Mu Yunxi brought Sheng Zhiyi to the place where she had discovered the chestnut tree before.
Sure enough, all the fruits on the chestnut tree have ripened. Brown chestnuts are hanging on the branches, and some have fallen to the ground.
The air is filled with the faint fragrance of chestnuts, as if it is a mixture of the freshness of soil and the sweetness of chestnuts.
Mu Yunxi couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if she wanted to lock this unique taste and beauty into her heart.
Picking up a chestnut from the ground, she felt it was a gift from nature, a wonderful gift! !
Seeing that there weren't many fallen chestnuts on the ground, Sheng Zhiyi suggested to Mu Yunxi, "Xixi, go sit over there for a while. I'll climb up the tree and shake the chestnuts off."
Mu Yunxi didn't expect that he could actually climb trees...
He nodded gently and said softly, "Okay, then be careful later! Pay attention to safety."
: "Don't worry, nothing will happen." Sheng Zhiyi had mastered many tree-climbing skills when he was a child. Climbing a tree was not a difficult task for him at all.
He took off his shoes, clasped his hands together, rubbed his palms together a few times, grabbed the tree trunk and climbed up using his arm strength.
Sheng Zhiyi was very agile and climbed up the tree branch in the blink of an eye.
The view from the tree is great, and it's a different scene looking down from above.
Looking at the person under the tree who was looking at him with a smile, Sheng Zhiyi felt that his whole body was filled with strength.
Sheng Zhiyi selected a suitable branch, held the branch with one hand, stepped on the branch with both feet and shook it hard, and the brown chestnuts kept falling down like pearls with broken strings.
In just a moment, Sheng Zhiyi shook almost all the chestnuts on the tree to the ground.
Seeing that there were not many chestnuts left on the tree, Sheng Zhiyi hugged the thick trunk and slid down the chestnut tree effortlessly in just a few steps with his agility.
After he put on his shoes, Mu Yunxi came to him carrying two backpacks.
Looking at the soft curve of his profile, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
I didn't expect that just climbing a tree could make him so happy. He is really a person who is easily satisfied.
Mu Yunxi's lips curved up, and a gentle smile appeared in her eyes. "Let's start picking chestnuts."
After saying that, he put on gloves and carefully picked up the brown chestnuts that fell out of the small thorn ball from the ground.
There were still many chestnuts wrapped in the small thorn balls. Mu Yunxi picked up a stone of the right size and gently pressed it on the small thorn balls. The chestnuts came out obediently.
Although the process of crushing the chestnuts with stones is a bit time-consuming, it is really relaxing.
Sheng Zhiyi watched Mu Yunxi crush the small thorn balls one by one with stones and smiled at her: "Xixi, watch me."
After saying that, he picked up a long wooden stick from the ground and smashed it on the thorn ball on the ground. Dozens of chestnuts jumped out of the small thorn ball.
This was indeed much faster, so Mu Yunxi also learned his method, picked up a wooden stick, and slapped the ground.
Soon, the ground was covered with dense piles of chestnuts, each plump chestnut glowing golden in the sun. Mu Yunxi experienced the feeling of picking chestnuts until her hands were tired.
There were so many chestnuts on the ground that Mu Yunxi would secretly put some into the space when Sheng Zhiyi had his back to her.
The chestnuts they picked soon filled their backpacks. Sheng Zhiyi asked Mu Yunxi to continue picking chestnuts under the tree. He sent the two baskets of chestnuts back first and then came back to continue picking.
Mu Yunxi disagreed. A basket of chestnuts weighed at least 70 or 80 kilograms. If he had to carry them all up and down the mountain by himself, he would be exhausted.
Besides, she didn't want to squat on the ground picking chestnuts all the time, so it would be nice to get up and stretch her muscles.
What's more, the basket of chestnuts only weighed a few dozen kilograms, which was not very heavy for her.
In the end, the two of them ran back and forth twice before they transported all the chestnuts from the mountain back to their residence.
Unexpectedly, in just one afternoon, the two of them picked up nearly 300 kilograms of chestnuts.
The joy of harvest spread in the hearts of both of them.
This is the fun of picking chestnuts, simple and pure.
