Chapter 15 15. The Child of Destiny

The idea was very good, but when Huaiyu woke up the next day, he stared at his empty hands in a daze again.

If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools.

And now, she doesn't even have a knife.

She sighed, her young face full of melancholy about life.

But it doesn’t matter. Just look at the house in front of you and you will know how powerful you are. You will get what you want sooner or later!

Huaiyu regroups! Listening to the announcement that starts at 8:00 every morning, she put on the clothes that were dried and stiff after being baked by the fire until midnight yesterday, dragged her vine net bag, hung a big red bucket on her arm, and headed towards the Rose Corridor [8] area again.

Rose, oh Rose, please be more responsible and don't make any noise again - at worst I can kowtow to you again!

Now that this is his third time crossing the Rose Corridor, Huaiyu has become somewhat familiar with it.

She carefully carried her small belongings through the dense branches and leaves, stood at the foot of the mountain, breathing in the rich air unique to Sanqing Mountain, and now strode forward.

The vine net bag had become dry and brittle after being used for a few days. It was now so small that it could not be folded up. Huai Yu dragged it through the woods with difficulty. It took him a while to finally reach the depths of the mountains.

The forest was filled with only faint sunlight. Because a heavy rain was coming, it was dark for several days and the sun was not visible.

Unfortunately, because it was too early, not many buds had sprouted yet, and there were bare tree trunks everywhere...

wrong!

There is food! I saw a tree in front of me, densely packed with tender leaves no more than one centimeter in size, and pearl flowers dotted in the middle like rice grains of pearls!

This is edible!

But it was still early, and picking them too early might make them stale. Huaiyu hesitated for a moment and decided to come back later.

Because she was thinking about the pearl flower in her mind, she was afraid of getting lost, so she didn't dare to go far and just wandered around nearby.

Unfortunately, there were only tall trees and red pines here, but not a single pine cone was found on the ground. After searching for a long time, there was still no result.

During this time, he saw a thick dry tree lying on the ground. Huaiyu stared at it for a long time, and the more he looked, the more regretful he felt:

What a wonderful tree! If I could drag it back to my house, I could break off the bark to burn for firewood, saw off the trunk to make stools and tables, or even split it into pieces to make firewood! It's too perfect!

She couldn't even imagine how lively and cheerful she would be if she had this big tree trunk.

Unfortunately, reality is so cruel.

The tree trunk was so big that Huaiyu couldn't drag it at all.

Moreover, it is not raining now, so no matter how many signs of decay there are on the surface of the tree trunks, not a single mushroom has grown.

well.

She sighed and patted the tree trunk gently: "What a beautiful piece of waste."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slight "click" sound.

Huaiyu stood up straight and saw a pine cone that had somehow fallen right next to the center of the tree trunk.

Her eyes lit up and she walked over quickly.

I found that they were still pine cones of Pinus armandii, but compared to the super big ones I had asked for last time, these pine cones were obviously half the size.

But if you break open the seed scales, you can still find pine nuts inside - they are small, but full enough!

She held the pine cone and stared at the center of the tree trunk with expectation. Then she poked at a branch and unexpectedly made a hole under the rotten bark! She put the stick in and flipped it twice. She clearly felt something inside. She carefully reached out and touched it...

Hey! Another pine cone! What is this? This is the squirrel's treasure trove that she has been searching all over the mountain for but couldn't find!

As expected of me, the son of destiny! Huai Yu instantly burst out with boundless strength, and now he took the stick and pried along the rotten bark, and soon pried a gap on the side of the trunk.

The rotten bark fell off, and she discovered that there was a passage in the middle of the tree, like a hole made by something...

This poor tree may have died because it was empty in the middle. Then it fell down and became a treasure trove for squirrels...

Now, it's all hers! She used a thin branch to dig and dig, trying to push as much of the stuff inside as possible into the pried hole.

Along with the continuous sound, a small hill soon formed in the tree hole.

Acorns, chestnuts, kernels, walnuts, hazelnuts… and peanuts! And then there are the growing number of small pine cones.

This thing takes up more space than dried fruits. The tree hole is full of it, so much so that when it is pushed out now, it has actually formed a small hill!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Huaiyu squatted on the ground, with a smile on her face! She held all the various nuts in her hands and put them into the red bucket. The big red bucket, which was big enough to hold 40 liters of water, was filled with small nuts alone, which filled up half of the bucket!

Then there are the pine cones piled up to the point of tipping over...

She simply took off her coat and piled the remaining pine cones into her wide windbreaker, then pulled off the heavy elastic rope on her head, wrapped it around a few times, and finally harvested another big bag! Until the last handful of hazelnuts was put into the red bucket and slid down through the gaps in the pine cones, the tree could no longer take out anything.

Huai Yu withdrew his hand with satisfaction: "Big tree, big tree... A big tree with a hole is a good big tree..."

After all this trouble, she didn't know how much time had passed. She looked at the sky and decided to start her return journey.

Who would have thought that on the way back, I took a detour and saw some slender wild vegetables sticking out from among the dead branches and leaves in front of me, with the ends curled into cute little circles...

It's bracken! Huai Yu stood there in a daze, looking at the full and heavy bucket, then touching the windbreaker bag he was carrying with difficulty, and finally looking at the vine net bag in his hand that had too many holes and was of no use...

Damn it! Why are there so many good things today? Could she really be the child of destiny? !

She put down her package with hesitation, carefully looked around the barren fern slope, and found lush green shepherd's purse at the foot of the mountain...

Huaiyu: ...

She looked at her body - there was really nothing to put things in! After thinking about it, she simply took off the thin vines on her back, tied knots on the nearby trees as marks, and then extended all the way to the pearl flower.

I'll go back first today and visit the trading market in the afternoon.

Tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely come to pick wild vegetables! From today on, Sanqing Mountain is her home!

…

These heavy things together were several times heavier than the tarpaulin, and they had to be carried carefully across the mountain. Huaiyu was sweating profusely, but he finally managed to bring the things back successfully.

She could even proudly say: Not a single pine cone has fallen! But now, she looked at the sky and didn't even have time to sort them. She only had time to put down the things she didn't need, and she just picked up the bucket and carried the pine cones on her back and set off to the bus station!

Update is here! Tomorrow is the Hongsheng Pedestrian Street Trading Market! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
