Chapter 58: Picking as a Trap
Going up the mountain to pick up cone chestnuts and pine nuts, Yu Mingyue, who has memories of her previous life, is very proficient, and in her previous life, she and Yu Mingyan were two of them. When she was nine years old, she would come up from the mountains every year to pick it up, and Yu Mingyue practiced the ultimate skill of climbing trees in those years.
But at this time, Yu Mingyan is different, it is the first time for her to climb the mountain, although she can climb trees on weekdays, but she is not very technical, and she is far from catching up with Yu Mingyue.
At this time, the pine nuts on the pine nuts on the mountain, which are obviously taller than ordinary pine trees, are ripe, but they are not yet ready to fall naturally, so if you want to pick them, you have to climb the trees to pick them.
It is precisely because it is not yet the time to fall naturally, so the pine nuts in the pine cone can be said to be very full, and the large pine nuts with seeds on the pine cone are very gratifying.
Yu Mingyue, who has the ability to climb trees, is on the tree, and today she has to pick pine cones on the bright side, but also borrow space to earn a large number of pine cones and find opportunities to sell a large number of pine nuts.
Even if only the memory is from the previous life, the body has become a lot smaller, but because the body is smaller and lighter, Yu Mingyue, who has mastered the skillful skills of climbing trees, is even more like a fish in water.
Yu Mingyue put the pine cones on the tree into the space of the space, often throwing the pine cones under the tree and throwing them happily, Yu Mingyue picked them up even more happily under the tree: "Xiaoyue, look at me fast, you can't pick it as fast as me." ”
"Wow, Sister Xiaoyan, you're so amazing." Yu Mingyue praised without hesitation, but smiled helplessly in her heart: Sister, I have obviously evolved into a human, but at this time I am hanging on a tree like an ape, can this be compared?
After picking and picking up for a while, Yu Mingyan's helpless and regretful exclamation came again.
"Ahh Satsuki, our basket and the snakeskin bag we brought are full, and there are a lot of piles on the ground, what should I do, it's a pity. ”
This exclamation almost didn't startle Yu Mingyue off the tree.
Looking down at the pine cones piled on the ground, Yu Mingyue was angry.
God, my cousin has too few tendons, it's okay to say it earlier, while collecting pine cones into the space, I also laboriously pretended to throw so many on the ground, wouldn't it be useless to do it?
"If you don't pick it up, I'll come down." After climbing a few trees, Yu Mingyue was really tired.
After all, her space is only effective within 3 meters, and the pine nut tree with fruit pine cones is much higher than 3 meters, and she has to climb the tree to collect pine cones into the space.
And she knew that there were already two thousand catties of fresh pine nuts piled up in the space, even if the wet pine nuts were beaten, there should be two or three hundred catties.
After getting off the tree, looking at the pine cones full of a small basket and a large snakeskin bag with water, Yu Mingyue was a little troubled.
With the body of one of their sisters who is more than six years old and one is more than five years old, it is completely impossible to bring these pine cones that weigh more than 20 catties or 60 or 70 catties down the mountain.
"Sister Xiaoyan, you knock out the pine nuts with stones here, and I'll pick some cone chestnuts and come back." Yu Mingyue made arrangements directly.
"Cone chestnut? Far away? Yu Mingyan has always been timid, and looked around a little uneasily, wanting to see how far away Yu Mingyue would go.
Yu Mingyue saw her cousin's worry at a glance, and chuckled and pointed to a distance of ten meters: "Look, it's that big tree, I'm on that tree, as soon as you call me, I hear it." ”
After coaxing her cousin, Yu Mingyue went to the cone chestnut tree.
There have been a lot of ripe cone chestnut fruits under the tree, Yu Mingyue only walked around the tree, and the cone chestnut fruit under the tree has disappeared, and the multiplication is just the bad fruit and rotten fruit that she threw out of the space.
Climbing the tree as usual and using the function of space, within three meters of Yu Mingyue's place, the fruitful branches of the cone chestnut tree instantly became empty, as if they had never borne fruit at all this year.
After climbing a few trees near Yu Mingyan in a row, looking at the more than 700 catties of fresh cone chestnut fruits stacked in the space, Yu Mingyue was satisfied.
When she returned to the place where the pine cones were piled up, Yu Mingyan had not knocked out a tenth of the pine nuts, after all, most of the fresh pine nuts were still wet, and the pine nuts were really not easy to knock out.
Yu Mingyue, who knew this, asked her cousin to knock pine nuts here, just to stumble her cousin over this matter, and then she had to use the space to harvest cone chestnuts with confidence.
"Sister Xiaoyan, you knock some more, I'll go to the side to pick some cone chestnut fruits, and we'll divide the money equally when we sell it."
Yu Mingyue was going to dig a trap and set up a trap, but she didn't plan to let Yu Mingyan know about this matter, and when she really caught a rabbit and pheasant, she directly said that it was a bargain in someone else's trap.
After all, she is only a five-year-old child, and she can dig traps and make traps to catch wild things, which makes people sound too weird.
While digging the soil pit with the small hoe, and answering Yu Mingyan's shout not far away from time to time, Yu Mingyue spent a lot of effort, but only dug a small pit that was less than the crook of her feet, and Yu Mingyue suddenly realized how stupid she was.
"Dizzy, don't even think about digging successfully when it's dark, I'm so stupid, the space should be able to dig a pit."
Thinking that the space could contain inanimate things, Yu Mingyue wanted to try to use the space to collect the soil, and then throw the soil out of the space, so as to achieve the effect of digging a pit quickly.
