After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

All the younger ones in the family, including Guangdan, were raised by Lin Daya alone, so in Guangdan's heart, this eldest sister is more important than any other brothers and sisters in the family.

After she absorbed these memories, she quickly felt the same way. When she heard that Lin Daya might not be having a good life, she felt very sad.

"Okay, these are not things you kids can worry about. Let's go to the mountain to collect firewood this afternoon. It will probably be a cold winter this year, so let's prepare more firewood. Goudan, you stay at home and take care of Doghead, Xiaoya and Yaya. Everyone else, follow me up the mountain."

Fang Cuihua interrupted the curious looks of the little kids at home and quickly arranged her afternoon affairs.

Fortunately, the village private school only has half a day of classes every day, so Goudan stays at home to help his children review their homework every afternoon.

Winter is approaching soon and the wild vegetables in the mountains are gradually disappearing. We can only collect some firewood and prepare for the winter.

Lin Goudan took small bites of the wild vegetable porridge in his bowl, which was obviously much thicker than Fang Cuihua's. He squinted his eyes and grinned as he announced his new name, causing another round of excitement in the family.

Guangdan found it a bit strange. When the book opened, Lin Xingzhi was already a famous young scholar in the surrounding towns and villages, so the protagonist's childhood was not described much except for occasional appearances in his memories.

Moreover, at the beginning of the original novel, the Lin family did not have so many people, so now that they have such a large family, what happened later?

After lunch, Guangdan thought that he still had a goal in the afternoon, so he found a tattered little bamboo basket from the corner of the yard, put it on his back, and followed the team to the back mountain.

Linjia Village is located in the valley, with the Li River flowing beside it. Almost all the towns in this area are built along the rivers, and this is the birthplace of the Li River. Following the Li River all the way east is the capital of Dali.

But the distance between them was very, very, very far in Guangdan's memory. How far exactly was it? The original book mentioned that it would take several months to get from Linjia Village to the capital, whether by water or by land.

"What are you thinking about? Don't fall into the manure pit and become stupid!" Arya reached out and pulled the little Jiujiu on Guangdan's head and said mockingly.

Take this kid for example. She clearly cares, but everything that comes out of her mouth is full of sarcasm, which makes her look a bit tsundere!

"I just stepped on it with one foot, it didn't fall off!" Goudan argued helplessly.

If nothing unexpected happens, everyone in the village will soon know that he fell into the manure pit. Now he is like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, and he doesn't care about anything anymore.

Thinking about the purpose of going up the mountain in the afternoon, Goudan asked in a low voice: "Second sister, why don't we pick mushrooms? It rained the day before yesterday, isn't this a good time to pick mushrooms?"

Lin Erya turned her head and rolled her eyes at him, saying, "You still know how to pick mushrooms? The villagers went up the mountain before dawn yesterday, and it was your turn when you slept until the middle of the morning?"

After being attacked again, Guangdan touched his nose, looked at the pine tree not far away and fell into deep thought.

In his memory, the area around Linjia Village had more mountains than paddy fields, and every household lived mostly in the mountains. The food was mostly beans and grains, so Guangdan didn't have much memory of white rice at all.

It is common for villagers to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains, but looking at the large pine forest behind the mountain, Guangdan felt that he still had to think of a way.

The large area behind the mountain is all part of Linjia Village. The pine trees here provide the villagers with a lot of pine needles for lighting fires every year.

But the pine forest is far away, inside the back mountain, and most people go there. Children as old as Goudan are generally not allowed to enter.

But that is a pine tree, maybe there are matsutake mushrooms underneath. If you can get a few pounds of matsutake mushrooms, you will get some coins in return!

Thinking of this, Guangdan became very heroic and ran to Fang Cuihua, whispering, "Mom, I'll go over there and take a look!"

He pointed in the direction of the pine forest and ran away like a firecracker.

"Be careful and don't run too deep! Gouwei, go and keep an eye on him!" Fang Cuihua warned her eldest son with some concern.

After all, Gouwei was a big kid, and he quickly caught up with Guangdan who was running.

"Brother, how about we make a small profit today!!!!" Guangdan's excited little face showed a hint of joy for some reason.

