Gu Jiajia was just walking on, not even looking for wood ear mushrooms, when she ended up far from the rendezvous point.
Quan Canhong had told her to head north, saying that the direction is damp all year round, and rotten wood, after being moist for a long time, would sprout wood ears.
Among the lush trees where she couldn't see the sun above, how could Gu Jiajia know which way was east or north? She wandered aimlessly.
And besides, would she believe what Quan Canhong said? She was told to go north, but she stubbornly refused!
Having strayed far from the gathering place and not finding any wood ears, not that she was really trying, she cursed and rambled on until she finally... fell into a large pit.
The pit was large and deep, the entrance overgrown with many vines that concealed it completely, so when Gu Jiajia stepped over, she fell in.
At the bottom of the pit, there was a pile of leaves and vine leaves, so when Gu Jiajia fell, she didn't hit the ground too hard.
