Not daring to go digging for dirt bags in the wild with her friends, Qin Xiaoxiao's life has lost a lot of fun.

Every day, apart from feeding the rabbits to eat radish leaves and Bieba to eat straw, I was chased by the rhubarb. Most of the time, I sat side by side with Sanbao at the door of the yard, staring at the clear blue sky.

Seeing his younger brothers and sisters looking bored, Dabao said quietly: "Er Gou and I went up the mountain to collect firewood, will you go?"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the pile of firewood under the eaves and wondered: "There is a lot of firewood at home, why do we still need to pick it up?"

Dabao looked left and right to make sure the adults couldn't hear, and then whispered: "We are going to bring sweet potatoes and grains to the mountain to collect firewood and roast them. They will be delicious!"

Qin Xiaoxiao immediately became interested: "Go, I'll go!"

After winter, the little girl often stayed in front of the stove to let the adults roast sweet potatoes and roasted grains for her. It was indeed fragrant and delicious, but she had never seen sweet potatoes and roasted grains roasted in the wild. It was fun to think about it.

As for the black raccoons on the mountain, after two close encounters, she was no longer so afraid. She could only coax them more and get their hair rubbed.

"Go, I'll go too!" Sanbao also responded positively, fearing that his brother and sister would leave him behind.

So the three brothers and sisters secretly took four or five sweet potatoes from the hole where the sweet potatoes were stored, and about half a catty of rice grains from the cloth bag while the adults were not paying attention.

These things were enough for the three of them to bake for a long time, so they didn't dare to take more for fear of being scolded if the adults found out.

Qin Xiaoxiao felt sorry for Bie Baa who could only eat straw to fill her stomach every day, so she opened the shed and let him go up the mountain with him, maybe he could find some cold-resistant plants and trees to satisfy his hunger.

Not to mention Rhubarb, after driving away a few domestic cats that came up to beg for a pet, he spread his legs and ran wildly up the mountain like a wild horse that had escaped its reins.

When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, Ergou and five other people who had made an appointment with Dabao were already waiting.

When they saw Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao, they didn't dislike it. They just made fun of Dabao, saying that he was like an old woman and never forgot his brothers and sisters wherever he went.

A group of eight people walked slowly up the mountain along the mountain path. Compared with the summer when the lush vegetation can be a bit obstructive, it is easier to go up the mountain at this time. There is no need to worry about being bitten by snakes and insects hidden in the grass, and there is no need to worry about being scratched by thorns and being exposed.

skin and flesh.

After walking a long mountain road, just when Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao were almost unable to walk, they were brought to a small stream by Dabao and others.

The source of this stream is deep in the mountains, and the end is Qinghu Lake. The stream is very small. The widest part of the stream is about three feet and the narrowest point is less than one foot. When you play here, you don't have to worry about falling in and being unable to get up.

Therefore, when Dabao and his friends come to the mountains to bake and eat, they usually choose to sit by a stream for easy cleaning and putting out fires.

"Okay, let's stay here!" Dabao looked around and chose a flat and sheltered area: "Be careful when you bake something later, don't bring the fire to the mountain."

The weather is dry and things are dry, and mountain fires are prone to occur.

"It's not your first time baking something in the mountains, so you have to say that." The others had no objection. After putting down the sweet potatoes and other items they brought, they spread out to collect firewood along the creek.

Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao also followed obediently, picking up whatever they picked up.

It was the first time Dahuang and Bieme came here, and they sniffed around cautiously to see if there was any potential danger.

After finding that it was safe, Bie Mah went around looking for something to eat. Rhubarb seemed to smell the smell of prey and kept sniffing back and forth in one place. It remembered its responsibilities and never stayed away from Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Xiaoxiao ignored them and soon picked up a pile of dry branches and a lot of withered pine needles on the ground. Others did the same, and the pile of firewood they collected reached half a person's height, which was enough to burn for a long time.

Ergou took out the flint and steel he got from home and lit the dry pine needles. Soon the small fire turned into a large fire, crackling and burning vigorously.

Qin Xiaoxiao's little face turned red from the heat. Seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, she subconsciously took a few steps back, picked up a sweet potato and threw it into the fire from a distance.

