The next morning, Si Jiuyue strapped on her basket and headed up the mountain to forage for mushrooms.
With the Dragon Boat Festival just two days away, she wanted to celebrate according to Da Wu customs, in addition to her foraging. Since she was currently the only one who could wander freely around the Forbidden Mountain, the mushrooms in the forest were essentially hers for the taking. The others at most ventured to the valley edges or the base of the mountain to pick a few.
But it was different for Si Jiuyue. Once she reached the higher slopes, she found she didn't even need to search; a bounty of mushrooms seemed to vie for her attention. There were morels, termite mushrooms, and russula mushrooms almost everywhere she looked. To ensure she could conveniently bring out the dry goods she had hoarded in her Dimension from her modern life when winter arrived, she decided to gather plenty of fresh mushrooms today to dry out. That way, she could display them openly come winter.
