Chapter 19: Hot Pot Preparation



Because of the bad weather, the people in the village stayed at home and did not go out, which was convenient for Xiaoguo. He came to the trap according to the mark he left in the morning. From a distance, he saw something fluttering inside. Xiaoguo was overjoyed and ran over quickly. It turned out to be a big pheasant, which was panting heavily at the moment. Judging from the scattered chicken feathers inside, it must have been inside for quite a long time.

Xiao Guo mourned for it for a moment and said, "Goodbye, my cute little pheasant. I will cook you into something delicious. Rest in peace." After the moment of silence, he sent it away with a sickle.

She put it in the basket and walked towards another trap. When she arrived, she saw that the trap was intact and there was no prey inside. Xiao Guo was not disappointed. For her, catching a pheasant was enough of a surprise.

After Xiaoguo restored the trap, he walked down the mountain, stopping and walking along the way, cutting grass while walking around to familiarize himself with the environment, and unknowingly reached the other end.

Stopping and looking at the towering trees around, Xiaoguo found the trees here so familiar. He studied the tree carefully. Based on the tree lines and shape and the growth environment, he determined that it was a coconut tree. He was shocked. Taohua Village was actually next to the sea? There was such a large coconut forest. If he walked further, he would definitely be at the sea.

Xiao Guo looked carefully to see if there were any coconuts growing on the trees. He looked at several trees before he found one with two small coconuts on it. Xiao Guo thought about taking it down, and there happened to be a pheasant on it, so he made it into coconut chicken to eat.

Xiaoguo wanted to find a thicker branch to knock the coconuts down, but he couldn't find one that satisfied him. After walking for a while, he saw a small tree that was as thick as his wrist. Xiaoguo chopped it down without saying a word and returned to the coconut tree with the tree. Fortunately, the chopped tree was quite long and the coconut tree was not very tall. Xiaoguo picked up the coconuts while holding the basket underneath. After knocking for a long time, he finally knocked down the two small coconuts.

Xiaoguo happily carried the coconuts home and did not forget to leave a mark along the way, thinking of coming back to pick coconuts later.

Because it took some time to pick the coconuts, Xiaoguo didn't realize it and it was already dark when he got home. As soon as Xiaoguo reached the door of his house, he saw a small black figure sitting at the door from a distance. The house was pitch black. Other houses had lit candles and were lit, making the little man in front of the door look even more lonely.

Zhuangzhuang looked into the distance without blinking until he saw a figure coming not far away. Zhuangzhuang quickly ran over and hugged Xiaoguo tightly, burying himself in Xiaoguo's legs like an abandoned beast. Xiaoguo felt sad and didn't expect Zhuangzhuang to react so strongly. Her eyes became red. It was all her fault. If she hadn't been greedy for those two coconuts, she wouldn't have dawdled until now. Thinking of this, she squatted down and picked up Zhuangzhuang. The three-year-old child was easily picked up with just one hug.

Zhuangzhuang, who was picked up, threw himself onto Xiaoguo's neck and buried his face in it. He wrapped his arms tightly around Xiaoguo's neck to prevent Xiaoguo from looking at his red eyes from crying.

Xiaoguo carried Zhuangzhuang home and lit the candles as soon as they entered the house. The dark house was instantly filled with warm yellow light. Zhuangzhuang stopped crying under Xiaoguo's patient comfort. While crying, he talked a lot and explained why he was crying. It turned out that he cried when it was just getting dark. His mother, who said she would be back soon, had not come back for a long time. It was already dark, and he was afraid that his mother would have an accident, so he sat at the door waiting for her. He waited and waited, but she still didn't come, so he started crying again. Didn't you say that you would never leave him wherever you go? Mom... wuwu...
