Chapter 50 Take advantage!



Shu Miao happily harvested the first bamboo shoot in his life and couldn't help but pinch the fat bamboo shoot in his hand again and again.

At the same time, I also noticed that this bamboo forest was not only lush and green, but the distance between each bamboo was also very spacious.

Now she could finally carry her backpack and walk easily in the bamboo forest.

She had only walked in a short distance when she could clearly feel that the bamboos around her had become taller and thicker, and the bamboo shoots had naturally grown thicker in proportion.

Because she didn't know how big the bamboo forest was, she was worried that there would be no more bamboos in the future. In order to prevent herself from having to turn back later, she collected all the bamboo shoots she saw.

As she moved, the backpack was full before she knew it.

At first I was so excited, but now that the excitement has worn off, I feel my shoulders are being squeezed so hard that I can hardly move.

Just as she was about to peel all the bamboo shoots on the spot to lighten the burden, a faint sound of footsteps slowly approached from a distance.

Although he knew that the person who came was most likely Zi Li, Shu Miao couldn't help feeling a little uneasy in this dimly lit bamboo forest with the sound of a bleak wind.

She held the sickle in her hand and stared at the direction where the noise came from.

A moment later, a familiar figure suddenly disappeared from the woods and then reappeared.

Looking closely, it is indeed self-reliant!

Shu Miao breathed a sigh of relief, then tapped the bamboo beside him with the tip of his knife to send a signal to the other party.

Unexpectedly, there was a loud roar from the other side, and the person fell down directly, and a large number of bamboo leaves fell down in an instant.

Shu Miao, who had not expected this outcome at all, awkwardly withdrew his hand and quickly shouted, "Zili, it's me!"

Zi Li, with a pounding heart, held his chest and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He wanted to open his mouth and curse the other person to ease his emotions, but he was worried that his voice would be too loud and would attract other people, so he could only hold his breath.

Shu Miao saw that the man hadn't gotten up for a long time and there was no other movement, so he was a little worried that something might have happened.

He didn't care about the backpack at his feet and trotted forward to check the situation.

Before I got close, I suddenly saw his puffed-up face and the look of a bullied man who dared not speak out, and I couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing that the person was about to get angry, she quickly suppressed the upturned corner of her mouth.

He simply put on a sullen face, as if he was going to settle the score with him, and rushed to him in one step.

"Why are you glaring at me? I haven't even told you yet and you disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving me there and scaring me!"

Speaking of this, Zili finally realized that he was in the wrong first.

Mainly because he thought that with his cousin's usual cleverness, there was no chance that she would be lost, so he subconsciously neglected to give her an extra-large backpack.

I was shocked when I realized later that she didn't follow me.

Seeing that things had come to this, he no longer had the nerve to blame the other party for scaring him.

He was afraid that the other party would get angry and tell him the same thing, and then he would be the one who would be tired!

Thinking of this, he quickly got up and actively explained, "I didn't mean to do that. I was just too happy and forgot for a moment..."

He who knows the times is a hero, we have no shame!

Shu Miao was also thinking about the bamboo shoots at the moment, and was too lazy to continue arguing with him, so he just gave him a way out.

"There are too many bamboo shoots today. I definitely can't carry them back in one or two trips. I'll just peel them and take them back. This way I can bring more back."

Seeing that she didn't hold him back and leave her business behind, Zili was so happy that he readily agreed.

"That's great. I'll pick the bamboo shoots here and you can take them back. I believe..."

He had barely said half of his words when Shu Miao's dangerous gaze swept over him. He was so frightened that he immediately fell silent and put on a flattering smile.

"Will you always ask me to send you off?" Shu Miao raised her eyebrows and looked him up and down with a smile.

Zili met her meaningful smile and swallowed hard.

I do! (teeth chattering)

He shook his head insincerely and laughed awkwardly, "That can't be! I'm your brother, I definitely can't let you do it alone! You have to take turns, right?"

Seeing that he admitted his mistake with a good attitude, Shu Miao didn't bother with him anymore.

Although her strength was undeniable, it was not a reason for him to let her be the scapegoat.

When he gets used to counting on her for everything, the friendship between them will eventually deteriorate.

Yes, friends.

Although this body of hers is related to Zili by blood, in her opinion, the two are still good friends. As for relatives?

She said that there is no such thing yet, and as to whether there will be one in the future, we will talk about it when the time comes.

After redistributing the tasks, the two men took the bamboo shoots to a spacious place and started peeling them.

Hold the middle of the bamboo shoot with one hand, and use your right hand to cut the knife from the root of the bamboo shoot upwards. When it gets close to the tip, tilt the tip of the knife and the cutting action is completed.

Cut along the bottom of the knife edge again, and the skin of the entire bamboo shoot will fall off, revealing the tender yellow bamboo shoot meat inside, which looks particularly pleasing to the eye.

The two of them worked together, one cutting the bamboo shoots and the other peeling them, and soon they filled most of the backpack with bamboo shoots.

Zili no longer dared to order his cousin to do the hard labor as if it was her right. He quickly stopped what he was doing and went to carry the backpack.

He gritted his teeth, picked up the backpack, and took a few shaky steps. His legs started to shake.

Seeing this situation, Shu Miao was both amused and angry.

He knows his own weight very well, but he still dares to be greedy and carry a big basket. He deserves this!

I simply put down the work in my hands, took over the backpack, tried it on my back and felt it was okay, then gave the order directly.
