Chapter 101: Bird Eggs and Mulberry Fruits

Shen Shuang walked ahead, and after she led the group through a low grove, she soon came to the vicinity of the lake.

The people of Xishan Village avoid the swamp, and no one comes here at all, plus it is the spring when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and everything grows faster, so the grass and trees by the lake are growing very fast, but it has only been a few days, and the path cut out when she and Xiaoshan came over last time has been occupied by reeds again, Shen Shuang had to use a sickle to cut those tender reeds to open the way, and Uncle Mo, who was following behind, also took a dagger to help, and the stone and the hill and Jiang Zitong helped throw away those reeds.

"Hey, what is this? It's so beautiful. ”

Jiang Zitong was helping to throw the reed pole, when she suddenly saw a round grass nest falling, she curiously dropped the reed pole and picked it up, and there were five blue eggs inside.

Shi and Xiaoshan stood behind her, and when they heard the voice, they looked up and saw the bird's nest she was holding, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly jumped over to look, Shi stood on tiptoe and said in surprise, "Sister Jiang, it's a bird's egg, this is a bird's nest, but this is really good-looking." ”

Xiaoshan used to follow Xu to the mountains to chop wood, and he also liked to climb the trees to dig birds' nests, but it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful blue bird's egg, and he was very excited to come forward to see it.

"Is this a bird's nest?" Jiang Zitong has never seen this bird's nest, and he thinks it is quite fresh.

Shen Shuang was cutting the reeds, when he heard the sound, he turned his head to take a look, so he continued to cut again, and soon, a long path was cut out, and several people stood by the reedy lake.

The lake is as it has been before, and there are many flying wild ducks swimming on the surface of the lake, among which there is a group of ducklings that have just hatched and have just been shedding their shells, quacking and swimming in the water with a mother duck with emerald feathers, and there are waterfowl flying around in the sky at this time, and some will fly down on the branches of the reeds, and the scenery looks very beautiful and very peaceful.

Everyone looked at this scene, and they couldn't help but stop their movements and look around, and Jiang Zitong's eyes were on the reeds and the wildflowers blooming by the lake, "Sister Shen, it's so beautiful here, there are so many reeds and so many flowers, I didn't expect the mountains to be so beautiful." ”

Shen Shuang turned his head to look at Jiang Zitong, who was holding the bird's nest tightly, and said with a smile, "There is a hillside here and there are still many peach blossoms, if you are not afraid of climbing the mountain, you can also go and see it." ”

Jiang Zitong raised her delicate eyebrows, "Of course I'm not afraid." ”

"Sister Shen, look, the wild ducks are catching fish to eat, it's amazing."

Shen Shuang raised his eyes and saw a wild duck burying its head in the lake like a head, a pair of duck feet spinning in the air, and it didn't take long to catch a small fish and bite it in its mouth and swallow it.

And the waterfowl standing on the reed branches of the lake with their eyes closed suddenly aim at a point, spread their wings and fly across the water, and when they fly up again, they have already bitten a small fish in their mouths, and everything here reveals a sense of tranquility, as if they were in a paradise.

After looking at the stone for a while, he picked up his slingshot and tried to aim at the waterfowl, but soon found that he did not have the ability to knock them down, so he pulled the hill and squatted by the lake, trying to catch small fish and shrimp.

Shen Shuang saw that the water by the lake was very shallow, although there were a lot of small fish and shrimp, but it was not safe, she hurriedly called the stones and the hill up, and asked them to go into the reeds together to find wild duck eggs.

When he turned to look, Uncle Mo didn't know when he had walked along the reeds by the lake and walked away, while Jiang Zitong was squatting on the side picking wild flowers.

Shen Shuang couldn't help but instruct her, "You be careful with your step, don't fall." ”

Jiang Zitong didn't raise his head, "Sister Shen, I know, I'll weave a wreath for you in a while." ”

Garland? Shen Shuang really didn't have the leisure as her, and she didn't know when she became so uninteresting, but now she hoped to find the wild duck eggs, or find a way to catch the nest of wild ducks that had only hatched for a long time.

She walked along the edge of the lake, and the reeds had already occupied more than half of the lake's embankment, and it was not easy for her to walk.

She didn't go to the other side of the lake when she came last time, and she wanted to try it this time, but before she could walk a hundred meters away, Jiang Zitong shouted excitedly on the other side, "Sister Shen, I found a wild duck egg, come and take a look." ”

Shen Shuang saw that the two of them were not far away, and she didn't feel at ease when she was left alone here, so she could only go back.

Walking up to her, this person did find wild duck eggs, but unfortunately these are the shells of wild duck eggs, and at first glance they are the shells of ducklings that have hatched not long ago, Shen Shuang looked up helplessly, "Miss, what I want is edible wild duck eggs, not this kind of wild duck eggshells." ”

Jiang Zitong smiled and reached out and put the wreath knitted in his hand on her head, "Sister Shen, is it good-looking?" ”

Shen Shuang didn't care about her, and continued to walk forward perfunctorily, while walking, "Good-looking, very good-looking, come with me, let's go to the other side and have a look, I just saw that there are a lot of fruit trees over there, you can pick fruits." ”

Hearing that he could pick wild fruits, Jiang Zitong hurriedly followed, but when he saw the beautiful wildflowers by the lake, he would also squat down and fold them into his hands.

