There was a slight change in Richard and Amy's relationship after their battle with the python, but neither of them noticed it.
As they got up the next morning, the weather was pretty fine. The blue sky was as pure as a child's eyes.
She didn't see the sunrise, as she slept late last night and no one bore to wake her up in the early morning. It was already 7:30 when she got up, and the sun was shining bright.
"Oh, why didn't you wake me up? Didn't we agree to see the sunrise?" Amy was very regretted that she had missed the beautiful scenery. The landscape here was different at any moment. However, if she wanted to invest here, there would be chances.
"We can see other beautiful places after breakfast. I hope what happened yesterday didn't scare you." The village chief thought Amy must have been frightened.
"No, it didn't scare me." Amy used to be afraid of snakes, but after an accident, she was no longer afraid of the animal.
When they finished the breakfast, they set out for a new journey. After yesterday's accident, the village chief asked everyone to stay together. Although there was no danger, they should be careful.
Up on the hill, Amy was very interested in the mushrooms that grew everywhere and she picked up the beautiful mushrooms as the village chief did. But when she collected a basket of mushrooms, Richard emptied her basket.
"Oh, Richard, why did you throw out all my mushrooms?" Amy was so angry that she didn't let Richard go.
Richard also picked a basket of mushrooms, but he held his basket high so Amy couldn't touch it.
"Because the mushrooms you picked are poisonous. They looked beautiful but they aren't edible." The village chief's little girl had a crush on Richard. She thought he was handsome!
"They're poisonous?" Amy then remembered that before they ascended the hill, the village chief said many of the brightly colored mushrooms were poisonous. But when she saw such beautiful things, she forgot what the village chief said.
Luckily, Richard had dumped it all.
Richard felt she was a bit pitiful as Amy didn't speak. "Look, there are some edible mushrooms. Go pick some. We can add another dish for lunch." said Richard, pointing to a clump of mushrooms.
Amy immediately cheered herself up and went to the mushrooms.
It was such a big clump of mushrooms that picked many and half-filled her basket.
"What kind of mushroom is this? I have to keep it in mind." Amy gave her basket to Richard.
"It is a very valuable species, called Collybia albuminosa. Every year, this place has to generate a certain amount of mushrooms. Now, this mushroom will be exported." The little girl explained it to Amy.
"Wow, I'm very lucky, right? I picked the best mushrooms." Amy looked smug as she heard what the girl said. Then she followed everyone down the hill with her basket.
