After this lunch, Song Tiantian and her friends became even more obsessed with the mushrooms on the mountain. Not long after lunch, everyone went up the mountain again.
When they reached the hot spring cave, everyone subconsciously glanced at the somewhat messy ground. Then, after making sure there were no signs of wasp activity around, they continued walking towards the woods.
Song Tiantian even released her mental power to search for the big black bear's traces on the mountain. She breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that it had left the forest.
While withdrawing her mental strength, Song Tiantian also paid attention to the location of the hornet's nest. When she saw the hornet's nest attached to the rock wall of the mountain like a huge rock, the little girl shuddered.
After all, she had just heard about the tragic situation when Ono Ue and others were taken away.
When she thought about how almost every one of them was stung and swollen, with their faces deformed and lips shaped like sausages, she couldn't help but feel lucky that they left early. Otherwise, by the time He Jingnian and Xu Anjiazhen ran to the woods on the back mountain, who knows who would be the one to get stung.
Song Tiantian hurriedly withdrew her mental energy from the hornet's nest and stopped thinking about this problem.
At this moment, the queen bee in the hive couldn't help but move its antennae and probed into the hornet's nest with some doubt...
Song Tiantian, who didn't know that the queen bee could sense her mental power, was planning to walk towards the forest ahead to pick some wild mushrooms. She was intercepted by Xie Qiumu and others who had arrived in the forest in advance to investigate the situation.
Xie Qiaomu and the others came up to Lu Chuanbei and the others with a serious expression: "We can't go any further."
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
"Not long after we went up the mountain, we found black bear footprints."
"What black bear footprints?" He Xuebin exclaimed, "So, there are still black bears in this forest?"
The audience in the live broadcast room also gasped.
[Oh my god, a black bear? Is that the big black bear I imagined?]
[No way, there are black bears here?]
Is it a wild black bear?
[Oh my god, this is too dangerous! Didn't the production crew check before looking for a recording location?]
"Yes. But normally it only moves in the deep mountains. I don't know what happened this time that made it run out from the mountains."
The ranger thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that winter is approaching, and it's expanding its hunting range to replenish its food supply, causing it to come out from the mountains?"
"It's possible. Besides, black bears have a very keen sense of smell. It might have smelled the scent of honey and ran out from the mountains."
When it comes to the black bear's love for honey, everyone suddenly understands it.
After all, it's a well-known fact that black bears love honey.
Moreover, since the immigrants from Xiejia Village moved down the mountain, they have been spending less time back in the mountains, so it is not surprising that the black bear's expanded range of activities was not discovered in advance by them.
[They're talking about honey? So the black bears are coming for the honey?]
[Wait, what about the wasps and honey? I suddenly have an idea...]
[Oh my goodness... Could it be that the Sakura Country expedition team got stung because the black bear dug out the hornet's nest and attracted the hornets out?]
[It's possible. After all, after a wasp's hive is destroyed, it will indiscriminately attack anything that threatens the hive's safety. If the Sakura Country expedition team happened to be nearby, they would undoubtedly be stung.]
"So that's how it is. I thought the Sakura Country expedition team wasn't stupid enough to attract hornets for no reason. Now it seems the big black bear dug out the hornet's nest, causing them to suffer such an unprovoked disaster."
At this time, Xie Qiaomu continued, "Oh, right, we also found some things left behind by the Sakura Country expedition team on the mountain behind us. I guess they happened to be in the area where the hornets were attacking, which is why they were besieged by them."
"I was wondering why they suddenly attracted hornets. It turns out they were tricked by the big black bear." He Xuebin sighed.
"That's right, so it's best for you not to go up the mountain for now." Xie Qiumu said, "After all, the wasps are getting quite agitated right now. If you get too close to the hive or do something that confuses them, they'll attack you. For safety's sake, it's best not to get too close for now."
"You're right."
With the Sakura Country archaeological team leading the way and setting an example for them, Lu Chuanbei and the others didn't want to offend these slightly irritable little guys.
What's more, they also found traces of a black bear. If someone accidentally encountered a black bear that ate the honey and then came back to attack, the scene would be extremely restricted.
For safety reasons, everyone unanimously decided not to go up the mountain and only carry out activities in the surrounding area.
At the same time, Director Liu also released the idle drone to patrol the surrounding mountains and forests, for fear that some uninvited guests would suddenly arrive and cause unnecessary accidents.
Since we can’t go up the mountain, we can’t delay any longer in harvesting the chestnuts in the chestnut forest.
Therefore, before re-determining the safe range of activities, everyone decided to collect the chestnuts in the chestnut forest first, and wait until the forest rangers and staff re-determined the black bear's range of activities before deciding whether to go into the mountains to dig mushrooms and harvest mountain fruits.
