Chapter 138: Autumn Tour
It's already October, it's time to pick the fruits on the mountain, and Xiaohe Village is busy again. Yan Yan still made most of the fruit into jam and fruit wine.
"Shaojie, send some to Xu Yan! I haven't seen this kid for a long time, I don't know what he's doing? Yang put some fruits into a bamboo basket and brought a small jar of fresh jam for Yan Shaojie to deliver.
"Brother, I want to go too!" Yan Yan really hasn't seen Xu Yan for a long time, it seems that since the last time he asked Uncle Niu to inquire about fish and shrimp, he hasn't seen Xu Yan come down the mountain, and the prey is all helped by his brother and father, so he doesn't know what he's busy with.
"Be careful," Yang didn't stop it, probably because of the trip to Suzhou, which made Yang feel that Xu Yan was a reassuring person, in short, Yan Yan and Yan Shaojie went up the mountain to find Xu Yan.
"Xu Yan!" Yan Yan shouted outside the fence, and soon Xu Yan came out and was a little surprised to see Yan Yan.
"Why are you here?" Xu Yan brought people into the house.
"The fruit I just picked, give you a taste, and the fresh fruit jam, the fruit wine is not good yet, so I'll send it to you when the time comes," Yan Shaojie gave the things to Xu Yan.
"It's autumn, so soon," Xu Yan sighed, "I've been here for a year, it's so fast!" ”
"Yes, time is so fast," Yan Yan suddenly thought that he had been here for almost four years, and time had passed so fast!
"What are you two doing? It seems that autumn is really easy to make people sad, no wonder it will be said that it is sad and sad! Yan Shaojie also took a handful of crepes.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. Let's go out for a walk, I haven't walked around the mountains in a long time, Xu Yan. Take me to play! Yan Yan wanted to go around and pulled Xu Yan and Yan Shaojie together.
Yan Shaojie was carrying the bamboo basket that had just been filled with fruit, and Xu Yan had prepared hunting tools, in case he encountered prey, he would definitely not let go, the three of them had never hunted together, and they were all a little excited at this time.
"It's been a long time since I've hunted, and it feels so good in the mountains!" Yan Yan likes the mountains here. It was very quiet, it was rare for someone to accompany him out, Yan Yan walked in front excitedly.
"Walk alone in the mountains at night. That's what it feels like! Xu Yan said with a smile.
"Xu Yan!" Yan Yan crossed his waist and shouted, who will walk around the mountain at night? Hell!
"Hehe," Xu Yan and Yan Shaojie made fun of Yan Yan mercilessly, and Yan Yan turned his head angrily and walked forward. Ignore these two bad guys.
Yan Yan enjoyed the feeling of the autumn breeze blowing through the mountains and forests. The cool autumn breeze swept away the summer heat, Yan Yan walked forward with a smile, just in time to see the squirrels stealing food from the trees, and liked this kind of small animal in his heart.
Suddenly, Yan Yan didn't dare to move, because she saw something black, and she carefully moved slowly forward. Xu Yan and Yan Shaojie happened to come over, and Yan Yan motioned for them to keep quiet. The three of them walked cautiously forward. When he got closer, Yan Yan found that it was a pangolin basking in the sun.
Seeing its lazy appearance, Yan Yan couldn't help but play a prank, "Shame, shame, shame," Yan Yan gestured with his finger to his face, and kept saying "Shame, shame." Sure enough, the pangolin immediately curled up in a ball, burying its head in its belly, and its tail tightly wrapped around its head like a ball.
"Haha! It's funny! Yan Yan couldn't help laughing, this method was told to her by Yan Yan's grandmother in her previous life, because her grandmother often played like this when she was a child, Yan Yan thought it was funny, so she remembered this method, but she didn't expect to be able to play it by herself today.
"I didn't expect pangolins to be so shy!" Yan Shaojie said with a smile.
"It's the first time I've seen this method, do you want it?" Xu Yan asked Yan Yan.
"Don't! I don't want to hurt it, it's stupid enough, I'll let it live," Yan Yan said. The pangolin is an endangered animal, and they don't need it, so it's better not to hurt it.
"Okay, then let's go, or it will have to suffocate itself!" Xu Yan said with a smile.
"Hehe, yes, let's go!" Yan Yan watched the pangolin roll into a ball, and he was really afraid that it wouldn't be able to breathe. The group continued to walk forward, and it was difficult to get out, and the three of them were extremely interested.
Yan Shaojie and Xu Yan were thinking about hunting, Yan Yan just wanted to see if there were any delicious fruits, after all, there were all those kinds of fruits here, there were too few, and for a fruit controller like Yan Yan, it was really not enough to be addicted.
"Sister, are you looking for something?" Yan Shaojie found that Yan Yan was looking around, as if he was looking for something.
"I want to see if there are any wild fruits to pick," Yan Yan's eyes rolled slightly.
"Isn't there a lot of fruit in the house? I picked it back, and it was the time to eat it," Yan Shaojie couldn't understand Yan Yan's thoughts.
"I eat these kinds of fruits every year, it's rare to go up the mountain, I want to pick some wild fruits and taste them, brother, you don't care about me, I'm just playing!" Yan Yan knew that wild fruits were not just picked, they had to be recognized, so he didn't force them.
"A few days ago, I picked a little wild fruit, just in front, I don't know what kind of fruit it is, but many small animals will pick it up and eat, I think it should be non-poisonous, so I picked it and tasted it," Xu Yan led the way in front, "sweet and sour, it's good!" ”
"It's the tree!" Xu Yan pointed to a tree in front of him and said, the tree is not particularly tall, the branches are not too many and not too much, there are small squirrels and birds eating fruit. The fruit is not big, it grows together in bunches, black and purple, Yan Yan doesn't know it, I think this should be a wild fruit.
"Come, taste it," Xu Yan reached out to a branch and picked a bunch for Yan Yan to eat.
Yan Yan picked the thumb-sized fruit and wiped it clean with his clothes before eating. Yan Yan was shocked, because the taste of this fruit was the taste of grapes, but this was definitely not grapes, because this was a tree and not a vine.
Yan Yan likes to eat grapes, whether this is a grape or not, the taste is almost the same, and it would be good if he could plant one. Yan Yan spit out the seeds, asked Xu Yan and Yan Shaojie to pick more, and went back to leave the seeds to see if they could grow a small sapling.
Yan Shaojie and Xu Yan put the wild fruits into the bamboo basket, but fortunately Yan Shaojie carried the bamboo basket, otherwise there would be nothing to put at this time. The three of them were picking fruit, but the little animals on the tree stood on the top of the tree and ate and watched, not afraid at all. Yan Yan wanted to catch them at this time, they didn't know if they would regret it?
picked the fruit, and then Xu Yan hit a pheasant and a hare, which was a "autumn outing that just left" and gained a lot. (To be continued......)
PS: Pangolins are specialized species, with a basic degraded vision and a keen sense of smell. When it encounters an enemy or is frightened, it curls up into a ball.
This method is indeed said by Little Echo's family, who played pangolins like this when they were young.
Pangolins are very docile animals, and Little Echo loves them!
