Mingyue and the others had almost finished their meal.
Uncle Lu quickly cleaned up the tableware, food scraps and other items one by one, and completely put out the burning fire.
He first carefully used a branch to stir the embers in the fire, making sure that no sparks remained. Then he dug some soil from nearby and evenly covered the once blazing fire pit.
In this way, the dangerous situation of forest fire caused by the fire not being extinguished can be effectively avoided.
At the same time, Aunt Tian and her friends also began to prepare to leave.
Just as they turned and started walking, Auntie Tian noticed that Mingyue and Hongque hadn't caught up. She turned around, glanced at Mingyue and Hongque in turn, and asked, "Aren't you two going to go out with us?"
Hearing this, Redbird shook her head gently, "No, Aunt Tian. I still have things to do in this mountain."
A lot of time has been spent on dealing with the wolf pack. Now the sky is already turning slightly pale, and she must hurry.
For Hongque's safety, Mingyue naturally had to follow her.
Aunt Tian didn't say anything. "Okay, be careful. We'll leave first."
And so, the group separated.
Now only Hongque and Mingyue are left.
Hong Que turned her head and thanked Ming Yue, "Sister, thank you."
Mingyue waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I just want to repay the nunnery's kindness."
With someone to accompany her, Hongque was obviously much more cheerful. "Sister, let's go find the fruit dyed red by the sunrise. The sunrise is very close."
"Okay, let's go there."
"There's a fruit forest halfway up the mountain ahead. Let's go and take a look."
On the way, Redbird introduced Mingyue to the fruits that were dyed red by the sunrise. These fruits only ripen at sunrise, and their color changes with the sunlight, from beige to bright red to deep red, as if they were dyed by the sunrise.
This fruit is most delicious when it is bright red.
When it turns deep red, the fruit will have a winey taste, and some people like this taste.
This time, the cardinal needs to pick the bright red fruits, so it must seize the time.
In the forest in the early morning, some white fog appeared around.
Walking in the forest at this time is like wearing a white veil.
Mingyue and Hongque chatted quietly, observing the surrounding environment from time to time, looking for orchards.
Finally, on a gentle slope, they found the orchard where the sunrise fruits were harvested.
At this time, the sky was gradually turning pale, and the dawn was quietly approaching.
And those strange fruits called sunrise fruits are hanging quietly on the branches. Now these fruits are still off-white in color.
Mingyue and Hongque knew that the opportunity was fleeting, so they waited intently by the side.
As the sun jumped out from the horizon, the red halo sprinkled on the sunrise fruit, giving the fruit a light red color.
A magical scene happened: the originally off-white sunrise fruit gradually turned into a bright red, like a ball of burning flame.
Now is the best time to pick!
Mingyue and Honglin must seize the opportunity and pick the fruits when they turn bright red.
The two men acted without hesitation, climbed up the fruit tree nimbly, and quickly picked the bright red sunrise fruits.
The two people were not slow, but the color of the sunrise fruits changed very quickly. In the end, each of them picked about ten sunrise fruits.
Rhubarb also helped bite off three or four shorter sunrise fruits.
These are completely sufficient.
Having found another material he needed, Redbird was very happy and couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the dense grass nearby.
Then, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from inside. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a sturdy gray wolf.
The wolf glanced at Mingyue and Redbird with its sharp yellow eyes, then slowly opened its mouth and gently placed a handful of herbs on the ground. Then it turned around without hesitation and ran away. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the vast woods.
It seems that the previous wolf pack felt sorry for the misunderstanding, so they sent the herbs?
"What is this?" The red cardinal squatted down and approached the pile of herbs dropped by the gray wolf and examined them carefully.
When she saw the herbs clearly, her eyes widened, a smile of surprise instantly blooming on her face. She was so excited that she almost jumped up. "Oh my God! These are actually running herbs! And there are six of them in here!!! This is more than enough!"
"Now there's only one thing left! The flowers on the cliff!"
Mingyue was also happy for Redbird. She knew that Redbird had spent a lot of time and effort in the mountains. For a child to dare to go into the mountains alone, in addition to courage, he must also have a certain amount of tenacity. Therefore, Mingyue still admired Redbird's words.
"Once you've gathered all the ingredients, what are you going to do? Do you want to find someone to help you cook, or can you cook it yourself?"
Redbird smiled shyly, "I'm going to make it myself. I've looked up information at school and asked the teacher, so I'm going to give it a try."
"You can do it." Mingyue patted Hongque's shoulder.
Because the cardinal only needed thirteen sunrise fruits, Mingyue could use the rest by herself. Even the herbs sent by the wolves, the cardinal only took the grass that could run, and the rest were Mingyue's.
Mingyue cut open a sunrise fruit and gave some to Bianbao and Xiaoman to try.
The flesh of this sunrise fruit is also red, with a very thin skin on the outside. The flesh inside is very juicy and tastes slightly sweet. Mingyue plans to go back and try making some desserts with this fruit.
Next, the two continued to climb the mountain and head towards the cliff.
