After Brother Yun finished speaking, he ate the whole bird egg. When he finished, he said, "Yiyi, the bird egg is cooked and delicious. You can continue to peel it."
Yun Yiyi responded happily, "Okay, big brother."
Soon, Yun Yiyi peeled another bird egg and put it in her mouth.
Wow, the bird's eggs smell so good. They're just a little small. It would be better if they were baked chicken eggs. Bigger eggs definitely taste better when baked.
Brother Yun put all the opened bird eggs aside and picked up a bird egg to peel it.
Yun Yiyi ate four bird eggs and stopped eating.
"Yiyi, there are still some bird eggs, you can continue eating."
"Third brother, I don't want to eat them anymore. I want to take some home and let Dad, Mom, and Brother Zirui taste the roasted bird eggs."
When Third Brother Yun, Second Brother Yun, and Big Brother Yun heard this, they all stopped eating.
"Then we won't eat them. Take these remaining nine eggs home."
"That's fine. The sweet potatoes aren't hot anymore. You can eat them now."
Brother Yun picked up a sweet potato and handed it to Yun Yiyi.
The others also picked up a sweet potato and started eating.
After Yun Yiyi took the sweet potato, she carefully peeled off the skin, revealing the sweet potato flesh inside.
Yun Yiyi took a big bite and it was soft and sweet, so delicious.
"Brother, the sweet potatoes you baked are so sweet. They are so delicious. I can eat both of them."
"Haha, big brother's skill in roasting sweet potatoes is really great. You guys will enjoy them. Tomorrow, let mom finish cooking and roast some sweet potatoes for us."
"Well, big brother, this is a good idea. As long as we don't burn too many sweet potatoes, I think mother will definitely agree."
"Third brother, you really understand mother."
Third Brother Yun shook his head proudly, "That's for sure."
"After we finish eating the sweet potatoes, we won't be so hungry anymore. Let's start transporting the sweet potatoes down the mountain."
"Brother, let's transport the sweet potatoes to the persimmon tree first. Then, let's transport them down the mountain from the persimmon tree."
Brother Yun nodded in agreement, "Okay. Let's do it."
Second Brother Yun glanced at First Brother Yun and said, "Big Brother, you and Yiyi will go down the mountain in a while. Third Brother and I will continue picking persimmons in the mountains."
"Yes, big brother. When you and Yiyi come back, please bring the food to the mountain. My second brother and I won't go down the mountain."
Brother Yun nodded, "Okay. No problem."
Yun Yiyi felt a little headache as she looked at the sweet potato vines that had rolled into three big balls.
She looked at Brother Yun and said, "Brother, are we still transporting the sweet potato vines?"
Brother Yun thought for a moment and said, "Let's move the sweet potato vines as well. We'll move the sweet potatoes to the persimmon tree first, and then come back to move the sweet potato vines."
"Second brother, third brother. There are three bundles of sweet potato vines. The three of us can each take one bundle and carry them back.
Second Brother Yun nodded, "Okay. But the sweet potato vines need to be tied up again. Otherwise, it will be bad luck if they are all scattered."
Third Brother Yun said, "That's not difficult. Just pull out a few longer sweet potato vines to use as ropes, and we can tie them up together."
"Okay, let's do it."
Soon, everyone finished their two roasted sweet potatoes.
Yun Yiyi touched her belly. Although she was still hungry, she knew she could definitely hold on until she got down the mountain.
"Yiyi, Second Brother, Third Brother, all of you, please stand aside. I'm going to cover these ashes and the fire pit with soil."
After hearing this, Yun Yiyi and the others retreated from the fire pit.
"Brother, is this for fire prevention?"
"Yes, we have no water, so we can only cover it with soil. However, if we cover it with multiple layers of soil, it will also prevent fire."
"Wow, brother, you are so thoughtful."
"There's nothing we can do. The mountains are full of grass. If we don't manage it properly and a fire breaks out, the trees, grass, and animals in the mountains will all suffer."
While muttering, Brother Yun dug the soil next to him with a hoe, and then he piled all the dug soil on top of the fire pit.
He stopped only when Brother Yun had piled a thick layer of soil on the fire pit.
"Okay, that'll do it."
"Yiyi, take your stick. Let's get going."
"Got it, big brother."
After Big Brother Yun finished speaking, he, Second Brother Yun, and Third Brother Yun carried the basket together.
Just now, Second Brother Yun and Third Brother Yun were worried that the sweet potatoes in the basket would fall out after they carried it on their backs, so they cut a lot of grass and put it on top of the basket.
In order to make it stronger, they used sweet potato vines to wrap the grass around the basket.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, let's go."
After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, she carried her stick and walked in front.
"Got it, Yiyi. Just walk ahead. Stop under the persimmon tree where we store the persimmons."
"Got it, big brother."
In this way, Yun Yiyi and Brother Yun took almost an hour to return to the persimmon tree where they stored the persimmons.
"Yiyi, wait here for the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother. Let's go back and carry the sweet potato vines."
"Okay, big brother, go ahead. I'll be waiting for you right here and I'm not going anywhere."
Brother Yun warned worriedly, "Yiyi, don't run around. If you feel sleepy, take a nap. We'll be back soon."
Yun Yiyi opened her eyes wide and agreed sincerely, "Don't worry, brothers, I'll go to bed soon."
"Brother, let's go quickly. It's really getting late."
"Yeah, big brother, it takes us almost two hours to go back and forth."
"Got it, I'll leave now."
Big Brother Yun glanced at Yun Yiyi, then walked back with Second Brother Yun and Third Brother Yun.
Yun Yiyi waited until she could no longer see their shadows before she sat down.
However, she felt a little thirsty.
Thirst? That's easy. Yun Yiyi climbed up the persimmon tree, picked a ripe persimmon, and ate it happily.
After she ate two persimmons on the tree, she felt no longer thirsty, so she sat down leaning against a branch.
Then she slowly closed her eyes and began to sleep.
It was actually quite hot under the scorching sun, but there was a bit of breeze up there.
Soon, Yun Yiyi fell asleep.
I don’t know how long it took before someone shook Yun Yiyi, “Yiyi, wake up, we have to go down the mountain.”
Yun Yiyi slowly opened her eyes, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, you are back so soon."
"I'll get down from the tree once I've calmed down."
"Got it, Yiyi. Don't worry, big brother is waiting for you."
Yun Yiyi rubbed her eyes with both hands, and when she felt refreshed, she slowly climbed down the tree.
"Brother, do you want to take a break?"
"No need, Yiyi, let's go now. Our father and mother must be worried at home."
Yun Yiyi picked up her stick and said, "Okay, big brother, let's start walking down the mountain now."
