"Really? But after Adam and Eve tasted the apple, they were expelled from the Garden of Eden by God and came to the earth." There was a hint of indifference in Huihara Ai's tone.

Xingchen looked up at Huibara Ai and wondered in his heart what kind of books she read that she knew so much mythological knowledge.

Speaking of Adam and Eve, Xingchen's thoughts could not help but drift back to a cartoon he watched in his childhood in his previous life - "Dragon and Phoenix Baby". Although the plot was vague, the man and woman in ancient times had the same purpose as the story before him.

"That fruit symbolizes the knowledge of distinguishing right from wrong." Huiyuan Ai continued, "Compared to Matsutake, it seems even more mysterious."

"You should eat more of this fruit of knowledge, Yuantai." Ayumi smiled, "It will be of great benefit to you."

"I don't need your reminder." Yuan Tai crossed his arms and turned away.

"Hey." Mitsuhiko's eyes moved between them.

"This is a story from the Old Testament, right?" Dr. Agasa nodded in confirmation.

"Speaking of the fruit of knowledge, there is another fruit that is also known as the fruit of wisdom." Xingchen stood up, gently brushed off the dust on his hands, and said with a smile.

"Eh?" The three of them looked at Xingchen at the same time and let out a slight exclamation.

"The fruit of wisdom?" Ayumi repeated.

"What is that?" Yuan Tai looked confused.

Xingchen put his hands on his hips and explained, "That's a banana. Legend has it that Sakyamuni gained great wisdom by eating bananas, so it is also known as the fruit of wisdom."

Huiyuan Ai crossed her arms and stared at Xingchen, slightly surprised. Xingchen also knew all this, but he had no interest in this kind of knowledge before.

"So there is such a legend." Ayumi was surprised. She really gained a lot today.

"This is a Buddhist legend, right?" Dr. Agasa had some knowledge of this and nodded in agreement.

"Hehe, that's right. Although like the apple just now, this is just a folk legend, but eating more fruits does have many benefits." Xingchen raised his finger and continued, "At least it can make your belly smaller, Yuantai."

"So nagging..." Yuan Tai turned his head away, not taking it seriously.

"Only certain fruits can help you lose weight. If Kojima-san eats more high-sugar fruits, I'm afraid his belly won't get smaller, but bigger." Huihara Ai explained, "Of course, bananas can help you lose weight."

"Ha ha……"

Amidst laughter and chatter, they continued along the path deeper into the forest.

"Hey, is this a type of Matsutake?" Ayumi asked, pointing at the brown mushroom with small white spots under the tree.

Conan turned his head and explained: "Oh, this is a poisonous mushroom called Tengu Mushroom."

On the other side, Yuan Tai pointed at a bright red parasol mushroom and said, "The color of this mushroom is really beautiful."

After saying that, he wanted to reach out and touch it.

"Stop, Yuantai! That mushroom must be poisonous. It looks like an Amanita. Don't be fooled by its beauty. Just one of them is enough to make you lie down." Xingchen hurriedly stopped him. The wilderness survival guide he had read in the past two days came in handy.

"Ah, is it so scary?" Yuan Tai took a few steps back with a look of horror on his face.

"Chen is right, Yuantai." Mitsuhiko walked over, looked at the red Amanita, and said to Yuantai, who was already sweating profusely.

"Really?" Yuan Tai sat down on the ground, took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, gulped down half of it, and complained, "I'm so tired. I've been searching for so long but there's no clue. How can I find the Matsutake mushrooms?"

"Actually, there are still clues." When Conan heard Genta say this, of course he wanted to show off.

"?!" Xingchen was surprised because the wilderness survival guide didn't mention this. Wait, maybe you don't need to know how to identify matsutake mushrooms to survive in the wild.

Oops, he should have looked at some illustrated guides on mushroom picking.

"Look around carefully, have some of the pine leaves turned yellow-green?" Conan suggested.

"Yeah." The three little ones nodded in confirmation.

"Matsutake mushrooms usually like to attach themselves to the roots of red pine trees to absorb nutrients, so they look a little listless." Conan continued to explain.

"In addition, these red pines must be in an environment with good sunlight, drainage and ventilation during their growth."

"After we searched the destination based on these clues..." Conan looked around, walked under a pine tree and said, "Look, isn't the target here?"

"Where? Where!" the three little ones shouted and ran to Conan.

Others gathered around and looked at the matsutake mushrooms on the ground. Although Xingchen was somewhat happy, he turned his head to look at Conan and whispered, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

"Well..." Conan touched his head embarrassedly. After all, there was still an entire afternoon left and he felt it was still early.

And there is a limit on the number, it doesn't matter if you come early or late.

"Finding a matsutake mushroom is like solving a case." Xingchen muttered to himself. This was the first time he saw a real matsutake mushroom. The cap is cone-shaped, with irregular protrusions on the surface, and the color is light brown.

"Hehe..." Conan smiled speechlessly.

"This matsutake is so beautiful." Dr. Agasa said after picking it and observing it carefully.

"It smells so good." Yuan Tai described.

"We finally picked one." Ayumi said happily.

"Look, there's a pine tree over here whose leaves have turned yellow-green." Mitsuhiko turned around and pointed behind them and shouted.

"It looks like it won't be long before we reach the target." Xingchen turned and looked over there and replied, "That's good, let's go back early and enjoy the Matsutake feast!"

"Yes." Haibara Ai also nodded in agreement with a happy look on her face.

"Hey, I want to pick one too!" Yuan Tai waved his hand and shouted.

He looked around and saw a tree with yellow-green leaves outside the barbed wire, with many matsutake mushrooms growing at the roots.

On the other side, Xingchen and others did not notice that Yuantai did not catch up.

"I finally found a matsutake." Ayumi said while holding the brown matsutake in both hands. She felt that this description was inexplicably cute.

"Look, I found it too." Dr. Agasa showed it like a little child. This might be one of the reasons why he likes children.

Xingchen squatted in front of six matsutake mushrooms, sighed, and said regretfully: "If it weren't for the restriction that children can only pick two, I would at least pick all of this one!"

"Now it seems that picking mushrooms is really a bit like treasure hunting." Huiyuan Ai glanced at Xingchen and said, "If that's the case, there wouldn't be a limit on the number of mushrooms you can pick."

"Hmm?" Conan picked a matsutake mushroom and stood up. He looked around and turned around and asked in confusion, "Where did Yuanta go?"

"Indeed, I haven't seen him since a while ago." Huibara Ai said puzzledly, holding a matsutake in her hand.

"Yeah." Dr. Agasa also said that he did not see Genta.

"I guess he must have gone to the toilet over there." Ayumi guessed while holding four Matsutake mushrooms in her hands (two of which belong to Haibara Ai and Conan).

Xingchen was holding a matsutake in one hand. After hearing Conan's words, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Just now, Genta gulped down a lot of mineral water." Mitsuhiko also walked forward and said.

"It would be terrible if we got lost in a forest like this," said Dr. Agasa. "I think we should go back to where we were just now."

"Yeah." Several people responded.
