After taking a few big gulps, Jiang Kaiyuan turned around and saw that Jiang Lingxi was picking something up under a tree.
Without bothering to wash his face, he found a new leaf and folded it into a triangle. He scooped up some stream water, disinfected and filtered it, and bounced over to see what Jiang Lingxi was gathering.
A kind of round yellow berry, "Longan? There are longans here? But just eating this won't fill us up!"
Jiang Lingxi paused her actions and looked up at Jiang Kaiyuan.
Jiang Kaiyuan felt that her look seemed like she was looking at a fool.
"Did I mistake it for something else?"
Jiang Lingxi gathered the picked fruit, took the makeshift cup from Jiang Kaiyuan's hand, drank a few sips to clear her throat, and then spoke: "Soapberry, also known as false longan, and it's only spring now. These are last year's fruits; can't you see many on the ground are already moldy and black?"
