Chen Aijun nodded hurriedly and said happily, "Hey! Good! I'm glad I can help you!" As he spoke, he prepared to help Chen Ping carry the box.
Upon seeing this, Yun Dazheng said calmly, "The box isn't heavy. Let him carry it himself. You just come with us. It's just a beehive, it's light as a feather. If he needs your help to carry even this, then there's no point in bringing him along. Anyway, you can do what he can do. It's even better if we're family."
Although Yun Dazheng's words sounded like they were directed at Chen Aijun, they were actually meant for Chen Ping. Therefore, upon hearing this, Chen Ping immediately moved the box away from Chen Aijun and said, "That's right, that's right. This box isn't heavy. Uncle Yun asked me to come along so that I could help out, right? Don't try to steal my job just to show off."
Chen Aijun didn't insist and followed Yun Duo and Yun Dazheng into the woods.
After walking about fifty meters more, Xiao Jiu whispered in Yun Duo's ear, "Master, Master, we've arrived. That hive of bees is on the elm tree ahead."
Yun Duo looked up and, sure enough, saw the beehive hanging high in the tree branch. Since Yun Dazheng's attention was mainly on Yun Duo, when she looked up, Yun Dazheng also looked up and saw the beehive. He immediately said, "Alright, we're here."
As he spoke, he looked around and pointed to a slightly flatter spot next to the elm tree, saying to Chen Ping, "Put the beehives there."
"Okay~" Chen Ping quickly replied, and ran to the place Yun Dazheng was pointing to, put down the beehive, came back and rubbed his hands, and asked expectantly, "Uncle Yun, is it time to attract the bees?"
Yun Da glanced at him, said nothing, and deliberately put on a 'profound and unfathomable' look.
Anyway, Yun Duo had made it clear beforehand that they wouldn't answer any questions, so Chen Ping didn't feel embarrassed. He just chuckled and said, "I was just asking casually," which was enough to get himself out of the predicament.
Yunduo took out a small bamboo tube, which was plugged with a cork. It actually contained only a little bit of water. She deliberately used a bamboo tube to make it look like a real water container.
After taking out the bamboo tube, Yun Duo said to Chen Ping, "Help me break off a cypress branch. It doesn't need to be big, just a small branch about a foot long will do."
"Okay!" Chen Ping immediately replied, ran to the vicinity to pick a cypress branch that was about a foot long, and handed it back to Yun Duo.
Yun Duo took Bai Ya and went to the beehive. She sprinkled the water from the bamboo tube evenly on Bai Ya, then put Bai Ya into the beehive. She then carefully put the bamboo tube back into her bag and patted it gently. After returning to Chen Ping's side, she magically pulled a slingshot out of her bag and asked Chen Ping, "Can you hit it accurately?"
Seeing the slingshot that Yun Duo had pulled out, Chen Ping's face stiffened. He swallowed hard before cautiously looking at Yun Duo and asking, "Little Yun Duo, you don't mean you want me to use this slingshot to shoot down the beehive, do you?" As soon as he said that, Chen Ping's face turned into a bitter expression.
However, Yun Duo nodded and said in a serious tone, "Yes, we use a slingshot, but we don't need to knock down the hive. We just need to disturb the bees inside."
Chen Ping's face grew increasingly bitter. With a pained expression, he said incredulously, "No, you're kidding, right? If we really disturb the bees in the hive, won't we get stung like pigs?"
