Seeing this, Su Yonghe put down his backpack and chased after him without caring about anything else.

Looking at the fruit tree in front of her, she saw that all its leaves had fallen off, and the tree was full of golden fruits in bunches. Su Ziling was so happy that she could hardly see her teeth.

I felt like I was getting rich. Such a large area was filled with ice powder fruits, and I could make many bowls of ice powder.

It's August now, and although autumn has already entered, it's still very hot today. It would be nice to have a bowl of ice-cold ice powder.

The ice-pink trees in this area were all very tall. At least she couldn't see her head when she looked around. She had to stand on tiptoes. If she entered the ice-pink forest, no one outside would be able to see her.

She didn't bring a bag or a basket or anything with her now, so it wouldn't work to pick the fruits one by one. If she had to pick them up again tomorrow...

Su Ziling shook her head, no, she couldn't wait a moment. She had to take it home today and do it again tomorrow. Then wouldn't she have been stabbed in vain today?

She lowered her head and glanced at the woolen pants she had just picked up. After just one glance, she withdrew her gaze. She was secretly glad that she was not a patient with trypophobia, otherwise she would have been scared to death.

The trousers are tied, and the hedgehog's thorns are not as dense as the trousers. You can feel the solid heaviness every time you lift your legs and take a step.

She thought for a while, since she couldn't pick it off, she could still uproot it!

She raised the corner of her mouth, took out the sickle from her back, bent down, and started chopping quickly.

When Su Yonghe came next to her, she had already chopped down two or three trees. Su Yonghe looked at Su Ziling who was cutting the ice powder tree with his butt sticking out, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"You jumped down without any care and didn't care about pricking you like a porcupine. Just for this thing?"

Su Ziling stopped, piled the ice powder trees neatly together, and looked at him, "What is this thing? Do you know the goods? This is a good thing! Who else is like a porcupine?"

Su Yonghe raised his chin and motioned for her to look at his pants.

Su Ziling already knew what her pants looked like. Her eyes fell on Su Yonghe, and she raised her chin like him, her eyes full of smiles, "Take a look at yourself first before you talk!"

The two looked at each other, looked at each other's pants, and then looked at each other. They couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Both of them are half-assed.

Su Yonghe smiled and took out the knife, "Cut the ice powder tree, right?"

His accent was a bit thick, but Su Ziling could still tell that the name was the same as hers.

"Yes, you know it?"

Su Yonghe said while cutting: "Who doesn't know about ice-pink trees? They are everywhere on the roadside."

Su Ziling frowned, "Are we walking on the same path? Why didn't I see one?"

Su Yonghe didn't stop moving. He was very strong and could chop down one tree after another. Su Ziling couldn't do it. He could chop down one tree with at least two or three swords.

"Oh, the ones on the roadside have been cut down before they bloom. It's normal to not see the ones that are cut back to feed the chickens and pigs. It's the only ones on the wasteland that no one comes to cut."

Su Ziling nodded and said, why didn't she see any of them? If nothing else, it was the duck from her fourth uncle's house. If you saw this thing, it would kill you in a minute.

"No, what's the use of this thing?" Su Yonghe really couldn't figure it out. You can use it to eat it. These are small seeds, so densely packed that you can't even bite them with your teeth.

If it wasn't for eating, he couldn't figure out what else it could be used for!

"You'll know when the time comes!" Su Ziling deliberately put it off, "Then do you know where there are more? I need a lot."

When she said she wanted a lot, Su Yonghe understood that this could definitely be used for food business again.

"I know, if you want, I'll take you to pick it. I know there are a lot of them in Youpianshan Col. I guess I can pick a few sacks, that's it..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

Su Ziling thought he was worried that it would delay his work, "Don't worry, there is also a wage for picking ice powder fruits, and the price is the same as filtering ice powder."

Su Yonghe straightened up and looked at her, with a bit of helplessness on his face, "I'm not worried about money. I just want to say that there are a lot of ghost grasses in that place, and they are even taller than here. I guess we When you two go in and out, you won't want to carry a pair of woolen pants. I think I can tie up your hair."

Su Ziling was stunned for a moment, "Is it that high?"

Su Yonghe nodded, "Anyway, since I'm in, my people can't be seen outside."

Su Ziling called him "good guy", wouldn't he be taller than her?

"When the time comes, let's cut a stick, open a path first, and then push it down on both sides."

The two of them were talking about picking ice-pink fruits tomorrow while they were cutting. Unknowingly, this piece was finished.

The two men cut two handfuls of thatch, twisted it into straw ropes, and tied the ice powder trees into two bundles, one large and one small.

Su Yonghe was carrying a basket on his back, carrying the large bundle of ice powder trees, while Su Ziling was carrying the small bundle.

Along the way, Su Ziling didn't forget to remind him to look at the roadside to see if there were any.

"It's all in bits and pieces. You lift and release it, but the tree you chopped down hasn't lost much!"

Su Ziling agreed upon hearing this. Most of these ice powders are already dry. You can pick them at home and dry them for a day before use. So you have to be careful when putting them away, otherwise the ice powder seeds will fall off.

Looking at the ice-pink trees here and there, Su Ziling had a somewhat distressed look on her face. Su Yonghe couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this, "No one wants this. You can just pick it again with a basket on your back at some time. But, You have to hurry up, I'm afraid of rain, and when a burst of rain passes, this ice powder cake will turn black."

Su Ziling was stunned, yes, we still have to consider the weather. "Then let's bring a few more sacks tomorrow, call my mother-in-law, and try to finish picking them in one day, otherwise this rain will really be in vain."

"Okay." Su Yonghe naturally had no objection. He was just a worker anyway, so he would do whatever Su Ziling said.

However, seeing how much she cared about the ice powder fruit, he asked, "Do you really need a lot?"

Su Ziling rolled her eyes, "Nonsense, do you think I would prick myself like this if I just wanted to eat?"

Su Yonghe also had a headache when he saw the ghost needle grass on his pants. Going back to pick the ghost needle grass this night was also a big project.

Su Yonghe gave her a suggestion, "If you want a lot, you can ask the children in the village to help with these bits and pieces. Give them a penny and a basket. How many people are rushing to do it. I guess you There’s no room left in the house.”

Su Ziling was stunned for a moment, "Is this possible?"

Su Yonghe glanced at her, "Why not?"

"No, I mean, can their adults agree? Also, is one penny less?"

"The crops have been harvested in the past two days and the number of children seems to be a little less. This is normal. The mountains, fields, and rivers are full of people who are catching fish, shrimps, and poaching eggs. They are so skinny that people think dogs are disgusting. , eatable and naughty, even adults can’t control it.”

"If you say that you can get a basket of ice-pink fruits for a penny, I think adults will pick them. They can be found everywhere, in flakes, just like picking up free money. Who would disagree?"

"As for the one-penny-carrying basket, if you think it's missing, you can add more yourself, but I think those who have the one-penny-carrying basket are probably going to rush to pick it up."

Su Ziling was dumbfounded after hearing what he said. She really hadn't thought about the child. After all, in her subconscious mind, this was child labor...