"Sister, wait a minute, you can't throw it away now." Dabao quickly stopped: "The sweet potatoes baked under this fire are easy to burn. Let's wait for the flames to go out and bake them with the remaining fire, so that the sweet potatoes will be fragrant."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't expect that roasting a sweet potato would be tricky, so he had to put the sweet potato down: "Brother, when the flames are out, you teach me how to roast them. I want to roast the sweet potatoes myself."

Dabao responded: "No problem, the three of us will bury the sweet potatoes together later and eat them together when they are cooked." After saying that, he took out a handful of rice grains from the small cloth bag and placed it on the stone next to the fire.

Seeing this, other people also put the rice grains, soybean grains, corn grains, etc. they brought with them together with Dabao's grains. After they are popped, there is no need to tell who belongs to whom, everyone can share them.

Not long after, the rice and corn kernels exploded one by one, and the soybean kernels were roasted, emitting bursts of special aroma, which quickly attracted the greedy children.

"Sister, Sanbao, eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold." Dabao didn't care about how hot it was. He grabbed a handful and put it on another clean stone, calling his younger brothers and sisters to come over and eat.

Looking at the roasted and charred soybean kernels, the popping rice kernels as white as snow and the attractive yellow corn kernels, Qin Xiaoxiao decisively chose the corn kernels that looked more fragrant and delicious. She picked them up.

Put one in your mouth, and the burnt smell of the corn suddenly spreads: "Oh, it's delicious!"

Dabao also picked up one and threw it into his mouth, saying proudly: "Of course, it's much more delicious than the ones popped in our stove!"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded her head in agreement, and began to pick up the snow-white rice grains to eat. After finding that they were as fragrant as corn kernels, she picked several more grains in succession, peeled off their shells, and ate them all with her mouth open.

Sanbao also ate happily. Seeing that his little cousin didn't like to eat soybeans and preferred corn kernels, he silently put the corn kernels in a separate pile and specially picked out the burnt black soybean kernels to eat.

Qin Xiaoxiao discovered it and thought that the soybean kernels were delicious, so he picked up one and threw it into his mouth. He found that the taste was good. He ate several in a row and stuffed a few corn kernels to Sanbao: "Corn kernels are also good.

Eat, don’t be picky about food.”

Ergou laughed loudly: "You are picky about food, but you still have the nerve to talk about the Three Treasures."

The others looked at Qin Xiaoxiao, wanting to see how the little girl would defend herself.

Qin Xiaoxiao did not disappoint them. She patted Sanbao on the head and said, "I am a sister, of course you can call me a brother!"

Ergou was amused by her absurd reasoning and encouraged Dabao: "Go and tell your sister not to be picky about food. Let's see what your sister says."

Dabao was not as bored as them. Seeing that the fire was getting smaller and the ashes left were not enough to roast the sweet potatoes, he added a lot of firewood to it: "When you are free, just use the slingshot to shoot some birds and roast them."

Eat, don't just think about making my sister cry."

Ergou cut it up and took out a few sweet potatoes he had brought with him: "It's such a cold day and there are not many birds to see. Where can I go to shoot them? Besides, I have my slingshot at home, so I can't shoot them even if I want to."

"

Another kid named Shuanzi laughed and tried to break the story: "Why didn't you say that you were playing with the slingshot and shot your father's bird, which made your father cry and howl and confiscate the slingshot?"

Dabao and others didn't know about this. When they first heard Shuanzi talking about it, they all looked at Ergou in shock: "Thankfully you are your father's only son. Your father really loves you for not crippling you!

"

Ergou's face turned red and he kicked Shuanzi's butt: "Sister Xiaoxiao is still here, what are you yelling about!"

Shuanzi covered his butt and hid behind Dabao: "Don't block me with Sister Xiaoxiao, Sister Xiaoxiao doesn't understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Brother Ergou's father raised birds? Is the bird not dead?"

"Pfft, haha!" Shuanzi and the others burst into laughter. Seeing Ergou's face getting redder and redder, he could not stand upright with laughter.

Only Dabao and Ergou didn't laugh. They rushed over and beat Shuanzi: "Let you talk nonsense, let you yell, and lead my sister (sister Xiaoxiao)!"

Shuanzi tried to resist, but he was unable to fight with his four fists. He was quickly beaten by Dabao and Ergou. He repeatedly begged for mercy and said he would never talk nonsense again, so he was let go by them.

Seeing how miserable Brother Shuanzi was, Qin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to ask about the birds raised by Brother Ergou, no matter how curious he was, for fear that if he asked again, his brothers would deal with him.

