Chapter Twenty-Three: Treasure Hunting on the Mountain
Du Yue and Yuan Ping chatted while walking into the mountains, but Du Yue did not forget the purpose of her entering the mountains, and her eyes were also looking everywhere, hoping to see the baby. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe dew was heavy in the morning, and the trouser legs were wet when I went up the mountain to deliver food to Tang Yichen, the grass on the mountain was quite lush, but fortunately, the grass did not grow high, so even if no one had walked on these roads in the mountains, there was quite a lot of dew on the grass, and at this moment, Du Yue and Yuan Ping's trouser legs were even wetter, but fortunately, it was only a small part wet, so the two of them didn't care much, anyway, after a while, when the sun was a little stronger, there was no dew on the grass, and their trouser legs would dry quickly.
Du Yue used the firewood knife he brought to cut two branches, which were not big or long, just the thickness of an adult's thumb, and the length was about the same height as Du Yue, and now the two of them had one in their hands. The main reason for holding a stick is to be afraid of snakes, Du Yue is very afraid of snakes, and with a stick, he can drive away creatures like snakes. The two of them walked all the way with sticks in their hands, and when they saw the grass a little higher and couldn't see the ground, they poked with sticks first, but fortunately they didn't encounter snakes so far.
There was a thorn bush in front of her, and Du Yue and Yuan Ping were about to go around, but Du Yue saw a bird's nest, so she planned to get closer to the thorn bush first.
"Ping'er, there seems to be a bird's nest in front, I'll go over and take a look." Du Yue said to Yuan Ping.
"Sister Yue, then be careful, don't get too close, those thorns are thorny." Yuan Ping admonished.
"yes, I know." After Du Yue finished speaking, she walked towards the thorn bush, and happened to see four bird eggs in the bird's nest, this bird's egg is not big, it looks slightly smaller than a pigeon egg, and the color is similar to a pigeon egg. At this time, there were no birds in the bird's nest, and it was estimated that they had gone out to forage, so Du Yue, who only saw the eggs, couldn't tell what kind of bird it was, but Du Yue didn't care about this, so she took it first. But the bird's nest is a little inside the thorn bush, and these thorns are all thorny, and if you reach directly over it, you will definitely be stabbed. Du Yue took out the firewood knife pinned to his waist and cut off some of the thorns, just in time to reach out his hand to get the bird's egg, but not to stab his hand.
"Ping'er, look, I got four birds' eggs." Du Yue said excitedly to Yuan Ping.
"Well, I'll take some grass and put it in the back basket, and then you put the eggs in, so that it won't be easy to knock the eggs." After Yuan Ping finished speaking, he pulled a few handfuls of hay on the side and spread them on the back basket. Du Yue went over and gently put the egg in. Fortunately, when he came out, Yuan Ping still carried an empty back basket, if he only carried a back basket, he didn't know how to take the small clay pot at this time.
After putting the bird eggs, Du Yue and Yuan Ping bypassed the thorn bush and prepared to continue to walk forward, but there seemed to be two bird nests in the thorn bush here, if only there were eggs. At this time, they both walked towards the thorn bush. The two of them got closer to see, yes, there are eggs in the two nests, there are three eggs on the left, and there are four eggs on the right, and they have all gotten them, and then plus the eggs they just picked up, the two of them have picked up eleven eggs, and before they have picked up the eggs, the two of them are excited.
Du Yue took down the firewood knife on his waist, preparing to cut off all the thorns on the side just now, so that he would not worry about the thorns in his hand.
"Ah, there are snakes." Du Yue saw a gray snake in the nest of the thorn bush that he was about to cut, just now the two of them were too excited, so they didn't know that there was a snake here, looking like this, the snake was going to eat the bird's egg, but at this moment Du Yue was so frightened that the firewood knife was thrown away, and quickly retreated, his face was pale with fright. The snake was also startled, spitting out the snake letter and "hissing" at Du Yue. Du Yue was so afraid that she retreated vigorously, for fear that the snake would rush over and take a bite, if it wasn't poisonous, it would be fine, but if it was poisonous, it would be troublesome.
Yuan Ping took the stick and hit the thorn bush, because through the thorn bush, it was impossible to hit the snake, Yuan Ping didn't expect to really hit the snake, just hoped to scare the snake away, fortunately, the snake should be relatively timid, looking at Yuan Ping's fierce knock on the thorn bush, quickly ran away.
"Sister Yue, it's okay, the snake was chased away by me." Yuan Ping said to Du Yue with a smile.
"Ping'er, you're not afraid of snakes, you're so bold, you dare to go up and fight." When Du Yue saw that the snake was gone, she was not afraid, she walked back and picked up the firewood knife she had just thrown away.
"I used to be afraid when I saw snakes, but then I often followed my brother up the mountain, and I saw my brother fight a few times, and I also watched my brother catch snakes, and I was not afraid after seeing too much."
"Brother Yuanqing can still catch snakes, what does he do when he catches snakes, do you eat them?" Du Yue asked
"No, my brother is caught and sold." Yuan Ping replied.
"I didn't expect Brother Yuanqing to catch snakes and sell them." Du Yue said.
Du Yue was chatting with Yuan Ping, Du Yue took a firewood knife to cut off the thorn bushes in front of the bird's nest, and after cutting the left one, he reached in and took out the bird egg and handed it to Yuan Ping, and then cut off the thorns on the right side and took out the bird egg.
Yuan Ping took the bird eggs handed by Du Yue, and gently put them in the back basket, and put them together with the four he had just picked up.
After the two of them picked up the eggs, they continued to walk forward to see if they could find anything, but unfortunately they didn't find any other eggs along the way.
There are relatively few trees in this mountain, and the sun is more severe at this time, looking at the position of the sun at the moment, it is probably the middle of the day. In fact, Du Yue didn't know how to look at the hour in this way, it was Yuan Ping who told her that she knew the time. Du Yue and the others didn't find any treasures on the mountain except for the eleven bird eggs. It hasn't rained lately, so there are no mushrooms, and these mushrooms only come out after the rain. The sun was already very hot at this time, Du Yue's trouser legs were also dry, and the two planned not to go down anymore, Uncle Liu at noon, they would go home for dinner, and the two were ready to go down the mountain to cook lunch.
After the two decided to go back, they went back the same way. Du Yue wants to go back to find Tang Yichen first, and then he will go back to cook, Uncle Liu and they will stay at home first after they go back to eat at noon, and they may not be able to send lunch to Tang Yichen, Du Yue decided to take a few bird eggs to Tang Yichen to pad his stomach first.
Outside the cave where Tang Yichen was recuperating, Du Yue took off the basket and handed it to Yuan Ping as usual.
"Brother Tang, I'm here." After Du Yue finished speaking, he began to move the stones at the entrance of the cave, and Du Yue moved open the hole and walked in.
"Brother Tang, we may not be able to bring you food at noon, I just picked up some bird eggs, I'll bake them for you to eat first." Du Yue said after entering.
"Well, okay, thank you!" Tang Yichen said.
Yuan Ping had already picked up branches outside and was ready to start a fire.