In the reeds, the stones and the hill and the little wolf cub drilled around in it, the two of them were playing a game of hide and seek at the beginning, but the little wolf cub did not cooperate and turned his head to run, the two were afraid of losing it, so they could only run with it, but this run was to find two nests of waterfowl eggs, the size was about the same as the egg, and the color was very good-looking, the two were very happy, and quickly picked it up and put it in their own small back baskets, and continued to follow the little wolf cub who walked slowly and methodically.

The two of them followed the little wolf cub and soon walked to a path in the reeds that obviously had duck footprints, obviously wild ducks often walked this way, and after walking for a long time, they really found a nest of pale blue wild duck eggs.

The stone was very excited and pulled Xiaoshan, "Xiaoshan, duck eggs, we found duck eggs, Baibai is really powerful, I know that it has the ability, it must be able to smell duck eggs." ”

Xiaoshan also nodded happily, he still remembered that the duck eggs he and his sister were looking for last time were also found by them in vain, and at this time, in his eyes, Bai Bai is Xiao Fuxing.

The two boys put aside the basket and squatted down to pick up the duck eggs, who knew that the quacking mother duck suddenly came back, and saw that her child was picked up, so angry that she chased after the stones and the hill and pecked.

The little wolf cub lying lazily on the side heard the sound that the two of them couldn't run, opened their eyes, and before they could react to what was going on, they jumped over and bit the neck of the female duck, but it did not bite off the neck of the female duck, but bit the female duck who was struggling desperately and screaming angrily, and threw it to the stone and the hill, and then looked up at the hill lazily, and the latter hurriedly picked it up.

As for the stone, after reacting, he happily tied the fainted wild duck with reed leaves, and then continued to pick up duck eggs, and then threw the mother duck into the back basket, and the two went out to find Shen Shuang.

Shen Shuang took Jiang Zitong to the other side of the lake, there were no reeds growing here, but some colorful flowers were all over the ground, and the lake on the side looked very pleasing to the eye, but the arrival of the two scared away a group of waterbirds that were originally standing on the shore.

Jiang Zitong, who originally wanted to pick the fruit, saw that the fruit tree was too tall, so he simply gave up and squatted directly to the side to pick wildflowers, Shen Shuang was a little tired, so he found a place to sit down and rest, and at the same time looked at the situation around the lake.

This lake is still quite big, the lake is crystal clear, but I don't know the depth, the lake here is about the mountain stream convergence, but the source is not seen.

Not far behind the shore of the lake where she was now was a towering mountain cliff, and it was probably because of this geographical advantage that no one could come in and discover the lake from here.

Shen Shuang was not idle, she got up and walked around after resting for a while, she found that there were a lot of mulberry trees growing on the side of the cliff, and the mulberries on the trees were ripe, so she beckoned Jiang Zitong to come and pick them together.

"Sister Shen, I haven't eaten this fruit, what is this?"

"Mulberry fruit, you should know about raising silkworm reeling silk, silkworms eat this kind of leaves to grow up, and then spin silk."

"Is this the kind of leaf? I've seen it on the tree, but I haven't matched the real thing, it's sour, it's delicious, I'm going to pick more and bring it back to my seventh brother to taste. ”

Shen Shuang nodded, and kept helping to fill Jiang Zitong's small basket before stopping, and the two of them waited for Xiaoshan and Stone and Uncle Mo while eating mulberry fruits.

Not long after, seeing Xiaoshan and Shishi, the two stunned boys coming in from the reeds, Shen Shuang hurriedly stood up and waved at them, "Shishan, Xiaoshan, come this way along the lake." ”

The surface of the lake looked more than 500 meters as far as the eye could see, but the lake here was open, and there were big trees nearby, so there was an echo, and the two boys soon heard her words and walked along the lake.

Shen Shuang sat on the side and waited for them to come over, thinking about how to get the ducklings swimming in the lake, and he wanted to get a nest of ducklings to raise at home, not only to lay eggs but also to eat duck meat.

But now there are ready-made ducks, but she can't get them, she can see that she can't eat them, no one comes over to such a good blessed land, it's just cheap for her, she can't make good use of it, I'm sorry for herself.

Just as they were melancholy, the stone and the hill had already walked over, and there was still a faint joy on their faces, and the two of them, who usually wanted to run, were walking slowly at this time.

Shen Shuang was a little strange, originally letting them go to find duck eggs was an excuse to get the two of them away from the lake, she didn't think they could find it, now, "You found duck eggs?" ”

Jiang Zitong sat on the stone next to him and ate the sweet and sour mulberry fruit, and also looked at the two people who came over curiously.

The little wolf cub in Xiaoshan's arms jumped down and bounced into Shen Shuang's arms, screaming and screaming, Shen Shuang pulled it down in disgust, and at this time, Shi and Xiaoshan had already put the two back baskets in front of her.
