

The other side wouldn't work either, as the millet mouse stretched out its little paws to block the way.

Luo Bi was furious: "You're asking for a beating."

The millet rat bared its teeth and grinned.

"Can you beat two millet rats?" Luo Bi turned to ask Zhu Xingrong.

Zhu Xingrong said, "I can out-curse it."

Luo Bi: "..."

Luo Bi planned to charge straight in. What a bunch of squirrels! Who's afraid of them? They're just tall and have books. If it doesn't work, they can fight them. There are only two of them; they're not that many squirrels. Zhu Xingrong also thought it was worth a try.

"Little fireball," Luo Bi instructed, "You go first."

The little fireball tapped, and then Luo Bi grabbed a small hoe and rushed up with Zhu Xingrong. The little fireball also rushed up, and the millet rat cursed and went to meet them. No one was afraid of anyone.

Luo Bi swung her small hoe at a millet rat, Zhu Xingrong used his small jade sword to fight another, and Wen Jia threw a fireball. (End of Chapter)
