Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Wild Honey
Li Chenze looked back at Li Chenmo and asked, “He didn’t come today?”

The two looked at each other and shrugged. Since there isn’t much work, it’s no problem for Li Lingyun to skip work for a day or two.

At the same time, Li Lingyun was helping Pan Meijia collect mushrooms and firewood at the foot of the mountain. Pan Meijia has wanted to take him to her secret place for a long time. So after confirming the relationship, she didn’t hold anything back and took him to the place she found before.

After walking for an hour, they finally reached the slope. Li Lingyun saw the steep slope, took Pan Meijia’s hand and said, “Be careful, watch where you step.”

Pan Meijia was very happy with his caring attitude and said sweetly, “Okay.”

When they reached the bottom of the slope, Li Lingyun was surprised to find so many mushrooms growing here. In addition to mushrooms, there are several wild berry bushes and a few wild fruit trees. After arriving here, he finally found out where his girlfriend’s money came from.

Seeing his surprise, Pan Meijia said smugly, “How is it, Brother Yun? I didn’t lie to your right. I discovered this place before when I fell down the hill.”

She pointed to the place next to the old tree and added, “That place is where I found the Ganoderma lucidum.”

Hearing her words, Li Lingyun frowned at her and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me about your fall before? Did you go to the hospital?”

Seeing his worried expression, Pan Meijia put down her hand and said, “We were just friends at that time so I don’t think it’s necessary to tell you this. I used ointment and didn’t go to the hospital.”

Li Lingyun closed his eyes, took a deep breath to control the fear in his heart, and said, “Jia Er, from now on, you must tell me whenever you want to come to the mountain or the foothills.”

Before Pan Meijia could say anything, he added, “If you don’t tell me and come secretly by yourself, I won’t buy your favorite dumpling soup for you.”

Seeing his firm attitude, Pan Meijia pouted and said, “Okay, I’ll tell you next time.”

Li Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her promise. He held her hand and said softly, “Jia Er, I didn’t mean to control you. I was just worried about your safety. Do you know how scared I was when I heard what you just said? What should I do if something happens to you?”

Although Pan Meijia felt that it was nothing as she was not injured and even found this place, she noticed that her boyfriend’s hands were shaking. Looking at his deep frown, she didn’t want him to feel sad or worry because of her. Therefore, she decided to take good care of herself and be more careful in the future so as not to worry her boyfriend.

After thinking about it, she nodded and said, “Brother Yun, I’m sorry for making you worry. I promise I will be more careful next time.”

Hearing what she said, Li Lingyun rubbed her head and nodded, “Mhmm.”

After a brief conversation, they started collecting mushrooms. There is a small cave near the slope where they put the collected mushrooms to dry. Fresh mushrooms are much heavier than dried ones. Since they planned to sell the dried mushrooms to Houzi, they agreed to dry them in the cave first and then take them directly to the black market when they had accumulated enough.

While picking mushrooms, Pan Meijia walked into the woods near the old tree and saw a huge wild beehive. Although she was ecstatic, she was afraid to take a wild beehive without preparation. So, she ran back to find her boyfriend while shouting, “Brother Yun!”

Hearing his girlfriend’s voice, Li Lingyun looked up and saw her running quickly. He was afraid that she would trip and get hurt, so he strode towards her and said worriedly, “Slow down.”

Remembering her promise, she stopped running and walked quickly. Pan Meijia’s heart was beating wildly with excitement. After taking a few deep breaths, she pointed at the trees and said, “Brother Yun, I found a wild beehive! We are so lucky today!”

Hearing her words, a trace of surprise and excitement flashed in his eyes, and he said, “We need to make some preparations before we can collect it. I will pick it up after we return to the village.”

At first, Pan Meijia was worried that someone would discover this place. But thinking that it was so hidden, she felt relieved. She nodded to him and said, “Okay, let’s pick mushrooms quickly.”

Li Lingyun smiled when he saw her eager look. Thinking of her carelessness just now, he flicked her forehead lightly and said, “Don’t run so fast next time. Otherwise, you will fall and get hurt.”

Pan Meijia covered her forehead and said with a pout, “Okay.”

Seeing her aggrieved look, Li Lingyun sighed. His girlfriend is still young, so he should be more understanding. Stretching out his hand, he rubbed her forehead and said helplessly, “If you are injured, I will be worried and sad. So please do me a favor and be more careful, okay?”

After hearing what he said, Pan Meijia blushed and said, “Okay.”

Two hours later, the mature mushrooms were collected. They let the young mushroom grow more and then collect it next time. As they walked back to the village, their bamboo baskets were filled with firewood.

After sending Pan Meijia back to the Lu family’s house, Li Lingyun went to his house to get a hat, gloves, a big jar and a fire stick. He then returned to the hillside to retrieve the wild beehives. He lit a fire and used the smoke to drive away the bees.

He made sure to properly cover his face, hands, feet and body as the bees left, then used a dagger to cut the hive from the tree.