With an idea, just as Yu Mingyue's mind moved, a dirt pit that she was most satisfied with in her imagination appeared.
"Hey, hey." Yu Mingyue grinned excitedly, and quickly began to fold branches and hay, and began to lay her first trap.
There was still tender corn in the space, Yu Mingyue did not hesitate to take out a fresh corn, tore off the shell and put it in the trap, only to cover the branches on the soil pit more than 1 meter deep and more than a meter wide, and carefully cover it with hay as a camouflage.
There is corn at the bottom of the pit, and the rabbit's nose is also considered to be a spirit, as long as you pass by this area, you will definitely smell it.
After making six traps in a row in nearby places where no one was likely to walk, Yu Mingyue used the techniques she learned from the old hunter to make seven or eight sets of pheasant locks using twig ropes.
I wanted to do more, but when I looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, Yu Mingyue was shocked, and she was busy carrying a hoe and a small half bag of cone chestnuts, and walked towards Yu Mingyan, who was knocking pine nuts vigorously.
"Sister Xiaoyan, we won't knock today, these pine cones will be left here first, and the pine nuts will come out after a few days of drying, and it will be more convenient for us to pick up pine nuts then."
Yu Mingyue began to lie to her cousin again, if this pine cone really stayed here, it was unlikely that someone would pick it up, and it was not only possible for the squirrels in the mountains to pick it up on the ground, but a large number of mice and some rodents in the mountains and forests who could not climb trees would be happy.
Yu Mingyan, an honest child with no experience, completely believed it, and was happy for the "good idea" that her cousin came up with: "Well, it's so tiring to knock out, my hands are blistering." ”
Looking at her cousin's not delicate right hand, five fingertips and four fingers were bulging with blood blisters, Yu Mingyue suddenly fell from the clouds of joy, and felt guilty in her heart.
Pulling Yu Mingyan's hand and blowing gently, Yu Mingyue's eyes were very sour: "It's very painful, I'll buy you medicine tomorrow when I go to the city and come back to wipe it." ”
"Hehe, it's only a little bit of pain, but I'm the least afraid of pain." Yu Mingyan frowned lightly in pain, but her mouth was stubborn, and when she withdrew her hand, Yu Mingyan asked a little shyly: "Xiaoyue, can I go into the city with you again tomorrow, I really want to go into the city and buy my dad a birthday cake that you said." ”
"Birthday cake?" In an instant, Yu Mingyue thought that August 16 was the birthday of her uncle Yu Zhizong, and immediately nodded: "Well, I'll tell my grandfather when I go back today, and he will agree." ”
I am afraid that the birthday cake will not be sold now, but my cousin wants to buy a gift for my uncle, but it is commendable for her filial piety.
After getting Yu Mingyue's affirmative reply, Yu Mingyan happily began to reap the fruits of today's harvest.
Yu Mingyue wouldn't really keep these pine cone cheap mice, walked not far away, found an excuse to return to the pine cone pile, and in an instant, she put dozens of catties of pine cones that they "abandoned" into the space, and then chased after her, and hurried home with her cousin.
The two walked all the way, and picked up more than a pound of several wild mushrooms on the side of the road home, seeing that the time was not early, the two of them did not try to pick up the wild mushrooms on the side of the road cheaply, so they hurried back to hurry.
The two sisters were happy on their trip to the mountain, but they made a few adults at home anxious.
When Yu Mingyue and the others just walked to the river, they met Kong Xiaoyu, Kong Mingfu, and Yu Tianxiang, who also rushed to the river.
Looking at the three adults with anxious faces, Yu Mingyue's heart was full of guilt. Just now on the mountain, seeing that it was not early, guessing that the time was already past twelve o'clock, she took Yu Mingyan and hurried back, but she still came back late.
"Satsuki, don't come here yet." Seeing her daughter's regretful and pitiful look, Kong Xiaoyu, who was in a hurry just now, couldn't bear to scold, but the anger in her heart was still uneasy.
Yu Tian, who had bad legs and feet left behind, stepped forward a few steps: "Okay, okay, it's good for them to come back well, just now I was most worried that they went to the deep pool in the river to play, and going up the mountain is not a big deal." ”
Yu Mingyue went up the mountain alone, and she was often taken up by Yu Zhiqing, Kong Xinggang and others to pick up fungi on the mountain for a while, but she and Yu Mingyan were not allowed to go up the mountain alone.
As he spoke, the two parties had come together.
Sweeping his eyes, he saw a little wild mushroom in Yu Mingyan's small back basket, and something that couldn't be seen in the snakeskin bag in Yu Mingyue's hand, and the three adults only thought that they were picking up mushrooms on a hill not far away.
"Xiaoyue, next time you can't just go up the mountain by yourself, the wild boars on the mountain are going to bite." Kong Mingfu looked at his granddaughter's sweaty forehead and red face because of tiredness, and he was very distressed.
Seeing her grandfather reaching out to pick up the snakeskin bag containing chestnuts and pine nuts in his hand, Yu Mingyue was afraid of the fact that she was found to have gone up the distant mountain, but she still had to hand it over.
"Write it down, grandpa, don't dare next time, we just went to the top of the mushroom mountain today and picked up some of these wild fruits, so we came back late." Because he was found out and scolded afterwards, it is better to confess honestly.
Wild fruits? In this season, there are only three wild fruits on the mountain: cone chestnut, wild persimmon and pine nut, and the three adults present know this.
"You kid, how dare you run so far." When Kong Xiaoyu was shocked, she was so angry that she pulled Yu Mingyue with her left hand, and hit Yu Mingyue on her ass with her right hand. R1152