"Ah - Rhubarb, bleat, you two bad guys actually ate all the food!"

It was no fun to watch, and the few people focused their attention on the roasted rice kernels, roasted corn kernels, and roasted soybeans, only to find that the food they placed on the stone was actually eaten by the rhubarb Bieba who touched it at some time.

After eating the roasted food, it wasn't enough. Her head was already buried in her backpack and she began to eat raw sweet potatoes.

"Bie Bah, you can't eat it!" Qin Xiaoxiao jumped up and ran over, pinched Bah Bah's ears and dragged it aside: "You are a greedy guy, you know how to do bad things!"

You don't eat what the eldest brother brings, but you go and steal what brother Ergou and the others have. You are too shameless!

"咩~"咩咩ate the sweet sweet potatoes with relish, not knowing what the shame was.

Dabao was very embarrassed and knew that Bieme had stolen one of Ergou's sweet potatoes, so he gave him one of the sweet potatoes he had brought with him.

Ergou didn't ask for it: "I brought several, it doesn't matter if one is missing."

Dabao knew that he didn't care about sweet potatoes, but he didn't want to take advantage of it. He poured all the remaining rice grains next to the fire: "Next time I come to the mountain to bake something, I will bring more."

Ergou and others waved their hands: "Rhubarb and Meie are giving us courage. They will just eat this little thing. You don't have to worry about it."

When Dahuang saw his little master teaching his friends a lesson, he realized that he had done something bad. Perhaps he was afraid that his little master would come to settle the score with him, so he hid behind a big rock more than ten feet away with his tail between his legs.

After Qin Xiaoxiao taught Baa Baa a lesson and saw no sign of Dahuang, he knew that this guy had escaped and made up his mind to pack it up after he got home.

Bieya was taught a lesson, and she followed Qin Xiaoxiao like a sheep, obviously not forgetting to eat and not to fight, and wanted to eat with her.

Qin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to pinch its ears to stop it from spinning around the fire, lest it would eat up the food before it was cooked properly.

When other people's corn kernels and soybean kernels were almost half roasted, the accumulated fire ashes were finally enough to bury the sweet potatoes. Everyone took out their own sweet potatoes and buried them all in the fire, and then lit another fire next to it.

Continue to roast the remaining corn kernels and soybean kernels, and keep yourself warm over the fire.

At this moment, Dahuang, who was hiding behind the big rock, suddenly discovered something and ran towards Qin Xiaoxiao while barking.

The children were startled. They picked up sticks and other objects on the ground and looked warily in the direction of Big Yellow's barking, fearing that some wild beast or the like was coming here.

"Meow!" A rough cat meow came from halfway up the mountain, followed by a group of cats calling: "Meow!"

"Oh, it's a black raccoon!" Dabao breathed a sigh of relief: "These black raccoons are so thieves. We've only been here half an hour before they came over."

Ergou laughed and said, "The black raccoon's nose is very sharp. He must have memorized the smell of Xiaoxiao's sister."

Shuanzi said: "This mountain is not far from the top of the mountain where they are staying. Maybe there is a black raccoon hunting nearby and found Sister Xiaoxiao."

Qin Xiaoxiao was a little nervous and subconsciously hid behind Dabao: "Brother, I haven't seen the big cat for a long time. Will the big cat bite me when he is angry?"

Dabao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this: "Yeah, probably not. If they dare to bite you, big brother will help you beat them." As he said that, he clenched the wooden stick in his hand.

"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, Sanbao will protect you!" Sanbao held the little cousin's hand tightly, comforting her like a little adult, and stood by her side with Biemei.

Ergou and others were frightened by the reaction of the three brothers and sisters. They were afraid that the black raccoon was coming to seek revenge, so they quickly picked up the wooden sticks they had put down. Although it may not be useful, it can be somewhat emboldening!

Facts have proved that they have overthought it, and it is too late for the black raccoons to please Qin Xiaoxiao. How can they be angry because she has not gone to the mountain to see them for several months.

"Meow~" Chubby ignored Rhubarb's barking and was the first to run towards Qin Xiaoxiao. This look of joy might not even exist if he saw his own mother.

There were only a dozen or so black raccoons following it, far fewer than the previous two. It seems that as Shuanzi said, they found Qin Xiaoxiao while hunting on a nearby mountain, and the other black raccoons should be elsewhere.

