Yu Xiaocao blushed at Ning Xi's flattery. She scratched the yellow hair on her head with her claws, which were stained green by grass juice, and avoided looking at Ning Xi.
Why does this sister like to praise people so much? But why does it sound sweeter than eating a candy bar?
But her eyesight is really good. She can often see bird nests on trees that others can't find, and she can satisfy her craving by digging them out.
The eggs at home were eaten by grandpa, father or younger brother. She never got any. Sometimes when she was greedy, she would secretly pick up the eggshells peeled by her younger brother and lick them.
Yu Xiaocao unconsciously looked up at the taller trees ahead.
Hmm? Is that a bird's nest?
"Gudong——" Yu Xiaocao clearly heard the sound of herself swallowing saliva.
Yu Xiaocao looked around warily. Her friends were scattered in different places, all busy working, and no one noticed her.
After putting away the backpack filled with pig grass, Yu Xiaocao walked through the grass and came under the tree to look up. The bird's nest above was intact and looked new, so there was a high probability that there were eggs or baby birds.
No matter which one you pay for, you make money.
It was almost time to go back and cook, so Ning Xi started cutting, keeping her eyes on whether there was anything special to sell. Unfortunately, she didn't receive any prompts from the system until she had finished cutting the whole piece.
Only then did she realize that the little girl who had been cutting grass for pigs not far ahead was gone, and the backpack was still beside her.
Ning Xi searched for a long time before she saw a familiar piece of clothing among the leaves in the distance.
The tree was a bit high, and she felt it was too dangerous, so she wanted to ask the child to come down quickly.
But she didn't dare to make a sound. If the person was fine and was scared and fell down by her screaming, it would be counterproductive.
However, Ning Xi was not indifferent. She remained silent and kept an eye on the movements on the tree.
"Shuashuashua——"
The leaves swayed gently, Ning Xi's pupils trembled, and she dared not breathe.
Not long after, Yu Xiaocao was seen sliding down the tree trunk.
"This tree..." Ning Xi just opened her mouth to say that the tree was too high and unsafe, but she saw Yu Xiaocao make a 'hush' gesture and quickly shut her mouth.
"Sister Xiaoxi, I just went up to rob a bird's nest. Don't tell them." Yu Xiaocao walked over with her waist hunched, and took out the bird eggs from her pocket to show Ning Xi.
Five eggs the size of quail eggs lay quietly in her dark palm.
"Sister Xiaoxi, here's one for you. Let's eat it secretly." Yu Xiaocao stuffed one into Ning Xi's hand, took one for herself, knocked it directly into her mouth with her knuckles.
"It smells so good~" Yu Xiaocao swallowed it and smacked her lips as she savored it, a look of satisfaction on her face.
She looked at the three eggs left in her pocket reluctantly, swallowed, put her hand in, but finally pulled it back.
"Eat this! I don't like eggs." Ning Xi pulled her little black hand over and put the bird egg back into her palm.
Yu Xiaocao's eyes lit up. "Really? Sister Xiaoxi, do you really not like eating?"
Ning Xi smiled gently: "Yeah."
She didn't do anything, so how could she have the nerve to share the bird eggs with the children? The little girl's desire to eat but her trying hard to hold back made people feel uncomfortable.
"Should we save the food in our pockets for tomorrow's meal?" Ning Xi asked casually.
Yu Xiaocao shook her head: "Leave it for my mom to eat."
"Ding! A mutant Sedum sedum was detected. Sell it?"
Ning Xi saw a plant with red and yellow flowers next to her, and she thought about picking some and putting them in a bottle as a decoration.
After searching everywhere for a long time, I finally found it without any effort. It was another mutant plant.
I found two trees in one day, so there is hope for exchange.
"System, can I sell it if I only cut a piece of it?" Ning Xi did not dig out the plant directly.
This mutation might be useful to them, and it would be best if it does not destroy their living environment.
System: "Yes, the part that can be sold should not be less than ten centimeters, but not everything that can be sold can be sold."
"I understand!" Ning Xi agreed readily, cut off a piece of flowering side branch with a sickle, held it in her hand, prepared to put it in a basket to hide it, and then smuggle it into the system to sell it.
Because Yu Xiaocao was always nearby, and the Sedum notoginseng plant was very conspicuous, she wouldn't be so stupid as to make it disappear out of thin air.
"Sister Xiaoxi, what are you doing? This is a waste vegetable. It's already blooming and it's not tasty." Yu Xiaocao saw the plant when she arrived.
Although they look good, they are not tasty because they are old, so she is too lazy to pick them.
"Look how beautiful it is. I'll take it home and plug it in. Just looking at it makes me feel better." Ning Xi talked nonsense.
Yu Xiaocao curled her lips: "It's quite beautiful."
But she was only interested in what was edible.
"Then Sister Xiaoxi, why don't you just dig it up and plant it? That way you can see it every day."
There is an azalea tree behind their house that her father dug up and brought home. It blooms very beautifully.
"It loves living here. If I move it, the flowers might not look as pretty. As for you, if you see a special flower like this in the future, tell me and I'll give you some candy."
Yu Xiaocao only heard the word "candy" and asked excitedly, "Really?"
Is there such a good thing?
Ning Xi asked back: "What good would it be for me to lie to you?"
Yu Xiaocao thought so too. This educated youth sister didn’t even like to eat bird eggs. She must have sweet candies to eat every day, so she didn’t like bird eggs.
"Just pretty flowers will do?" Yu Xiaocao and her friends cut grass for pigs every day. They are very familiar with this small hill and know where the flowers are abundant and the grass is lush.
Ning Xi: ...It seems you only hear what you want to hear!
