Chapter 111: Discovering a Large Pear Tree
Even Gu Qiqi couldn't help but look at Xiao Mo a few more times!
This guy is so capable that he can actually find a badger and use smoke to force the badger to come out of its hole!
Putting the two sacks of badgers aside, Su Mingyuan and Su Qingshan went on to collect firewood.
"You guys, if you have energy to spare, help gather those dead branches we knocked down!" Su Qingshan said to Jinchen and Jinan.
Gu Jinan: "Grandpa, we are going up the mountain to hunt birds and rabbits today!"
Gu Jinchen: "I'll come to help after I kill two more game!"
Xiao Mo: "I'll be responsible for watching Qibao!"
One sentence per person.
Su Qingshan shook his head.
Okay, don't count on it!
The female rabbit ate the vegetable leaves that Qibao fed her and then lay in the backpack to rest.
The little rabbits were rubbing their heads in their mother rabbit's arms for milk.
Gu Qiqi stood beside the backpack and stared at the rabbit inside.
This mother rabbit was lucky to meet them, otherwise the little rabbit would be born in such a cold weather and would die sooner or later without food.
Of course, even if you get fat, you’ll still die!
But before death, he can still enjoy some time in captivity.
"Qibao likes little rabbits?" Xiao Mo, who was standing aside, tried to make small talk and get close to the little girl.
"I like it!" Gu Qiqi nodded.
【Who doesn’t like eating meat! 】
Xiao Mo wanted to sigh at the little girl's kindness in the last second, but the next second he shut up when he heard Qibao's thoughts.
Sure enough, he was overthinking it!
Love doesn't exist!
Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan wandered around in the woods for a long time but couldn't find their target.
Not to mention pheasants and rabbits, not even a bird was found.
Finally, the two brothers returned to sit next to Qibao in disappointment.
Dong Yulan raked a lot of pine needles, and Su Mingmei also picked up a bunch of pine cones.
It was almost lunch time, and Dong Yulan invited everyone to eat.
Gu Qiqi came forward and helped grandma take out the lunch from the backpack.
Lunch is simple, just the wraps Dong Yulan made in the morning, which can be eaten by just rolling them up with a scallion.
I also boiled a few eggs for the children.
Then there is the water you bring.
Keep it simple when you are out, and have a good meal when you get home.
Dong Yulan was busy taking food out when suddenly eight juicy pears appeared at the bottom of her backpack.
Dong Yulan paused while taking the things and glanced at Qibao.
Okay, one for each person, my dear girl, this is a snack for everyone!
Everyone was surprised to see the fragrant pears taken out of the basket, and the foodie Gu Jinan screamed with excitement.
Everyone was very happy eating wraps and pears, although the meal was simple.
After dinner, Su Qingshan and his friends continued to collect firewood.
However, Gu Jinchen was thinking about food in the mountains.
"There should be chestnut trees on our mountain. Autumn has just passed and winter is coming soon. The chestnuts should be falling all over the ground!"
"Yes, let's go pick chestnuts. Second brother, do you know where to pick them?" Gu Jinan's eyes lit up.
Gu Jinchen pulled his head back and said, "I'm not familiar with this mountain, how would I know where to pick it up?"
"When I went to look for badgers, I seemed to see two chestnut trees!" Xiao Mo suddenly spoke.
"What, Brother Xiao, you found a chestnut tree?" Gu Jinan was overjoyed.
Gu Qiqi couldn't help but look over.
"Well, it's not far from the badger hole. I don't know if it is a chestnut tree. Even if there are chestnuts, they should have been eaten by the badgers!" Xiao Mo said.
"Brother Xiao, please take us to see it!" Gu Jinan couldn't wait.
"Is Qibao going?" Xiao Mo looked down at Qibao.
He had no interest in picking chestnuts, but if Qibao went, that would be a different matter.
"Go!" Gu Qiqi nodded.
Chestnuts are food.
It is delicious to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts in winter.
I don’t know if grandma can do it.
There are also chestnut trees in her secret space, but the varieties are somewhat different from those of this era.
Xiao Mo took Qibao and walked towards the badger cave with Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan.
The two chestnut trees were some distance from the badger hole.
After walking about another thousand meters deeper, two chestnut trees appeared before everyone's eyes.
"It really is a chestnut tree. Let's go pick chestnuts!" Gu Jinan rushed up happily.
Unfortunately, the joy was in vain. The chestnuts on the ground had been eaten up by the badgers, and only some were left on the trees.
Gu Jinchen quickly climbed up the tree to pick chestnuts.
Gu Qiqi walked aside and, while her brothers were climbing up the tree to pick chestnuts, she quietly transplanted a small chestnut tree next to them into the secret space.
The soil in the secret space is fertile and full of spiritual energy. The chestnut trees planted there will soon grow into towering trees, and there will be more chestnuts than you can eat.
Gu Jinchen, Gu Jinan and Xiao Mo were responsible for picking the fruits from the tree, while Gu Qiqi stood under the tree and watched.
Gu Qiqi's spiritual consciousness spread towards the depths and found a pear tree.
There are quite a lot of pears on the tree, but none of them are as juicy as the ones in her space.
Xiao Mo picked chestnuts while paying attention to Qibao's actions.
Seeing her standing under the tree with a blank look in her eyes, I roughly knew what she was doing.
There were not many chestnuts left on the chestnut tree, and I only picked half a basket in total.
Gu Qiqi led the few people to go deeper into the cave and soon arrived at the pear tree.
Seeing the tree full of fruits, Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan were extremely excited.
"Let's go and ask grandma and the others to come and pick pears. There's no need to chop firewood. We can just trade the pears with them!" said Gu Jinchen.
Pears are much more valuable than firewood.
"It would be great if all these pears could be exchanged for money!" The money-loving little Gu Jinan looked curious.
"Qibao, you and Jinchen go call for help. Jinan and I will wait for you here!" Xiao Mo was worried. After all, they were already a bit deep in the inner area. If a wild beast escaped from the inner area, he would not feel comfortable leaving Jinan and Jinchen here.
After all, Qibao is at the third level of Qi Refining, so dealing with ordinary prey is not a problem for him.
"No need, Qibao, stay here. I'll be back soon!" Gu Jinchen started running, his figure moving quickly through the woods and soon disappeared.
When Su Qingshan and his companions heard that they had discovered a pear orchard, they put down their work at the same time.
"Oh, it seems we are destined not to be able to collect firewood properly today. Let's go and take a look!"
Su Mingmei and a few others followed Gu Jinchen and soon arrived at the pear orchard.
Looking at the branches full of pears, Su Qingshan and Dong Yulan were very excited.
Resources were already scarce in the planned economy era, and things like fruits were in limited supply. You might not be able to get them even if you wanted to, and they were expensive, so the average family simply couldn't afford them.
"If we pick all these pears, they will weigh tens of thousands of pounds!" Su Qingshan muttered as he stared at the heavy pears on the branches.
"Are we going to pick them all and take them home? We won't be able to eat all of them..." Dong Yulan said.
"I have an idea. Our cotton mill may be able to consume these pears, but we may need Qibao's help!"
The brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation.
When Su Mingyuan saw the pear tree in front of him, he already had an idea in his mind.
Seeing Xiao Mo squatting on a tree with Jin'an picking pears, Su Mingyuan became a little uncertain: "Is this kid reliable?"
