Once you see a snake, you won’t go up the mountain for ten days.
However, under the pressure of reality, Song Jinxiu still had to go up the mountain to collect firewood.
If you don’t collect firewood, you won’t have firewood to burn. If you don’t have firewood to burn, you won’t have food to eat, so you have to do it in order not to go hungry.
After resting for two days to recover, Liu Ankang took Song Jinxiu up the mountain again.
But since we are just chopping wood this time, any hill will do.
Song Jinxiu put on long-sleeved trousers as usual, tied the cuffs of the trouser legs tightly, took the axe, and rushed to the battlefield with high spirits.
Liu Ankang chose the nearest hill, but it had just been cleared and only some small branches were left, which Liu Ankang didn't like.
He had no choice but to move Song Jinxiu to the second destination.
When they arrived at the place, the two of them divided the work and worked together.
Liu Ankang was responsible for climbing the tree and cutting down the branches, and Song Jinxiu was responsible for picking them up.
There was no way around it. Song Jinxiu couldn't climb trees. The two of them didn't have the strength to chop down the tree, and even if they did, they couldn't drag it back.
I had to cut off some branches, some of which were still quite thick.
Song Jinxiu picked up and put away the items as she went along, otherwise if she had to carry them back by herself, it would take her forever!
He didn't pick and choose, he just reached out and swept over them, collecting them all, no matter how big or small.
The small ones can be kept for kindling.
The two of them worked for a long time before they collected two bundles of firewood. Liu Ankang was chopping so much firewood that he almost doubted his life.
Is his efficiency so slow? At first, I thought Song Jinxiu was not fast enough and wanted to come down to help.
When I came down to take a look, I saw that the ground was quite clean, so was it my fault?
So Liu Ankang chopped harder, chopped harder, and Song Jinxiu happily harvested, harvested, harvested.
This little guy looks so small, but I didn’t expect him to be so powerful!
Liu Ankang is actually at the end of his strength now. When his left hand is tired, he switches to his right hand, and when his right hand is sore, he switches to his left hand.
Could it be that I have been eating too well recently and that has caused my reaction to become slow?
The adults were right. People really can't eat too well.
At my usual speed, shouldn't I be able to finish the two bundles of firewood quickly?
After finally chopping two bundles of firewood, Liu Ankang was too tired to talk anymore.
"Now that we're here, is there anything delicious to eat nearby?" After going up the mountain for so long without doing anything, Song Jinxiu's heart began to stir again.
Those are all gifts from nature, and we are nature's porters.
Liu Ankang glanced at her, bent his legs, and then shook them.
"..." Song Jinxiu looked at the other party's inquiring eyes. If the little brat hadn't looked so serious, she would have thought that the other party was laughing at her.
"I'm fine now. You can walk around a little. Just don't walk too far." Song Jinxiu said.
Liu Ankang thought for a while. Suddenly, he remembered a place. So he took her up the mountain.
"What about firewood?" Song Jinxiu asked.
Liu Ankang placed two bundles of firewood inside the haystack to provide some cover.
He took the hatchet and left with Song Jinxiu. No one would want the two bundles of matchsticks.
He took Song Jinxiu over a hill and came to a tree.
You can see rotten fruit before you even walk under the tree.
Song Jinxiu looked at the rotten flesh on the ground, so, is this a pear tree?
When I got closer, I saw that it was indeed a pear. A wild pear was only the size of a palm, and I didn't know whether it was sweet or not.
The tree is only about one person tall, and the ones around and lower ones can be picked with just a hand, but you have to climb up the tree to pick the ones above.
Logically, the fruits on top receive more sunlight and should be sweeter.
So Song Jinxiu was responsible for picking the low ones, and Liu Ankang was responsible for climbing up the tree to pick the high ones.
Song Jinxiu pulled them down one by one.
Liu Ankang couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he jumped down and taught her how to pick pears correctly.
He gestured to Song Jinxiu to pick him up, hold the fruit with both hands, lift the front of the pear upwards, and then pick it off, separating the fruit from the stalk.
I picked some more leaves and spread them underneath.
Watching Liu Ankang pick the intact pears easily, Song Jinxiu nodded.
"My studies are a failure, my studies are a failure. No wonder all my pears are rotten." She pulled hard, and the stems of many pears fell off!
"Okay, okay, let's pick them quickly and go back." Song Jinxiu put him down and asked him to pick them quickly.
There weren't many fruits on this tree, so we picked them all and went home.
Liu Ankang needs two hands. Song Jinxiu only needs one.
He carried the basket in front of him and picked the fruits one by one in each hand, having a lot of fun.
Although your hands will feel sore after holding them up for a long time to pick pears, nothing is a problem in the face of the joy of a good harvest.
Pick from outside to inside.
Suddenly, Song Jinxiu felt like she stepped on something.
The thing under her feet was still struggling. She was too frightened to move.
"An'an, An'an. Come here quickly!" Song Jinxiu called out to Liu Ankang loudly.
Then, the thing under my feet seemed to be threatened and began to move violently.
Song Jinxiu had no choice but to step on it hard.
Suddenly, she felt something wrapped around her calf.
Don't let it be what you think.
"Ahhhh!! Ahhhh!! An'an." Song Jinxiu screamed in horror.
Liu Ankang also ran to her side at this time, saw the thing on her foot, chopped it off with a machete and threw it away.
"Is it, is it a snake?" Song Jinxiu asked in a trembling voice when she felt that there was no movement under her feet.
Liu Ankang took out a bent vine and showed it to her, indicating that it was a vine that had just entangled her.
"Yes, is that so? But my feet were moving just now. I must have stepped on some animal." Song Jinxiu said in shock.
