Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 160 - : The Mushroom-Picking Party of Six

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: The Mushroom-Picking Party of Six

Chixia Village.

As the sky gradually darkened, the originally mild drizzle began to intensify.

Jiang Li looked up at the sky and turned to the people behind him and said,

“Let’s pick some mushrooms and head back to avoid getting caught in heavy rain later.”

Hearing this, Qi Tianyu and the other two, who were huffing and puffing from running and their faces pale as death, suddenly had their eyes light up.

“Really? We can all go gather mushrooms?”

Jiang Li nodded, “Of course, the mountains around here are public property, and many villagers go up to gather herbs and cut wood on regular days. It rained just last night, and there should be quite a few mushrooms sprouting this morning. Let’s hurry and gather them while the rain is still light, otherwise these fresh mushrooms will get spoiled.”

Only Jiang Yan, trailing at the back of the group, wore a look of disdain.

“What’s so fun about picking mushrooms? The mountain is all mud, and if you slip and face-plant into it, the loss won’t be worth it. You all go ahead and pick; I’m going back to catch up on some sleep.”

[I’m dying, is Jiang Yan unwilling to go up because he has a psychological shadow of mud?]

[I think so, maybe he has a clash with water in his Four Pillars of Destiny, why else would he have bad luck every time he gets covered in mud.]

[I just realized, why are there half as many people in Lili’s live stream room? The popularity has also dropped so much.]

[That’s because the live stream in the room next door, from Wanwan, has started. With Wanwan appearing, who would want to stay in this white lotus’s live stream room? Bye-bye, I’m going too.]

[Hurry up and leave; why are Su Yinwan’s fans so negative? Early in the morning when we want to enjoy a variety show, we still have to see them putting others down. Really speechless!]

But Jiang Yan’s little scheme did not succeed.

Just as he turned around, Wen Jiaojiao strode forward and grabbed his ear.

Jiang Yan immediately cried out.

“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! That hurts! Wen Jiaojiao, what are you doing?! Have you gone mad?”

Wen Jiaojiao did not let go, and snorted, “No leaving, you think you can freeload and be lazy at the same time? You think you can take all the benefits for yourself? Dream on!”

She didn’t know where her strength came from, but she ended up dragging Jiang Yan away by his ear.

With his “Achilles’ heel” in her grasp, although he had the mind to resist, he was powerless to do so and could only be led away, cursing as she pulled his ear.

Wen Jiaojiao turned around with a smug look and winked at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li gave her a thumbs up.

Wen Jiaojiao felt even more triumphant, her ponytail swishing higher with every step.

Seeing this, Shu Yan approached Jiang Li with a sympathetic tone,

“Hey, you’re not going to do anything about your brother getting picked on like that?”

Jiang Li looked at her, “Why should I? Either way, even if Wen Jiaojiao hadn’t done anything, I would have.”

When dealing with someone with thick skin like Jiang Yan, it’s more reliable to take practical action.

Shu Yan’s mouth formed an “O”.

It wasn’t as if there hadn’t been siblings on reality shows before, but they always created an atmosphere of harmony and close intimacy.

How did it all change when it came to the Jiang siblings?

The group then set off for the mountain.

Despite the slippery mountain paths during the drizzle, they were passable, as the nearby villagers had paved the trail with quite a few stones.

Qi Tianyu volunteered to lead the way at the front, followed by Wen Jiaojiao with her face full of pride and Jiang Yan with his ears red and his face black with anger.

Then came Shu Yan and Jiang Li, while He Yun silently moved to the back of the line.

Astute viewers quickly noticed something amiss.

[Ladies, have you noticed that Mr. He seems to have intentionally moved to the back! He was originally following Qi!]

“Ahhh, there’s Lili up ahead, and someone bumped into me without saying anything.”

“He Yun is really quite considerate, knowing to walk at the end to protect Jiang Li. Who even spread those rumors about him being a diva before?”

It wasn’t long before Jiang Li’s sharp eyes spotted a mushroom poking through.

Since she left in a hurry, she didn’t bring any tools and had to find a stick to break off, using its sharp end to carefully dig around the mushroom.

When that pure white mushroom lay perfectly in the palm of her hand, everyone else was stunned.

“Damn, Sister Li, are you actually this skilled at picking mushrooms?” Qi Tianyu exclaimed, “You’d think you were a local native if you didn’t know any better.”

Jiang Li just smiled and didn’t say anything.

She did indeed have experience.

After all, when she lived at Daqi Farm in the past, she would often carry a basket to the nearby mountains to forage for wild delicacies.

Over time, she became familiar with the growth habits of mushrooms and learned how to pick a perfect one.

Jiang Li didn’t keep her expertise to herself; she openly shared all her experience with everyone.

She even taught them a few simple methods to distinguish between poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms.

After understanding, the others joined her in the mushroom picking.

“Oh my gosh, Jiang Li can actually pick mushrooms. I thought she got her mushrooms from the villagers before, my apologies for the misunderstanding.”

“Lili is so nice, patiently sharing her expertise with everyone. I really love this treasure of a girl.”

“Although the weather is not cooperating, I feel it adds to the mood. It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a warm and loving scene on a reality show.”

“+1! I just went to check out Su Yinwan’s airport interview in the next tab, she’s too highly praised by her fans. Still, this six-person group together is a better scene to watch.”

Before long, the viewers who had been diverted gradually started to come back.

The entry about the six-person group picking mushrooms in the morning rain successfully topped the trending search.

The media team was also busy, spending a lot of money on publicity, which quickly garnered a response.

Many bystanders were attracted by the heartwarming variety show scene and started to join the live broadcast.

In the mountains.

Wen Jiaojiao was always mindful of her guard duty and kept edging closer to Jiang Li from time to time.

Jiang Li worked quickly and in a short while, she had gathered more than a dozen mushrooms.

Wen Jiaojiao’s eyes rolled around, and seeing Jiang Li unearth another mushroom, she quickly acted surprised and clapped her hands exclaiming:

“Wow, Jiang Li, you’re so amazing, picking such a perfect mushroom!”

Jiang Li: ?

The others: ?

Audience in the live stream: ?

Is Wen Jiaojiao… having an episode again?

Qi Tianyu, standing by, shuddered, “Weird, why did it suddenly get so cold?”

“Hahaha, I endorse Qi’s dual-nature techniques for sure.”

“Low EQ: Some people start talking and the atmosphere tenses up; high EQ: Why did it suddenly get so cold?”

Seeing everyone staring at her with strange looks, Wen Jiaojiao put her hands on her hips, raised her chin defiantly, and said, “What’s wrong? Didn’t I speak accurately? Isn’t Jiang Li amazing?”

Shu Yan smiled and said through pursed lips, “What you said is correct, but Jiaojiao, didn’t you dislike Jiang Li before? Why are you suddenly praising her today?”

Wen Jiaojiao’s complexion choked up.

Shoot, did they find out?

Feeling somewhat guilty, she bluffed, “I—I like her, it’s none of—none of your business, is it?”
