Chapter 83 -83 I Just Want to Show Off

Bai Zhi’s luck wasn’t great, as the fruit she bit into was particularly sour, sour enough to make her salivate without needing to drink water. So she hurriedly continued eating the pancake.

After eating one pancake, Bai Zhi felt somewhat full. There was no helping it, although she wanted to eat more, the original owner had been used to eating so little. Her stomach was only so large, and it couldn’t hold any more; everything had to be approached gradually, without rushing.

Bai Zhi packed up the mountain pears and turned her gaze to the forest. More than mountain pears, she actually wanted to see if there were any kiwi fruits.

Bai Zhi squinted her eyes and began to search carefully.

Then, she saw nothing.

In the books, the group pet, when venturing into the mountains, would find either ginseng or Lingzhi mushrooms, but she… hehehe,

She really wanted to kill that original author. What kind of stuff was all this?

Forget it, forget it, keep a common mind, a common mind.

You’re just a supporting character, a supporting character, even cannon fodder. It’s most important to live well.

Thinking this way, Bai Zhi’s mood finally recovered somewhat when her eyes suddenly narrowed.

What did she see?

In the trees not far away, entwined vines…

“Cousin, that bit of white that just appeared, could it be August melons…”

As Bai Zhi spoke, her mouth nearly watered, those especially fragrant and tasty August melons.

What are August melons? They have another name, August burst, which means they split open in August, revealing the sweet flesh inside, with an alluring fragrance.

Upon hearing this, Bai Fei stood up as well. Luck was needed for finding August melons, because they were so delicious, they were usually picked as soon as someone remembered where they were. She had only eaten them a few times.

Bai Fei looked in the direction Bai Zhi was pointing—just like a crescent moon with a purple shell. It surely was.

Now they couldn’t care less about the pancakes. Were pancakes as fragrant as August melons? Definitely not!

“It definitely is, but it’s so high up,”

Bai Fei saw that it was up in a big tree; they would have to climb it, unable to get it down otherwise.

“No problem, watch me.”

Who was Bai Zhi? Whether climbing a mountain or diving into a river, there were no issues, thanks to the original owner’s skills that let her climb trees.

Bai Zhi climbed up immediately. Why so excited? Because eating this fruit could beautify and remove spots.

What girl doesn’t want to be pretty? If anyone says there are, then drag them out and beat them.

[Certainly, no girl dislikes being pretty; even a plain Jane likes it, she just doesn’t have the chance.]

Bai Zhi climbed up, carefully picking one after another, and then lowered them with a basket for Bai Fei to transfer into a backpack. She continued like this, and after about an hour, they finally picked them all—about twenty.

But Bai Zhi was still very happy. It had been a long time and she was tired. Standing on the tree branch, there’s a saying that goes, ‘The higher you stand, the farther you see.’ From here, the entire village was visible.

It was still quite beautiful. Currently, people were trying to plant as much corn as possible, but in two more years, it would be time for reforestation, and those places full of corn would be filled with greenery again.

Bai Zhi glanced at the village chief and then towards the mountains when suddenly, her gaze was captivated once again. She seemed to have discovered wild grapes.

Could her luck also be good?

And yet, the group pet had a life of cheat codes, was she on a fruit cheat code?

Bai Zhi hurried down. Bai Fei was already eagerly tasting them, sweet as honey and even more delicious.

“Cousin, wait here for me. I think I saw grapes, I’m going to check. If they’re ripe, let’s pick them quickly.”

Grape season was her favorite time of the year—autumn. Actually, Bai Zhi was a foodie too.

Bai Fei was stunned and blurted out unexpectedly, “Did we just luck out big time today?”

Bai Zhi’s lips twitched. Could her cousin even speak properly?

“Cousin, can’t you say something nice? Do you have to talk about this while eating?”

Bai Fei thought back to what she had said and suddenly choked. What had she actually said?

“Cough, cough,” she accidentally inhaled too quickly and choked, her luck souring.

Clearly, Bai Fei had recalled that certain ‘something’.

“I’ll go with you,” Bai Fei also stood up. She was going to join Bai Zhi and help out.

With baskets in hand, Bai Zhi and Bai Fei set off. The tree seemed close, but in reality…

It was ridiculously far. They walked and climbed for a long time before finally reaching the destination. It was indeed grapes, violet-skinned grapes. Bai Zhi picked one, peeled it, and tasted it—slightly sweet and tart, not bad. Many grapes had fallen to the ground unharvested, which was such a waste.

The two carefully picked and filled their basket. Since they found the grapes too late, only one basket was filled with edible grapes; the rest were too ripe and had spoiled.

After they finished picking, they headed back the way they came.

When they returned to their starting spot, Bai Fei began eating an August melon.

“Cousin, aren’t you full?”

She remembered Bai Fei had seemed to eat two pancakes not long ago. Such large pancakes…

“Not full, burp…”

Bai Fei covered her mouth, embarrassed by her hiccup. How awkward.

“Let’s head back; we got a basket of grapes. It’s not much, but we know the place now—we’ll come earlier next year.”

Then they could make grape wine. Though Bai Zhi didn’t drink, she could brew wine since Grandpa enjoyed it. Of course, it was only grape wine, nothing else…

“A basket is already a lot. Let’s hurry back; we can put the grapes and this August melon in my backpack. It’s embarrassing to have you carrying everything, burp…”

Bai Fei quickly stood up, as if she’d really eaten too much. Her stomach felt uncomfortably full, but it wasn’t her fault. She wanted to stop eating, but her mouth seemed to crave another bite…

“Let’s go; just walk slowly, no need to rush.”

After Bai Zhi packed everything, they slowly made their descent.

On top of the basket, Bai Zhi placed some mountain pears to obscure what was underneath.

Perhaps it wasn’t necessary, but caution was always good. Some people tended to get envious.

So, it was better to cover it up a bit.

Upon reaching the walnut forest, everyone ran over and tried the mountain pears they picked. They immediately refused after one bite—they were too sour.

Walnuts were better, at least. Once dried, they could be sold for money and were tasty to boot.

Bai Fei wanted to say more, but Bai Zhi pulled her away. Arriving down below, Bai Fei still seemed disheartened.

“They were all laughing at us, Bai Zhi. Why didn’t you let me tell them we found August melons?”

She wanted to be the village’s best kid.

“Cousin, it’s true you were lucky to find them, but if they asked you for a taste, would you give it?”

They were all buddies. If she gave them any, there wouldn’t be many left, and the family hadn’t even tried them yet. It wouldn’t be right not to share.

“Of course not. You worked hard to bring these back. I just wanted to show off since they were sort of mocking us.”

She wasn’t blind; she’d seen the schadenfreude on some faces. In the village, only Heizi, Lanzi, and a few of her little brothers were alright. The others all had their schemes. She knew well enough; she wasn’t stupid.

“Cousin, now I know why you don’t have many friends.”

Heizi and Lanzi are friends with you because they are magnanimous.
