Chapter 25 Mao Lizi
Looking at the half steamed bun handed over by Ouyang Mingli, Ouyang Feiluo opened his big eyes and shook his head without taking it.
Then she raised her other hand holding the steamed bun, opened her mouth and said silently: "Brother, eat it, I have some here."
Seeing that Ouyang Feiluo did have a steamed bun in his hand, Ouyang Mingli turned around and handed half of the bun to his second brother Ouyang Mingxu next to him.
Looking at her younger brother's actions, Ouyang Feiluo realized that her second brother was also hungry and was not asleep.
With a turn of his eyes, Ouyang Feiluo called softly: "Is Big Brother asleep?"
Even though he pricked up his ears, he couldn't hear the voice of his elder brother Ouyang Minglou. After thinking about it, Ouyang Feiluo decided to take the steamed buns out of the space.
The system's products are indeed unique.
The white flour buns that Ouyang Feiluo bought in the system mall were as big as an adult's palm. There were ten people in their two rooms, big and small. Ouyang Feiluo took a total of five buns, broke them in half, and passed half a bun to each person.
So, with Ouyang Feiluo's help, everyone from the second and third branches of the Ouyang family ate half a white flour bun, and their hungry stomachs felt a little better.
With food in their stomachs, they fell asleep quickly.
As for the eldest wife and her adoptive grandparents on the other side, they were not among the people Ouyang Feiluo needed to help.
As the sky turned pale, Meng Yi's loud shouts rang in their ears.
"Hurry up and get going right away. Set off early while the weather is cool so you can walk farther and take a break at noon."
I have to say that Meng Yi is a pretty good person. He can take a break at noon and walk a little earlier in the morning.
Breakfast was still a piece of cold and hard pancake per person.
Looking at the cold and hard pancakes in their hands, they ate them silently with their hands.
In fact, you don’t have to eat it, provided that you have other food to eat or you are not afraid of going hungry. Otherwise, it is best to eat it obediently.
As usual, Ouyang Minglou held his younger sister Ouyang Feiluo in his arms and walked in front with several younger brothers and sisters.
Ouyang Feiluo, who was being held in the arms, took out a piece of cake from the small bag tied to her by her mother, and then tore it with her little hands, and began to feed the baby.
Before setting off, Xu told them to pick up any branches or other things they saw along the way, and at noon, to get some water and boil the cold and hard cakes into a paste for everyone to drink.
So, after setting off, everyone from Ouyang's second and third branches picked up any branches and sticks they saw on the road, preparing to use them as firewood during their lunch break.
In this way, I kept walking on the road, picking up this and that, and time passed quickly.
Before I knew it, it was noon.
When the group came to a forest to rest, Ouyang Minglou and his companions' eyes lit up, and they thought of looking in the woods to see if there was anything edible.
Ouyang Minglou talked to her mother Xu about this, and Xu nodded in agreement. However, Ouyang Minglou had to be responsible for looking after their only two mattresses, so she took Ouyang Mingxu and his two siblings into the woods to look for food.
Ouyang Minglou saw his mother stuff a dozen pancakes wrapped in clothes into her arms, nodded, and then took the pot to fetch water from the nearby river.
Xu, carrying her daughter in a basket on her back, walked into the woods with her second and third sons.
The mother and her two children walked and stopped in the forest, searching...
Suddenly, Ouyang Feiluo, who was being held by Xu, pointed to the distance and shouted, "Mom, there are chestnut trees over there. We can eat chestnuts."
Hearing the word "chestnut", before Xu could speak, Ouyang Mingli asked, "Is it hairy chestnut?"
"Yeah, bro, hurry over and see if there are two."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Mingli rushed out, followed closely by Ouyang Mingxu.
Listening to the third son and his daughter talking about chestnuts, Xu quickened her pace and ran forward.
After a while, the mother and her two children came under two chestnut trees. Looking at the small thorny balls on the trees, the mother and her two children were happy.
I searched around but couldn't find any long pole or stick.
After a final decision, the brothers Ouyang Mingxu and Ouyang Mingli jumped directly onto the chestnut tree and began to shake the branches laden with hairy chestnuts.
The next second, a rain of hairy chestnuts began to fall under the tree.
Ouyang Feiluo took this opportunity to stare at the hairy chestnuts on the ground. Then, with a thought, one hairy chestnut after another quietly entered her system space.
Seeing that there were more and more chestnuts on the ground, Xu called Ouyang Mingxu to a halt and said, "Xu'er, go back quickly and tell the others to come and pick up the chestnuts."
"Okay, Mom."
After hearing Xu's instructions, Ouyang Mingxu came down from the tree no matter how reluctant he was, and walked back quickly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu asked her daughter to quickly collect more, and she also flew up the tree and quickly shook the branches full of hairy chestnuts.
Soon, a group of people came over.
They must have heard that they had found Mao Lizi, so they only left a few people waiting there while everyone else came over.
Even Jiang from the first wife came running with her two sons and carrying a bundle of clothes.
Watching a group of people rushing over, little Philo said in his heart: Fortunately, I collected a lot, otherwise, with my small body, I would probably only be able to grab two.
When the group arrived under the chestnut tree, they saw chestnuts all over the ground. Xu's mother and two of her children were picking up chestnuts one by one and putting them into their backpacks. They didn't say anything and moved quickly, fearing that they would be slower than others and pick up one less chestnut.
Seeing that Ouyang Mingxu had arrived with Mingtao and Feishi, Ouyang Mingli took Ouyang Feiluo and started searching in the woods again.
As the brother and sister were walking, Ouyang Mingli suddenly said, "Little sister, don't leave here. I saw a bird's nest and I'm going to take it out."
"Brother Bird's Nest, where is the bird's nest?"
Listening to his little sister's cheerful voice, Ouyang Mingli pointed to the two trees in front, then took little Philo's hand and walked forward a few steps, then let go and quickly climbed up the tree.
Following Ouyang Feiluo's excitement, Ouyang Mingli, after making sure there was no bird in the nest, gently poked his head out and saw five white bird eggs lying quietly inside.
Ouyang Mingli thought about the eggs and took three of them, leaving two for the mother bird.
After succeeding, Ouyang Mingli quickly flew down from the tree, but was caught by Ouyang Mingxu who was walking over.
Then, Ouyang Mingxu glared at him and said, "Why are you climbing up the tree instead of watching over my little sister? Be careful, if mom finds out, she'll beat you up."
When Ouyang Feiluo heard that his mother was going to beat his brother, he started to protect his brother.
"Brother, I asked you to climb the tree. There's a bird's nest on it." He turned to look at Ouyang Mingli and asked, "Brother, tell me if there are any bird eggs. Come on, tell me..."
"Bird's Nest There is a bird's nest in this wood."
"Little one, are there any bird eggs?"
"Of course. Second brother and little sister, look what this is."
The brother and sister looked together and saw three bird eggs in Ouyang Mingli's hand.
Then, the three siblings continued walking in the forest, looking around...
With Ouyang Mingxu around, the task of climbing the tree was contracted to Ouyang Mingxu.
When the three siblings found a mushroom field, the chestnut pickers had finished their work, and Xu, along with the twins, began searching for Ouyang Mingxu and the other two...
