Chapter 16 Picking up wild eggs

Zhuzi's face turned pale, and he threw the chrysanthemum out.

He was so frightened that he fell to the ground and kept crawling back. As he crawled, he shouted miserably: "There is a snake! Back! Back! Back!"

His voice scared Daya and the others quite a bit.

Ye Ning had specifically told them before that snakes are very poisonous, so if you encounter one, don't mess with it and run away quickly.

Da Ya looked panicked, and did not forget to grab Er Ya and Cheng Miaomiao when running back. The little cubs quickly retreated to a place they thought was safe, and stuck their heads out to look there, but saw nothing.

Zhuzi still looked like he was still in a daze.

Mao Dan helped him up from the ground and asked strangely: "Brother, what kind of snake did you see?"

Zhuzi's legs were weak, and he stood holding on to the tree trunk for a long time before he recovered. His head was dazed, and he swallowed and subconsciously replied: "A...yellow snake, and it also has two pairs of legs."

Maodan scratched his head: "Hey, isn't that just a four-legged snake? There's nothing to be afraid of."

Goudan clapped his hands: "Four-legged snake! Don't be afraid!"

Hearing what he said, Da Ya suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She was so scared just now that she thought she really encountered a venomous snake.

Cheng Miaomiao put her hands behind her back and waved, and the light yellow little fat crawled into the small backpack along her trousers and hid in a pile of chrysanthemums. Only her black beady eyes were exposed, and she groaned dissatisfied in the spiritual link.

Twice.

It's not some four-legged snake, it's an ignorant brat!

Cheng Miaomiao comforted it with a few words.

He looked at Da Ya, held her hand and reminded: "Sister, the chrysanthemums we picked are still there."

Zhuzhu was so frightened just now that they just ran away without paying any attention to the chrysanthemums they had picked and put away.

If you don't pick it up, your work today will be in vain.

But... Da Ya looked very hesitant and said: "But there is a snake ahead. Isn't it good for us to go there now, what if it doesn't leave?"

Maodan volunteered: "Sister, I'll go!"

Cheng Miaomiao shook Daya's arm, looked at her with those watery eyes, and said coquettishly: "Sister, let's go over. I think nothing will happen, okay?"

After her pleading, Daya finally agreed.

However, the pillars were beaten to death and they were unwilling to go over, so they picked up a stick and walked over, banging on it, put all the chrysanthemums into the small baskets in several trips, and then left relieved.

A few little pods walked back slowly.

Cheng Miaomiao was jumping up and down, looking very happy. From time to time, she would look at the pillar with a look like "You look so useless", and would also praise Maodan and the others in fancy ways.

Every time, he waited until Zhuzi became angry and looked back.

Da Ya said: "San Ya, why don't you let me carry it instead?" There were so many strange things that she felt bad about having to carry them alone.

Cheng Miaomiao smiled with her eyes bent: "No need, sister, I can carry it."

They were walking on the road, and as they were walking, they heard a faint chirping sound coming from the grass next to them. The sound sounded like the cry of a chicken.

Could it be...a pheasant cub??

Several people stopped immediately.

Cheng Miaomiao's eyes brightened slightly, and she raised her finger to make a shushing gesture towards them. She walked lightly to the grass over there, reached out and fiddled with the grass, and a group of yellow chicks ran away in all directions as if frightened.

"It's really chicken!"

Da Ya shouted in shock.

Maodan couldn't bear his temper the most. He immediately jumped forward and shouted: "Chicken, don't run away! I'm going to take you home and eat you!"

But Zhu Zhu was so frightened that he took a few steps back. He was scared when he saw yellow things now.

But it's a pity that the chickens ran too fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Maodan walked back regretfully and said dejectedly: "I didn't catch them. They ran faster than me."

The tone sounded a little aggrieved.

At this time, Cheng Miaomiao held two oval-shaped white eggs in his hands and showed them to him, and said in surprise: "It's okay, second brother, but we have eggs to eat now!"

There was a hollow in the grass about the size of a washbasin.

Inside were a dozen round and shiny white eggs.

Cheng Miaomiao sensed that there were no chicks in these eggs, they were clean and edible!

Erya whispered: "Let's put the eggs in the basket."

"Second sister is right!"

Cheng Miaomiao nodded vigorously, looked at Erya and laughed.

When I was about to open the backpack, I remembered that the little fat baby seemed to be still inside. With a thought, I took the sleeping little yellow snake back into the picture book and carefully put the eggs into the backpack.

But since then, the backpack has become too heavy.

Zhuzi, who finally reacted, rolled his eyes when he saw this, snatched the backpack from her hand, and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it! Sanya, you're too young to carry it, so I'll carry it just right!"

Cheng Miaomiao said happily: "Okay then."

Ever since I encountered a nest of wild eggs, I had to poke them with a stick when passing through the grass. I might encounter such a good thing again, but I don’t know if it’s just bad luck. Then I won’t even get a wild egg.

Haven't seen any.

They returned to where they came from in the first place and sat on the big rocks to rest.

Not long after, when the sun was hot enough to scorch people, Ye Ning came back with a large backpack on his back. When he saw that there were no children missing, he felt relieved and woke up the drowsy children to go down the mountain.

"Mom, we found a nest of eggs today!"

Cheng Miaomiao was chattering to her about today's harvest, and his tone was a little pity when he mentioned the group of chickens that had escaped.

If sister, brother and the others were not here, she could have caught them!

When the time comes, let the chicks grow into bigger chickens, then lay eggs, and then hatch the chicks, then your family will have a steady supply of eggs.

Ye Ning was a little surprised, but having pheasants on the mountain was not a big deal.

The weather has not been so hot these days. Every time I walk back to the village, I meet many women and villagers returning home from the fields for dinner. Someone asked with a smile: "Erlang's wife went up the mountain again today."

Already?"

"You are so diligent. You go to the mountains so early every day. You can't even finish the food you dig, right?"

"Hey, Zhuzhu is also going with us today!"

Ye Ning smiled and said nothing.

After walking for a while, they accidentally met the village chief. The village chief looked younger than Mr. Cheng and was holding a piece of tofu in his hand. When he saw them, he smiled and asked: "Erlang's wife, Sanya's head injury is healed."

how's it going?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Cheng Miaomiao's head.

Cheng Miaomiao raised her head and looked at him curiously. Ye Ning introduced with a smile: "This is the village chief. Miaomiao wants to call the village chief uncle."

"Uncle the village chief."

"Hey, Sanya is so good."

The smile on Ye Ning's face was more genuine than before, and she said, "It's almost healed. Thank you to the village chief for your concern."

The two chatted for a few more words, and after the village chief left, Cheng Miaomiao tugged Grandma's hand, raised her face, and asked with eager eyes: "Grandma, Grandma, what is the uncle of the village chief carrying in his hand?

?Can it be eaten?”

"That's tofu, it's delicious."

"Then can I also have a piece of tofu? I have money!"

Cheng Miaomiao is wealthy and generous.
