Chapter 12: The Search

Looking at the sky, it was about three o'clock now, when the sun was high. Hurry up and find out!

This mountain really lives up to her expectations! Thinking like this, she immediately started to act, because Ye Xuanxuan found an edible sweet potato. A person has no tools, so Ye Xuanxuan called Ye Erya and Ye Bao'er to help dig together.

Sweet potatoes are a lot of vines, and they are difficult to harvest. If this is directly used with a machine or a hoe in modern times, the poor three guys can only use their hands. Although I don't know what the eldest sister asked them to dig, I thought that the sky was still digging hard. The three of them were busy for a long time to pack up the sweet potatoes, tired and panting, ready to sit down and rest. Ye Erya, who was sitting on the edge of a sweet potato vine at random, asked her suspiciously: "What is the eldest sister digging these for?" I also have it in the field at home! Ye Xuanxuan looked at Ye Erya and Ye Bao'er and smiled: "We packed these up, found a place to hide them, and didn't take them home." Later, when you are hungry, come out and eat sweet potatoes. ”

In fact, Ye Xuanxuan really didn't want to bother to clean up the sweet potato, but she also knew that there was no food for the three of them if there were Lu and Ye Jinzai at home. Since she found out about this, of course she has to stay.

Ye Bao'er's eyes lit up when she heard what Ye Xuanxuan said, and she could eat sweet potatoes when she was hungry. After all, none of them had eaten enough in that family, at least since their father married that Lu family. For this decision, Ye Baoer absolutely supported Ye Xuanxuan, nodded vigorously, and took the initiative to find a place where sweet potatoes could be hidden. Ye Xuanxuan stopped it.

If this one hides outside the mountain or digs its own pit, it will be harmed by wild boars or other animals. I'll have to look elsewhere.

"Sister, I know where to hide." Ye Erya, who had not spoken just now, spoke.

Ye Xuanxuan looked puzzled, and hurriedly reminded her: "Then let's go quickly, and we can pack up all these as soon as possible and go home." After speaking, he took the basket of wild vegetables picked by Ye Erya, poured out the wild vegetables and began to pack sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are easy to put away, so I don't have to worry about them going bad so soon, and the weather is cool now. Ye Bao'er helped remove the soil from the sweet potatoes.

Packed a basket full, Ye Erya carried it and left alone. I didn't see that this sister is still a strong man! Although it is a small basket of sweet potatoes, it is also quite heavy. Ye Xuanxuan forgot that this was in the ancient countryside, and those were all children who were used to doing farm work.

followed Ye Erya along the mountain for a few minutes, and stopped at the side of the mountain, which was only about two meters away from the mountain pass. There was a mess of rocks, close to Qixian Mountain.

Although she was puzzled about where Ye Erya brought them to, Ye Xuanxuan didn't ask anything with her trust.

I saw Ye Erya stretch out his hand and began to pull apart the branches in front of him little by little, put down the basket and looked at the rocks. After a few seconds, he began to move the stones, and after removing several pieces of gravel in front of him, he entered a whole stone slab, which was not very smooth, but it was just enough to block the opening.

Ye Xuanxuan and Ye Bao'er understood when they looked at this, and they also went over to help, and a few people used their strength to move the slate away.

Since the place blocked by the stone slab is a big stone cave, it doesn't look like a natural formation, Ye Xuanxuan is a little puzzled and hesitant. I don't know if that cave is safe, whether someone has been here a long time ago or someone else's!

Looking at Ye Erya with this question, he was about to say, Ye Erya just poured the sweet potato into it and said casually: "This cave was brought to me by my mother before, and no one will find out." My mother once said that only she knew about this hole. After saying that, he walked back to fill the sweet potatoes with the basket.

Although I was confused by this answer, it would be better since no one knew about this cave.

This stone cave is not small, at least two meters high, and the area inside is forty or fifty square meters. It is equivalent to a small stone house, which can put a lot of things, and the stones on the ground are very flat, as if someone else has specially arranged it.

And standing at the entrance of the cave, you can feel the slightest wind coming out from all around, but looking at this stone cave, it is only a few tens of square meters, and there is no exit and damage!

I don't know where the wind comes from in the cave, but as long as it doesn't leak, it happens.

It took several back-and-forth for the three sisters and brothers of the Ye family to move completely. Ye Bao'er also found a small amount of larger leaves nearby to help transport some. In the end, she couldn't screw Ye Xuanxuan, so she had to put the mushrooms she wanted.

The dug up sweet potatoes only occupy less than a tenth of the house, but the quantity is quite large. It's hard for a few of them to work so hard, and they are very satisfied with these receipts.

The three of them worked together to restore the slabs to their original shapes, and Ye Erya began to fiddle with the stones one by one until the stones returned to the way they were when they came.

Ye Xuanxuan looked at Ye Erya like this and had to give her a thumbs up, her sister was able to restore things to the way they saw them in one fell swoop. I don't know if it's because I've been here before or if it's something else. However, this is enough to see that Ye Erya is also very smart. Watching her movements, Ye Xuanxuan also began to remember the placement and location of those stones in her mind.

After doing this, the sun has already reached the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the entire Qixian Mountain, like a golden veil surrounding it, and the scenery is dazzling.

It looks like it's getting late.

Ye Erya hurriedly packed the wild vegetables she had picked before and picked up the basket. "Eldest sister, Bao'er, let's go back quickly! I'm going back to make dinner," after speaking, he reached out to support Ye Xuanxuan's arm. Ye Baoer also obediently held the other side. Ye Xuanxuan looked at them and followed them like this, so it would be faster to go back.

Although the harvest was not big this time, there were some sweet potatoes and mushrooms that were hidden together, but Ye Xuanxuan was also very satisfied. She believed that when she found another opportunity, she would find other plants.

The slanting sunset stretched the figures of the three homecoming children very long...

When he went back, he found that Lu Shi and Ye Jin were not in the house. This made Ye Erya, who had always been worried, breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that her mother and the second brother should have not come back yet!

He breathed a sigh of relief, then added some water to the pot, lit the firewood and then washed the rice in the pot. turned around and saw Ye Xuanxuan sitting on a small stool by the kitchen door picking vegetables, and Ye Baoer was also helping. I don't care about it, and I burn the fire with peace of mind.

Ye Xuanxuan picked the vegetables, scooped up the water in the water tank and began to wash, Ye Baoer was not idle, and went straight to the kitchen to help Ye Erya light the fire.
