Chapter 195 Original Sin 4
Of course, even if Yun Shuangshuang plans to harvest truffles to make money, it’s currently not feasible, because the truffle harvesting season is between November and March of the following year. The best time is from December to March, and it’s only September now. At least two more months are needed before truffle harvesting can begin.
What Yun Shuangshuang most wants to do now is to get some food for her mother. Relying on the food at home is impossible since everything at home is tightly controlled by her grandmother, Wang Guixiang. Except for her small cousin from her uncle’s family, no one else is allowed to eat.
Not to mention eggs and meat, even rice is counted grain by grain by Wang Guixiang, and she is unwilling to let Yun Shuangshuang, this "money-losing" child, eat her fill, let alone allow her to eat outside of meals, which is as difficult as reaching the sky! If Yun Shuangshuang wants to get food for her mother, she has to go out and find it.
Fortunately, the current Yun Shuangshuang has grown up. Unlike her previous life, where she didn’t know how to utilize her nasal advantage well before the age of fifteen, she now knows how to fully leverage her developed sense of smell.
Now that it’s almost harvest time, Yun Shuangshuang’s main job is to go out and pick some wild vegetables to feed the pigs and chickens. The adults at home have all gone to the fields to look after the crops. As the harvest approaches, it’s the busiest time for farmers, who love to be in the fields no matter what.
Her little cousin has also gone to the fields. In the current field edges, it’s the time when some small wild fruits are ripening. The village children love to go to the fields to pick wild fruits and play with a group of small companions, but naturally, Yun Shuangshuang, who must stay at home to help with housework, does not have such a benefit.
For the current Yun Shuangshuang, not being able to go to the fields is a good thing, as it allows her to act alone easily. Carrying the basket she used to collect wild vegetables, Yun Shuangshuang headed directly to the mountain behind her house.
This is a small hill, not a place people from the village visit often. That’s why there are plenty of wild vegetables in the field. Occasionally, you can even encounter wild chickens or rabbits. This mountain is close to Yun Shuangshuang’s home, and she used to come here to dig wild vegetables, saving herself a lot of effort.
This time, Yun Shuangshuang didn’t plan to dig wild vegetables when she entered the mountain. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and carefully distinguished the smells in the air.
With her eyes closed, Yun Shuangshuang seemed to enter another world instantly! A world composed of various smells, with different scents from every kind of plant, the smells from all sorts of animals, even each insect has its unique scent, and then, the various fungal scents!
