Chapter 165
"Sister Qiao, it seems that only the two big ones in your family are smart. I think Xia Beibei's Baba is stupid and only knows how to eat. I guess he won't be able to use the bag." Lin Haiyang picked up the wild vegetables on the ground and didn't forget to be naughty.
"When Baba grows up, you will be able to distinguish who is the big and small king. Now he is still young, and you slander him. I will remember everything he didn't hear or remember. When he grows up to be a lion king, I hope you can stand up straight in front of him." Xia Beibei's mood was so stable that a few words were enough to make Lin Haiyang choke.
Looking at the two children fighting, Qiao Sheng just watched the excitement.
Later, Ah Dai and You Su's picking business also formed an industrial chain. Li Mu went to see that You Su would jump over and pick up the fruits in places that were not too steep, and Ah Dai would fly over to pick the fruits in particularly steep places.
Picking and delivering a little bit was troublesome and time-consuming, so Li Mu also made a basket for them. After picking, they put the fruits in the basket. When the basket was full, Ah Dai would hold the fruits and deliver them to Qiao Sheng. When the basket was empty, Ah Dai would bring the fruits back to the edge of the cliff. This greatly improved the work efficiency.
The hunger bar was almost at the safety value, so the four of them found a flat place and ate food while resting to replenish the hunger bar.
After eating and drinking, they continued to work. Xia Beibei kept saying that she had been lazy in the classroom for the past ten years, but she had made up for all the work in the past few months.
In view of the state of Zong Zuo and Zong You this morning, Qiao Sheng and the others did not pick any mushrooms except shiitake mushrooms.
He was not familiar with this, and for a little food, he really ate himself to debuff, which was not worth it.
Lin Haiyang pointed to several kinds of mushrooms on the ground and said that he knew them and asked him to pick them to eat, but he didn't dare to. He stretched out his hand, but he was not sure. In the end, he chose to give up, mainly because he saw the experience of the two and didn't dare to try it easily. They
were busy picking for most of the day, and they also killed a lot of wild animals, including a lot of beehives. However, they did not move, after all, there were already beehives on the boat. Looking at Lin Haiyang's face, there was really no need to risk being bitten to collect.
They were still walking down the mountain and collecting various ingredients when they saw Ah Dai and You Su running towards them. This speed was obviously a problem. Qiao Sheng and Li Mu immediately changed their weapons. Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang reacted a step slower, but when they saw their movements, they also put away the hoes in their hands and changed to the weapons they were most comfortable with.
After seeing clearly why the two guys ran, Qiao Sheng and the others were also ready to run. There was no way to fight them.
Ah Dai didn't even drop the basket in his claws when he was running for his life. You Su even moved in a zigzag pattern and ran in a snake-like manner. A large bird followed them. When they got closer, they could see clearly that they were two eagles.
One of them followed them, ready to pounce on You Su and Ah Dai at any time. The other one disappeared while flying, and reappeared with a large stone in its claws. It accelerated to get close to You Su and Ah Dai and threw it down.
Fortunately, You Su and Ah Dai were not big and were very agile. The stone didn't hit them, but the raised mud hit You Su's face several times. Ah Dai, who was flying in the sky, was not affected.
"What's going on? Are these two guys poking at the eagle's nest? Should we fight or flee?" Seeing the two eagles so well-planned, Lin Haiyang was a little scared. It was obviously difficult to deal with them.
Qiao Sheng had already put away the princess's sword in her hand and replaced it with a crossbow that was usually more accurate. She put an arrow on it and started shooting. Shooting arrows at the sky, especially at flying creatures, was much more difficult than shooting at creatures on the ground.
There was also the problem of gravity and parabola, so she shot five or six arrows in a row, but did not hurt the two eagles at all. However, the two birds were disrupted by her arrows, allowing Ah Dai and You Su to escape further.
Li Mu changed to the bow of the NPC reward. The arrows he shot were very different from those shot by Qiao Sheng. They all had built-in explosion and tracking functions. After one arrow was shot, the eagle kept chasing Ah Dai and You Su. It seemed to sense danger and immediately changed direction and flew at an accelerated speed.
However, the tracking arrow means that it will keep chasing. They have never tried it before. From the first arrow, they knew that this thing is not so invincible.
Qiao Sheng thought he would chase to the ends of the earth. It turns out that the tracking arrow has a distance limit. As long as it flies the maximum distance, the arrow will explode on the spot and there will be a small explosion. If the person being chased stops to watch the excitement, he will most likely be blown up.
They watched the eagle flying away with their eyes wide open, and brought the tracking arrow to the farthest distance. The arrow stopped, and the eagle turned back to see the excitement, and exploded, with a lot of feathers burnt.
This situation was enough to make Qiao Sheng and others standing far away laugh. Some of them heard the laughter and wanted to turn back to see the excitement. They almost forgot that there was a stone thrower behind them. They stumbled and were almost hit.
Li Mu shot another arrow at the stone thrower eagle. This one was obviously not as smart as the previous one. It faced the arrow and chased the prey foolishly. Fortunately, its reaction was still fast. The eagle with burnt feathers cried out in the distance, and it immediately threw the stone in its claws and turned around to escape.
The eagle with burnt feathers retreated to a safe distance. When both eagles were standing at a safe distance, the tracking arrow exploded. Because the distance was far enough, neither eagle was affected.