One of the black raccoon dogs still had a pheasant in its mouth. It ran up to Qin Xiaoxiao and spit the pheasant on the ground. It swung its tail and meowed at her, and rubbed her waist and abdomen with its furry head.

Realizing that they were not angry or malicious, Qin Xiaoxiao felt relieved and took the initiative to touch their heads. She found that the touch was even better than the previous two times. She took a closer look and suddenly realized: "What have you been eating in the past few months?

Why have you gained weight?"

"Meow~" The black raccoon could not understand human words, so he meowed happily under Qin Xiaoxiao's little paws.

Chubby even relied on himself as the "leader" and lay directly in Qin Xiaoxiao's arms, revealing his round belly.

"Sister, they are just like rhubarb. They put on thicker fur in winter to make them look fatter. Otherwise, how could they carry it when the mountains are so cold." Dabao resisted the itching of his hands and explained to the black raccoons.

Qin Xiaoxiao's little paws landed on the soft belly of the black wild raccoon, and then touched its slightly cold claws along the belly: "They don't have a house to live in, and they don't know how to make a fire. They are so pitiful!"

"Meow~" Chubby snored as he was being stroked, his big round eyes gradually narrowed, and he became sleepy in Qin Xiaoxiao's warm embrace. If it could understand Qin Xiaoxiao, it would definitely say it

He is the happiest black raccoon dog in the world.

The other black raccoons were jealous of Chubby sleeping in Qin Xiaoxiao's arms, and deliberately came up to harass him, either biting his ears or pulling his tail.

Chubby was so annoyed that he finally got up from Qin Xiaoxiao's arms and gave up his position amidst the dissatisfied "meows" of his companions. The other black wild civets were not polite and took turns lying in Qin Xiaoxiao's arms.

Qin Xiaoxiao lay down from head to toe and fell asleep. She reluctantly gave way until her companion woke her up.

Ergou and the others were dumbfounded. They almost couldn't control their claws and picked up a black raccoon in their arms. Fortunately, they still had sense and were frightened back by the fierce looks of the vigilant black raccoons.

Dabao watched for a while and found that Rhubarb was secretly trying to bite the pheasant on the ground. He quickly stepped forward to pick up the pheasant. He was about to put the pheasant in the basket and take it back together when they went down the mountain. Qin Xiaoxiao heard what he expected

Question: "Brother, is the roasted pheasant delicious?"

Dabao looked at his sister funny: "We didn't bring a knife or salt. We can't pluck out the chicken feathers without boiling water. Let's take it home and talk about it later!"

Qin Xiaoxiao was so disappointed that she had no choice but to continue playing with the big cat and not think about what roasted pheasant felt like.

Ergou and others were also disappointed. They were very interested in the taste of roasted pheasant. Unfortunately, there was nothing, so they could only think about it.

When Qin Xiaoxiao finished playing with more than a dozen big cats and chatted face to face with the big cats sitting in rows, the sweet potatoes buried under the fire gave off a sweet smell.

Dabao took out one with a stick and pressed it. He found that it was ripe, so he and others took out all the sweet potatoes and put them next to the ashes to wait for them to cool down.

"Meow~" The black raccoon was attracted by the smell that he had never smelled before. He walked closer to the ashes and sniffed the roasted sweet potatoes.

The vigilance woven into their bones and blood prevented them from opening their mouths.

Qin Xiaoxiao washed her hands, picked up a sweet potato and gently peeled off the skin. After making sure that the sweet potato was not hot, she handed it to her chubby mouth: "Try it, it's delicious."

"Meow~" Chubby tilted his head and glanced at her, let out a soft cry, then stretched out his big rough tongue and gently licked the roasted sweet potato with the tip of his tongue.

After all, it is a beast that grew up eating meat. It is chubby and is not used to the taste and sticky texture of sweet potatoes. After one lick, it refuses to eat again. The other black raccoons are so curious about the taste of sweet potatoes that they eagerly come up to lick it.

.After each lick, you can see the deep disgust in their eyes.

Seeing that most of the roasted sweet potatoes were left after being licked by more than a dozen big cats, Qin Xiaoxiao did not hesitate to call for the rhubarb that had been salivating for a long time and stuffed the roasted sweet potatoes into its big mouth.
Chapter completed!
