Because Zuo Shiling'er wanted to see how Uncle Zhao and the others were collecting honey, after a short lunch break, the group left the place where they temporarily stayed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Uncle Zhao, where are we going to find the hive?"

Under the protection of his brother, Zuo Shi Ling'er walked smoothly on the mountain path.

Uncle Zhao swept away the branches in front of him with his hand, and replied in a deep voice: "Turn over the hillside in front, and we will arrive." Rock bees return to the same place every year to build their nests, so it's easy to find them. ”

Zuo Shi Ling'er raised his eyes and glanced at the hillside in front of him. "Oh, let's go faster, then."

"Little girl, don't worry."

"Hmm."

The people who picked honey from Zuo Shiling'er were not in a hurry, and they slowed down their pace of progress.

Qing Yao looked at the excited Zuo Shi Ling'er, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

"See, it's the cliff in front of you."

When the group climbed over the hillside and came to a ravine, Uncle Zhao raised his hand and pointed to the depression where he was dodging.

Qing Yao and the others raised their eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough, they saw the beehive on the mountain wall.

After a few people approached, Uncle Zhao shook his head and sighed lightly: "This hive is wasted, and no bees have come back this year." Let's go, go to the next place. ”

In order to take care of Zuo Shi Ling'er's idea, the rest of the people naturally would not speak out against it.

"Uncle Zhao, are you going to pick honey again?"

Just as everyone was slowly walking towards a hillside, a young man with a backpack walked out of the side path.

Uncle Zhao heard the person calling to him lightly, and raised his eyes to look. "Dashan, what are you?"

"Isn't it a good day today? I just wanted to pick some stone fungus. ”

The young man who was called the mountain raised his hand and grabbed his hair, and smiled innocently.

"Okay, I'll go up too, let's go together."

"Okay, Uncle Zhao." After answering, Dashan turned his gaze to the few people behind the other party. "Who are these?"

Uncle Zhao looked back at the few people behind him, and introduced with a smile: "These are all distinguished guests of the village chief's family, this little girl is curious about how we collect honey, so I want to go and see." ”

After a brief exchange, several people began to move towards the same destination.

"Alright, that's the front."

Everyone followed Uncle Zhao's raised arm and looked at the beehive on the cliff.

"Let's go up first, you can watch from below."

"Okay."

Qing Yao grabbed Zuo Shi Ling'er, who wanted to accompany her, and replied with a slight bow.

She didn't know how these people were going to collect honey, but the huge hive looked dangerous.

"Several, then I'll take my leave."

Dashan nodded to everyone and slowly walked towards the other peak.

"Sister Qingyao, come and rest for a while."

After finding a bare mountain rock, Zuo Shi Ling'er beckoned to Qing Yao and called softly.

Qing Yao slowly came to the other party's side and set her eyes on the mountain flowers that were blooming all over the mountain.

As summer quietly approaches, all kinds of mountain flowers are constantly shaking their branches under the breeze.

"It's beautiful......

Zuo Shiling'er looked at everything in front of him, took a deep breath, and sighed.

Qing Yao nodded in agreement, and her expression gradually relaxed.

"Hey, they're going up."

Zuo Shi Ling'er pointed to the figure on the hillside in the distance and said in amazement.

Hearing this, Qing Yao raised her eyes and looked over.

From their point of view, they could only roughly see a figure shaking on the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, a rope ladder was thrown down from above, tangled and landed near the hive.

At this time, Uncle Zhao slowly climbed down the rope ladder from above, and when climbing, he kicked the rope ladder wrapped around with his feet from time to time.

Qing Yao was a little nervous just looking at it like this.

Although the cliff is sometimes very high, it is enough to seriously injure those who fall from it. Moreover, the cliffs of Naki Mountain were originally vertically up and down, and there was no suitable foothold around.

"It turns out that honey harvesting is so dangerous!"

Zuo Shiling'er also looked at all this in shock.

When the rope ladder was straightened out, the wooden barrel used to hold the honey was also thrown down with a rope tied to it. Then, a flaming torch smoked and was placed in the hands of those below.

As the smoke spreads, the swarm begins to scatter and fly.

I saw that after smoking away most of the bee colony, Uncle Zhao swept away the remaining rock peaks on the beehive with a branch, cut off the hive directly with a knife, and then put it all into the barrel.

While a few people were silently observing, Uncle Zhao and the others had already picked rock honey and were slowly walking down the hillside with tools.

Seeing this, Zuo Shiling'er stepped forward quickly.

"Show me, show me."

Uncle Zhao saw that she was curious, so he asked his apprentice to bring the barrel over.

"Wow, that's so much." Zuo Shiling'er exclaimed.

"The yellow part of the hive is pollen, the white part is honey, and this hive is not too big." Uncle Zhao explained with a chuckle, then took a piece of beehive and pointed to a different hive hole on the edge. "This is where the queen bee lives."

Zuo Shiling'er looked at this hole, which was obviously larger than the other beehives, and her eyes shone brightly.

"Uncle Zhao, I saw you surrounded by a swarm of bees just now, don't those rock bees sting?"

Qing Yao looked at the remaining rock bees on the hive and couldn't help but be a little curious.

"No, the rock bees are pure, and I just smoked it."

"Oh......" Qing Yao nodded, indicating that she was taught.

"Let's go, let's go to the next place."

Uncle Zhao motioned to his apprentices to put away the hives, and invited the rest of them with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's continue."

Zuo Shiling'er replied and followed quickly.

When a few people had just walked a few steps, they saw a big mountain picking stone fungus on the side of the mountain wall.

"Dashan, how's the harvest?"

Uncle Zhao asked with a shout to the people on the hillside.

"Uncle Zhao, this year's stone ear is growing well." With a smile, Oyama responded loudly to the questioner.

"That's good, stay safe."

"Got it."

The two shouted at each other and ended the conversation.

"What is a stone ear?"

Zuo Shi Ling'er raised her eyes to look at what Dashan was picking, and doubts flashed in her eyes.

When Qing Yao heard this, she replied in a deep voice: "Stone fungus is a kind of medicinal material, also known as stone wall flower, rock mushroom, and stone mushroom, which looks similar to fungus. ”

"Oh, yes......"

Zuo Shi Ling'er let out a long sigh and turned his gaze to the person climbing on the mountain wall.

"Don't you want to continue watching the honey picking, let's go."

Qing Yao grabbed the looking Zuo Shi Ling'er and slowly kept up with the pace of the person in front of her.

When Uncle Zhao and the others picked a beehive again, they had to say goodbye and leave. So the two groups of people parted ways after saying goodbye to each other.

Qing Yao raised her eyes to look at the sun slanting to the west, looked back at Qiguan Junyao and asked, "Are we going back to the village now, or are we looking back at Sendai?" ”

The group had planned to go deep into the forest, but after meeting the bee on the way, they kept walking around the periphery of the forest.

Although it is getting late at this moment, it is possible to rush back to the village before dark.