The unwise one spread its wings and prepared to take off, continuing to catch Yousu and Ah Dai. Before it could fly, it was stopped by its smart companion because Yousu and Ah Dai had already run to Qiao Sheng's side, and Li Mu once again raised the tracking arrow, which was very threatening to them.
In this case, the smart eagle looked at Qiao Sheng and the others for a long time, turned around and flew away.
The four of them finally relaxed, thanks to Su Junqing's gift. Without this bow with built-in tracking function, they might not have escaped unscathed.
Yousu and Ah Dai were already lying on the ground gasping for breath. Qiao Sheng took some water from his bag and fed them first, then checked them from head to toe to see if they were injured.
Fortunately, after the inspection, it was confirmed that they were just tired and had no external injuries. Qiao Sheng also asked them if they were injured, but they both shook their heads. Everyone was relieved.
After they calmed down, they remembered to ask them where they had provoked the eagle. The two pretended not to understand at first, and then looked around. It was clear that something serious had happened.
Li Mu took the basket that Ah Dai had been holding and stretched out his hand to touch it. Ah Dai immediately jumped up to grab the basket. The two sides were in a stalemate and neither was willing to let go.
The man and the owl stared at each other for a long time before Ah Dai gave up and flew behind Qiao
Sheng without looking up, which made the others very curious. What on earth had he stolen to make Ah Dai behave like this? When Li Mu took out an egg from the basket, Qiao Sheng pulled Ah Dai out from behind him and pointed at the egg: "Is this why you two got beaten?"
"It's not unfair to get beaten. What were you thinking? Kidnapping? Stealing a child?" Xia Beibei was helpless when she saw the egg in Li Mu's hand. Aren't these two very smart? How could they do such a stupid thing.
Lin Haiyang, who was standing nearby, also expressed his incomprehension of the current situation and could only weakly ask, "Is it because of maternal love?"
"This is the worst time that maternal love has been slandered. Both of these guys are male! It has nothing to do with maternal love! It's pure eagle kidnapping! You stole it, can you hatch it? No one in the family can hatch an eagle!" Qiao Sheng grabbed Ah Dai and shook it vigorously a few times.
You Su had already squatted at her feet and rubbed against her. Xia Beibei deciphered and thought that the vixen meant that Ah Dai was the one who did all the bad things and it had nothing to do with it, because it was a good fox. The
four people discussed whether to send the eggs back or take them away. In their hearts, they didn't want to raise the little eagle. It would be better if they could send it back, and they wouldn't have to make enemies with the two eagles.
But they didn't know where the eagle's nest was. It was on a steep cliff and it was estimated that no one could get there. They asked Ah Dai to go, but he refused to cooperate. They asked You Su to go, but he showed them how he couldn't get the eggs. It wasn't that the baby didn't try hard, but that the baby couldn't do it.
Even when Qiao Sheng threatened Ah Dai with cutting off food for three days, he didn't change his mind.
"Forget it, the sun is going down, let's go back to the boat first, otherwise it will be dark and it will be dangerous if the eagle comes again. Let's take them all back first. If its parents can find it, we can give it to them." Qiao Sheng gave up. This stubborn boy was getting more and more difficult to manage.
After packing up, the four of them started to walk down the mountain. Ah Dai and You Su didn't dare to take it easy this time. One flew in the sky, and the other jumped on the ground. They didn't look like they usually needed to be carried
. "Too smart, they can read people's faces. They know you two are in a bad mood, so they don't dare to put on their shoulders." Lin Haiyang looked at the behavior of the two little guys and suddenly felt that it was good to be able to raise such smart animals.
"Don't think about it, there is no chance. Now you can only envy my Baba. It still has a chance, but the various livestock you raise have no chance at all." Xia Beibei finally got his revenge on Baba in the morning.
Apart from the bruised knees, going down the mountain was much easier than going up. There were no living creatures this time, and the game they hunted was packed in bags. Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei took out their hiking sticks as usual and used them to go down the mountain.
When they got back to the boat, they saw that the smoke from Zong Ruqing's boat was already rising. The cooks were the other two young men and Zong Ruqing, who even greeted Qiao Sheng and his friends before continuing their work.
Qiao Sheng and his friends returned to the boat and started preparing dinner. Although Lin Haiyang's face was still swollen, it was not as painful as yesterday, so he took the initiative to go into the kitchen to cook.
Although he said he was cutting off food for Ah Dai, Qiao Sheng still went to steam shark-filled buns for them when it was time for dinner.
Xia Beibei was busy feeding the livestock on the three ships, and she also did not forget to replace the silkworm room with a large amount of new mulberry leaves. She picked out the silkworms that had already formed a cocoon and put them separately, and Li Mu would come to clean them up later.
When the four people were busy, Ah Dai secretly took away the basket that Li Mu had placed on the dining table. It also knew how to take a detour and flew out of the wooden window at the stern. It waited until Xia Beibei left the cabin on the third floor before it flew in, and then it was unknown how it negotiated with the group of hens and ducklings.
Anyway, when it was time to eat, the four people looked for it all over the ship, and finally found Ah Dai squatting outside the chicken and duck nest on the third floor, and the kidnapped eagle was now being incubated in the hens' nest.
Qiao Sheng poked Ah Dai's head, poking it and asking if he wanted to hit her in the face. Before going down the mountain, he said that there was no one at home who could hatch eagle eggs, but he tricked the little hen into hatching them. The little ducks next to him were obviously queuing up. It didn't count tricking one person, but he worked in two shifts.
