After hearing about Yun Xiaoxiao's plight, Yuan's mother and the others felt even more sorry for her.
He kept telling Yuan Shitou to treat Xiaoxiao well and not to bully her.
Yuan Shitou had already come to regard Yun Xiaoxiao as his wife in his heart.
How could I possibly bully her?
We're too busy spoiling her.
And so, our rough-and-tumble uncle Yuan Shitou began his journey of doting on his wife.
It's the kind of pampering that has no limits.
Look, as soon as Yun Xiaoxiao got up, Yuan Shitou brought her water to wash her face.
She also picked a handful of wildflowers and placed them in her room.
After she finished washing her face, she quickly poured the water out.
She ran to urge her mother if dinner was ready, as Xiao Xiao was hungry.
This made Mr. and Mrs. Yuan roll their eyes.
When Yuan Shitou saw Yun Xiaoxiao come out, he almost went up to help her.
Mother Yuan shook her head at the sight.
Yun Xiaoxiao was also a little embarrassed.
She felt very uncomfortable with Yuan Shitou's behavior.
After breakfast, Yuan Shitou took Yun Xiaoxiao up the mountain.
Yuan's mother also went along.
It rained last night, though not heavily, but the mushrooms in the mountains must have sprouted.
She was afraid that Yun Xiaoxiao wouldn't recognize it, so she taught her.
Yuan Shitou, who used to be so careless, has actually become meticulous now.
He used a stick to dust off the places he had walked through.
I'm afraid that Yunxiao's trouser legs will get wet from the dew on the weeds.
Yuan's mother watched from behind and found it amusing; her mischievous son had finally come to his senses.
Previously, Fan Xiaohua from the village wanted to marry him.
They also thought highly of the marriage.
But that bear said he only saw her as a girl.
This angered Fan Xiaohua so much that she married a widower from the foot of the mountain whose wife had died.
Now when you look at them, their noses don't look like noses and their eyes don't look like eyes.
It's as if they're the ones causing the trouble.
Look at me now, I've met someone I like...
Yun Xiaoxiao walked and looked around.
I think that place is good.
She loves running around in the mountains, feeling free and unrestrained.
It's like the feeling of a bird that has been released from its cage and gained freedom.
The three of them searched for a long time and actually found quite a few mushrooms.
They are all fairly common straw mushrooms.
However, Yun Xiaoxiao was still very happy because she had just seen a wild rabbit run past her.
This proves that there are many wild animals in these mountains.
If you're craving meat, just come in and take a look; you're guaranteed to find something you like.
On the way back, Yun Xiaoxiao dug up a lot more dandelions.
This can be dried and steeped in water to drink, or it can be boiled and mixed into a dish to eat.
You can also fry eggs with it.
This looks good, but it doesn't come with eggs.
We don't raise chickens at home, so I can only think about it when I have free time.
Bird eggs would also be fine.
With this in mind, Yun Xiaoxiao kept an eye on the trees to see if there were any bird nests.
I almost fell into the ditch several times.
So frightened was Yuan Shitou that he wanted to carry her away.
When she said she was looking for bird eggs, I assumed she was craving chicken eggs.
Mother Yuan then said:
"After I get back, I'll go to the village chief's house to see if he has any eggs."
His family raises several chickens.
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao immediately stopped her.
She didn't want the whole village to know that Yuan's mother had borrowed eggs for her sake.
Yuan Shitou grabbed her hand and ran, saying to his mother as they ran:
“Mother, you go back first. I know where there are bird nests.”
I'll take Xiaoxiao with me, we'll be back in a little while.
Yuan's mother thought that she could just borrow two from the village chief's house.
In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.
Yuan Shitou led Yun Xiaoxiao to the foot of a large mountain.
This mountain is several times larger than the previous one.
The trees inside are very lush, and you can feel the danger even standing outside.
Yun Xiaoxiao blinked. "This is the real mountain, isn't it?"
The rest can only be considered hills.
Yuan Shitou told her that the mountain was called Misty Mountain.
Nobody knows how big it is.
From a young age, elders would always remind the children in the family that Misty Mountain was dangerous and should not be entered.
Even the braver ones only wandered around the perimeter and didn't dare to go inside.
Yun Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "What's inside?"
Are there tigers and wolves?
In her mind, tigers were the fiercest creatures.
Secondly, there are wolves.
Wolves may not be as tough as bears, but they are very difficult to deal with.
Yuan Shitou nodded: "Yes, but we have never seen them, we have only heard their calls."
Yun Xiaoxiao was surprised; there really was one.
The two found two bird nests in a rather lush tree.
Don't let Yuan Shitou's big, burly appearance fool you; he looks like a black bear.
It was quite agile, and it scrambled up the tree in no time.
When he jumped down, he was holding six or seven patterned eggs, smaller than quail eggs, in his hand.
Yun Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed; it was too small.
Seeing her expression, Yuan Shitou said again, "Let's look again. There are many birds and nests in these mountains."
"Little by little, we'll accumulate a lot over time."
Yun Xiaoxiao has stopped pinning her hopes on the bird eggs.
She looked around at the weeds and said, "Let's look for wild eggs or something. Bird eggs aren't important."
Yuan Shitou pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Okay, you'd better stay close to me and not stray too far."
"It's very dangerous in these mountains."
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded happily in agreement.
Both of them held a sturdy tree branch in their hands, searching while patting the bushes.
Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Not to mention wild eggs, we didn't even see a single pheasant nest.
Yun Xiaoxiao was somewhat discouraged and kept complaining to herself.
Looking at the mountains, there wasn't even a single wild egg.
I thought that with such good vegetation, there would be plenty of food inside.
But apart from a few tiny bird eggs, there was nothing else of interest to be seen.
Just as she was complaining, a snake, not much smaller than the branch in her hand, appeared.
It darted out from the grass she was patting.
Without a second thought, the branch swiftly swept towards the snake's vital spot.
The snake was struck at its vital spot and lay there limp and lifeless.
Just as Yun Xiaoxiao was about to reach out to grab it, she immediately pulled her hand back.
He shouted in a terrified voice, "Brother Stone, there's a snake!"
Yuan Shitou was not far from her, and upon hearing her shout, he leaped to her side.
"Don't be afraid, Little One, I'll kill it."
The snake turned out to be limp and lifeless, which was rather strange.
I used a branch to lift the snake up and sway it back and forth a few times.
Curious, I asked, "Hey, what's wrong with this snake? It doesn't seem dead, so why isn't it moving?"
Yun Xiaoxiao touched the tip of her nose somewhat guiltily and said in an uncertain tone:
"Did I hit it when I was clearing the bushes?"
To everyone's surprise, that simpleton Yuan Shitou actually nodded with a straight face:
"That's right, this snake is really unlucky."
"Our little one is really amazing; she took down such a big snake without us even realizing it."
Yun Xiaoxiao almost burst out laughing when she heard his words.
With great difficulty, I managed to suppress the upturned corners of my lips and asked:
"What should we do with the snake?"
Should we dig a hole and bury it?
Yuan Shitou nodded seriously: "It must be buried."
I've already found a place for it; it'll be buried inside our bellies.
That's much safer.
Yun Xiaoxiao finally broke down.
He laughed and said, "Brother Stone, you're so funny."
I've heard that snakes taste better when stewed with chicken.
What was the name of that soup again?
She pretended not to remember.
