Even from a distance, you can see that the persimmons are big and round. If you can eat them, they must be very sweet.
Lu Yuanbao looked at the big yellow tomatoes, swallowed hard, and his black eyes shone.
There are such beautiful big tomatoes on the mountain, but no one picks them and takes them back. There must be a reason for this.
That is - it's too high.
The persimmon tree is seven or eight meters high and grows halfway up the mountain. The trunk of the tree is long and thin. Even if you climb up, it is very likely that the trunk will not be able to support your body weight and you will fall down with a thump.
If you fall and break your arms and legs, that would be a minor injury. But if you accidentally roll down the mountain, it would be fatal.
So even though there are such good persimmons, no one picks them.
Lu Yuanbao looked at those big tomatoes and felt a pang of regret.
Chu Yue on the side had already taken out the tool, which was a slingshot tied with a thick rubber band.
She held the slingshot in one hand and picked up a small stone from the mountain road with the other hand. She raised her arm, narrowed her left eye slightly, aimed with her right eye, and pulled the rubber band.
A "whoosh" sound was heard.
The small stone cut through the air and flew towards the persimmon tree not far away at a very fast speed.
In the blink of an eye.
I saw the branches of the persimmon tree shaking, and a bunch of big, round persimmons fell from the sky along with the branches, making a gurgling sound as they landed on the ground.
Lu Yuanbao was stunned.
It all happened so fast and so precisely.
He didn't even see clearly where Chu Yue hit, and the big tomato had already fallen down.
Then, Chu Yue made a few more whooshes, and the persimmons fell one by one, rolling on the ground.
She quickly finished throwing the small stones in her hand, with such accuracy that every shot hit the target.
Lu Yuanbao was no longer just amazed, but full of admiration.
He knew Chu Yue was powerful, but what he had seen before was only her medical skills and intelligence, not much martial arts.
Chu Yue just showed off her skills a little bit and she already gained a little fan.
If Lu Zhanlin were to do this, he might not be able to hit the target every time.
After Chu Yue finished shooting the little stone, she lowered her head to meet Lu Yuanbao's shining eyes of admiration and asked him, "Yuanbao, do you want to try it?"
"Can I...can I?"
Lu Yuanbao looked at the slingshot in Chu Yue's hand cautiously. He obviously liked it so much, but he was trying hard to hide it.
"Of course!" Chu Yue said firmly, and put the slingshot in Lu Yuanbao's hand, "From now on, this slingshot is yours. But you can't use it to hit people, understand?"
Lu Yuanbao nodded vigorously, his little heart pounding wildly.
This is a slingshot...
What was unimaginable yesterday has become a dream come true today.
It feels like a dream.
Chu Yue held his hand, "Hold here with your left hand, and pull here with your right hand. Try it... Use your greatest strength... Let go when you can't pull anymore."
Lu Yuanbao tried several times, and with his considerable strength, he was able to hit the persimmon tree.
"Very good, now start aiming... Don't hit the persimmons, hit the branches above the persimmons. If the branches break, the persimmons will fall down."
I see.
Lu Yuanbao nodded.
The theoretical knowledge is simple, but it is difficult to implement. Persimmons are at least big and round, which is a relatively large target.
But the trunk is just a thin section, and when viewed from the air with the naked eye, it is not even as thick as a chopstick.
Lu Yuanbao tried several times but failed to hit the target. He did not get discouraged. He calmed down and took a deep breath. He posed as Chu Yue had said. At the same time, he remembered the little man Chu Yue had drawn yesterday and subconsciously posed.
call out.
A small stone flew out.
A persimmon on the persimmon tree not far away was shaking gently.
"Great! I got it!"
Chu Yue encouraged.
Lu Yuanbao is still so young, but he has such strength and accuracy, he can be said to be quite a genius.
Lu Yuanbao continued to try, and the second time he hit the branch, there was a sound of a large tomato falling.
whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
A few minutes later, large tomatoes fell from the tree and rolled into the fallen leaves.
Soon, more than half of the persimmons on the persimmon tree were gone.
Chu Yue felt that it was about time, so she asked Lu Yuanbao to stop. The remaining persimmons could be left for the birds in the woods or for other people who would go up the mountain later.
Lu Yuanbao had an excited smile on his face. He happily touched the slingshot with both hands and wanted to hand it to Chu Yue, but he was a little hesitant.
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Put it away. It's yours from now on. Don't drop it on the mountain."
"good!"
Lu Yuanbao answered loudly.
The mother and son walked to the persimmon tree, pulled aside the thick fallen leaves, and found the big tomatoes.
The big tomatoes are crisp and hard. Some are cracked, while others are still whole.
Lu Yuanbao ran very fast, found the big tomatoes one by one, and put them in Chu Yue's bamboo backpack.
Chu Yue took out a small knife, peeled the persimmon and cut it into small pieces. The persimmon looked bright yellow and the flesh inside was also orange. She handed it to Lu Yuanbao to eat.
Lu Yuanbao was already sweating as he took a bite of the crispy persimmon flesh, which made a crunching sound.
"Is it sweet?"
"sweet!"
After the two of them had packed the persimmons, Chu Yue put on the bamboo backpack and continued walking up the mountain.
They followed the route given by Carrie Lam, so after continuing up the mountain for a while, they finally found the chestnut tree of Castanea chinensis.
The chestnut tree is tall and big, taller than the persimmon tree. However, unlike the bare persimmon tree, the chestnut tree still has green leaves which do not turn yellow even in winter.
You don’t need to climb a tree to pick chestnuts, because when the chestnuts are ripe, they will fall from the tree. You just need to pick the chestnuts around the roots of the tree. 】
When Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao stood under the tree, they could still hear the plop-plop sound of chestnuts falling from the tree and hitting the ground.
The chestnut has a layer of thorny shell on the outside, just like a hedgehog. (Picture)
It would be terrible if a burr chestnut fell on your head.
Chu Yue's hat played an important role at this time.
She said to Lu Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, stand further away and hold the bamboo basket on your head."
Lu Yuanbao immediately did as he was told and trotted away to a farther location.
Chu Yue was seen facing the chestnut tree, then took a deep breath, gathered the strength of her body and the spiritual power in the space, and then kicked the chestnut tree heavily.
Plop, plop, plop.
Chestnuts fell from the treetops one by one, and it began to rain chestnuts.
Chu Yue stood under the chestnut tree, wearing a triangular hat to block the attack of the prickly chestnuts.
A chestnut rolled and rolled from under the tree to Lu Yuanbao's feet.
Mature chestnuts will have an opening, and you can see the ripe brown fruit inside the thorns.
Lu Yuanbao reached out to pick up chestnuts and accidentally touched the burrs the first time, but he didn't feel any pain at all. He broke the burrs and picked out the brown chestnuts inside.
I smelled it and it smells so good.
Just like what I ate yesterday~
