Inside the carriage, Pei Ji still wore a tense expression, looking somewhat sullen.

Mao Mao and Da Shu were sitting facing each other. They looked at each other and both felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little strange, but they couldn't figure out why.

Before Shi Tou arrived, he had already learned from A Mei that Pei Ji had injured his leg while riding a horse. Seeing him looking listless, he wanted to cheer him up, so he deliberately asked Mao Mao loudly, "Mao Mao, what kind of fruit are we going to pick later?"

Seeing that someone had finally spoken, Mao Mao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "These past few days, some persimmons and dates have ripened. The ripe persimmons are big and red, and they taste delicious and are very sweet."

Da Shu added, "Jujubes are delicious too. Ripe jujubes are red, crisp, and sweet."

When Shi Tou was in his village, he and his friends would go up the mountain to find food and they saw wild persimmon trees, but the taste wasn't very good, and even they didn't like them.

The main problem is that the wild persimmon trees in the mountains grow in remote areas. By the time they find them, the ripe persimmons have either been eaten by birds or have fallen and rotted. The ones left on the trees are green and taste astringent, so they are unwilling to bother picking them.

Stone asked in confusion, "Don't the birds eat the persimmons here when they're ripe?"

When this topic comes up, Mao Mao becomes much more relaxed, displaying an expression that is both disgusted and a little smug. "Yes, of course there are. Birds love to gnaw on ripe fruit. But when the fruit is almost ripe, Grandpa will have everyone take turns guarding the woods. If we see birds coming, we'll use bamboo poles to scare them away."

Pei Ji gradually stopped listening. These things were very new to him. Just as he had never imagined that these fruits grew on trees, he also never imagined that birds liked to eat fruits.

Shi Tou suddenly realized and said, "Oh, so that's why you brought these two long bamboo poles?"

Mao Mao shook his head. "We didn't bring bamboo poles to scare away birds. Today, it's my second uncle who's guarding the woods. He also brought a bamboo pole, and it's even longer than ours."

Pei Ji, who had been leaning against Min Yueqing, gradually straightened up as he listened with interest and couldn't help but ask, "So what are you going to do with the bamboo poles you brought today?"

Pei Ji had already noticed that the bamboo poles they brought were quite interesting. They weren't the kind of bamboo with thin branches and leaves that grow in bamboo forests. Instead, the bamboo stalks were stripped bare, leaving only the main stem. One end of the bamboo pole had a hook hanging from it, and there was even a bag below the hook.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a bag. He couldn't tell what it was made of, but it was clearly different from the cloth bags he usually saw.

When Mao Mao heard the young master, who hadn't said a word since the door opened, ask a question, he quickly replied, "This is a bamboo pole used to hook persimmons, and it can also be used to knock down dates."

The words "hooking persimmons" and "picking dates" puzzled Pei Ji. Just as he was about to ask further, he heard Erzhu's loud voice from outside the carriage, "Madam, young master, we've arrived."

Sure enough, the carriage slowly came to a stop. Shi Tou had found it amusing at first, and now that he heard they had arrived at their destination, he couldn't help but say to Min Yueqing, "Master, let's get off."

Min Yueqing nodded.

To avoid making it difficult for everyone to walk, Shi Tou decided to take the long bamboo pole off the car first. He immediately told Mao Mao to go out first, and Da Shu also got up and went out to help. Shi Tou held one end of the bamboo pole in the car, while Mao Mao and Da Shu held the other end of the bamboo pole outside, and carried it out horizontally.

Pei Ji's curiosity was completely piqued, and the previous dullness vanished. He said to Min Yueqing, "Mother, let's go out too."

Min Yueqing asked with amusement, "Your leg doesn't hurt anymore?"

Pei Ji's agate-like eyes flickered, but she still bravely whispered, "It doesn't hurt as much anymore."

Seeing his stubborn little expression, Min Yueqing couldn't help but smile. She stood up, picked up the little one, and subtly tapped his leg, releasing a bit of her special ability to alleviate his discomfort.

Actually, this minor injury is not serious enough to warrant using superpowers, but when the little one sees the other children climbing trees and running around, he will definitely not be willing to stand alone on the side and will probably want to join the group.

She knew that although her little one was tiny, he always paid attention to his posture. He was just unhappy because he found that he could only walk with his legs apart after his afternoon nap. Besides, she couldn't bear to see her little one in pain when he walked, so Min Yueqing couldn't help but use a little of her special ability.

In the past, whenever Min Yueqing heard her friends say that after having children, their tempers were completely worn down, and they would unconsciously break their original habits and wholeheartedly consider their children's needs, she was somewhat skeptical, thinking that her friends were still spoiling their children.

Now that it was her turn, she suddenly realized that she wasn't much better than her friends. If Pei Ji hadn't been so well-behaved and sensible, she didn't know how many things she would have had to do that she would never have imagined before.

In the apocalypse, unless the injury is severed, internal organs are damaged, or there is uncontrollable bleeding, patients will grit their teeth and endure the pain. If that doesn't work, they will use some medication. Even when they do use medication, they dare not use too much, because medicine is a scarce resource in the apocalypse.

And these medical-type ability users are even rarer. Everyone unanimously hopes to use such a scarce and precious resource where it is most needed.

Min Yueqing, with a calm expression, carried the baby out of the carriage.

As soon as she stepped out of the car, she heard the little baby in her arms cry out. Min Yueqing turned her head and saw a large area of ​​fruit trees. No wonder Mao Mao said "forest". This is a forest full of fruit trees.

A middle-aged man with a kind face hurried out of the woods, bowing respectfully to Min Yueqing: "Madam, you've arrived! We were completely unprepared, truly..."

This must be the second uncle that Mao Mao mentioned is responsible for guarding the forest today.

Min Yueqing smiled and said, "We just came with the children to pick some fruit. It's no trouble at all. You can go about your business. There's no need to come over here specifically."

Li Er still seemed a little uneasy, so he said, "Madam, why don't I come along? Which tree do you fancy? I'll pick the fruit for you."

Old Li had repeatedly instructed them not to neglect the lady and the others. Meeting such a good master was a blessing they had accumulated over several lifetimes; if they didn't serve them well, there would be no going back. Seeing the lady and young master dressed in fine brocade, heading into the woods and even picking fruit themselves, Li Er couldn't help but feel uneasy.