I don't know why, but it gives people a somewhat vulgar feeling for no apparent reason!

"Second brother, why don't you find a place to lie down for a while? I'll help you fill the basket, and then you can just carry it back when the time comes." Gouwei said seriously and solemnly.

After all, he had seen through his younger brother and knew that he must be looking for a place where no one was around to be lazy. What could he do as a brother? Of course he would help him!

Lin Guangdan stared with his big black eyes and said firmly: "Okay, big brother, I'll rely on you for the bamboo basket! When I find the big treasure, I'll give you copper coins to marry a wife!"

Lin Gouwei's little face suddenly turned dark and red, and he nodded awkwardly.

Oh my! Something is going on. A thirteen-year-old is in a premature love relationship? Oh no, thirteen is not young anymore! It is not considered a premature love relationship!

But isn't this really precocious?

The two came to an area with a lot of pine needles, and Dogtail scratched the ground with his claws. He had not planned to come here today, so he did not bring a rake.

Lin Guangdan simply threw the small bamboo basket to the ground, then found a small stick and stood under the pine tree to dig carefully.

Although he is not very professional, who hasn't seen videos of digging mushrooms on Tik Tok?

Even when she was still Lin Xiaoxi, she went to Yunnan to eat mushrooms and caught little people!

So Lin Guangdan was full of confidence, but he was a little puzzled in his heart that the villagers didn't know about Matsutake. Logically speaking, Linjia Village had produced a Jinshi, so there should be knowledgeable people there, right?

But he didn't know how terrible the destruction of war was at that time. Besides, these honest farmers who made a living in the fields led a monotonous life. Who would have the time to dig under the pine trees?

Gouwei didn't care what his second brother was doing. If he wasn't sleeping, he was looking for wild fruits to eat! He dug out a mountain of pine needles.

Meanwhile, Lin Guangdan was digging around on the ground with a small stick, but as expected, there was nothing!

My butt was so tired that I just sat on the pine needles and started to review the videos of digging matsutake mushrooms in my memory.

Unless it is a very large matsutake mushroom, it is difficult to see. It usually grows under pine needles and soil, and most of them grow in damp and shady places.

After taking a break, Guangdan changed his strategy. It was too slow to dig like this. There were a lot of pine needles in the forest, covering the ground in a thick layer. Only the pine needles on the outer edge of the pine forest were raked home by the villagers.

Guangdan started by squatting on the ground and carefully pressing his hands on the pine needles. As the matsutake mushrooms grew under the soil, the ground would gradually bulge out and then explode, revealing the small heads of the matsutake mushrooms.

I squatted under four or five pine trees in a row, and it can't be said that I gained nothing. I picked a few edible mushrooms that are common in the back mountain, but I didn't see any matsutake mushrooms.

He was not in a hurry. When he saw a slightly raised pine needle bag on the sixth pine tree, Lin Guangdan became excited!

"Brother!!! Big brother!!!! Gouwei!" After a burst of ghostly howling cries, Gouwei ran over with a panicked look on his face.

"What, what happened? What bit you?!" Gouwei said as he prepared to go find some herbs nearby!

Lin Guangdan grinned and pulled his elder brother to his side, squatting down to comfort him: "Brother, look! Your younger brother is going to get rich soon! I found a great treasure! A great treasure!!!"

After saying that, he held his breath, stretched out his little hand and carefully removed the pine needles on the small bulge, and a brown and yellow little matsutake head came into view!

"Look, brother, this thing is very expensive! Shush, don't let others know! Keep it a secret!" As he said this in a mysterious way, he used his fingers to dig the soil under the yellow head.

Who understands? He was even worried that the small stick would hurt his big baby!

"Is this mushroom?" Gouwei didn't understand what this silly brother was so excited about. Isn't it just mushrooms? Although there are people who come to collect mushrooms every year, they are not that expensive, right?

"It's a mushroom, but it's not an ordinary mushroom!" He struggled to dig a matsutake mushroom as big as his hand out of the soil and was about to brag about it.

A hand was placed on the shoulders of the two brothers at the same time, and an old voice sounded faintly from behind them.

"What's so special about this mushroom? What kind of treasure is it?"