Song Tiantian used her mental power to see that the black bear, whose face was a circle bigger than before, had already gone back to the mountains, but in this situation, she thought she should keep quiet.
Thinking of this, Song Tiantian withdrew her mental strength and began to search for undiscovered wild mushrooms and some local mountain herbs in a nearby place that had been confirmed to be safe.
It’s no wonder that Changbai Mountain is known as a place with rich wild plant resources. Various wild Chinese herbal medicines can be seen everywhere, and the quality is quite good.
And maybe it was because she saw the black bear, but Song Tiantian subconsciously collected some poisonous medicinal herbs.
"Pa pa pa"
In the woods over here, the sound of Lu Chuanbei and his men hitting the chestnut tree with bamboo poles could be heard. Chestnut balls, slightly smaller than a fist, fell from the tree with a "crackling" sound and landed on the tarpaulin under the tree.
After picking each chestnut, they poured the chestnut balls on the tarpaulin into bamboo baskets and sacks, and carried them back to the village drying yard to dry.
This process was repeated over and over again, and soon, these round brown chestnut balls piled up into a mountain on the drying yard.
Lu Chuanbei and Xu Qi took a rake and spread the chestnut balls piled together on the ground. They then hit them hard with the back of the rake to make the chestnuts fall out of the cracked thorn balls.
After Song Tiantian and the others had knocked the chestnut balls, they used long pliers to pick out the empty chestnut balls from the pile and threw them to the other side, revealing the chestnuts underneath. They then picked them up one by one and put them into bamboo baskets.
As I kept busy like this, the amount of fresh chestnuts in the bamboo basket increased...
I actually watched Tiantian and the others picking and pluck chestnuts for over an hour...
[I'm the same. I don't know why it's so hard to look away from such a simple thing.]
Just watching Tiantian and the others fill the bamboo baskets with chestnuts gives me a sense of satisfaction.
[Same as above. This feeling of a bountiful harvest is so wonderful. It makes me a little tempted. I want to plant a few chestnut trees in my hometown, wait until the ripe season, and then knock them down to harvest a lot of chestnuts...]
[Seeing this image, I suddenly remembered the time when I was a kid, following my friends in the village, picking wild chestnuts, hazelnuts, wild pears, and wild raspberries in the mountains.]
[Yes, autumn is the harvest season at this time of year, and the mountains are full of local delicacies. But now I think about it, because of work, I haven't been back for almost five or six years. Now that I see Tiantian and the others' live broadcast, I suddenly want to go back.]
[In fact, the infrastructure in the countryside is pretty good now, and there's even express delivery. If you really want to go back to your hometown, it's actually quite nice.]
[Yes, now urban and rural construction has been connected into a large area, and the prices in my hometown are low. I don't have to pay rent, and I have land at home. The cost of living is low... No, the more I talk about it, the more I'm tempted.]
I've been working for four or five years, but I haven't saved any money. Now that I think about it, it's actually nice to go home...
For a time, many viewers who had worked outside for many years suddenly had the urge to return home, and some even took action.
Lu Chuanbei and others, who didn't know that all this had changed because of them, were still busy harvesting chestnuts in the village.
Looking at the abundant chestnut harvest, Xu Qi decided to prepare a chestnut feast in the evening.
Peel the fresh chestnuts directly, pour them into a pot with water, boil them, and then add some rock sugar to make a pot of chestnut syrup.
Similarly, put the processed chestnuts into the pot with Northeast rice and stew a pot of chestnut rice to make a staple food.
There was also a piece of pork belly and pork ribs in the courtyard, which were taken out by Xu Qi and cut into pieces to make chestnut braised pork and chestnut pork ribs soup.
In addition, there was a hen left over from yesterday, so I made some chestnut roast chicken. While stewing the chicken, I put a circle of corn tortillas on it. The soup that would soak it up would make me drool just thinking about it.
While Xu Qi was waving a spatula and showing off his skills in the kitchen, Song Tiantian took out the small medicine pot that she hadn't taken out for a long time, ran out of the kitchen, and built a small stone stove using the red bricks on the edge of the courtyard.
Upon seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room instantly became excited.
[Here she comes, Tiantian is here with her little medicine pot! ]
[Although it’s late, Tiantian is finally going to make medicine again! ]
[When I saw Tiantian picking herbs in the woods just now, I knew something like this would happen. Sure enough, I finally got what I was waiting for!]
[Rubbing my hands together excitedly, I wonder what kind of medicine Tiantian is going to make this time! ]
[No matter what, I will give my support to Tiantian first]
